Appreciation letter from Goldhofer to Dr. Amin Ghafooripour for Implementation on boggies
Description: It is a safe transporter for a 1000-ton vessel in Assaluye port, which may be unique in the Middle East, and is designed for IRAN DENA Transportation Company. The problem was about the available capacity of the trailer in Iran. Their capacities were equal to 300 ton. The Goldhofer company (the trailer manufacturer) announced that transportation would be impossible unless the new type is used. Pars Padir Consulting Engineers provided support to spread the load on the trailer based on their technical specification and analysis of their structure and springs. The job was successfully carried out and Goldhofer featured it as news on their website, announcing that they would modify their design procedure.
The 1000-ton VESSEL shall be placed on top of the bogie from the JUMBO ship, using two heavy-duty 800-ton cranes.
The bogie shall carry the vessel to the expected location.
The vessel shall be erected on top of saddles, which are located on top of the foundation.
Saddles were designed for this purpose.
Type of order: Full scope of structural design and analysis of trailer – spread force supports and saddles
