Cargo
Transporting turbine components
Gas and steam turbines, turbine casings and rotors are heavy, precision-made and expensive. They travel in the manufacturer's transport frames or cradles, often between factory, port and power plant or to an overhaul.
What matters
- Transport frames
- Rotors and casings rest on frames or cradles that are part of the planning.
- Sensitivity
- Precision surfaces and blades are protected; avoid shocks.
- Overhauls
- Parts travel to overhaul and back – with the plant outage dates.
- Port handling
- Often part of a chain with sea or inland vessel.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Which component, with which frame?
- Weight and dimensions including the frame?
- Are there manufacturer requirements on support and acceleration?
- Is it going to a port or directly to the plant?
- Is there an outage date?
What we need from you
- Dimensions and weight including frame
- Route or handling points
- Time window
- Manufacturer requirements
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
- Coordination of permits, escort vehicles, route surveys and lifting equipment via partners
- Quote with the agreed scope once the transport can be planned
Good to know
With sea transport we plan the legs to and from the port – which sections we organise is clearly stated in the quote.
How it works
- 01
Request
You state the cargo, dimensions and weight per piece with units, rough route and time window – marking anything unknown.
- 02
Review
We check dimensions, weight and requirements and clarify route, permit and lifting.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Road transport after permit, handover at plant, factory or port.
Questions and answers: Turbine components
How is a turbine rotor transported?
On the manufacturer's transport frame or cradle, secured to its specification.
Does Logisticoo also handle port operations?
Road transport is our core. Which further legs we organise is decided per project.
Can parts be transported to overhaul and back?
Yes, outbound and return are planned towards the outage dates.
