In transportation, heavy lift refers to the handling and installation of heavy items which are indivisible, and of weights generally accepted to be over 100 tons and of widths/heights of more than 100 meters. These oversized items are transported from one place to another (sometimes across country borders), then lifted or installed into place. Characteristic for heavy-lift goods is the absence of standardization, which requires individual transport planning.
8-556: The Airbus Helicopters X6 is a design concept for a 19-seat twin-engined heavy lift helicopter to replace the Airbus Helicopters H225 . Development was stopped in early 2018. In June 2015, Airbus Helicopters announced the start of a two-year concept development phase including a customer advisory panel: it will be targeted at the commercial transport market, the oil and gas industry work and for search and rescue work, aiming for entry into service around 2022-23. In June 2017,
16-493: A Polish factory. This was done due to scarcity of time in the COVID-19 pandemic . Largest Cargo Planes Sea transport is the preferred mode of transport for long distance due to large space and low cost when compared to air transport, but this mode of transport requires more planning and the transport itself takes long time. Loads are carried to the port via road transport, later cranes and gantry are used to place loads onto or into
24-454: Is carried out from or to manufacturing plants or factories. Heavy Lift Road Equipment. Heavy lift transport of project cargo is done using cargo planes , which are one of the largest aircraft due to the size of the load these loads are carried to or from airports via road transport. In 2021 Gebrüder Weiss a logistics company chartered an Antonov An-225 Mriya world's largest cargo plane to transport project cargo from China to Poland for
32-472: The European Commission approved €377 million ($ 420 million) of repayable state aid , due to be paid back over eight years : €330 million from France and €47.25 million from Germany. It would be the first Airbus commercial helicopter controlled by fly-by-wire and should offer lower noise and a 15-20% reductions in fuel burn and direct operating costs compared to current aircraft. The Safran Aneto
40-523: The North Sea oilfield, its primary market, continuing to be depleted and the oil price presently too low to finance new operations. Heavy lift Mode Of Transport Typical heavy-lift cargo includes generators, turbines, reactors, boilers, towers, casting, heaters, presses, locomotives, boats, satellites, military personnel and equipment. In the offshore industry, parts of oil rigs and production platforms are also lifted; some of these are also removed at
48-649: The end of an installation's working life. Recent notable lifts have included several of >2000 metric tons in the de-commissioning of the North West Hutton oil field in the British sector of the North Sea . Typical cargo consist of Road transport of heavy and oversized load is called heavy haulage specialized equipment is used to haul these load, which are only employed for heavy-duty work. This type of transport requires route planning and escort vehicles. Road transport
56-417: The vessels. Heavy Lift Sea Equipment. For land transport, rail transport is also considered as an option for hauling heavy lift cargo over road transport due to advantages of higher speeds, bulk transportation and lower cost compared to road transport. Companies have managed to haul cargos over 250 tons and 30 meters long, and some have also started moves longer cargos like windmill blades . Disadvantage to
64-510: Was proposed to power the 11 t class helicopter. In January 2018, its development was suspended as it is lacking disruptive fly-by-wire and engine suppliers, and while the military and parapublic H225 market stayed strong in 2017 with 44 orders, the offshore oil and gas market shrank; the €377 million French and German refundable launch aid is not yet allocated but could be used if the X6 is launched. The offshore oil and gas market continued to shrink with
