 Mammoet SPMTs offer the
following advantages:
FLEXIBLE AND AGILE 1

SPMTs offer a wide range of movement options. They are

capable of steering 360 degrees and each axle can move
independently. This enables them to carrousel and move
sideways. They can also be used to transport objects
forward, backward or at an angle. In addition, specialized
programs ensure that loads can be transported and placed
with millimeter precision, making them ideally suited for
LOW GROUND BEARING PRESSURE 7 use on congested or restricted sites.

All of Mammoet’s SPMTs have been equipped with air-filled

tires, which have a lower ground bearing pressure than
foam filled ones. Working with these tires reduces the need
for additional ground reinforcement and insures that the
working surface does not get damaged.

MINIMUM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 6

All of Mammoet’s SPMTs have been equipped with features

that help minimize impact on the environment. Regular
SPMTs are equipped with an on-off cooling system.
Mammoet’s SPMTs have an advanced Bodas system that
monitors the engine temperature and provides the exact
amount of cooling the system needs. They have also been
equipped with a start-stop system that reduces the amount
of fuel used while remaining stationary. During maintenance,
the oil is filtered and, if it still meets quality standards, is
re-used. The fuel can be combined with AdBlue to reduce
the level of oxides of nitrogen emitted from engines.

 2 CAN TRANSPORT ALMOST ANY OBJECT

SPMTs are modular; a grid of axles is fitted with an engine

and steering system controlled by a single operator. The grid
can be mechanically coupled in a line, side-to-side and/or
head-to-tail or they can be grouped freely by data link. This
flexible system provides an efficient solution for each project
while ensuring a high level of safety at all times.

3 OPERATIONAL UNDER THE MOST

EXTREME CONDITIONS

Some of Mammoet’s SPMTs are specially adapted for

extreme conditions. Features such as a spine beam - made
of high-grade steel - cold adapted rubber, special hydraulic
additives and/or an auxiliary heating unit, allow them to work
at full payload up to -40 degrees Celsius. Mammoet also
has SPMTs that have been equipped with a special cooling
system that allows them to remain operational for extended
periods of time in extreme heat.

4 EASY AND SWIFT MOBILIZATION

Due to their compact size, SPMTs are easily transported and

mobilized. They have the same width as a standard-sized
shipping container, allowing them to be transported on flat
racks. This means they can be shipped in the fastest and
most cost-effective way to virtually any location.

5 MULTI-SYSTEM COMPATIBLE

Mammoet’s SPMTs can be combined with other Mammoet

systems to open up an even wider range of movement
options. They can be combined, for example, with
Mammoet’s jacking system to move objects vertically.
Equipped with a special frame, SPMTs can also be used for
tailing operations alongside cranes and gantries.

SPMT INNOVATIONS
Increasing efficiency while making transport safer.
Discover how Mammoet’s latest SPMT innovations
can optimize your transportation projects.

DYNAMIC STABILITY
In recent years, loads have increased in size and weight.
Simultaneously, the axle load capacity of trailers has increased. This
increase in scale makes it vital to have exact transport engineering
calculations. With this in mind, Mammoet developed a Dynamic
Stability Verification Program - a calculation method that
incorporates the effects of multiple dynamic forces such as wind
and acceleration. This program ensures a higher level of safety and
provides clients and operators with more detailed information about
their projects. It also helps with the design of more efficient MAMMOET’S ADJUSTABLE
transport approaches. Dynamic Stability was developed in-house WIDENING SYSTEM
and has been verified and approved by classification society DNV. In heavy transport, high and wide loads
with a high center of gravity – such as
More information: large pipe rack modules – are typically
www.mammoet.com/dynamicstability transported on multiple rows of SPMTs
to enhance safety and stability. In many
cases, the increased load capacity that
comes with the additional trailer units is
not required. This is where Mammoet’s
Split SPMTs can offer advantages. Bolted
together, the SPMT can be used as a
regular 6-axle line SPMT. Extended, the
SPMT offers the same amount of capacity
with twice the breadth - increasing the
width of the loading platform and the
stability of the load, without the need to
add more SPMT trailer units. This makes
transporting such loads significantly
more cost-effective. Mammoet obtained
patents for the adjustable widening system:
US Patent 9,834,263 and CA Patent
2,931,423.

 CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
Our SPMTs can be equipped with one of our customized solutions,
such as our jacking crate system. By alternating the use of a
trolley and a lifting arm to stack both the foundation crates and the
support crates, this system reduces the need for manual handling.
The system makes jacking operations safer, and makes it easier to
conduct jacking operations in cold environments.

REDUCING IDLING
Mammoet’s SPMTs can be equiped with
auxiliary power pack units (APU) when
working in extreme cold temperatures.
APUs not only reduce fuel consumption,
they also reduce the waste of oil,
lubricants and cooling fluids and they
maintain a good working temperature for
the hydraulics, electronics and batteries.
