Transporter Vehicles (150T+ Capacity) Operator & Technician Training

Offered by Pertecnica Engineering

Transporter vehicles with capacities of 150 tons and above are heavy-duty industrial vehicles used for moving extremely large and heavy components in shipyards, heavy engineering plants, ports, and construction sites. These vehicles include self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) and hydraulic multi-axle trailers capable of precise maneuvering of oversized loads such as ship blocks, modules, heavy machinery, and structural assemblies.

In modern industry, 150T+ transporters ensure safe, efficient, and controlled movement of massive loads, reducing handling risks and optimizing workflow. Skilled operators and technicians are essential for load planning, vehicle operation, and preventive maintenance. This training program focuses on practical, hands-on skills for transporter vehicle operations and maintenance.
