How are large transformers transported?

    Because of the size and weight of large transformers, it is very difficult to move these behemoths from the manufacturing plant to the equipment site. The transport of large transformers is usually by rail, road or water and is usually based on the weight and standard of the equipment. The third main transformer of the project is 6.25 meters high and weighs 345 tons. It will take a 27-meter long delivery vehicle to complete the transfer. Because of the transformer's incredible weight, transport vehicles can only travel at their allotted speed of 3 kilometers per hour, about as fast as people can walk. As a result, the 31-kilometer journey from Xuyi port in Nanjing to the Nanjing substation takes seven hours. Over 180 stops at 31 km, six stone bridges to jump over... to ensure the safe transport of these behemoths, the grid company has set up a system of transportation guarantees, and the United Transport, road, transportation companies and other parts and units, to eliminate the line stop, dealing with roads, bridges and other weak links, to ensure transformer transport safety.
