Full-service by SOMA: Secure machine transport, logistics, and professional commissioning
Transporting an industrial plant is much more than just travelling from A to B. Large dimensions, sensitive equipment, international routes, strict time frames and complex assembly processes make every delivery a highly demanding project. SOMA masters this complexity, from precise planning and safe transport to commissioning on site.
Machine transport, a logistical speciality
Industrial plants are among the most challenging goods to transport. High weights, customised components, sensitive control technology and international border crossings require maximum care in preparation and execution.
Logistics in detail: Where precision is crucial
- Dimensions & weights: special transports, axle loads, route licences
- International authorisations: different country regulations, customs and handling processes
- Loading processes: coordination of cranes, forklifts, load distribution plans and securing systems
- Transport-sensitive components: sensors, testing technology, electronic assemblies
- Time-critical coordination: tight unloading windows, synchronised customer deadlines
- Risk and damage prevention: packaging concepts, weather protection, accident prevention
What looks like a simple transport from the outside is actually a highly precise, technical process and this is precisely where SOMA's strength lies.
Example Serbia: Eight 40-tonne trucks, five countries, 48 hours – delivered right on time
A current project shows just how complex and demanding such processes are: the delivery of a large-volume SOMA system to Pančevo, Serbia.
- 8 lorries in the 40-tonne segment
- 9 hours loading time
- Transport via Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Serbia
- 48 hours of non-stop coordination until arrival at the customer's site
This project is an example of how SOMA not only designs, develops, builds and delivers machines, but also offers a comprehensive end-to-end logistics concept that works internationally.
On site: Installation & commissioning by SOMA
After a safe arrival, the crucial next step begins: professional installation and commissioning. Our teams of experts provide support:
- Unloading & positioning of the system components
- Mechanical assembly
- Electrical installation and cabling
- Software setup, parameterisation and test runs
- Initial production, fine tuning and quality assurance
- Training of the operating personnel
In this way, SOMA ensures that every system starts up stably, reliably and productively at its destination.
