Project 1: 160 BESS Units
Project 2: 168 BESS Units
Unit weight: 36.5 tonnes, plus flat rack base
The client was developing two wind farms at separate regional Victorian locations, approximately 2 hours from Melbourne CBD. L.Arthur was engaged to coordinate and manage the complex transport logistics, delivering a safe, efficient and reliable solution across both projects.
BESS units arrived on Flat Racks and required collection from the wharf under hook.
Shipments arrived on a consecutive weekly basis, with 20–40 units per shipment, requiring careful coordination of wharf collections, specialised equipment, drivers and delivery schedules.
L.Arthur successfully coordinated convoys of 10–12 deliveries per day, maintaining a consistent delivery program through to the completion of both projects.
Specialised lifting capability: Reach stackers fitted with crane configuration, enabling six-point lifts for the safe handling of the BESS units on flat racks.
Dangerous goods expertise: Bulk DG-licensed drivers and DG-approved prime movers and trailers to meet the project’s transport requirements.
Complex site access management: Experienced multi-combination drivers executed difficult reverse-in manoeuvres along unsealed dirt access roads, where trailers could not be dropped, requiring precision, experience and careful coordination.
