SIEMPELKAMP CLOSED-DIE FORGES

UTC Overseas handled transport and delivery of two closed-die forges from Europe to China for German manufacturer Siempelkamp Maschinen und Anlagenbau. One is the largest ever built by the firm at over 30M/98’ high and weighing over 7,900 MT/8,700 T. It can exert 50,000 MT of force

to create complex shapes in aluminum and titanium alloys for the aircraft industry. The move included 53 major pieces ranging from 50+ to nearly 300 MT, plus over 300 TEUs of supporting

equipment weighing over 1,800 MT. The presses will be used by Nanshan Aluminum.

(Top L: 22-axle SPMT and steel plates helped protect the pier during offloading of the heaviest units. Top R: 26-meter steel beams on an 18-axle SPMT safely spread the weight while crossing a 300M-long

bridge near the plant in snowy weather. Lower: Units are staged outside the plant and then positioned inside by SPMT for the final assembly process)
