Bellville Rodair Energy Team (BRET) is currently working on several future projects that can only be shipped using tower adapters, due to the very tight road turns that the tower sections must take in order to reach their final site.

As an alternative to drop deck and vessel deck trailers, recently some truck producers have designed tower adapters that are coupled directly to the tower sections. Thus, the truck has no need for deck at all, with the tower section acting as a connecting beam between the truck modules. The tower adapters in turn are coupled to the truck’s heavy-duty modules (for the return trip, the two tower adapters are bolted together to form a multi-axle unit).

The Global Project Logistics Network (GPLN) is the premier non-exclusive professional projects logistics network of independent companies specializing in international projects movements by air, sea and land as well as specialized lifts and the special handling of oversized, out-of-gauge and heavy lift cargo.
