Case Study: 113 Metric Ton Rotor Shaft safely delivered through the Alps with OIA Global

Moving renewable energy cargo through narrow mountains

The vendor OIA Global assisted a customer with the transport of a 113 metric ton rotor shaft. The challenge involved moving this oversized cargo from a factory in Switzerland through narrow mountain passes to a hydropower site in northern Italy, a task complicated by differing convoy transportation regulations between the two countries.

OIA Global's solution included meticulous route planning, securing permits, and deploying specialized heavy-lift equipment and convoys. This resulted in the rotor shaft being delivered safely without any incidents, aided by proactive route surveys and coordination with authorities. The vendor's expertise in project logistics ensured the successful completion of this complex international shipment.
