DAKO continues to support Germany’s energy transition

DAKO Worldwide Transport GmbH recently completed the transport of four transformers from Hungary to a substation in Nauen, Germany.

Each transformer weighed 67 tonnes and measured 7.90 × 2.70 × 3.90 metres.

This operation involved specialised multi-axle lowbed trailers to carry the heavy loads, followed by crane-assisted handling at the destination for the foundation setting. Prior to the delivery of the units, our in-house engineering team visited the jobsite and supported the project with transport simulations and technical drawings to ensure the smooth entry and maneuvering of the 35-meter-long trailer configurations. As a result, every step of the operation required careful pre-planning, precise route guidance, and close coordination to ensure safe and efficient execution.

With more renewable energy being generated across Germany, projects like this are an important part of developing the electrical grid needed to support it.
