Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
GTE logistics successfully transported a universal milling machine measuring 540 x 417 x 415cm and weighing 32 tons from Germany to our client's warehouse in St. Petersburg. The day before the scheduled start of transportation, it was discovered that a construction site had been set up for bridge reconstruction along our intended route through Germany potentially threatening our haulage project. Our oversize cargo would possibly be blocked due to its size.
GTE Logistics entered into negotiations with the construction company overseeing the bridge reconstruction. We successfully reached an agreement to dismantle the site for a day allowing the through-passage of our hauling rig. We selected a low-loader with air suspension to transport the milling machine from Germany: precision machinery requires careful handling.
GTE Logistics specialists obtained approval and filed for all the necessary permits to transport oversize cargo through Germany to the port of loading. The oversize cargo was transported under police escort with escort vehicles. The transit time to the port of Luebeck totalled three days.
The cargo was then transported on MAFI roll-trailers by ferry to St. Petersburg to the Port of Bronka. After completing the necessary customs clearance procedures in the port, the oversize cargo was transferred to a lorry and delivered to the consignee's warehouse on a special rig with rear-wheel steering because of the difficult entry onto the warehouse territory. The cargo was also safeguarded by a convoy of escort vehicles and the police.
