New SPMT guidelines aim to boost safety

Concerns regarding accidents with self propelled modular transporter (SPMT) were expressed at KHL’s World Crane and Transport Summit in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, back in 2011.

At the conference a number of speakers pointed out that some SPMT loads were tipping over, even though the existing operating rules and stability calculations had been precisely followed. Clients were asking what the industry was going to do about the problem.
