Transport specialist Baumann has invested in Cometto self propelled modular transporter (SPMT) axle lines.

In mid-October representatives from the German company travelled to the Cometto factory in Italy. They inspected the 24 axle lines of equipment they had ordered which, in addition to the 48T series of SPMT, included two power pack units.

Baumann has worked in heavy transport for more than 130 years. It has sites in Bornheim, Dormagen and Neuss. There are 140 employees, a fleet of 130 towed axle lines and nearly 30 mobile cranes. Loads weighing as much as 1,000 tonnes have been moved by the German specialist.
