In the world of heavy transport, precision, safety, and reliability aren’t optional — they’re essential. That’s why at Global Rigging & Transport (GRT), we rely on Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMT's) to handle the world’s heaviest and most complex loads.
Whether it's moving ship-to-shore cranes, mining equipment, or large industrial modules, GRT’s SPMT fleet provides the flexibility and capacity required for the most demanding operations.
What Are SPMT's?
SPMTs are multi-axle platforms with their own propulsion systems, capable of moving massive structures without the need for external towing. Each axle line can rotate independently, allowing for exceptional manoeuvrability, even in confined areas or over uneven terrain. When configured together, they form a powerful and scalable solution that can handle thousands of tonnes with millimetre-level accuracy.
Why GRT Uses SPMT's
At GRT, we use SPMTs because they allow us to:
Reduce downtime by performing complex moves efficiently and safely
Minimise risk through computer-controlled steering and synchronised axle movement
Adapt on-site to changing ground conditions and clearance restrictions
Deliver turnkey results across industries like marine, energy, infrastructure, and mining
Whether the project is on a port, in a refinery, or at a remote wind farm, our team of engineers and operators plan every SPMT move to the last detail — ensuring each job is delivered on time.
Our experience spans North America and beyond, bringing together international expertise and local delivery.
When You Need Strength and Precision
Heavy transport is more than moving big things. It’s about delivering engineered solutions where failure isn’t an option. At GRT, SPMT's are just one of the many tools we use to make the impossible possible.
