ALTERNATOR TRANSPORT SOLUTION
High-value assets are crucial for mining companies, allowing equipment to operate and downtime to be minimised by having spares available for transport at short notice. The process of transporting alternators off-site for repair work was made difficult and inefficient without the right transport solution. As DAYWALK has been developing solutions for mining for many years, our team recommended a customised frame (based on a standard design) to offer optimum protection from vibrations, component damage, the weather and handling difficulties.
DAYWALK delivered a custom-engineered 42T crane-liftable TRANSPORTA, designed explicitly for alternator transport, to meet transport and safety requirements. The unit was fully certified, compliant with HVNL and Schedule 7, and tailored to the alternator’s dimensions and handling needs.
This Transporta customisation featured:
- Certified & compliant with HVNL + Schedule 7
- Crane-liftable (proof loaded to 42T)
- Vibration dampening mounts
- Specialised locking system for safety
- Personnel access grid mesh
- Spreader beam mount with outriggers
- Alternator restraint system (8x M30x180mm bolts)
- Multiple lifting and lashing points (crane lugs, Arresta lugs, roof lugs, tyne pockets)
- QR-coded certification plates for guidance
- Dimensions: 5863mm (L) × 3307mm (W) × 3233mm (H)

WHY a custom 42T crane-liftable TRANSPORTA?
Certified Safety & Compliance
The TRANSPORTA was proof-loaded to 42T and met all transport regulations, ensuring peace of mind during crane lifts and road transport.
Enhanced Asset Protection
Vibration dampening mounts and a specialised locking system safeguarded the alternator from damage, even in the unlikely event of mount failure.
Streamlined Operations
Features like grid mesh for personnel access, QR-coded certification plates, and integrated restraint systems streamlined handling and reduced downtime.
