SOLUTION
DAYWALK’S Custom Bogie Frames, Covers, & Preservation
Daywalk conducted an onsite audit and measurement to assess the requirements for a tailored transport and preservation solution. After evaluating the scope, a detailed proposal was developed that included the following frame and accessories:
WHY DAYWALK ?
Customised Transport Frame
Three specialised custom frames designed for 17.5T bogies, featuring fixed wheel supports lined with load restraint rubber and certified vehicle restraint points for secure lashing. The frame included forklift pockets for tare lift handling and crane handling specifications for safe transport.
Heavy-Duty Covers
Three clamshell covers made from 900gsm material for full encapsulation and protection. These covers featured heavy-duty zips, weather flaps, and multiple access points for ease of use. Internal load restraint rubber was included to secure the bogies within the covers, ensuring additional protection during transportation.
Preservation and Guidance Tools
eVCIs and desiccants were integrated into the cover for moisture control. QR codes were attached to the transport frame and covers, linking to user guides, outdoor preservation guidelines, and truck lashing/crane lifting instructions.
1.67m Gauge Bogie sets without durable frames or any protection from environmental damage.

RESULT
Design, Logistics Engineering, Manufacture, & Project Management.
The collaborative efforts resulted in the successful delivery of a robust transportation and preservation solution. The specialized frames and heavy-duty covers effectively protected the bogies from environmental factors and ensured safe transportation, in compliance with all certification requirements.
This innovative approach not only addressed the immediate need for safe transport but also set a new standard for long-term storage solutions in the industry. The BHP project can now confidently move forward, knowing that their valuable bogie sets are securely housed and protected, ultimately leading to improved project timelines and reduced operational risks. The interactive user guides and QR code integrations further enhanced the ease of use, providing ongoing support for handling and maintenance.
