Frequently Asked Questions
A Self-Propelled Shipyard Transporter (SPET) is a heavy-duty, modular transport solution designed for moving extremely large and heavy loads within shipyards, ports, and heavy industrial facilities. With its self-propelled drive system and high load capacity, SPET enables controlled, flexible, and safe transportation of ship blocks, large steel structures, and industrial modules without the need for cranes or external towing systems. It is especially suitable for operations requiring precise positioning and high operational reliability in harsh yard conditions.
FADA SPET systems are engineered with load capacities ranging from 100 tons up to 400 tons, depending on project requirements. These transporters can be equipped with high-efficiency AC, PMAC, or diesel drive systems and powered by lithium battery or diesel units. SPETs offer multi-directional movement, including 360-degree rotation, enabling precise maneuvering in confined shipyard areas. Control options include operator cabin control or advanced remote-control systems, supported by integrated safety features such as dynamic stability monitoring, LED warning systems, and protective railings.
SPET solutions deliver significant advantages in shipbuilding and shipyard operations, as well as in energy, petrochemical, offshore, and heavy steel construction projects. Typical applications include the transportation of ship blocks, offshore modules, bridge segments, large industrial equipment, and prefabricated structures. Thanks to their modular design and high maneuverability, SPET systems allow large components to be transported as a single unit, reducing handling steps, improving safety, and increasing overall operational efficiency.
