AFTER a long and tough commissioning, with full positive results, a Davi 4,000 x 255mm, claimed to be the heaviest 4-roll ever built, has been completely dismounted and loaded onto 17 trucks, to be delivered to its new home, at the buyer’s site. Company president Orazio Davi commented, “The front and rear frames as well as rolls of this machine are the heaviest parts of this plate roll, made in high tensile material, to resist to the high load of 6,500 tons available to roll the heavy plates the machine has been purchased for. They are so oversized (large and heavy) to require the transport with very special trucks, one for each of these components, due to the weight of more than 80 tons each.” A team of highly professional riggers ensured the load of all 17 trucks required to transport the entire machine, nine of which were special oversized trucks, making it possible to arrive at the final destination without delays. The customer, one of the largest Russian manufacturers of heavy fabrication, is keen to put the machine into operation, to start production of heavy-duty vessels for the nuclear industry and offshore components.
