Mammoet adds Cometto Eco500 transporters to fleet

Mammoet has expanded its electric-powered transport fleet with the addition of two Eco500 units from Cometto. The compact, self-propelled vehicles are designed for use in confined spaces and emission-sensitive environments, such as indoor facilities or densely built industrial sites.

The new Eco500 units will help Mammoet carry out low-noise, emission-free transport in confined and indoor environments.

The Eco500 features an integrated power pack and Cometto’s patented pendulum suspension, allowing it to maneuver heavy loads in areas where traditional trailers are too large. The transporter can be configured with two, three or four axles, or combined into setups with capacities ranging from 67 to 274 tonnes. It includes a lifting system for jacking loads and is operated via remote control. When lowered, it has a height of just 670 mm.

“We continually strive to make heavy lift and transport projects safer, efficient and more sustainable for our customers,” said Ludo Mous, global asset director SPMT, Mammoet. “This is made possible by us developing and investing in new and innovative technologies. The Eco500 is compact, electric and its lifting system is the same as existing transport equipment – making it a great addition to our fleet.”

The new units support Mammoet’s goal of providing zero-emissions site operations, joining other electric equipment such as SPMTs, skidding systems and cranes. The Eco500s are now in service as part of Mammoet’s fleet.
