Heavyweight single piece into 747F?
Just a quick question, I think CR2 have an answer for it... Would CV or SQ accept a single piece which is 11.0x1.8x1.8 meters @ 23 tones for carriage on their 747 freighter? Does it need special loading equipment?

No problem! About half the max weight I've done.
Get a hold of a technical drawing for the machine first, in order to determine the spreading/tie-down points. Dunno what SQ do, though we refuse anything in a box/crate thats heavier than 12T.
Probably need a crane for palletizing. Bolt two 20ft pallets together on the highloaders, add spreading, lift piece onto pallets, drive into a/c.
Piece of p*55
email me if you need more

Good point Clown....
Its embarrassing when one flies a large lump half-way around the world, only to find that once you get there, you can't offload it. Mangagement don't like that.
As for SQ not accepting heavier than 25T, good news. Their loss, our gain. Max we've done at CLX is 42T, gave me a few sleepless nights, but all went well.

Another small point if you couple 2 pallets together particularly fore and aft then as well as spreaders you will need additional restraint fore and aft as the forward pallets lock 9g load may be insufficient.
