Self-Propelled Transporter

Heavy-duty trolley systems for safe, precise boat transport and positioning within shipyards and marinas. Configurable to match layouts, travel paths, and load requirements.
Self-Propelled Transporter

HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORT, TOTAL CONTROL

Cimolai Technology’s Flat Bed Trolley is built to transport large structures and heavy components within construction sites, industrial facilities, and port areas, combining robust performance with maximum operational flexibility.
Each unit is fully customizable in load capacity, configuration, and accessories. Its modular design suits different load shapes and weights, with an optional SPMT configuration for greater mobility and positioning precision. A user-friendly interface—also available via remote control—and multi-axle electronic steering ensure smooth, accurate maneuvering even in tight spaces.

Self-Propelled Transporter Key Features

PLATFORM

The platform is completely covered with electro-welded steel plates. Removable steel covers are bolted in correspondence of each suspension to facilitate the inspection of the components underneath.

RUBBER TIRES

Suitable for heavy-duty work conditions. They can be either air inflated or foam filled.

MODULAR CONCEPT

Additional modules and power units can be added / combined to increase the number of axles and the total capacity of the system. Modularity is achieved by adding modules / units either at the front, on the rear or on the sides.

Structure

100% manufactured in Cimolai Technology’s workshops in Italy, steel plates come exclusively from primary European Companies. The structure is designed as per the latest FEM and UNI EN standards and is made of box girders with inner stiffening elements, optimizing the structural resistance.

HYDRAULIC SUSPENSION

Adjustment of the platform height achieved via the vertical stroke of the cylinders or the compass-type hydraulic suspensions. Independent front / rear – left / right hydraulic lifting is allowed. The system is used both to lift the load and also to cope with uneven surfaces / slopes, guaranteeing a uniform distribution of the loads on the ground. The hydraulic suspension system is provided with safety valves acting independently and automatically in case of pipe ruptures

Optional

CAPACITY PER AXLE
Axlescan be equipped with various tires to achieve different axles capacity (along a general line 40, 48 or 60 tons - with additional special bogie).
COUPLING ELEMENTS
Wide range of accessories allowing for the mechanical connection of different FBT platforms to increase the carrying surface. Kits of electric and hydraulic accessories are also available to combine sets of trolleys.
BOLSTERS
Swivelbolsters to allow the transport of self- supporting long loads.
SPACERS
Varioustypes of spacers are available to stiffly connect the FBT trolleys.
TRESTLES – CRADLES

Awide range of cradles and mechanical, hydraulic and modular trestles can be supplied. They are developed as per customer’s specific requirements. They hold and stabilize the load and make the various operations faster and safer.
