180-ton car pressing machine delayed by storm

Kuebler Spedition in Germany has transported a 180-ton pressing machine for a car factory in Sindelfingen.

Due to the size of the load,special permits were obtained to allow the heavy duty vehicles to move backwards on German motorways for certain distances to avoid blocking traffic, Cargo Equipment Experts said in a statement on  behalf of its member Kuebler Spedition.

After a year of planning, the move began but  was interrupted by a blizzard, bringing about two inches of snow in just 10 minutes. The transport was delayed on the motorway for a full day. As night fell, Kuebler was able to continue to its destination.
