Transformers Traverse Venezuelan Jungle

Venezuelan freight forwarder Totalviax has handled the maritime shipping and inland road movement of two transformers and associated equipment from India to Venezuela.

The transformers were manufactured by India’s Crompton Graves for Venezuelan utility Elecnor & National Electric Company. Each unit weighed 120 tons.

Totalviax collaborated with Spanish partner the Sparber Group for the transport from India to the port of Guanta.

The job included difficult movements on low-loaders across jungle terrain, according to Alfredo Sanchez, director for Totalviax. Special low boys were used for the inland shipping. The transformers went by road to the substation Juana la Avanzadora in Maturin, a distance of 150 kilometers.
