TOYOTA Project: Transporting a 213-Tonne Automated Production System to Sakarya, Türkiye

For the expansion of production capacity at TOYOTA TÜRKİYE, ACL managed the complete transport of a large injection-moulding system, including a linear robot and integrated automation and conveyor equipment.

The complete system had a gross weight of approximately 213 tonnes and was divided across 16 truckloads. The project required precise coordination of four special transports and 12 standard curtain-side trailers.
