Navantia UK to use two KAMAG IHTs
As a part of a major modernisation programme, Harland & Wolff Belfast, part of Navantia UK, has agreed to purchase two Industrial Heavy Transporters (IHT) from TII KAMAG.
The vehicles will be essential to modernising the internal logistics operation and will support Navantia UK as it accelerates its upgrade of its Harland & Wolff shipyard. The new KAMAG IHTs are the first two operational machines delivered to support the Fleet Solid Support (FSS) contract, awarded to Navantia UK by UK’s Ministry of Defence.
“The new KAMAG IHTs will help us further optimise our production processes,” said Ian Agnew, FSS Procurement Officer at Navantia UK. “We were looking for a transport solution that was not only reliable and efficient but could also be flexibly integrated into our processes. The decision in favour of TII KAMAG was an easy one – the technology is excellent, and our collaboration has always been underpinned by genuine trust.
The demands placed on internal transport activities in the shipbuilding industry remain high. Large components, tight space conditions and a high cycle rate, require a robust, flexible and reliable solution. The IHT’s are a part of a sustainable and lasting solution.
Harland & Wolff has a long history of partnership with TII group, having previously purchased SCHEUERLE Shipyard Transporters. The addition of the two KAMAG IHTs is a positive step in what is already a successful partnership, further supporting the development of Harland & Wolff’s shipyard logistics.
