Transformer Unloading & Site Shifting
Unloading, dragging and foundation placement of power transformers from 50 MVA to 510 MVA — including movement through live substations and plant infrastructure.
Overview
IPN LIFTERS handles power transformers from 50 MVA distribution units up to 510 MVA grid-class machines — among the heaviest single-piece loads moved in Eastern India. Our crews unload transformers from multi-axle trailers and rail sidings, then drag and shift them along prepared roller tracks to their foundation bays — including routes that pass through live electrical installations, narrow substation corridors and operating plant infrastructure. We work to the OEM's handling instructions and have executed transformer operations for L&T, NTPC, Toshiba and Skipper. Jacking, packing and roller-track inching bring each unit to its final position on the foundation pad.
