Any load
Long, heavy and indivisible
Rotor blades, fuselage sections, rail vehicles, steel structures: each held in a frame made for it.
Real imageElectric Self-Propelled Transporters · AIL and Work Trucks
Gempol Electric Self-Propelled Transporters for abnormal indivisible loads.
Remote-controlled or autonomous electric self-propelled transporters for long, heavy, single-piece loads, built to order and run singly or as a fleet. They carry whatever is fixed to the deck, or become the base for a machine. Those already working move rotor blades over 90 metres long, payloads of 40 tonnes and more, and long composite components between buildings.
- 90 m+
- Rotor blades moved by the BTT20.
- 40 t+
- BTT20 payload, and heavier to order.
- 100 m · 25 t
- Long components moved by the transfer system as built.
- Built to order
- Length, payload and layout are set by each order.

Sector-agnostic
Proven on blades. Ready for any load.
The same platform serves a blade factory, a hangar, a rail yard or a field. What is fixed to the deck sets the job: a frame for the load, or a machine that works wherever the truck takes it.
Any fixture
Made around the load
Frames, cradles and twistlock fittings designed for the load and locked to the deck.
Any machine
Combined with equipment
A robot arm, an implement or a process machine mounted on the deck and carried to where the work is.
Blade transfer trucks
BTT12 and BTT20.
Two standard models for moving rotor blades through production, storage and the yard. The BTT20 is the new generation, built for the largest onshore blades. Anything larger or different is built to order.
Real imageWhat is new in the BTT20
- Payload capacity raised to 40 tonnes
- New-generation BPM wheel drives, with 70% more traction power
- Strengthened chassis and upgraded body components
- Better manoeuvrability in tight areas
- Enhanced remote control features
- 30% longer operation from new lithium batteries
Load securing
Locked to the deck.
The blade travels in a frame locked to the deck through twistlocks, the same fittings that hold a shipping container in place.

Size adjustable
Twistlock fixing that adjusts to the frame, so one truck can take different blade sizes.
Fixing
Custom design
Twistlock fixing designed around a specific blade and its frame.
Parking
Parking stands
Stands for parking the truck. They are for the unloaded condition only.
Long component transfer
Shear webs and CABS, between buildings.
Shear webs and CABS (composite airfoil blade support profiles) are long and delicate, and need precise handling. The long component transfer system carries them from one building to the next on wagons made for the component, fitting smoothly into the production line.

Operation
Remote-controlled, autonomous, or a whole fleet.
Every truck starts from the same electric platform and grows with the operation. It can begin as one remote-controlled machine and become a fleet of autonomous trucks working together, with capacity and range extended as the work demands.
Real imageFully electric, regenerative braking
Battery powered throughout, with zero exhaust emissions inside the facility or out in the yard. Regenerative braking returns energy to the battery every time the truck slows.
Remote-controlled or autonomous
Driven from a purpose-designed remote, with the operator standing where the clearances are, or built to run autonomously. Either way the load moves with precision, even in confined spaces.
Run as a fleet
Several trucks work to one plan. They share a single long load between them, or each covers its own route across the site.
Open to development
Payload capacity, battery capacity and operating time, size and features can all be extended. Each is developed with the people who will run the trucks.

Manoeuvres
What the platform does, drawn at the size it happens.
Each of these is a geometry problem that shapes how a site is laid out. Turning on the spot, rounding a tight corner, and two trucks carrying one load between them.

More applications
The same platform, built for other work.
Each of these can be built on the same electric platform. A pair under an aircraft fuselage, a deck on rail, a robot arm carried to the job, an implement working a field. Tell us the application and we will build the truck around it.

Next step
Tell us the load.
Its length and weight, the route between buildings and how often it has to run. Every truck is built to order, so the load sets the size.
