30 Second Takeaway

Concord Road Transport LLC has completed the safe delivery of a 48” Class 1500 ball valve with pneumatic actuator, moving the high-value, complex load from the manufacturing yard to the project site using a Volvo 440 prime mover and Goldhofer STZ-VP transport solution. The move highlights Concord’s ability to plan and execute technically demanding transports while maintaining a strong focus on safety, commitment, and teamwork.

Complex Valve Transport Completed from Yard to Site

From the manufacturing yard to the final project location, Concord Road Transport LLC successfully executed the transport of a 48-inch Class 1500 ball valve equipped with a pneumatic actuator a load requiring careful handling, stable support, and controlled movement throughout the journey.

Valve transports of this scale present specific challenges due to concentrated weight, dimensional complexity, and the need to protect precision-engineered components. The operation required detailed planning and disciplined execution to ensure the cargo arrived safely and on schedule.

Goldhofer STZ-VP Provides Stability and Control

For the movement, Concord deployed Goldhofer Transport Technology’s STZ-VP trailer system, selected for its ability to provide high stability, controlled load distribution, and reliable road performance when handling heavy and sensitive components.

The STZ-VP configuration allowed the load to be supported securely throughout transport, minimizing stress on the valve structure and ensuring predictable handling during acceleration, braking, and maneuvering. Such characteristics are critical when transporting high-specification industrial equipment destined for energy or process installations.

Volvo 440 Prime Mover Supports Reliable Haulage

The transport was carried out using a Volvo 440 prime mover, providing the necessary traction, control, and reliability required for heavy transport operations. The combination of a capable prime mover with a proven Goldhofer trailer solution ensured smooth integration between haulage and load support systems.

This equipment pairing enabled Concord to manage route conditions effectively while maintaining consistent performance from start to finish.

Planning, Execution, and Values in Practice

Beyond equipment, the successful delivery underscores Concord Road Transport’s ability to plan, coordinate, and execute complex cargo movements with confidence.

Each stage of the operation from preparation and loading through transit and final positioning was guided by the company’s core values:

Safety – Prioritizing people, equipment, and cargo protection at every step
Commitment – Delivering on project requirements with reliability and accountability
Teamwork – Coordinated effort between planners, drivers, and site personnel

These principles are reinforced through continuous learning, experience, and execution on real-world projects.
