Push-Pull (Block-Truck) Operations
Push-pull operations provide essential support for heavy loads travelling steep or challenging terrain. By using a second prime mover to assist from the front or the rear, we maintain safe control, steady momentum, and reduced strain on equipment when climbing or descending hills. The setup is ideal for oversized machinery and high-weight freight that requires additional power and stability, ensuring safe, and compliant movement across demanding routes.
