Eiffel tower? Movable. 😎 In 1984, our engineers spotted an ad from Dutch parcel delivery company Van Gend & Loos claiming, "If van Gend & Loos doesn’t know what to do with it, it cannot be moved," featuring the Eiffel Tower. And naturally, our engineers couldn't resist! 😄 After crunching the numbers (288 axle lines of SPMT!), they proved even the Eiffel Tower could be moved. Their response to Van Gend & Loos: “Our engineering department spent some time drawing and calculating, but even the Eiffel Tower can be moved. So, if you don’t know what to do with it, call #Mammoet." Wouldn't it be amazing to see the Eiffel Tower cruising on SPMTs? #Engineering #Innovation #FridayFun
Your engineers must be really bored at work😁
thanks for share ! team Mammoet we too want to extend it further... bringing ET to #udaipur ... please find an image! thanks for listening! thanks for time! good wishes to all! #safety1st
Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. - Archimedes
Mammoet I have always loved this ad but it’s 2024! Let’s see it in MOVE3D
Nothing is impossible 😎 Mammoet
I remember that 🤣
Wow, 288 axle lines of SPMT! That's some serious planning! Great post highlighting Mammoet's capabilities.
And .... any ideas where to move it?

1moNice, argument. Any mass can be carried with enough axis/wheels. However, driving/moving is something else. then the dynamic forces (acceleration, unanimity of the SPMT's, etc ) also have to be absorbed. I am very curious what this picture looks like. And whether the Eiffel Tower can be moved. in reality
