Complex Projects

CTS S.p.A. | Midolini Group

Engineering logistics for complex industrial projects

Exceptional transport, industrial handling, heavy lifting, relocation and turnkey execution for complex projects across Italy and Europe.

More than transport

Complex projects require integrated solutions

For almost 30 years, CTS has been delivering exceptional transport, industrial handling, heavy lifting and industrial installation projects. Today, as part of Midolini Group, CTS combines its specialist experience with complementary capabilities, an extended operational footprint and integrated project execution.

Complex operations proven in the field

Selected operations showing how CTS combines transport engineering, SPMT technology and coordinated execution for high-complexity industrial and port projects.

RO-RO operation involving three vessels and 42 SPMT axles
RO-RO & Project Cargo

Three vessels, one integrated transport mission

Simultaneous RO-RO loading and unloading of three vessels, followed by barge transport from Marghera to Ancona. The operation involved 42 SPMT axle lines to handle approximately 350 tonnes. Watch the project video
Exceptional transport of a fractionation tower for the ENI Venice biorefinery
Energy & Petrochemical

47-metre fractionation tower transported by SPMT

CTS moved an 80-tonne fractionation tower destined for the ENI Venice biorefinery using 16 SPMT axle lines. The two-hour journey on public roads required detailed engineering, traffic coordination and controlled execution. Watch the project video
RO-RO transport of two Liebherr STS cranes from Marghera to Trieste
Port Logistics & Heavy Transport

RO-RO transfer of two 1,370-tonne STS cranes

For TM S.r.l., CTS managed the RO-RO loading in Marghera and unloading in Trieste of two Liebherr STS cranes weighing 1,370 tonnes each, using 96 SPMT axle lines and advanced transport engineering. Watch the project video
