Extreme Altitude Equipment Transport: Moving a Caterpillar 365C Excavator Across Mountain Peaks
In today’s 4K cinematic video, we take you deep into the mountains of Greece, where one of the most experienced transport crews in the region—Fasoulas Transport Team—executes a high-altitude heavy equipment relocation.
The task? To transport a Caterpillar 365C excavator from an active wind turbine construction site at 1,600 meters altitude to a new project site located 100 kilometers away at an elevation of 1,800 meters.
Challenging terrain, extreme elevation, narrow mountain roads, and sharp inclines made this transport a true test of professionalism, coordination, and experience. And the Fasoulas team delivered flawlessly.
🚧 The Machine: Caterpillar 365C Excavator
This heavy-duty machine was finishing work on the mountainous wind farm site and needed to be transported quickly to the next wind turbine location.
✅ Caterpillar 365C Specs:
• Operating Weight: ~65,000 kg (143,000 lbs)
• Engine Power: 425 hp (317 kW)
• Bucket Capacity: 3.9 m³ (5.1 yd³)
• Purpose: Earthmoving, trenching, rock work in rugged terrain
Known for its powerful performance in extreme environments, the 365C is commonly used in renewable energy infrastructure development, including wind and solar farm construction.
🚛 The Transport Setup: MAN TGA 41.660 + Goldhofer Hydraulic Trailer
To manage such a demanding load on such difficult terrain, the team used a MAN TGA 41.660 heavy-haul truck, paired with a Goldhofer 4-axle hydraulic trailer, specifically engineered for oversized and ultra-heavy equipment.
🛠️ Equipment Details:
• Truck: MAN TGA 41.660 – 660 horsepower, 8x4 configuration
• Trailer: Goldhofer hydraulic low-bed trailer – ideal for mountainous terrain and load stability
This setup provided the power, traction, and balance needed to climb and descend steep, winding roads while keeping the 365C secure.
🏞️ Journey Overview: 1600m to 1800m Altitude
This was not just a standard move—it was a high-risk, high-difficulty mountain transport, which included:
• Narrow switchbacks and unstable shoulders
• Sharp descents on the way down from the first construction site
• Long climbs through steep gradients to reach the 1,800-meter destination
• Constant communication and coordination between drivers, escort vehicles, and equipment handlers
Despite the obstacles, the Fasoulas Transport Team proved why they’re one of the most trusted names in the industry. Their years of experience, attention to detail, and professional handling ensured the machine was delivered without incident.
