POLAR LOGISTICS IN -50°C

With growing concerns about the future of the polar regions there are increasing demands for more monitoring and research. A large majority of the research is field based, requiring equipment and teams to be on site. This means that a constant flow of supplies needs to be established, and a constant flow of supplies to one of the most remote locations on earth is extremely expensive.

Once supplies reach land, solutions for the land-based logistics is needed. Flights can be used to reach a few bases further inland, but it’s often more cost-efficient to use land logistics from the coast. Multiple locations can only be reached by land, which are hard to access in the extreme enviroment. In short, the logistics requirements are extraordinary.

Key benefits

Easy to lift & transport to hard-to-access and remote locations
Less affected by terrain and enviromental factors compared to other lifting equipment
Increased efficiency and lower cost
Requires less space, low working height and has low ground pressure
Hammar has a dedicated service agent for the antarctic region

Polar logistics application examples

Relocatable laboratories/facilities & stations

Due to the extreme conditions mobility is very valueble.

Supplies for maintanance, crew etc.

Supplies constantly has to be delivered from the outside.

Deployable observatories and platforms

Various autonomous platforms are be transported and lifted by the Sideloader.

Establishing or moving research stations

Easy and safe to transport and deliver materials.
