🚛 Route: Alpen, Germany → Ternopil, Ukraine
🚜 Cargo: 2 Lemken Rubin 10TF/600 disc harrows
👤 Client: an agricultural enterprise
⏱ Timeline: July 28 – August 3, 2026
✅ Result: machinery delivered undamaged
The task: An agricultural enterprise from the Ternopil region approached us with a request to deliver two Lemken Rubin 10TF/600 disc harrows from Germany. The machinery had already been purchased from a distributor in Alpen — all that remained was to arrange transport so that it would arrive in the same condition it left the warehouse.
The cargo: A Lemken Rubin 10 disc harrow is not just metal on a trailer. Dozens of moving parts: discs, springs, C-shaped tines, hydraulic units, sensors. All of it projects beyond the frame, all of it can catch, bend, or break at the slightest shift in transit. Two such units mean double the responsibility.
How they were prepared for transport: Each harrow was placed on a wooden pallet — this provides a stable base and rules out contact with the trailer floor under vibration. Secured with straps at several points around the perimeter: by the frame, and by individual units where the design allowed. The goal is for the machine to have no play in any direction. The photo shows just how tightly and evenly the lashing points are distributed along the full length of the machine.
The route: Alpen is a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia, home to one of Lemken’s distributors. From there, the machinery set off by curtain-side trailer through Poland to Ternopil. The route is a standard one, but with machinery like this, standard doesn’t mean simple — every kilometer of uneven road is felt by the entire structure.
Result: Both Lemken Rubin 10TF/600 harrows arrived in Ternopil on August 3 with no damage whatsoever. The client received the machinery ready for work and was satisfied — the next shipments from Germany are already being planned.
