FADA Engineering accelerates its global growth in heavy industrial logistics

İsmail Hakkı Akyüz, General Manager of FADA Engineering

FADA Engineering, which stands out with its electric transfer systems, 350-ton transport capacity, and investment in the United States, continues to expand through its high-tech intralogistics solutions developed for transformer manufacturers. Specializing in off-highway heavy-duty transport systems and industrial transfer solutions, the company is strengthening its position as a sought-after global brand with its high-capacity transportation systems designed for transformer manufacturing processes—one of the energy sector’s most critical industries. Operating from its production facility in Arifiye, Sakarya, FADA Engineering aims to become a leading international player in heavy industrial logistics through its engineering expertise, R&D investments, and export-oriented growth strategy.

FADA Engineering General Manager İsmail Hakkı Akyüz stated that the company's vision is to become a global leader in off-highway heavy industrial transportation, noting that the company has been developing industrial transport systems for more than 15 years. Akyüz said that FADA Engineering has completed more than 700 projects for over 220 customers across more than 25 industries in over 20 countries.

Emphasizing that the company follows an export-driven growth strategy, Akyüz said:

"As a company operating across four continents, we position ourselves not only as a machinery manufacturer but also as a comprehensive engineering solutions partner managing the intralogistics processes of heavy industrial facilities. We serve global markets with high value-added product groups, including Straddle Carriers, air cushion transporters, omnidirectional transfer carts, cable drum transport systems, and customized SPMT-based projects."

Engineering solutions tailored for transformer manufacturers

İsmail Akyüz explained that FADA's transfer systems enable transformers to be transported safely and with millimetric precision between production lines, testing facilities, painting and assembly stations, and shipping areas.

He also noted that the company develops customized transport solutions for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) containers, prefabricated concrete substations, cable drums, and other high-tonnage energy equipment.

Akyüz continued:

"Power transformers used in the energy sector require specialized transportation systems within manufacturing facilities due to their heavy weight and sensitive structure. From production to final installation, transformers require exceptional precision at every stage. We do not simply move heavy loads—we provide engineering solutions that ensure the operational continuity of our customers. One of FADA's most remarkable recent projects is a transformer transfer vehicle with a carrying capacity of 350 tons. The fully electric, rail-free system offers flexible mobility within manufacturing plants without requiring fixed rail infrastructure. Equipped with synchronized drive technology, load balancing systems, and precision maneuverability, it enables the safe transportation of high-tonnage transformers. Supported by remote-control and autonomous navigation options, the system reduces crane dependency while delivering significant advantages in occupational safety, operational efficiency, and energy savings. In the coming years, we will further strengthen our competitiveness in global markets by increasing our R&D investments in autonomous navigation, energy-efficient battery technologies, and Industry 4.0-based intelligent transport systems."
