About this platform

SPMT World

An independent, neutral, free platform for the SPMT industry. No affiliation with any manufacturer, operator or rental company.

What it is

SPMT World provides three things the industry has lacked: a publicly searchable company directory with sourced fleet data, a free axle-line calculator built on a documented methodology verified against DNV-GL-ST-N001, and a fleet map showing who operates where.

Data principles

Every fleet figure on this platform is published with a source URL, a date, and a figure type. The build system enforces this — a figure without a source cannot be published. If a figure has a source, it is published with that source; the reader can always verify independently.

All companies are on identical terms. No company pays to appear, and no company pays for a higher position or additional data fields. The claimed/unclaimed badge reflects whether a company has contacted us — it does not imply any endorsement or verification of the data.

The calculator

The axle-line calculator is based on the SPMT World calculation specification Rev B, desk-validated against DNV-GL-ST-N001 Marine operations and marine warranty (2018/2020 edition). It implements Modules 1–8 covering axle-line count, load distribution and hydraulic grouping, stability (DNV load cases A and B), traction and PPU sizing, load securing, spine-beam bending, suspension stroke and braking.

It is indicative only and intended for early-stage planning. It is not a substitute for a project-specific engineering calculation by a qualified transport engineer. An external engineer review is required before the full calculator is publicly released.
