This crane package was delivered multimodally by ship and by road. Initially, the shipment was made by inland waterway vessel from Ennshafen to the port of Terneuzen (Netherlands). The push train with RORO barge had a length of 80 metres and a width of 11.5 metres. At Ennshafen, the RORO barge moored with a mobile ramp at the harbour quay before the mobile cranes rolled onto the barge under their own steam. The corresponding accessories were loaded onto the ship with a dedicated 250-tonne telescopic crane.

In total, the vehicles were under way for almost three weeks, of which they spent 17 days on the water. Aside from unreliable bridge statics and a better calculable transport time, it was primarily environmentally relevant points that made Prangl opt for multimodal transport. If the entire route had been driven by road, diesel consumption would have been massively higher. This meant that CO2 emissions could be kept significantly lower.
