A packaging material shortens the lead time, improves productivity, and also secures excellent formability. The packaging material includes a base layer as an outer layer, a heat fusible resin layer as an inner layer, and a metal foil layer arranged between both the layers. The base layer and the metal foil layer are bonded via an outer adhesive layer composed of a cured film of a first electron beam curable resin composition containing an electron beam polymerization initiator. The heat fusible resin layer and the metal foil layer are bonded via an inner adhesive layer composed of a cured film of a second electron beam curable resin composition containing an electron beam polymerization initiator. The content rate of the electron beam polymerization initiator in each of the first electron beam curable resin composition and the second electron beam curable resin composition is 0.1 mass % to 10 mass %.

A self-propelled module for oversize loads includes two ground movement assemblies with oil-pressure controlled actuation; a transverse rocker arranged between the movement assemblies, which are coupled thereto independently; oil-pressure controlled suspension elements, arranged on corresponding oscillating supports coupled to the transverse rocker; and a load-bearing frame, supported by the oil-pressure controlled suspension elements.
