The ALMA observatory will consist of an array of 54 12-m diameter and 12 7-m diameter antennas. In order to configure the different array modes, it is necessary to move the antennas to different configurations. In the compact array configuration, the antennas are packed as closely as possible within a circle of 200 m diameter; in the extended configuration the antennas are spread over an area of about 15 km in diameter. The frequent relocations of antennas will be accomplished by two special vehicles, the ALMA Antenna Transporters. The challenges encountered during their development and their main characteristics are described.
