Welcome to the July featured transport! Jackson Weeks, an experienced transport agent from our Fort Lauderdale, FL office, transported an oversized crane beam from Kentucky to Georgia. Due to its massive size, the crane beam required permits, pilot cars, and even a rear steerable dolly.
Good thing the client got ahold of Jackson. He’s no stranger to shipping oversize loads and knew precisely how to handle the transport.
But what is a crane beam?
A crane beam, or a crane lifting beam, is a long metal beam used in overhead structures to support trolley hoists. They are typically parts of bridge or gantry cranes.

The only way to safely load the oversize crane beam was to contract forklift drivers with the proper experience. Jackson vets every person he works with to ensure the client’s transport is as safe as possible.
Two forklift drivers had to work in tandem to safely move the beam from point A to point B and get it on the flatbed trailer. That’s why Jackson made sure to get the best. Transporting heavy loads requires detail and precision to ensure the equipment and the team stay safe.
Once the forklift driver team lifted the crane beam onto the flatbed trailer, they secured it with chains. Once properly loaded, the driver double-checked everything just to be sure nothing had been missed.
Yes, you read that right. The crane beam had an extremely long overhang from the flatbed trailer, so the rear steerable dolly was necessary.
It’s also why Jackson contracted pilot cars, as required by state regulations.
The trip from Bowling Green, KY, to Soperton, GA, was 464.7 miles. An average of almost eight hours.
The driver picked up the over-length crane beam load on a Tuesday. Following all DOT regulations and safety precautions, he delivered the load on Wednesday.
Thanks to Jackson’s precision and coordination, everything went smoothly. The client had their crane beam delivered on time, which meant they could keep their business running without interruption.
Total Load Value: $50,000
