Transporting 40 Mobile Dorms for Hurricane Ian Relief

Jay Hays and Josh Shaw were contracted by a client who had to transport 40 mobile dorm units from California to Florida. This was an extremely important transport, because these modular units would act as temporary housing for contractors building homes for displaced Floridians. Hurricane Ian, a devastating category 4 hurricane made landfall on the west coast of Florida in September of 2022. Josh and Jay did such a great job, that not only is this listed on our projects page, but it was the featured transport of December 2022.

Not only did these two experienced agents handle everything from start to finish, they also flew out to California to supervise the transport personally. Find out more detail about what went into this transport now.

Crane Load Assistance for a Vintage Caboose

A client called Antonio to transport their classic caboose on a short haul in Texas. However, the most pivotal aspect of this transport was load assistance. The client needed a company that could provide safe load assistance, getting the caboose off the track section and onto a lowboy trailer for shipping. Not a problem for Antonio. He detailed every step of the load assistance and transport process for the client. His knowledge and expertise made it easy for the client to choose Heavy Haulers and Antonio specifically as the transport agent.

Antonio found the best crane and rigging crew in Anderson, Texas. They arrived on time, and the team got to work. To transport the caboose safely, they had to remove the wheels and lower them on the lowboy trailer. The track section and wheels were transported on a separate flatbed trailer. With the caboose safely on the way, Antonio arranged for a different crew at the delivery location in Spring, Texas, for unloading assistance. The crew unloaded the track section, wheels, and caboose, putting it all together again. The client was ecstatic at the exceptional professionalism and quality of service.

Transporting an Oversize Pump Skid to Ohio

Christopher Arce, a logistics agent out of our Fort Lauderdale, Florida office, received a call to ship an 18,000lb pump skid from Corpus Christi, Texas to West Chester, Ohio. The massive pump skid came in at 27ft in length, 9.5 feet in width, and 6.5 feet in height. Because, generally, the legal load width is 8.5 feet, this pump skid transport was an oversize load. Christopher obtained the proper permits and found a driver qualified to ship heavy equipment. This was a rush load, so Christopher decided on a hot shot trucking solution. He also got an experienced crew to safely load and unload the pump skid.

Because the pump skid could not be driven onto the trailer, they used cranes to load it. This also needed to be tarped, as requested by the client. They wanted additional protection from the elements. Christopher made sure to adhere to all the clients' requests and ensured the top safety protocols were followed during every step of transport. Pump skids are systems that have a pump, as well as an electric motor or diesel engine mounted to the steel base. They are used for water pumping, fire suppression, chemical suppression, and more. Thanks to Christopher’s expert precision and quality service, the pump skid was delivered to Ohio safely and on time.

Oversize Boiler Tank Transport

Jay Hays arranged the pickup of this oversize boiler tank at the port in Houston. After arriving from Spain, they used a crane and loaded this heavy haul onto a bucket truck. To ensure safe travel, the secured rigging was double and triple checked. Jay arranged for a convoy to ride along with the boiler transport. This oversize haul required pilot cars and police for the most safety. Since the boiler is so large, they had to move and prop up power lines to avoid hazards. Jay made sure to take every precaution for a safe oversize transport.

Safe Delivery After a Long Heavy Haul Journey

From Texas, the boiler went to Hupp Electric Motors in Marian, IA. That's a 1,152-mile long haul for this oversize boiler tank.

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom Transport

We loaded this Phantom in Burlington VT and shipped it to Richmond, VA. We decided to transport this load on 3 separate trailers, 1 for the body, 2 for the wings, and a 3rd trailer for the vertical stabilizer frame and crated items including that included 2 fuel tanks, 2 pylons, 2 wing tips, 2 missile launchers, 4 wing flaps, 2 leading edge slats, 1 tail cone, 1 horizontal stabilizer, 2 access doors for under the wings, 3 wing top access panels, 6 LH fuselage panels, 6 RH fuselage panels, 3 under fuselage/wing panels, and even the LH/RH missile launcher!

We arranged loading and unloading on both pickup and delivery by arranging crane services with the proper insurance backed by our secondary contingency cargo insurance to be safe. Once loaded, we drove it at a safe speed a total of 650 miles to VA. We provided 3 removable gooseneck trailers with escorts and pilot cars to travel across 6 states. Permits and escorts all obtained and coordinated by Heavy Haulers!

Maintaining a Legal Load.

This load took strategic position planning considering the odd size of each piece. One of those being the wings, which ended up slanting at an angle slightly wider than 90 degrees, closer to 110 degrees. At this angle, it sat under 12ft wide in order to avoid a route survey and police escorts. We used a lower lowboy trailer at 14 inches from the ground rather than 18 inches which significantly helped this transport stay a legal load.
