Efficient Multi-Load Transport of Asphalt Plant
Equipment
When an asphalt company needed to relocate eight pieces of specialized
equipment from Huntertown, IN to Longview, TX, they required a transport specialist
who could handle high-value, oversized cargo. That's why they contacted Edwin Ortiz,
an expert transport specialist from our West Palm Beach, Florida, office.
The equipment included RoadBuilders, control rooms, baghouses, and other
vital asphalt plant components—with individual pieces weighing up to 90,000 pounds
and measuring up to 80 feet in length. The equipment was already disassembled and
loaded on trailers, but the client needed the trucks to transport all the machinery.
That's where the power only services come in.
Power only occurs when a company like Heavy Haulers provides the truck
and driver to hitch up to the client's trailers and transport the equipment.
Edwin coordinated power-only moves for all eight pieces, ensuring each
load had proper permits across state lines. Finding eight power only trailers can be
difficult since most drivers usually have their own trailer ready to go. However,
Edwin contacted several expert drivers and was able to pull it off.
Given the combined cargo value of $450,000+, special attention was paid
to secure loading and transport procedures. The team arranged for experienced
drivers familiar with oversized industrial equipment, particularly asphalt plant
components.
The transport required careful planning:
- • Strategic routing for multiple oversized loads
- • Coordinated timing for arrival and setup sequence
- • Multi-state permit acquisition
- • Verification of proper trailer specifications for each component
Despite the complexity of moving eight oversized pieces across multiple
states, every
component arrived safely and on schedule. The asphalt company was able to start
their
new project earlier than expected, thanks to Edwin's expertise.
