492,000 LB TRANSFORMER DELIVERY IN IOWA
This video shows the second of two identical transformers that we delivered over 70 miles in central Iowa. They were destined for a new substation being built for the local wind farms. The transformers weighed 492,000 lbs each and were over 19' tall when loaded. Our 18-Dolly Dual-Lane Transporter spread the permitted weight of 838,400 lbs out over both lanes, and the Buckingham SmartSteer system for the dollies made navigating the corners precise and efficient. At one spot along the route, we had to add in beam extensions and four dollies to cross a bridge and then remove them again on the other side. When we got close to the site, the tight final turns required us to remove eight dollies for a shorter and more versatile wheelbase. Inside the substation, we removed the pull and push trucks and used the self-propelled transporter to maneuver the transformer into place for the off-load. Both deliveries were completed without any issues, ahead of schedule, and within budget.
