CASE HIGHLIGHTS
449,500-lb slug catcher, 66'x13'x14'
Custom saddles manufactured in-house by Buckingham Equipment
Offloaded by barge crane to 12-line SPMT and driven uphill to transload site
Transloaded with 500-ton gantry to Goldhofer dual-lane trailer
Transported 50 miles
CLIENT SATISFACTION
This transport plan specified rotating the vessel to decrease load height. Buckingham Heavy Transport coordinated with the client to engineer and manufacture the saddles needed after the rotation, and provided the modifications required for rigging and roller placement for the rotation and multiple lifting and handling processes throughout shipment. Because the dock site for the river barge was not accessible by the dual lane trailer, Buckingham offloaded the vessel by barge crane to 12 lines of Goldhofer SMPT, drove it up the steep grade, then transloaded it via gantry to a dual lane trailer for highway transport. Buckingham was tasked with acquiring Highway Use permits to temporarily modify multiple turns along the 50-mile route. Through the use of our vehicle tracking and swept path technology, we were able to identify and properly mitigate problematic turns along the route prior to the load’s arrival.
