Boccard Pipe Rack Module Transport 85′ Long x 22′ Wide x 14′ High / 154,000 lbs

LGI handled all logistics of this move including numerous site visits throughout the fabrication to constantly keep an eye on progress of the module and stay in close communication with the fabricator to assist with any questions that might arise that would involve the correct shipping of this piece. On the first site visit it was explained that the piece, after final assembly , would need to be lifted with Gantry’s in order to load onto the trailer, due to the layout and the dimensions of the load beams, it was quickly determined that if the module was raised up 10″ before it was built, utilizing I-Beam spacers under each leg, then the Goldhofer trailer used, could “self load”, eliminating the added cost of Gantry’s, ultimately saving the customer Thousands of dollars.

The close eye of our sales team is what separates LGI apart from other companies, we care about what we do and want to further our relationships with our customers, as well as establish new relationships as well. This move was executed after hours, as an over dimensional load of this size, is not permitted to travel during light hours, the convoy of trucks escorts and police vehicles left the fabricator at precisely 9:15 pm and traveled through the night, negotiating several tight turns and numerous steep grade rail road tracks, arriving at the destination at 12:30 am.

We then returned the next morning and again maneuvered our way through the Shell Oil facility to arrive at the 750 ton Demag crane, which was used to lift the module into its final place. Several months of meticulous planning resulted in a flawless move with no harm to either workers or the cargo.
