At TAKKION, we thrive on challenges—and our latest heavy haul project is a testament to that.
Our Transportation Solutions team recently completed a complex and demanding transport of a PDC (Production Data Control) building, covering 1,870 miles from Houston, TX to Casper, WY. This was no ordinary haul—it was a demonstration of technical precision, planning, and teamwork.
📦 The Cargo: Oversized and Overdelivered
The building itself came in at an impressive:
- Dimensions: 70’4” L × 17’8” W × 14’8” T
- Weight: 57,000 lbs
Once loaded onto our equipment, the combined transport dimensions were:
- Loaded Dimensions: 110’ L × 17’8” W × 18’3” H
Transporting a load of this scale demanded more than just horsepower—it required smart engineering and next-level logistics.
🛠️ The Equipment: Faymonville Multi-Max 6-Axle Steerable Trailer
This move was powered by our newly acquired Faymonville Multi-Max trailer, a 6-axle steerable powerhouse designed to handle the most challenging of jobs. Key specifications include:
- Max Legal Payload: 124,000 lbs
- Deck Height: 33.5”
- Extendable Deck: Up to 77’
This trailer provided the flexibility and capacity needed to move such a large structure safely and efficiently.
🚨 Special Requirements: Safety Meets Strategy
The successful execution of this transport hinged on close coordination with local and state authorities across multiple jurisdictions. Special requirements included:
- Police Escorts through Texas
- Utility Support Teams to temporarily raise power lines across both Texas and Colorado
Every mile of the journey was meticulously planned to ensure safety, compliance, and timely delivery.
🤝 Teamwork in Motion
From initial planning to final delivery, this project showcased the expertise and dedication of TAKKION’s Transportation Solutions team. Working hand-in-hand with partners such as Faymonville Trailers and Hale Trailer Brake & Wheel, Inc., we brought together equipment and expertise to deliver results—literally.
🚛 Why It Matters
Complex hauls like this represent more than just moving cargo. They reflect the heart of what TAKKION stands for: logistics leadership, specialized solutions, and a commitment to doing the job right—every time.
