When our modular trailers make a turn all the components of the trailer must work together and these situations really showcase that, as you will see from the video below. The direction of travel, the size of the load, any obstructions, such as traffic lights, medians, wires, and bridges give yet another dimension to consider when planning a route and executing a load.

Perkins safely moved 462 pre-cast concrete bridge segments from a pour yard in Coates, MN for a civil contractor company on their massive bridge project, the reconstruction of the I-35W / Crosstown Highway (MN 62) interchange. This was one of the busiest "spaghetti junctions" in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area during rush hour.
We've all seen a bridge construction project where a crane is offloading bridge beams from trucks lined up on the side of the highway each waiting for their turn to get unloaded. However, in the construction of the Main Street Bridge over the Scioto River in downtown Columbus, OH, Perkins played a leading role by delivering its huge girders and arch sections from Wisconsin.
Perkins handled the task of moving two package boilers for our freight forwarder client from Houston, TX to a major refinery in Blaine, WA located minutes from both the Pacific Ocean and the WA/BC border. At 46' - 0'' long, 20' - 0'' wide, 15' - 0'' high and weighing 256,400 lbs with an asymmetrical center of gravity, this pair of big boilers were challenging, but no match for the Perkins team of professionals.
Immediately upon arrival from Germany to City Docks in Houston, TX, Perkins set its experienced superintendents and crew with the task of the initial assembly of the latest hydraulic platform trailer innovation available on the international market for moving super-loads over the highways of North America, our Goldhofer dual lane hydraulic trailers!
When a nuclear plant supplier needed "Absolutely, Positively" assurance for their outage at a nuclear power plant, they turned to Perkins Specialized Transportation Contracting.
Since the power plant was located on an island, hauling to the site would require crossing a mile-long causeway bridge. Several firms were contacted to haul the 110-ton component, but none could obtain hauling permits. When Perkins got the call, the supplier had been convinced that only a costly and time-consuming hauling/barging combination effort would work.
Perkins was contracted when an IL vessel fabricator needed to move a 270,000 lb grain-processing vessel to Keokuk, IA. Perkins Specialized Transportation Contracting is located within 600 miles of almost all these Ethanol, Bio-Diesel and other grain-based plants. And our unique transport equipment allows us to move large vessels through states with the most stringent superload requirements.
