Weight Challenges

February 5, 2017

Perkins was contracted by a California utility to move four (4) steam generator sections with dimensions of 46’ 4” length, 15’ 6” width, 14’ 5” height, and a weight of 760,335 lbs from CA to UT. To accomplish the task, Perkins developed the “Road Train” transporter, a Trail King 800 suspension system with 48 dual lane loading hydraulic/gas bogies. Conceived and initially designed by Perkins project managers and engineers, “Road Train” was professionally built by a major US trailer manufacturer for the project.

Perkins has a long and rich history in the transportation industry that began way back in 1945. Since that time, the company has moved all manner of cargo over the road using legal and specialized highway transporters. While Perkins would have no problems in effectively managing the receipt and delivery of a packing list full of cargo to be moved by the Perkins team alongside a myrid of other companies, that is not our focus, not our core competency!
