Custom Solutions
We Can Design, Build, and Test Specialized Lifting and Transport Equipment to Meet the Needs of Your Project
Our work typically presents us with many challenges. We can tackle these challenges through our creative engineering and extensive fabrication capabilities. Quality is assured through many methods including finite element analysis, computer modeling and analysis, non-destructive testing, proof loading, and pull-testing.
Examples of our solutions to tough project challenges include:
- River levee crossing bridge (capacity >1,000 tons)
- Bridge jumpers through 100’ span
- Hydraulic jacking, skidding, and gantry systems
- Lift towers and strand jacks
- Low-profile, inverted saddle systems (for minimizing transport height)
- Hydraulic adjustable spreader bars and lift beams

A High-pressure Exchange
Assembling the 1,500T VersaCrane™ TC-24000 off site and moving it via SPMT saved this client 15 days of downtime and allowed the refinery unit to run at full capacity until unit shutdown. During the scheduled outage, Deep South was tasked to replace two coke drums, each weighed 452,800 lbs and were 19’-2” outside diameter and 96’-0” long and were comparable in size and weight to the old drums.
