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

Pressed for Time
A vehicle manufacturer’s large stamping press—a massive machine used for shaping body panels—is online and operational thanks to efficient installation by Deep South. The three primary components included a 181-ton press bed (27.72’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H), 250-ton press crown (28.38’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H) and a 92-ton press slide (21’ x 10.83’ x 10.5’).

Saddle Up: Customized Solutions Place Refinery Column with Care
The Deep South team was tasked to receive, transport and set a 790,025-pound debutanizer. This specialized distillation column measures 174’-3” long with a 21’-3” diameter. The debutanizer was received from an ocean-going vessel at the Port of New Orleans. Once cleared through customs, the debutanizer was loaded on a barge and pushed to a roll-off site 8 hours upriver, and prepared for transport to the refinery.
