Our Customers’ Purpose-Driven Partner
Deep South was started in 1968 with a passion for the heavy-lift and heavy-haul industry and a relentless drive to be the best of the best. We believe that work should be done with great intention to produce meaningful results, and partnering with us is a promise to our customers of:
- Exceptional people who bring the right tools and the right talent to every job;
- A company-wide commitment to understanding our profession through and through;
- A collaborative, team-first spirit that’s key to finding the best solutions;
- A workforce fueled by continuous training and education; and
- Outstanding service that strives to build authentic, respectful partnerships.
This describes what we provide, but there’s also our why — the personal motivation that drives the way we work and honors what we value. And for us, everything starts and ends with safety — the great protector, the great enabler and requirement number one for being the best in the business. Some of the many reasons our team members prioritize safety are:
- To ensure that our brothers and sisters are safe on the job and return home safely to family and friends
- To continue enjoying our hobbies and favorite experiences
- To connect our team and foster a sense of family and community
- To create more job opportunities for everyone, and safeguard our jobsites
When we work safer, smarter, and more efficiently, our potential for ourselves and our customers is limitless. Let this drive your decisions and actions throughout 2024 and we’ll continue to perform with purpose.
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’).
Multi-Module Mission
Posted:01/22/2024
The heavy haul transport of oil and gas refinery components is always a challenge. Transporting 17 modules, all in the span of two weeks, raised the bar. The modules varied greatly in size and weight. Two of the modules exceeded 260,000 lbs., while 11 were more than 16’ high, three were more than 19’ high, and 13 had widths greater than 18’. Initially, the customer had trouble finding a company to move the modules to their site in Texas.
