Posted: 05/15/2014
Baton Rouge, LA, Thursday, May 15, 2014 - Deep South Crane & Rigging hauled two manifold skids from Zachary, Louisiana to the Botsco Terminal in Laporte, Texas using Scheuerle highway trailers. This equipment allowed Deep South to expedite permitting to 1 week's time.
Skid 1, shown in the video, weighed 150,000 pounds and measured 74' 11" long, 18' 9" wide, and 15' 2.5" tall.
Skid 2 weighed 80,000 pounds and measured 73.5' long, 13' 2.5" tall, and 13' 2.5" tall.
Scheuerle highway trailers have the proper axle spacing to meet or exceed most state permitting requirements, which give our customers flexibility in hauling heavy loads. These state of the art trailers are double telescopic trailers and can extend out to 100' level deck behind the gooseneck as needed. Their hydraulic suspension allows for self loading and unloading and the ability to maneuver on uneven ground.

Precarious Conditions on the Dock

Rail-traveling ship loaders are a familiar sight on the Gulf Coast (and around the world)—and they are essential to the efficient loading of bulk materials. Disruption to the operation of these massive machines directly affects productivity and the bottom line, as represented by one company's experience when wind from a severe storm knocked the machine off its rails, leaving it dangerously close to the edge of the dock.
Reconfigured for a Higher Load

During a planned outage, a petrochemical facility in Texas needed to replace a large tower head—measuring 54' L x 30' W x 30' H and weighing 280,000 pounds. Deep South Crane & Rigging selected a strategic setup location for its 2,500-ton VersaCrane TC-36000 to accommodate both the head lift and additional turnaround work. The lift was initially planned at 350,000 pounds, accounting for tray installation.
