Coal Export Facility System Upgrade
At a coal export terminal in Southeast Texas, Deep South provided multiple single and tandem lifts to install this conveyor system during a facility upgrade using the 265-ton Liebherr LTM 1220-5.2, the 400-ton Demag AC350/6, and the 1320-ton Terex AC-1000. Conveyor sections weighed 40,000 pounds to 132,000 pounds and measured up to 170’ in length.

Multi-Module Mission
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.

Many Lifts, One Solution: Modular Lift System Flexes Hydraulic Muscles During Process Plant Overhaul
Deep South crews were challenged to haul, lift, and set 84 modules, including three towers (one measuring 100’ long, 350,000 lbs.) as well as various pieces of process equipment, such as piping, tanks, PDC buildings, and transformers—all within a tight schedule. Many of the modules had offset centers of gravity further complicating the lift and set.
