NessCampbell Crane + Rigging, a premier provider of heavy lift, rigging, and specialized transportation services, recently executed a significant and challenging project in Northern Utah. The task involved transporting a massive 600,000-pound transformer over an 8-mile stretch, using their state-of-the-art Goldhofer PST trailer.
NessCampbell Crane + Rigging’s meticulous planning and coordination were crucial to the success of this project. Strategic closures of intersections and streets were implemented to allow the safe passage of the oversized load. The team worked closely with multiple stakeholders, including the Utah Highway Patrol and Rocky Mountain Power, to ensure a smooth and safe operation. Ensuring the transformer’s safe transport without disrupting local power supply required precise timing and communication.
The transformer was initially brought in via railroad to a staging area near Logan. From there, the NessCampbell team executed a complex series of maneuvers to transfer the transformer onto their specialized trailer.
