Gateway Logistics Group provides Specialized Transportation Planning and Execution of Super Heavy Load

Gateway Logistics an experienced provider of specialized transportation planning and execution was awarded a contract to provide the safe delivery of 2 specially engineered package boilers. Once the 10 month fabrication process was completed, the execution stage began. This included the transfer of the boilers from the fabrication yard located in Mississippi to a barge which arrived safely to the Port of Houston. The first boiler was then transferred to a specially configured “dual lane - super load transporter” that has made its way from Houston, Texas to Washington State, with final delivery of the first unit to Blaine, Washington.

Each Boiler Package weighs almost (115 tons) 230,000 pounds, however when combined with the specialized transporter it totals more than 480,000 pounds. During the transport process the total length of the specialty permitted convoy was more than 200’ long, 21’ wide and 15’ in height. The movement of super heavy loads requires months of front end planning prior to execution in order to determine safest transport route for the material.

The first load is currently in the final stages of delivery in the State of Washington with expected delivery during the next week. The second boiler unit will be in route once the specially configured transporter is back in Houston in order for the entire process to be repeated.
