The Story BEHINDTHE MOVE
Transporting an oversized load measuring 1,120 x 402 x 423 cm and weighing 50,000 kg required meticulous planning. This superload demanded specialized permits, escort coordination, and equipment capable of managing extreme dimensions and weight.
Falcon deployed an extendable lowboy trailer to ensure optimal balance and clearance. Due to the heater’s height, state police escorts and bucket trucks were required to lift overhead wires along the route from Port Newark, NJ, to Grayling, MI. Every step of the move was strategically timed to comply with local transit restrictions and minimize disruption.
The Challenges Faced& Overcame
A flat tire immediately after leaving the port disrupted the schedule, requiring swift adjustments. This unplanned event led to a cascade of re-coordination with police escorts, bucket truck crews, and destination rigging teams.
Falcon’s proactive communication and 24/7 oversight were key to maintaining control. The team rapidly rescheduled each partner while keeping both the overseas agent and consignee informed in real time. This prevented costly idle time at the destination and preserved the project’s timeline.
