Bottle Washers to the Dominican
Republic
Three bottle washers weighing
nearly 100,000 pounds moved
from St. Louis, Missouri to the C&D
National Brewery in the Dominican
Republic. These three bottle washers
were each at least 15-feet tall, nine-to 10-feet wide and 14- to 15-feet
long. Because of U.S. Department
of Transportation height restrictions
on over-the-road transport in certain
states, trucking was not an option.
Instead, Crowley turned to the rail
and an 89-foot flatcar in order to
have the washers arrive in Port Everglades for sailing. After
presenting blocking and bracing schematics to the railroad
for approval, the loads were cleared for transport. Later the
pieces were secured onto four 48-foot double drop lowboys
for their ocean voyage to the Dominican Republic.
76 Subway Cars to Puerto Rico
Seventy six subway cars
moved from Jacksonville, Fla.,
to San Juan, Puerto Rico for
use in the Tren Urbano project.
The 90-foot long railcars each
measured 10.51 feet wide,
15.83 feet high and weighed
142,530 pounds.
Passenger Loading Airport
Bridges to Puerto Rico and
Haiti
The shipment to Puerto Ricoconsisted of five, three-
tunnel airport passenger
boarding bridges and com-
ponent parts to the Luis
Muñoz Marín International
Airport in Carolina, Puerto Rico. While the shipment to Haiti
included two more with component parts to be used in the
new American Airlines
terminal expansion at Toussaint Louverture International
Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In both cases, the bridges
exceeded
53 feet in length while the total cargo volume associated
with the combined shipments was over 5,000 cubic meters.
110,000-Pound Boiler to
Honduras
Crowley safely delivered an
enormous boiler from Jamestown,
KY to Choloma, Honduras. The
boiler measured 35 feet long, 12
feet wide, 15 feet high, and weighed
a staggering 110,000 pounds. The
boiler was lifted onto a custom
lowboy at the port by a crane
that Crowley had contracted for this specific move, and
loaded aboard a Crowley vessel for transit to Puerto Cortez,
Honduras. At 15 feet high, when the boiler was loaded on the
special Crowley five axle lowboy, the load measured 18 feet
7 inches high, well over the standard maximum height of most
interstates but acceptable for inland transit in Honduras.
Double Stack Railcars for the Panama Railway
A special service contract with
the Panama Canal Railway
Company (PCRC), owned by the
Kansas City Southern Railway(KCS) and Mi-Jack Corporation
called for Crowley to move 29
former TTX double-stack well
cars from the end of the Florida
East Coast Railway (FEC) track
in Port Everglades, Fla., to the
beginning of the PCRC track in Manzanillo, Panama. Each of
the units consisted of five cars connected as if they were one
long articulated car making the total unit more than 200-feet
long. Each unit had five wells capable of holding two 40-foot
containers stacked.
Rock Crushing Plant to Guatemala
A rock crushing plant madeits way from the United
States to El Progreso,
Guatemala thanks to
Crowley. The crusher moved
on two 48-foot flatbeds
and one 48-foot stepdeck.
There were also two tow-
able units weighing approxi-
mately 96,000 pounds each.
Additional shipments, which
occurred over three months, included five excavators, con-
crete trucks, five dump trucks, two cranes, two bulldozers,
motor graders, two wheel loaders, water trucks and a vibra-
tory roller.
1,148-Foot Roller Coaster
to Costa Rica
Thirty-six loads of roller
coaster track and parts
moved with Crowley from
Pennsylvania to San Jose,
Costa Rica. With some
parts topping 60-feet in
length, only Crowley’s RO/RO ships could accomodate the
move. Once the coaster named the Bocaraca was assem-
bled it stood 64-feet tall and takes riders to speeds topping
37 miles per hour.
Water Heater to Honduras
The 24’ x 14’ x 15’ water
heater was shipped from
Texas to Honduras. The
company
provided a double-drop
lowboy flatbed in Gulfport
for the load and the cargo
sailed and arrived in Puerto
Cortes, Honduras four
days later. Once offload-
ed, specialized truckers and security escorts were engaged
by Crowley to move the piece from the port to a plant located
in Potrerillos.
Take a look at some of the many things we’ve had the pleasure to move.
