OXBO recently completed the successful transport and installation of a transformer for a project in Bastrop, Texas. The load measured 199'2" long, 16' wide, 20'3" high, and weighed a total of 678,000 pounds. The move utilized a pull truck, 12 lines of Goldhofer equipment, a push truck, and covered 322 routed miles.
Success began long before the transport hit the road. Our team conducted multiple site visits to verify accessibility and identify any improvements needed to accommodate the transport configuration. When weather conditions prevented site access the week prior to the move, OXBO worked closely with the customer to develop a solution and coordinated a large-scale site matting operation to keep the project on schedule.
Due to the overall height of the load, additional safety measures were implemented, including two extra bucket truck units. The final es**rt configuration included four motorcycle police officers, four bucket truck crews, multiple high-pole es**rts, pilot cars, and dedicated supervision throughout the move.
The transformer arrived on site over the weekend without incident. Following delivery, our crew completed the jack-and-slide operation safely and successfully. Even after an unexpected placement adjustment was required due to revised site measurements, the team adapted and completed the project on schedule.
Most importantly, the project was executed without incidents and delivered another successful outcome for our customer.
At OXBO, challenges are opportunities to demonstrate what experienced planning, teamwork, and ex*****on can accomplish.
