325,000 Pound Transformer Delivered to Wind Farm

The Logistics Plus project cargo team recently completed the successful delivery of a 325,000 pound transformer to a wind farm in Georgia. In total, the project took 25 days to complete from pickup to final placement and orientation. This 28 x 12 x 15 foot transformer was transported via rail, unloaded from the rail car to a hydraulic platform trailer, and then hauled to site for final placement.

Due to the weight of the transformer, the containment pit floor at the wind farm was not suitable to bear the weight of any additional support bracing. The Logistics Plus team came up with a robust solution to use much larger beams to carry the transformer the entire distance of the pit without the need for any additional weight applied on the containment pit floor.
