After having suffered several refusals in obtaining permits for transport by road, our client Wendt corporation mandated us to starting looking at a rail transportation option. The movement of the machine from the point of origin (Laval, QC) to the destination in Minnesota.

By it size (width) this metal recylcing chrusher would not make clearance by rail if shipped layed flat on railcar so we came with a solution to tilt it. This critical manœuvre allowed us to clear narrow tunnels in the Michigan are.

In order to meet the customer's needs and to move the machine safely, we went on site to analyze it, plan the move by developing lifting drawings and prepare the railcar for transportation.

On the day itself, the machine was moved under the supervision of the team, engineers and police escorts and because every step was well thought out, the transport went as planned, without a hitch.
