When Bricker Transport, a heavy hauling company, received a contract to transport, deliver and install a series of transformers across Texas, they knew they would need to augment their fleet to fulfill the project.<\/p>\n

While Bricker owns a wide array of heavy haul and rigging equipment, they did not have a skidding system capable of transporting the 220-ton transformers from their trailers to the pedestals.<\/p>\n

The Power Slide 500, designed and built by Engineered Rigging, and the Enerpac TT400 turntable are part of ER\u2019s extensive rental fleet.<\/p><\/div>\n

The first transformer was scheduled to be installed in just a week, so Bricker needed a sure-fire rental solution\u2026and fast!
\nBricker called John Kuka, Director of Business Development at Engineered Rigging (ER)<\/a>, to talk through the project needs.
\n\u201cThe team at Bricker needed a skidding system with a high load capacity and the ability to span from crib stack to crib stack,\u201d said Kuka.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a quick discussion of the project specifics, I knew that our Power Slide 500-ton system was the right fit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within 48 hours of the initial conversation, the ER<\/a> heavy lifting team prepared the Power Slide 500, which consists of four 125-ton load shoes, two push\/pull units, a hydraulic power pack and 116 feet of track, as well as Azobe wood timbers in frames for cribbing.<\/p>\n

The next morning, Bricker left ER<\/a>\u2019s yard in Russellville, Arkansas, with the equipment needed to safely and efficiently perform their skidding operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Bricker reached the first installation site in Texas, they realized that the transformer would need to be turned before placement on the pedestal,\u201d added Kuka.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provided a 440-ton Enerpac hydraulic turntable, which was ready for pick up the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bricker successfully delivered and installed the first transformer in July 2023, followed by four additional transformers across West Texas.<\/p>\n

Birck Jones of Bricker Transport said, \u201cEngineered Rigging<\/a>‘s equipment is immaculate and allowed us to get this work done quickly and without incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through competitive pricing and availability, ER<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0rental fleet\u00a0provided Bricker with the ability to complete these projects on time and withing budget. By renting the equipment it needed for this project, Bricker avoided a significant capital investment and the current long lead times on new heavy lifting equipment that a purchase would require.<\/p>\n
