SRT transports many, many Boilers!
From “A” – type to “D”- type, and every other type… Rail transportation of boilers can be very complex and intricate, but it’s a part of every day for SRT. Our Boiler transportation experts can take away your headache of getting the boiler where it needs to go. Contact us to find out how!
Specialized Rail was contracted to handle the movement of this large boiler from Washington State to Southern Idaho.
Measuring 13'1" wide by 17'3" tall and weighing over 180,000 pounds, the SRT team was able to obtain clearances, and more imoprtantly, load within the very
tight clearance window.
Challenges that were overcome to make this project successful were finding one of the very few railcars that could be used to move this boiler,
arranging for ballast to lower the load's center of gravity, and coordinating the loading with riggers.
