When every second counts, Barnhart delivers.
Barnhart was called in to transport a massive 600,000 lb transformer to a nuclear power plant near New Orleans after a previous provider failed to secure permits—putting the project on critical hold. Within a tight timeline, Barnhart's team conducted a detailed route survey, secured the necessary permits, and deployed its proprietary 24 Dolly Rig, engineered in-house for high maneuverability and permit success.
This custom rig features a high strength-to-weight ratio, designed to navigate challenging infrastructure, uneven terrain, and tight corridors—making it ideal for emergency heavy hauls like this one.
From permit problem to project completion, Barnhart's early involvement and innovative solutions helped lower costs and restore critical operations.
