Tower Move - Hansa Meyer US

Hansa Meyer Global is well known in the industry as a complex, engineered-solutions provider for heavy haul project transports.  Our experts, domestically and internationally, work hand-in-hand with our clients and fabricators to ensure no detail is overlooked.  Recently Hansa Meyer's US team was engaged to move a 150' long tower weighing 105,000 pounds from the fab shop in Kansas to the job site in Oklahoma.  While the weight and height were not difficult to handle, the turning radius of a piece this long did get tricky in some of the more congested areas along the route.  As you can see in the pictures below, turntables were used to assist in the turning.  The weather cooperated and the piece was delivered safely and on-time to the site.  Great job Hansa Meyer!








Engineered solutions are an "In-House" expertise


From Rotterdam to Rails...

Having a reputation in the industry as the go-to project cargo specialist for heavy haul transformer moves, Hansa Meyer Global recently completed a move of a 511,560 pound transformer originating in Austria destined for Arizona.  After a barge move to Rotterdam the transformer was loaded on "The Star Juventas" for the voyage to Texas.  At the Port of Houston, the Hansa Meyer US team had a solution ready to transload the cargo to a waiting 12 axel railcar.  Well Planned - Well Executed.....Well Done !

Service Fit for a Super Hero

When the Caped Crusaders decide to take a summer vacation, they never leave the Bat Mobile behind. Even though Hansa Meyer Global Transport is the preferred project cargo specialists for Gotham City, Commissioner Gordon relies on us for some specialized air shipments as well....

Since the Dynamic Duo was headed to Asia for the 2015 Indonesia International Motor Show, Hansa Meyer ensured the iconic car was properly packed, crated, and shipped from the Bat Cave to Singapore.  We didn't get a chance to meet Batman and Robin, but it is rumored they took the Bat Plane to Asia to avoid the slow lines at TSA, as well as the hassle of explaining all their Bat Utility Belt gadgets at security.  We wish our heroes a great trip........
