Hansa Meyer Heavy Haul & Rigging - Expanding Capabilities

Hansa Meyer Global Transport is a leader in the project cargo industry. Our focus is working for the success of our customers to the best of our abilities, while constantly creating value. With that being said,  we are expanding our capabilities in North America with new equipment for our sister company, Hansa Meyer Heavy Haul & Rigging USA, LLC. (HMHH&R)

To start off the year with a bang, HMHH&R showcased our 2015 Mack Titan and newest Goldhofer equipment with a transportation project from the Port of Houston to New Braunfels, TX. After arriving from Antwerp, Belgium, we were able to directly discharge a 115 Ton Gearbox (MAAG Planetary Gear Reducer) from the ship using two 80-ton cranes, in tandem, onto the 16 line SL Goldhofer with 4-axel truck. Total weight of the load was a little over 250,000 lbs!
