Industrial Case Studies

As a long-time trusted partner of the oil and gas industry, Donald Rigging was the clear choice for transporting six loads of heavy equipment, including two large compressors, from Calgary to an area just south of Grand Prairie in Canada.

Though winter weather conditions made the move challenging, the Donald Rigging team was well-equipped to make the project a complete success. Using their experience in handling harsh northern climates, they expertly navigated through snow and over icy roads, ensuring a safe delivery for the heavy equipment.

High, Wide, and Heavy Equipment Hauling In Any Weather

The primary objective of this project was to transport large compressors and other heavy equipment needed to sustain high-volume operations in the oil and gas industry. In executing the move, Donald Rigging’s machinery moving and specialized transportation divisions faced significant hurdles since the two compressors they were carrying measured 48 feet long, 24 feet wide, and over 22 feet tall.

High, wide, and tall loads such as these require the utmost skill to transport, even in the best conditions. Add on icy roads and a route through the mountains, and the need for expert drivers and state-of-the-art equipment becomes absolutely essential.

In addition to skilled driving, the height of the largest loads also created a demand for utility support along the route. The Donald Rigging crew handled this with professionalism and expertise, communicating clearly with crews to manage overhead obstructions.

Donald Rigging is known for its commitment to safety. At one point along the route, the team chose to implement standby protocols when weather became even more extreme. In taking this action, the team demonstrated their dedication to protecting their customer’s equipment as well as their extensive knowledge regarding the risks posed by transporting high, wide, and heavy loads in severe weather conditions.

Safe and Secure Equipment Moving: Delivered

The Donald Rigging team successfully completed this equipment move and the customer was fully satisfied. It was a high-stakes project with multiple challenges, but the team met each obstacle with skill and expertise, delivering exceptional results for the oil and gas industry.
