Mountain was tasked with transporting a 129’ vessel weighing over 140k pounds through a refinery. The transport involved extremely tight space constraints and very tight cornering. Multiple route surveys were performed prior to the transport and a team of four spotters along with the operator were used to move the vessel to the cranes for final set. A six-line selfpropelled E-steer Goldhofer was used to push the vessel with a light weight four axle steerable dolly on the front end for steering. The self-propelled trailer was the right tool and made one critical 3 point turn a breeze. The Goldhofer PSTE was fitted with rocking turn tables that allowed the vessel to travel over multiple elevation changes throughout the refinery without creating any undue stress on the vessel during transport. The vessel was delivered to 600 ton and 350-ton hydraulic cranes for standing and final set to foundation. The transport, although short, was highly technical and involved extensive planning and was executed flawlessly.
