Tread Carefully! Transporting an M5A1 Stuart Tank from Illinois to Texas
When the client called Heavy Haulers, they already put themselves on track for a successful tank transport.
Dylan Barron, out of our Doral, FL office, received the call to ship an M5A1 Stuart Tank from Illinois to Texas. The client, a representative for a company that recovers artifacts and WWII items for The National Museum of the Pacific War, needed an experienced heavy equipment shipping agent who could provide smooth transport.
This M5A1 Stuart Tank was one of the first 500 to roll off the assembly line and deployed to the front in response to WWII. The museum couldn’t tread lightly when it came to shipping this important piece of American history.
Understanding the significance of the M5A1 Stuart Tank, Dylan went above and beyond to ensure that every step of this oversize load transport went off without a hitch

At Heavy Haulers, our professional and experienced team takes transport to the next level. That’s precisely what Dylan did for the client transporting the Stuart tank from Illinois to Texas.
The classic Stuart Tank’s mechanical issues stopped it from reversing. So, Dylan contracted a 55-ton wrecker to prep, lift, and safely load the M5A1 onto the step deck trailer. Dylan ensured the securement of the tank twice. No way could anything happen to this piece of American history.
Dylan has years of oversize load transport experience, and safety is always his top priority. In this case, he wanted to ensure the chance for a margin of error was as low as possible.
He oversaw every step of the transport, ensured the driver had the proper credentials and experience, and that everything went as smoothly as possible.
Once secure, the driver began the journey from Illinois to Texas.
