Highly Specialized Transport: Expertly Shipping Three Oversize Silos From Georgia

Penta Engineering Corporation reached out to Craig because the manager needed an expert to transport three massive silos from Georgia to Florida.


Craig Greene is the Logistics Manager of our Jacksonville, Florida, branch. His experience includes:


  • Dozens of successful oversize load transports
  • Expert knowledge of state-to-state shipping regulations
  • High safety record
  • Strong reputation for client transport and delivery satisfaction

  • Width: 13.60'
  • Weight: 28,000 lbs

Oversize Silos Hauling: Step-by-Step Preparation

Because the silos are massive, Craig took extra time to prepare the transport. He covered every detail, ensuring that the oversize silos transport had the best likelihood of a successful delivery.

When transporting heavy equipment, like the oversize silos, there are several things to take into account, including:

  • Safety of the crew
  • Safety of the motorists on the road
  • Having the proper permits
  • Ensuring the route is safe
  • Getting a specialized trailer
  • And more

Thanks to Craig's years of experience, he had the confidence and know-how to prepare everything properly. His attention to detail impressed and provided confidence for the client as well.

How To Load Oversize Silos For Safe Transport

Craig contracted three highly specialized Double Drop Stretch RGN Trailers (dedicated trailers to haul silos or tanks).


It's difficult to obtain one double drop stretch RGN trailer, let alone three, but Craig has several connections and was able to partner with experienced drivers for the job.


To safely load the oversize silos onto the trailer, Craig enlisted a rigging crew to lift the silos onto the trailers with a crane.


The team took extreme care when moving the silos onto the trailers. Because of their over-dimensional size, it's easy for the simplest thing to go wrong and cause a disaster.


Craig insisted that everyone pay attention to detail and adhere to top safety standards to avoid that.


The crane operator rested the silos on metal cradles on the double drop stretch RGN trailer. Once safely resting in the cradles, to avoid rolling or shifting, the team used straps to secure each silo in place safely.


After triple checking that the team correctly secured the silos, Craig approved the convoy to embark on their 398-mile journey.

Delivering The Oversize Silos to Florida On-Time

The convoy required escort vehicles and pole cars because of the oversize load nature of the silos.

Pilot cars and escort vehicles accompany oversize loads to ensure the safety of everyone involved, especially motorists on the road.

Thanks to Craig and the team's efficiency, the convoy arrived before the scheduled delivery time.


Each driver had to perform a 17-point turn to back the silos into place safely. The drivers had the silos in place for the cranes before they arrived. The experience and efficiency of the drivers ensured that the oversize silos transport avoided any potential hazards.


Craig's expert actions and work delegation throughout his team impressed Penta Engineering Corporation.


  • Value Of Cargo Each: $150,000.00
  • Total Value of Three Silos: $450,000.00
