Russian
Helicopter
Owens Leasing arranged the transport of this Russian Helicopter from Ft Bliss, TX to Niceville, FL in October 2011. Special cradles had to be built to support the Helo as well. As with any interesting-looking load, special precautions also had to be taken to insure that onlookers were not allowed to get too close while parked as well as safe distances kept while on the road for those trying to snap a picture. There are just some of the considerations we take into account when handling our customers’ freight.

Steam Turbine
Owens Leasing was contracted by Sulzer Hickham to move a Cat 2 Steam Turbine from their facility in La Porte, TX to the BOC plant operated by Innovene USA, LLC in Lima, OH. This project was of utmost importance as this plant in Ohio is the only manufacturer in the USA of the main by-product for Insulin and that plant was on shut-down until this piece arrived. The Turbine was over-dimensional (9’11” wide) which caused problems as night-movement is not allowed for such O.D. loads. Owens Leasing and Sulzer coordinated to arrange for Team Drivers to allow every minute of daylight hours in order to make a quick delivery to the plant in Ohio. Owens Leasing drivers Charles Smith and Frances Parks handled the move and made it to delivery 12 hours ahead of schedule. Teamwork like this is why Owens Leasing and Sulzer Hickham make a great team. |
New York Power
Authority
In
2000,
Owens
Leasing
coordinated
the
moved of
almost
1000
loads to
New York
City for
the New
York
Power
Authority.
One of
the
greatest
concerns
was the
delivery
times of
the
panels
for the
exhaust
stacks.
The
panels
were 12’
wide and
would
only
allow
the
trucks
to move
during
daylight
hours.
After a
trip to
inspect
the
panels,
Randy
Owens
helped
engineer
a way to
move the
panels
as legal
loads by
fabricating
a
structure
to lean
the
panels
against. |
