At Kenneth Clark Co., we specialize in moving the freight that others can’t—or won’t. This month’s featured shipment showcases exactly that: a massive piece of asphalt plant equipment transported safely and efficiently from Rhode Island to Tennessee.
-
Cargo: Asphalt drum / asphalt plant equipment
-
Dimensions: 52’ 0” L x 11’ 6” W x 11’ 0” H
-
Weight: 104,000 lbs
-
Route: Rhode Island ➜ Tennessee
-
Service Type: Oversize / Overweight specialized transport
When dealing with freight that stretches over 50 feet long and tips the scale at more than 100,000 pounds, precision matters. Our team coordinated every detail—from permitting and routing to specialized loading equipment and oversize escort vehicles.
-
Routing: The 11’6″ width and 11′ height required careful route surveys to avoid low clearances and tight infrastructure.
-
Permitting: Oversize/overweight permits were secured across all required states.
-
Equipment: A multi-axle lowboy was selected to support the unit’s weight and maintain proper balance during transit.
After a successful loading in Rhode Island, the freight began its multi-state journey toward Tennessee. Our operations team monitored the move in real time, staying in constant communication with the driver and ensuring all escorts, curfews, and state requirements were met without delay.
Despite the complexity, the shipment arrived safely and on schedule—another example of Kenneth Clark Co.’s commitment to high-stakes heavy-haul performance.
