Every shipment tells a unique story of its own. This month, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on a particularly noteworthy cargo: a Double Wall Skid Tank. This 12,000 gallon marvel journeyed from the Lone Star State of Texas to the picturesque expanses of Minnesota.
Specifications: Measuring at an imposing 39 feet in length, with dimensions of 7 feet 9 inches in width and 9 feet 5 inches in height, this Double Wall Skid Tank is not to be taken lightly. Its double-wall construction ensures enhanced durability and safety, while tipping the scales at a weighty 20,500 pounds, this titan of a tank demands nothing short of experienced logistics and expertise.
Challenges and Solutions: Transporting such a massive piece of equipment presented it’s fair share of challenges. While also requiring certain equipment for transport. We had to secure the tank without strapping over the tank. Strapping over the tank causes strap marks, making dunnage even more required for ensuring its safe passage every step of the way. Our Freight Management team worked tirelessly to streamline the transportation process.
Arrival: After 44 plus hours and 1,167 miles later, the Double Wall Skid Tank finally arrived at its destination in Minnesota, ready to fulfill its intended purpose. The tank was unloaded with precision and care, a testament to the dedication and expertise of our logistics team.
Conclusion: This featured shipment, although large in size, required our Full Truckload service and a 53′ step deck trailer. As we bid farewell to this remarkable shipment, we look forward to the next chapter in our ongoing quest to deliver excellence, one shipment at a time.
