 Bottle Washers to the Dominican

 Republic

Three bottle washers weighing

nearly 100,000 pounds moved

from St. Louis, Missouri to the C&D

National Brewery in the Dominican

Republic. These three bottle washers

were each at least 15-feet tall, nine-to 10-feet wide and 14- to 15-feet

long. Because of U.S. Department

of Transportation height restrictions

on over-the-road transport in certain

states, trucking was not an option.

Instead, Crowley turned to the rail

and an 89-foot flatcar in order to

have the washers arrive in Port Everglades for sailing. After

presenting blocking and bracing schematics to the railroad

for approval, the loads were cleared for transport. Later the

pieces were secured onto four 48-foot double drop lowboys

for their ocean voyage to the Dominican Republic.

76 Subway Cars to Puerto Rico

Seventy six subway cars

moved from Jacksonville, Fla.,

to San Juan, Puerto Rico for

use in the Tren Urbano project.

The 90-foot long railcars each

measured 10.51 feet wide,

15.83 feet high and weighed

142,530 pounds.

 Passenger Loading Airport

 Bridges to Puerto Rico and

 Haiti 

The shipment to Puerto Ricoconsisted of five, three-

tunnel airport passenger

boarding bridges and com-

ponent parts to the Luis

Muñoz Marín International

 Airport in Carolina, Puerto Rico. While the shipment to Haiti

included two more with component parts to be used in the

new American Airlines

terminal expansion at Toussaint Louverture International

 Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In both cases, the bridges

exceeded

53 feet in length while the total cargo volume associated

with the combined shipments was over 5,000 cubic meters.

110,000-Pound Boiler to

 Honduras

Crowley safely delivered an

enormous boiler from Jamestown,

KY to Choloma, Honduras. The

boiler measured 35 feet long, 12

feet wide, 15 feet high, and weighed

a staggering 110,000 pounds. The

boiler was lifted onto a custom

lowboy at the port by a crane

that Crowley had contracted for this specific move, and

loaded aboard a Crowley vessel for transit to Puerto Cortez,

Honduras. At 15 feet high, when the boiler was loaded on the

special Crowley five axle lowboy, the load measured 18 feet

7 inches high, well over the standard maximum height of most

interstates but acceptable for inland transit in Honduras.

 Double Stack Railcars for the Panama Railway 

 A special service contract with

the Panama Canal Railway

Company (PCRC), owned by the

Kansas City Southern Railway(KCS) and Mi-Jack Corporation

called for Crowley to move 29

former TTX double-stack well

cars from the end of the Florida

East Coast Railway (FEC) track

in Port Everglades, Fla., to the

beginning of the PCRC track in Manzanillo, Panama. Each of

the units consisted of five cars connected as if they were one

long articulated car making the total unit more than 200-feet

long. Each unit had five wells capable of holding two 40-foot

containers stacked.

 Rock Crushing Plant to Guatemala

 A rock crushing plant madeits way from the United

States to El Progreso,

Guatemala thanks to

Crowley. The crusher moved

on two 48-foot flatbeds

and one 48-foot stepdeck.

There were also two tow-

able units weighing approxi-

mately 96,000 pounds each.

 Additional shipments, which

occurred over three months, included five excavators, con-

crete trucks, five dump trucks, two cranes, two bulldozers,

motor graders, two wheel loaders, water trucks and a vibra-

tory roller.

1,148-Foot Roller Coaster

to Costa Rica

Thirty-six loads of roller

coaster track and parts

moved with Crowley from

Pennsylvania to San Jose,

Costa Rica. With some

parts topping 60-feet in

length, only Crowley’s RO/RO ships could accomodate the

move. Once the coaster named the Bocaraca was assem-

bled it stood 64-feet tall and takes riders to speeds topping

37 miles per hour.

Water Heater to Honduras

The 24’ x 14’ x 15’ water

heater was shipped from

Texas to Honduras. The

company

provided a double-drop

lowboy flatbed in Gulfport

for the load and the cargo

sailed and arrived in Puerto

Cortes, Honduras four

days later. Once offload-

ed, specialized truckers and security escorts were engaged

by Crowley to move the piece from the port to a plant located

in Potrerillos.
