The Windmill Blade Hauling Process
Transporting oversized components requires meticulous planning and execution. We streamline every step—from securing permits to final unloading—ensuring your shipment arrives intact and on time. Here’s how we make it happen.
Step 1: Route Planning and Permits
Our team begins with detailed route analysis. Using LiDAR scans, we identify obstacles like low bridges on secondary roads. For example, the Bismarck-to-Minot corridor is optimized to avoid delays.
North Dakota’s Form T-3 permits for oversized loads are secured in-house. We handle all paperwork, including weight exemptions and escort vehicle requirements. No surprises, no delays.
Step 2: Secure Loading and Transport
Specialized 550-ton cranes load each component with manufacturer-approved protocols. Blades are secured in rotating cradles to prevent stress during transit.
For urban areas, we offer night transport to minimize disruptions. Real-time GPS tracking lets you monitor the shipment via our client portal.
“Our Bennett trailers with hydraulic steering navigate tight turns—even in flood-prone regions.”
Step 3: On-Time Delivery and Unloading
We pride ourselves on punctuality. A recent 85MW project was delivered two days early, thanks to our coordinated process.
Unloading follows strict OSHA and AWEA standards. Each crew is trained in rigging and equipment handling to ensure safety at every stage.
Safety First: Our Commitment to Secure Transport
Safety isn’t just a priority—it’s the foundation of every move we make. Your shipment’s security drives every decision, from equipment checks to real-time monitoring. We’ve perfected protocols that exceed DOT and AWEA standards, ensuring secure transport even in extreme conditions.
Pilot Car Escorts for Oversized Loads
Navigating tight corridors demands precision. Our 3-point escort system includes:
- Lead vehicles with 360° visibility to scout low bridges
- NDHP-approved chase cars equipped with emergency lighting
- Dedicated rear escorts for loads exceeding 200 feet
During the 2022 blizzard, this system ensured a 53-meter component arrived intact despite whiteout challenges.
Advanced Securement Techniques
We combat vibration and stress with engineered solutions:
- Wireless tilt meters and strain gauges for live load diagnostics
- ANSI/ASME BTH-1 compliant rigging, tested to 300% capacity
- Custom cribbing systems that distribute weight evenly
