Dismantle, load, transport, offload and reinstall entire plant from Mexico to Norman, OK and Wichita, KS. Machinery included: presses, shears, assembly lines, ovens, and more.  The project required extensive planning and communication with border authorities and was finished ahead of the one-month timeline. 

TCR relocated & helped install seven envelope folding machines between Wahoo, NE; Huntington, IN; Tulsa, OK & Dallas, TX.

The challenging installation required movement of the generator through a door over a suspended floor and then lowering approx. 8 ft. to its foundation.  Taylor custom-designed, engineered and fabricated (2) 8” transfer beams and additional rigging gear to accomplish the tight movement through the door and to the foundation.
The entire job was performed without incident and to the satisfaction of our client (Fairbanks), the owner (Clay Center Public Utilities Commission) and the Kansas DOT.

The second problem concerned access to the equipments’ new foundations. Construction issues required access from the side of the foundation instead of the ends as originally planned.
This required jacking and lifting the turbine and generator from the ends, which would require a longer and substantially stronger lifting beam than TCR had in its arsenal. With some quick thinking, Taylor realized both problems could be solved with some modification and fabrication to a trailer deck in its fleet. The trailer deck, if extended, could be used as a “bridge jumper” to cross the bridge. The deck could also be modified to be used as a lifting beam to solve the foundation access problem.

The job went as planned, without incident or injury and to everyone’s complete satisfaction, especially the clients Sega and Empire.
The Kansas Dept of Transportation determined that the super load movement of the generator, with a gross weight of 788,590 pounds on 19 axles, was the heaviest load ever moved on county and state roads in Kansas to date.

TCR relocated an 80,000 lb specialty Griffon Grinder that was made to grind landing gear. It was moved from Kansas City to Tulsa for American Airlines. Work included dismantling, load out, transportation and installation.

Taylor Crane & Rigging supplied supervision, manpower and equipment to unload 135k lbs press and move it inside the building, stand up & set press on new concrete pad as direct-ed by Pryer Aerospace and Beck Wood Triform technicians.

Taylor Crane & Rigging supplied supervision, manpower and equipment to install 200,000 lb tube bundle with three Versa-Lifts, overhead crane and lifting bars. Project was completed on time with no injuries. Our client remarked, “As always, Michael and his crew did a wonderful job.”
