Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

The compressor half of a Solar Titan 130 turbine compressor. Load is 21'L x 11'W x 12'H @ just over 108,000#. Loaded 106'L x 11'W x 14'6"H @ just over 179,000# gross. Kind of a boring load, but nice background for these pics...

 

Hey I really need one of those going to TX or FL. There was a piece listed by a broker but it needed 34' in the well and was only 89k.

Been ridiculously quiet for me since Thanksgiving.

 

Nothing outrageous, 24' long, 8' diameter, 72,000 lbs. with this trailer grossed 115,000. Unbelievable price tag on the piece, wish I was getting paid off the value of it.

 

What is it?

 

Turbine from a gas turbine at a power plant if I was guessing....

 

You would be correct Rontonio.

 

Not setting the world on fire, but been managing to pick up a decent number of 70-88,000 pound loads that pay decent. Picked up a 118,000 pound heat exchanger a couple of weeks ago, just a local Houston move but it wasn't bad.

Still cutting my teeth on the heavier stuff & soaking up all I can when I assist on local Superloads, have another one coming up this weekend.

 

That would have been the turbine side that powers this compressor then. I did one of that side back in May. Nice loads, boring to look at, and I don't like only having 4 points to put chains on, especially when you see the value on the customs paperwork!

 

I'm really surprised it wasn't crated! I know the values, that makes it even more shocking. These things normally get baby soft glove treatment.

 

What I can tell you is the broker was trying to retire on his cut based on the rate he was offering.

That is what I have been finding on the big crates, very few pints to tie to. Seems like someone would plan their way through this
