Heavy Hauling Team Has Epic Road Trip with Crane
O’Hare Towing Service & Semi Truck Heavy Duty Wrecker Service & Semi Truck Heavy Duty Wrecker’s heavy hauling team was tasked with delivering a brand new crane to it’s new owner in Maywood, IL. The only catch? The crane was currently sitting across the country in Pennsylvania!
The heavy hauling team made the 580 mile trip to Bellwood, PA, with their new quad-axle tractor. Thankfully, the trip was uneventful and they made it to the pick-up location on time. Seeing as the crane weighed a bit over 126,000 lbs, the heavy hauling team needed to take a permitted route for the trip.
While the route allowed the team to stay on the interstate for the majority of the journey, it also took them on a more scenic journey. For around 100 miles, the heavy hauling team needed to take a mountain road with an average grade of 9%!
Many tractors would have an issue with a 9% incline while hauling nearly 130,000 lbs but O’Hare’s new quad-axle tractor made it look easy! Once the 580 mile journey was complete (for the second time that week!), the heavy hauling team delivered the crane to its proud new owner.
Fantastic work out there team!
