Awarded SC&RA Rigging Job of the Year 2005

Provided complete rigging and transport services to move and install (1) 32/40 generator set. The V-18 power generator weighed 334,000 lbs and made its way from Germany to the Houston Port by ship, and then by rail to Manhattan, KS.
Taylor utilized its 600-ton jacking system to lift and transfer the generator from rail car to a dual lane transport dolly system, for the 40 mile haul from Manhattan to Clay Center, which required DOT approval and movement over long span bridges.
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.
