🚛💪 Moving Giants: The Role of Heavy Haul Trailers in Florida's Heavy Transport 💪🚛 Let’s start this Monday of 🙌 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week in a big way! 🚛💪 Florida’s high infrastructure demands often require moving massive, heavy loads like turbines, transformers, and construction materials. Different types of Heavy Haul Trailers are used to carry these oversized loads safely. Here are a few key types: High Girder Bridge Trailers: Perfect for transporting extremely tall and heavy loads, like turbines and transformers. Multi-Axle Trailers: Used for balancing and distributing weight across multiple axles, ideal for large construction equipment. Extendable Trailers: Designed for extra-long items like beams and pipes, with the ability to adjust length as needed. Lowboy Trailers: Known for their low deck height, they can carry heavy, tall machinery, making them a staple in the heavy haul industry. Why are these trailers so unique? Heavy haul trailers are specialized to balance and distribute extremely heavy loads, allowing transport of large items through Florida’s roads without damaging infrastructure. They’re essential for keeping Florida’s construction and energy projects moving forward. 🏗️⚡ 🙌 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week gives us a chance to celebrate the drivers who move Florida’s biggest and heaviest loads, keeping the state’s economy strong. Without them, these monumental tasks wouldn’t be possible! 🔗 Check out an example of this trucking muscle in action in Florida: https://lnkd.in/ey-AYFgS #ThankATrucker #NTDAW Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) American Trucking Associations, Florida Trucking Association

At first glance the difference is obvious: one features a wire rope or cable, the other has a chain. But the differences run a little deeper than they first appear. Here’s all you need to know about the battle of chain hoist vs wire rope hoist to ensure you pick the right piece of lifting equipment for your situation. 👇👇👇 #ChainHoist #WireRopeHoist #ElectricHoist #Stratalign

Can primary fenders break down during ship-to-ship operations? Primary Fenders are designed to withstand large amounts of force during vessel contact in STS Operations. The size of a fender correlates directly with the reaction force it can manage, thereby determining the energy absorption capacity. Despite their robust design, fender failure remains a reality, as evidenced by STS statistics from DYNAMARINe OSIS. https://lnkd.in/dxrQ_k_M To enhance industry awareness, we have compiled potential causes of such failures. Therefore, pneumatic fender failure may be attributed to any of the following factors: 1. High lateral vessel contact velocity during the approaching phase. Increased landing velocity exerts high pressure on the fender. 2. Damaged Safety Valve. The fender will likely fail if the safety valve does not function properly. 3. Increased fouling on the fender rubber body. If the fender is kept for a long period at sea, it should be cleaned from fouling. Fouling increases abrasion and friction on the rubber body. 4. Worn, damaged, slag, or rusted chains on the net increase the risk of contacting the rubber body with sharp edges. 5. Loosen chain net and damaged tires. A substandard net will increase the abrasion of the fender body and may cause rupture. 6. Overtightness of fender pennant ropes during the STS. The fender should be able to move freely forward and aft rather than hanging tight from the pennants. Changes on the vessel's freeboard should be considered accordingly. 7. Damaged wire pennants will eventually scratch the fender's rubber body. They should be inspected and replaced when needed. 8. Chemical solvents wrongly applied at the outer liner may accelerate rubber aging and deterioration. 9. Wrong Fender selection. Each rendering scheme is designed for a specific STS vessel combination. 10. Falsified maintenance records and wrong safety management process. 11. Wrong handling while lifting with cranes. 12. Overpressure of fender. If the internal pressure is not the one prescribed by the manufacturer, there is a risk of fender failure. In conclusion, the fender will fail due to substandard maintenance, incorrect adjustment of guy ropes, or wrong selection.
