Some PBT customers have very specialized needs in terms of transporting heavy or unusually shaped items. Frequently, these moves are made by barge to the Port of New Orleans for future overseas shipment. In other instances, the moves may be from barges to dock for disassembly and then shipment by truck or rail - or, conversely, from rail or trucks to the dock for loading onto barges. Over the years, PBT has handled special lifts up to 250,000 lbs and pieces of equipment in all shapes and sizes - some requiring specially constructed blocking and dunnage.

Some examples of these types of operations follow:

  • Construction equipment
  • Mining vehicles
  • Generator sets
  • National Guard equipment (tanks, etc.)
  • Containers
