At Streamline Heavy Haul, every project comes with unique challenges—and opportunities to demonstrate our expertise. Recently, our team successfully managed the movement of 93,000 lbs of industrial batteries from the Port of Long Beach, CA to Illinois, a shipment that required meticulous planning, port coordination, and specialized equipment.
The journey began at the Port of Long Beach, where the batteries arrived on flat racks. Due to the weight and dimensions of the cargo, the first step was stripping the cargo from the flat racks. This process required precise scheduling with the port, as time slots for stripping are limited and must be coordinated well in advance.
Our team arranged for a dedicated crew and equipment to safely strip the flat racks, ensuring that the cargo was handled without delays or additional port storage charges.
With the batteries secured, our experienced carriers began the journey from California to Illinois. Oversize and overweight shipments like this require:
Special permits in every state traveled.
Route planning to avoid restricted roads and low-clearance bridges.
Driver expertise in handling heavy loads safely over long distances.
Through proactive coordination, we minimized downtime, maintained compliance, and ensured the cargo arrived safely at the delivery site.
Hauling 93,000 lbs of specialized cargo is far more than “just another load.” It requires:
Precise scheduling with ports to strip containers and flat racks.
Expert transloading and rigging teams for safe handling.
Specialized trailers and equipment for overweight hauling.
Nationwide permitting and route management to remain compliant.
Constant communication between all parties involved.
At Streamline Heavy Haul, backed by Golden Bridge International, we pride ourselves on managing these complex moves with efficiency, transparency, and professionalism. Every step of this project showcased how preparation and expertise turn challenges into success stories.
