Deep South's Superior Jack and Slide Capabilities

With nearly 50 years of experience in the heavy lift and heavy haul industry, Deep South can overcome even the most challenging obstacles.

At a refinery in the Midwest, extreme spatial constraints and underground utilities offered little room for error. Deep South met this challenge by executing an 800' jack and slide operation, which allowed the vessels to overcome extremely low ground bearing pressures, less than 2" clearances, and a downhill slope.

Overcoming Obstacles

Pressed for Time

A vehicle manufacturer’s large stamping press—a massive machine used for shaping body panels—is online and operational thanks to efficient installation by Deep South. The three primary components included a 181-ton press bed (27.72’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H), 250-ton press crown (28.38’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H) and a 92-ton press slide (21’ x 10.83’ x 10.5’).

Multi-Module Mission

The heavy haul transport of oil and gas refinery components is always a challenge. Transporting 17 modules, all in the span of two weeks, raised the bar. The modules varied greatly in size and weight. Two of the modules exceeded 260,000 lbs., while 11 were more than 16’ high, three were more than 19’ high, and 13 had widths greater than 18’. Initially, the customer had trouble finding a company to move the modules to their site in Texas.
