REDMOND, Oreg. – September 17, 2024 – Trangistics, a leading logistics provider for complex construction projects, is proud to announce the acquisition of a specialized 90-ton perimeter trailer, enhancing the company’s ability to handle oversized, delicate, and heavy freight in high-specification situations. This new addition to the fleet enables Trangistics to meet the increasing demand for transporting large-scale, high-tech equipment for technically-demanding construction projects.
A perimeter trailer is a specialized flatbed designed to carry heavy-duty freight with a low-to-the-ground design that minimizes height restrictions—made for transporting large, fragile loads in tight spaces and low-clearance areas thanks to their steerable and versatile features. Due to their specialized nature and high cost, perimeter trailers are relatively rare in the logistics industry, making them a valuable asset for companies that regularly handle oversized loads. For construction contractors or project owners, they provide a competitive advantage by enabling more efficient transport, accessing hard-to-reach locations, and reducing additional costs related to height-clearance modifications. For Trangistics, the new equipment allows for the execution of complex projects that others may not be equipped to handle.
Designed to move freight up to 90 feet long, 16 feet wide, and weighing up to 180,000 pounds, the new Trangistics trailer’s standout features include an adjustable length and width, an 8-inch ground height for tall freight, and steerable axles for maneuvering tight spaces. These specifications offer unparalleled flexibility and protection for oversized equipment like large cooling units and e-houses, which are crucial for complex projects such as data center construction. In addition, the steerable, low-height trailer makes it possible to transport items, like rail cars, from facilities that were previously inaccessible due to height limitations.
“Our new perimeter trailer not only expands our reach into over-dimensional and heavy freight but also provides a more cost-effective solution for our customers,” said Joey Hougham, founder and CEO of Trangistics. “By significantly reducing the height of the load, we eliminate the need for costly support services like bucket trucks, while also offering the ability to access previously unreachable locations. This ensures that we can better serve industries requiring precision in their freight transportation.”
Overall, this acquisition benefits the construction industry’s more specialized projects—such as those featuring clean rooms or advanced HVAC systems—by streamlining their logistics and minimizing complications that come with moving niche items unique to their project type. With this new capability, Trangistics looks forward to opening new doors for clients and continuing to offer best-in-class solutions for challenging freight needs.
