This blog covers the world of heavy industrial logistics with a keen focus on tank hauling services and the transportation of heat exchangers. We examine the logistics of these bulky items and what goes into executing a successful move – and how we at Sethi International deal with these hurdles. You’ll understand how businesses take advantage of strategic transportation and what’s needed before relocating such massive equipment. We discuss smart planning, safety measures, and more novice-friendly terms.
Thinking about the oil & gas or power plants or manufacturing units often brings to mind the image of enormous machines that run 24/7. But have you ever thought about how these heavy machines even get to these sites? That is where tank hauling services and heat exchanger transportation come into play.
It's not as simple as transporting a box when it comes to moving and industrial heat exchangers or tanks. These are oversized, extremely heavy, and delicate structures that need special care. A single wrong move could mean serious delays or damage costing thousands. This is why Sethi International and other expert logistics companies tend to specialize in such sensitive cargo.
Transporting large items such as tanks and heat exchangers is not a simple matter. It takes time, a long time.
Wheels are not turning until the best route is determined. Are the roads suitable? Will the bridges support the weight? These are preliminary questions that we must consider.
We own tank hauling trailers and truck units. The transportation of heat exchangers requires the use of a hydraulic platform to evenly distribute the weight during movement to minimize damage.
The safety of people during movement operations is of primary concern. We maintain transport safety of our employees, your equipment, and public property.
Picture a scenario where you are constructing a new refinery and the tanks arrive in a damaged state. That sets back your timeline by months. Nobody wants to be in that situation. Tank hauling services help minimize this risk.
With the use of these services, clients are guaranteed:
Prompt delivery
Careful handling
Skilled management
Minimized delays
We at Sethi International provide tank hauling services with expert support and real-time monitoring so you can track where your equipment is at every stage.
The most important challenge with heat exchanger transportation is planning due to their significant weight, averaging in the tens of tons, and their sophisticated geometric shapes.
Also, they are sensitive and can easily be harmed.
For a heat exchanger transportation project to be successful, proper weather and road conditions must be in place, including protection from vibrations.
With appropriate modern tools and expert training, heat exchangers can be safely delivered.
At Sethi International, we develop tailored logistics, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches. Each piece of equipment is different, hence our transport solution is different every time.
Track sensitive equipment before transport
Select correct hauling instruments
Design optimized route maps
Customize updates and information provided to customers
Our personalized approach ensures your shipment is expertly handled.
Falling into these traps can make any company seem inexperienced, even if they are seasoned.
Ignoring route planning
Not checking weight restrictions
Using the wrong type of trailer
Working too fast and skipping safety inspections
When it comes to heat exchanger transportation or tank hauling services, the most costly approach is taking shortcuts. We prefer the safe, long route.
One of our clients in Rajasthan required the delivery of three enormous tanks to the new refinery site. Roads were narrow, terrain was rough, and time was limited.
Completed the preliminary assessment
Provided police escorts for metropolitan areas
Employed modular trailers for better weight distribution
That refinery is currently operational. We finished work well ahead of the planned schedule.
If the item is over 20 feet in length.
If it weighs more than 10 tons.
If the item is sensitive or high-value.
Professional support in all these cases is just a call away at Sethi International.
You may not know this but hire us when you prepare your transport and we promise to move faster if you:
Strip out all excess weight by cleaning the equipment.
Insure that there are no loose parts.
Mark fragile areas.
Attach detailed diagrams.
We are better equipped to deal with your equipment if you take these steps.
These prices differ based on:
Duration of travel.
Dimensions and weight.
Required equipment.
