WATCH | Barnhart’s 745km heavy haul through Canada
21 August 2026
Barnhart Canada’s team in Acheson, Alberta completed a seven-day heavy haul operation in Edmonton involving a large tapered industrial column.
The unit measured 77.64 metres long, 6.5 metres wide and 7.92 metres high, and weighed nearly 530 tonnes. The load rode on 352 tyres over 745 kilometres.
A gantry system loaded the column onto self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT), with three cranes transferring it to highway trailers for the road journey.
