28 truckloads / 925,000lbs export shipment- KMX completed a time sensitive project that required KMX to transport (28) truckloads from customer’s WV facility to KMX / MAX’s Hamburg, PA warehouse, export package / prep, deliver packaged equipment to USEC port, and ocean transportation to Europe (including customs formalities)… Due to customer’s contract requirements, the shipment timeline was short requiring the US portion to be completed within (3) weeks of KMX being awarded the project. With +1100 line items of equipment, KMX’s cargo management software (along with customer’s detailed inventory method) allowed KMX to streamline the export preparation process to meet customer’s deadline.

KMX crews rigged out and loaded a +150,000lb machine onto KMX’s 13 axle trailer. Because of the building’s height restrictions, the trailer’s bed had to be disassembled and positioned under the machine, while KMX’s 400 ton gantry system suspended the machine. Exiting the facility, the doorway only allowed 1/2″ clearance on either side of the 30′ long machine… with hydraulic trailer steering (and +35yr driver experience), KMX personnel made the whole project look like an ordinary equipment loadout. Great job guys!

One stop service – KMX recently delivered the first two truckloads of a 22 truckload project. With COVID disrupting the site construction schedule earlier in the year, site contractors needed location(s) to divert equipment until needed . Given KMX’s location, warehouse size, and services offered, KMX was selected as a staging facility for this PA construction project. Thanks to Dickinson Crane Services for utilizing KMX’s facility and providing cranes for inbound and outbound handlings.

Rigging services – Due to crane issues, KMX was approached by a good client with a 24hr response time to mobilize and load a +120,000 lb unit. The scope included moving the 80′ x 15′ x 13′ lwh unit from storage area to the facility’s loading bay. KMX was able to coordinate operations, and the unit was loaded in less than 24 hrs of the initial contact.

It’s been several months since the last shipment.. shown is the 5th (of 6) +270,000lb mill roll KMX packaged for export and secured to the railcar for this project. With a tight shipping window the railcar is heading to USEC port for shipment to the end customer.

Packed and ready – KMX’s customer requested a quick packaging turnaround for these (2) 70,000lb units. With the port cutoff a few days away, these units are departing KMX’s Hamburg, PA for ocean shipment to project jobsite . KMX’s customer is more than pleased with the quick service as Incoterm contract language will allow sales recognition within the current month.

KMX crews just completed the packaging and railroad car securing of a 204,000lb rolling mill roll.
KMX’s Rigging Crew have already been dispatched to another site to pack & secure some heavier rolls. Stay tuned.
