When you ship with Cargoways, you can be sure that we will get the job done no matter how big or small. If you think it will be impossible, well, that just inspires us further to meet the new challenge head on.
Recently, we were contacted by a customer to move a very special block of granite from Brazil to their facility in Wisconsin. The block weighed close to 44 metric tons (that’s 97,000 pounds), with dimensions of about 8’ x 8’ x 8’.
The challenges involved in this movement began with the quarry in Brazil locating a truck able to move a block of this size to the port, finding the right ocean carrier with equipment to handle static (non-wheeled) cargo of this size, to locating a heavy hauler to safely transport this block from the US port through to our customer’s yard in Wisconsin.
From here, there is no doubt that this beautiful stone will be fashioned into a spectacular piece of artwork by the expert stone artisans at Quarra Stone.
All this is evidence that at Cargoways, there are no limits to our capabilities! Call us with your special challenge and we will get the job done !
