Casper, Wyo.-based Transportation Partners and Logistics LLC (TP&L) has acquired two new cranes to further the company’s reach in transporting oversized and overweight cargo across the supply chain, including wind power and oil and gas projects throughout North America.
The new purchases include a Liebherr LR 1300 SX crawler crane for the company’s largest distribution center, located in Garden City, Kan., and a Terex HC 285 crawler crane in its Enid, Okla., location, which was purchased through Wyoming Machinery Co.
With these recent purchases, TP&L will be able to extend its offload of wind tower components and transformers from rail to truck while in the yard and will allow for exceptionally large equipment to be moved, stored or delivered to a job site on time. Specifically, the company says it is preparing for the increase in size of wind energy components.
“TP&L is pleased to announce these most recent strategic crane acquisitions, as we are proudly an asset-based company, which will allow us to better bid and win jobs because our equipment is our own and we don’t have to rely on subcontractors to help us deliver the quality of service we extend to our customers,” says Jim Orr, president and co-founder of TP&L. “As we look ahead to new opportunities and business ventures, these cranes will help us continue to focus on moving, storing and delivering our customers’ equipment on time and without error.”
