HULCHER PROJECT SNAPSHOT
Hulcher Forklift and Crew Perform Load Adjustment on Load of Roofing Tiles
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Eighteen pallets of roofing tiles on a center beam railcar shifted during transit, crushing their pallets and damaging the banding. Hulcher sent a crew of five personnel, a forklift, replacement pallets and a banding machine to remedy the problem.
The crew unloaded the roofing materials onto the new pallets and the Hulcher forklift placed them back on the car. Once the pallets were properly positioned, the crew used the banding machine to secure the load with 1.5” steel band, cabling and 2” x 6” wood pieces in accordance with AAR standards.
The customer needed this job done quickly to reduce expenses resulting from shipping delay; Hulcher’s crew deployed to the jobsite and completed the work in five hours.
Railroads and grain, coal, and industrial facilities across the country trust Hulcher’s experience to perform tie-down, transfer, load adjustment and load reduction projects like this each year.
