A recent bridge collapse over the Yellowstone River near Columbus, MT, disrupted transportation for multiple companies, including Boeing. Moving fifteen 737 fuselages to their Washington State assembly plant became urgent, requiring trailers with ample deck space and stability.
Omega Morgan engaged Steve Sharp Transportation Inc., a logistics provider near the collapsed bridge, to deploy two Faymonville DualMAX trailers for transporting the fuselages. These trailers offered the perfect combination of support, modularity, and safety.
Simultaneously, Global Specialized Services collaborated with Crane Masters to move twenty-two railcars around the affected zone using Faymonville HighwayMAX trailers. The trailers’ advanced design ensured efficient transport of both fuselages and replacement bridge components needed for reconstruction.
Steve Sharp Transportation utilized four HighwayMAX and two DualMAX trailers. Faymonville’s modular design allowed operators to configure trailers from various components to meet specific transport needs. The DualMAX trailers provided stability and support for oversized fuselages, while HighwayMAX trailers collapsed to 68′ and extended to 104′ on-site, offering unmatched flexibility for 9+ axle operations.
Faymonville trailers feature industry-leading 60-degree max steering angles, enabling precise navigation through confined areas. This advanced steering technology allowed heavy haul operations to proceed without compromising safety or efficiency.
The operation succeeded due to seamless coordination between Steve Sharp Transportation, Global Specialized Services, Omega Morgan, Boeing, BNSF Railway, Montana DOT, and the Federal Highway Administration. Using Faymonville trailers, all fuselages, railcars, and bridge components were delivered on time with minimal disruptions, showcasing the reliability and versatility of these specialized trailers.
