Tilden Mine Transformer
Moving A 200 Ton Transformer
In 2012, Hennes moved a 200 ton transformer for WE Energies from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Tilden Mine outside of Marquette, Michigan. This move required loading of the transformer onto our 250 ton trailer which was then pushed by our 500,000 lbs GVWR tractor onto a barge, secured, and sailed up to Marquette's port before being hauled on site. Once on site, the transformer was jacked up and slid via a dry-skidding system onto the pad where it was jacked down into final position.
