Kenco escorts two superloads over 2,500 miles.

In Q1 of 2018, a moving and rigging company completed the transportation of two superloads. They transported a steam turbine generator and steam turbine from Houston, Texas to the Chinook Power Station in Saskatchewan, Canada. Kenco Bucket Trucks was contracted to clear aerial and roadside obstacles in the path of the larger load for the 2,600-mile transport to the Canadian border.
