Kenco Bucket Trucks was honored to contribute to this historic move, beginning at Ellington Field. Kenco handled all the utility line and traffic light lifting. For anything that had to be moved or raised, Kenco was there to do it. Over the course of a few nights, the Boeing slowly but safely made its way to its final home at Space Center Houston. ## Freight Stats - **WEIGHT:** 135,000 lbs. - **WIDTH:** 29 ft. - **HEIGHT:** 34 ft. - **LENGTH:** 189 ft. ![Kenco Shuttle Carrier 05](https://www.highloads.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KENCO_ShuttleCarrier_5.png) ## A Word from the Road Since 1977, NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft have safely ferried all NASA Orbiters, including the first prototype Orbiter, the Enterprise.
