On January 7, 2020, Dagen Trucking began assisting NAK-Kiln Services in replacing three sections of a kiln at Norlite in Cohoes, NY. Norlite manufactures ceramic materials used in masonry, bridge construction, and other applications, and uses large rotary kilns in the process.
Dagen transported the three sections out and moved the new pieces in, using our Oshkosh prime mover and oilfield trailer. This job required 24-hour service from our drivers, as plants like this can’t be shut down for more than a few days. Rotating two 12-hour shifts, Dagen helped complete an expected three-day job in just a day and a half.
This year Dagen added to their Albany-based headquarters and storage warehouses by investing in an additional warehouse on the Port of Albany.
Dagen’s new Port of Albany warehouse is a heavy-lift, climate-controlled warehouse with access to a 1,000-ton Gantry crane, and 12-line Faymonville self-propelled trailers on site. The warehouse also has access to a roll on/roll off dock. This allows Dagen to receive shipments straight off of the water. This dock also gives Dagen the ability to receive and haul/store massive pieces of freight, such as; wind turbines, generators and train car shells.
Earlier this year, Dagen Trucking worked in partnership with American Transport Systems, and Bellemare to haul the first ever 3X superload being produced by GE!. We hauled the windmill blades to their new home at the Big Level Wind Project in Westfield, Pennsylvania. The windmill blades help complete the tallest windmills in the Northern Hemisphere, standing at a total of 660 feet in height.
