OMNITRANS was set to play an important role in the 2010 Winter Olympic efforts by the Canadian city of Vancouver. OMNITRANS planned and organized the transportation of four reels of cable, weighing up to 90 tons (200,000 lbs) from the manufacturer in Romanshorn, Switzerland up to Whistler Mountain at 2,200 m (7,150 feet).

The transportation aroused interest of international press and TV-media. Especially the last few miles – up to the 2,200m high mountain top, where the Peak2Peak gondola is transporting skiers since the opening in December 2008, was fascinating. Up to six trucks pulled and pushed the cargo up 21.5% incline. Read more here!
Our latest project was a steel manipulator from Germany to Pennsylvania. The tricky part was its weight of 226 ton (almost 500,000 lbs). Separated into three parts, the manipulator was moved from Germany via New York to Pennsylvania. The most interesting part was moving it from NY deep into the heartland of steal in Pennsylvania – where we had to close roads, obtain police escorts and find a route without low bridges or narrow turns.
