When a longtime utility customer needed a 550,000-pound transformer moved and installed, Belger got the call. A 500-ton hydraulic skidding system and 12-line self-propelled modular transporter (SPMT) were used to move the weighty transformer from storage.

Tight turns challenged the crew on this job. A truck and trailer wouldn’t have been capable of handling the load and getting it into position, so Belger opted for the SPMT. Because of concerns about ground bearing pressures and surface protection over underground utilities, the crew placed composite mats down before moving the transformer.

The project, which took five days to complete this spring, went off without a hitch. Service at the power plant was critical to the utility company, with whom Belger has a long history. They wanted efficient project completion and Belger had the right plan for the job.

When your move requires the expertise of a heavy-lift specialist, "Better Call Belger." Visit Belger.net to learn more about our moving services or contact us at 800-888-2547.

Many thanks to our customer for calling on us for this and many projects for over 80 years! Congratulations to the Belger-Lenexa crew for a job well-done: Drivers William Byers, Darryl Ford, William Harper, Matt Hartzler, Justin Stiffler; and operators Jarred Brotherton, Dylan Cruz, John Peffly, and Nate Wolf.

Yesterday at Riverfest members of the Belger-Wichita team had fun participating in Touch-A-Truck, where families got a free, hands-on experience with construction equipment, dumpster trucks, emergency vehicles, and Belger’s 110-ton Link-Belt hydraulic truck crane and Kenworth four-axle tractor truck.

Assistant division manager Larry Driscoll, crane operator Jason Summers, and oiler Trenton Johnson enjoyed raising kids into the equipment to explore, showing them how it works (including the air horn), and observing their expressions of curiosity and amazement. A big “thank you” to the Belger-Wichita crew for taking time to share their knowledge with a new generation.

We’re grateful to Wichita’s KAKE News for spotlighting Belger!

June is National Safety Month, so we thought we’d share a photo of Larry Driscoll (center right in black jacket), Belger-Wichita’s Assistant Division Manager conducting a safety meeting with the crew on a winter construction project. Safety has always been a pillar in Belger’s value system, guiding our practices and ensuring the well-being of our team and customers for over a century. We sincerely appreciate our customers for entrusting us with their projects.

The crew on this project consisted of: Oklahoma City foreman Roy Martin Jr., Wichita crane operator Jason Summers, heavy haulers Jarrett Moore and John Parker, and riggers Hugo Castillo Jr. and Michael Kane. Photo provided by Wichita project manager Mike Dealy.

Pool season has started, and we can’t think of a better time to highlight a Belger-Wichita project involving the removal and replacement of pool humidifiers at an area YMCA. Because it had rained prior to project day, plating was placed on grassy areas where the crane was to set up to prevent damage to the lawn. The new humidifiers that were in storage at the Belger yard, were transported to the project site, and Belger’s 250-ton Link-Belt all-terrain crane was carefully navigated to swap out the old units with the new ones.

We thank our customer for calling on Belger and we congratulate the Belger-Wichita crew on the safe completion of this project: crane operator Jason Summers; drivers Michael Appleman, Jarrett Moore, John Parker; foreman Joe Cupich; ironworker Mark Childress; and oiler Shawn Hunt. Photo provided by project manager Mike Dealy.

Belger has hoisted, transported, and warehoused the most delicate sculptures to the heaviest industrial equipment for decades. Visit Belger.net for information about our services.

Happy Anniversary to IT Specialist Ray Johnson. For 11 years he’s been the epitome of cool, calm, and collected as he patiently helps Belger employees at all our division locations resolve technical issues.

His knowledge, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities are invaluable to Belger, and we thank him for his years of service and commitment to excellence. We appreciate the dedication of Ray and his fellow IT team members for supporting the company’s technology needs.

When he’s not at Belger, you may not recognize a helmeted Ray Johnson (pictured here) riding around town on his motorcycle.

Belger is proud to celebrate the women who work throughout the company. Women have been instrumental to the company’s establishment and success, dating back to Bertha Wilms Belger, whose nest egg helped husband and founder Richard Belger purchase the company’s first truck in 1919. Belger has grown and changed from a trucking company with a few cranes, to a crane and rigging company that performs specialized hauling services and provides warehousing. President Evelyn Craft Belger is the fourth-generation leader of Belger Cartage Service, Inc. and the first woman to hold the position. We are thankful to the dedication of the women and all members of Belger’s family of highly trained individuals who are committed to our customers and communities in which we work.
