How do you make a proven system even better?

Start with what operators and technicians deal with when something needs adjustment or troubleshooting.

R&D Engineer Thomas Powderly is upgrading the controls on our new MOCCs 1700 to reduce analog wiring and allow the system’s computers to communicate more efficiently.

The result is a system that’s easier to troubleshoot, easier to connect to and capable of remote parameter adjustments.

Pair that with more capacity and adjustable fork length, and the MOCCs 1700 has quite a few new tricks up its sleeve.

Energized power lines overhead. Equipment access from only one side. And a bridge that still had to come out.

Barnhart combined PSTe, pull-up gantries and a hydraulic lift-and-slide system to cantilever beyond the roadway, lift the bridge and pull it into position for dismantling and loadout.

Watch how our team made it happen.

A new era of nuclear energy is taking shape—and Barnhart is helping move it forward, one lift at a time. ☢️

As military installations and AI data centers seek increasingly reliable power, portable nuclear reactors are emerging as a potential part of the solution.

In this FOX Business segment, Radiant President and COO Tori Shivanandan explores what this technology could mean for America’s energy future.

The KA Rocket has officially found its new home! 🚂

We recently completed the rail-to-rail relocation of this approximately 180,000lb locomotive, now owned by the Ogema Heritage Railway Association, a non-profit organization that operates heritage train rides through Southern Prairie Railway.

This project brought together three Barnhart Canada branches for a full crane, rigging, and heavy-haul solution.

The locomotive travelled approximately 1,165 km, with custom rigging developed to secure each wheel pack during hoisting and transport. The existing lift lugs were NDT inspected and reviewed by engineering before being approved as the primary rigging attachment points.

From lift planning and engineering review to transport and final placement, this project came together through strong coordination between branches, field teams, and partners.

More than a heavy-haul move, this was a chance to help preserve a piece of Saskatchewan railway history!

When the crane isn’t the answer, we reach deeper into the toolbox. 🧰

From the Modular Lift Tower to the Modular Tailing Tower and Big Lift Tower, these systems give our teams another way to solve heavy-lift challenges when conventional methods aren’t the best fit.

Take a look inside the Barnhart Toolbox and see how they work. 👇
