Modern Facilities And Equipment

Over the years, the need for more sophisticated and highly-integrated service has grown dramatically, and Pinney Dock & Transport has responded by continually expanding its facilities and equipment to meet these requirements. Today, our three fully-dredged slips and six docks totaling 15,000 linear feet of vessel berthing space, provide access to more than 200 acres of adjacent storage space. Two hundred additional acres of storage is available inland of this space. Each of our slips can accommodate any vessel now plying the Great Lakes-salt water ships entering from overseas to 1000-foot lake self unloaders.

Two 45-ton gantry cranes, which work with buckets, magnets, or slings, travel on rail at a fully-faced dock ideal for the discharge or loading of salt water and lake bulk vessels. A full complement of modern ground supporting equipment such as front end loaders and fork lifts round out the vehicles needed to handle virtually any cargo.

Our warehouse space exceeds 425,000 square feet. Silo storage for bulk cargoes, totaling 7,500 NT, is available.

Although modern facilities and equipment are important, the commitment and resourcefulness of the people who put them to best use are essential. Each member of our crews has years of experience in loading a wide range of products, and each is totally dedicated to serving our customers. Coordination of these integrated capabilities into a smoothly functioning operation is the responsibility of our highly experienced and dedicated dock supervisory group. Our management people work with you in developing well throughout recommendations to meet both immediate and long-range requirements.

With our fully-integrated combination of modern facilities and equipment, we perform the coordinated processes necessary to handle specific shipments in the most efficient manner.
