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.
