ETN is often called upon to provide services for more unusual assignments, including overdimensional or overweight loads, containerized freight, refrigerated units and much more. For the HBO series, "From the Earth to the Moon" we moved much of the original equipment and vehicles used in the Apollo space program. ETN carriers successfully transported an Apollo capsule, gantries, training modules, a lunar lander - even an Airstream trailer used by the astronauts for the filming of this series.
On two other productions, "U.S. Marshals" and "Forces of Nature", ETN was called upon to move an entire Boeing 727 aircraft across the country. As often happens with oversized or overweight shipments, we must also coordinate permits, routing instructions, escort vehicles, poll cars (to measure bridges) and more. For the filming of "Twister" and "Jingle All the Way", we provided climate-controlled equipment to keep ice cold to be used for hail (Twister) and/or snow (Jingle).
The Big Apple Circus, a nationally-recognized non-profit circus headquartered in New York City, is among several touring clients using the services of ETN. Moving everything from equipment trailers and generators to sleeping units, a mobile schoolroom and even the bigtop itself, ETN helps plan, coordinate and finally move over thirty pieces of equipment on each move.
Several ETN clients transfer their shipments overseas via port cities such as Newark, Houston, Miami and Los Angeles. Our carriers and staff are experienced in working with these shipments and coordinating services with client-designated customs brokers. We can also refer clients to experienced customs brokers for cross-border movements into and out of Canada and Mexico. ETN does not, however, prepare customs documentation. |
