What does the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Buchanan Hauling & Rigging have in common? It’s no secret the NBA is a leader in driving innovative traditions to basketball fans worldwide, and well, it’s also no secret that Buchanan Hauling & Rigging just loves to drive.
“At Buchanan, our commitment to excellence has allowed us to move a myriad of intriguing items over the years. Now, we are particularly proud to have played a role in transporting the court for the upcoming All-Star game. It brings us great pleasure to be a small part of the effort that has brought this premier basketball event to our state”, said David Francis, Chief Financial Officer at Buchanan Hauling & Rigging.
“The members of our team are not just logistical experts; they are avid fans who take immense pride in contributing to the success of this grand occasion. Being involved in the preparation and execution of the All-Star game is more than a professional achievement for us – it's a testament to our dedication to the community and the shared love for the game,” expressed Francis.
Buchanan Hauling & Rigging specializes in large and heavy hauls, and this fits the bill. Broken up into 6 square pieces containing a total of 192 elements, each weighing roughly 1000 pounds, this ASB Glass Floor, or Lumiflex, will include 6 different trips to get the court in its entirety to its final destination of Lucas Oil Field. The court itself is two layers of laminated safety glass, each 5 millimeters thick with an opaque surface and endless designs provided by built-in lighting and LED panels.
Since 1996, Buchanan Hauling & Rigging has been involved in hundreds of heavy hauls and shipments including moving a 185,000-pound press machine from Georgia to Mississippi, and a 180-foot beam across the state of Florida. We were grateful to our partners at TLI for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
