About the Mega Movers Series

Mega Movers

When you've got a big job, how are you going to move that load? How do you move a 180-foot railroad bridge? Or an eight-story smoke stack? Or a 500-ton oil rig? Or an entire community of 10 houses all in one week? And not wreck anything in the process?

The new series MEGA MOVERS follows the relocation of the biggest, heaviest and least mobile historic structures imaginable. Watch the crucial planning process of how movers measure size, weight, weather, traffic and clearance, knowing that a one-inch mistake can mean disaster. Hold your breath during the chilling first lift, as the creaks, cracks and groans signal the hoisting of a building not intended to be lifted. Follow each dangerous journey as movers navigate over narrow bridges, avoid power lines and turn sharp corners, all the while hoping the structures don't break apart. Then there's dealing with the wildcards Mother Nature tosses into the process, like mud, thunderstorms, floods, ice and hurricanes. It's a tough job, but it's all in a day's work for the MEGA MOVERS.
