Find a Patented Fixture for Your Move — or Let Us Design One for You.

Our patented fixtures save money and boost efficiency by moving increasingly large wind components via economically efficient and environmentally conscious rail routes.

Universal Tower Frames were developed to optimize stacked storage and transportation options, with efficient fixture returns made possible through their innovative design.

As a SmartWay-certified company, we value the environment. Our transport fixture innovations support the clean energy sector with improved efficiency and reduced costs.

Blade Runner® and Blade Controller™

The Blade Runner device provides freight forwarding services utilizing a patented universal fixture designated for rail and ocean transport to optimize movement of wind components between any two points in the world.  With the ratio of logistics costs for Wind projects running at nearly 2X other industries and with strong interest from manufacturers, developers and OEM’s seeking options for increasingly larger blades, BNSF Logistics teamed up with Energo, an engineering and design company with a long history in the Wind sector. Together, we have developed transport fixtures that will greatly increase efficiency and drive down logistics costs in moving wind components. The patented fixtures  and handling solutions that were developed will benefit customer both international and U.S. domestic moves. Using the same technology for ocean rail, track and storage will allow blades to move without the need for attached fixtures, which have historically been both expensive and difficult to manage. As a SmartWay certified company, BNSF Logistics understands the importance of the earth and its natural resources. No matter the energy sector – including solar, wind, geothermal, bioenergy and water – turn to BNSF Logistics as the leader in supporting clean energy technologies
