On/Off Loading Capabilities

Roll On/Roll Off
Since July 2008, the Port of Lewiston has been working with several U.S. and Canadian companies and logistics firms to ship oversized cargo through the Columbia-Snake River Corridor. This oversized cargo has final destinations that include refinery equipment to the Kearl Oil Sands in Alberta, Canada, wind powered generators into the U.S. Midwest and coal fired electrical generation plants into Wyoming.

The Port of Lewiston’s dock is 125-feet in length and is capable of handling any roll-on/roll off cargo that would be permitted on an Idaho Highway. The dock is less than a quarter mile from U.S. Highway 12 and 95. Click here for ‘Truck Route Map’.

Heavy Lift Picks
The Port of Lewiston’s 250-ton Manitowoc 4100 Series 2 lift crane has the capability to pick approximately 96 short tons (193,000 lbs. at 32-feet) off a river barge. Picking limits are approximately 140,000 lbs at 40-feet, 103,000 lbs at 50-feet or 81,000 lbs at 60-feet. The Port of Lewiston has three certified crane operators, each with over 12-years experience with the Port.

Storage
The Port of Lewiston has approximately 20 acres available adjacent to dock facilities for oversize storage. Indoor storage is also available at the Port’s 20,000 sf dockside warehouse for short-term, cross-docking needs or at Inland 465 the secure, full service 150,000sf warehouse within a few blocks.
