Data Center & Power Infrastructure
Switchgear, transformers, cooling: moved to site, set in place.
The buildout reshaping power and compute runs on heavy, high-value, long-lead equipment that has to arrive in sequence and land in exactly the right spot. LGX orchestrates that cargo end to end, from procurement and import through heavy haul, the crane spot, and on-site placement. One team is accountable for the whole move.

What we move
The equipment a buildout lives or dies on.
Power transformers
GSU and distribution transformers: heavy, oversized, sensitive to shock and tilt. Routed, permitted, and set with impact monitoring where required.
Switchgear & e-houses
Medium- and high-voltage switchgear lineups and pre-assembled e-houses. Handled to protect alignment and seals.
Cooling equipment
Chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, cooling towers, and dry coolers. Staged and sequenced to the mechanical install.
Generators & gensets
Standby and prime power packages, fuel and enclosure assemblies.
UPS, busway & long-lead electrical
High-value components consolidated and staged against the install schedule.
Modular & prefab
Skidded plant, prefabricated power modules, and containerized systems.
Why it’s not just freight
Long lead times, hard sequence, no room for a missed pick.
The problem
Power and cooling equipment is over-dimensional, over-weight, and on long procurement lead times. Often imported, often against a site that isn’t ready until it is, then needed on site fast, in sequence, and in step with the site contractor’s schedule. A transformer that arrives before the pad is poured is a storage problem; one that arrives after the crane demobilizes is a schedule problem. The pieces have to converge.
How LGX handles it
We plan from the on-site date backward: import and customs coordination; a staging yard to hold and buffer the cargo, whether our own facility in Humble, TX or one of the staging yards we use across the country; heavy haul to site in the right sequence, with the right trailer and permits; and a lift plan engineered to the set. It lands when the site can take it. Not before, not after. Our coordinators are on site for the set and work with the site contractor as required.
The buffer window
Before the pad is poured: a storage problem. The yard absorbs it.
After the crane demobilizes: a schedule problem. The sequence prevents it.
The scope
Procurement to placement, owned by one team.
Import & forwarding
Overseas-sourced equipment: ocean FCL, breakbulk, or charter; customs entry coordinated through partner.
Forwarding →Laydown & staging
At our Humble, TX yard or a staging yard closer to the site: buffer long-lead pieces and consolidate to a site-ready sequence.
Yard & storage →Heavy haul
To site: flatbed, step deck, RGN, multi-axle; route survey, permits, escorts.
Heavy haul & OOG →On-site placement
With the electrical/mechanical team: spotting, setting, and schedule integration.
On-site coordination →Scope wrap-up
Documentation, demobilization, sign-off.
Closed outReach
Wherever the site is.
Data-center and power buildouts are happening across the country and around the world, and that’s where we work: national and international, planned project by project from a Humble, TX base, backed by our own yard and crane there and by staging yards across the country. We’re not fenced to a region or a lane.
- Own yard + 50-ton crane: Humble, TX
- Staging yards nationwide
- National & international
Frequently asked
Questions buildout teams ask first.
Can you stage long-lead equipment until our site is ready?
Yes. We receive, buffer, and consolidate transformers, switchgear, and cooling equipment in our own yard in Humble, TX, with its 50-ton crane, or at a staging yard closer to the site, then release it to site in the sequence the install needs, instead of you paying demurrage or scrambling for space.
Do you handle imported equipment end to end?
Yes. Ocean FCL, breakbulk, or charter on the import; customs entry coordinated through our partner customs broker; then heavy haul, crane, and on-site set under one project team.
Can you move and set the transformer itself?
We arrange the heavy haul, engineer the lift plan, coordinate the crane, and put our people on site for the set. We’re asset-light on trucks, matching the right equipment to the piece, and asset-backed on yard and crane where it counts.
What regions do you cover?
National and international. We plan each scope from the site backward through whichever origin the equipment ships from. Home base is Humble, TX; the work is not lane-fenced.
Building out power or compute?
Send us the equipment list, where the site is, and the dates. We’ll come back with a plan to get it there in sequence and set in place. One team accountable.
