Our History
In 1993, Keith Settle started Settle Construction to provide a specialized construction service company to lift and move buildings in the Pacific Northwest.
Shortly thereafter, he saw a strong need for specialized services in the heavy transport and rigging industry and created Northwest Structural Moving. This company was created to meet the needs of the growing list of commercial and industrial clients in Oregon and Washington.
Over the last 20+ years, the company’s service area has grown to include the entire Western United States and Canada. This growth has prompted the specialized heavy transport and rigging division to change the name to Oxbo Mega Transport Solutions. This division offers a wide variety of services including heavy lifting and moving of all structures, oversize/overweight transportation, rail car and barge loading, engineering and logistical support.
Having the largest and most diverse equipment fleet in the region and a team with over 50 years of experience in heavy transport and lifting, Oxbo Mega Transport Solutions has received 13 international awards for their notably large and innovative moves.
