O. H. Hall Is Pioneering
O. H. Hall, a man with a pioneering spirit who has spent
his lifetime on the waterfront, has guided Port Stevedoring
Company, Inc. since its founding 14 years ago into one of
the largest independent stevedoring firms offering service at
ports in Houston, Galveston and Freeport.
"1 like to tell people that I know the business from the
hold up," laughs the veteran who was a longshoreman, foreman and superintendent
on the docks.
If you visit his offices in Houston’s World Trade Building,
you will notice he still has the cotton hook, the sack hook
and the rig axe that he used in the old days.
It was only natural that Mr. Hall is credited with pioneering the use of shore-based cranes to handle steel products in
stevedoring applications.
The most recent evidence of Mr. Hall’s pioneering practice
is the purchase of a 200-ton Model 9460 American truck
crane.
"I am proud of the fact that my newest crane is the only
one of its capacity serving the .North Side docks at the Port
of Houston a 200-ton rated rig to accommodate heavy lifts
and containers," Mr. Hall said.
The new crane is currently operating w~th 120 feet of boom
and a five-sheave hammerhead tip. The large crane is mounted
on an American 200-ton six-axle carrier.
Port Stevedoring Company has also established
Seamarine
Warehouses, making it possible for complete service from
unloading through trucking and storage.
