What Our Clients Think
We have come to know Pinnacle as one of our most outstanding business partners as we execute our customer demonstrations in countries around the world. Pinnacle always rises to the challenge and gives us the proactive service we count on.

I have been working with Pinnacle for over 10 years now and have to say that their experience, professional approach and good reputation within the industry is impressive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pinnacle for the movement of out of gauge machinery of any size or weight.

Delivery to NASA of the MIRI instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope was the highest value shipment that we have ever been responsible for in 50 years of space research, and the most difficult from a logistical point of view. Pinnacle were instrumental throughout the planning, organization, Defense and ultimately the highly successful implementation of the delivery plan.
We look forward to working with them again on any similar future projects.
