The oil industry is booming with Hamilton and Frank’s International on the pipelines.
A world leader in oilfield services, Frank’s chose us to build a 25-foot-long trailer to haul diesel and hydraulic hammers. They’re used to drive pipe into the ground as the first stage of new oil well installations.
“Because the hammers are longer than they are wide, we couldn’t load them onto forklifts to carry them into the maintenance area of the workshop bay,” said Ray Barrileaux, assistant operations manager at Frank’s International.
While the company builds a brand-new facility, it currently operates in a temporary shop with height restrictions. Our extra-long trailer bypasses those height constraints by carting hammers in and out of the work bay.
“We weren’t about to let a few low ceilings sink our operation,” said Barrileaux. “With Hamilton’s help, we’re able to help our customers keep the oil flowing.”
