TAYLORS, SC
Background
Gossett Concrete Pipe Co. operates from a 30-acre site that houses two manfacturing plants—one designed for production of small and mid-range-diameter concrete pipe and one for box culverts and large-diameter pipe.
The company utilizes materials handling equipment to move pipe within the manufacturing facility, transport it to storage areas across the yard, and onto flatbed trucks for delivery.
Challenge
Gossett Concrete Pipe Co. needed durable and reliable lift trucks that could quickly and efficiently move concrete pipe and box culverts weighing up to 12 tons and help the company keep pace with the infrastructure needs in growing communities within a 150-mile radius of its Greenville, SC area facility.
Solution
Gossett Concrete Pipe Co. looked to longtime supplier, Hyster Company, for new equipment that could handle its flourishing box culvert and large-diameter pipe business. Gossett’s most recent purchase, the Hyster H360-48HD, features the load capacity, durability, visibility and ergonomic features required for its heavy duty applications.
Results
Optimum uptime and low maintenance costs have been the result of Gossett’s decision to purchase tough-built Hyster® trucks that are ergonomically designed for high visibility and driver comfort. Dependable equipment with reliable dealer backup from LiftOne has made Gossett Concrete Pipe Co. a loyal Hyster customer.
