Over the Muck: Crawler Carriers Overcome Tricky Terrain
From hauling mats to hoisting materials and transporting personal, crawler carriers are a versatile tool for any pipeline project. There are a number of options to customize carriers, including flatbeds, dump beds, cranes, welding attachments and other jobsite-specific tools. Crawler carriers offer high payloads compared to low ground pressure for working around sensitive terrain. The tracked undercarriage allows the units to traverse muddy conditions.
