Langley Concrete Group was selected by Metro Vancouver in British Columbia to work on a two-stage, 1,000-piece sewage pipe-laying project. Each section of the 120-inch diameter PVC-lined concrete pipe has a lay length of 10 feet and weighs 54,000 lbs.It was one of the largest sanitary sewer pipe undertakings in the area in 40 to 50 years.
Langley owns a Hyster® H620HD lift truck, with lifting capacities of 62,000 lbs., that can handle loads with a 96-inch diameter. This truck was not big enough, however, to handle the new pipe requirements.
