Going the Extra Mile
What may seem as a daunting challenge to others in our line of business, may be another typical day for Craig Taylor Equipment Company. Such as the case with this project, transporting a new Bobcat skid-steer loader and related attachments to a remote exploration site atop a mountain range. With strict aircraft weight and size limitations, the machine was dismantled and flown to the site on two round trip flights. |
 |
Once on site, our service technician was flown in to re-assemble the machine and test operations for the contractor. |
