Those Vacuum lifts all have the same vacuum system . All you do is change out the bottom suction cup to fit the size pipe your handling..
It works good on the FBE Coating , TG3 is the hot tar & paper wrap and won't hold a suction ..
Looks like about 16" pipe there going to lay..
I'm in Minnesota laying 100 miles of 42".....

we were up last week on the d10T and d11 I asked on of the forman who I think was son or some relation of owner of the company why such big machine all the other companies around doing well sites are using D6s and d8s to build ponds his answser was we like to show off.

we have been doing tons of work in gas fields and pipelines here in central PA with no end in site every company we are dealing with says were just seeing the begining . gas drilling is going to be going hard for at least 20 yrs. Probably the only thing that may slow it is the tree huggers and the govenment restrictions . Lots of good companies here too Gas field services being one of the many

I've heard the same things. All of the gas guys have said next year and the next couple years will be HUGE in PA. Especially up north in the Marcellus.

the company i work started to get into the gas industry on the site work side of things. it was neat to watch them bring in the drilling rig, ste it up and start drilling.they did all that when we were digging the frac pond beside the well pad.it took them a little over a month to drill two holes 11000' deep.

Wish i would have had my camera in Cambridge Ohio the other day. They had A LOT of equipment parked there for this section of pipeline. It was neat to see all the dozers lined in a row.
