AmeraMex International, Inc., a provider of heavy equipment for logistics companies, infrastructure construction and forestry conservation, announced that it has completed the final shipment of a large equipment order to a port in Texas.
The final piece of equipment from the initial order is a $300,000, Taylor Equipment forklift, with a 45,000-pound capacity that will be used to off-load steel coils that weigh over 40,000 pounds each from holds in a ship. The forklift is stationed in the hold of a ship by a crane and is used to retrieve steel coils from around the perimeter of the hold. The coils are then positioned so that the crane can grab them and off-load them from the ship. Once a hold is empty, the crane repositions the forklift into the next hold and the process continues.
According to AmeraMex CEO Lee Hamre, “The Company expects an order for additional large capacity forklifts before the end of the month. In addition, there will also be an order for a Hyster Double Reach Narrow Isle electric forklift capable of stacking material pallets to over 20 feet in height.”
