Luxor Industrial to Manufacture Crane Mats for Hampton Lumber Sales - Canada

March 30, 2015 - Luxor Industrial Corp. reports it is manufacturing heavy-duty crane mats and other large timber products for Hampton Lumber Sales - Canada.

 

Luxor has invested in a new semi-automated hydraulic assisted processing line to prepare the heavy 12"x12"x20' timbers for notched crane mat assembly. The production line is also assembling "digging mats," another 4'x20' mat, built using the same Hampton timbers, but with heavy-duty cable assemblies attached.

 

"Together with Hampton, new quality control and higher engineering specifications have been implemented; setting the Luxor crane mats into the category of the highest standards ever in North America," states James Lazaruk of Hampton.

 

The notched crane mats serve several heavy industries, including 100- to 450-ton crane pads for  plant construction, pipeline construction, wind farm tower erection, mining roads, pipeline crossings, and major bridge repairs. The digging mats are used in pipeline assembly and repairs and upgrades.

 

A by-product of this new manufacturing line is the production of 12"x12"x3' blocking, which is used during the assembly of large modular sections of plants and processing facilities typical of large plant operations for the oil sands and oil and gas development in Western Canada.

 

Luxor continues to do research and development on new products and will keep shareholders advised on existing activities and progress on new products. Hampton, in conjunction with the engineering design team at Luxor are already working on additional industrial timber based products to serve the oil and gas industry, for release later this year.
