and deliaers 32 pieces of pipe insteo,d of 4 by other ntethod
A Honolulu contractor, using two tractors, two trailers, a crane and fifteen men, was only able to move four pieces of pipe, 48" inside diameter by 14 feet long, weighing 6| tons, in an eight-hour day. The hauling cost per pip. was $ 16.
Now with a GerlingerHydraulic Carrier, this same contractor needs but two men to move thirty-two pieces of pipe in a day -AT A COST OF $ | PER PIPE. Loading and unloading are accomplished without assistance due to thehydraulic lifting device. In ten days, the saving effected paid for the carner.
