Deep foundation and geotechnical drilling projects are vital to infrastructure, transportation and commerce.
Managing complex projects has challenges – equipment productivity shouldn’t be one of them. We can design & engineer custom deep foundation drilling equipment solutions to meet your specific needs.
With safety, accuracy, reliability and productivity on the line, equipment workarounds and quick fixes won’t cut it.
You need purpose-built equipment that allows you to move with speed and precision.
That’s where the heavy equipment engineering and manufacturing expertise of Ceres comes in.
The engineers and fabricators at Ceres are experts in customizing heavy equipment and attachments for large industrial jobs. Where you have a problem, they visualize a solution.
Ceres has the tools, resources, facilities, thinkers and experience to listen to your needs and devise the solution.
Then, they can test and manufacture that solution for you.
Our customer approached Ceres with a specialized paving concept that required more than conventional equipment selection. The work involved converting an operating idea into a mechanical system, building the equipment, supporting field use, and returning to the design when customer feedback identified new performance goals.
Rail operations often need a compact and controlled way to reposition maintenance equipment without dedicating a larger locomotive or prime mover to the task. A Class 1 railroad required a purpose-built rail equipment mover that could support its operating environment and equipment-handling needs. The customer needed a machine designed specifically for moving rail equipment, with the required traction, control, visibility, and coupling interfaces integrated into a practical package.
A US Railroad had an innovative idea to replace expensive purpose-built equipment for clearing snow. Rather than millions of dollars spent on a seasonal blower-only machine, a request was made to convert a Vancer CHX35 into a heavy-duty snow-remover in the winter, and a capable hi-rail excavator in milder months.
Metro and transit maintenance operations often require specialized equipment interfaces that are not available as standard products. For this project, Ceres worked between RAKA and their customer to develop a custom coupler solution to allow a ShuttleWagon to be used to move Metro Transit cars while on rail.
Our customer needed a Hi-Rail excavator that had increased ground clearance, could operate high powered attachments, and was able to transport heavy rail car loads. The Ceres team of engineers rose to the challenge and designed and built a product based upon the Caterpillar 541 Feller Buncher.
