Texas contractors gain access to Vacuworx RC Series vacuum lifters through AmeriTex, streamlining precast concrete pipe and box culvert installation statewide.
Vacuworx, the global leader in vacuum lifting technology, and AmeriTex Pipe & Products, Texas’s premier manufacturer of reinforced concrete pipe and box culverts, announced an exclusive partnership that will change the way contractors handle and install concrete infrastructure products across the Lone Star State. Under the agreement, contractors who purchase AmeriTex products for their job sites will have access to loaned Vacuworx RC Series vacuum lifting systems — at no additional equipment cost — to unload and install those products in the field.
The partnership leverages the RC Series’ proven capability to handle heavy infrastructure materials safely and efficiently. Rated to lift between 22,000 and 55,000 pounds, the fully self-contained, diesel-powered RC Series units attach to excavators in minutes, enabling wireless remote-controlled lifting and precise material placement — all without slings, chains, or manual ground crews near active loads. This makes them ideally suited for the heavy reinforced concrete pipe and precast box culverts that AmeriTex produces.
"AmeriTex has built the most trusted name in Texas concrete pipe and culvert supply, and we are proud to stand behind the work their customers do every day. By placing RC Series lifters on AmeriTex job sites, we are giving contractors a faster, safer, and smarter way to put product in the ground — which is exactly what Vacuworx equipment was designed to do."
How the Partnership Works
Texas contractors who specify and purchase AmeriTex reinforced concrete pipe or precast box culverts for a project will receive access to Vacuworx RC Series vacuum lifting equipment — on loan for the duration of the job — to unload product from delivery vehicles and install it in the field. The exclusive arrangement is limited to Vacuworx RC Series lifters, ensuring a consistent, high-capacity solution matched specifically to the weight and dimensions of AmeriTex’s reinforced concrete product line.
