Recycling Today, Dec, 2002

Pro-Line Buckets & Grapples of Houston and Hawco Manufacturing Co. LLC, Slaughter, La., have merged to form a larger clamshell bucket and grapple-manufacturing firm. The new company will be called Anvil Attachments, choosing an existing Pro-Line brand as its corporate name.

Anvil Attachments will continue to provide parts, service and engineering of new units under the names Anvil, Pro-Line, Hawco, Owen, Yaun, Williams and Drott. These product lines offer a broad array of attachments for cable, hydraulic and electro-hydraulic operated units.

Anvil director of sales and marketing Larry A. Carlisle says Anvil Attachments will provide quality products at a fair price.

The company operates from a sales and engineering office in Houston and a manufacturing facility with its ISO 9001 process and design certification in Slaughter, La. The attachments are sold into the scrap recycling, demolition, construction and bulk material handling markets.

Anvil has alliances allowing it to offer other products, including separating technology and lifting devices created by the German firm Steinert. These products are available through Anvil's sister company Resource Recycling LLC, St. Petersburg, Fla.

An alliance with RadComm Systems, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, allows Anvil to offer a scrap grapple with a radiation detector mounted within. Carlisle says the grapples can be retrofitted easily to include a radiation detector at a later date.
