"The biggest benefit for us having the Bison container jacks is the ability to be self supportive in the refineries in which we work. There are times it takes 2 - 3 days to stage equipment and assets and a lot of manpower, whereas we can go in there with just a few guys and the Bison jacks, unload our equipment and get out of the way of the other contractors."
