APE Parts Delivered via Hovercraft

MKB, an Alaskan construction contractor, was recently on a job in King Cove Alaska (the middle of nowhere) driving piles with an APE 200 Vibratory Driver Extractor. The driver extractor was suffering from some mechanical difficulties and needed some spare parts delivered ASAP to be delivered from the warehouse in Kent Washington. The weight of the spare parts was in excess of 380 pounds. Wayne McWilliams and Erik Erkelens from the APE parts department were able to arrange transport for the parts with Margaret Brunk from Pilot Freight Services. Once the parts made it to Alaska they sat unable to get to the final destination due to the weight of the parts and a lack of transportation to the barge where the hammer was waiting. Wayne McWilliams arranged with PenAir to have a local hovercraft take the parts to the rural job-site so the APE 200 could be fixed and the job completed. Just one of the many ways APE gets the job done!

APE´s Soccer Team: The Fury of the APE

David Vo had the great idea idea of starting up an Indoor Soccer Team and signed up the team for a soccer tournament here in Kent, Washington.

Some of the Superstars playing on the team are: Poncho, Ben, David, Evan, Josh, Dan, Jacob, and Franki.

Although they did not win the first two games, the team is growing stronger by gaining confidence, technique, and experience on every game.

All the other teams have lots of experience and APE’s team is already putting up a tough fight.

Soon enough the APE team will be taking home some trophies.

Keep it up fellows…
