The VTL system allows for extremely versatile positioning of the lead, allowing for efficient operations even on the most challenging of job sites. Many foundation contractors around the globe have recognized the advantages of the Vertical Travel Lead system in addition to becoming the industry standard in Canada, US Railway Construction and many parts of the USA.
