As custodian for several pipe suppliers and major steel companies, Bert Baxter Transport maintains several different pipe storage yards in the city of Estevan. Each supplier maintains a large inventory of tubular goods, which includes various sizes, grades and weights of the most commonly used pipe in the southeastern oilpatch of Saskatchewan.
A comprehensive electronic inventory management system tracks incoming stock, sales and returns on a timely basis. The tubular goods are loaded onto trucks primarily with tool carriers, large forklifts and cherry pickers and a qualified crew. Separate storage racks are also available for the storage of customer excess pipe and supplies as needed.
