ABOUT PULSTAR
From Pulstar’s website:
“Pulstar Manufacturing started as a very small company many years ago that specialized in manufacturing highly coveted accessory items for drill rigs, pump hoists, and mining equipment. As the years went by, it was actually uranium mining equipment needs that were to start us on our inevitable path of heavy equipment manufacturing. Uranium mining is accomplished through both injection and recovery water wells. The minders in the United States were limited to using pump hoists designed for water wells, which were not anywhere near rigorous enough for stringent swabbing needs.
Pulstar Manufacturing designed a pump hoist that afforded lightweight, extensive pulling power, user friendliness and, above all, top quality components allowing more power and speed than was seen on most commercial turbine rigs. The hoist was designed to work on a small 4 x 4 lightweight truck because of the mountainous terrain where the mining was taking place. These special pump hoists were worked rigorously 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. This type of machine demanded high-tech hydraulics, high-tech components, and precision welding and machining to stand the test. Exposure to these high-tech mining pump hoists inevitably lead to normal pump installers having increased interest in Pulstar Pump Hoists. It was very hard at first to sell the hoists in a competitive sense. However, after a few short years with more and more Pulstar hoists working in the field every day, the word was out – Pulstar hoists are premium equipment. Demand for product lead to the designing of 14 different models. Dollars and cents were no longer an issue to the customer and sales took off drastically.
Pulstar Manufacturing started out in an 1,800 sq. ft. building. Pulstar currently has over 40,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space, approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of warehouse storage, a parking facility that boasts several new trucks for potential customers to view, numerous employee vehicles, and several shop vehicles. The entire facility sits on a 20-acre tract of private land. The manufacturing facility consists of several shop certified welders, PPG certified painters, machinists, assembly-persons, and other craftsmen.
The people at Pulstar have dedicated their lives to the water well industry. We have no other product to fall back on, therefore it is our life’s mission to offer the most premium equipment possible.”
