Structure design in the irrigation industry has been virtually stagnant for 25 years. In fact, the primary design changes have been simply to reduce weight and slash costs. It is Pierce Corporation’s conviction that the best machines were manufactured in the mid to late 1980’s. This in fact is planned obsolescence. Pierce Corporation’s approach is vastly different due to our agricultural roots and commitment to the industry. We wanted to build a machine that would last for generations. Although the science behind pivot manufacturing, such as welding, steel fabrication, and galvanizing are essentially decades old technology and virtually unchanged, we endeavor to be an industry leader in quality control to feed into the continuous improvement cycle. The pipes utilized in our machines are rolled in state-of-the-art tube mills that apply extensive pressure testing that exceed conditions required in the field. After rigorous testing of our CP600 design, Pierce Corporation increased the wall thickness of our pipe, improved the span coupler to give considerably increased flexibility and vastly improve the strength and longevity of our structures. The tower legs have a multi-bolt fastening system to improve the strength and our pipe tabs have a load distribution design unique across the industry. In addition, Pierce Corporation is heavily invested in new test facilities to test all pipes and fixtures to assure that they meet our exacting expectations and standards. Our customers can be assured of the most reliable and longest lasting irrigation systems in the industry. It is our commitment to see our center pivots last 30+ years as opposed to selling a new machine every decade. For 82 years, Pierce Corporation has brought major advances in irrigation convenience and economy to growers worldwide. Since R.H. Pierce founded the company in 1932, Pierce Corporation has continued to build a rich history of commitment to innovation and technology. During that time, Pierce Corporation pioneered and advanced Center Pivot, Linear, Micro Pivot and iControl Technology. Pierce’s reputation is based on manufacturing well engineered systems that allow today’s ag producers to increase yields while conserving the earth’s resources. Our global network of suppliers, manufacturers, dealers and agriculture professionals facilitates our ability to not only deliver on-time at the industry’s best price points, but it also allows us to innovate in an expedient manner. Our exposure to varied environments world-wide only enhances our knowledge base and feeds our engineering team with the ever-changing challenges of different climates and biospheres. The power of sourcing our products globally cannot be minimized. Having Pierce Center Pivots installed in some of the harshest environments -- from desolate and bleak to cultivated and fertile -- provides us an endless test bed for innovation and improvement. Our global reach is a testament to our strength and power in the marketplace. Quality • Delivery • Support. This is the Pierce Culture. www.piercecorporation.com Pierce Corporation’s approach [email protected] 3407 Steen St. San Antonio, Tx 78219 Telephone: (210)200-8936 Call Today To Take Advantage Of Our Fall Specials!
