Working in a Tough Environment

Having to work in extreme conditions, equipment downtime is a concern. Ensure you’re not experiencing any logistical bottlenecks with our equipment solutions.

Is your equipment overused?

  • VX is specifically designed for industrial application, offering powertrain components that are specifically engineered for durability. Wet disc brakes are fully concealed against contamination, and the reversible fan helps to keep the radiator free of debris. Working in warm climates? It also offers an optional on-demand cooling system to reduce operating temperatures and ensure your equipment is designed for your business needs. We offer equipment from companies such as Sellick and CombiLift to ensure you find the right fit for your business

Consolidation Creating Issues

More present than ever before is the fact that you’re expected to do more with less, which means you have a greater dependency on trucks and a mixed fleet that might not handle what you need.

How are you working with under-maintained equipment?

  • Our fleet management program can help you find the right equipment for your needs while establishing maintenance plans to extend the life of the equipment you’re using

  • Streamline OSHA checklists and lower overall costs with our fleet of machines equipped with telematics

  • MX and VX will help you reduce fuel consumption and costs from maintenance and replacement parts, allowing you to keep up with the mass consolidation that affects the building materials industry

Keep Qualified Candidates in Your Company

It can be tough to find qualified candidates and the high turnover creates shortages that impact productivity and can cause more damage to products and the facility.

How do you ensure your workers stay at your company?

  • MX offers features that improve the comfort and handling for operators, including a wide range of ergonomic and technology options

  • When you move from ICE to electric, you can produce less noise and vibrations while improving air quality for working conditions

  • Track training updates and reinforced desired behavior through telematics
