Our Core

OUR MISSION

We are committed to manufacturing products that create lasting value for our customers by providing quality, innovative solutions, and exceptional service through our network of dealers and in-house employees.

WHO WE ARE

We want to take you from ordinary to exceptional. We do that by not only creating advanced and unique equipment that will set you apart from your competitors, but by letting you customize your equipment to make it a completely individualized product to fit your needs.

OUR PROCESS

We are always moving, improving, innovating, expanding, advancing. Our 110,000 square foot manufacturing facility is equipped with the advanced technology needed to innovate new products. All of our departments have a skilled and educated team who consider quality, service, and innovation to be their foundation.

Precision Machining We have three CNC machining centers, allowing 100% consistency and extreme accuracy for precise drilling and machining.
Plasma Cutter At the plasma table, a 2D image is programmed into the computer to accurately cut multiple parts from a single sheet of steel.
Saw We have one Hyd-Mech and one DoALL band saw that automatically measures and cuts steel precisely to the dimensions imputed into the computer.
Precision Drilling All of our precision holes are CNC machined which allows for 100% consistency and extreme accuracy.
Welding We currently have 23 Mig welding stations equipped with the latest technology.
Paint Booth We use a urethane primer and topcoat electrostatic paint process to create a durable bond/hold & add a high gloss finish. Our products have the same paint resistance as the big guys, like John Deere.
Final Assembly During final assembly, all products with hydraulics and/or engines are tested before they leave our facility. All nuts, bolts, and washers are double checked for tightness.
Warehouse Our facility has 24,000 sq. ft. of space for storage of parts and finished products, and a 28,000 sq. ft. outdoor storage lot. In 2017, we expanded our space to a neighboring 160,000 sq. ft. facility.
