Electric equipment gives this demolition company a competitive edge
For the past two decades, Interstate Sawing has been one of the premier concrete cutting and robotic demolition company in the Midwest. Interstate has been involved in numerous projects throughout the region, including schools, museums, and even the Mall of America in Minnesota. "But the company isn’t just about roadwork or tearing things down," says Marketing Director Haley Long.
"Often owners don’t want a building to simply come down or be gutted. They want it to be repaired or restored, which requires a delicate hand. Interstate specializes in 'safe and controlled demolition,” Long says, "and this is why the 100ECO is so important for our work."
Electric mini skid steers save time and money
Long explained that the 100ECO is much more efficient than having their guys pick up pieces with shovels and traditional wheelbarrows.
“As we’re breaking the concrete and it falls, we’ve got a guy on the skid steer able to scoop it up and take it away so we can keep moving, making the job completed a lot faster.”
"Not only is there less work and time involved, but there’s also not as much strain on the body", Long adds. And because not as many workers are needed, Interstate saves big on labor costs.
A competitive advantage
One benefit that Long especially likes about the 100ECO is that they don’t require any fuel. The equipment fits into their fleet perfectly, as a lot of their other tools and machinery are electric.
“It is awesome that we can plug them in to charge them and we don’t have to worry about having to get gas,” Long says.
Long also points out that Interstate’s electric equipment gives them a competitive advantage, as they’ve been able to get more indoor jobs because there are no harmful fumes to worry about. This has been especially helpful when working with certain businesses, such as those in the food industry. "When indoor demolition is needed, we're the first to get the call because we have the right equipment for the job, & we're fast because of our equipment."
