How an Electric Skid Steer Changed This Concrete Business

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

We can sell machines all day long with the promise of the benefits they bring, but at the end of the day how do the buyers feel about the machines once they have them? Well Joe Tardibouno from American Coring purchased one of our 2Speed 100% battery powered mini-skid steers and sat down to discuss how it's been working for him. 

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF JOE, & WHY YOU PURCHASED AN ELECTRIC SKID STEER

"I am Joe Tardibouno. I have been the owner of American Coring for 30 years, which is located in Toms River, New Jersey. We used a diesel mini skid steer when we could, but most of the time we were forced to do the work by hand, due to the regulations. I saw a video of the 2Speed electric skid steer online and thought it could be good to use for indoor projects. Since its battery powered, it meets regulation guidelines."

NOTE:

The United States & Canada are both beginning to crack down on job site safety, putting a lot of pressure on demolition workers to find the right equipment that keeps them from the slow & hard work of manual labor, while also meeting regulation requirements.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST USE THE 2SPEED MINI SKID STEER?

"I rented it for the first time almost 2 years ago for almost a month. At first, I thought it was going to be more for a niche situation, but then I realized that in about the span of a year the machine would more than pay for itself due to the savings on labor costs, minimal fuel costs and maintenance costs. Plus, we can complete jobs faster now, so our revenue has increased simply by being able to take on more jobs."

WHAT STUCK OUT TO YOU ABOUT THE MACHINE?

"How easy the work we do could done be by using the machine. People get tired. This machine doesn't, and it runs for a full workday. The advantage is only using one man who doesn't get tired and a 2Speed for a job that usually takes 3 who are exhausted by the end of the day."
HOW OFTEN ARE YOU USING THE 2SPEED?
"It was minimal at first because it does take a brief learning period to find out what the machine can do, & be comfortable with it. Once we got comfortable, we had the skid-steer at a job site every month. Now it can sometimes be twice a month. It's become an integral piece of equipment for us."
WHAT FEEDBACK DO YOU HAVE ABOUT THE SKID STEER?

"A cup holder would be nice!"
