Six-5yd trucks and various heavy machinery totaling 30 pieces of equipment.
Replacement value of all equipment is approximately $3 million dollars.
Based on 3.85 acre site with garage and office building, salt storage dome, recycling center shed, cold storage shed and materials storage shed.Slide4

Why Additional Garage Space is NeededExtends the service life and response time of every vehicle and piece of equipment by: Reducing
the amount of warm up
time -
saving gas and wear and tear on
vehicles.
Allows trucks to enter, store and exit the building with plows and wings attached which will save
approximately 30 minutes of operator
time per snow event.
Reduces the possibility of injury and damage to vehicles.Allows room for the drivers to make the necessary vehicle inspections, saving time.Allows operator to provide quick service to their vehicles i.e. adding oil, grease, air. Saves time by not having to remove snow from vehicles when parked outside.Less idling time, less gas consumed, better air quality.Slide11
