<- Back to Breakers Main PageRenz Construction, a thirty-eight-year-old materials supplier, uses their INDECO 5,000 and 10,000 pound class breakers for primary breaking in their noise-conscious environment.
"Upscale Fairfield County kind of grew up around us," notes Ron Renz, President. "We had to find a way to reduce noise in our operation while maintaining our 3,000 ton per day output." Renz met those goals with three heavy-duty INDECO breakers mounted on CAT carriers. "These machines give us the power we need and they are extremely quiet to run. Variable speed and power automatically keep our costs down and they are simple to operate and simple to maintain. These breakers are simply the best in the business."
Sammi Kuykendall of Kuykendall, Inc. located in Thosand Palms, California is using her INDECO hydraulic breaker to help keep her thirteen-year-old excavating company running efficiently. Her INDECO MES5000, 7,500-pound class breaker mounted on a John Deere 330LC excavator has proven to be a productive, reliable and cost-effective combination.
"We use our INDECO MES 5000 breaker primarily for breaking up bedrock and granite. In this area you can expect to come across these hard materials on just about every job. If you don't have the right equipment, it can really hold up production and get you behind schedule. That's why we invested in an INDECO breaker," states Kuykendall.
"Our INDECO MES 5000 is Simply the Best. It's the most durable breaker on the market. We looked at many competitive model breakers before visiting our local INDECO dealer, RDO Equipment Co., Inc. Once we discovered the INDECO line of breakers we looked no further. We found that other breakers just weren't constructed as well. INDECO breakers are build to take the rigors of constant pounding from its case to its inside components. The overall design is superior and we don't have to worry about downtime," says Kyukendall.
"Competition in the construction business is growing," states Doc Rupp, President of the George Igel Company. "We have to buy reliable equipment to remain ahead of the competition." Rupp made sure he bought equipment that could work in various applications when he purchased three heavy-duty INDECO breakers and an INDECO plate compactor from Columbus Equipment Company.
"We were unhappy with the previous attachments we owned, so Columbus Equipment suggested we look at the INDECO attachments. The INDECO machines we purchased have simple and superior engineering. Fewer parts in the design indeciated few worries, short term and long term. The way the INDECO attachments are built gives us confidence that our equipment will always be up and running."
"Columbus Equipment was extremely helpful in the selection of our equipment and provide us with excellent product support and parts whenever we need it. We shopped around before purchasing our INDECO attachments and definately made the right choice. Quite simply, INDECO attachments are the best on the market."
New River Electrical of Virginia, a 46-year-old company, has been using their INDECO MES 2500 and MES 621 Hydraulic Breakers for more then 5 years to break rock and concrete foundations in their eledctrical utility business.
With the ability and license to do work in 25 states, New River Electrical moves around quite often. While moving from state to state to complete jobs, they need equipment and service support they can count on. They found both the equipment and support needed in INDECO and James River Equipment Company.
"Over the past five years we have not experienced any problems outside of routine maintenance with our INDECO breakers. Our local dealer helped us select the INDECO breakers after having several bad experiences with competitive models," states Charles Noell, President.
Lehigh Cement Company, celebrating their 100th anniversary, is one of the five largest producers in the world. Lehigh uses their 7,500-pound class INDECO MES 5000 to break up 8'-10' oversized rock in their Leeds, Alabama plant.
"We used to run a drop ball operation to make rock ready for our crusher," recalls Frank Trujillo, of Lehigh Cement. "But we'd still end up with a bunch of irregular-shaped oversize that cost us money. Our local equipment dealer, Tractor & Equipment, mounted the INDECO breaker on our Komatsu PC400 and we've been running it ever since."
James Gilbert & Sons, a fifty-plus-year-old family business, uses their INDECO breaker on a wide range of contracting jobs - from foundations to water & sewers to highways & streets. They also supply a variety of aggregate materials for projects in easter Ontario.
Having used other brands in the past, co-owners Jack and Garry Gilbert are quick to point out their success with their INDECO breaker. "We look for equipment that's powerful, cost-effective and maintenance-free and we are very pleased with our INDECO," states Jack Gilbert. "We bought it last year to use out on jobsites and in our quarries and haven't had a minute's downtime. As our company grows we'll be looking to purchase another one. Quite simply, this is the best breaker we've ever used."
Lake County Grading has been moving dirt around the Chicago area since 1934. Extremely successful, Lake County Grading has rolled that start-up into other areas with equil success. Like demolition. "Demolition has grown to about 20% of our business," claims Rob Sunderman, Demolition Superintedent, "and we've been selling it for 15 years now."
"We owe much of our success to the equipment we purchase and to the people supporting that equipment." Lake County Grading's demolition team includes a DEERE 790 excavator with an INDECO MES 3500, 5,000-pound class breaker. "We use our INDECO on site for breaking rock, on conrete demolition contracts and in our gravel pit to resize material which is then recycled. We've used other breakers in the past but they just don't hold up over the long haul. This INDECO is the best we've ever had."
Vic Vatrt of Vic Vatrt Contracting, located in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada has been in business for over 14 years, with operators who have more than thirty years of experience operating hydraulic breakers. Their most recent breaker purchase was an INDECO MES 621, 1,000-pound class breaker.
"We use our INDECO MES 621 breaker in every aspect of our business, including the breaking of rock, concrete demolition and frost. The INDECO breaker is very hard hitting, yet quiet when working in the city. It does an amazing job. My operators and I feel it is the best breaker on the market," states Vatrt.
Downtime was another concern for Vatrt. "Reliability is key in this type of business," says Vatrt. "Our INDECO breaker has proven to be very reliable and that means peace of mind for my business. I would definitely purchase another INDECO breaker."
Walsh Construction of Chicago, one of the largest and oldest construction firms in America, recently began demolition of the local Naval Air Station in Glenview, Illinois. With over 750,000 tons of runway concrete to crush, they needed high-strength demolition equipment to meet productivity requirements.
At 3000 tons per day, it was important to find a breaker system that could convert five-foot-square, ten-inch-thick-slabs into crusher-manageable 2' x 2' material. Walsh and Fiegl found the answer in INDECO's new IB 1050 Pedestal Boom System with an MES 1050 INDECO hydraulic breaker. "This machine has been running without a glitch," claims Fiegl "and more than keeps pace with our crusher. Without a doubt, we'd recommend an INDECO system for similar projects."
