You may not believe it now, but in 2015, our heavy earthwork machinery inventory consisted of a single backhoe, a couple of skid steers, and a mini excavator. But as a construction company in Utah, In just seven years, we鈥檝e grown rapidly. Our team now completes some of the largest heavy civil and industrial projects in the Intermountain West.
With the pace of growth we鈥檝e experienced, we needed partners who could keep up. We鈥檙e proud to say Komatsu has been one of our strongest partnerships, giving 吃瓜猎奇 the tools it needs to succeed.
Komatsu Rises to the Challenge
Our Vice President, Troy Johnson, says, 鈥淥ver the last few years, we鈥檝e been one of the larger earthmoving contractors in the area. If Komatsu had not stepped up and provided what we needed, we wouldn鈥檛 be where we are today.鈥�
As our scope of projects has increased, the team at Komatsu鈥檚 Rocky Mountain聽Region hasn鈥檛 skipped a beat. Jim Slade, the territory manager, as well as Garin Humphrey and Lynn Holt, find what we need when we need it.
鈥淥n any given day, we may need 20 haul trucks, five excavators, and eight dozers; that鈥檚 just the world we live in now,鈥� Troy says. 鈥淲hen we need it, we need it fast. Komatsu delivers 鈥� and then has the support to serve it along the way.鈥�
More Than Just Equipment
Matt Wollam, our President, agrees that Komatsu鈥檚 attention to service is what really seals the deal. 鈥淲e love our Komatsu equipment; we think they have great technology, but if the service and the partnership weren鈥檛 there, it wouldn鈥檛 be a good fit for us.鈥澛�
Since 吃瓜猎奇 relies on being a problem-solver for our clients, we needed to find an equipment supplier who could do the same thing for us. 鈥淎s not just a supplier but a partner, we can lean on Komatsu for different ideas,鈥� Matt says. 鈥淲e can give them a heads up when we鈥檙e going after large projects, and they make sure we get the equipment we need with competitive pricing.鈥�
Komatsu + Wollam: A Case Study of Success
A recent mine reclamation project was a perfect example of why Komatsu is a valuable partner for us. The Komatsu team dedicated a mechanic to our project, guaranteeing less downtime when issues came up. On top of that, their equipment made the project run more efficiently. Our team used the Komatsu D155AX-8 and D375A-8 dozers. These dozers ended up saving our operators time when they got to the bottom of the steep slopes after a push. Unlike the competitor鈥檚 model we were used to, these dozers could back up the hill. Without the need to turn around after each push, we improved productivity.聽
As we continue to scale and grow, it鈥檚 reassuring to have a partner who makes sure access to equipment never slows us down. Komatsu鈥檚 ability to meet our needs is helping us fulfill our client鈥檚 needs, too.
