Wide Range of Heavy Machinery Available

Excavators

Excavators are the workhorses of many job sites. They can dig trenches, lift heavy objects, and handle demolition tasks. At McDowell Equipment, we stock excavators from brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, John Deere, and Volvo. We understand that each project has unique requirements, so we source a variety of sizes and types:

  • Mini Excavators for small construction or landscaping tasks.
  • Hydraulic Excavators for large-scale digging and loading.
  • Long-Reach Excavators for deep or hard-to-reach areas.

 

If you need a specialized excavator attachment or model we don’t carry at the moment, we’ll tap into our global network to find it.

 

Bulldozers

Bulldozers are indispensable when it comes to earthmoving, land clearing, and leveling. We’re proud to offer dozers from big names like Caterpillar, John Deere, and Komatsu. These machines excel in pushing large quantities of soil, sand, or debris. We can help you choose the right blade type and size to tackle jobs like:

  • Road Building: Creating new roads or clearing existing paths.
  • Landscaping: Reshaping terrain for construction or agriculture.
  • Site Preparation: Leveling ground for buildings and infrastructure.

Our team also offers guidance on dozer rentals and purchasing options to help you stay within your budget.

 

Underground Trucks

In mining or tunneling operations, safety and efficiency depend on rugged, well-designed underground trucks. McDowell Equipment has years of experience working with mine operators, so we understand the demands of hauling heavy loads in confined environments. Brands such as Sandvik and Atlas Copco (Epiroc) are known for their reliable underground vehicles. We make sure to inspect each truck thoroughly, ensuring it can handle:

  • Steep Inclines in underground sites.
  • Low Overhead Clearance typical of tunnels.
  • Tough Conditions that include dust, heat, and moisture.

We’re well-versed in mining regulations and can help you select the right capacity and safety features for your operation.

 

Motor Graders

Motor graders excel at creating smooth, even surfaces, which is vital for road construction, airport runways, and large-scale landscaping. Well-known manufacturers like Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, and Volvo offer graders with various horsepower ratings and blade widths. Some standout applications include:

  • Road Maintenance: Smoothing out rough or unpaved roads.
  • Finish Grading: Achieving precise contouring and leveling.
  • Snow Removal: Fitting a grader with a specific blade for clearing roads in winter.

Our inventory is designed to give you flexibility, and if your project calls for something with unique specs, we’ll source it.

 

Backhoes

When you need a multi-purpose machine for digging, loading, and light demolition, a backhoe loader is hard to beat. Top brands like JCB, Case, Caterpillar, and John Deere consistently deliver reliable performance. Backhoes are well-suited for:

  • Trench Digging: Ideal for utility work and small-scale construction.
  • Loading Trucks: Use the front loader for moving loose materials.
  • Landscaping: Perfect for digging holes for trees or drainage systems.

Their versatility makes them popular on farms, municipal projects, and general construction sites.

 

Wheel Loaders

Wheel loaders are essential for tasks like material handling and loading trucks. They come in different sizes and offer various bucket capacities, so you can easily handle gravel, soil, or debris. We carry brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, and Kawasaki. Wheel loaders are ideal for:

  • Quarry Operations: Moving large amounts of rock or aggregate.
  • Construction Cleanup: Picking up debris from demolition sites.
  • Stockpile Management: Organizing and moving inventory in mining or aggregate yards.

Our staff can help you pick the right attachments, including specialized buckets or forks, to increase your wheel loader’s efficiency.

 

Additional Specialized Heavy Machinery

In addition to excavators, dozers, and other mainstays, we also handle:

  • Rock Trucks for hauling massive loads in mining and construction.
  • Skid Steers for compact job sites where maneuverability matters.
  • Forklifts and Telehandlers for warehouses, large retail sites, or farm operations.
  • Cranes for lifting heavy materials at high elevations.

If you need a unique machine or want to explore custom options, let us know. We’ll either point you to our current inventory or work with our worldwide contacts to secure exactly what you need.
