Cat Mini Excavator

Many of our recent projects, and most of our larger projects call for some sort of excavation. So much so, that we bought our own brand new excavation equipment. Between trying to coordinate others, and rental fees, we found that owning our own just made more sense.

This is one more thing that sets Levco apart from the competition.

Can You Dig It? I can!

There is nothing like the feeling of mastering a tools that is capable of digging swiftly and accurately. Having it available at all times allows us to be more efficient and stay on a tighter schedule. No more waiting for the excavator in most cases.

  • Footings for foundations
  • Basements
  • Egress windows
  • Drainage systems
  • Sewer lines
  • Gas lines
  • Water lines
  • Earth work in general

We teach our staff the fundamentals and maintain our own equipment with the manufactures backup. Yes, it is true, while you are learning there is a perma-grin on your face. My cheeks hurt the next day. I doubt that I will get to operate it much, but I could in a pinch. It was a manly wright of passage that I think everyone should experience. The awesome power and dexterity that the machine has is memorizing.

The next two pieces of equipment we are looking to own are a dump truck and a tracked skid steer.
