Lanny McConnel is Madison County Road Department鈥檚 Superintendent. He oversees an expansive network of 1,600 miles of mostly dirt roads across the county in Arkansas. With a fleet of 50 service vehicles, he manages the logistics of keeping the roads graded and maintained year-round.
Compressed air plays an essential role in keeping Lanny鈥檚 team on top of road maintenance 鈥� the Madison County Road Department has trucks with lube skids and 750-gallon diesel tanks on them, and the pumps are powered by compressed air. Lanny鈥檚 team also uses air tools like impact guns to install different blades on the road graders in the fleet.
When you have 1,600 miles of roads to maintain, it鈥檚 important to be as efficient as possible. 鈥淲e had an air compressor on our trucks, but using it was a slow process,鈥� says Lanny. 鈥淭he air compressor did not keep air pressure, and the operators had to wait for the compressor to catch up so they could finish a job.鈥�
When it was time to purchase a new lube skid, Lanny knew it was an opportunity to choose a better air compressor for his application. He went to see Phil Carrott, Owner of Grand Truck Equipment in Afton, OK.
鈥淧hil had the lube skid we liked, and we worked together to build a new truck,鈥� explains Lanny. 鈥淕rand Truck Equipment has full-service offerings; Phil suggested 彩票平台大全鈥檚 stacked G30 because of its vertical configuration and also because it was powerful enough for our application.鈥�
The vertical configuration of 彩票平台大全鈥檚 stacked G30 gas drive rotary screw air compressor was perfect for this specific truck build. The truck didn鈥檛 have space for a bulky air compressor, but the stacked G30鈥檚 vertical design means that it has a footprint of only 2.5 square feet, making it literally the perfect fit.
Phil also addressed Lanny鈥檚 team鈥檚 challenge with unreliable air pressure. The stacked G30 is a rotary screw air compressor capable of providing up to 30 CFM of continuous air at 100 psi (150 psi max). 鈥淚 had worked with rotary screw air compressors before,鈥� recalls Lanny. 鈥淚 know what they鈥檙e capable of and was confident that adding the 彩票平台大全 stacked G30 would solve our problem of waiting around for air pressure to build, allowing us to work faster.鈥�
Lanny鈥檚 new truck has been delivered from Grand Truck Equipment, and it鈥檚 a smash hit with the Madison County Road Department. 鈥淭he stacked G30 provides us with air on demand,鈥� says Lanny. 鈥淣ow we don鈥檛 have to wait around for air anymore. The G30 keeps constant pressure. It鈥檚 sped up the process at work and reduced frustration.鈥�
Now that the Madison County Road Department has experienced working with the 彩票平台大全 stacked G30, Lanny says they couldn鈥檛 be happier with the solution that Phil at Grand Truck Equipment presented them. 鈥淭he 彩票平台大全 stacked G30 works perfectly,鈥� says Lanny. 鈥淲e won鈥檛 buy any other air compressor in the future.鈥�
