McGuires Excavating & Trucking
Inc. Upgrade Wash Plant for
Increased Capacity Family Business
McGuires Excavating & Trucking Inc. is a family run business located in Terre Haute, Indiana, that has been operating for over 33 years. Established in 1986, the company first started washing aggregates in 2007, producing sand and gravel for the expanding local construction and concrete industry. Earlier this year they made the decision to upgrade their washing plant to allow them to offer a higher volume, and a wider range of high quality materials to their loyal customer base. Through the investment in new Terex Washing Systems (TWS) equipment and technology they have been able to maximise profits and eliminate inefficiencies in their production process. Commenting on the project, Ryan McGuire, Vice President, McGuire’s Excavating & Trucking Inc. commented ‘Increasing our production and our salable
material was our reason for looking at a new solution. We initially considered a few at different
options, however the reason we opted for this TWS washing solution was due to the capability to make multiple sands and
aggregates at any one time and in addition the local dealer support on the ground, which was crucial not only for the build, but for the life-
cycle of the plant thereafter.
Ryan added ‘meeting with both the manufacturer and our local dealer several times reassured us in terms of our final decision. We instantly knew this would be the best relationship for us moving forward.’
World Class Support
Terex Washing Systems (TWS) and their local territory dealer, Powerscreen Crushing and Screening, worked very closely with McGuire’s Excavating & Trucking Inc. to provide a solution suited to their needs and desired end products. The solution was specified following several site visits, plant proposals and customer specific design modifications, as well as samples of the feed material being sent for further testing
at TWS Headquarters in Dungannon, Northern Ireland. Commenting on the support, Ryan McGuire commented, ‘The support we got directly from TWS and from our dealer has been absolutely amazing.’
Whilst TWS is headquartered in Northern Ireland, they also have a full facility and team based in Louisville, Kentucky, so
to easily serve the USA customers alongside their dealer network. The service and support from TWS, along
with their distributor, is typical of what customers can expect when purchasing a TWS product.
TWS offer their expertise and highly skilled team of engineers to assist and guide
the customer from the initial conception to final installation.
