Road Machinery LLC partners with IROCK Crushers to showcase mobile plants at IROCK Demo Day
Road Machinery LLC and IROCK Crushers recently co-hosted IROCK Demo Day at a quarry in Phoenix. During the event, Road Machinery and IROCK employees answered customers’ questions and demonstrated the capabilities of several IROCK mobile machines, including screening plants, a cone plant, a jaw plant, and an impactor plant.
“We’re excited to showcase our new line of equipment from IROCK,” declared Chris Bennett, Vice President of Product Support for Road Machinery. “These plants are in high demand due to infrastructure growth in Arizona and California. Everybody needs rock and concrete, and we’re excited to meet our customers’ needs.”
IROCK Demo Day was more than a product showcase. It highlighted the importance of the machinery in the mining and aggregate business and outlined unique features that distinguish IROCK machines from their competitors.
“We aim to bring to the market machines that are user-friendly and simple enough for people of any skill set to learn and use quickly,” stated Dan Davis, Western Region Manager/Senior Technical Sales Manager for IROCK. “We are oriented toward the contractor market, where the labor force changes frequently, and we believe our machines cater perfectly to this environment.”
The event also emphasized the integral role of support in the industry. Road Machinery technicians underwent significant training in the week leading up to the event to ensure that they could support the products effectively.
Impressed customers
IROCK Demo Day was well-received by attendees, who appreciated the opportunity to see the machines in action and explore the potential benefits for their operations.
“We want to reduce the consumption of fuel when we are blending the limestone material with the cement,” noted Rodrigo Casanovas, Quarry Manager/Engineer at National Cement in California. “Right now, California has many regulations about emissions and dust, so we are looking at the IROCK machines to maintain our environmental standards.”
Jim Nichols, General Manager for Kilauea Crushers Inc., was particularly impressed by the portability of the IROCK machines.
“Although we have primarily used permanent plants, we’re always looking at different options for ways to improve our production capabilities,” said Nichols. “There are cases where it would be convenient to have mobile plants. This event allowed us to see how mobile plants might impact our process.”
Nate Russell, Director of Sales and Business Development for IROCK, summed up the spirit of the day by stating, “We do these types of things to support our dealers and put our equipment to work in front of the end-user, so they can touch it, feel it, and see how it works in a different environment. We appreciate everybody who took time out of their day to attend the event, and we look forward to building relationships between Road Machinery, IROCK and our customers.” ■
