“World’s Greatest!” Features Mobile Concrete Plant

WAUKESHA, Wis. - May 31, 2013 - PRLog -- “World’s Greatest!”, a popular television program, produced a segment featuring a mobile concrete plant sold by FESCO Direct LLC of Waukesha, WI. The “World’s Greatest!” television program features behind-the-scenes footage and interviews of the most unique companies, products, people and travel destinations in the world. The show featured the model 275 portable concrete plant, a popular concrete plant because it features self-contained power, does not require concrete foundation, hydraulically sets up without need for a crane and had production capacities nearing 200 cu yd/hr. More information on the 275 portable concrete plant can be found at http://fescodirect.com/concrete-plan/mobile-and-portable-ready-mix-plants/.

The show filmed segments at the factory as well as actual jobsites to enable viewers to see how concrete is produced in large amounts for construction and road projects. The producers pay special attention to the concrete plant of choice for contractors who want to produce concrete on-site or be able to move their concrete plant between locations. Most concrete plants require a concrete slab or piers for a foundation and need to have a crane or other heavy lift device to set up the equipment.  The 275 mobile concrete plant is different. Its low profile design enables it to be leveled hydraulically and set up on the included jack pads on any well compacted area without need for a concrete foundation. The plant also uses hydraulics to erect the 58 ton overhead silo enabling two men to set up the plant in under an hour.

Other distinguishing factors were considered in the shows decision to feature the 275 mobile concrete plant as opposed to other popular concrete plants. One of the features unique to the 275 concrete plant is an on board 173 Horsepower John Deere Diesel Engine. This engine is large enough to supply all the power necessary to operate the concrete plant.  While other concrete plant manufacturers have taken steps to improve portability, only the 275 has self-contained power. Other plants require an electrical connection that can costs thousands of dollars to be brought to a site.  The 275 mobile plant does not need to consider a power source when locating to a jobsite.  The 275 makes efficient use of DC power and the most modern of hydraulic technology to efficiently produce large amounts of concrete for even the busiest of jobsites.  An optional electrical power hookup is available with the 275 for jobsites where conventional power is available or where use of the diesel generator is not desired.

Increased profitability is available for operators of the 275 concrete plant because one of the most expensive components of concrete is the cost of delivery. Owners of the 275 concrete plant are able to remove the expense of trucking concrete sometimes 20 or more miles round trip by simply moving the 275 concrete plant to the jobsite.  Now a five or six truck fleet can deliver the quantity of long range 20+ truck fleet at a fraction of the cost. Best of all, the highly portable 275 concrete plants is competitively priced with portable and stationary concrete plants of similar output.
