Heavy Equipment
Each response cell consists of specially designed equipment able to handle the most crucial needs concerning disaster response. We have custom-designed cranes with hydraulic crushing heads and multi-terrain skid steers with hydraulic grapples able to remove building debris, trees, mud and cars that block roadways. We use this heavy equipment and our expertise to open up critical roadways so ambulances, fire departments, state troopers and humanitarian organizations can move quickly to reach citizens in need.
These assets, operated by highly qualified personnel, allow us to assist with the ice and snowstorms of the north, the hurricanes along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, the tornados and windstorms of the Midwest, the earthquakes of the West Coast, and flooding throughout the country.

Mobile Support Truck for Self-Sufficiency
Disaster-torn communities can be remote, desolate and otherwise inaccessible which requires that our team remain self-sufficient by traveling with a mechanical support truck fully equipped with spare parts, tools, and supplies needed to perform on site equipment repairs. These trucks are equipped with fuel, chain saws, torches, and various rigging devises.
- Mechanics tools needed to repair equipment on site
- Spare parts, tires and fuel
