Customer Profile: Franconia Township, PA
January 5, 2022Reflecting on a Legacy
We spend some time with retiring Superintendent of Highways Paul Nice. A hometown kid who dedicated his 56 year career to serve his community in Franconia Township’s Public Works Department.
The township has been utilizing a CASE 621B Wheel Loader to handle snow removal, road maintenance and other development projects across the community for over a quarter century. This day saw a changing of the guard as the team said goodbye to their trusted 621B and took delivery of a their new CASE 621G Wheel Loader.
Eagle Power & Equipment is proud to provide this dedicated team the tools they need to serve their community for years to come!

And now, with new adjustable electro-hydraulic controls, an all-new touchscreen display and all-new collaborative fleet management technologies, the 621G delivers a powerful combination of productivity, efficiency and uptime.
How To Get Snow Removal Contracts
December 16, 2021Professional landscapers often expand their business offerings to include commercial property maintenance, providing snow and ice removal through the winter months. Although winter seems evasive lately, you know it’s eventually going to snow this year.
Before you invest time and materials into adding snow removal services to your business model, though, make sure you’re strategic in gaining contracts that help cover the costs of any snow removal equipment you invest in, as well as its maintenance.
You’ll want to get annual contracts, preferably with commercial properties where your margins are going to be higher than those from residential. Read further for tips on how to get snow removal contracts.

July 23, 2021Are you a contractor who dreams of launching your own excavation company? Nearly every construction project needs excavation services yet not all of them have the equipment nor expertise among their crew to facilitate excavation in-house.

Following is a compilation of tips to help you better prepare for such a venture, assuming you have the capital to start your next steps.
