Power Curbers Customer Testimonials

Good News From Our Customers

Welcoming Associates

“I’m so glad I went with Power Curbers. I love the small business feeling that I have working with them. I’ve never once felt like I couldn’t reach who I needed to. It feels so intimate. From ordering my molds and parts to everything in between, everyone has always made me feel like I was part of that business.”

Danielle W., Saco, ME

Power Curbers Family

“I just want to let you know how happy we are with Power Curbers!!! You told us when we purchased the machine that we were now in the Power Curber family and you guys really meant it!! A lot of people say they are going to help and don’t come through. Loyalty is very big to us so you will have customers for a long time!! Can’t say enough good things about Carlos [Product Support Technician] as he goes above and beyond!! He has helped us tremendously!!! Look forward to working with you all in the future!!”

Jeff S., Red Hook, NY

Companywide Dedication

“I would be remiss also not to say something about the Power Curber operation as a whole. Whether I am dealing with you guys from here, with you guys here, or with us there… it’s always the same consistent high quality of individuals and service. The service is the job but the individuals that you get are what kills me. That quality starts at the top and can stop and various levels on the way down fairly easily but it doesn’t. I tend to poke around a little looking for that low level individual that is unhappy or not engaged in the program. I can’t find one in your operation and that should make you proud all the way back up to the top. I stand in awe and respect. You can say that the most valuable training I personally got there was a great example of what I should be doing, a target for me to hit, and renewed excitement about what we hope to accomplish here. Salute Phil, the guys in the shop, Robin in parts, but don’t forget to take some for yourself and the guys up top. Well done.”

Dwayne V., Grand Prairie, TX

Texture and Curing Machines

“The texture cure machine is doing a great job. There’s no drift in the product. It’s nice and straight and will be a good ride. The city is delighted with the work and so am I.”

Nick K., Iowa City, IA

Form Paver

“It’s an excellent machine. There’s no telling how many yards of concrete we’ve put through that machine. It’s been in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. We’ve had it in every configuration there is, paving from 15 to 32 feet wide. As far as the people servicing it, there’s none better than Power Pavers. We’ve solved every problem over the phone. I’ve been around these things half my life and they have, too. It puts out an excellent product, as long as you don’t try to make a bulldozer out of it. If you try to push too much material through it and it’s too dry, you’ll have a problem. Two and a half to 3-inch slump works great. As long as you run your vibrators and watch your travel speed, it will slick it down as pretty as a picture.”

Drew B., Louisville, KY

Form Paver

“Basically we do 12 and half-foot city streets, and the form paver is doing great. It pulls up the curb on the edge. Man, it works good. We have the automatic steering sensor and feel lucky to have it. We’ve also done taxis to the runway out at the airport and occasionally 17-foot paving”.

“Paving was a good move for us.”

Chris C., Lake Charles, LA

Slipform Pavers

“The slipform pavers are more efficient and speed up production. They work real well for city streets. These slipform pavers are very easy to move. Occasionally, we pave a couple of different jobs in one day and have to move from one site to another. Moving is not a problem. The SF-3000 lifts itself and you back right under the machine. These machines are user friendly.”

Kelly C., Cedar Falls, IA

SF-3000

“The overall product is great. It’s pretty tolerant of slump changes. With drier or wetter mud, the product comes out pretty consistent. “Some sections are zero profilagraph. It doesn’t get any better than that. “We pave up to 33 feet wide. Overall, it’s a great machine.”

Randy S., Denver, CO

SF-3000

“It’s easy to move. You don’t have to break it down into several pieces to move. That saves time on set-up.”

Rick, Denver, CO

 

SF-3000

“The slipform pavers cut out labor and are pretty simple to operate. We don’t have to have trucks and trailers to haul forms around, or a crane to load. There’s at least a 30 percent labor reduction. It’s not uncommon for us to pave in the morning, get done, load and go to another job in the afternoon. Transport is a big thing for us.”

“I like the hydraulic sensors. They’ve been trouble-free.”

Dave S., Iowa City, IA

 

SF-2700

“I like the machine primarily because it’s not too big. I don’t need a big 4-track machine for development work. I have to be able to move it in and out quickly and not take a lot of time with set-up. Before I bought the slipform machine, I used to set forms. I had four form riders. Business is so competitive. You can’t do the volume you have to do with form pavers. It took two Cats and a semi to load a form paver. A whole day, by the time you tore it apart, moved dit and put it back together. With the slipform machine, I don’t have to do any disassembly or reassembly. Just load it up and move. You can drive it off, then drive it on grade and go. It takes 15 minutes to load. I don’t have time to load up a machine for 45 minutes. The smoothness is there. It puts out a good product. “The equipment is easy to train guys to operate and easy to maintain. I like the hydraulic sensors. They’re easy to understand.”

Nick K., Iowa City, IA

Placer Spreader

“The placer spreader works very well and is easy to load. You back up and it will lift itself up and you drive u under it. We’re pleased with the results and the service. The ease of working on the equipment is one of the original reason I bought the equipment.”

Kelly C., Cedar Falls, IA

Customer Testimonial

We deal with all the heavy equipment manufacturers. I rate Power Pavers service 1 out of 100. Everything Power Pavers said came 100% true. They told us what we wanted to hear and then delivered.

John M.,Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Customer Testimonial

“We’re very pleased. They’re one of the more efficient vendors that we deal with. They get it out on time, however we order it. If they refer you to Tech Support, those guys are good about following up. I’ve been ordering for 14 years. It’s been a good experience.”

Charlie D., Dothan, AL

Customer Testimonial

“You can tell the Parts Department when you want it, and I can’t think of a single time it hasn’t been here. I can be ordering and they will say, ‘That’s not what you want’. They’re very knowledgeable. I’ve been ordering from Power Curbers for 12 years.”

Wayne B., Winder, GA

“We fill up the auger and then slide the machine to transport mode to get to those tight spots.”

Chad G., Menomonie, WI

5700-C

“The auger is a better way to deliver the mix to the hopper. I remember a lot of headaches with the belt.”

Lewis R., Evans, GA

5700-C

“The best thing is the auger. We save about 8 minutes on a truck. You multiply that out and realize we can do much more work in a day.”

Ron L., Laval, QC

5700-C

“We had problems trimming and pouring at the same time with a competitive machine. The machine just didn’t have the hydraulic power. Now, (with the Power Curber), if it’s within 1, 2 or 3 inches (25mm, 50mm, 75mm), I don’t have to pre-trim. It saves fuel and time.”

William I., Richmond, VA

5700-C

“With higher sub-grade, you don’t have to worry. That trimmer is going to trim right through it.”

Troy R., Ft. Myers, FL

“Offsetting the mold saves a lot of time with rehab.”

Tim A., Lockland, OH

5700-C

“In the downtown area, there are a lot of obstacles. Every road is done differently. The versatility of the machine, especially the hydraulics (shifting vertically and horizontally) is what attracted me to the machine.”

John S., Bolton, Ontario

5700-C

“That wash-down saves the operator a lot of time.”

Bruno R., Woodbridge, Ontario

“Power Curbers does a good job redesigning the machine, while keeping in mind the contractor will be using existing molds.”

Jay S., Hampden, ME

5700-C

“The horsepower is an advantage with monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk. With the other machine, we were maxed out. This one’s got the horsepower to do anything we want to do.”

Dan H., Twin Falls, Idaho

5700-C

“It has get-up-and-go and we can get an extra 1,500 to 2,00 feet a day. Once everything is set up and going, I can run faster with the Power Curber than (the competition). When everything is going good, I can empty the truck out in 8 to 10 minutes and never stop the machine. That’s where we get our footage.”

Rodney S., Rogers, Arkansas

5700-C

“The engine’s quiet enough (that you can) talk on your cell phone while running the machine. You can’t keep everybody moving if you can’t communicate.”

Eddie C., Floyds Knob, IN

5700-C

“The Cummins engine is easier to get parts and service. The Power Curber is as good as it gets. It’s just a better design.”

Chris H., Arlington, TN

5700-C

“It’s safer and a real big improvement. In some areas, you wouldn’t be able to take the machine in (without this). Loading from the front really impressed me.” (Referring to our swivel chute and single lane pour capability.)

Tony O., Baltimore City, MD

“I can’t believe I ever owned a machine without this Quick Connect.”

Bryan L., Honea Path, SC

5700-C

“The Quick Connect has really been a time saver.”

E.B. W., Wilson, NC

5700-C

“We can change the mold on the Power Curber quickly. (The competitor’s) machine took two men about two hours to set up for a different pour.”

Andy F., Asheville, NC

5700-C

“Whoever came up with the Quick Connect is a genius. It’s so easy. I wouldn’t buy a machine without the Quick Connect, we change the mold out in 5 minutes, it’s such a bummer changing molds the old way: Everybody is waiting on you.”

Ernie M., Denver, CO

5700-C

“Before, it took two men, plus me, to do a transition from holding curb to spilling. One had to adjust each sensor and another man was dialing to change the pitch on the machine. The micro automatically recalibrates the sensor. Now, I can do it alone from the operator’s platform.”

Bryan L., Honea Path, SC
