Louisiana Machinery’s Compact Construction Equipment Helping Small Business Owners Succeed
Le Talley-Ho Construction Co., has never been one to pour money down the drain, especially the ones they’ve constructed. So, when it came time to purchase high-end equipment, the budget-conscious company only had one place in mind, Louisiana Machinery.
“Our experience with Louisiana Machinery has been great and couldn’t be better” said Pat Talley, owner of Le Talley-Ho Construction Co. Le Talley-Ho Construction Co., a 30-year company, is a commercial, governmental and residential contractor with 12 employees that performs dirt, asphalt, tar and gravel work. Le Talley-Ho Construction Co. also constructs storm drains and performs saw cement work in the Lafayette area.
Relying upon Louisiana Machinery for their compact equipment needs, Le Talley-Ho Construction Co., currently owns a Caterpillar 297 Multi Terrain Loader and a 315 Excavator. In the past, they’ve also owned two D4 Track Type Tractors and a D5H, a Track Loader, two 931C LGP’s and a 205 Excavator as well as a 12F and a 14E Motor Grader.
Noting their positive experience with CAT® equipment such as the 297C Multi Terrain Loader, Pat said other equipment just pales in comparison. “It’s really nice. Nicest one we have tried and we tried the Bobcat, Case and John Deere. They were nothing compared to this.” Le Talley-Ho Construction Co. employees depend on their Cat equipment in order to haul heavy pipe around the different job sites and to move pallets of materials from place to place.
“We rely heavily on our skid steers to move materials around, move and place drainage pipes and place dirt into areas we can’t get into with other equipment,” Pat said. As for their reliability, during one job, they hauled away more than 4,000 yards of dirt with a single piece of compact equipment.
Adding value to his company, Pat cited his business relationship with Louisiana Machinery Compact Construction Equipment Salesman James Revels as an integral part of his team’s success. Pat continues to rely on Louisiana Machinery and its compact equipment because of their proven track record.
“It’s all about the service,” Pat said. “They just outperform all the other companies that we tried. We tried a Bobcat and it took four weeks or more for them to show up at the job site. And when they did bring a piece of equipment the tracks were too small.”
Pat said James, on the other hand, is always there when you need him. “All you have to do is ask him to do something and he’ll take care of it,” Pat said. Le Talley-Ho Construction Co.’s workmanship is currently on display at the Sugar Crest Shopping Center in Broussard, La., where the team constructed the shopping center’s sidewalks and storm drains.
