To simplify field integrations during overflow scheduling, the following operational stipulations and ancillary charges apply to all Unit, Hourly, and Day-Rate contracts.
Unit rates (LF and SF) include standard system-matched Steelwrist attachments (Precision Grading Buckets, Excavating Buckets, and Narrow Trenching Buckets) to achieve engineered design specifications.
Applies to software uploads and digital calibration of DWA site models/plans.
Covers transport to and from the designated job site.
Unit rates assume excavated materials are stockpiled on-site within a 50-foot operational radius of the excavation. Off-site export hauling, mass loading, and dump fees are excluded unless amended in the contract.
For highly dynamic, last-minute commercial job sites where linear or square footage tracking is operationally impractical, we offer flat rates:
$1,600.00 / day
Applies to all equipment without specialized attachments (e.g., demolition, rough grade, or land clearing).
$2,200.00 / day
Applies to ViO80 + Steelwrist + Earthworks Trimble GPS and TL80VS + 6-way grader + Earthworks Trimble GPS.
We specialize in compact equipment that delivers big results. Perfect for residential lots and property development projects.

Our skid steer is the workhorse of every project. With quick-attach capability, it transforms in minutes — from brush cutter to grapple, grader blade to trencher. Compact enough to access tight residential lots, powerful enough to move mountains of material.

When the job outgrows a mini, our 8-ton Yanmar ViO80-7 midi excavator takes over. Still compact enough for residential access, but with the weight, reach, and stability to grade commercial pads and dig deep utility runs. Paired with a Steelwrist tiltrotator and integrated GPS grading, it finishes grades accurately in a single pass.
8-Ton Operating Weight
~17,600 lbs of stable digging force
Steelwrist Tiltrotator
Tilt, rotate and grade with one tool
Integrated GPS Grading
Accurate finish grade in one pass
Longer Reach & Depth
Larger pads and deeper excavation
