Spring Construction

SPRING CONSTRUCTION WITH MCCANN INDUSTRIES

Spring marks a fresh start for construction projects. This season offers a balance of comfortable temperatures, longer daylight hours, and renewed momentum after the winter slowdowns. As sites thaw and weather conditions stabilize, crews can work more efficiently. This makes spring an ideal season for both new builds and renovations. With fewer interruptions from extreme heat or cold, projects often progress quicker and with greater consistency.

Another advantage of spring construction is timing. Starting early in the year allows projects to stay ahead of the busy summer season, which is when contractor availability tightens and costs can rise. By planning and breaking ground in spring, you can take advantage of material availability, potential end-of-winter sales, and focused on-site work. This often results in completion before summer travel, holidays, and peak demand arrive.

WHAT MAKES SPRING CONSTRUCTION DIFFERENT & HOW TO STAY SAFE

Spring construction stands out due to the season’s milder weather and extended daylight, which create ideal conditions for steady progress. Spring temperatures are generally comfortable for workers and equipment, which reduces stress and wear while allowing longer, more productive workdays. Rainfall can also benefit certain projects, such as landscaping or soil preparation, though it requires careful planning to avoid muddy or unstable conditions. Starting projects in spring also helps beat the summer rush to minimize delays and help control costs before demand peaks.

To stay safe and maximize efficiency during spring construction, preparation is key. Early planning, often beginning in winter, helps secure permits, lock in reputable contractors, and define the project scope. Crews should remain mindful of changing weather, including spring rain and fluctuating temperatures, by maintaining clear walkways, managing drainage, and using appropriate protective gear. Booking experienced firms and planning ahead ensures projects stay on schedule. Take full advantage of the spring building window and move smoothly toward completion before the heat of summer sets in with the right strategies and support from McCann Industries.

WHY YOU CAN TRUST McCANN INDUSTRIES

At McCann Industries, we view customer service as the heart of our business. Our team has built a strong reputation for quick responses, expert guidance, and a personal approach that larger corporate suppliers often struggle to match. With local branches, skilled in-house technicians, and fully stocked parts departments, we minimize downtime and enhance productivity, even during the busy Spring months. When you reach out to McCann Industries, you're connecting with dedicated professionals committed to resolving your challenges quickly.

We also aim to provide benefits that make your partnership with us both seamless and rewarding. Our customers can take advantage of flexible financing options, tailored equipment recommendations, convenient delivery services, and ongoing support throughout the entire lifespan of their machines. With offerings like training sessions, product demonstrations, and on-site visits, we ensure you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Winter Construction

WINTER CONSTRUCTUION WITH McCANN INDUSTRIES

Construction projects don’t have to come to a halt when winter arrives. With the right planning, proper equipment, and robust safety practices, construction projects can continue through cold temperatures, snow, and ice while maintaining productivity and quality. Many contractors choose to work year round to meet client demands, avoid seasonal slowdowns, and take advantage of opportunities that winter construction can offer. At McCann Industries, we understand the challenges that winter brings and are here to help contractors prepare for success in colder conditions.

Winter construction necessitates a distinct approach compared to warmer seasons. From protecting workers against cold-related risks to managing materials and equipment affected by freezing temperatures, every aspect of the winter jobsite needs careful consideration. While cold weather can slow certain outdoor tasks, it can also create advantages like less competition, quicker permit approvals, and greater availability of labor and equipment. With proper preparation and support from McCann Industries, contractors can keep projects moving safely and efficiently all winter long.

WHAT MAKES WINTER CONSTRUCTION DIFFERENT & HOW TO STAY SAFE

Winter construction presents challenges that are not typically encountered during warmer months. Cold temperatures can slow concrete curing, make materials more brittle, and increase the potential of frostbite or hypothermia for workers. Snow and ice create slippery surfaces that increase the risk of falls, while frozen ground can complicate excavation and foundation work. Shorter daylight hours also limit available work time, requiring tighter scheduling and greater efficiency. These conditions demand a higher level of planning, flexibility, and attention to detail to keep projects on track.

Staying safe during winter construction starts with protecting workers and managing the jobsite carefully. Proper personal protective equipment, such as layered clothing, insulated boots, gloves, and weather-resistant outerwear helps crews stay warm and focused. Heated break areas, warm beverages, and regular rest periods reduce the risk of cold-related injuries. Jobsite safety measures like frequent snow and ice removal, the use of sand or salt for traction, and clearly marked walkways are also essential. Contractors should also monitor weather forecasts daily, build extra time into schedules, and shift to interior work when outdoor conditions become unsafe. With the right strategies and support from McCann Industries, winter construction can remain efficient, safe, and successful while offering benefits such as reduced competition, faster permit approvals, and better access to labor and materials.

WHY YOU CAN TRUST McCANN INDUSTRIES

At McCann Industries, we believe that customer service goes beyond being just a department. It is the core of our business. Our team has earned a reputation for quick response times, knowledgeable assistance, and a personal touch that large corporate suppliers often find difficult to provide. With local branches, experienced in-house technicians, and well-stocked parts departments, we reduce downtime and boost productivity, even during the winter months. When you reach out to McCann Industries, you connect with dedicated individuals who are focused on resolving your challenges promptly.

We also strive to offer benefits that make partnering with us seamless and rewarding. Our customers enjoy flexible financing options, customized equipment recommendations, convenient delivery services, and ongoing support throughout the entire lifespan of their machines. With training sessions, product demonstrations, and on-site visits, we ensure our customers feel confident and backed at every stage.

McCann Industries Vs. Caterpillar Comparison

HOW McCANN INDUSTRIES DELIVERS MORE VALUE THAN CAT

In the construction industry, few names carry the global recognition of Caterpillar (CAT). The brand is a powerhouse manufacturer known worldwide for producing heavy machinery and engines. However, while CAT builds machines, McCann Industries focuses on something equally important: Delivering contractors the tools, equipment, materials, and support they need to keep projects moving.

As a family-owned regional dealer offering leading brands like CASE, Bobcat, and more, McCann Industries provides a hands-on, service-driven approach that global manufacturers simply can’t match. Our expertise, multi-brand product offerings, and dedicated customer service give us a competitive edge in practical, real-world job site performance. If you're looking for a partner who listens, responds quickly, and delivers the right equipment for the job, not just the equipment with the biggest global name, McCann Industries is the team that gets it done. Here’s how we compare to CAT and why contractors trust our team to help them build, work, and grow every day.

COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

​​While CAT is a global manufacturer focused on producing its own equipment, McCann Industries provides complete solutions tailored to real jobsite needs. Instead of being limited to a single brand, we give contractors access to a broad selection of tools, compact equipment, attachments, and construction materials from leading names like CASE, Bobcat, Toro, Husqvarna, and more. Our multi-brand flexibility gives customers better-fit equipment for their trade, greater availability, and a more comprehensive lineup that includes everything from heavy machinery to essential jobsite tools. The CAT brand’s manufacturing-focused model simply can’t match us.

Beyond equipment, McCann Industries offers expertise and a personalized, service-driven approach. With local parts inventory, fast-turnaround service, an adaptable rental fleet, and direct support from a family-owned team that understands local conditions, contractors get faster, more reliable help than large corporate networks can offer. While CAT builds machines, McCann Industries acts as a true industry partner that provides training, guidance, lifecycle support, and long-term relationships to keep crews productive and projects moving.

WHY BUY FROM McCANN INDUSTRIES?

At McCann Industries, we offer a diverse selection of both new and pre-owned construction equipment tailored to fit every budget and project need. Our new models deliver superior performance, enhanced fuel efficiency, and exceptional comfort for operators. If you’re looking for more economical options, our thoroughly inspected pre-owned and surplus heavy machinery provides reliable operation without breaking the bank. We also purchase any unused equipment you may have, helping you convert those idle assets into quick cash. By choosing McCann Industries, you gain access to a broad array of top brands, including CASE, Takeuchi, Bobcat, Kubota, Deere, CAT, and many others.

Many of our machines come with the McCann Protect Plans, which offer complimentary powertrain coverage for 12 months or 1,000 hours (whichever occurs first) to give you extra peace of mind. If you’re unable to locate what you need on our website, feel free to call us at (331) 236-0276 or email us at used@McCannOnline.com for personalized help from our knowledgeable team.

CASE CX26C Mini Excavator thumb

CASE CX26C Mini Excavator Comparison

CASE CX26C MINI EXCAVATOR VS THE COMPETITION

Those looking to sink their bucket teeth into more jobs will appreciate the strength, speed, and transportability of the CASE CX26C mini excavator. Weighing in at 5,520 lbs., the CX26C strikes the ideal balance between jobsite power and haul-friendly size. It features an impressive 4,740-lb breakout force alongside a zero tailswing design and nearly 8-ft dig depth make it a trusted choice for landscapers, utility crews, and contractors working in residential or damage-sensitive environments.

Standard features include a push blade, auxiliary hydraulics, and an automatic 2-speed shifter. These elements deliver the complete package right out of the gate, helping operators take on more work with confidence and precision. Keep reading to see how the CASE CX26C Mini Excavator compares to rivals like the Caterpillar 300.9D, the John Deere 26G, and the Komatsu PC26MR-5.

COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

Compared to the compact Caterpillar 300.9D, the CASE CX26C offers significantly more capability for real-world job demands. While the Cat model is great for ultra-tight spaces due to its 2,061-lb weight and narrow frame, it falls short in performance compared to the CX26C. The CASE model provides nearly double the horsepower, over twice the operating weight for stability, and a deeper dig depth for real digging power. Its breakout force and zero tailswing design allow it to tackle tough tasks in confined areas. Another rival, the John Deere 26G, boasts competitive specs like an 8-foot, 6-inch dig depth and a 6,110-lb operating weight, but the CX26C still excels with superior breakout force, refined hydraulics, and an automatic 2-speed travel system. While the John Deere model’s reduced-tail-swing design is beneficial, the CASE CX26C features a true zero tailswing with even better clearance. The CASE model also has simpler maintenance access, a reliable Kubota powerplant, and user-friendly equipment that make it more ideal for contractors focused on performance and reliability.

The Komatsu PC26MR-5 provides modern comfort and efficient hydraulic control, but the CX26C remains the more balanced and job-ready option. While the Komatsu model’s weight is slightly higher, the CX26C excels in usability with its robust breakout force and easy-to-use controls that cater to both new and experienced operators. Additionally, the CASE CX26C includes essential features that the Komatsu model reserves for higher configurations. Unlike the Komatsu model, the CASE model comes standard with cylinder protection, a control pattern selector, and standard auxiliary plumbing. For crews who want maximum capability per dollar, the CASE CX26C offers one of the strongest value propositions in the class of 2–3-ton excavators.

WHY BUY FROM MCCANN INDUSTRIES?

At McCann Industries, we offer a diverse selection of new and pre-owned construction equipment tailored to fit every budget and project need. Our new models are engineered for exceptional performance, enhanced fuel efficiency, and superior operator comfort. If you're looking for cost-effective options, our pre-owned and surplus machinery undergoes meticulous inspection to ensure reliable performance at a more competitive price. We also purchase any equipment you no longer need, which allows you to convert those idle assets into quick cash.

When you choose McCann Industries, you gain access to an extensive range of top brands, including CASE, Takeuchi, Bobcat, Kubota, Deere, CAT, and many more.

CASE CX80C Midi Excavator thumb

CASE CX80C Midi Excavator Comparison

CASE CX80C MIDI EXCAVATOR VS THE COMPETITION

The CASE CX80C midi excavator strikes the ideal balance between mid-sized maneuverability and big-machine power. As such, it is a top choice for contractors who require versatility without compromising on power. Its 53.6 horsepower engine offers three work modes that deliver up to 12,800 pounds of breakout force. This is plenty of power for demanding tasks like trenching, pipe placement, and working through rocky or compacted soils.

Operators benefit from a full-size cab, which is rarely found in this class, complete with excellent visibility, climate control, ergonomic adjustability, and reduced noise levels for long, productive days in the seat. Add in simplified emissions technology, fuel-saving performance, and easy centralized maintenance, and the CX80C stands out as a dependable, comfortable, and cost-efficient machine built for serious work. Keep reading to see how it compares to rivals like the Caterpillar 308E2 CR, the John Deere 85D, and the Komatsu PC78US-11.

COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

The CASE CX80C continues to deliver exceptional value in real-world applications. The Cat 308E2 CR offers more horsepower on paper, but the CASE model’s highly efficient powertrain and hydraulic system translate its 53.6 horsepower into strong breakout performance and smooth, responsive control for demanding applications. It also weighs in at a competitive 18,900 pounds to provide solid stability without compromising transportability. Against the Deere 85D, which produces 54 horsepower and carries a similar operating weight, the CX80C distinguishes itself with superior cab comfort and control layout. The Deere model is well known for durability, but the CASE model has a simplified emissions system, centralized greasing, and intuitive service access. These elements give the CX80C the edge in long-term maintenance ease and overall cost of ownership.

The Komatsu PC78US-11 enters the comparison with higher horsepower (68 horsepower) and a compact short-tail-swing design, but it carries a lighter operating weight range of 17,438–18,188 pounds and a smaller bucket capacity. These factors can limit digging force and stability in tougher ground conditions. The CX80C, in contrast, features a conventional design that provides better lifting balance and breakout strength while still maintaining excellent maneuverability for urban, roadside, and utility work. The CASE modem further shines through its spacious cab, user-friendly controls, and reliable, fuel-efficient engine that eliminates the need for complex aftertreatment components like diesel particulate filters. Across all three competitors, the CASE CX80C consistently offers the strongest blend of comfort, controllability, maintenance simplicity, and performance for the price. These elements make it an outstanding choice for contractors looking to maximize productivity and long-term value in a mid-sized excavator.

WHY BUY FROM MCCANN INDUSTRIES?

At McCann Industries, we provide a wide range of both new and pre-owned construction equipment to meet every budget and project requirement. Our new models are designed for outstanding performance, improved fuel efficiency, and exceptional operator comfort.

CASE CX350D Large Crawler Excavator Thumb

CASE CX350D Large Crawler Excavator Comparison

CASE CX350D LARGE CRAWLER EXCAVATOR VS THE COMPETITION

The CASE CX350D large crawler excavator is built for contractors who demand uncompromising power, precision, and efficiency on the jobsite. With 268 horsepower and an impressive bucket breakout force of more than 56,000 pounds, it delivers the muscle needed for high-production applications like pipeline trenching, land clearing, roadbuilding, and foundation work. Operators benefit from fast cycle times, smooth hydraulic responsiveness, and three power modes that adapt performance to the task at hand, from heavy digging to fine grading.

Inside the spacious cab, comfort and control take center stage. The CASE CX350D features an ergonomic design, an intuitive 7-inch LCD display, and a work environment built to reduce fatigue during long days. Add in excellent fuel economy, no-hassle Tier 4 Final emissions compliance, and purpose-built compatibility with advanced machine control systems, and the CX350D stands out as a productivity-driven machine engineered to deliver maximum return on investment. Keep reading to see how the CASE CX350D compares to rivals like the CAT 336 series, the John Deere 350 P-Tier, and the Komatsu PC390LC-11.

COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

When comparing the CASE CX350D to major competitors like the CAT 336 series and the John Deere 350 P-Tier, the CASE model consistently delivers a balanced combination of power, efficiency, and operator-focused design. The CAT 336 offers slightly higher rated horsepower at around 300 horsepower, but the CX350D has more than enough power to tackle demanding excavation tasks without consuming excess fuel. With an operating weight positioned between the Deere 350 P-Tier (about 80,985 lb.) and the heavier CAT 336 (about 81,100 lb.), the CASE model hits a sweet spot. It is heavy enough for stability and breakout strength, yet efficient enough for faster cycle times and lower operating costs. The Deere 350 P-Tier produces similar horsepower (271), but the CX350D distinguishes itself through its CASE Intelligent Hydraulics system. This feature optimizes power delivery, refines control, and contributes to exceptional performance in both heavy cutting and detailed finish work. The CASE model also has three power modes—Automatic, Heavy, and Speed Priority—that allow operators to precisely match performance to the application in ways many competing models can’t fully replicate.

Stacked up against the Komatsu PC390LC-11, the CX350D continues to shine as a more versatile and efficiency-minded machine. The Komatsu delivers 257 horsepower and carries a significantly higher operating weight of up to 90,441 pounds, which can boost stability but often results in higher transportation costs and reduced maneuverability in certain applications. The CX350D offers comparable digging strength and superior cycle speed, while avoiding the drawbacks associated with extra mass. Its advanced hydraulic system, operator-focused cab, and fuel-efficient engine help reduce daily operating costs. This advantage becomes increasingly valuable on long-duration projects. While all three competitors bring strong capabilities to the table, the CASE CX350D excels by delivering high-end performance without compromising efficiency, comfort, or versatility. These aspects make it a leading choice for contractors who prioritize productivity and long-term value.

WHY BUY FROM MCCANN INDUSTRIES?

At McCann Industries, we offer an extensive selection of both new and pre-owned construction equipment designed to suit every budget and project need.

CASE CX145D SR Large Crawler Excavator thumb

CASE CX145D SR Large Crawler Excavator Comparison

CASE CX145D SR LARGE CRAWLER EXCAVATOR VS THE COMPETITION

The CASE CX145D SR minimum-swing radius crawler excavator is built for contractors who need serious digging and lifting performance in spaces where a conventional excavator simply won’t fit. With an operating weight of 32,100 lbs and 102 horsepower on tap, it delivers the muscle you expect from a 14- or 15-ton machine while remaining easy to transport from job to job. Its short-radius, tailswing design lets operators work confidently along roadsides, next to structures, and in tight urban sites without constantly worrying about the counterweight.

With features like a bucket breakout force that tops 21,000 lbs, smooth and responsive hydraulics, and three selectable power modes, the CASE CX145D SR delivers fast, efficient cycle times. Add a proven, fuel-efficient engine, easy-access service points, and OEM-fit 2D and 3D machine control options, and this excavator stands out as a high-productivity, high-value tool ready for today’s demanding job sites. Keep reading to see how the CASE CX145D SR compares to rivals like the Cat 315, the Komatsu PC138USLC-11, and the John Deere 160 P-Tier.

COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

The CASE CX145D SR stands out against the Cat 315 and Komatsu PC138USLC-11 for its blend of performance, agility, and practicality. While the Cat 315 offers slightly higher horsepower (108 vs 102) and weighs around 34,000 lbs, this extra weight hinders mobility on weight-restricted roads. The CX145D SR features a lighter, 32,100-lb design that enhances transportability while providing strong breakout performance of over 21,000 lbs, alongside quick hydraulic response. Compared to the Komatsu PC138USLC-11, which delivers up to 97.2 horsepower and weighs up to 37,547 lbs, the CASE machine combines more power with less weight. This results in more effective digging and lifting without unnecessary bulk.

When looking at the heavier John Deere 160 P-Tier, the CASE CX145D SR remains the more nimble and efficiency-driven choice. The Deere boasts about 122 horsepower and weighs approximately 39,526 lbs. As such, it’s better suited for larger job sites. The CX145D SR, in contrast, features a minimum-swing design that minimizes the risk of jobsite damage and a balanced power-to-weight ratio that prioritizes fuel efficiency and control. Its easy maintenance and attachment compatibility further improve uptime and operator confidence, making the CASE CX145D SR the most practical and ROI-focused choice in its class.
