Our DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ process is built around one simple goal: helping contractors work faster, safer, and more efficiently by eliminating the limitations of gas-powered concrete equipment. From consultation to purchase and long-term support, our team guides customers through every step of adopting DEWALT POWERSHIFT™, including ensuring that the system is properly matched to their applications, crews, and jobsite demands.

Our expertise and follow-through set our process apart from the competition. We don’t just sell tools, we help contractors transition to a fully cordless concrete workflow with confidence. Our team understands the technical advantages of DEWALT POWERSHIFT™, supports setup and configuration, and provides ongoing service, parts access, and training.

HOW THE DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ PROCESS WORKS

DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ is a revolutionary cordless equipment platform designed to replace gas-powered concrete tools without sacrificing power, runtime, or performance. Powered by a 554Wh battery equivalent to 7 horsepower, POWERSHIFT™ delivers consistent output, longer runtimes, and quieter operation. It is ideal for demanding concrete applications where timing, precision, and communication matter. Tools like the DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ Vibrator Kit for sale at McCann Industries provide consistent 12,000 VPM performance, support stiff slumps, and are optimized for structural concrete work such as columns, walls, footers, and piers.

At McCann Industries, the benefits are immediate and long-term. Our inventory of DEWALT POWERSHIFT™ products eliminates fuel handling, oil changes, filters, and the downtime associated with gas equipment that sits between jobs. With fast battery charging, wireless tool control, and integrated TOOL CONNECT™+ technology, contractors gain visibility into tool location, utilization, and asset management through the DEWALT Site Manager™ app. The result is fewer interruptions, lower operating costs, improved jobsite communication, and equipment that’s always ready to perform when crews are on the clock.

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.

When you reach out to McCann Industries, you're connecting with dedicated professionals committed to resolving your challenges quickly.

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.

By choosing McCann Industries, you're selecting a partner dedicated to nurturing your business's growth today and for many years to come.

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.

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 team works closely with customers to match them with the right equipment, tools, and materials. This way, we ensure that every job runs smoothly, efficiently, and safely.

But what truly sets McCann Industries apart is our focus on delivering complete solutions rather than simply selling equipment. From heavy machinery to specialty tools, from parts support to service and rentals, we provide everything needed to tackle today’s projects and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges. When you choose us, you’re choosing a partner invested in your success.

TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, & RENTALS: MORE OPTIONS, BETTER SOLUTIONS

One of the biggest advantages of choosing McCann Industries is the sheer variety of tools and equipment we offer compared to traditional single-brand dealers. Instead of being limited to one manufacturer, our customers enjoy access to a wide range of industry-leading brands, including CASE, Bobcat, Husqvarna, Wacker Neuson, Toro, and more. This gives contractors the freedom to select the best tool for their specific trade or project, whether they need compact equipment, attachments, power tools, or concrete solutions.

In addition to our extensive retail inventory, McCann Industries offers a robust rental fleet designed to fill short-term gaps, increase productivity, and help crews stay flexible. From mini excavators and skid steers to pumps, generators, compaction tools, and trench equipment, our rental options ensure you always have the right tool at the right time. Whether you’re buying or renting, we provide equipment that’s ready to perform.

WHY BUY FROM McCANN INDUSTRIES?

At McCann Industries, customer service is more than a department: It’s the heart of our business.

With local branches, in-house technicians, and well-stocked parts departments, we minimize downtime and maximize productivity. When you call McCann Industries, you get in contact with real people committed to solving real problems, right away.

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. To ensure your equipment remains operational, we provide same-day parts and contractor supplies, along with certified technicians available for on-site service 24/7 to reduce downtime and keep your projects on track. What differentiates us from other construction sales companies is our unwavering commitment to your success, extending well beyond your purchase. Get in touch with us today and discover the McCann Industries difference!

For generations, the Otto family has been part of the fabric of the Sandwich Fair. Their father, Augie Otto, built the one quarter scale steam train that has delighted fair goers since 1953. Known as “Otto’s Train,” the ride was originally the Iron Pony and later replaced in 1974 by a replica of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 3000 class locomotive, handcrafted with care by Augie.

Today, brothers Allen Otto and Norman Otto proudly carry on that tradition. The train, the rides, the smiles of children and families—these aren’t just fairground attractions. They reflect a deeper commitment to heritage, craftsmanship and reliability. “They’ve kept their father’s legacy alive,” the local press noted. The train stands not only as a centerpiece at the fair, but as a testament to the Otto family’s dedication – and that same dedication shows up in how they equip their business.

Allen has been a longtime customer of McCann Industries and a faithful Takeuchi owner since the brand arrived in the U.S. His previous machine, a TL10, was purchased from McCann Account Manager JR Boerner in August 2016. The relationship runs deep. This past season, that partnership came full circle at the Sandwich Fair when Allen and JR finalized the deal for a new TL11R3. This machine is a powerful addition to their farm operation, delivering high flow hydraulics, strong lifting performance, intuitive controls, and a comfortable cab.

Watch the delivery of the TL11R3

At the delivery site, JR and Paul Wade, Takeuchi Regional Business Manager, walked Allen through the machine and explained how the TL11R3 stands apart from the competition. “Because of its radial lift boom and near 8,000 lb breakout force, the TL11R3 gives you the strength of a larger machine in a mid sized footprint,” JR explained. The tracks and undercarriage also made a mark: wide rubber tracks, double flanged rollers and a fully welded steel one piece frame give the machine impressive traction, stability and durability in real jobsite conditions.

For Allen, the purchase was more than an upgrade. It respected the past while propelling his business forward. Just as his family has kept Otto’s Train running ride after ride, year after year, Allen chooses machines that keep his operation moving—and moving well. McCann Industries is proud to support long term partners like Otto Brothers, for whom legacy, reliability and a trusted supplier matter as much as performance on the job.
