Online Shopping for the Construction Enthusiast. Movies are for girls.

The Diamond in the Dirt

I love the internet myself, especially when I’m shopping for a bargain. It’s a very easy you can shop from the comfort or your own home or business with just a few clicks of the mouse.  I can search dozen of suppliers and compare pricing in just a short period of time. Unfortunately the internet can’t tell me important Details about the company I’m dealing with like – What are the employees like, how reputable is the company, what is their level of quality or service, Most importantly how will they follow up and perform for me after the sale?

When you are making an investment in construction equipment, you must give weight to all of these variables. The reason you are buying the equipment in the first place is to help you physically and economically, get a certain job done.  A great price doesn’t mean a thing if you have purchased the wrong equipment for a job. The great price is long forgotten if you have trouble getting parts and service. You really want to deal with a company that can provide the best combination of Price, Performance, and Service.

Let’s face it, you are not buying a backhoe or a dozer so that you can relax and enjoy using it on the weekend, you’re making the investment so that you can be competitive and make a profit in the marketplace. That’s where a guy like me is worth his Weight in Gold. The people at ASAP are in the business to build long lasting relationships, with our friends, customers… Our knowledge and expertise will assist you in making the right decision and make your investment profitable; we will be there to assist you the entire time you own the equipment. We enjoy what we do, and we enjoy being a part of making YOUR Company more profitable. We ARE Florida and the Southeast’s #1 Independent Equipment Dealership!

ASV – Dominant Skid Steer

ASV Skid Steer or THE Skid Steer

I know ASV is the best Tracked Skid Steer available on the Market. How can I come to this conclusion, Personal Experience…

The Other Day Somebody Asked me on the phone:

 “Can you please give me some info on the ASV RC-100 Skid Steer? Also,
how does it match up with the competitors?”

 

Well, You Asked for it. ASV’s Patented “Track System” or Undercarriage was designed with the help of snow mobile and track developing experts Polaris Inc. To go even further, the ASV Undercarriage that was developed was so innovative and smooth that Caterpillar made a Deal with ASV so that they could get that undercarriage in their Skid Steer Machines, What a Hoot!

 

The RC-100 is ASV’s largest and most powerful Tracked Skid Steer boasting a 99.9hp Perkins TurboCharged Diesel Engine with its powerful Hydraulic Arm’s easily lifting 3,800lbs of raw material 125 inches into the Sky. It comes in two Flavors – Regular and Forestry Edition. Both come with top notch equipment standard and a whole variety of other Optional do-dads including but not limited to: Enclosed Cab, A/C, Windows, Pedal Throttle, and Radio – Country Anybody? And many more. The Forestry Edition was created to be more like a Tank than the Regular Model. The RC-100 Forestry is a Machine that is built to do construction in heavily wooded and dangerous environments where branches and trees could easily impale and incapacitate the armor and/or driver the Regular RC-100. This baby Comes STANDARD with Comprehensive Arsenal of Armor Including Limb risers, Hinged Skid Plates, Steel Light Guards, Steel Hood Guarding, Window Guards including thick Glass, and a Climate Control System with a Guarded Condenser to keep the African Army Ants Out and the Cool Air In. All in All, if you’re doing work in a Rain Forest where Red Wood Tree’s will be falling out of the sky around, near, and on your Machine this is your best bet – otherwise I would stick with the Regular Edition which will save you about 15 to 20 grand and operates exactly the way the Forestry Edition does without the armor.

 

Recently to celebrate ASV’s 25 Anniversary of business, developing and producing Skid Steer’s, they’ve decided to fade out the RC Series of Skid Steers in favor of the New and Improved PT Series. You might be saying “Oh no, the RC Series was so great, what is ASV going to do without their ASV RC Series Skid Steers, They’ll never make it in TODAYS ECONOMY” Don’t get your panties in a bunch just yet. All the same models exist in the newer PT Series (PT-100, PT-80, PT-60, etc, etc) , but they’ve been upgraded, updated and up-… well that’s all I’ve got. Most of the changes are subtle, but others not so much. The most visible update to the new PT Series is their new paint and decal package that displays ASV’s bold new logo and paint scheme. This new Paint Scheme is suppose to reflect the company’s unmatched dedication to rubber track technology, I Say it just looks neat. Beyond the cosmetics lies what truly matters in the Construction Equipment World, Equipment!

 

All ASV PT Series Compact Track Loaders, except the PT-30, now include a new rugged steel engine hood and new idler wheel bearings with more durable metal face seals. Other enhancements to various models of ASV’s new product line include new dash panels with new gauges and more indicator lights and optional tachometer and temperature gauges. All machines now include a poly-roof panel and a larger roof window offering more upward visibility for easier loading. New optional doors on all models include improved handles and tighter seals. And the PT-70 and PT-80 models feature larger standard interiors and improved torque when in the HIGH speed range.

 

ASV Has been tested against 7 of its factory competitors including CAT, Bobcat, John Deere, and others in an all out ratings war. ASV Scored best in all categories including Ground Clearance, Ground Pressure, Power, Performance and many more benchmark tests.

 

Would you own any other skid steer?

 

New and Used ASV RC and PT Units available at our shop now!

BIG AND SMALL

 

 

Not all companies that sell equipment are set up to handle a broad spectrum of machines. Some companies specialize in small or compact equipment, and some are experts on heavy iron. Some have built their organization around the immediacy of a rental fleet and others have tailored there facilities, workforce and delivery fleet to the large items.

The people at ASAP RENTAL and Sales have the best of both worlds. Our large rental fleet is available at a moment’s notice and our New equipment sales people act with the same sense of urgency. The fact that we maintain our own rental fleet helps us understand the preventive maintenance needed to keep your machine in top shape.

Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any equipment related questions you may have, or if you need a quote on a new or used machine.

MINI-EXCAVATORS

 

 

 

Mini Excavators may be small in size, but they are big on performance. Most machines in the Mini line start at as small as 15 horsepower and 3,600 pounds and move up to approximately a 17,000 pound machine with over 15’ of digging depth.  Most of the machines are equipped with rubber tracks that prevent damage when using on sidewalks and driveway, but also can be ordered with the steel track version. Advantages of this class machine include affordability, ease of use, and most come equipped with a small dozer blade for back filling trenches.

 

Another advantage of the mini excavator is that they can be transported with a standard pick up truck and trailer, eliminating the need for the user to purchase a heavy duty truck for transport. Another desirable feature is that many machines in this class are available with “zero turn radius”, so that when the operator is working in a confined space, he will have less chance to damaging buildings as he rotates the cab. These machines are typically a very low maintenance item in your fleet and will often provide many years of reliable service for you and your company.

 

We have a large fleet of new and used Mini excavator to choose from. Please feel free to call me with any questions, and I will be happy to send you detailed specs and pictures of any machine in our fleet. You can also visit my web site at www.asaprent.com or call me at 941-376-2785.

 

No one line or brand of equipment can claim that every machine they make is the best possible machine in the class. However, most manufacturers have key products that really do out work and outperform the competitive machines. The secret is to know which machines are the true performers and which ones you are simply paying too much for.

Here is where a good dealer comes into play. A good dealer will not only guide you to the right products, he will provide the proper level of support, expertise, and parts that make your machine a joy to own. Our dealership handles multiple lines of equipment and we have made a huge investment in our own rental fleet. So we have put our money where our mouth is, so to speak.

When you need to buy a productive piece of equipment, new or used, go to a top notch dealer. ASAP EQUIPMENT RENTAL and SALES is just such a dealer. Give us a call and find out.

SKID LOADERS

Probably one of the most vertitle pieces of equipment you can own. These little power houses can do a multitude of jobs including moving dirt, trenching, applying silt fence, tilling, use of a breaker hammer, tree shear, and may other applications.

Skid steer machines come in two basic variates: Wheeled and Tracked, each have their advanatges and disadvantages. Wheeled machines have higher ground speeds and less maintence. Tracked machines feature lower ground pressure and better traction on sandy or wet surfaces.

I can offer you many choices in New or Used Skids. Feel free to comment here or call me
