This was my first experience with Luby Equipment. Jenny Swafford was my sales person. She promptly made a deal with me working out the transportation and all the details. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and gave me many detailed pictures of the piece of equipment. I do many deals in my line of work and I can tell you she is among the best. I would do business again and hope I can. My experience with Lubys has been the best. I could not be happier. Good job Jenny I wish there were more like you doing business would be a much funner experience. Mike.

Road construction involves heavy loads, abrasive materials, and rough terrain. Durable equipment minimizes downtime caused by repairs and ensures project timelines stay intact.
Takeuchi TL12V2 Compact Track Loader: The TL12V2 stands out for its robust undercarriage and high-capacity bucket. Its vertical lift design is perfect for loading trucks with aggregate or removing debris from the construction site. Takeuchi’s heavy-duty construction ensures the machine can withstand demanding environments, from rocky roadbeds to muddy terrains.
5. Precision for High-Quality Results
Precision is key in road construction, where smooth, even surfaces are vital for road longevity and safety. Advanced features in modern equipment ensure accurate results every time.
Case 570N EP Tractor Loader:This model is a powerful and precise tool for road construction, including fine grading and surface preparation. Equipped with advanced controls and a high-performance loader bucket, the 570N EP ensures smooth and even surfaces during the finishing phase. Its exceptional maneuverability and precise operation make it a valuable addition to any road construction project.
