TEVIS Skid Steer Loader Saving 100,000 Annually in Labor Costs
It’s widely said that skid steer loaders can significantly reduce labor expenses, but just how impressive is the actual effect? Seeing is believing. Recently, we interviewed Mr. Mark Anderson, a seasoned professional in the U.S. road maintenance industry. He shared his first-hand experience: Before introducing TEVIS skid steer loaders in 2025, his company required at least a dozen workers to collaborate with a single milling machine; after adopting TEVIS skid steer loaders, the efficiency of milling pavement far exceeded that of 30 workers working together. In his view, one TEVIS skid steer loader is equivalent to the workload of 25 workers, saving his company at least $100,000 in labor costs annually.
Mark is a veteran buyer in the engineering equipment sector, having procured various construction machinery for his company over the years. Prior to using skid steer loaders, his company relied primarily on manual labor for core road maintenance tasks such as road cleaning, snow removal, and curb stone loading and unloading. In recent years, rising labor costs in the U.S. have steadily increased the company’s operational pressure, making it imperative to find an efficient alternative. During an industry exchange, TEVIS skid steer loaders caught his attention. After on-site inspections of equipment performance and operation demonstrations, he immediately decided to introduce this powerful tool.
Initially, Mark tried renting equipment. However, due to the limited supply of high-quality skid steer loaders in the local market, rental prices remained high, and the cost was not significantly lower than that of manual labor. In 2025, he resolutely abandoned renting and opted to purchase TEVIS skid steer loaders outright. Before that, he had used a similar product from a foreign brand, which performed adequately but was extremely inconvenient for maintenance and repairs, forcing him to dispose of it later. The arrival of TEVIS skid steer loaders completely changed the situation—Mark was highly satisfied with their stable and powerful operational performance, exceeding expectations in work efficiency, as well as the timely and professional after-sales service.
His preference for TEVIS stems not only from the equipment’s outstanding quality and high efficiency but also from its convenience and versatility. TEVIS boasts robust production and service capacity, with 500 employees and a large manufacturing facility, enabling it to efficiently meet the diverse needs of global customers. This gave Mark full confidence in equipment supply and subsequent services. As the first forklift manufacturer in Shandong Province, TEVIS leverages extensive industry experience and technical expertise to ensure the superior quality of its products at the source. Additionally, supported by a national-level Class II physical and chemical testing center, every stage of TEVIS products—from R&D to production—meets the highest industry standards.
TEVIS’s production park covers an area of over 53,333 square meters, equivalent to more than 8 standard football fields. Within this spacious area, advanced skid steer loader production lines are installed. From spare parts production to complete machine assembly and delivery, TEVIS implements scientific management and control across the entire chain, accurately supervising every production process and strictly controlling every detail. Relying on the efficient operation of professional intelligent manufacturing, TEVIS not only guarantees equipment quality and delivery efficiency but also demonstrates strong intelligent manufacturing capabilities—another key reason for Mark’s trust and choice of TEVIS.
“In the past, completing road maintenance work required the coordination of multiple types of equipment; now, a single TEVIS skid steer loader with several attachments can handle everything,” Mark said. Based on the characteristics of road maintenance work in the U.S., he carefully selected a variety of attachments such as hydraulic hammers, milling machines, forks, enclosed sweepers, and angle sweepers to work with the skid steer loaders. These attachments can be quickly replaced, allowing one machine to easily tackle multiple types of tasks, effectively reducing labor pressure and greatly improving overall work efficiency. The surplus labor was reassigned to more valuable positions, driving the company onto a path of sound development.
Beyond skid steer loaders, TEVIS offers a comprehensive lineup of construction machinery, including all-terrain wheel loaders, telescopic handlers, backhoe loaders, custom attachments, remanufactured equipment, and spare parts. These solutions are widely used in construction, mining, port logistics, municipal projects, and other fields, fully meeting the diverse needs of global customers. Adhering to the concept of prioritizing innovation and customer satisfaction, TEVIS strives to provide efficient, reliable, and eco-friendly construction solutions, making “Choosing TEVIS means choosing efficiency, reliability, and success” a consensus among numerous customers.
In Mark’s opinion, mechanical replacement of manual labor is an irreversible trend in heavy workloads like road maintenance. Those who can fully grasp the performance of high-quality equipment and utilize it effectively will gain an edge in the fierce market competition. When talking about future plans, he clearly stated: “As the volume of projects continues to increase, the company will purchase more skid steer loaders, and TEVIS will definitely be our first choice!” Just as TEVIS’s brand philosophy goes—“Making Construction Simpler”—this efficient and reliable equipment is becoming a valuable partner for engineering professionals worldwide to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness.
