Powder Coating the World

Back in 2017, Ledwell renovated one of their manufacturing shops and converted the workroom into a Powder Coating Shop. This shop has three areas for each step in the
powder coating process to create a heartier and cleaner finish. The three C’s of the powder coating process include cleaning, coating and curing. Powder coating begins with a three
stage wash system to clean, remove rust and rinse each part thoroughly. Once the pieces are completely cleaned and dry, the piece is moved to one of three dry spray booths to
receive color. There is a bay for white, black, and any other color. This arrangement allows for collection of the white and black power to recycle and reduce waste.

Each part is grounded negative while the powder is expelled from the gun positive, creating a reaction for the powder to stick to all sides of the part. The final step of powder coating is baking the part for 20 to 50 minutes in a large oven. This will melt and cure the powder coating to the pieces and form a hard, uniform finish. Once the parts and pieces come out of the oven and cool enough to handle, they are ready to go – which is a major benefit of this entire process.

One of the advantages powder coating possesses over liquid paint is an added elastic finish that is less prone to bruises, cuts or scratches. Additionally, you will receive a quick turnaround from start to finish on powder coated parts due to a faster curing cycle and less clean-up.

California is Calling

Ledwell at ARA The Rental Show

Business success is a top priority for any industry. Understanding how to manage and nurture a company is important to developing a strong, noteworthy brand. This is a universal concept, and the American Rental Association has taken the opportunity to provide this needed insight for members. From February 17th to the 20th of 2019, ARA will be hosting their annual Rental Show in Anaheim, CA.

The show will feature multiple education opportunities, such as a keynote session featuring Kevin O’Leary from the hit show Shark Tank, a Young Professionals Network Reception, a Women in Rental session, and much more. The intent is to create a stronger network between rental companies and those who support them, like manufacturers and those who use their services. The event is all about learning how to make your company the best it can be and speaking with other members of your community to understand the industry standard.

The rental industry is a very important part of the American workforce. They are the backbone of some companies, because they provide them with the means to get the job done. Otherwise some companies might not be able to function as the should, and would not be as efficient. Furthermore, people might find themselves at a loss if it were not for these types of companies.

Ledwell believes that all industries provide an essential service for the world around them. We will be attending this show in support of the rental community. We will be located at booth number 5735, eager to hear about your experiences and provide our services in any way possible. We want to learn about you.

Stop by and share your wisdom with us, and show us the way you work on social media with #lovemyledwell!

Preventative Maintenance in the Field

Ledwell Lube Buddy tanks

When you’re on the go, working a time-sensitive job, or just looking for convenience, you need access to equipment Preventive Maintenance fast. Ledwell has your quick solution for your field equipment PM service and maintenance. Our Lube Buddies provide an easy and efficient way for you to keep your equipment serviced and ready to go. This equipment can be used as a mobile unit or as a stationary, portable maintenance center on your job site!

Our Lube Buddy, Jr. is suited for your light-duty vehicles. Its smaller stature gives it a lighter weight, making it easy to move from location to location and convenient to place. This piece of equipment comes with spill and overflow pans to minimize mess and non-corrosive pipe fittings to ensure longevity.

Lube Skid for sale by Ledwell

We’ve got you covered if you’re looking for something a little more heavy-duty. This equipment can turn any medium-duty hauling vehicle into a skid-mounted, self-contained fuel and lube service center! Much like the Lube Buddy, Jr., the Lube Buddy Max is designed in such a way as to prevent excessive spillover and ensure a long lifespan.

And we’ve decided to offer more value for your buck at the upcoming 2019 American Rental Association (ARA) show. For all attendants, Ledwell is prepared to offer a free compressor upgrade for any Lube Buddy, Jr. purchased at the show! This free upgrade will make your unit completely self-contained, eliminating chords and other protruding elements with a gas-powered compressor. With this set-up, the Lube Buddy, Jr. is your most compact and efficient piece of service equipment!

Either of these units must be moved using a forklift so as to both prevent injury and increase efficiency in the workplace. They must also always be placed on a level surface to avoid any spills and to ensure proper operation. Be sure to always read the accompanying operator manuals in regard to all pieces of equipment you own. Doing so can prevent damage to the unit and highly reduces the risk of injury during use.

Stay prepared with our Lube Buddies and other service equipment.

In the Community: Watersprings Ranch

Watersprings Ranch is a non-profit organization in Texarkana, Arkansas, that helps needy children. Founded in 1989 by David and Carla Whatley, the goal of the Ranch is to bring children together and help them support each other, to understand they are loved, not only by those around them but by God.

Watersprings Ranch houses almost 50 children at a time on their land. They operate as a Christian-based residential group home that extends their helping hands to children of all backgrounds. Their largest legacy resides in building safe, educational, and happy homes for children who have not had that in their past. Watersprings Ranch provides extracurricular activities, education, therapy services, and special needs services for all children in the program who need them. The goal is to provide them with a normal childhood. More than anything, the kids need to be kids, and that’s the message of the Watersprings Ranch philosophy. They are privately funded, using donations from those in the community to build a foundation for the kids. Ledwell employees, along with many other community leaders, have donated time, resources, and more to the children of this facility.
