Earthmoving


McAninch has developed a unique approach to large-scale grading projects. Haul routes and cycle times define the plan, but timely execution is a function of machine power. One of the industry’s largest fleet of pull-scrapers, combined with excavators and articulated trucks, allow us to achieve more production per hour on mass grading projects. McAninch is the leader in applied equipment technology.

Perfecting Sites of all Sizes for Construction

With numerous pieces of heavy machinery in constant motion, a fast-moving job is an exercise in controlled congestion. Experienced superintendents monitor and direct the assets as cuts and fills proceed, using GPS coordinates to quantify and report each day’s progress.

At McAninch, speed, accuracy and safety are the most important factors in successfully completing a job. The soil must be aerated, restructured and compacted to the right point on the density curve, making projects very scientific and complicated. McAninch is always prepared to handle the scope of work. Our Foreman and Operators are highly skilled and trained professionals. Some have been members of our field crews for more than 25 years.

Owners and construction firms rely on the expert knowledge and advanced technology that McAninch brings to every project. They know that when the deadlines arrive, McAninch will have the site perfected and ready for construction.

Our Projects

Throughout the years, we've done a lot of housing developments, commercial work, and we worked on the penitentiary in Fort Madison. I've had a lot of different experiences. They don't settle for the norm here. If you need any equipment adjustments, they'll take care of it. If they send a piece of equipment out to a job site and need to adjust something, they'll do it. We get the job done safe, fast, and efficient without cutting corners. We're number one and we take a lot of pride in our work and at the end of the day it feels like a family.

When I started at McAninch in 1973 I was a mechanic assistant and then transitioned to being a driver. The people and the wages are what really sets McAninch apart from the rest. I think McAninch probably has the highest wages in the area and allow you to determine your career path without keeping you in one specific position. They let you go to schools to help expand your skillset and get better while continuing to grow in your career. McAninch has been all that I have known, but I do know that the people that have left have come back and always said "I wish I would have stayed here".

My buddy got me hired on at McAninch and after a year I started as a pipe layer and I've been doing that ever since. The guys around here are fun and they know what they're doing. They will keep you busy with a number of jobs and they pay you very well. They've been around the longest and have the most expertise in the field. One of the main reasons I like working here is because I make more money than all of my friends that graduated from college, so it's a good alternative if you don't go that route.

I applied here interested in getting in to the lowboy side, but they gave me other opportunities and kept me busy in a side-dump. They've helped me progress to that position and helped me get my hazmat endorsement so I could get to that spot. The people are great - I really like the flexibility, they're not going to hassle you if you need to go to a doctor's appointment. They pay pretty well here, and they're willing to help you out in more ways than just monetarily too. If you need help outside of work, they're there for you and are always willing to listen.

It's been my family since 1993 and I've always told Doug that I started here and I'll finish here. He takes care of us and cares about his workers, so we try and do the same thing for him. The level of trust and the opportunity to do so many different things are what I like the best. We have always been the best at what we do. We are better than our competition, we're faster than our competition and that's what sets us apart. If there was a young person coming up and looking for a place to go and stay. Make a place their career, this is they place they would want to go.

McAninch Corp. employee since 1993

I came in as a lube technician, changing oil in the equipment and did that for two years. Then a position came open in the welding shop, and I've been doing it ever since. We're all a close family, we all get along, everyone helps each other out. I would say they're a good company just because of the environment we work in. The maintenance facility is nice and it makes it easier, safer for us and that trickles out in to the field. Everything is well-maintained, the tools we get to use - everything is just top-notch and makes our lives a lot easier and safer.
