EP : We\u2019ve been in business legally since about 1980 and the other business started about 1976 and I\u2019ve been cutting up cars and junk since 1959, when I was 8 years old. Been doing it a while had a chop axe and a hammer to cut them up with and a box of matches so we could burn them. We had to burn them back then and cut them in four pieces. This business has pretty good things after coming from that.<\/p>\n

LA : What drove your decision to buy your LEFORT\u00ae ?<\/strong><\/p>\n EP : The old machinery I had wouldn\u2019t work and was constantly breaking down. We looked at LEFORT\u00ae, watched them work and were immediately interested. They worked good, and everybody I talked to was very satisfied, so we tried one. We\u2019ve had it for just over two years, <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LA : How has owning LEFORT\u00ae impacted your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n EP : We had a fairly new machine that wouldn\u2019t run two days a week barely and then it was down for about a year or better and didn\u2019t run at all. I absolutely had to do something to modernize my tool. That\u2019s when I met LEFORT\u00ae. If I hadn\u2019t bought this machine, we\u2019d probably be out of business. We needed a reliable machine. Today, with the LEFORT\u00ae, we process 500-600 tons a month of cut grade average usually, 100 tons of 1 \u00bd bundles and 1,000 tons of shred on the low end.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LA : What do you think of the quality, design and construction of your LEFORT\u00ae ?<\/strong><\/p>\n EP : LEFORT\u00ae\u2019s engineers are the best I\u2019ve ever met. Our machine is stable and robust. There is very little downtime. The machine doesn\u2019t wiggle, move, bulge, it just sits and works. It doesn\u2019t twist, bind or anything. It\u2019s a good machine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LA : As your business grows, would you buy another LEFORT\u00ae in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n EP : I\u2019ll be buying another one in the near future. They\u2019re great machines. The price point and support. Everyone I\u2019ve dealt with is knowledgeable, friendly, receptive to our needs and open to suggestions about changes for our specific needs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Peacock\u2019s Recycling of Macon, GA USA, have been using their first LEFORT\u00ae TRAX 650 (660 US tons) since 2022.
