Crushing It: BMC Aggregates on Stellar Mechanic Truck Versatility

03.12.25

Since 1982, BMC Aggregates L.C. of Garner, Iowa, has provided stone, sand and gravel products for customers throughout the northern area of the state. When their equipment is operating at peak efficiency, crushing limestone is a daily grind they’re happy to take on. That’s why BMC Aggregates counts on Stellar^® TMAX™ Mechanic Trucks to keep their equipment up and running.

“We crush limestone for county roads and wind farm projects,” says Josh Shulze of BMC Aggregates. “We wash concrete stone. We also do custom crushing, material bagging and delivery, and we haul heavy equipment.”

In this video, Shulze notes how Stellar outfitted their mechanic trucks to meet the specific needs of the company.

Mechanic Trucks Up for Every Challenge

The work done by BMC Aggregates, as well as dust and debris from the job, wears on equipment. Different repair and maintenance needs arise throughout the day, and the optimized configuration of their TMAX Mechanic Trucks helps them meet each challenge as it comes.

“We’ve been using Stellar’s products since 2000,” explains Shulze. “We were pretty impressed with what the trucks could do, the different compartments, the way they could be set up with different toolboxes and different oxygen and acetylene, different things that we could use out here at the quarry.”

To ensure BMC Aggregates would have what they need regardless of the breakdown or maintenance issue, Stellar optimized their trucks with service cranes, air compressors and more. “The trucks are like mobile toolboxes for us,” adds Shulze. “We like that the toolboxes in the Stellar trucks can be made up the way we want them. There are options for bolt bins in there, compartments for the torches. We need to carry a lot of chains and hardware, and there’s room there for everything.”

The Smarter Way to Work

Shulze appreciates how having Stellar Mechanic Trucks on the worksite is better for business. “Way back, before we got the Stellar trucks, we were doing things unsafely, and it took longer using hand tools. Now we’ve got cranes to help lift different things into place for screens and different things on our crushers. We’re able to use air tools to do our daily work on maintaining equipment. We’ve used Stellar products at the different quarry locations that we have, and I would recommend Stellar products. They’ve been really helpful for us.”
