West Side Tractor Sales Co., a family-owned and operated construction equipment dealer serving Illinois and Indiana, announced the official launch of its new Quarry and Aggregates Division.
This specialized unit is dedicated to supporting the rigorous demands of quarry operations, aggregate producers and high-production environments with expert solutions, production-class machines and unmatched service.
"As the ownership family of West Side Tractor, we have high hopes for the customer experience and enhanced solutions we can bring to this industry segment," said Tom Benck, executive vice president of West Side Tractor. "With decades of experience supporting production class John Deere equipment, we've evolved to offer even more products and solutions. This expanded capability allows us to support our customers more holistically and make it easier for them to get everything they need all in one place."
The new Quarry and Aggregates Division is powered by a team of seasoned professionals, including:
• Greg Hilliard, Quarry and Aggregate specialist, sales — more than 40 years of experience in the industry with a background in managing multiple quarry operations in Illinois. He's an expert in equipment selection, site productivity and production strategy.
• Scott Stander, Quarry and Aggregate specialist, aftermarket — a fleet maintenance and repair veteran with more than 30 years of experience managing hundreds of assets and parts. He brings real-world knowledge of what it takes to keep heavy equipment running at full throttle.
• Tate VanOvermeiren, John Deere production class equipment specialist — joined the West Side Tractor sales team in 2008. Over the years he has evolved to become this segment's specialist with advanced training, onsite support and best practices.
• A team of machine data analysts and reporting specialists who provide actionable insights to improve uptime, productivity and long-term performance.
West Side Tractor backs up its machines with support, including a John Deere Certified Rebuild Center and a crew of certified technicians skilled in heavy-duty equipment repairs that extend machine lifespan.
To help customers streamline their operations, West Side Tractor also is developing a custom parts inventory tracking system — designed to simplify the sourcing and management of thousands of components essential to keeping plants up and running. For customers looking to optimize their parts inventory strategy, the Quarry and Aggregates team can assist with plant audit services.
Whether it's a mobile operation or a stationary plant, West Side Tractor offers a robust lineup of OEM and aftermarket parts to keep production moving. This includes support for electrical components, screens and wear parts, conveyor systems and belting, generator sets, Loadrite scales, hydraulic hammers and a full line of pumps and dewatering solutions — all available for portable and stationary structures, conveyors, hoppers and feeders. From routine maintenance to emergency support, West Side Tractor's parts team helps customers find exactly what they need, when they need it.
In today's competitive market, flexibility matters. West Side Tractor partners with customers on equipment consignments and used equipment transactions, helping them get the most value from their fleets. Whether it's selling off a surplus unit or sourcing a hard-to-find production-class machine, West Side Tractor's experienced used equipment team offers market insights, appraisal support and access to a trusted network of buyers and sellers across the region.
To further support customers from pit to plant, West Side Tractor is now an official Eagle Crusher dealer. Eagle Crusher — a family-owned American manufacturer with more than 100 years of experience — is known for rugged crushing and screening equipment built in the Midwest.
"Our companies share a deep commitment to quality, service and supporting the industries that build America," said Benck. "We're proud to bring Eagle Crusher into our lineup and offer a truly comprehensive solution for quarry and aggregate producers."
As the distributor in Illinois and Wisconsin, West Side Tractor will represent the full line of Eagle Crusher heavy-duty crushing and screening equipment for the recycled concrete, asphalt, aggregate and sand and gravel industries.
Eagle Crusher Co. has been an industry leader for more than 100 years in the manufacture of high-quality crushing and screening equipment.
