Are You Dealing with Supply-Chain Delays in Your Gear Lineup?

[Archie Trucks]

Hey crew,

Curious if anyone else is running into major supply-chain slowdowns when it comes to getting new heavy equipment or parts. We’ve been waiting on a couple of machines and even basic components like filters and tires are taking longer than usual. Is this still hitting most of you hard, or are things starting to ease up in your area? Any tips on how you're managing downtime or sourcing alternatives? Would love to hear how different crews are adapting.

Yeah, still feeling the delays here too, especially with parts like filters and hoses. Anyone had luck with alternate suppliers or rebuilding old gear to buy time?

yep, still a mess..lead times on new loaders here are pushing 6-8 months,,, even simple parts like seals and filters can take weeks. Been leaning hard on local rebuild shops and grabbing aftermarket parts just to keep things rolling.

Same here-that lead times are brutal...anyone else finding creative ways to keep things moving?

definitely still feeling the squeeze. We've been salvaging what we can, using local machine shops, and doubling down on preventive maintenance to stretch what we've got.
