Types of Earthmoving Equipment for Your Next Project

Versatile Earthmoving Equipment for All Your Construction Needs

When it comes to choosing the right equipment for your jobsite, we’ve got you covered. DW1 offers a wide range of versatile equipment for all your earthmoving needs, whether you’re moving large quantities of dirt and rock or installing trenches to lay pipe, cables, drainage, and more.

Backhoe Loaders

A backhoe loader, also known as a rear actor, is a versatile piece of heavy equipment ideal for construction jobsites of all sizes. Combining the functions of digging and moving, it streamlines tasks across various projects with ease and efficiency. Its design offers both maneuverability and strength, making it suitable for small to large-scale operations. Featuring a loader bucket for pushing, lifting, and carrying materials on one side, and a backhoe for effortless digging on the other, it enables users to work smarter, not harder. The ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, such as digging and lifting, enhances productivity for various jobsites.

Common applications for a backhoe loader:

Residential and industrial construction
Excavating
Material hauling
Demolition
Landscaping

Mini Excavators

Mini excavators, also referred to as compact excavators, range in size from 2,000lb to 18,500lb and are primarily used for digging and trenching. Depending on the size of the unit, their digging depth can vary from 6’ to 24’. Most mini excavators offer a choice between open or closed cab configurations and are typically gas-powered. The key advantage of utilizing a mini excavator lies in its capability to navigate through tight spaces inaccessible to larger units, effectively excavating holes on the jobsite. Equipped with rubber tracks, these machines minimize ground damage, ensuring optimal site preservation.

Common applications for a mini excavator:

Digging out hills and trenches
Removing tree stumps from ground
Demolition
Material handling

Common attachments:

Auger - Used to dig holes for posts
Buckets
- Smooth Bucket - Used to scoop rock, dirt, sand, etc.
- Tooth Bucket - Used to dig out hills and trenches
Hydraulic Plate Hammer/Tamper - Compacts soil in trenches and excavations
Hydraulic Thumb - Acts as a clamp for the bucket
Hydraulic Hammer - Effective for breaking up rock, concrete and other material
Rock/Skeleton Bucket - Used to sort through unwanted material grabbed off the ground

Skid Steer Loaders

A skid-steer, also known as a compact track loader, is a compact multipurpose piece of heavy equipment that is mainly used for digging and hauling materials. While typically equipped with a bucket, a skid steer is very versatile with many additional attachments. Skid-steers are sized and weighed based on their frame dimensions, ranging from 6K to 10K pounds. Selecting the appropriate skid-steer depends on the specifics of your project scope, ensuring optimal efficiency and performance.

Common applications for a skid-steer:

Demolition and debris removal
Snow and debris removal
Excavating, dozing, and trenching
Grading and backfilling
Landscaping
Material handling

Two main types of skid-steers: Track and Wheeled

A track skid-steer is better used on rough terrain when you have a ground up build and you need to navigate through mounds of debris or dirt. Track skid-steers tend to move significantly slower than a unit with wheels. Wheeled skid-steers are best when working on flat, even ground. Opting for a wheeled skid-steer can safeguard against potential pavement damage, as track units may leave marks.

Easy to load and easy to haul away, these roll-off dumpsters are the ideal solution for large amounts of construction debris or recyclables. DW1 offers various dumpster rental sizes, including:

10-20 Yard Dumpsters: For hauling heavy materials such as concrete, dirt or asphalt as well as great for kitchen or bathroom remodels and general construction debris at smaller construction projects. Be careful though! Over filling could result in DOT fines!

40 Yard Dumpsters: Most commonly used for demolition, debris cleanup and general construction jobsite waste.

What to Consider When Choosing a Roll-Off Dumpster

Your dedicated DW1 Account Manager will help you make the right decision when selecting an open top container for your waste management needs.

Live Loads: One-Day Dumpster Service and Haul-Away

When you don’t have room for a dumpster on your jobsite, we will deliver one and wait while it’s loaded, before hauling it away. This could be because the site is too small for a standing dumpster or because multiple contractors are working on a single site.

Our driver will arrive at your site with a dumpster big enough to handle your load, place it in a location convenient for you and stay on site until it is ready to be hauled off. So, you can get rid of all of the trash, construction debris or any other waste in a single day.

How to Choose the Right Heating Solution for Your Jobsite

Construction sites operate all year round, which often means having to confront freezing conditions and harsh weather. Extreme winter conditions can slow and delay projects while putting the health of workers at risk.

Direct-fired Heaters: Direct-Fired Heaters are economical, practical and efficient for most applications on indoor and outdoor construction sites.

Indirect-fired Heaters: Indirect-Fired heaters are complex, requiring more equipment than direct fired units, but they’re able to save fuel by recirculating air.

Electric Heaters: Electric heaters are portable, simple to operate, and safe for use in small spaces with little ventilation.

Steam Heaters: Steam heaters are portable and convenient to use, often used in constructing an addition to a building with a steam system already in place which powers the unit.

Radiant Heaters: Radiant heaters are a convenient option for indoor/outdoor spot heating and temperature control

Hydronic Heaters: Hydronic heaters are completely self-contained powered by an internal generator and are highly effective at thawing frozen ground and curing concrete.

Finding the right heater for your specific set of needs can be a real challenge! Your dedicated Account Manager will help you spec the right portable heating solution and have it delivered directly to commercial construction sites nationwide.

Understand your Heating Needs

If you have a large open space that needs heat, an indirect fired heater is easy to move, set up, and adjust.
Direct-Fired Heaters are the right choice for a practical and efficient heater for most applications on indoor and outdoor construction sites.
Radiant Heaters are the most efficient for spot heating and keeping the job site temperature controlled.

Keep Your Tanks Full and Your Project Moving Forward

Redefining Excellence in Waste Management and Jobsite Services

Pictured (L-R) are CEO Ed Foye, Senior Vice President Shane Foye, President Richard Gravely, Senior Vice President Adam Bass, CFO Dan Triscritti, and Senior Vice President Thomas Lagos.

"DW1 formerly known as Discount Waste, Inc., has now settled in its office in Technology Park. As Peachtree Corners sees a surge of development, DW1’s move and rebranding stand out. Situated at 250 Scientific Drive NW, the 45,000-square-foot building has 150 private offices and seven conference rooms. It also has an advanced training room and a “Town Center” designed for company lunches. This move brings together their previous locations at Engineering Drive and Triangle Parkway. It consolidates over 100 employees who have been dispersed since 2019. The inauguration event took place on September 28, 2023, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Vice Mayor Weare Gratwick, City Councilwoman Lorri Christopher, Southwest Gwinnett Chamber (SWGC) Chairman Bill Diehl and Executive Director Beth Coffey attended the event." - Peachtree Corners Magazine

The 'Why' Behind DW1's Transformative Rebrand

Founded in 1999, Discount Waste Solutions, Inc. was a sole provider of permanent Waste Management and Recycling services, aligning perfectly with its name. However, as the company evolved, so did its range of offerings. In 2002, Discount Waste expanded to provide temporary construction dumpster rentals to general contractors across the nation. Over the years, Discount Waste quickly expanded their offerings to include portable toilets, hand wash stations, restroom trailers, temporary fencing, storage containers, ground-level offices, office and storage combo containers, and mobile offices. By 2013, Discount Waste had diversified further, introducing a comprehensive lineup of jobsite rental equipment, ranging from forklifts, scissor lifts, boom lifts, and man lifts to skid steers, excavators, generators, and heating and cooling solutions.

With the anticipation of moving into a new headquarters in 2023, the Discount Waste team began discussions about a company rebrand. Initially centered around updating color schemes and refining company tenets, these conversations evolved into the possibility of a complete name change. The result: DW1. This new identity emphasizes the company's commitment to providing ONE point of contact, a ONE-stop-shop for a variety of construction rentals, all conveniently billed on ONE invoice. The rebrand reflects DW1's reputation as a leading national provider of waste removal and jobsite services and their continuous growth, adaptability, and dedication to offering streamlined solutions to its valued customers.
