I’m responsible for maintaining KEC’s fleet of 115 vehicles. Our fleet includes pickup trucks, SUVs, line trucks, boom trucks, backhoes, mini excavators, UTVs, trailers, a snow machine, a plow cat, wire-pulling equipment, and 2 small boats. KEC has both gas and diesel-powered equipment, and we do as much of the maintenance work as possible in-house.
This includes generator maintenance, oil changes, engine swaps, transmission work, fabrication, and repairs on chainsaws and battery-operated equipment. All this work requires the right tools, equipment, and parts. Some of the vehicle maintenance on our large line trucks or boom trucks is done by a contractor due to space constraints and the need for specialty tools.
