352 Plows & Spreaders for WV DOH

January 10, 2012

L.H. Jones Equipment Company has supplied the West Virginia Division of Highways with 176 SnowDogg snowplows and 176 SaltDogg stainless steel salt spreaders for winter operations beginning in the 2011-12 season.  Most of the units were installed by LH Jones in the days between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

"We definitely had to ramp up production to the meet the installation goals.  We were able to do that by investing a significant amount in our service and installation facility,” said Len Hancock, LH Jones’ Chief Operations officer. “It was a great project and we had fun in process.”

The plows and spreaders are in service in the Division of Highways Fleet now and will be for many years to come.  They were installed on a mix of Ford F350 pick-up trucks and F550 work trucks that the State recently purchased.

L.H. Jones Equipment Company was founded in 1946 has maintained its corporate headquarters in Morgantown, West Virginia ever since.  L.H. Jones supplies outdoor power equipment, snow plows, salt spreaders, and truck equipment to Federal, state and municipal governments, as well as private companies and individuals.  L.H. Jones also designs custom hydraulic systems for various applications.

Showroom Tour Stop #6

Welcome to the new LH Jones Equipment Co.  Here, we'll take you on a virtual tour of the brand new showroom so you can see all of the new products we carry and services we offer.

This is Showroom Tour Stop #5 - GreenWorks

Mowing your yard can feel like following an old clunker down the highway - you inhale gas fumes the entire way. Not anymore. GreenWorks electric and cordless products allow you to care for your yard without raising up a cloud of gas emissions that's harmful to you and the environment.

No Emissions - Ever.

The GreenWorks products that you purchase have a ZERO carbon footprint. We'll say that again - our entire product line will never release an ounce of carbon emission into the air. Plus, this efficiency requires no sacrifice from you. We'll provide all the power you need without polluting the air or forcing you to keep hauling your gas can to the nearest station (especially in the middle of a mow). No more tune-ups or maintenance. No more emissions.

Stop The Spills.

Fifty-four million Americans mow their lawns every weekend, according to the EPA, using 800 million gallons of gas each year. Along the way, homeowners spill more than 17 million gallons of gas while refueling. That's equivalent to the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster. It's time to move beyond clumsy, harmful gas-powered mowers. It's time for GreenWorks to be your lawn tools for life.

GreenWorks offers:

• Self-propelled Mowers
• Reel Mowers
• Blowers
• Chainsaws
• Hedge Trimmers
• …much more

All with their exclusive 4 Year Warranty.
