TMG Industrial Launches Cost-Effective Construction Equipment Line Tailored for Contractors Prioritizing Power and Affordability

TMG Industrial introduces a new construction equipment line-hydraulic breakers, plate compactors, and concrete mixers-priced up to 50% below premium brands. Designed for contractors prioritizing affordability and durability, the machines feature work-ready materials, North American field testing, and core functionality. Tacoma, Washington--(Newsfile Corp. - May 25, 2025) - A North American supplier of professional-grade construction and industrial equipment has unveiled a new line of heavy-duty machinery designed to address the growing demand for reliable, budget-friendly solutions in the contracting sector. The launch features hydraulic breakers, plate compactors, and concrete mixers engineered to deliver industry-standard performance at prices up to 50% lower than traditional premium brands. Targeted at small to mid-sized contractors, rural construction businesses, and cost-conscious operators, the line emphasizes core functionality, durability, and value-without the premium costs associated with luxury-tier equipment. TMG Industrial Launches Cost-Effective Construction Equipment Line Tailored for Contractors Prioritizing Power and Affordability To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The new products are built to withstand daily use in demanding environments, with materials and designs validated through rigorous North American field testing. Key offerings include a 4-7 Ton Hydraulic Breaker compatible with compact and mid-sized excavators, a Plate Compactor offering 4000 lbs of compaction force for foundational work, and a rugged PTO-powered Concrete Mixer capable of handling gravel, sand, and concrete. Each machine prioritizes ease of operation, simplified maintenance, and compatibility with common job site requirements. "Our goal isn't to compete with high-end U.S. machines on luxury—it's to offer dependable workhorses that everyday pros can afford," said Terry Huang, Product Manager at TMG Industrial. "These machines are for people who want to get the job done and keep projects profitable." The 4-7 Ton Hydraulic Breaker provides clean, consistent braking power for demolition, trenching, and rock excavation, offering contractors a cost-efficient alternative to pricier models. Designed for compatibility with most compact excavators, it reduces downtime with straightforward maintenance and readily available replacement parts. Meanwhile, the Plate Compactor combines portability with high-impact force, making it ideal for driveways, sidewalks, and patch jobs. Its compact design ensures maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 4000-lb compaction force delivers results comparable to heavier, more expensive units. The Concrete Mixer rounds out the lineup focusing on versatility and durability. Built to handle rugged mixing tasks for foundations, fencing, and pads, its PTO-powered drum ensures consistent blending of materials without reliance on external power sources. This feature is particularly valuable for remote or off-grid job sites, where operational flexibility is critical. This launch arrives amid rising equipment and material costs across North America, which have squeezed profit margins for contractors. TMG Industrial's strategy focuses on reducing overhead without compromising performance-a balance achieved through streamlined designs, direct-to-consumer pricing, and eliminating non-essential features. Unlike many import brands, TMG Industrial supports its products with localized customer service, one-year warranties, and free shipping to Canada and the lower 48 U.S. states. The company's emphasis on accessibility extends to its dealer network, which is expanding to meet demand. By offering competitive pricing and reliable equipment, TMG Industrial aims to position itself as a go-to partner for contractors seeking to maximize efficiency and minimize equipment costs. TMG Industrial's commitment to affordability and durability reflects a broader shift in the construction industry, where practicality increasingly outweighs prestige. By focusing on essential performance metrics and eliminating costly add-ons, the company provides a viable pathway for contractors to maintain profitability in a challenging economic climate.

Thieves make tracks with stolen trailer loaded with ski trail grooming equipment

Social Sharing Thieves used a grinder to cut off locks before hauling away a trailer loaded with specialized equipment from a Winnipeg community club. "It makes me look at everything and go, wow, what else are they going to steal? The trust is now gone. We just have to look at everything and lock up everything," said Brent Prusak, who manages the cross-country ski trails for Wildwood Park Community Centre. The equipment, used to groom the trails, was set to be moved into an off-season secure facility but was temporarily stored beside the centre. Prusak intended to move it Friday but ran out of time between other demands with work and home life. He returned Tuesday morning, the first day after the long weekend, to do it instead. "And unfortunately, it was gone. Locks were cut off and the machine and the trailer were gone," he said. He estimated the stolen items were worth $75,000. The equipment included a Polaris side-by-side with a plow and a Yellowstone Track Systems groomer, all strapped down on a 22-foot-long double-wide trailer. "It's very specific for ski trail grooming," said Prusak. A lot of work went into modifying and outfitting the machine for grooming, he said. "We're hoping that it gets returned or found and we can at least get parts of it back, anyway." Based on conversations with people in the neighbourhood and when the equipment was last seen there, Prusak believes the theft happened Sunday night. He and others are checking to see if anyone has security cameras that might have caught the vehicle that towed away the trailer. "Hopefully we can at least see it driving by, [but] the police said it's probably a stolen vehicle, anyway, and if it's not a stolen vehicle, it's got stolen plates," he said. Prusak's been blaming himself for the theft. "I know I shouldn't, but hindsight is 20-20. I should have just taken it on Friday and just dropped everything [else]. It's very disappointing," he said. "But no one got hurt. It's just a bunch of things. We'll bounce back from that." One way or another, the club will have grooming equipment again — whether it is returned or needs to be repurchased, Prusak said. "We're going to go on," he said, but he hasn't been able to give much thought to how that will happen. "We do not have anything in the budget at this point." Whenever and however the equipment is replaced, one thing is absolutely certain, he said. "I'm going to put GPS on everything."
