Zep Construction
Mr. Jovan Zepcevski recently purchased a new APE Model 75 Top Drive Auger running from a new APE Model 350 Power Unit, he also purchased a Used J&M Model 416 Vibratory Driver to use with the APE 350 Power unit when it is not in service with the APE Model 75 Auger. This purchase gives Zep Construction more options with less initial expense. I look forward to helping Mr. Zepcevski continue to upgrade his Piledriving equipment fleet in the future.
APE Caribbean
Brothers David & Tony Cooper owners of Marenco LTD of Barbados W.I. recently purchased a New J&M Model 50 Power unit to run this Sand Dredge. The J&M Model 50 Power unit is used in conjunction with a 6” Sand Pump. When they have completed the Dredge work the J&M Model 50 P.U. will be used to Power their recently purchased J&M Model 218 Pile Crusher.
The Coopers once again have shown me you can build a very functional and profitable piece of equipment using what they have on hand and some old fashioned Caribbean Engineering.
