Equipment lineup

Each machine in Dixon Rock’s fleet plays a role in supporting productivity and quality.

The 1300 Maxtrak delivers up to 253 tph and features the Automax cone crusher, which includes hydraulic setting adjustment, tramp release and an unblocking system. Its crushing action provides high reduction ratios and cubicity, which is key to creating reliable road base materials.

The Chieftain 2200 includes dual-screen boxes and can operate in two- and four-bearing configurations, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The quick setup time, track mobility and hydraulically folding conveyors all contribute to faster transitions and easier maintenance, which is especially important for smaller operations.

Additionally, CT80 stacking conveyors play a role in keeping the entire site flowing smoothly. With four conveyors in constant use, Dixon Rock can separate, stockpile and load material with less manual handling or downtime.

Dealer support

For a company like Dixon Rock, reliability is everything – and that’s where its partnership with Powerscreen Western comes in.

As a smaller operation, Dixon Rock cannot afford extended downtime. It relies on the dealer to keep parts and service responsive and dependable.

“Working with Powerscreen Western has been pretty enjoyable,” Dixon says. “I can get parts the next day when needed, and their service is great and reliable. That makes a huge difference when every minute counts.”
