“Tadano Mantis Cranes have a great reputation in the industry. They’re tough. They’re versatile. They’re unmatched in performance and reliability.”

said Jeff Johnson, Executive Vice President and COO at Scott Powerline, at the massive show in Las Vegas.

CONEXPO also gave Tadano Mantis a chance to honor it valuable partner, as Scott Powerline and Utility Equipment celebrate turning 20 in 2020. We were excited to present Jeff and his team with a 20^th Anniversary crystal plaque and to display the GTC-550 with the SPL commemorative logo.

The Scott Powerline tale is a classic American success story of hard work and service, and here is some of that inspiring detail:

The Scott Powerline story began in a cotton field outside of Tallulah, LA., with a chance meeting between Tom Scott, Jr. and Irby Construction Company.  An enduring relationship between Mr. Scott and Irby brought Scott Truck and Tractor, a farm and general construction equipment distributor founded in 1939 by his father Tom Scott, Sr., into the world of utility-related construction and maintenance.  Since that day, over forty years ago, Scott has provided contractors and providers in the powerline, telecommunication, and other related utility industries with industry-recognized products and unsurpassed service.  Scott equipment has served on numerous projects from Alaska to Florida, Canada to California – not only that, but many of the employees of Scott Powerline have chewed much of the same ground supporting that equipment.  According to Tom Scott, Jr., our company’s founder, “Service to the customer is priority #1.  That commitment is the basis of our success in the past, present and future.”

That commitment to service, coupled with the recognition of enormous opportunity in the industry, led Mr. Scott to “spin off” the Powerline division and form Scott Powerline and Utility Equipment, L.L.C., on March 31, 2000.  At the time, Scott Powerline employed no more than 13 employees and worked out of a small office in Monroe, LA – today, we’ve more than quadrupled our workforce operating out of a much larger facility in Monroe as well as a location in McDonough, GA.”

Scott Powerline and Utility Equipment is headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana and has a service center in McDonough, Georgia. Scott offers everything from Mantis cranes to boom trucks to bucket trucks to pressure drills and tracked utility vehicles.

“The farmers I meet are good people and just like me. I want them to succeed, which helps me be successful as well. I love to see that what I’ve done makes a difference at the end of day. I enjoy my job and meeting all the people is the most rewarding thing about it.”

“Mose is a great example for our new applicators. He is the first one to arrive and the last one to leave during the busy season. This sets the expectation for our younger applicators, many of whom Mose has trained.”

“I have children and grandchildren, so being responsible with products is important to me. Looking to the future, I would want someone to be precise when they apply, so I make sure I am precise. Today’s equipment makes that much easier than in the past.”

 

“As in previous years, the candidate field for this year’s award was outstanding. With 80 nominations, including several from Canada, narrowing the field to three finalists was a tough yet rewarding job. After meeting Mose, we knew we had found a great applicator and advocate for our industry. We hope he enjoys his new Harley Davidson, and we look forward to working with him in the coming year to share his insights and knowledge with others.”
