To make the cleanup process of used trucks and bays more efficient, Joe Wood, Mike Hackett, and Mark Hanrahan of Madison County, Iowa, came up with the idea to put a squeegee on a skid steer. On a rainy day, the trio brought the idea to life by attaching the squeegee to the skid steer with reclaimed steel and baler belting for the ground contact material. Between the hours spent and the materials, the total cost of the project was under $500.

Since utilizing the squeegee, the team was able to cut down the cleanup process from two hours to 15 minutes, freeing up the time to focus on other projects. It has also helped to considerably cut down dust in the shop.
