You Need to Add a Tilt Rotator to Your Mecalac Excavator

Published on: June 29th, 2026

Installing a tilt rotator on your Mecalac excavator is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. The tilt rotator allows the attachment to tilt up to 45 degrees and rotate a full 360 degrees, giving you precise control from the cab. This means you no longer have to reposition the entire machine to get the right angle. At Powerco, our factory-trained technicians handle the complete installation process from start to finish.
Our service team makes the installation process smooth and reliable. We begin with a thorough inspection of your Mecalac’s hydraulic system, then integrate the tilt rotator with custom hydraulic lines, quick-couplers, and the necessary electrical connections. Every installation includes pressure testing, calibration, and a full function check to ensure everything operates safely and efficiently. We also provide hands-on operator training so your team can get the most out of the new capabilities right away. With years of experience on Mecalac equipment, our technicians complete most installations quickly with minimal downtime.
The performance boost after installation is dramatic. Operators finish tasks in a fraction of the time because they can reach awkward spots, dig around obstacles, and maintain perfect grade without repositioning. It reduces track and undercarriage wear, lowers fuel consumption, and minimizes operator fatigue. What used to require multiple machines or constant movement can now be handled with one versatile Mecalac.
With a tilt rotator installed, your Mecalac becomes far more versatile, digging precise trenches, grading slopes, backfilling around foundations, sorting materials, and handling light lifting tasks with ease. At Powerco, we stand behind every installation with our dedicated service teams at all three locations. Contact us today to schedule your Mecalac tilt rotator installation and experience the difference for yourself.

Why the myCASE App And Telematics Are Essential for Your CASE Fleet

Published on: June 18th, 2026

In today’s competitive construction world, staying on top of your fleet’s performance is more important than ever. CASE telematics through the myCASE Construction app gives you real-time visibility into every machine — location, utilization, fuel consumption, idle time, and maintenance needs — all from your phone. Instead of guessing when service is due or wondering where your equipment is working, you get accurate data that helps you make smarter decisions every single day.
The biggest advantage is proactive maintenance. The myCASE app sends timely alerts for service intervals, fault codes, and performance issues before they turn into expensive breakdowns. This means less unexpected downtime, lower repair costs, better fuel efficiency, and longer equipment life. Fleet managers love being able to compare machines, assign tasks, set geofences, and track productivity trends, turning raw data into real operational improvements.
At Powerco, we don’t just sell CASE equipment, we help you get the most out of the technology that comes with it. Our factory-trained technicians are experts at setting up, troubleshooting, and maximizing your myCASE telematics system. With three convenient locations in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Clinton NJ, plus dedicated service teams ready to assist, we make sure your telematics works perfectly and delivers maximum value.
Don’t leave money and productivity on the table. Contact us today to learn more about activating myCASE on your fleet or schedule a quick demo of how it can transform your operation.

Why Proper DEF Maintenance Matters for Your CASE & Kubota Diesel Equipment

Published on: June 4th, 2026

If you run modern CASE or Kubota diesel machines, DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is no longer optional — it’s essential for keeping your equipment running cleanly and efficiently. DEF works with your machine’s SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system to reduce harmful emissions. Skipping DEF maintenance can lead to reduced engine power, warning lights, forced derates, and even expensive repairs to the emissions system. In short, a little attention to DEF now prevents major headaches and costly downtime later.
Proper DEF care also protects your investment. High-quality DEF keeps the SCR system functioning at peak performance, helps your machine stay emissions compliant, and can improve overall fuel efficiency. For contractors and equipment owners in Pennsylvania and surrounding areas, staying on top of DEF maintenance means fewer surprises during busy seasons and better resale value when it’s time to trade up.

DEF Do’s and Don’ts

Do:

• Always use high-quality, API-certified DEF from trusted suppliers
• Store DEF in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Top off DEF regularly before it runs too low
• Use dedicated, clean containers and funnels when filling
• Check DEF levels as part of your daily/weekly maintenance routine

Don’t:

• Mix DEF with water, fuel, or any other fluids
• Use DEF that has been exposed to extreme heat or has been frozen and thawed multiple times
• Top off with non-certified or contaminated DEF
• Ignore DEF warning lights or alerts
• Leave DEF sitting in the machine for very long periods without use

At Powerco, Inc., our factory-trained technicians are experts at DEF system service, diagnostics, and maintenance for both CASE and Kubota equipment. With three convenient locations and the best techs around, we make it easy to keep your diesel fleet compliant and running strong.
Don’t wait until you get a derate warning in the middle of a job. Schedule your DEF service with Powerco today — your machines (and your bottom line) will thank you.

Why May is the Smartest Month to Service Your Equipment’s AC & Coolant System

Published on: May 18th, 2026

As temperatures start climbing in May, it’s easy to push off maintenance until the real heat hits. But waiting until July is one of the most expensive mistakes equipment owners make. By scheduling your heavy equipment’s air conditioning and coolant system service now, you avoid the long wait times that come when everyone else suddenly needs emergency repairs during the first heat wave. Technicians aren’t yet slammed, parts are readily available, and you can get your machine back fast instead of sitting idle for days or weeks in peak season.
May service also catches small problems before they become major failures. A worn AC compressor, clogged radiator, low coolant, or failing thermostat might not cause issues in mild spring weather — but once the summer sun beats down, that same machine can overheat in under an hour, costing you thousands in downtime, emergency repairs, and lost productivity. A proper inspection and service in May gives your equipment the best chance to run cool and reliable all summer long, while extending the life of expensive components.
Don’t wait until your operator is sweating in the cab and production slows down. Bring your machine to Powerco, Inc. this May for expert AC and coolant service. With three convenient locations and the best factory-trained technicians in the business, we’ll make sure your CASE, Kubota, or other heavy equipment stays cool and productive when the heat really kicks in. Call or stop by your nearest Powerco location today — slots fill up fast!
