Bingham Equipment
36-month, unlimited-hour program is popular
for leasing compact loaders and excavators
Leasing compact equipment is growing in popularity and can be an affordable option to traditional
financing or buying compact equipment outright.
Imperial Excavating is an established excavating company that has found success through the
Bobcat PowerLeaseSM finance program offered by Bobcat Company and its local dealer. Lower
payments with unlimited hourly usage and flexible options to purchase, trade up or walk away at the
end of the lease are just some benefits that attracted Imperial Excavating to lease multiple Bobcat®
skid-steer loaders and compact excavators.
THE MOVE TO POWERLEASE FINANCING
Justin and Jennifer Suhr, owners of Imperial Excavating, have been in business since 2004,
with the majority of their services consisting of excavating residential and commercial pools,
spas and water features.

Digging holes for installing trampolines
to ensure the trampoline surface is level
with the ground

Excavating for basement excavation

Grading, trenching and backfilling

Installing septic tanks

Removing concrete, asphalt,
sod, dirt and asphalt
IN MY
EXPERIENCE,
BOBCAT
MACHINES ARE
MORE DURABLE
AND THE
PERFORMANCE
IS BETTER.

Renovating landscapes

Supplying granite, sand and
fill dirt to jobsites
To keep up with a growing demand for its
services, Imperial Excavating needed to
expand its compact equipment fleet — and
did that using the PowerLease program.
“We really like the PowerLease program
because the monthly payments are lower
than purchasing, and we can get new
equipment every three years,” Jennifer says.
“These machines get used every day and
a breakdown can be costly and slow down
production. Leasing new equipment helps us
keep going and saves us money.”
Other advantages include no down
payment and a lower monthly payment
than traditional financing.
RIGHT SIZE,
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Currently, Imperial Excavating leases
multiple Bobcat skid-steer loaders and
compact excavators on a 36-month
lease, with unlimited hourly usage. The
business also owns four hydraulic breaker
attachments to help break up and remove
rock, asphalt and concrete.
The company’s Bobcat loaders are operated
at residential and commercial swimming
pool excavation projects. The excavators’
conventional tail swing allows for better
access through doorways, gates or crowded
yards, with impressive lift capacities. At just
36 inches wide with a bucket, the S70 is
the smallest Bobcat loader and can easily
access and work in confined areas.
“We benchmark competitors’ services
and set a higher standard, and meet this
standard consistently,” Jennifer says. “That’s
why on each jobsite we take a skid-steer
loader and excavator. They easily fit through
multiple gate sizes, giving us easy access
to someone’s backyard, without removing
the gate.”

The excavators also provide smooth
operation for tough trenching jobs and can
dig up to 12.9 feet deep in Arizona’s dynamic
soil, which can consist of rocks or caliche —
a sedimentary rock similar to natural cement.
A compact frame, ideal weight distribution,
fast cycle times and powerful breakout
forces are features the Suhrs appreciate
about their Bobcat loaders. When it
comes to performance, ease of use and
durability, the couple says there’s no
comparison between Bobcat compact
equipment and other loader brands.
POWER
LEASE
PROGRAM
Jennifer and Justin
Suhr, owners of Imperial
Excavating, said it “just
made sense financially”
to enroll in the Bobcat
PowerLeaseSM program.
Imperial Excavating
currently leases two S570s,
one S590, one S130 and
one S70 skid-steer loaders
and two E55 excavators
on a 36-month lease
from Bobcat of Phoenix.
“In my experience, Bobcat machines are
more durable and the performance is better,”
Justin says. “They save me time and money
when my machines aren’t breaking down
on jobsites. It also helps us keep on a tight
schedule so we can finish jobs on time and
keep our customers happy.”
Optimal equipment performance,
along with a PowerLease program to fit
Imperial Excavating’s needs, helps the
business function efficiently, Jennifer says.
“We are proud to say that it was an
uncompromising commitment to quality
and being the ‘best-in-class’ that have
successfully created our good image and
reputation in our market,” she says.
“This strategy also means quality over
quantity. Imperial Excavating is one of
the very few swimming pool excavating
companies that can understand extremely
complicated pool construction.”
