Remote controlled loader gives Luck Stone a safety advantage

For those who are not familiar, Luck Stone is the oldest division of Luck Companies, headquartered in Richmond, VA. Founded in 1923, the company has grown to become one of the largest family owned and operated producers of crushed stone, sand and gravel in the U.S. With 90 years of dedication to customer service coupled with the highest standards for quality and safety, it is no wonder that innovative ideas like the company’s unmanned pit loader, is making news in recent months. In a recent demonstration, hosted by company President, Bob Grauer, at Luck Stone’s Bull Run facility near Chantilly, VA, we were able to gain a better understanding of the importance of this creative way to load aggregate, especially since the idea came from a team of employees who meet regularly for just such brainstorming sessions.
