It’s not a pretty sight for anyone who longs to see a rebirth of America’s manufacturing prowess. The once-sprawling Ford Loraine Assembly Plant, located on the shores of Lake Erie, has been closed since the mid-2000s and is a brutal reminder of the industry’s decline.

The firm heading up that demolition, Grafton, Ohio-based Sitetech, Inc., reports that having the right tools for the job—particularly a Genesis GXP 400 mobile shear and a Genesis LXP 300 Logix Processor—has helped them obtain demo rates as high as 40,000 sq. ft. per day, meet a demanding schedule and enable the plant to continue transitioning into a functional space.
