Frout Hog

Profit from the same benefits contractors across the nation are enjoying.

"The Mud Hog® makes our job run faster and more efficient. The Mud Hog® also makes our jobsite safer because bags of mortar don't have to be lifted chin high to be poured which causes less stress to a tender's back. And, since the machine makes 6 batches, a tender can come inside and help set up scaffolding, etc., instead of making mortar all day." Rudolph/Libbee Walbridge, Ohio

Since we purchased the Grout Hog®, our production without a doubt has certainly gone up. Using it, 17 bricklayers never stopped laying block. Darold Berger Masonry, Waukon, IA

"It's fast and real easy. It allowed us to keep the mess on the ground instead of the wall and scaffold. We were able to save the labor of two men a day compared to bucketing" Fairweather Masonry Company, Seattle, WA

"The Grout Hog paid for itself on the very first job used. It was especially helpful on the interior walls that were hard to service. The Grout Hog® has made our grouting operation profitable." Al Slattery Masonry, Inc, Yukon, OK

"We estimate that by using the Grout Hog® over a traditional pump, the savings on one job alone covered our purchase price." Phoenix Associates, Parkersburg, WV
