Nelson Family remembers Ryan Harner

As many of you know we lost a valuable and dedicated co-worker in Ryan Harner on February 10th.  I personally would like to thank each of you who took the time to call, write an email, or send a card. So many of you have responded in such kind and generous ways, Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with his family as they continue in the daily lives without their beloved husband and father.

Ryan worked at Nelson Equipment Co., Inc. for over twelve years and as I and others attempt to take on some of his daily responsibilities we are amazed at how much he was able to accomplish in a day and always with a positive attitude.

Nelson goes “Bananas” for Security

Dole contacted Michael Nelson and needed someone to come out and design a security solution to their shipping and receiving departments.  Trailers full of product come and go out of the facility all day long and proper documentation is vital when transporting a consumable product.  The primary problem to overcome was the lack of space to perform all the necessary tasks required from security personnel.  A workspace was required out in an area that currently was open to all that Mother Nature had to offer.

That’s when Michael worked with a supplier to create a customized security building to handle the functions called for in the application.  Due to space constraints, the security buildings were designed in a narrow configuration with rear entrance doors, full view windows, HVAC units mounted overhead, and roof overhang that was modified so that trucks would not hit them upon entry into and out of the facility.

The result of this customized solution was seven security buildings that are self contained and easy to relocate with minimal effort.  These buildings are currently in service at multiple locations across the country showing once again the “can do” approach Nelson takes when addressing difficult applications.

Here is just some of the ABC’s to help you get started.
