Trans Iowa Equipment Training Day 2017

Trans Iowa Equipment hosted their 2017 Training Day last week on Tuesday, May 9 in Des Moines, IA. This was Trans Iowa's second annual Training Day, and the event was once again a success. Thank you to all of our customers who came to the event!

Training Day is a great opportunity to not only provide training, but also connect with many of our customers in one place. We offered classroom-style training sessions focusing on a variety of topics, as well as hands-on equipment demonstrations for both street and wastewater operators and mechanics alike.

In addition to our training and demos, this year we put on a Street Sweeper Challenge allowing operators to compete with their peers on a controlled course. We had 16 participants compete from many different cities, with a wide range in results! The challenge was a fun way for participants to test their street sweeping skills and knowledge utilizing an Elgin Pelican.
