Equipment ( MPE ), have been outstanding . “ MPE has gone out of their way to make sure that we are fully supported , trained , and comfortable with the daily operation of our equipment . They are 24 / 7 for emergency repairs , troubleshooting , and technical support . As we were the first ones to request a 10-ton unit , Falcon and MPE worked with us to custom design and build these machines for our application at no cost to us .” Milwaukee County ended up purchasing three Falcon 10-ton machines . “ Due to the size of our coverage area , we have three Highway Maintenance facilities , so each facility has a 10-ton unit ,” Santiago said . “ During early or late-season asphalt repair periods , all three units are used daily . In winter months , all three machines are utilized to keep cold mix warm prior to application .” Every patcher Milwaukee County owns is a Falcon , to compliment the three 10-ton machines . They own and operate two 4-ton slip-ins and a 4-ton trailer mounted unit .
