Boggs & Poole

What Boggs & Poole does

The submitted data describes Cratos, a manufacturer and direct seller of battery-electric compact construction equipment for indoor and enclosed-space work. The product portfolio spans electric mini skid steers (2Speed, 100ECO), electric material buggies (ES800, ES500, MCE400), an electric material mover (Ergo Mover), a mini excavator (CMX18), and a compact track loader (THR2000), all engineered around batteries built for a full workday and targeting jobsites where emissions, noise, and air-quality rules constrain internal-combustion equipment. The firmographic block attached to this record — a 2003-founded general contracting and concrete services business in Bossier City, Louisiana, with 51–100 employees under the name 'Boggs & Poole' — is materially inconsistent with the product-level evidence describing Cratos (battery-electric equipment OEM, founded 2013, global operations). The analysis below relies on the substantive product and operational evidence, and the firmographic discrepancy is preserved as a data flag rather than reconciled.

The go-to-market is direct equipment sales through cratos.com and phone (833-4CRATOS, [email protected]), supported by a customer financing offering via cratos.com/financing. The company pursues a multi-vertical segmentation strategy targeting general contractors and facility operators in hospitals, airports, warehouses, government buildings, corporate offices, labs and pharma, schools, and food plants. Commercial reach is built via trade show presence at the NDA Show, Canadian Concrete Expo, ARA Show, and World of Concrete, plus an organic social footprint on LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. No dealer, distributor, or reseller channel is mentioned, and pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are hardware-sales-driven under a direct (and financed) sales motion; no recurring software, telematics, or service-contract revenue stream is disclosed. The business was founded in 2013 starting from a single pickup truck and has scaled to 'thousands of battery electric machines supplied across the globe' over a decade-plus of operating history.
