What Makinex USA does

Makinex USA LLC is the US operating subsidiary of Makinex, an Australian private company founded in 2004. Makinex USA was established in 2013 in Torrance, California and relocated to Mansfield, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth region in August 2022 to support what the company described as substantial growth. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a portfolio of specialized construction equipment targeting concrete contractors, flooring contractors, demolition contractors, equipment rental professionals, and portable power users.

The product line centers on solving three field-level problems: silica dust exposure (via integrated dust suppression on grinders, mixers, and Hose2Go water systems), operator strain and hand-arm vibration syndrome (via the Jackhammer Trolley that reduces HAV exposure from 9.7 m/s² to 7.3 m/s², the Powered Hand Truck with 309 lb lift capacity, and the Lift Assist LA90-350), and jobsite power access (via the battery-powered Portable Power Box with up to 15kWh capacity and a range of portable generators). The technology stack is mechanical and electromechanical with extensive international patent protection across the Jackhammer Trolley, Hose2Go, Powered Hand Truck, and Mixing Station lines. Certifications include CE, UKCA, UL 1973, UN38.3, CARB 50-state, and CSA standards.

Revenue is generated through direct sales (phone, email, order form), equipment rental through hire centers and rental fleets (including Sunbelt Rentals and Edco), and online ordering, all under a quote-based pricing model. Section 179 tax deduction benefits are positioned to support contractor purchases. The company has won three consecutive industry awards between 2024 and 2026 from Concrete Contractor Magazine and World of Concrete.
