Triple E Equipment, based in Pompano Beach, Florida, was founded in 2013 by Alex Berg as a forward-thinking construction and demolition (C&D) equipment company. Alex has deep roots in the demolition industry, with his grandfather Buzz having been the first paying member of the National Association of Demolition Contractors (now the National Demolition Association). Alex’s father and uncle both operate demolition companies today.
While attending Bauma, an international trade fair for the construction industry, Alex says he and his father Richard Berg were looking for equipment that would help save on labor costs on an interior renovation project at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
They came across a machine that they thought would do the job. The pair worked with a Netherlands-based manufacturer to design a machine suitable for the C&D industries in the U.S. Alex says, “We started bringing them to the U.S. early last year. It has gone really well.”
According to Alex, “The goal of Triple E Equipment is to always stay on the cutting edge of equipment technology to bring the most advanced equipment on the market into its customers’ hands.”
The Sherpa 100ECO is one of the only fully electric mini skid steers on the market. According to Alex, it is capable of accessing areas of buildings that were previously inaccessible by equipment powered by fossil fuels.
“Working inside active hospitals and schools or occupied office buildings and apartment buildings is no longer an issue with the Sherpa 100ECO,” the company states. “With a carrying capacity of [more than] 1,000 pounds, the Sherpa 100ECO can handle almost any job.”
The company adds that the electric motor emits no fumes and has a running time of eight hours on a full charge. “At the end of your working day, just plug the machine into your standard 110-volt or 220-volt outlet and get ready for a productive day tomorrow,” the company says.
Benefits of the Sherpa 100ECO include:

Benefits of the Sherpa 100ECO include:
- unobstructed access to occupied buildings because of no exhaust fumes;
- 30.7-inch width allows travel through standard doorways with the door still on the hinges;
- Alex estimates a savings of approximately $30 to $40 per day in fuel cost by plugging the Sherpa 100ECO into a 110-volt or 220-volt U.S. outlet after a full day of work; and
- hydraulic capabilities allow for numerous possibilities of attachments.
Triple E Equipment’s Sherpa 100ECO was recognized by Rental Equipment Register magazine with the overall bronze medal by for Innovative Product of the Year for 2014 and as was recognized by Concrete Construction magazine’s Most Innovative Products in the demolition and repair tools category during World of Concrete.
