SYRACUSE — Cummins Diesel Inc. has completed a nearly $4 million expansion and renovation to its facility on Eastern Avenue in Syracuse, according to William Taylor Architects.
In a release, Taylor explained that continued growth required the motor-repair shop to expand, putting on two additions.
The first added six service bays to work on diesel and natural-gas powered engines.
The addition includes a 5 ton overhead crane for pulling engines from vehicles and moving them to work areas, an in-floor heating system, and high-mounted windows to bring in daylight.
A second addition expands existing repair bays by 15 feet to allow mechanics to work on longer vehicles. Taylor says longer vehicles make a growing segment of Cummins Diesel’s work.
Cummins Diesel General Manager Jeff DeLosh says school buses are a part of that trend, as are trucks with fixed cranes, and even RVs.
Likewise he says natural-gas-powered vehicles are showing up in more fleets. In addition to public transport, he notes that some trash haulers have added natural-gas power to their fleets, as has at least one food company.
The second addition also included converting two repair bays into a dynamometer test bed room for testing engines.
DeLosh says of the expansion that was completed at the end of 2017, “we’re real happy with it.”
