The Shop Dog: Enhancing Service Quality at Koenig Equipment
2:33

We've been dedicated to providing top-notch service to our Customers for over 120 years, and one of the essential tools enabling us to take the next step in that process is the Shop Dog

This innovative device is revolutionizing the way our technicians operate various implements—such as air drills, combine headers, hay balers, pull-type mowers, and hay rakes—without the need for a tractor.

What is The Shop Dog? 


Streamlining Repair Processes

Equipped with hydrostatic PTO, hydraulic remotes, and a 12 Volt DC power system, The Shop Dog streamlines our repair processes. By eliminating the complications of operating a tractor, our technicians can service equipment more efficiently. The Shop Dog allows for precise control at slower speeds, making it easier to monitor and identify mechanical issues that could be missed at higher speeds. This attention to detail enhances the quality of our work, ensuring that your equipment is serviced correctly.

Moreover, The Shop Dog reduces the number of technicians required for each job, which helps us allocate resources effectively and serve you better. The ability to control the machine’s PTO and hydraulics remotely means that our technicians can operate it without needing another operator in the seat, increasing efficiency and safety.

Prioritizing Safety and Comfort

Safety is a top priority at Koenig Equipment. The Shop Dog provides a safer alternative to working with tractors around moving equipment, minimizing risks for our technicians. This remote control capability allows for greater safety during inspections and repairs.

Additionally, The Shop Dog results in less noise pollution, creating a more pleasant work environment for our team. Built with nearly all 1/4” steel and high-quality components, The Shop Dog is designed for durability and reliability, ensuring it remains an effective tool in our operations.

The Shop Dog is just one of the many ways we strive to provide exceptional service and ensure that your equipment is in the best possible condition.
