Powering Aggregate Operations and Mining Sites: Rugged Backup Power from American Energy Solutions

Aggregate plants and mining operations don’t stop — and they can’t afford to lose power. These energy-intensive industries rely on continuous, heavy-duty power to run crushers, conveyors, washing systems, lighting, water pumps, safety controls, and more. Even a short outage can result in lost productivity, equipment damage, and costly downtime.


At American Energy Solutions (AES), we specialize in backup and prime power systems engineered to perform in the most demanding aggregate, quarry, and mining environments. With our deep inventory of Caterpillar and Cummins industrial generators, we keep your job site powered, productive, and protected — no matter the terrain or conditions.


Heavy-Duty Power for Heavy-Duty Work


Aggregate operations are typically off-grid or located in remote areas, where reliable power is essential for:


🏗️ Crushing and screening equipment

🚜 Conveyor belts and feeders

💧 Water pumps and dust suppression systems

🔌 Lighting and communication towers

🧯 Safety systems and ventilation controls

⚙️ Plant automation and control rooms
