How long does design take?

Most conceptual designs take two to four weeks depending on project complexity. We move quickly because we’ve done this work before and know what questions to ask upfront. Detailed planning and permitting can extend the timeline, but we keep you informed every step.

What if I'm not sure what I need?

That’s exactly why we start with a thorough needs assessment. We’ll analyze your current operation, talk through your growth plans, and recommend equipment based on real-world experience. You don’t need to have all the answers—we’ll help you figure it out.

Can you work with my existing contractor?

Absolutely. Our local teams will coordinate with your general contractor, architect, or building team to make sure everything integrates smoothly. We handle equipment specifications and installation while your contractor manages the structural and electrical work. If you aren’t working with someone, we can also help you find a building team that fits your needs.

Do you handle equipment installation?

Yes. Installation is part of our turnkey approach. Our factory-trained technicians install all equipment, test everything, and train your team. We don’t hand off the project and disappear—we stay involved until you’re ready to operate.

What about service after the project?

We provide ongoing support through inspections, repairs, and maintenance. Your facility is an investment, and we help protect it. We’re here for the long term, not just the sale.

Marcus Webb

Fleet manager, transit authority

"We've worked with a lot of equipment companies over the years. SLE is different—they actually care whether the job gets done right, not just whether they made the sale."
