Heavy equipment sandblasting in Cary
Machines, truck bodies, trailers and farm iron blasted and primed at your Cary yard from an Apex based rig, priced off the published table. Call (984) 464-6620 or send the form below.
Cary looks like office parks from the highway, but the working side of town lives along East Chatham Street and NC 54, where paving, landscape, and utility contractors keep their yards, and along US 1 toward Tryon Road, where the equipment dealers and rental branches sit. That is where the calls come from. A landscape company with six skid steers and a pair of mini excavators, a paving crew with a roller and a loader that have not seen fresh paint since they were bought, a dump truck fleet where the beds are rusted through the last coat. Cary machines do not live in the harshest conditions in the Triangle, but they live in the most visible ones, and a rusted fleet parked in front of a homeowner or a town inspector costs bids.
Hardpan Equipment Blasting is fifteen minutes from any Cary yard. The rig comes to you, blasts the machine to clean steel, and primes it the same day so the topcoat has something honest to bond to. For fleet owners the batch math matters most: one Cary yard day can cover three compact machines and their attachments, and mobilization is charged once. The published table on our cost page shows the per-machine range and what moves each number, so the budget conversation happens before the truck rolls.
The other Cary specialty is trailers. Enclosed and open equipment trailers rust at the fenders, the ramp hinges, and every weld, and a trailer that looks abandoned drags a company logo down with it. A trailer blast runs $500 to $1,200 and usually rides along with a machine on the same visit.
Blasting next to Cary neighborhoods
Cary neighborhoods are tight and the town takes noise and runoff seriously. We schedule residential-adjacent yards for weekday daytime hours, use full ground containment so no media or old paint reaches a storm drain, and keep the compressor on the far side of the yard from the nearest house. If your yard backs up to homes, say so and we will plan the setup around it.
Where the Cary work comes from
Regular stops include the East Chatham Street industrial strip, the NC 54 corridor, the US 1 and Tryon Road yards, Cary public works, the Weston Parkway office parks, covering ZIPs 27511, 27513, 27518, 27519. If your yard is near those, the rig has probably already worked your road.

Cary fleet owners ask us these
How much does mobile sandblasting cost in Cary?
Skid steers and compact machines run $900 to $1,800, mid-size excavators $2,400 to $4,500, dump bodies $1,200 to $2,400, and trailers $500 to $1,200, all blasted to bare metal with Cary mobilization at $150. Hourly work is $175 to $250 with a four hour minimum. The full table is on the cost page.
Can you do several machines in one visit?
That is the best way to buy this. Mobilization is charged once per visit, and a full yard day covers two to three compact machines plus attachments, or one large excavator plus a trailer and buckets.
Do you blast landscape and paving equipment, or only heavy iron?
Both. Rollers, mini excavators, compact track loaders, walk-behind equipment frames, trailers, and dump beds are the everyday work in Cary. If it is steel and it has failed paint or rust, the rig handles it.
What do you do with the old paint and media?
It is captured on ground tarps and hauled out with us. Coatings on older machines can contain lead and chromates, and the spent media goes into a documented waste stream rather than a Cary storm drain.
