The first fleet lineup in 1978 included 3 pick-up trucks, 2 concrete form trucks, a 7 yard dump truck, a 12 yard dump truck, a ½ yard excavator, a small dozer and a skidsteer. This lineup which is known throughout southern Maine as the “Shaw Brothers lineup” is still being practiced today at the Shaw Brothers headquarters and all jobsites.

In 1982 Shaw Brothers purchased their first Cat 950B Bucket Loader to run a leased gravel pit. This was the start of providing aggregate materials not only to its own jobs but to other contractors, local cities and towns, and retail customers. This has become a significant part of our business today.
