om Kidd enjoys battling hurricanes. The 70-something entrepreneur from Holly Springs, North Carolina owns Tom Kidd, L.L.C, a “heavy maintenance company” that expands into 24/7 action when a hurricane strikes the East Coast. “There’s nothing like working at 3 in the morning, the power’s off, with the wind blowing 100 miles an hour,” he laughs. “We’ve got to be there. People depend on us.” Kidd’s day-to-day business provides specialty welding and maintenance services for a variety of businesses, but steps things up during hurricanes, making emergency repairs. He outfitted his latest service truck for those emergency repairs as well as to service the day-to-day needs of more than 80 Harris Teeter grocery stores in his region. “We need a truck with a crane that can lift 500 to 1,000 pounds of compressors up to the motor room on the second story of their buildings,” he said. “We worked with Maintainer (Corporation of Iowa) to get a custom-designed 14-foot service body with a 34-foot-long crane. With (the crane) mounted six feet off the ground on the service body, we’ve got 40 feet of reach, straight up.” Kidd admits it took time to get his truck’s design “right.”
