Sandblasting a piece of heavy machinery in the Mount Vernon area typically costs $2,000 to $3,500 for a mid-size excavator taken to bare metal and primed, $800 to $1,800 for a skid steer or compact machine, and $800 to $1,500 per roll-off container, with hourly work at $180 to $260 and mobilization stated up front. Mount Vernon Sandblasting is a mobile sandblasting service based in Mount Vernon, New York; the rig comes to your yard, most machines are blasted and primed in a single day, and every job runs with ground protection and captured media. A documented blast and repaint typically adds around $5,000 to a machine’s resale value, which is why refinishing before an auction or listing usually pays for itself. Coverage runs from Yonkers and the Bronx corridor through New Rochelle, White Plains, and the Sound shore towns, and the full price table is printed on the cost page.
Northeast weather writes on steel. Blasting erases it.
Equipment that works around here lives in road salt, wet clay, and freeze-thaw air, and the paint loses that fight on a schedule: rust blooming from pin bosses and weld seams, coatings lifting off the counterweight, a machine that reads a decade older than its hours. Wire wheels and rattle cans polish the symptom. Blasting removes it: every layer of failed coating and every trace of rust comes off down to clean metal, primer goes on the same day before flash rust can start, and the new paint bonds to steel instead of to the problem.
The mobile part is the practical half. A 20-ton machine on a lowboy is a permit, a driver, and two lost days before any work starts. Our rig stages at your yard, works within your fence line, and hands the machine back the same day, primed and ready for topcoat. The published price table covers machines, containers, trailers, and steel, so the budget conversation happens before the truck rolls, not after. Wondering if there is a way to get a quote for sandblasting services nearby without a site visit? Photos and a model number do it for most jobs.
Six kinds of steel, one mobile setup.
Heavy machinery
Excavators, dozers, skid steers, loaders, and attachments taken to bare metal and primed the same day at your yard. The standard prep before a repaint, a rebuild, or a resale listing.
Fleets & roll-off containers
Container rows, dump bodies, and truck fleets refinished in batches at your facility, on your schedule, with your routes still running. Fresh boxes carry the brand better than any ad.
Structural & ornamental steel
Lintels, columns, fire escapes, railings, and wrought iron stripped in place with full containment. Old coatings come off; the detail underneath stays.
Marine & shore work
Boat trailers, hull bottoms, dock hardware, and salt-side steel along the Sound, with media matched to the metal and old antifouling handled as the controlled waste it is.
Trailers & truck bodies
Utility and equipment trailers, dump bodies, and plows stripped of rust and failed paint, primed before flash rust can start. The cheapest way to make working steel last.
Municipal & salt equipment
Plows, spreaders, and DPW iron blasted in the off-season so road salt meets fresh coatings instead of bare scars. Written quotes and purchase-order billing for public fleets.
The prices are printed, so the budget comes first.
A mid-size excavator runs $2,000 to $3,500 blasted and primed. Skid steers and compact machines run $800 to $1,800, roll-off containers $800 to $1,500 with batch rates, trailers from $400, and hourly work $180 to $260 with a stated mobilization. The cost page lays out the whole table and what moves each number, the quote comes off that table, and the invoice matches the quote. Planning a fleet program or an auction run should start with real numbers, and now it can.

Common questions
Do you blast on site or do we have to haul equipment to you?
On site. The rig, the compressor, and the media travel to your yard or jobsite, so an excavator or a trailer never leaves work for a paint prep job. We set up containment for dust and recover the spent media before we leave.
What media do you use on steel versus aluminum or masonry?
Steel that is headed for paint gets coal slag or garnet to reach a clean near white profile. Aluminum, stainless, and masonry need something softer like glass bead, crushed glass, or soda so the surface is not gouged. We match the media to the metal and the coating that follows.
Can you blast in the winter in Westchester?
Yes, with limits. Blasting itself works in the cold, but primer needs the steel above the dew point and usually above 50 degrees to cure. In winter we blast and prime the same day and heat the area when a job cannot wait.
How is sandblasting a truck frame or heavy equipment priced?
Frames and trailers are priced by the piece based on rust and how much has to be masked. Excavators, loaders, and structural steel are priced by the hour with media included. The cost page carries the current rates.
