From electric equipment to versatile attachments, there was no shortage of new and improved products at the 2021 Utility Expo. With more than 900 exhibitors and 32 acres of exhibit space, it can be easy to miss that game-changing innovation you never knew you needed. So, we hustled the show floor at the Kentucky Exposition Center and met with contractors to see what products caught their eye.
Here are some contractors' top products from the 2021 Utility Expo.

Product: Volvo ECR25 Electric excavator
Recommended by: Brandon Adams, Full Tilt Grading
Why: “The electric excavator was crazy fast. It had all the power you needed and never bogged down like a diesel would. You could track, dig and swing the boom at the same time, which for what we do is a must and hard to find in smaller equipment. The cost and battery life are going to be a downfall, but it has its place. I would definitely buy one if it had an 8-hour runtime.”
