Mastering the unique challenge of spec’ing a compact excavator
The first step in spec’ing compact excavators in the 2- to 3-metric-ton range is to define what they are and what they aren’t. What they are: versatile machines that are as much tool carriers as excavators and often replace hand labor. What they aren’t: full-size excavators. This means they shouldn’t be spec’ed the same as their […]

Very stuck dump truck proves to be a challenging rescue for this excavator

A few weeks ago we shared a video with you of a low-clearance train trestle in North Carolina that trucks seem drawn to like flies to a zapper. We thought the video did a nice job of illustrating why so many of this country’s bridges are in such bad shape. Well, here’s another example from […]

Genie S-85 boom lift helps place NYC’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in just the right spot
Just more than two weeks ago, the world-famous Rockefeller Christmas tree was installed in New York City. And while that might seem a little early for putting up a Christmas tree to some of you, we’ll wager you don’t need a crane and a boom lift to do the job at home. A Genie S-85 telescopic […]

It’s Contractors vs. Architects in this Rap Battle for the ages
