Underscoring the importance of the right equipment to a contractor’s bottom line, the editorial staff of Asphalt Contractor magazine selected products for its Top 30 Editor’s Choice Awards. The items on this list represent the tried and true as well as the new and improved, reflecting the breadth of products and equipment used by asphalt businesses.
Asphalt contractors researching construction equipment purchases can find the industry’s preferred products, courtesy of the editors of Asphalt Contractor, the premier magazine dedicated to asphalt producers and contractors, and visitors to ForConstructionPros.com, the construction industry's #1 web portal.
The Top 30 Editor’s Choice Awards are chosen by the Asphalt Contractor editorial staff for meeting various criteria including longevity and consistency in the market, dependability, productivity and innovation. To gauge readers’ preferences, they also factored in how much interest these products received on the Buyers Guide at ForConstructionPros.com/Asphalt.
“Equipment is the lifeblood of our readers’ businesses -- the right equipment choices can mean the difference between a profit or a loss on a project,” says Lisa Cleaver, Asphalt Contractor editor. “Every asphalt contractor has his or her favorite piece of equipment. Some pieces of equipment have proven their prowess for adding profits. Others are popular for their ease of use and high productivity. And then there are those exciting new introductions which offer the latest innovations. To honor those products which achieve these ideals, we offer this year’s Top 30 Editor’s Choice Awards.”
Asphalt Contractor, produced by AC Business Media, congratulates the following companies and products identified as the 2017 Top 30 Editor’s Choice Awards. Additional information on the winning products can be found in the May issue of Asphalt Contractor or at ForConstructionPros.com/Asphalt.
