If your project needs tight coordination and you're working with multiple teams, BIM’s definitely worth it; otherwise, CAD’s still a solid pick for simpler builds.

Totally agree, if you’re tight on space but still need power, a skip loader’s a solid all-rounder for small jobs.

Definitely seeing the shift too, smart helmets and wearables are popping up more lately, especially for safety tracking and fatigue monitoring. It’s wild how fast the tech’s catching on once people see it actually works on-site. Curious to see how far it’ll go in the next few years!

Totally agree with you all that overhead lines are no joke. We had a close call last summer with a boom lift that barely cleared a power line, even with a spotter. Gave everyone a reality check on just how critical that safe distance really is.

Hey everyone, I often see compact loaders being used in tight spaces—what are these small loaders called? Are there different types depending on the job?

Good points! Some workplaces require them, especially if forklifts operate near flammable materials. Have you run into any situations where a fire extinguisher on a forklift actually came in handy?

Clark forklifts are still made by Clark Material Handling Company, and they’ve been around forever! They’ve changed hands a bit over the years, but they’re still cranking out solid machines. Are you looking at getting one, or just curious about their history?

Good stuff here! I’ve also heard of people mixing motor oil with a bit of STP oil treatment or even a little bit of chainsaw bar oil (if you have any left) to thicken it up and make it stick better. @LoggerMike, have you tried running a mix, or are you sticking with one type of oil? Curious how...

Lots of great points here! Rental costs can add up fast, but factoring in transport fees and minimum rental times is key. @dig, have you checked with local rental companies yet? Curious what kind of rates you’re seeing in your area!

Hey Ernie! When selecting a generator for construction or industrial use, it's crucial to consider factors like power output, fuel efficiency, noise levels, and the specific demands of your job site. For instance, diesel-powered generators are popular due to their efficiency and durability...

Hey Toolman_123! I've found diesel generators to be more fuel-efficient and durable for heavy-duty applications, though they can be noisier. Propane generators run cleaner and have a longer shelf life, making them a good choice for eco-conscious users. Gasoline generators are generally more...

Man, this is soooo cool! it's an old-school boxy design mixed with modern technology!
