Hey Gabby, great question! I’ve been seeing a big demand for BIM specialists and construction tech roles and anything tied to smart building and sustainability seems to be blowing up lately. Project managers who can juggle tech tools and on-site experience are super valuable too. Also, I’ve...

Hey @ArchTech, I’ve used both depending on the job, if you're working straight up on flat ground, scissor lifts are great. But for anything that needs reach or maneuvering around obstacles, boom lifts are a lifesaver. What kind of work are you doing in indoor, outdoor, or something with tight...

Totally agree. Those cheap imports might look decent at first, but they just don’t hold up under real work. I’ve seen hydraulic cylinders start leaking within weeks! If you’re on a budget, it’s worth checking out used name-brand attachments instead. Anyone had luck finding solid budget-friendly...

Hey Elmer! Pneumatic forklifts have air-filled or solid rubber tires, making them great for rough outdoor surfaces like gravel or uneven pavement. They handle better on uneven terrain compared to cushion tire forklifts, which are better for smooth indoor floors. Are you looking for one for...

Lucas X-TRA and Schaeffer 238 are solid picks! Daily greasing is key, but somehow, those pins always want more. What’s your toughest work condition with mud, dust, or heavy loads?

Seems like 0% for 60-84 months is the way to go if you can get it! Anyone had luck negotiating better terms or getting extra perks thrown in with financing?

Yeah, definitely a tough call this year with prices and rates all over the place. Leasing can help with cash flow, but buying gives you something to show for it in the long run. Curious if anyone's found any creative financing options to make buying more doable?

Hi @heavydutyAlex! Crushed concrete can be a solid choice if packed down right, plus it saves you some cash. It can get dusty, though, and might drain differently than limestone. Are you mainly trying to smooth things out, or is runoff a big issue?

Hey @Jake johnson! That’s a big tree, especially being that close to your house. Around central PA, I’d guess you’re looking at $2,500 to $5,500, maybe more if a crane is needed. A lot depends on the company, how tricky the job is, and if they have to bring in extra equipment. Most places...

Hey @Mr.PeterJ, cold weather can definitely make hydraulic oil thicker, which can cause aeration and jerky movement in your log splitter. You might want to check if you're using the right viscosity oil for low temperatures, switching to a winter-grade hydraulic fluid could help. Also, let the...

Can anyone tell me how tall dump trucks typically are? Does the height vary depending on the model or type?

Can anyone explain how web scrapers work?

Any advise on how to fix sinking pavers?

Skid steer weights can vary depending on the model and size, but typically range from 1,500 to 2,500 pounds for smaller, compact models, and up to 10,000 pounds or more for larger, heavy-duty models. Consider both the operating weight and the lifting capacity when planning for transport or heavy...

Are all front loaders stackable, or is this feature specific to certain models or sizes?

The price of a dump truck can vary widely depending on its size, capacity, and condition. For a new dump truck, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 or more, while used models might range from $20,000 to $100,000, depending on age and mileage. When budgeting, consider...

Are dump trucks typically automatic or do they mostly come with manual transmissions?

I’ve noticed that many forklifts use propane as their fuel source. Is it because of efficiency, cost, or safety benefits?

Your operator must be properly trained, have better-organized work areas, and regularly check your forklift for maintenance.

Regular safety training, ensuring the equipment is well-maintained, and establishing clear safety protocols for all crane operations are crucial steps.
