RIDGID is celebrating a major milestone this year: 100 years of designing and building innovative tools trusted on job sites around the world and handed down from generation to generation.

Hy-Brid Lifts announced David Price as director of sales covering the southeast United States. Price’s responsibilities include providing customer support as well as continuing the growth and channel development of the Hy-Brid Lifts line of low-level scissor lifts.

Think Lightweight has always strived to push the boundaries and stay ahead of the curve. That is why the firm is the first North American company in the wood manufacturing industry to have a 100-millimeter edge banding machine.

To provide equipment owners and operators with information about add-on accessories available for boom lifts and scissors, JLG has published a free accessories resource guide on #DirectAccess. These important tools can increase operators’ job site productivity, provide additional safety measures and/or extend a machine’s efficiency in certain applications.

Milwaukee Tool continues to drive innovation within the layout category with the launch of three new M18 Rotary Lasers and two new accessories. These M18 Rotary Lasers are impact-protected with the ability to withstand 1 1/2-meter drops and 2-meter tripod tips and provide a simplified setup for users.

Building departments and the hardworking professionals working within them are the silent defenders of our communities. By overseeing the permitting, inspection and occupancy authorization processes for new construction, renovations and repairs, your local building department plays a vital role in ensuring that projects are built to applicable building safety codes and standards.

Manitou Group announced that the Manitou and GEHL brands have been awarded a Sourcewell contract for medium-duty and compact construction equipment with related attachments.

The new 18V LXT Brushless 1/2-inch Hammer Driver-Drill delivers 970 inch-pounds of max torque in a compact size (only 4.9 pounds with battery).
