More Than ONE WAY

Just like there’s more than one way to cook an egg, so too are there multiple ways to power a jobsite. That’s a sentiment echoed by many of the power generation experts I spoke with to write this month’s cover story.

While electrification has taken hold in many areas, particularly in areas with more pressure from regulations and customer attitudes, there are still some jobsites that don’t have the infrastructure to support charging stations for electric equipment, and it may take some time to get that infrastructure in place.

However, with the construction industry continually moving forward, rental companies and their contractor customers don’t have the time to wait around for all those charging systems to be put into place.

That’s where hybrid power, power storage systems and fuel storage systems come into play. In other words, end customers don’t have to choose between one or the other—they can rely on multiple fuel sources to power their equipment.

You can find all of that and information on upcoming trends, such as hydrogen power, on p. 10.

In addition to our coverage on power generation equipment, our business management department digs into how rental companies use social media to their advantage (p. 16); our construction department discusses compact equipment maintenance (p. 18); our general tool department lays out the latest with pumps (p. 22); and our product section showcases the products available in the industry. To round it all off, columnist Dick Detmer describes how proper placement for workflow, customer flow and more affects rental companies’ efficiency (p. 35).

How do your customers power their jobsites? Have they been requesting alternative power sources? I’d love to hear your thoughts—and I’m sure your fellow readers would, too. Email your ideas to swebb@acbusinessmedia. com or connect with me on LinkedIn by following the QR code.
