Breaking Ground

50 Ways to Build Your Business’ Future

Becky Schultz / bschultz@acbusinessmedia.com

Alot has happened since the last time we shared the recipients of the Contractors’ Top 50 New Products Awards. From the industry peaks leading up to CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020, to the deep lows of the pandemic in the weeks that followed, it’s been a long and uneven journey back upward.

But through it all, the construction industry has remained resilient — and curious. Contractors continued to research and explore the new equipment and technologies that they knew could help them rebuild their business and profits once the recovery got back into swing.

Here’s the list of the solutions that you and your peers identified as this year’s top new products. Congratulations to this year’s recipients! • Autocar DC-64D Severe-duty Class 8
