WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT IN 2017

 

New John Deere construction equipment will be released in early 2017. We know change can be difficult to swallow, but we think you’ll like these ones. Below are some of the specific changes you’ll see in the John Deere construction equipment lineup this year.

 

Advantages of Equipment Rental

 

No matter the size of your business, leasing construction equipment is a highly beneficial in reducing costs and general maintenance. Because the technological advances made in backhoes, dozers, and other construction equipment are constantly changing, opting for equipment rental allows you to stay on top of the most current construction equipment tools and technologies, without the huge cost of buying new every few years.

 

What to Expect from Construction Equipment in 2017

 

In the world of construction equipment, you can expect to find product development and innovation in everything from remote monitoring and ergonomic controls, to quick-change attachment couplers and more. You’ll also continue to see improved fleet management through advancements in machine data management.

 

With safety and productivity at the workplace a main area of focus, developments such as automatic height-adjusting carts—which enable operators to work at optimal heights without aids from hydraulic, electrical, or pneumatic tools—are moving to the forefront of construction equipment. On a whole, emphasis on improved safety at the jobsite is huge for 2017.
