The 10 Best Brands in Construction Part 2
On the project site, there’s nothing more frustrating than equipment-related setbacks that could have been prevented if you had invested in better supplies initially. Popular brands in construction are known for providing quality services and materials that don’t fall apart during inopportune times.
Remember, the tools and equipment you use will have a significant impact on the quality of your finished project, so consult a Greensboro contractor lawyer to help ensure that your team is using the appropriate equipment as dictated by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s (OSHA’s) rigid guidelines. As we discussed in part one, using the best brands leads to superior results.
Honeywell
Honeywell’s integrated approach to building addresses the need for security and life safety management systems by putting wellness at the forefront of all levels of construction. Honeywell aims to confront global challenges centered around energy, safety, productivity, security, and global urbanization.
Caterpillar
It’s easy to spot Caterpillar’s bright yellow machines when driving by a construction site. Caterpillar, or Cat, is a truly reliable brand with a catalog of products featuring over 300 machines. Cat has grown substantially since being established in 1925; a direct result of their ardent dedication to the construction industry and worker safety.
Volvo
Volvo, like Hyundai, is an automobile manufacturer that has leveraged their skills in automotive engineering to enter the heavy machinery sector. Volvo Construction Equipment is one of the leading suppliers of construction-related machinery in the world. Volvo’s line of machines are optimized for all phases of roadway construction and rehabilitation, from general construction to maintenance and beyond.
Otis
The world’s largest manufacturer of lifts, escalators, and moving walkways was founded by the inventor of the safety elevator more than 160 years ago. Otis is an enormous company serving more than 200 countries and territories. Nobody understands lift systems quite like Otis, which is why Otis is responsible for maintaining an estimated 1.9 million elevators and escalators worldwide. Otis provides an integral service for contractors working on large building projects.
Bosch
When your project requires massive quantities of power, Bosch is the best brand for the job. Bosch’s Power Tools Division is a global leader in cordless and corded power tools, measuring tools, and tool accessories. Although Bosch’s products and services aren’t exclusively intended for construction professionals, their history of dependable tools and appliances has made them a staple of many project sites.
Picking the right brand for the job can help you avoid untimely workplace injuries, OSHA citations, or other negative externalities that commonly plague project sites. Consulting a Greensboro contractor attorney to help you avoid brands with a bad history can mitigate many potential workplace hazards.
