OVERALL RATING:

The Compact Equipment/Machines product pages on this site are consistent, though the unavoidable drilldown can be cumbersome. Consistently designed pages include extensive specifications and links to Benefits and Features, which list components and main benefits, in turn linking to related points with summaries. Content is very good, with a PDFs in most cases including schematics performance graphs. In the Industrial/OEM area, check out the Spec Sheet Wizard to generate your own, parameter-based PDF. The slick, Big Three-like Build & Quote application lets the user build a customized piece of equipment. The Find a Dealer database works very well; results include links, distance, and directions.
