Equipment World Digital Magazine
Issue link: https://read.dmtmag.com/i/473140
W ay back in oh, 2011, the main focus of Equipment World was giving you a monthly roundup of indus- try trends, news, equipment insights and maintenance tips. All of that is still true, but change "monthly" to "daily" and add a hefty dose of breaking news, videos and photo galleries and you have a clearer picture of what we now offer. While this information can keep you well informed, we know you don't have the time to constantly monitor what's on our website. Which is why I highly recommend that you subscribe (free!) to our three newsletters, which give you a quick scan of what's new: Equipment World Daily: All of the World of Concrete intros you see in this issue first appeared on our website and in this newslet- ter. Which means as a subscriber you get this information at least four weeks earlier than you'll see it here. It's also more detailed in- formation, since our website doesn't have the same space restrictions as print. Another big subscriber benefit: we give away stuff, such as the Cat B15 rugged smartphone offered this past fall and the 16 construction models we shipped last summer as part of our Model Mania special report. Newsletter subscribers find out about these contests early on. (A tip: we're not done with the giveaways.) Equipment World's Better Roads Daily: As the highway funding debate picks up once again, it's hard to keep track of all the pro- posals and counterproposals on the federal level, not to mention the state level. This daily newsletter is dedicated to all things road- building: not only what's going on with the highway funding front, but the new equip- ment and tools those in this market should know about. Much of the information in this newsletter is being produced by our new senior editor, Chris Hill, who has taken on roadbuilding as his primary beat. Chris may be new to roadbuilding, but not to what constitutes news; you'll enjoy his straightforward, infor- mative style. Equipment World Tech Newsletter: Tom Jackson, our executive editor, and Wayne Grayson, our online editor, have made this monthly newsletter a must read. Starting with Wayne's special report on drones in construc- tion (which we summarized in our October cover story), since September this newsletter has focused on ground breaking tech news, such as Komatsu's intelligent excavator and how Caterpillar's E2 Series excavators over- came emissions challenges. In February, Wayne detailed the Busybusy app, created by a contractor for contractors as a way to automate construction labor cost management. We break a new tech story here each month, making sure the futuristic is bal- anced by the practical. Each newsletter details the breadth of what we report on every week; when you sub- scribe, you'll start to realize it's much, much more than you see in the magazine you're now holding. Note: To sign up for any or all of these free newsletters, simply go to www.equipment- world.com/subscriptions. Enter your name and email and you're on your way.
