Compact Equipment is a trade pub covering the smaller categories of construction machinery. Our gearheads operate, analyze and write about off-highway equipment such as skid steers, mini excavators, utility vehicles, telehandlers and basically any diesel- or battery-powered construction machine (some landscape and ag too) that can be hauled on a trailer without a CDL. We dissect market trends, explain complex OEM systems, visit manufacturing facilities and tradeshows and dispense our insights to contractors, machine operators, fleet managers, rental houses, municipalities and even the manufacturers themselves.
