In their fifth year, the annual Contractor’s Choice Awards invite the contractor audience to vote and pick the best equipment available on the jobsite. Manufacturers can submit nominations in 34 different product categories. The nominations are routed through an independent group of judges, and then contractors are given the chance to vote for what they view as the best product. The top three winners in each category receive either a gold, silver or bronze award.
