Welcome to the results of the first annual Contractors' Top 50 Products Awards, a unique program where the winners are selected by Equipment Today subscribers and visitors to the ForConstructionPros.com web portal. For this year's award, inquiries on new products featured in the publication and on the website over a 12-month period were tabulated to determine the top-rated products for 2011.
Recipients have been sorted into categories based on product type or application. Manufacturers were able to receive only one award, so the winning product represents the single highest lead-generating product for the company for the specified time frame.
As you review our awards coverage, you'll see there are some no-brainers among the winners, but there are also some interesting surprises. To give you more insight on their benefits, we asked the manufacturers to share some background on the development of the product and its unique features.
For more information on this year's award recipients, the Contractors' Top 50 section of ForConstructionPros.com.
