About the Heavy Equipment  training 

Accomplishing feats of heavy industry, like building skyscrapers, takes a village: a long and complex value chain and many participants. 

This Primer is all about recognizing and understanding a critical industry that falls somewhere in the middle of this village: the space of companies that make high-powered machines that enable intensive work. This is the Heavy Equipment Industry, and it includes hundreds or thousands of different types of machines, ranging from excavators for digging, ultra-large trucks for hauling, and rollers for smoothing out roads and other surfaces. It also includes tractors and agricultural equipment, forestry equipment, oil drilling equipment, and so much more. 

In this Primer, we break it all down: the types of equipment, the companies that make equipment, the key steps of the value chain, and the major trends to expect.
