- Electrically powered compaction machines
- Solution-oriented hybrid and battery systems
- Machine-integrated sensor technology for construction site monitoring
Flexible solutions thanks to battery-powered tools and modular systems
Many manufacturers now rely on modular platforms and cross-manufacturer battery systems. Bosch, for example, has created AMPShare, a common base that can be used across different tools. Brands such as Makita, Metabo, and HiKOKI are also demonstrating how powerful modern cordless tools have become—whether for wood, metal, or special construction site applications.
- Cross-platform battery systems for trade & construction
- Powerful grinding, sawing, and drilling tools
- Mobile solutions for locations without a power connection
Specialized equipment and accessories for precision and safety
In addition to large machines, specialized construction equipment and accessories are also gaining in importance. Whether cutting equipment for insulation materials, diamond tools for cable laying, or air purification solutions for dust-free workplaces—the range is wide. Companies such as Dustcontrol and Cedima demonstrate how occupational safety and technical efficiency can go hand in hand.
- Precise cutting systems for concrete, stone, and insulation materials
- Air filter systems for low-dust construction sites
