As Jeff explains, this is a product designed to outlast expectations: “We’re very confident… when they try it, they’re going to love it. The paint, the way it runs, the engineering of it, the benefits—they’re going to love it”
With inventory ready to ship, customers no longer face long waits to receive the idlers they need. Faster turnaround means more reliability for operations and projects.
