The product must be available for purchase in the United States and must have first been available for purchase between August 1, 2018 and July 31, 2019. Redesigns or significant modifications to earlier equipment occurring within the entry dates may be considered. Entry materials, including the payment of $495 per entry, must be sent by Nov. 11.
The winners will be selected by a panel of independent rental industry judges. Gold, silver and bronze winners will be profiled extensively in the January 2020 issue of RER and others will be profiled throughout the year. Last year’s three primary winners were Serious Labs (Gold) for its Ryze-MEWP VR Simulator; Point-of-Rental Software for its UnLockIt App; and Sullair (Bronze) for its OFD 1550 portable oil-free rotary screw air compressor.
