MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., September 10, 2025 – Equipment Today, a nationally respected media outlet serving the commercial construction industry, has awarded the EPEQ® Mobile Support Box from Vanair®, a Lincoln Electric Company, as one of the Contractors’ Top 50 New Products of 2025.
This prestigious annual award celebrates the most innovative and impactful new products and enhancements in construction, chosen for their excellence in innovation, quality, efficiency, and overall contribution to jobsite productivity. The winners are selected based on a combination of reader engagement and editorial review, with products nominated over a 12-month period through ForConstructionPros.com.
The EPEQ® Mobile Support Box is battery powered, fully self-contained, and designed to turn internal combustion engine (I.C.E.) vehicles or electric vehicles (EV) into mobile support powerhouses. This “Bolt and Go” system provides air power, inverters for AC power, and emergency EV charging. The EPEQ® Mobile Support Box system emits no fumes and is quiet and functional within enclosed spaces, such as vans and box trucks. Companies have the ability to reduce emissions and fuel costs without the risk of decreasing performance.
As well, the EPEQ® Mobile Support Box offers the ability for vehicles to maneuver in small driveways or other spaces with its compact design. This makes it easier for operators to enter and exit jobsites. Excessive fumes, heat, and noise are eliminated with this system for a quieter, cleaner work environment and peace of mind, as well as meeting noise or emissions regulations within local jobsites, such as neighborhoods and residencies.
For two years in a row, Vanair® has won a Contractors’ Top 50 New Products award from Equipment Today with the Vanair® PTO Shaft-Driven Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power System® in 2024. The Start-All® Jump-Pack was also nominated in 2020. To view these and other Vanair® product awards, visit here.
Being selected as one of the Top 50 New Products is a true honor and a reflection of the industry’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in construction technology and equipment. This recognition underscores the commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by contractors and advancing the industry with tools that make a measurable difference in performance, safety, and reliability.
“The recipients of this year’s Contractors’ Top 50 New Products Award embody innovation, progress and problem-solving,” said Kathy Wells, editor-in-chief of Equipment Today. “This year’s winning products not only bring contractors new and inventive solutions to some of the jobsite’s most challenging conditions, but also drive productivity, safety, and value.
