Even in our home marketplace, terminology used in the Heavy Equipment Industry varies from person to person. Heavy Equipment Owners and Operators, Industry Sales people and Attachment Manufacturers sales and design people come from all walks of life and all corners of the earth. Each person involved brings his own terminology making it difficult to interpret industry needs from one person to another. As our business becomes more global the need for a common language grows. Through explanations, charts, standards, product photos and links to other Web sites, CWS puts some common language at your fingertips.
