Compact Equipment is the industry-leading trade publication for the small, tool-carrying construction machinery markets. Our cutting-edge editorial content is enjoyed on multiple media channels — print, web, email, webinars, social media, seminars and beyond. Our readers are professionals in the construction and landscape industries — contractors, machine operators, equipment owners, fleet managers, rental houses, municipalities and even the manufacturers themselves.

Our editorial focuses on machine operation, analysis and upkeep for attachment-takers like skid steers, compact excavators, utility tractors, wheel loaders, compact telehandlers and beyond. We also focus on attachments and implements, OEM systems (from engines to tires), vocational trucks, hand tools and business issues that range from sector analysis and

management advice to telematics and grade control systems.

Compact Equipment offers marketers the industry’s best opportunity to reach owners and operators of small, attachment-wielding construction equipment. The fastest growing segment of construction machinery! Compact Equipment’s print magazine, website and e-newsletter feature top-tier technical content that tradesmen and women can find nowhere else, influencing the buying decisions of equipment purchasers in the construction and landscape markets. Rest assured, we know our stuff, because we actually get out in the field and learn about it.

Bleed - 1/8” on each side: Printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet and will be trimmed off. It ensures that your ad will seemlessly blend to the edge of the page with no white margin.

Page Edge (Trim) - 8” X 10 1/2”

Safety - 1/4” in from trim*: This is the area that is far enough away from the edge of the page that no important logos or text will be cut off during the printing process. You should make sure all important elements in your ad are within this zone.

*Allow a safety of 3/8” for borders
