AED Green Book
The 15th Edition of Compilation of Rental Rates for Construction Equipment, published by the Associated Equipment Distributors on Nov. 1st, has been sent to each MCAA Chapter office. Climaxing a nation wide survey this summer of machinery rental charges, and after weeks of tabulating, re-design and printing preparations, the 1963-64 compilation is bigger, better and more convenient to use than any previous edition.
Completely sectionalized and tabbed, the new "Green Book" contains average rental rates for more than 2,000 types and sizes of construction equipment, ranging from hand tools to large earthmovers.
Rental rates reflect the national average of charges reported in the survey of some 800 AED member firms in every part of the country. Check your local MCAA Chapter and examine this valuable new reference manual.
