Multiquip's DLW-300ES welder/generator was honored as one of the construction industry's elite products twice in 2006.

The welder was selected as a winner of Construction Equipment magazine's Top 100 Award and it will appear in the publication's December issue.
 
The Top 100 Products Award program was "conceived to call special attention to the most significant new products announced each year," according to Rod Sutton, Construction Equipment's editor in chief.

Sutton added the awards emphasize innovations, highlighting manufacturers who are investing in research and development. This investment pays off for equipment users in the form of greater productivity, efficiencies and safety, he noted.
 
Approximately 700 product introductions were evaluated by Construction Equipment editors, drawing upon input from readers as well as the editors' individual experience with equipment technology and the marketplace.
 
The 10,000-watt DLW-300ES welder/generator is an efficient, midsize 300-amp welder and 10kW generator with a 100 percent duty cycle at 280 amps. It's one of the most fuel-efficient models on the market, delivering premium productivity at half the rpms while using half the fuel of its predecessor model. The DLW-300ES operates at idle up to 160 amps and uses only 0.39 gallons of fuel per hour at 120 amps and only 1.1 gph at full load.

In addition to significantly lowering fuel costs, the welder's arc force dial allows operators to fine tune the arc to the desired quality while lower noise levels make operating the welder more comfortable.

Construction Equipment is one of world's premiere industry publications. It is published by Reed Business Information with a monthly circulation of more than 77,000 worldwide.

In July, the DLW-300ES was also one of the select few products to be named a Hot Product Award winner by Modern Steel Construction magazine.
