Chicago Pneumatic sales representatives received hands-on training experience with compaction equipment at the company’s recent training event at its North American distribution facility in Charlotte, N.C. The training had an in-depth focus on the features and benefits of the entire Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment line. Twenty-five representatives participated in the training, taking part in hands-on educational sessions on CP’s construction equipment. Among the product lines reviewed at the event were light compaction (rammers and plate compactors), rig-mounted hydraulic breakers (CP’s RX line), handheld pneumatic and hydraulic construction tools (rivet busters, breakers and chipping hammers), and portable energy (generators, compressors and light towers).

"The hands-on approach to our sales training experience really helps our representatives learn about the equipment in an up-close and personal way," said John Vogel, executive vice president. "There’s no better way to educate a group of folks than having them get out there in the field and try it."

In addition to the hands-on portion of the training, Chicago Pneumatic also holds classroom-based training modules, addressing a variety of topics including financing, service, support and representative development.

CP offers a wide range of pneumatic, hydraulic and petrol-driven equipment, portable compressors and generators, light towers, rig-mounted attachments, and compaction equipment for the construction and demolition industries.
