Jobsites can be especially noisy workplaces, making communication difficult and impacting productivity and safety. So how can fleets address jobsite noise? The EnPak® A60 offers significantly lower noise levels than competitive machines — fully loaded, the EnPak® A60 produces 69.1 dBs vs. a competitive machine that produces 82.1 dBs. That more-than 10 dBs difference equals a 10-times jump in loudness.
