I definitely consider myself an internet veteran being online since 1994. But while I always think I’ve seen just about everything the web can offer, every now and then I discover something new that just makes me wonder what is bigger – our universe or the internet. The truth is that there is no reason for these things to surprise me, it’s just that I find it fascinating to find certain things that you wouldn’t typically figure you would find online. Just yesterday I mentioned a site which allows you to order eyeglasses online and today I’d like to show you a site from the total other side of the spectrum.
Today I came across Al Asher & Sons which actually deals in stuff like bucket trucks, digger derricks, stinger cranes, cable pulling and transport trailers, crew trucks, and other heavy specialized equipment. Definitely not your typical online merchandise. But I guess that all depends on what industry you are in. I guess for someone who deals with heavy trucks finds it quite natural to find pre-owned bucket trucks or heavy equipment rentals online but for someone like me it’s just fascinating. The site provides extensive information about each product, check out their Hogg Davis Trailers page for instance to see the type of stats and inventory information the site offers.
