Silver Alloy Metal Industrial BackHoe Loader Mini Desk Clock
Get customers to count down the minutes until your next great event with this clock. The perfect item to give to employees and executives in the construction or transportation industries who have hit a milestone or done something worth celebrating. Show your appreciation and give them something to remember with this unique clock. Give someone the reward they deserve and commend all their hard work with our fabulous gift.
It's made of alloy material and comes in the shape of a Backhoe Loader. Keep things rolling smoothly. The Silver Alloy Metal Industrial BackHoe Loader Mini Desk Clock is cast in zinc alloy with the boom, the bucket and the cab all picked out in detail, and it has genuine weight in the hand, the kind of heft that says the name on it belongs to someone who moves serious ground. The clock face sits where the operator's window would be and runs on a Japan movement with the battery already included, so it starts keeping time the moment it is unwrapped and goes on doing a job every day it sits on a desk.
The engraving is what turns a handsome desk piece into a record of something. Two lines of up to twelve characters each are engraved in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999: a name and a year, a crew or truck number, a safety milestone, a project that came in on time, or a plain thank you that a hard hat can read across a trailer office. On a foreman's desk it reads as a trophy. On a client's shelf it is a quiet reminder of who broke ground with them.
It suits the heavy equipment operator, the project manager, the fleet supervisor, the site safety lead and the collector who has loved diggers since he was four. Give it at a retirement lunch, a years-of-service breakfast, a groundbreaking, a birthday or Christmas, and it will still be ticking on that desk years later.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give the crew something worth keeping.

Which one should I choose
Recognition gifts for the trades usually come down to three choices: something that hangs, something that sits, and something that actually does a job.
| Silver Alloy Metal Industrial BackHoe Loader Mini Desk Clock | Choose it when the award should look like the work itself and stay in daily use; the weighted zinc alloy loader is engraved with a name and a milestone and keeps time on a Japan movement. |
|---|---|
| A traditional engraved plaque or trophy | Choose it when the wording is long and formal, or when several paragraphs of citation have to fit; it will hang on a wall rather than sit on a desk. |
| An unengraved desk clock | Choose it only as everyday office equipment; with no name and no year it records nothing and reads as a supply rather than a recognition. |
For construction and transportation recognition, the backhoe loader clock wins on the desk: it says who earned it, and it earns its space by telling the time.
