AP Rentals “Time Capsule” Exhibition Highlights
Recently on 12-13 October 2017, AP Rentals hosted a private two-day “Time Capsule” Exhibition at the Central Harbourfront.

Another highlight from the exhibition was the Power Assist Suit showcased by Panasonic. The Power Assist Suit is aimed for making life easier for people by supporting their spine and body in alignment when moving and picking up heavy objects. This new technology improves the well-being and safety of those who work with heavy objects, particularly in construction job sites.
