Construction site managers know the difficulties of orchestrating all the moving parts of a project to make it successful — that’s why many use walkie talkies to communicate. Onsite two-way business radios are a great solution to managing operations. They offer instant communication between supervisors and their employees, which creates a more efficient and productive work environment. Being able to consistently and seamlessly communicate with everyone on site can reduce wasted time and save companies money. Listed here are a handful of walkie talkies that we believe work well on a construction site.
The radios listed here are both low and high powered, UHF, robust and durable radios for construction. If you’re working outside on a smaller job site, we recommend going with a 2 watt radio — either the Motorola RMU2040 or Kenwood NX-P1302AUK. If you want more clear and consistent coverage on a larger job site, we would recommend a 4 or 5 watt radio — like the Motorola CP100D, or the Kenwood NXP1300AUK. Although not a name brand, Blackbox makes a fantastic product nearly on the level of Motorola and Kenwood, they are just much less expensive.
Lastly, for better audio quality and a little extra range we would recommend going with something digital like the Kenwood NX-P1300NUK, the Motorola R2, or the Motorola CP100D Digital.
