In addition to the access of stored data, it is possible to carry out comparisons between machines of the same group in the first page of the Guide Portal. The user has to inform group and capacity range of the machines to be compared and then select manufacturers and models he wants to compare. This tool was designed to give to the professional a quick access to the technical data needed to easily select the equipment that better fits his needs for each job. Data available in the Portal also includes information about manufacturers and dealers in all regions of the country.

Sobratema issued the first version of the Guide in 2007 with the purpose of gathering and organizing information of brands that work in Brazil. The guide is in its 8^th edition and contains technical data of the main equipment manufacturers. This tool is an instrument of technical reference for executives, engineers and professionals that deal with purchasing and operation of construction machines, as well as of support in decision-making processes and fleet management. It is also available in printed, tablet and smartphone versions.
