Two local businesses would like your vote in the latest edition of the Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin Contest orchestrated by the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce. Sturgeon Bay’s Marine Travelift and Luxemburg’s SAS Forks each have entries in the first round of voting, which began on Monday.

The SAS Extreme Auto Processor can be attached to medium-sized excavators making it easier to recover valuable materials from scrap car bodies like radiators, transmissions, and more.

Marine Travelift’s variable-width mobile boat hoists give operators nine feet of width variability and can expand and retract under a full load in 60 seconds.

Voting began on Monday for the approximately 100 nominees and will continue through September 26th. After three rounds of bracket voting, the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce will announce the winner on October 19th.

Last year, the Bay Shipbuilding-produced Mark W. Barker advanced to the Top 16. You can click on the links above to vote on your favorite, locally-produced Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin and see some of the other nominees.
