For Contractors
Portable generators
Wacker's new line of premium generators offers dependable power when and where it's needed. The eight models range from 2,500 to 6,600 watts and are designed for excellent voltage regulation and superior motor starting ability, allowing operators the ability to start larger tools. The GP line offers a compact design, but a heavy-duty one-piece frame provides full protection. The generators are quiet thanks to a large muffler, and an auto idle control with time delay on the larger units automatically reduces the engine to a low speed, reducing fuel consumption, noise and wear on the connected electrical loads.

Hydraulic compactor attachments
Atlas Copco's HC 409 and HC 920 hydraulic compactor attachments are built for a variety of soil compaction projects as well as driving and extracting sheeting and posts. Accepting a maximum hydraulic flow of 20 gpm at 2,200 psi of pressure, the HC 409 delivers an 8,000-pound impulse force and produces 2,100 cycles per minute. To reduce problems associated with excessive hydraulic input, the plates come with a control valve designed to regulate the input flow and the amount of pressure traveling to the hydraulic motor.

Crack saw
General Equipment's CS8 random crack saw uses 8-inch diameter, dry cut-type diamond blades to produce smooth-sided cuts for proper crack-filling procedures. Power is supplied by an 11-hp Honda engine equipped with a Cyclone-type air filter system for protection against fine-grained dust contamination. An available propane engine conversion allows use in confined areas where gasoline exhaust fumes are not permissible.
