Backhoes
Woods Equipment introduces
the Groundbreaker-X BH70-X and BH80-X (pictured) backhoe models, which
are designed for commercial contractors and homeowners. The
Groundbreaker-X easily attaches to skid steers and 18 to 45-hp compact
tractors with either a 3-point or 4-point hitch. Its excavator-style
curved boom and large dipper cylinders offer up to 3,780 pounds of
digging force. A 180-degree swing arc and 180-degree bucket rotation
enable the backhoes to maneuver in and around difficult obstacles.

Skid-steer loaders
Gehl's line of skid-steer loaders
range from the compact Model 3640E with a rated operating load of 1,175
pounds to the top-of-line Model 6640E with a rated operating load of
2,900 pounds (when equipped with the optional counterweights). The new
E-Series skid loaders are designed with an optimized combination of
performance, power, speed and operator comfort. The E-Series models are
engineered to provide the operating precision and maneuverability
operators want in compact loaders, along with high horsepower, superior
hydraulic power, increased load capacities, and spacious, quiet operator
compartments.

Loader controls
With Bobcat's selectable
joystick controls, now available on the Bobcat S130 and T140 loaders,
operators can have drive and hydraulic controls at their hands and
receive the advantages of having speed and horsepower management. The
selectable joystick control option allows operators to choose between
ISO or conventional skid-steer H control patterns so that they can
choose the driving style they prefer.

For Contractors
Concrete vibrator
Oztec introduces a new version
of its model BP-50 backpack concrete vibrator, the BP-50a. This version
is equipped with a totally enclosed rotary throttle that allows the
operator to comfortably control the engine while preventing wet concrete
from entering and clogging the throttle mechanism. A kill switch is
conveniently located on the same handle. The patent-pending rotary
throttle has been specifically designed and engineered to eliminate the
operator's variable setting of the engine speed. This feature is
designed to ensure that the unit will consistently produce the proper
vibrations per minute resulting in optimum concrete consolidation.

Concrete system
The C.U.B.E., or Cart-Away
Universal Batching Equipment, is designed to allow users to control most
aspects of jobsite ready-mix production. With a 1 1/2-yard mixing
capacity, the C.U.B.E. can produce 6 to 8 yards of concrete per hour.
The loading, mixing and dispensing of the concrete materials are all
completed inside the box, reducing the amount of equipment at the
jobsite. The C.U.B.E. reduces the high cost of short-load fees and
employee downtime associated with using a ready-mix truck. It is
designed for construction applications where ready-mix is needed for
several projects over an extended period of time.

Portable heater
The IMAC 2000S is Topp Portable
Air's newest addition to its line of portable temporary industrial
heaters. The indirect-fired heater provides clean, dry heat distribution
for up to 587,000 Btu/hour. Equipped with a high-efficiency heat
exchanger, a weather-resistant and lockable casing, and a high-pressure
fan, the IMAC 2000S is designed for jobs that require a large heat
throw. Featuring a rugged design, the heater is suited for any
environment, even harsh industrial sites, and can be used for both
indoor and outdoor applications. The heater can be used for curing
concrete as well as thawing ground in enclosed structures.

Generators
Ingersoll Rand introduces the
PowerSource G90 to G570 mobile generators, which range from 94 to 570
kVA. All PowerSource models have controls and connection points grouped
at the rear of the unit in an ergonomically designed power pedestal to
maximize operator convenience and safety.
"The entire range has been designed to be rugged and reliable, yet
quiet, so applications from construction to events to emergency
management are suited to PowerSource generators," says Todd Howe,
generator product marketing manager for Ingersoll Rand.

Concrete vibrators
The Dynapac Racoon flex-shaft
concrete vibrators are a complete vibration system designed to match any
job with interchangeable flexible shafts and poker heads. The
quick-connection device between the drive unit and the flexible shaft
makes it easy and quick for the operator to change the shaft. The 2-hp
electric drive unit is available in 230- or 115-volt single-phase
current. It is combinable with four poker heads with a diameter range of
1 1/8 inch to 2 3/8 inch, and five flexible shafts from 3 1/4 feet to 13
feet.

Plate compactor
The Bomag BP8/34
single-direction plate compactor features a 119-pound operating weight
and 13.4-inch plate width, making it maneuverable in confined spaces.
The plate's adjustable steering handle and curved handle design allow
for ease of transport without removing components. Powered by a 4-hp
Honda GX120 gasoline engine, the BP8/34 offers a frequency of 5,400
vibrations per minute and 1,800 pounds of centrifugal force.

For Homeowners/Light Contractors
Water jetter
The Ridge Tool Co. Model
KJ-1750 Ridgid water jetter is designed to propel a highly flexible hose
through 1 1/4- to 4-inch drain lines, blasting through sludge, soap and
grease blockages. As the operator pulls the hose back, it scrubs the
line, flushing away debris and restoring drain lines to their
free-flowing capacity. The unit features two levels of pulse, a working
pressure of 1,750 psi and a flow of 1.4 gpm.
