Drilling attachment
system
General Equipment
introduces the model 471 Dig-R-Tach hydraulically powered earth drilling
attachment system, which is designed for use with lower-auxiliary
hydraulic system flow rates found on compact loader backhoes,
mini-excavators and compact utility loaders. The 471 Dig-R-Tach system
enhances the versatility of compact loader backhoes by allowing them to
become practical and productive options for many hole-digging projects.
The system features a universal mounting bracket that readily conforms
to a wide variety of loader bucket configurations. Featuring an
industry-standard 2-inch hexagon auger drive connection, the 471
Dig-R-Tach is able to accommodate existing augers found in most
equipment fleets.

Lifting
Telescopic boom
Genie's new S-60HC
telescopic boom is designed to deliver the highest load capacities in
the industry. The closest competitive unit (called 'dual capacity')
offers 500 pounds unrestricted and 1,000 pounds restricted range of
motion. The 3-person platform on Genie's new S-60HC is rated for 750
pounds, 50-percent more capacity throughout the entire operating
envelope. It also supports platform loads up to 1,250 pounds --
25-percent more load capacity -- in the maximum capacity zone at 40
feet, 8 inches. The S-60HC features envelope control through sensors
that automatically limit the range of motion based on the load in the
platform for safe and productive operation.

Articulating boom
The HA 130 JRT 130-foot articulating boom from Haulotte Group is designed to use its
high articulation point of 58 feet, 3 inches, to negotiate around
obstacles, and to use the boom articulations design to come back down
without using the arm. The HA 130 JRT also features a maximum 63-foot
horizontal outreach; standard 4-wheel drive and steer; extending and
oscillating axles; and continuous outreach control. It also offers a
hydraulic differential lock and 15-inch ground clearance for improved
rough-terrain capability. Full proportional controls and simultaneous
boom functions improve functionality. Working area is improved via a
positive/negative movement articulated fly jib with 140-degree arc of
movement.

For Contractors
Roller tube finisher
The Allen Engineering roller
tube finisher utilizes a spinning tube constructed of 6-inch diameter
structural steel with a rotation speed of up to 250 rpm. The spinning
tube has a weight of 7 pounds per linear foot and can be handled by only
two operators. If more weight is needed, the tube can be filled with
water. Powered by either an 85-cc, 2-cycle engine power unit or an
11-hp, 4.5-gallon per minute hydraulic power unit, the roller tube
finisher can also be used in many other concrete-paving and flooring
applications.

Platform
The TX platform from Toro bolts
onto certain Dingo models to help decrease operator fatigue and increase
comfort. The platform pivots up and down to float with uneven terrain,
providing a stable and level platform. A rubber pad at its hinge point
reduces transmission of vibration to the user.

Single-disc grinder
Edco introduces its new,
innovative single-disc grinder. This unit features a new round shroud
that allows the user to grind tight against any vertical surface; has
large 10-inch wheels; and has a solid T-handle assembly that makes it
easy for the operator to control. The new lifting bail and side-mounted
handles also make it easier to load and unload at the jobsite. The new
25-foot power cord enables the operator to plug and grind, and the new
accessory toolbox tray will help keep grinder accessories organized.
