Earth-Moving
Trencher
The 1330 trencher from Ditch
Witch is a reliable, low-maintenance hydraulic drive trencher that
features a reversible digging chain for dislodging rocks or spoils
caught in the chain, the company says. The 1330 is designed for
landscaping, irrigation, utility contractors, or any trenching
application that requires an easy-to-use pedestrian trencher. The
machine is equipped with a 13-gross-hp Honda GX390 gasoline engine and
can trench to depths of 36 inches with trench widths to 6 inches. At 81
inches long and 34 inches wide, the compact size of the machine allows
it to fit through a standard yard gate and work in confined areas.

dozers can be shipped from the factory with hardware, software and
wiring to support the grade control system of the customer's choice.
These two machines are able to operate software from aftermarket grade
control systems, offering "plug and play" convenience -- installations
are clean, quick, reliable and less costly.

Letter to the Editor
Letter from Genie
Dear RER,
I would like to point out an error in a recent RER E-Newsletter.
In the February 22nd edition there was a column on the Skyjack SJ 6832
RT. The column states that the SJ-6832 is the only compact RT that is
drivable at full height with the rollout deck fully extended.
Actually, Genie makes a GS-3268RT model, and has for several years, that
is capable of having the deck fully extended at any height. Thank you
for informing your readers and for continuing to publish RER in
support of our industry.
Sincerely,
Eric Ludwig

For Contractors
Powder coat paint
Landoll announces another
addition to its already manufacturing facility. The new addition is
comprised of 75,000 square feet which features a prep booth, two powder
coat paint booths 60 feet long, and a large natural gas powered baking
oven that can accommodate three large trailer frames. The benefits of
powder coat include a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive
finish. The result is a smooth, consistent durable exterior finish,
which is more resistant to the salt and chemicals used on winter roads.
Six standard colors are available with options for special color
requests. The new facility allows Landoll to offer standard feature of
powder coat paint on all trailers it manufactures.

Track system
Loegering announces its
newest innovation in traction, the QTS-Quad track system. QTS is a set
of four rubber-track undercarriages that bolt directly to the standard
hubs of most telescopic boom lifts. The system can be added onto a
machine by unbolting the tires, installing a Loegering wheel spacer with
anti-rotate mounts, and finally bolting on the QTS. These undercarriages
are constructed out of high-grade steel and feature fully sealed
greaseless bearings for minimum maintenance. In addition, the QTS
features an easy grease tensioning system for fast, reliable track
adjustment. QTS offers 3,236 square inches of track to the ground,
offering floatation in soft soil conditions, increasing versatility and
extending the wet-work season. These track systems eliminate flat-tire
downtime and the costly expense of fluid-filled tire repair. QTS also
minimizes rutting in turf applications, improves traction in sandy soils
and improves safety by minimizing "machine-bounce" both around the
jobsite and at travel speeds.
