Airtow1
AIRTOW TRAILERS

More than 18 years ago, Al Behr, inventor of the drop-deck trailer and founder of Airtow Trailers, recognized a growing need for a safer way for his customers to load and unload light and heavy-duty equipment from a trailer. Today, his revolutionary products are shaping the trailer industry.
“We didn’t just set out to make the best ground-level loading trailer on the market. We set out to exceed the expectations of our customers and, in doing so, ended up with the most innovative, durable, and easy-to-use drop-deck trailer available,” says Travis Townsend, sales and marketing manager.
The Airtow Trailer is a heavy-duty, ground-level loading trailer that’s perfect for driving on low-clearance equipment, such as scissor lifts, forklifts, and pavement sweepers. That means you can load quicker and safer with one-man operation in any weather condition—sun, rain, snow, or ice—conditions where trailers with dangerous ramps or difficult tilt beds and poor traction would be too risky to use.
What’s more, Airtow is the only trailer of its kind that has advance engineered air suspension. This system automatically senses and adjusts for the weight you’re carrying and it adjusts for any differences in weight from one side to the other, always keeping the trailer level. The result is an extremely smooth ride, not only protecting the cargo, but also reducing the wear and tear on the tow vehicle.
Townsend concludes, “Our success is based on three simple goals: Make it easy to use, make it safe, and make it last a long time. At the end of the day, that’s what matters when you’re shelling out hard-earned money for a piece of equipment.”
Rock Line Products is proving once again to be the industry leader with its newest, most innovative product to date. This top-secret trailer will be unveiled in January 2015. Stay tuned!

ALLIED CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS, LLC

It’s not about products. It’s about products that save time, money, and energy, and deliver on your investment.
Seventy years ago, the world was at war, and the United States was in a serious conservation mode, only it wasn’t called “green” then. Steel, along with everything else, was in short supply when H. S. Meshorer, founder of Amalgamated Steel in Cleveland, Ohio, introduced Grip-Lug®, an innovative technique to rebuild worn crawler tracks, which extended the life of the track. Regrousing helped conserve steel by eliminating the need to replace track shoes. Grip-Lug, the first product developed by Amalgamated, is still sold today.
Allied was born with a mindset: find solutions that solve problems. Allied grew from its original five employees and seven accounts into an international manufacturer of hydraulically actuated construction tools and attachments.
Allied1
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS
Since Grip-Lug, there has been a continuous string of innovative products. In 1965, it was Ho-Pac®, the first backhoe-mounted vibratory compactor/driver. In 1966, the Ho-Ram 6000 became the first commercially successful air hammer. In 1968, combining hydraulics and impact technology, the engineers at Allied introduced the Hy-Ram®, the first successful backhoe-mounted hydraulic impact hammer. Since the original Hy-Ram, Allied has introduced more than 50 models. Today, combined with the Rammer brand hydraulic hammers, Allied has the broadest line of breakers in the market.
In 1971, it was a recognized fact that the industry had neglected to provide users a dependable pedestal boom, so Allied designed and engineered a product that not only filled the need but also set the standard.
It was also in 1971 that Allied saw the need for “trenchless excavating” and started marketing its ground piercing tool, the Hole-Hog®.
It was in August 2003 that Allied Construction Products and Sandvik Tamrock Corp. announced that they would combine their demolition attachments business in the NAFTA marketplace. The combined company sells its breakers and other construction products under the Rammer and Allied brand names.
Under its current president and CEO, Ed Turner, who assumed the leadership position in March 2010, Allied is more ready to meet the changing market challenges than it has ever been. “In order to achieve our goals,” Turner says, “we must think globally and act locally. We do have great products, and have had for many years, but more importantly, we have great people. Sales sell the first one, but product and aftermarket support sells the rest.”
Allied2
STRONG DISTRIBUTOR NETWORK
Turner says, “We now have a new generation of hammers that are environmentally friendly.” Allied reaches its markets through more than 200 distributors and an aggressive, informed sales force of district managers. The strong relationship with our distributors is built on mutual confidence, which is Allied’s major success.
Allied’s distributors, because of the communication and support, get to the heart of customer service. With our distributor organization, we give our customers local sales and service support. The most important thing to us is maintaining customer uptime. We do this with a top-notch (high performance) sales team. Distributors who have been with Allied for 20 to 30 years are the real testament to our successful distributor network.
Allied’s oldest distributor, Highway Equipment Company, has been with Allied for 28 years. According to Thom Reynolds, president, Allied’s product mix puts them on the leading edge. The semi-annual distributor trips help solidify Allied’s distributor relationships. “When you associate for a week or so with the management and sales force of Allied,” says Reynolds, “you become closer. The business activities become more human than ones conducted using cell phones and email. You know them better and you develop a trust.”
COMMITMENT TO THE INDUSTRY
Allied, which began as a small steel business, has evolved into a leading manufacturer of attachments and other safety-enhancing, labor-saving equipment. The fact that Allied celebrated its 70th anniversary demonstrates its commitment to the construction market. Allied provides quality products through a top-notch distributor network. The end result of Allied’s dedication is successful, knowledgeable distributors who serve their end-users’ needs as well. When teamed up with Allied, everyone wins. ■

ASPHALT SHINGLE GRINDING SERVICE, LLC

Asphalt Shingle Grinding Service, LLC (ASGS) is dedicated to recycling asphalt shingles (RAS). Recycled asphalt shingles are becoming a valued commodity in the recycling community, as well as in the asphalt industry. Every year, 11 million tons of waste shingles are produced and, for the most part, disposed of in traditional landfills. Since asphalt is 100 percent recyclable, this is an unnecessary waste of resources. As either post
Asphalt
consumer (tear-off) or manufactures waste (MW), RAS can be used to replace or amend the “recipe” asphalt producers use in their production of hot-mix asphalt. Over the last 2 decades, Asphalt Shingle Grinding Service, LLC has become a leader in the market and a recognized innovator. In the last 5 years alone, ASGS has diverted over 1 million tons of shingles from landfills to highways. ■

Arctic1
ARCTIC SNOW & ICE PRODUCTS

Randy Strait didn’t set out to build snow pushers. In 1978, he was just a guy with a beat up truck and a makeshift plow, determined to keep his budding snow removal company profitable. But he soon realized if Arctic Snow & Ice Control was ever going to reach his vision for service and success, he needed a competitive edge that would not only increase revenue, but also would reduce his overall expenses.
He took everything he knew about conventional snowplows, and their shortcomings, and designed his own pusher. One-piece moldboards were out. Rigid cutting edges were gone. And static side panels became a thing of the past. An innovative concept in pusher design, Randy’s pushers were comprised of smaller, individual moldboard sections equipped with trip edges and mechanical side panels. Complete with steel cutting edges and a patented hitch system, he achieved his competitive edge and a whole lot more.
Arctic2
Because the pusher was designed specifically to help build his own snow-removal business, it wasn’t until competitive snow removal contractors approached him that he even thought about manufacturing the pushers for sale. Contractor-developed and contractor-owned, Sectional Sno-Pusher™ was the first of its kind on the market and continues to lead the industry in value, performance, and innovation.
Time after time and lot after lot, no other plow clears like the Sectional Sno-Pusher™ from Arctic. Our unique sectional design allows the plow to follow the contour of the surface grade, clearing down to pavement on the first pass. And the innovative features of the plow protect the lot, the equipment, and your operator. See what sets Arctic’s Sectional Sno-Pusher™ apart. ■

CARNIE CAP

The Carnie Cap™ impalement protection system allows you to use only two or three rebar caps per each 8-foot section, and holds 2×4 or 2×6 lumber in place above the protruding rebar for excellent impalement protection. The system works well because at impact, the rebar is absorbed directly into the lumber rather than deflected off to the side where impalement can still occur.
Carnie
Carnie Caps can be used in horizontal, vertical, and incline applications. The caps are fast and easy to use. Due to their innovative design, the caps rarely fall off, saving additional time and labor costs.
Carnie Cap now carries other USA-made concrete products, such as rebar supports, mesh supports, double tee accessories, coil protectors, safety stanchion holders, and stanchions, all at competitive prices. ■

CompanyWrench1

COMPANY WRENCH

Company Wrench was founded in 1999 when Brad Hutchinson (owner) started a truck, trailer, and equipment shop with a 24-hour wrecking and recovery service. The unique name, Company Wrench, found its origins during this phase and was born from conversations with stranded truck operators asking for mechanical assistance: “Can you send over your company wrench?” (slang for in-house mechanic)
Today, Company Wrench is a heavy equipment dealer specializing in rental, sales, parts, and service for the construction, demolition, scrap and recycling, and mining industries. Company Wrench has a wide selection of heavy equipment including: Kobelco excavators; Liugong wheel loaders, excavators, rollers; Laymor sweepers; Sany excavators; Gehl skid steers, track loaders, mini excavators, and articulated loaders; Dressta dozers; Fuchs material handlers; and Screen Machine crushers and screeners. They also have a huge attachment inventory including: LaBounty shears, grapples, processors, and pulverizers; Stanley hammers; Indeco hammers; Fuchs orange peel grapples; Anvil orange peel grapples, clam shell buckets; and Winkle magnets.
Company Wrench not only offers the lease, sale, and rental of various attachments and equipment, they also work with customers to implement new ideas to make the job more profitable and go more smoothly. These ideas come from C.W. Machine Worx, Company Wrench’s very own manufacturing branch. Their engineering and fabrication department has the experience, the latest in CAD software, and a 15,000-square-foot fabrication shop to provide the best conversion services and most innovative product designs in the heavy equipment industry. Some of their innovations include custom-built High Reach machines that reach up to 95 feet, custom Long Reach machines, Dual Pin Booms-for extended reach, and patented or patent-pending items like the 2nd member hammer bracket, the CP100 Magnet Combo, and the HAWC and NEW Mini HAWC dust suppression machine.
CompanyWrench2
HIGH-PRESSURE AIR WATER CANNON
The HAWC, or High-pressure Air Water Cannon, was designed and patented to provide large volumes of properly-sized mist droplets, and to eject mist so as to cover very large areas or serve very large volumes, such as those presented in demolition operation wherein larger buildings are brought down and eject large volumes of particulate matter as they fall. In addition, it was designed to be able to direct and redirect misting fluids toward different areas or through different volumes with the option of varying heights at any given jobsite. The design also provides automatic and/or reciprocating sweep angles in the misting output. This reduces labor in applications where otherwise an operator would have to be on station to constantly vary the aim of the mist output. Another benefit to the design is the ability to vary the overall mist output and output throw distance depending upon the given application.
CP100 MAGNET COMBO
The patented CP100 Magnet Combo is another unique attachment designed by C.W. Machine Worx that can crush concrete and sort rebar at the same time. See how this attachment can save time and money by watching the video located on Company Wrench’s website.
2ND MEMBER HAMMER MACHINE
The new 2nd member hammer machine is a breakthrough in engineering and design in the world of heavy equipment. This newly engineered 2nd Member Hammer Bracket setup has the ability to mount a 16,000 lb/ft hammer on a 108,000 lb. machine, instead of using the same hammer on a 193,000 lb. machine. Renting this machine can save big money on fuel and transportation costs by using a smaller machine to run a larger attachment. There is also an action packed video of the 2nd member hammer machine at a demolition site on our website.
Company Wrench’s success was built and is maintained by providing each of our customers our “Cutting Edge Customer Service.” Although the days of 24-hour wrecking are far from view, 24-hour customer service has never left our minds. Company Wrench is more than a company name, it’s an attitude.

EVANS COOLING SYSTEMS

EVANS HEAVY DUTY WATERLESS COOLANT BATTLES THE HEAT AND STOPS OVERHEATING WATERLESS COOLANT

Diesel engines all produce heat, and yet heat is the enemy of your engine. It’s the job of the cooling system to move heat away from the engine into the ambient air and keep metal temperatures under control. Water has been used for more than 100 years because it does the best job of transferring heat away from an engine.
So why go waterless in your coolant? Most coolants contain 50 percent water, but water has its limitations and causes corrosion and electrolysis.
Evans Waterless Coolant removes those limitations and provides efficient cooling to maintain continual productivity, even at temperatures well above the boiling point of water.
Water’s low boiling point allows the formation of vapor, and when vapor pockets form between the liquid and the metal, hotspots and overheating result. Water’s low boiling point of 212°F is, in essence, the temperature at which engine failure begins. Maintaining constant liquid to metal contact is critical for efficient engine cooling.
Evans’ high boiling point of 375°F is more than 100 degrees higher than the boiling point of water-based coolant. With the boiling point barrier lifted, Evans maintains its liquid state and allows continual operation in extreme conditions.
If heat is not controlled, the engine risks detonation and lack of performance, resulting in loss of production. With no vapor formation, Evans operates at a much lower, safer pressure. There’ll be no gusher of coolant spraying out, and frequent topping off is not necessary. Evans protects against cold weather too — from minus 40°F to 375°F.
If the heat is not adequately controlled, critical components, such as water pumps, valves, and cylinder heads, suffer extreme damage. Evans avoids corrosion, electrolysis, and protects against cylinder liner cavitation erosion. Eliminating these problems improves durability and prolongs engine life. Evans will last the life of your engine and never needs changing. ■

GPS INSIGHT

GPS Insight provides fleet and asset tracking software for construction businesses. The businesses that use fleet tracking see a significant reduction in operating costs and risk, and increases in revenue.
Fleet tracking solutions, like GPS Insight, are much more than just dots on a map—they are vehicle and asset location intelligence platforms.
GPS1
ABOUT GPS INSIGHT
In 2004, Rob Donat, founder and CEO of GPS Insight, was a software consultant in Phoenix, Arizona. He was approached by a local aggregates hauling company interested in finding a fleet tracking software to implement into their business operations. Rob was tasked with helping them select a solution that could meet all their needs.
After doing extensive research into the telematics space, Rob identified that there was a gap in the market. When Rob compared fleet tracking solutions, he discovered that none would fit all of his client’s needs without having to pay for extensive customizations. Rob realized that he could create a customizable fleet tracking software that would fit the needs of many different businesses across the fleet industry. From that idea, the GPS Insight Fleet & Asset Tracking Solution was created. GPS Insight’s fleet and asset tracking solution was introduced to the marketplace in 2005 and has since become a powerful player in the telematics space.
At GPS Insight, we strive to keep our industry leading software on the cutting edge by adding new features and enhancing our existing functionality. Software features include a customizable dashboard interface to track all your vehicles and assets in real time, custom alerts and reports, driver messaging, optimized routing, engine diagnostics, and more. Even with significant growth, innovation and client success remain our main focus.
GPS2
IMPROVE THE WAY YOU MANAGE YOUR CONSTRUCTION FLEET
There are many ways that construction businesses can benefit from fleet tracking software. If your construction fleet is made up of light duty pickup trucks, or you have a mixed fleet with many types of vehicles and equipment, the GPS Insight Fleet & Asset Tracking Solution will improve the way you manage your fleet.
How construction companies benefit from tracking their fleet with GPS tracking:

  • Reduce fuel costs by eliminating excessive idle time, unauthorized usage, and fuel card fraud. Set up GPS alerts and reports to stay on top of the metrics that could be adding unnecessary expenses to your fleet operations.
  • Dispatch more efficiently by locating your trucks quickly through powerful mapping capabilities. Advanced dispatching allows you to choose the best and closest vehicle or equipment so you send the best resource for the job every time.
  • Extend the lifecycle of trucks and equipment by utilizing the maintenance module within the GPS Insight platform. Receive automated service reminders to avoid replacing vehicles and equipment sooner that necessary.
  • Protect your fleet against theft and recover stolen property faster. Be alerted if any vehicle or asset in your fleet is moving when or where it shouldn’t be and report its current location to authorities. ■

HEADWATERS RESOURCES

From ready-mixed concrete construction and precast concrete fabrication to engineered structural fills and soil stabilization technologies, Headwaters Resources supplies materials that make building products perform better.
Power plants fueled by coal produce about half of the electricity consumed in the United States today. In addition to electricity, these plants produce materials like fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and FGD products that can be used as ingredients for improving the performance of a wide variety of products. Fly ash, for example, improves concrete performance by making it stronger, more durable, and more resistant to chemical attack. It even makes concrete mixes more workable by improving flowability, reducing water demand, and in some cases, reducing the amount of sand needed in the mix.
Fly ash use also creates significant benefits for our environment. Fly ash use conserves natural resources and avoids landfill disposal of ash products. By making concrete more durable, lifecycle costs of roads and structures are reduced. Furthermore, fly ash use partially displaces production of other concrete ingredients, resulting in significant energy savings. When fly ash is used to replace cement, it reduces the need for cement production—a highly energy-intensive process that also creates significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions.
Headwaters Resources is America’s largest manager and marketer of coal combustion byproducts, including fly ash and bottom ash. With fly ash sources located across the nation, Headwaters Resources operates an extensive network of terminals and transportation equipment, all designed to ensure concrete producers and other clients receive quality material when they need it. In addition to unparalleled customer service, Headwaters Resources maintains its own testing and research facility to assist in solving challenges faced by individual customers and to investigate new uses for coal ash byproducts. Headwaters is the industry leader in driving higher utilization of coal combustion byproducts in traditional applications, such as concrete, soil stabilization, and structural fills, and is a pioneer in expanding utilization in building products, such as concrete block, brick, tile, mortar, and stucco. ■

HITEK EQUIPMENT, INC.

Hitek Equipment, Inc. has been in business since December 1990, and in our 24 years, we have always specialized in bringing unique products to the North American market. Primarily working in the corrugated box industry, we have also brought in equipment for recycling, waste water treatment, and now construction. All our equipment is simple to use, low in maintenance, and parts and service come directly from our Kenosha, Wisconsin-based facility.
Our newest machine is the Malavasi Pavijet. The Pavijet is a mini paver that connects to your skid loader or mini excavator. The Pavijet is unique because of its flexibility and performance. The Pavijet Mini Pavers were developed to fill a niche between stand behind paving machines and the use of spreaders, drag boxes, or hand-spread asphalt. The Mini Pavers are simple to operate, maintain, and transport. They offer savings on both labor and material, while providing a high-quality finish.
Hitek1
Depending on the model, the Pavijet connects to a skid loader or mini excavator. The forward driving MG7 Mini Paver has a retractable screed that is heated and vibrates. The hopper can hold up to 3.5 tons of material and the machine can pave at a speeds up to 82 feet/minute. All functions are hydraulic, and because of the retractable screed, the machine is very versatile and able to avoid obstacles that may be in the way. Besides laying hot and cold asphalt, the Pavijet can also spread sand, gravel, crushed stones, and other materials.
The MG6 Mini Paver is reverse driving and useful for sidewalks, paths, trails, and driveways, or for applications where there isn’t space to move forward. The compact size of both models makes it possible to load a skid steer, Mini Paver, planer, and compactor onto a single trailer.
In addition to the Mini Pavers, Hitek Equipment is proud to offer two models of bitumen sprayers: the SprayCat, which is skid-mounted, and a truck-mounted version. ■

KODI KLIP

Why Tie When You Can Klip

Kodi Klip Corporation began as an idea in the mind of Jon Kodi, who envisioned a rebar connecting system revolutionizing the industry. Mr. Kodi had 30+ years of construction experience and wanted a method that would improve the traditional way of wire tying rebar. His idea of a plastic clip replacing tie wire became the invention known as “The Kodi Klip System.”
Kodi
Kodi Klips are attached with a pneumatic tool that is driven onto and grips the rebar together. This system is faster, safer, and less fatiguing than any system used in the industry. Its four-point connection makes for a more stable mat, cage, or footing. The usage of this tool eliminates cuts and wrist fatigue common with wire tie, and burns and flash injuries from welding.
The use of the “Kodi Klip System” is faster, safer, and makes a stronger connection. KODI KLIP saves time, and you can take that to the bank. ■

WCDE-4-8KW-4X300W-LED

LARSON ELECTRONICS

When setting up a construction site, choosing the correct lighting is crucial to ensure a safe, well-lit work space. Larson Electronics’ lights and lighting equipment are built to withstand the rigors of harsh outdoor work environments and provide maximum lighting.
We design for rough handling and abuse that would cause ordinary work lights to fail prematurely and use powerful LEDs for a bright work environment, so you can get the job done even when there is not enough natural light.
We offer a wide variety of heavy-duty lighting options, including telescoping light towers with generators, light masts on trailers, portable lighting, task lights, magnetic lights, solar powered light towers, quad-pods, and power distribution systems. Many of which can be customized to fit the customer’s specific needs.
LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
Large-scale lighting includes the WCDE-4-8KW-4X300W-LED that is a mobile light tower powered by a water-cooled diesel engine. This unit will power four 300 watt LED light heads continuously without refueling for 60 hours. The four light heads produce a combined 118,320 lumens capable of illuminating 4 to 6 acres and a telescoping light mast allows for 30 feet of elevation. This self-contained towable light tower package is ideal for emergency services, large scale event illumination, construction, mining, industrial operations, and anywhere an extended operation capable lighting solution is needed.
For smaller scale, easily portable lighting, our EPLCD-48-2L-LED is a dolly cart style LED light fixture. This light can be wheeled where needed and either kept in the upright position or lay it flat then pushed underneath the target for exceptional lighting coverage. This fixture comes equipped with two of our specially designed LED T-series bulbs that not only produce brighter light than standard T8 fixtures, but also has over twice the service life. Each 28 watt lamp produces 3,360 lumens for a combined 6,720 lumen total light output.
Larson2
EPLCD-48-2L-LED
POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
Power distribution from Larson Electronics converts one type of voltage to another type of voltage, while enabling operators to power a variety of devices from multiple receptacles. We offer several pre-configured substations. Many times, however, these temporary power distribution substations are built to the customer’s specifications.
One of our most popular power distribution systems is the MGL7-480-2X120V which transforms 480V 3 phase to single phase 120V AC and 240V AC 60Hz. This power distribution system provides operators with the ability to safely tap into and distribute 480V AC power from sources like generators and direct power grid. It’s on a dolly cart-style systems, so operators can tip it back, roll it where needed and connect primary power.
LED LIGHTING
While we do continue to support our line of metal halide lighting, most of our focus is on LED lighting. The solid state design, cool running operation, and extremely long operation life are just some of the many beneficial attributes provided by LEDs. They offer low power requirements and high durability, making LEDs a superior lighting solution for demanding applications where power and reliability is critical.
CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS AVAILABLE
At Larson Electronics, we like the challenge of creating new lighting configurations. With 40-plus years of manufacturing experience, Larson Electronics has an extensive knowledge of how to quickly develop new lighting solutions that will fit our customer’s specific lighting needs and requirements. Supporting the continued development of new products for customers, we can provide lighting layouts and 3D models of the lights themselves.

MOBILE BARRIERS MBT-1

Called the “perfect tool” for various types of road, bridge, and tunnel work, the award winning Mobile Barriers MBT-1 is receiving increasing accolades for improving worker safety and efficiency, while also helping to improve the safety and mobility of passing traffic in and around temporary work zones.
With 5-foot-high walls and integrated power, lighting, signage, and TMA, the barrier can be driven to site with no special setup. The barrier’s storage areas and surface decks can be used to carry tools, equipment, materials, and supplies to and from the jobsite. 30-foot cranes and scissor lifts are two of the newer options which can be added to assist crews.
The MBT-1 has proven particularly efficient for various types of work where protection has not traditionally been practical and where setup/breakdown has sometimes taken longer than the work itself. In some instances, crews are doing in one night what had otherwise taken three to five.
MobileBarrier1
In the DC area, crews have cut the time for certain types of ongoing work by 66 percent, with better response times and productivity. In Colorado, crews have replaced 42 sticks of guardrail in the time it normally takes to do 6 to 8 (one night). On Staten Island, they replaced bridge rail in half the anticipated time. In each case, the barrier is simply driven to site, and from site to site, as needed.
These and other projects such as chip seal, pothole repairs, slab replacement, ITS installations, and maintenance, as well as bridge and tunnel work (bridge joint, bridge deck, tunnel maintenance and repairs), often involve discrete work areas and multiple locations in a given day or night. For such work, the barrier is particularly useful … and what has been called “cheap insurance.”
The barrier has stopped a direct rear impact without damage (only the TMA needed be replaced). On two occasions, the MBT-1 has turned and safely redirected semi trucks with only nominal damage (pictures on the MBT-1 website).  ■

MotComp1
MOTOR COMPONENTS, LLC

Motor Components has designed the next generation FACET Diesel Lift fuel pump and Priming fuel pump for Tier 4 diesel engines and common rail diesel systems. These fuel pumps are designed for original equipment installation, allowing engineers flexibility in their fuel system designs.
MotComp2
NEW DIESEL LIFT/PRIMING PUMP
While many engine manufacturers are hard at work designing new engines to meet the Tier 4 requirements, Motor Components has also invested in the development of their new diesel lift/priming pump. Motor Components recognized the need for a fuel pump with higher pressure and flow rate at working pressure which is required on many Tier 4 engines and common rail systems with a MTBF of 8,000 to 10,000 hours. The diesel fuel pump must also be compatible with biodiesel, and fuel additives that are common in today’s diesel fuels around the world. Our design engineers have incorporated state-of-the-art technology with tried and proven pump designs to develop Motor Components Facet “New Generation Fuel Pump.” This new family of pumps will be offered in the Cube Solid State and DURA-LIFT Solid State models. Facet fuel pumps have more than 65 years of proven performance and set the industry standard for high-quality, made-in-the-USA product. Our target customer for these fuel pump are Tier 4 diesel engine manufacture and equipment manufactures in markets such as ag, industrial, gen-set, marine, and so on.
MotComp3
NEW DESIGN
One important issue faced was the overall size of this pump, keeping in mind that there will be minimal space in the engine compartment. We decided to design around our Cube Solid State and DURA-LIFT Solid State pumps to ensure maximum performance in the smallest possible package. The new design incorporates the highest quality electronics with stainless steel internal components to meet the Tier 4 common rail requirements. Facet’s hard working solenoid diesel fuel pumps have a higher flow rate at working pressure, which is necessary for the new common rail systems. The patent pending design meets the material requirements placed on today’s fuel systems by the injection systems.
MotComp4
FUEL FILTRATION
Motor Components has also placed fuel filtration high on the priority list and offers the DURA-Lift style pump with a 80 micron stainless steel fuel filter with a clear filter bowl that allows visible inspection of the fuel and filter as well as easy serviceability. We offer two options for the Cube style pump filters. The filters are installed to the pump’s in-let fitting which allows protection for the pump and can also be serviced easily. These filters are designed for the Facet fuel pumps and are very good options as the pre-filter in today’s extremely clean fuel requirements.
Many manufactures are looking for the highest quality products at the lowest possible price and Motor Components, Facet fuel pumps meet and exceed this expectation.
All Facet lift/priming fuel pumps are engineered and manufactured by Motor Components LLC, an ISO9001:2008 facility. For design and engineering information contact Paul Puleo, national sales manager, 607.737.8371; email: p.puleo@facet-purolator.com. ■

NATIONAL ATTACHMENTS

SERVING INDUSTRIES AND PEOPLE WORLDWIDE FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS

More than 25 years ago, the attachment business was in its infancy with little focus being given to various tools that could be used with heavy machinery. It was this need that Scott Guimond, president of National Attachments Incorporated, identified when he created the company.
“I knew that the demand was there, and I felt that if I focused 100 percent of my attention to the attachments industry, there was endless potential,” Guimond says. “I immediately went to work creating alliances with manufacturers that I felt I could do a good job representing.”
The first of these was NYE Manufacturing, well known in Canada for building some of the most rugged construction equipment attachments. Guimond brought the extreme service product offering of NYE to the United States. Now, National Attachments has grown to represent more than 100 manufacturers of quality attachments from all over the world.
National Attachments specializes in the distribution and sales of machine attachments for the construction, demolition, forestry, recycling, scrap, pipeline, utility, and aggregate industries; serving private, municipal, and government sectors, both domestic and abroad.
The focus at National Attachments is to assist customers in finding the right tool for the right application. Representing manufacturers who produce nearly every heavy-equipment attachment and accessory imaginable, they view the attachment market as a full-time effort rather than as a sideline to equipment sales. With this focus and wide range of available products, they have the knowledge and expertise to provide the best product for each specific application.
According to Guimond, “National Attachments prides itself on its personal relationships with customers. Many of our customers today are the same people that helped us get started 25 years ago, and for that we are very grateful.” ■

NoteV1
NOTEVAULT

NoteVault provides a simple, yet efficient software solution that connects the “boots-on-the-ground” superintendents to the back-office, making it easy to create daily project reports and track every detail. This means that closing the books on a construction project doesn’t need to be weighed down with the hassle of years of claims.
Our service is used throughout the United States and internationally by construction and construction management companies of all sizes, including many of the largest in the industry, such as Hunt, McCarthy, Burns & McDonnell, URS, and CH2MHill, to name a few.
NoteVault is leading the field in daily project reports due to the simplicity it gives superintendents to speak their notes directly into any cellular phone, iPad, or Android device and will capture recordings without live cellular service. The user calls a project-specific telephone number, and adds photos or other files as needed.
By generating one collaborative report that includes notes from all parties working on the project, NoteVault saves project supervisors hours of time as they no longer have to chase down reports from anyone on the team.
NoteVault maintains an encrypted text file and the original audio file for 10 years utilizing a secure cloud-based storage. The audio file preserves a voiceprint specific to the person speaking, which retains their original voice note and solidifies protection in the event of litigation.
Some significant features of NoteVault Reporting include: time and date stamped daily reports with the retention of audio files; unlimited photos and videos tagged to individual notes; the “AlertMe!” application which administers time-sensitive notifications, such as safety incidents by automatically alerting all designated recipients on the project; Keyword Notification, which allows you to specify certain words that, when included in a note, will trigger an email notification to you (and whoever else you want) within seconds of the note being transcribed; and templates for detailed labor, equipment, and materials reports.
In a nutshell, NoteVault increases project transparency where and when it is needed.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
NoteVault provides customer data integrated into their existing software systems, such as ConstructWare, CMiC, Prolog, Evernote, Box, and SharePoint.
Integration with CMiC, a software solutions provider for the construction industry, reduces duplicate data entry while increasing data integrity and provides significant benefits for project managers and general contractors. This includes access to daily reports through CMiC, enabling construction companies to keep all of their information and daily reports in one place.
NoteVault’s new integration with Box is now available in Box OneCloud, an ecosystem of integrated mobile apps. The integration enables construction workers on the jobsite to record a report with NoteVault, which is then automatically filed and indexed in Box for easy accessibility, sharing, and collaboration across the entire organization.
Poor documentation is the root cause of many problems that occur on a jobsite. The NoteVault-Autodesk Constructware integration allows all the individuals involved on a project to access, manage, and distribute essential reports with ease and in less time. The technology enhancement expands both platforms’ value in helping to ensure that construction jobs run smoothly with maximum efficiency and minimal costs.
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
The company has been around since 2008, but recently received funding from West Partners to expand its solutions, as well as geographic focus. NoteVault is expected to grow significantly over the coming year to be the leading provider of automated daily report solutions—no matter what information is needed from the daily jobsite. Future developments will be focused around the mobile phone and providing business intelligence for construction managers. ■

Pettibone1
PETTIBONE

RUGGED EQUIPMENT FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS

In the unforgiving environments of the construction world, you need to work with manufacturers that you can rely on at all times and that build the type of machines that can get the job done. So when you need reliable, durable equipment for the toughest demands, look no further than Pettibone Traverse Lift.
Founded in 1881, Pettibone products have consistently led the way with rugged designs and exceptional durability that deliver high power and low cost of operation.
Pettibone’s success is driven by a willingness to listen to customer needs, and then design innovative products that exceed their expectations. The result is a lineup of vehicles with the heaviest capacities, longest reaches, and highest lift heights available. Pettibone combines stronger axle designs with high-performance engines, maximum cab visibility, plus a full line of attachments. And all of it is backed up with one of the longest warranties in the industry.
CARY-LIFT
The Pettibone equipment lineup is headlined by the Cary-Lift, a heavy-duty, rough terrain forklift that outperforms the competition by providing unsurpassed productivity, visibility, and safety.
The unique overhead lift arm design of the Cary-Lift provides the operator with full front visibility with no obstructed view when lifting, placing, or transporting loads. Unlike other forward reaching loaders, the Cary-Lift’s solid steel frame design allows it to take full loads into sharp turns without sacrificing load capacity or stability.
The Cary-Lift also features 90-degree fork tilt down, forward reach, hydraulic frame sway control, and side shift for unmatched load manipulation. This makes it ideal for a variety of applications, from fully unloading pipe from a gondola car with just one operator to maneuvering pipe and other loads around crowded stockyards.
Pettibone2
EXTENDO AND TRAVERSE TELEHANDLERS
Pettibone developed the industry’s first telescopic boom forklift, model B66, in 1972. Today, Pettibone’s telehandler lines offer the most responsive hydraulics in the industry, giving operators the utmost confidence when moving loads. Offering a dozen of the most productive machines in the industry, Pettibone provides configurations perfectly suited for every jobsite.
The Pettibone Extendo fixed pivot boom machines are available in sizes that range from 7,000 to 15,000-pound capacities, with lift heights that extend up to 67 feet with optional attachments. Extendo models are equipped with industry leading visibility, hydraulics, and a rear axle stabilization system, helping to make jobsites safer. Four-drive is a standard offering, along with two-wheel, four-wheel, and crab steering modes, and 21 inches of ground clearance.
The Pettibone Traverse series offer a sliding boom mechanism that provides 70 inches of horizontal boom travel. This capability delivers precision load placement in tight areas without having to reposition the machine itself. Operators can use this feature to safely offload at full lift height, a task that other machines can only dream to achieve.
Both models feature a single joystick control system for all boom functions, auxiliary boom tip hydraulics, and quick disconnect for attachments. Operators also enjoy a fully adjustable suspension seat and optional enclosed operator compartments with heat and air conditioning.
ARDCO
Another line of machines in the Pettibone family caters to the oil and gas industry, where having no road is not a problem when you’re driving an ARDCO buggy. ARDCO is the leading name in all-terrain equipment for drilling, pipeline construction, and off-road transport. ARDCO products can be found hard at work all over the world—day in, day out. Their solid construction and robust mechanical power perform in the harshest working conditions without complaint.
ARDCO’s full line of geophysical, geothermal, geotechnical, and off-road transport vehicles include customized water and fuel buggies, personnel carriers, and seismic drills. These machines enhance speed and productivity at seismic and oil and gas exploration sites while defying the elements around them.
ARDCO’s design expertise is also found in its pipe haulers and skidders, winch and utility buggies, and geophone vehicles. Work doesn’t stop when you rely on ARDCO’s flotation tires, lifts, digger derricks, and much more. ■

These technically advanced boom pumps are the only units on the market providing the choice of high output or high pressure. So whether operators need muscle to place concrete on top of a high-rise or to place large volumes of concrete for slab or mat pours, they can count on Putzmeister.
Only Putzmeister gives operators the choice to place concrete with a telescopic belt conveyor. Putzmeister’s line of Telebelts®, ranging from the TB 110 to the TB 200 with truck, semi-trailer, tower, and crane chassis mounting configurations, gives operators the flexibility to easily switch from placing concrete to rock, stone, gravel, or backfill. They handle concrete mixes with any size slump and materials ranging from sand to 6-inch aggregate.

Putzmeister delivers new innovations in ready-mix trucks with the introduction of our Pro Series standard and Bridge Maxx Series booster axle concrete mixers. Durable for years of reliable performance and easy to use and service, these units offer high payloads and productivity and reliable controls with redundant backups to ensure payload delivery.
Optional Ergonic® Mix Control (EMC) is fully programmable to seamlessly balance engine speed and hydraulic pump output to achieve optimum drum speed, reducing drum wear and saving fuel. Minimum and maximum drum speeds are programmable to batch plant preference. The customer selects the drum speed and EMC does the rest, eliminating guesswork.
To place concrete on high-rise structures or for industrial applications, Putzmeister placing booms and BSA high-pressure trailer pumps are the solution. Showcasing the power behind our BSA 14000 SHP-D pump, Putzmeister set a world record concrete conveying height of 1,988 feet on the Burj Kahlifa in April 2008. The company produces a line of concrete placing booms that universally connect to multiple Putzmeister tower designs and don’t require a counterweight. Putzmeister’s five-section MX 43/47 Z-Fold placing boom is the largest placing boom in the industry that does not require a counterweight.
Putzmeister’s trailer-mounted pumps are rugged, compact, and reliable. Designed for dozens of commercial, industrial, and residential pumping applications that don’t require a boom, Putzmeister’s line of Thom-Katt® units are also ideal for grout, shotcrete, and concrete applications.

Rome1
ROME PLOW

Rome Plow was founded in 1932 by Tom Mullen and his partner, Jack Lemann. Mr. Mullen, the Caterpillar dealer for Honduras in Central America, found a need for high-quality tillage implements to be used in conjunction with Caterpillar tractors. To satisfy this need, Lemann and Mullen purchased the Towers and Sullivan Plow Company of Rome, Georgia. Towers and Sullivan Plow Company was established in 1877, and already had a strong name in the implement industry. The company was moved from Rome to Cedartown in 1934 where it has continually expanded its facilities and product line.
Rome Plow has long recognized and appreciated the major contribution of its employees. The old-fashioned ideas of teamwork, family hiring practices, and an “open door policy” were established a half-century ago. Those principles continue to guide the company as it enters with confidence its second century.
Rome2
In March of 2010, Rome Plow was purchased by Danny and Brenda Dumey of Oran, Missouri. Danny and Brenda have successfully started several businesses, including Dumey Contracting, Brenda Kay Construction, Brenda Kay Sand, and Double D Manufacturing.
Since the Dumey’s purchased Rome, the focus has been shifted on designing new equipment to work with the higher horsepower tractors that are being produced today. Currently, there are very few implements that can harness the full potential of today’s tractors.
Rome3
The ROME brand name has always been associated with heavy-duty construction and agricultural implements. Today, you can find ROME equipment in more than 100 countries around the world, and that number is growing every day.  ■

SpinScreed
SPIN SCREED

NEW SCREED SUPPORT SYSTEM REDUCES FILL VOLUME BY 85%

Spin Screed has just developed and made available to contractors a screed support system that reduces the fill volume by 85 percent when compared with a pipe screed. The new flat bar screed support system uses a plastic chair set on top of rebar driven to the proper grade. Instead of the contractor screeding off the top of a pipe, they screed off of the top of a flat bar. After the bar is removed, the small void left in the concrete is easily filled by simply bull floating the area. There is no need to fill and this produces a fast and flat surface every time. A video of this new screed support system is available on the Spin Screed website: www.spinscreed.com.
Thirteen years ago, Joe Churchill, an experienced concrete contractor, developer, and builder, invented the first light-weight roller screed to serve the needs of his own construction business. He called the roller screed the Spin Screed and trademarked the name after becoming convinced that the Spin Screed he had just invented was better than any screed on the market. After 13 years of production and steady growth, the Spin Screed can be found on some of the biggest projects in North America and 16 countries around the world.
Big name contractors like Kiewit, Flatiron, TIC, and others, as well as countless small contractors, have discovered the benefits of the Spin Screed and put it to work on their jobs. The Spin Screed has been chosen to work on some of the biggest construction projects in North America, including the widest suspension bridge in the world and the world’s longest floating bridge.
Put the Spin Screed to work on your job and begin to reap the benefits of this amazing screed. ■

Towmaster started building equipment and utility trailers in the late 1970’s. They started with a couple models in a few hauling capacities, but soon grew to build more and more styles. As construction equipment evolved, so did Towmaster trailers.

Over 150 trucks a year have been produced and sold through Towmaster since 2009. With a well-earned respect in the plow truck community, Towmaster delivers quality.
Towmaster’s focus on the construction and rental markets for trailers, along with road maintenance for trucks, have allowed them to become better and stronger in the marketplace.

Trinity1
TRINITY HIGHWAY

For more than 40 years, Trinity Highway and its brands, Energy Absorption, Safe-Hit, and Yodock, have been leading innovators of solutions for both domestic and international roadways. The product lines feature several proprietary products, including guardrail, cable barrier, crash cushions, truck and trailer mounted attenuators, steel and water filled barrier, sign supports, flexible delineators, and other solutions for the roadway. Trinity Highway offers a full line of contractor-friendly systems that are efficient, as well as economical.
Trinity Highway offers a wide variety of Truck and Trailer Mounted Attenuators for use on stationary or moving shadow vehicles. Two contractor favorites are:
The MPS 350®X is a galvanized, cantilevered truck-mounted attenuator. The compact TMA has passed all mandatory and optional testing, and is NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 3 compliant. It has also passed the British high speed standard TD 49. The unit is made of galvanized steel components with an open design, which allows for easy inspection and maintenance, and less wind resistance when travelling in the upright position. The heavy-duty Durashell® strike plate cover provides nuisance hit protection, and a warning buzzer alerts crews when the unit is not fully deployed or in the upright position. When impacted according to NCHRP Report 350 testing criteria, the unit’s debris field is contained and easy to clean up.
The Vorteq® is a galvanized, trailer-mounted attenuator. The lightweight TMA has passed all mandatory and optional testing, and is NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 3 compliant. It also meets the UK requirements for Lorry Mounted Crash Cushions at the highest velocity level of 110 km/h. The trailer unit is comprised of a lightweight tube-in-tube rail frame and a wheel/axle assembly. When impacted according to NCHRP Report 350 standards, the energy absorbing frame rails are curled inward, reducing debris scatter and hazards to other traffic and personnel in the work zone. After impact, the unit’s wheels and axle stay connected and functional, thus allowing the damaged unit to be driven away without additional equipment or special tow vehicles.
Trinity2
The Vulcan® Family offers contractors numerous steel barrier options with one common component:
The Vulcan® is a portable steel longitudinal barrier made of lightweight, galvanized steel segments. It is NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 3 and 4 and EN 1317 H2 and N2 compliant as a longitudinal, redirecting barrier. The barrier can be used in permanent and work zone applications with a variety of end treatments such as the QuadGuard®, TRACC®, Quest®, or ACZ 350®. Vertical steel pivot pins interlink each module, allowing the system to follow curves of up to 6 degrees per segment. The lightweight and stackable design allows up to 160 meters of Vulcan to be transported on one truck, offering huge transport savings when compared to traditional concrete barriers.
The Vulcan® Moveable Barrier is easily moved and repositioned using the Vulcan Transfer Attachment (VTA). The affordable VTA, attached to a skid steer or front end loader, enables an operator to reposition 1 mile of Vulcan Barrier, 1-lane width, in approximately 20 minutes from either side of the barrier. The Vulcan Moveable Barrier and the VTA are perfect for work zones that require frequent reconfigurations and lane changes.
The Vulcan® Gate is designed to facilitate access through runs of permanent and temporary longitudinal barrier. The system consists of two steel transitions, two hinges, and at least one section of Vulcan barrier equipped with wheels and jacks. The Vulcan Gate can be manually opened in approximately 1 minute by removing several pins, deploying casters, and pushing the Vulcan modules to the desired location. The Vulcan Gate is NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 2 and 3 compliant as a longitudinal, redirecting barrier.
The Yodock® product line features several options when barricades are needed:
Yodock® offers a full line of innovative traffic control products centered on the patented ballast-able water and sand fillable barricades. Made in the USA of heavy-duty polyethylene, Yodock barricades can be accessorized to meet a variety of traffic control product categories. Whether faced with traffic control, airport construction, crowd control, or general construction needs, Yodock has the solution for your project. ■

USR1
US RADAR INC.

TAKING THE LEAD IN GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR WITH NEW TRIPLE-FREQUENCLY “QUANTUM IMAGER” TECHNOLOGY

Headquartered in Matawan, New Jersey, US Radar Inc. is a leading manufacturer and distributor of surface-penetrating radar systems, also known as ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Most recently, the company introduced the Quantum Imager™, the world’s first GPR system to use triple-frequency radar technology for locating and imaging objects at greater depths and with higher resolution than competitive single- or dual-frequency systems.
The Quantum Imager excels in a wide variety of applications, from bridge deck analysis to locating and imaging utilities at depths up to 30 feet—twice the depth limit of dual-frequency systems and three times that of single-frequency units. The company has filed U.S. and international patent applications for technology in the Quantum Imager that applies ultra-wideband pulses, combining the advantages of pulse radar and stepped frequency radar.
The Quantum Imager is one of several “all in one” models from US Radar that integrate GPR technology with a tablet computer in a walk-behind cart, enabling the operator to view the radar imagery and run a variety of software applications such as GPS, 3D imaging, Google Earth integration, and report generation. US Radar also manufactures a variety of modular GPR systems that offer an array of customizable configurations.
The Seeker SPR acquisition software is included as a standard component of each system. Geared toward the quick and easy location of a multitude of targets, the Seeker software provides a clear, crisp graphical display of data in a user-friendly format, featuring vibrant colors to simplify recognition of those targets and features. The software automatically applies filters as required, creating data that is easily interpreted. Data is displayed in real time and may be recorded for further analysis or processing.
USR2
US Radar performs quality inspection on circuit boards for its new ground-penetrating radar units.
EXPANDING LINEUP, APPLICATIONS
Ron LaBarca, president of USRadar, says, “At a time when many manufacturers are offshoring production, we’re not only adding capacity here in the States but expanding our lineup. In the coming months, we will be putting GPR within reach for even more users.”
Today, GPR systems are employed in public utilities, construction, environmental services, geology, archeology, humanitarian services, and law enforcement.
20 YEARS OF INNOVATION
US Radar celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. The company was founded to promote and commercialize the SPRscan surface-penetrating radar technology that a British company, ERA Technology, developed in the 1980s to assist in detecting buried explosives. Initial commercial versions of the technology were developed in 1990, incorporating improvements that made it more user-friendly to the private sector and accessible to the masses.
US Radar was formed in 1994 as the ERA Technology sales and marketing partner for the Americas. In 2002, US Radar acquired the SPRscan and GPR manufacturing and engineering division, including worldwide customer marketing, support, and service from ERA Technology. Since then, US Radar has made numerous product and software upgrades and continues to strive toward excellence in technological advancement, product support, and application satisfaction from its worldwide customer base.
In addition to manufacturing and selling GPR systems, US Radar also provides training to its customers. In less than one day of training, a new operator learns the principles and theory of GPR, data analysis, and basic system operations and settings. The operator then spends a few hours practicing in the field on actual equipment. Training options include introductory and advanced courses in classroom, web-based, and on-site training modules.

WITZCO CHALLENGER TRAILERS

For three generations, WITZCO Challenger Trailers have been manufactured with the promise of excellence. WITZCO, named after its founders Israel and Rebecca Witzer, was created in 1938 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under the name IR Witzer Company. It began as a simple steel workshop that produced artistic sculptures and small household items. As time progressed, with their dedication to their work, Israel and Rebecca Witzer began to construct bigger and better projects to expand their business. They soon involved their children in the family business, and in 1979, the family relocated to Sarasota, Florida, bringing the steel profession with them. It wasn’t until the 1980’s that the Witzer family decided to narrow their production to lowboy trailers. In 1997, the company changed its name to WITZCO Trailers Incorporated. Today, the third generation of this family business continues to produce the excellent work of Israel and Rebecca Witzer through the dedication of their grandsons, Sam Witzer, president, and Josh Weinstein, vice president.
Witzco
The WITZCO Challenger Trailer consists of a variety of series: Removable gooseneck (either ground bearing or non-ground bearing), Rigid Neck, Drop Deck, Rolling Tailboard, Tag, and Hydraulic Tail. Popular options include: front flip ramps, articulating stinger, rear bucket well, beaver tail with hydraulic ramps, gooseneck fenders, flip axle, and many more. WITZCO is also recognized for building special, high-capacity, custom-designed trailers. Therefore, the trailers are painted to customer satisfaction either in the seven offered colors or in a custom design.
WITZCO sells to a great distributor network that encompasses the entire planet. Such distributors reside in North, Central, and South America; South Africa; Nigeria; Iceland; Russia; the Ukraine. WITZCO trailers also supports the United States Military by selling artillery tag trailers and tank retrieval trailers over the past several years.
