PETTIBONE
New Tire Handler
Pettibone introduces the next generation in tire handling. Working closely with engineers from Iowa Mold & Tool (IMT), Pettibone has developed an integrated solution to tire handling with the first machine engineered specifically for the new line of IMT tire hands. By combining Pettibone’s time-proven Cary-Lift with IMT’s tire hands, operators now have functionally and visibility never seen before. The Cary-Lift’s unique overhead lift arms and 90° tilt down ability allows operators to safely manipulate tire and wheel combinations of up to 21,500 lbs without the visual impairments commonly found when using wheel-loaders and straight mast forklifts in similar applications.

ALLU
Screener Crusher
The ALLU D-Series Screener Crusher Bucket attachment works with wheel loaders, excavators, and skid steers to screen, crush, pulverize, aerate, blend, mix, separate, feed and load materials all in one stage. The ALLU power adjustment valve promotes powerful startup and rotation allowing the attachment to efficiently screen and crush wet or dry material from 0.60-inch to 6-inch fragment sizes. Straight side plate construction makes the ALLU D-Series Screener Crusher Buckets easy to fill and able to hold a greater volume of material, while the standard power adjustment valve prevents overloads. Locating the hydraulics on the back of the attachment keeps them well protected from damage, while patented fender plates protect the bearings and seals. Its patented construction keeps nuts and bolts away from the material flow. For more information, call 800.939.2558. email usa@allu.net, or visit www.allu.net.
Tie-Cast
TIE-CAST SYSTEMS, INC.
Mortarless Structural Block
Architects around the world have studied Frank Lloyd Wright’s use of mortarless textile blocks. However, this art has not been widely used due to the difficulty of making a cost-effective, mortarless, structural block. Tie-Cast Systems introduces a mortarless, groutless, steel-reinforced block that has a custom textile appearance. Applications include retaining walls, schools, warehouses, temporary structures, etc. The system is installed in a fraction of the time, is ready for immediate use, and can be removed and reused. Tie-Cast presents cost-efficient and easy-to-install textile blocks that provide the utility and strength of a traditional reinforced block wall. For more information, visit www.tiecastsystems.com.
