U.S. Striping Offers Digimark
U.S. Striping offers a "business in a box" approach to pavement marking. For a single price contractors receive striping equipment, trailer, training, marketing materials, and the right to use an outdoor graphics system called Digimark that allows full-color ads and logos to be placed on parking lot pavements. Digimark graphics can be applied indoors or outdoors for a variety of customers such as banks, gas stations, supermarkets, office parks, colleges, day care centers, and pre-schools.

Bergkamp Flameless Patcher
The Bergkamp FP5 Flameless Pothole Patcher reduces material waste with its insulated 5.1 cu. yd. electric heated hopper that keeps mix at a constant temperature and pliable. Features include a pavement breaker, an air and tack wand, a material chute to deliver fresh mix, and a compactor. A screw conveyor mixes the asphalt and delivers it to the auger, which is powered by two motors to deliver the stiffest mixes. Truck- or trailer-mounted available.

Work Area Traffic Control
Work Area Protection Corp. offers a full line of traffic control products that include traffic cones, drums, channelizers, signs and stands, warning lights, barricades, arrow boards, and more. All three styles of traffic cones are available in plain or with reflective collars attached. Three models of cone collars with reflective materials from Reflexite, 3M, and Avery Dennison, to meet users' specific nighttime visibility needs. Cone accessories include holders, stabilizers, arrow signs, flag adaptors, lights and stenciling (English/Spanish). Channelizer drums and bases incorporate a non-circular cross section to inhibit rolling after impact. A built-in carrying handle on the drum and base makes for easy transport.

Elgin LifeLiner™ Hopper System
The LifeLiner™ hopper system, from Elgin Sweeper, is a specially designed liner and finish system that improves the life, durability, and functionality of a sweeper hopper. Available as an option on all Elgin sweepers, the system uses a wear-resistant proprietary polyurethane coating. The outside of the hopper undergoes a two-part process that bakes on a zinc-rich primer and then bakes on a high-gloss polyester topcoat that provides a durable and attractive finish, allowing both the inside anti-abrasion liner and outside finish to permanently bond to the steel. Then a polyurethane material developed specifically for Elgin Sweeper is applied to all inside surfaces of the hopper to protect against wear and corrosion. Dumping and cleaning also is easier as the hopper finish is smooth and slick.

Moonlight by Multiquip
Glare-free lighting systems eliminate the fans required by other balloon lights to maintain air in the balloon, so dirt and debris is not blown into the unit. Multiquip's Moonlight inflates in seconds and a plug maintains air pressure. Moonlights rise to a max height of 10 ft., are available in 150- , 400- , and 1,000-watt outputs, light areas up to 100 ft. from light source, and bulbs last up to 10,000 hours. Stable in winds up to 55 mph.
