Take a look through the next couple of pages for the latest equipment available. You'll find a solid sampling of both new machines and models that have been recently revamped by the manufacturers.

MBW R440HC Rammer
The 142-lb. R440HC is powered by a 3-hp Honda four-cycle engine with diaphragm carburetion. The unit has an 11" x 13" shoe and delivers up to 700 bpm at 3,800 lbs. per blow. Features include a low center of gravity, noise-attenuating 4.6-qt. fuel tank, four-ply steel- and fiber-reinforced bellows and a cool-running delivery system. An optional digital tachometer advises operators on whether the unit is running within optimal performance range.

Thompson 4-in. Dry-Prime Pump
This 4-in. pump features a high-efficiency impeller design that delivers flows up to 1,450 gpm and heads up to 150 ft., plus handles solids up to 3 in. A three-cylinder diesel engine allows for added fuel savings. The unit has a completely modular design and offers three different priming systems, including compressor/venturi, vacuum pump and diaphragm primer. Options include a detachable trailer, double-wall fuel tank, automatic start/stop engine controller and sound-reducing canopy.

JLG Improved Workstation
The SkyPower generator and SkyWelder welding system now offer improved performance. The 7,500-watt SkyPower generator is now belt-driven and is a standard feature on the Models 600S, 600SC, 800S, 800A and Ultra Boom series boom lifts. It is optional on all other combustion-powered models. The optional SkyWelder system reflects changes in Miller Electric's specifications for its Model CST 280-amp welder. The system is suited for stick electrodes up to 3/16 in.

Loup Electronics Weighlog 200
The Weighlog 200 is a mobile scale designed for use on skid steers and small wheel loaders. It measures the hydraulic pressure at a specific position in the cycle either dynamically (as the load is lifted) or statically (to a preset reference point). Five individual display channels are available for material and/or attachments. The unit also includes a Total Weight display, automatic lift speed compensation and optional printing capability.
