Hitachi DH30PC2 SDS Plus
The compact 1 3/16-in. SDS plus rotary hammer weighs just 9.5 lbs. and measures 14 in. long, yet has an impact energy of 4 ft.-lbs. Electronic variable speed control provides a no-load RPM between zero and 850 and an impact rate of zero to 3,700 bpm. Operating modes include drilling only, hammer only and hammer drilling. The chuck accepts SDS Plus bits by simply sliding the bit into the retainer. An adjustable 360° side handle provides better control and can be removed for work in tight spaces. A 7.4-amp motor delivers 850 watts of input power.

Genie Z-40/23N Articulating Boom
The Z-40/23N offers a 4-ft. 11-in.-wide profile and a 2-ft. 11-in. turning radius, allowing it to fit through standard-sized double doors and maneuver through tight passageways and congested work areas. The 15,230-lb. unit has a 21-ft. 3-in. up-and-over maximum clearance, a 46-ft. 5-in. maximum working height and a 22-ft. 8-in. maximum horizontal reach. Variable-speed technology delivers quick repositioning of loads up to a lift capacity of 500 lbs. within the boom's entire range of motion. A true multi-function control system allows smooth, responsive operation of several machine functions at the same time. The AC drive system combines DC batteries with three-phase AC drive motors for quiet, energy-efficient operation and

continuous control of drive speed.

Southern Fab Thumbs
Southern Fab's stiff-arm or weld-on hydraulic universal thumbs are available in a variety of configurations, including a narrow design for ditching and visibility; a wide design for brush or landfill applications; and a severe-duty design for greater wear capability. All models incorporate solid, one-piece tines and thick solid steel support plates rather than tubes and gussets. A thick wall steel tube is used in excavator link assemblies, while solid steel is used in mini-excavator and backhoe-loader models for extra strength. Wheel loader rakes and construction forks are also available.

Extec X38 SBS Crusher
The X38 SBS is based around the Telsmith 38SBS cone unit, which possesses a crushing speed of up to 780 rpm. The cone unit's smaller size allows for a compact, durable frame design, enabling the crusher to operate in even the most constrained environments. Power is supplied by a Caterpillar C-9 diesel engine rated at 350 hp. Full mobility is provided by the rugged tracks and optional transport bogie. An optional recirculation system coupled with a metal detector in the feed hopper ensure crushing efficiency with no need for further crushing Žstages. Intelligent machine control enables the combination of up to seven Extec machines in one operation.

Dressta 560E Extra Wheel Loader
The 560E Extra has a Cummins QSX-15 turbocharged, in-line six-cylinder engine that generates 427 net hp, or up to 445 hp at minimum fan speed, thanks to its variable-speed cooling fan. Features include a three-speed, full powershift, countershaft transmission, torque converter, front and rear drive axles and conventional differentials. Directional transmission and speed shifts are controlled by two levers at the operator's fingertips. Hydrostatic steering provides smooth control at any engine speed. The Z-bar linkage transfers maximum breakout force to the bucket to pry out hardpacked material. Four-wheel, hydraulic, multiple wet-disc brakes (C-Series) are completely sealed and force cooled.
