The following are products recently introduced to the rental market, as well as models which have undergone significant changes.

Rain for Rent HH-125c
The HH-125c four-inch pump from Rain for Rent is specifically designed to produce larger flows and higher discharge heads for mining, dewatering projects and temporary fire protection systems. Because the versatile HH-125c can handle solids up to 3 inches in diameter, it can also be used as a sewer bypass pump. The pump is capable of producing flows up to 1,400 gpm and discharge heads up to 360 feet. Mounted on a galvanized trailer and skids to protect against rust and corrosion, this equipment has a nearly maintenance-free surface.

Tanaka TEA-500
Tanaka America Inc. announces the TEA-500 two-man auger has returned to the auger lineup and is available for purchase. The TEA-500 joins Tanaka's one-man auger, the TIA-350S. The TEA-500 features a 50cc, 2.5-hp Tanaka two-stroke engine; 33:1 gear reduction ratio; fold-up handles for easy storage, dual safety throttle system and a one-year professional/rental warranty. In addition, the TEA-500's one-inch diameter round output shaft can accept up to 12-in. earth bits and an optional 15-in. extension is available as well.

Max USA SuperFramer SN883CH/34
The SN883CH/34 SuperFramer features a compact design and only weighs 6.8 lbs. and is 30 percent smaller than many conventional tools. Equipped with a selective trigger system, the tool comes in a single fire mode, but when a pin is removed, it becomes the patented Max Anti-Double Fire trigger system so the tool can be contact or single fired with no adjustments. Features include open nose for easy jam clearance, dial adjustable depth control, pointy teeth on contact, maintenance-free end cap filter and comfortable rubber grip.

MBW Universal Vibratory Platform for Excavators
MBW's boom-mounted vibratory platform can be fitted with an assortment of vibratory wheels or vibratory plates, depending on soil type and work area constraints. Whichever compactor is affixed to the vibratory platform, the combination of vibratory forces (10,000 lbs. CF) and down pressure (to 33,000 lbs.) makes quick work of the compaction task at hand. Vibratory plate and wheel options for the Universal Plate are available in 24- and 36-in. working widths.
