The unit operates from a standard 115-volt power source and cuts at a
rate of 2,500 oscillations per minute. It also removes vinyl composition
tiles, sheet linoleum, rubber-backed carpet and a wide variety of
mastics and adhesives. The random orbit blade action of the unit
maximizes material removal rates, while also reducing operator fatigue.

Dry
carpet cleaning system
The Host dry carpet
cleaning system is a low-moisture method that leaves carpets clean and
dry immediately after use. The system begins with the Host dry carpet
cleaner, which is an all-natural product containing a balanced blend of
moisture, detergent and a small amount of safe-to-use solvents. It
dissolves, absorbs and traps greasy, oily dirt, spots and odors. The dry
clean machine works the cleaner through to dislodge embedded soil. The
machine also lifts and straightens the carpet pile, making it durable
and extending its life.

with a low center of gravity. The pivot design keeps the engine’s
weight low to the frame. Fold-down chip retainers provide loads of chip
capacity and minimize cleanup time. The unit also can fit through a
36-inch gate and has a hydraulic backfill blade.

Standing
mower
The Stander ZK large deck standing mower from Wright Manufacturing features deck
widths from 52 to 72 inches, which are larger than Wright’s
traditional Stander. The ZK is powered by engines up to 37 hp. The decks
are deeper, the wheels are larger and the fuel capacity is greater,
making the new mower designed for sports fields. The ZK also offers the
benefits of Wright’s traditional Stander, such as low center of
gravity for hillside stability, shorter overall length for added
maneuverability and the ability for the operator to step off the
spring-suspended stand-on platform in case of an emergency or to pick up
debris.

Motor
technology
WEG Electric Motors has
developed a control regimen for standard totally enclosed fan-cooled
induction motors. This OptimalFlux technology is designed for use in
driving loads that require constant torque over variable speeds, such as
those encountered with compressors and conveyor belts. It also enables a
standard motor to operate at a much cooler temperature across its entire
speed range.

Location
system
LoJack introduces a new
comprehensive solution for fleet managers that layers asset management
capabilities on top of the company’s stolen vehicle recovery system.
LoCate + LoJack features the company’s easy-to-use and straightforward
asset management system, which is based on GPS technology. It is a
ruggedized system designed for installation in 12- or 24-volt equipment.
To deliver a more robust solution, LoJack coupled its new asset
management offering with its stolen vehicle recovery system. LoCate
includes several key functions that enable fleet managers to analyze
assets. The location-on-demand feature enables users to access real-time
location of equipment via GPS data to manage equipment availability,
secure accurate location for equipment pick-up and improve workforce
productivity. The geofencing feature allows users to set pre-defined
radial boundaries around equipment and receive alerts if that equipment
exits the area. The engine hours feature provides users with daily
engine hour data for more effective maintenance planning and customer
billing. And the reporting feature creates user-defined reports to track
equipment utilization and maintenance scheduling.

Kobelco
Excavators Prove Their Worth in Bridge Demolition
Greg Bair Track Hoe Service put its fleet of Kobelco excavators to the test
in the demolition of the Nolan Road Bridge, west of Kansas City, Mo.
Time was of the essence: demolition of the four-lane interstate
overpass, which started at 3 a.m. on a Saturday, had to be completed in
18 hours, before the Monday morning rush hour.
Greg Bair, founder and president of Greg Bair Track Hoe Service, decided
to direct this operation himself, as the extreme time pressure on such a
complex project required extra attention to coordination. He put his
crew to work with twelve Kobelco excavators mounted with breakers,
crushers, buckets and cutters, and the demolition was completed ahead of
schedule by 3 a.m. on Sunday morning.
“The Kobelco excavators gave an outstanding performance– even the
brand new SK295 I had to bring to the job with less than 12 hours of
break-in time,” said Bair.
Bair started his company in 1992 with one excavator. Over the years he
has grown his business and today he runs a fleet of 21 Kobelco
excavators ranging in from 15 tons to 40 tons.
