for easy maneuverability around tight jobsites. With twin axle-mounted
stabilizers, as well as a frame-leveling chassis, operators can make
side-to-side adjustments on up to 10-degree side slopes. Terrainability
is also enhanced with a 20.5-inch break-over ground clearance, which

Other Products
Asset
management tool
The GlobalTracs Lite system from Qualcomm is an asset management tool
that provides actionable, operational and location information with
management applications. As the new addition to Qualcomm’s suite for
fleet management, the GT Lite system complements the GlobalTracs system,
offering many of the same features and functions and it is suitable for
installation on a more broad range of equipment. Fleet managers can use
the new system as a standalone solution to help manage and secure entire
fleets, or it can be used in a mixed-fleet environment with the
GlobalTracs equipment management system. The GlobalTracs Lite system
includes proactive theft-prevention and recovery features, including a
back-up battery to alert owners if the power is cut. Engine-start curfew
alerts help companies monitor after-hours use of their equipment for
enhanced asset management and security. Assisted-GPS technology enables
visibility inside buildings and locations without a clear view of the
sky. Updated engine-hour data shows when equipment is running, which
helps owners to identify underutilized equipment that can be re-deployed
to increase productivity.

Locating
system
The 250R/T locating system from Ditch Witch is designed to locate
and avoid buried telephone, CATV, power, gas and water lines. Consisting
of a 250T transmitter and 250R receiver, this lightweight system
features intuitive controls, an easy-to-read display and depth
estimation up to 15 feet. The 250R/T can locate even when signals are
either weak or strong. Tones are derived from the actual signals
radiating from pipes or cables. The display is backlit and reinforced
with a scratch-resistant coating for optimal visibility day and night.
It can apply 33-kHz signals via direct connect, induction clamp, or
other optional accessories. The unit also contains two-thirds fewer
components than similar models, which means fewer chances of mechanical
or electrical interruption, according to the company. The system also
features a rugged design and moisture-resistant case that stands up to
long-term use and tough weather conditions.
