Hilti

Designed for heavy breaking applications and demolition work at floor level, Hilti's TE 3000-AVR breaker weighs 65 pounds and delivers 50 foot-pounds of impact energy to break up to six tons of material per hour. Advanced electronics are designed for the tool to work with generators and be less sensitive to voltage drops caused by long extension cords. Sub-chassis active vibration reduction cuts vibration and reduces fatigue. Active cooling system reduces wear and tear on motor, electronics and hammering mechanism. Brushless SR motor eliminates need to replace carbon brushes. Hilti offers a Lifetime Service Agreement.

Bobcat

Bobcat's 18- and 24-inch-wide planer attachments offer increased torque and horsepower compared with the models they replace. The attachments are compatible with all high-flow Bobcat skid-steer and compact track loaders. The cutting drums can be unlocked to allow oscillation up to 15 degrees in either direction, optimizing surface tracking on rutted or potholed surfaces. Units have been redesigned so that the left skid is visible to the operator, allowing the planer to be kept closer to the center of the carrier. Hydraulic side shift on both models has been increased from 26 to 29.8 inches.
