Caterpillar

The new Caterpillar 325C LCR hydraulic excavator features a compact swing radius for high productivity in tight areas. Tail swing radius is only 6 feet, 3 inches, as compared to 10 feet for the standard 325C L. To further minimize the working envelope and to boost lift capacity over the front, the boom tower is positioned farther back in the upper frame as compared to a standard excavator. The design reduces the front swing radius when the boom is pulled up for easier operation in limited spaces.

Indeco

Hydraulic efficiency of Indeco's HP Series breakers has increased across the entire range of HP breakers, improving the intelligent variable speed and power system that automatically senses the hardness of the material being broken. The breaker then automatically adjusts the impact per blow for maximum operating efficiency. The HP Series also features interchangeable performance parts to enhance the breaker's performance. The new breaker line has been completely redesigned for the smaller range of breakers with a slimmer profile for easier entry into restricted areas and narrow openings. The casing has also been super silenced to comply with night work and indoor demolition noise requirements.

New Holland

Whether digging footers, ripping up concrete, or performing general excavating work in tight spaces, the new EH15.B, EH27.B, EH30.B, EH35.B (pictured) and EH50.B are designed to have the size and power to make quick work of tough jobs. All five models feature an independent boom swing mechanism. One pump is dedicated to the swing circuit, which enables simultaneous operation of the boom, arm or bucket without any effect on swing operation. The EH.B Series models range from 3,240 pounds to 10,384 pounds and produce from 11.9 to 40.8 net hp. The new models provide bucket breakout forces up to 8,914 pounds and maximum digging depths from 6 feet, 11 inches to 11 feet, 9 inches.

John Deere

The new Deere CT 322 and CT 332 (pictured) compact track loaders feature a 2-speed transmission, hydraulic Quik-Tatch, a self-leveling bucket, high-flow hydraulics and a comfortable HVAC system. The instrumentation panel displays operating information and features sealed, easy-to-operate rocker switches. The CT 332 offers servo controls and an ergonomically shaped armrest for finger-light efforts with maximum control. Large-diameter idlers enhance the ride and durability of the steel-reinforced rubber track, while a patented undercarriage design allows the front idler and front roller to move in tandem for a smoother ride.

Robin Subaru

Models in the Silent Series generators include the R1700i at 1,650 watts, the RG3200iS at 3,200 watts and the RG4300iS (pictured) — the first-ever 4,300-watt inverter generator. The advanced inverter technology is designed to significantly reduce running sound. Conventional generator designs run the engine at full speed regardless of the amount of power being used. Robin Subaru inverter generators run the engine at a slower speed for low power use and automatically increase speed as more electrical power is required. Further sound reduction is achieved through the reverse cooling design, which allows the generators to be fully enclosed in a sound absorbing poly-resin en-closure for near silent operation.
