Multiquip introduces the Rammax Viper trench rollers that include an articulation and oscillation joint, which provides stability on uneven surfaces and mobility in difficult terrain. The Viper's patented Straight Compaction Technology allows the exciter system to supply equal amplitude to all four drums instead of two, and its patented Z-Shape-frame design, and offset-drums configuration ensures effective compaction.

Weighing in at nearly 25,000 pounds, the Ashland CS18-HD carry-all scraper is designed for use with high horsepower (325 hp +) rubber-tracked or wheeled tractors. The unit's standard 23.5 × 25 E3/L3 12-ply tires lower ground pressure. Longer rolling radius allows for improved flotation and operational ease in marginally wet or clay soils, as well as in sandy loams or dry topsoil.

Allied Construction

Products introduces the Hammerhead II Model HB 550, which is a self-contained hydraulic concrete slab buster designed to demolish concrete flatwork. The Hammerhead II can operate either vertically or horizontally on any concrete surface. An internal hydraulic cylinder and valve system compresses a heavy compression spring set. On the return stroke of the cylinder, the unit releases the trigger mechanism, which causes the 4-inch impact bar weighing 388 pounds to fire at the concrete with up to a 4,000-foot-pound-energy-class impact force.

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.
