Bosch Power Tools

Bosch Power Tools' new Safe & Sound service provides the construction industry with the cutting edge Radio Frequency Identification technology necessary to gain the operational and cost savings that the next generation tool management, tracking and anti-theft applications offer. RFID technology is a durable and accurate tool tagging solution. Protected from the elements and secure within any tool, RFID tags, unlike barcode labels, cannot be damaged, rendered unreadable or simply removed. With RFID, tool crib managers can scan a tool without ever removing it from the plastic box, case or cloth bag. For companies interested in RFID and anti-theft, Bosch Safe & Sound offers the opportunity to purchase new Bosch power tools with product and serial number information already burned to passive RFID tags secured inside the tool.

Case

Case has upgraded four of its CX compact excavators to be Tier II certified while increasing engine horsepower, hydraulic pressure and hydraulic flow. The upgraded Case CX27B, CX31B, CX36B and CX50B compact excavators are equipped with a hydraulically controlled backfill blade for added machine stability and light dozing work. The newly designed backfill blade boils material in front of the blade, allowing for efficient backfilling. In addition, increased lift work range on the backfill blade improves trailer loading. Cab models have wider front glass for better sight lines and increased door width for ease of entry. The models also feature zero tail swing and a center-swing boom for maximum productivity in tight working spaces.
