The Rental Show returns to Las Vegas this year at a new venue — The Sands Expo and Convention Center, which is located in the center of the famous Las Vegas strip and offers 2.25 million square feet of show floor and meeting space. The Sands is a short walk from more than 40,000 hotel rooms including The Venetian, The Palazzo, Bally Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Treasure Island and many others.
New events include “A Night in Fabulous Las Vegas” at Harrah's Las Vegas Feb. 12, which will transport attendees back to the days of the Rat Pack, and a new ARA Young Professionals Network reception at FIRST Food and Bar that is open to rental professionals between the ages of 18 and 40 as well as their parents.
Events & Tents will have a new full-day schedule on Feb. 9 and will include a fabric fashion show in the morning, followed by a lunch session with wedding designer Sasha Souza, in addition to 16 seminars specifically for those in the party/special event rental segment.
In addition to the many networking and education opportunities, 613 exhibitors will introduce new products and services over the three-day trade show Feb. 11-13. RER previews just a few on the following pages. To visit the RER staff at the show, stop by Booth 742.

The BMP8500 is powered by a 19.4-hp, three-cylinder, water-cooled Kubota diesel engine that features ECOMODE, a system that automatically idles the engine to conserve fuel during inactivity. Using Bomag's Intelligent Vibration Control to achieve consistent compaction results, the compactor has a dual exciter system and two selectable amplitudes that deliver output options of either 8,000 or 16,000 pounds of centrifugal force.

With its high frequency and heavy hitting power, the LPD-LD drives ground rods, anchors, tent spikes and fences in nearly any terrain. The new post driver accepts rods or posts from less than half an inch to 2.5 inches.

The new SkyGuard aftermarket accessory from JLG Industries is designed to provide boomlift operators with enhanced control panel protection that doesn't limit platform workspace or visibility. When activated by approximately 50 pounds of force, SkyGuard stops all functions in use at the time. The reverse functionality momentarily undoes most functions that were in use at the time of activation for less than a second's worth of time. SkyGuard can be activated from a variety of angles and provides additional protection without impeding or reducing the work envelope of the boomlift.

Bandit has partnered with New River Equipment to produce and distribute the Bandit Revolution cutter wheel and associated parts, including the SaberTooth cutting teeth, for most stump grinder makes and models. The Bandit Revolution cutter wheel is also now standard equipment for all new Bandit stump grinders. The Bandit Revolution features a spiral configuration of teeth, combined with low-profile pockets that receive minimal wear while also minimizing chip spread. The lead teeth on the wheel are set at 57 and 20 degrees to complete the spiral of the side teeth up and over the wheel's edge, allowing for a more aggressive cut that also helps move material away from the stump.

Kohler Engines expands its line of Command PRO EFI engines with the launch of new 34- and 38-hp models. The new additions are designed for end users seeking higher horsepower in conjunction with the significant fuel cost and maintenance savings. The Kohler closed-loop EFI engines include an oxygen sensor that analyzes the air/fuel mixture in the muffler. If the oxygen level strays from the ideal air/fuel mixture, the sensor triggers adjustments to the amount of fuel injected into the system. The closed-loop EFI technology has been shown to save end-users up to $600 in fuel per year when compared to a Kohler carbureted engine under comparable loads and duty cycles and based on 600 hours of annual operation.
