Jenny Products

Jenny’s four wheeled-portable air compressor models feature single-stage “C” pumps and 6.5-horsepower Honda GX commercial engines. The C-series compressors deliver 9.8 CFM at 125 PSI, and are available with 8-, 15-, 17- and 30-gallon air tanks, which are powder coated and ASME certified. For maximum durability, the newly engineered “C” pumps are constructed of cast iron and are splash lubricated with Jenny “Ultimate Blue” synthetic compressor-pump oil. The pumps are belt driven with large flywheels for easy start-ups and extra cooling, and directional air shrouds help further reduce pump temperatures. Special unloading valves are also included to assist in engine starting.

Jerr-Dan

Designed and constructed by Jerr-Dan based off feedback from JLG’s customers in the rental market, the 10-ton RS Carrier is a low-profile industrial carrier designed as a high-quality equipment hauling solution for the rental industry. Designed with a lower mounted bed height, it provides easy access to loaded equipment from the ground and a lower loading/unloading angle for equipment on the bed. It features full radio remote control with driver’s side control station and hydraulic manual overrides. Other features include low-maintenance slide pads and pivot joints, LED lighting and a three-year warranty standard.

JLG

The JLG three-seat 315G and six-seat 615G utility vehicles feature 10-inch ground clearance with four-wheel drive and an independent suspension to keep all four wheels on the ground during travel, delivering superior traction and balance. While in operation, drivers can shift between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, locking the differential, for improved control. Durability is further enhanced by a rugged axle, standard skid plate, brush guard bumper, heavy-duty steel frame and powder-coated paint. The units feature a 1,000-pound cargo box, a 1,500-pound towing capacity, and removable truck bed panels that accommodate a full-size skid.

Little Wonder

The Little Wonder Optimax blower range includes eight self-propelled or push models, which feature an advanced impeller and aerodynamic design that results in 38 percent more air movement than competitive blowers, according to the OEM. Air speeds range from 143 to 179 miles per hour. The blowers’ all-steel impeller design and reverse-angled, seven-blade fan are designed for maximum airflow. Plus, the scrolled, aerodynamic air inlet maintains constant power and doesn’t clog due to intake of leaves. A large, square discharge chute rides 2 inches off of the ground, meant to yield better movement of standing water and stubborn debris.

Pettibone

Pettibone’s T944X Traverse telehandler is the only telescopic handler currently on the market with an extendable, traversing boom that moves loads by traveling horizontally, according to the OEM. This capability allows users to precisely and safely place loads forward through windows or other tight openings without having to reposition the machine. With the Traverse, the specified lift height is the landing height. This stands in contrast to a traditional fixed boom pivot, where the true landing height is generally several feet less than advertised, as operators must account for withdrawing the forks out of the load with enough rearward travel for the fork tips to clear the landing zone.

Volvo CE

Volvo Construction Equipment’s newly released L25H compact wheel loader is designed to add stability, maneuverability and versatility to any rental fleet. With a comprehensive range of attachments and the SSL Attachment bracket for use with most SSL attachments, the machine is suited to a wide variety of customers.

A video out connection still lets you record to an external device.

JCB’s 510-42 Loadall telescopic handler features a 10,000-pound maximum lift capacity and 42-foot lift height that requires no outriggers. The 510-42 is available with a JCB EcoMAX 109-horsepower engine requiring no diesel particulate filter, or a 74-horsepower engine requiring no diesel particulate filter and no diesel engine fluid. The unit is designed for 500-hour extended service intervals and simplified maintenance procedures, with all daily checks performed at ground level. Maintenance planning is enhanced by JCB’s available LiveLink telematics system, which provides machine status information to remote devices.

Little Beaver

Little Beaver’s Towable Hydraulic Earth Drill is designed to reduce operating weight by roughly 50 percent compared to traditional hydraulic drills and requires less than 20 pounds of force to pivot into digging position. The frame also eliminates torque for safe one-person drilling. The rig can be transported using a removable “no tools” towing hitch. Meanwhile, the towable drill’s 11-horsepower Honda engine delivers 22 percent more power than competitive models, according to the OEM. The unit’s 2,700-psi hydraulic system provides up to 300 foot-pounds of torque with an auger speed of 150 rpm.

Ergonomically located controls and easy-to-read electronic displays are designed to reduce operator fatigue. Safety is enhanced by ROPS/FOPS protection and high-intensity LED light clusters front and back for maximum worksite visibility. The loader features a 72-horsepower 3.3-liter Yanmar Tier 4 Final engine and the standard open-center hydraulic system provides a flow of 79 L/min. The 385B offers a breakout force of 6,699 lbf. and a load rating of 2,300 pounds. Options include 120 L/min high-flow hydraulics for more demanding implements, 2-speed operation and a self-leveling valve to provide parallel lift.

National Flooring Equipment’s 5700, all-day battery ride-on scraper is one of the company’s most powerful machines. It can work an 8- to 12-hour day on a single charge, according to the OEM. Its built-in 115-volt charging system can plug in to any outlet, and it produces no harmful fumes or hazardous by-products. Removing the 5700’s weights allows it to meet elevator weight restrictions.
