Keytroller introduces the Vanguard hydraulic forklift scale designed to provide accuracy to within .2-percent of the rated load. The unit uses a hydraulic bypass manifold module, which is mounted behind the mast on the forklift's firewall. Hydraulic fluid (under pressure from the load) bypasses through the module where the pressure sensor reads about 150 pressure values in 5 seconds as the load slowly lowers about 20 inches. These pressure readings are averaged by the device and most of the pressure errors are removed or significantly reduced.

Kasi Infrared introduces the Pro Heat Minute Man system, which is an asphalt repair technology designed to blend new asphalt right in with the original, leaving no seam. With this technology, a two-person crew can perform a pavement restoration job in about 30 minutes, compared to traditional cut-and-fill methods that can take a five- to six-person crew up to two days, according to the manufacturer. Options for the system include an LED light, which flashes to indicate asphalt has been heated for the appropriate time to prevent burning.
