Flexible Funnel Untitled 1FLEXIBLE FUNNEL

Keep oils and fluids from dripping in even the tightest spots with the Form-A-Funnel draining tool from New Pig. The flexible tool bends to fit the space and then holds any shape, keeping fluids off of the shop floor and directing the flow into the drain. The Form-A-Funnel is constructed from moldable aluminum alloy and then encapsulated in thick, pliable nitrile rubber which is impervious to fluids and chemicals and handles temperatures to 425 degrees. The funnel cleans up easily by spraying it with cleaner or degreaser and wiping away residue. After use, the Form-A-Funnel stores in places traditional funnels won’t fit – including rolled up inside a toolbox. The 22-inch-long by 8.625-inch-wide size is useful for servicing large trucks and diesel equipment, and can also be used on smaller equipment, as well as generators and compressors.

Field Info Untitled 1FIELD INFORMATION

Moving building information modeling into the field, Trimble’s Field Link software suite uses a ruggedized 7-inch touch screen to give users access to field layout capabilities. In addition to performing specific layout tasks, you can document existing site conditions and view 3D design models, allowing crews to make more informed decisions when problems arise. The 3D model viewer rotates, orbits and zooms in and out. Trimble Field Link was designed for the Trimble Tablet to take advantage of a larger touch screen, additional processing power, increased storage, internet connectivity options and a full version of Windows 7. Two trade-specific versions are currently available: mechanical-electrical-plumbing and structural steel and concrete. Field Link for Structures, for example, contains modules that allow the creation of points from CAD files and the measurement of line work. The system and tablet package are currently priced at between $35,000 to $40,000.

One Pass Untitled 1ONE-PASS PLOWING

Eliminate follow-up plowing with the Sectional Sno-Plow from Artic Snow and Ice Control Products, designed for use with backhoes, skid steers, compact loaders and tractors. The LD plow has a steel moldboard design with 32-inch-wide individual sections that feature spring loaded trip edges, enabling the sections to move independently to allow the plow to contour to the surface. The sections enhance plowing efficiency while minimizing the chance of impact injuries and property damage. If the cutting edge is damaged, each section can be individually replaced, resulting in cost savings. The plow also features bolt-on mechanical side panels to prevent damage to the equipment.
