big-boomBIG BOOM

Lift up to three workers with Terex Aerial Work Platforms’ new Genie telescopic boom models. Available in four models – the S-60X, S-60XC, S-60 Trax and S-80X – the units feature restricted platform capacities up to 1,250 pounds. The unrestricted operating envelope has the same 500-pound capacity and outreach as the existing machine. The dual capacity feature enables the operator to select the desired maximum load capacity. A ramped boom control system provides smooth boom functions and delivers finer control, and a virtual pivot primary boom aligns the center of gravity, lowering the unit’s weight.

EDITOR’S PICK

hammerHIGH-IMPACT HAMMER

Demolish concrete structures, trench rock, building foundations, pavement and bridge decks with the Hy-Ram HR Series from Allied Construction Products. The hammer’s oil and gas operation increases efficiency through the use of low pressure nitrogen, reducing demand on the carrier’s hydraulic system and eliminating dependency on hydraulic accumulators. Pressurized oil at the bottom of the piston prevents internal cavitation. A longer piston stroke delivers higher impact power, and the long stroke design, which eliminates mechanical springs, also reduces recoil and vibration. The hammer’s housing design suspends the internal working body inside a full-box enclosure for protection and noise reduction. An auto-stop system prevents blank firing once penetration is achieved and downpressure is no longer applied. The HR Series is available in 12 different models in working widths from 265 to 8,375 pounds, with 1.77- to 6.88-inch tool diameters.
