Improvements from previous models include 75 percent less vibration in the operator’s hands, better concrete consolidation and improved board integrity.


Mix concrete on the jobsite with Elkin mobile concrete mixers
Eliminate problems with ready-mix concrete with Elkin’s line of 1- to 10-cubic yard mobile concrete mixers. The custom-designed mixers transport sand, aggregate, water, cement and admixtures to the jobsite, where they are batched and mixed at the point of delivery to exact specifications. The mixer enables the operator to adjust precise amounts of each ingredient when raw materials enter the mixing auger. The notched auger flighting permits backflow that aids the mixing process and produces a thoroughly blended mix.


E-Z Drill system fits in 4-foot patch and drills to an 18-inch depth
E-Z Drill’s Model 210B SRA drills 5/8- to 2 1/2-inch diameter dowel holes in all types of concrete paving jobs such as patching or lane additions. The drill fits in a 4-inch patch and drills as deep as 18 inches. The Model 210B SRA requires a minimum 100 cfm of air. The drill is adjustable for vertical drilling and an adjustment for skew drilling is included.


Combihammer provides drilling power in compact package
Hilti’s new TE 50 Combihammer has a 1,050-watt motor and hammering mechanism for drilling holes up to 1 inch in diameter. The Combihammer provides a constant drilling speed despite power source fluctuations and an efficient cooling system for reliable performance and minimal downtime. The standard theft protection system has a company card, activation key and electronic module. If the tool is stolen it will lock after 20 minutes and cannot be restarted without the activation key. The Combihammer features an ergonomic design with D-grip in a lightweight, compact package.
