Ground rods ERICO® manufactures a complete line of ERITECH® ground rods and accessories. Copperbonded ground rods provide consistent copper thickness, a nickel substrate, superior adhesion and resist corrosion better than galvanized rods, allowing for a service life of more than 35-40 years in most soils. According to ERICO, these rods exceed the requirements of ANSI®/UL® 4672004, CSA® and ANSI/NEMA® GR-1 2005. Stainless steel ground rods are said to be ideal for Hydraulic excavator Gradall Industries Inc. has introduced the Model XL 4300 III hydraulic excavator with a digging depth of 21 ft, 3 ins. and a boom reach at groundline of 30 ft, 4 ins. The machine weighs approximately 44,000 lbs and is powered by a Detroit Diesel Mercedes engine. The carrier configuration allows the machine to work efficiently in tight quarters. The entire boom tilts 220 degrees so there is no power loss during high production jobs. The boom’s telescoping action requires little overhead clearance, permitting work in tunnels. Front axle oscillation locks provide stability. Operators can perform high-production work at the front, rear or either side of the excavator without lowering the optional blade or outriggers. The four-wheel-drive undercarriage has rubber tires for mobility on rough terrain. Even while the machine is in motion, the operator can change between standard and creeper travel mode to efficiently position the machine. Axles are equipped with internal wetdisc-type service and parking brakes.
