NEW PRODUCTS Ergonomic Wheels Caster Concepts introduces its new twin-wheel ergonomic TWERGO wheel. Designed for dollies and carts, manual or powered, casters with TWERGO wheels exhibit easy movement of loaded carts or vehicles. Used in many light AGV applications where ease of movement is valued and required, TWERGO's tread design minimizes friction on start up, eliminates scrubbing while turning and provides a thickness that prolongs product life with the impact resistance of a normal wheel. The wheel hub features aluminum die-cast cores. Available with two- or three-wheel options and various sizes, and tire durometer can be specified to fit a specific application. www.casterconcepts.com Big M-AX Brush Wolf introduces the 72 M-AX rotary brush-cutting machine with universal quick attach pick-up plates and a direct drive system with an 11.9 hydraulic motor and a 150-pound number 8 bearing housing. The direct drive system delivers power to the 600-pound precision balanced three-blade carrier. The 5/8-inch by 5-inch A5150 steel blades cut brush with a cutting capacity of 8 to 10 inches and deliver an updraft circulation that mulches the brush. The 72 M-AX is reinforced at all critical points and Flex-Core welded bracing gives the machine more structural strength. www.brushwolf.com Deep Scanning Capture Positions Topcon Positioning Group has added imaging capability to its direct aiming line of DS-200 motorized total stations. The DS-200i provides real-time, touch-screen video and photo imaging to capture measured positions. Using a five megapixel camera and MAGNET® software onboard, it has an intuitive interface to assist when staking out complex structures. Its design allows each measurement the option of a photo that can be tagged as an attribute. The DS-200 series can be combined with GNSS positioning for added measuring flexibility in obstructed environments. Standard additional features include Xpointing technology for quick and reliable prism acquisition, LongLink communications, TSshield™ telematics security and maintenance technology, and a rating of IP65 for water-resistant construction. www.topconpositioning.com The Hilti X-Scan system PS 1000, used in conjunction with the new PROFIS PS 1000 Premium software, makes it simple and reliable to find and mark drilling, coring or sawing locations, thus helping avoid costly damage and lost time due to hitting rebar, pipes or cables. The Hilti X-Scan system PS 1000 system has been upgraded to detect embedded objects at depths up to 18 inches, depending on permittivity of concrete. www.hilti.com Magnum Boots The Halifax is just one sample of work footwear offered by Magnum Boots.
