“LARRY LUGS” BOLT-ON DRIVE LUGS

Tired of spending thousands of dollars for parts that break down on your CAT/ASV/Terex Small Multi-Terrain or Compact Loaders? Are you missing rubber drive lugs on the track or have plastic/rubber wheels that wear out quickly? Bair Products, Inc. has solved your problems with their line of aftermarket heavy-duty undercarriage components that will outlast the life of your current factory parts with reduced repair costs, minimal down time and the ability to fix problems in the field within minutes.

REBUILDABLE AXLE hOUSINGS.Fits CAT 267/277/287 and ASV/Terex RC 100 Multi-Terrain Loaders or similar undercarriages. These axle housings come already filled with grease and a shielded grease zerk for easy access. They will not condense water which means no more corrosion on the bearings. Idler Axles will have a dual bearing upgrade to increase its durability over common OEM axle failures. Seals are purgeable allowing the, end user to know when the housing is full.

Axles are sold individually for use with OEM wheels and/or Bair's upgraded solid alloy Idler wheels or can be bought as a complete set with only Bair's alloy wheels for complete durability and strength.

Compact Track Loader. Stop Track Derailments! Turn One and Two Factory Flange Wheels into Triple Flange with simple ad-ons. This ad-on will capture the track’s cleats at all sides. Spreads the machine’s weight and torque forces out and over the drive cleats.

Fits John Deere CTL, CAT 279C/289C/297C/299C Compact Track Loaders

SUPER hUB 2 BOLT-ON WhEEL UPGRADE KIT. CAT 247/257 & ASV/Terex 30/50/60 Undercarriages.

Upgrade your old, rubber, hubbed style wheel undercarriage with the newest Bolt-on wheel system similar to the newer CAT B Series 2 & Terex PT Undercarriages. Complete kit replaces one pair of wheels:

(100% larger axle than factory axle, 2 solid Alloy Bolt-on Wheels, 2 Greaseable steel hubs, larger tapered bearings) Bearings are grease packed and pre-load adjustable. No complex inner sleeves, bushings or 0 rings.

Rubber Track Installation Kit. Brand New on the Market! Install rubber tracks on CAT/ASV/Terex loaders Fast and Easy with hydraulic tools. Steel brackets attached to the machine’s frame. With the help of a hydraulic cylinder and porta-power, these parts will help to move the rubber track back onto the undercarriage frame in about 30 minutes.

AFTER mARKET RUBBER TRACKS. Stop buying cheaply made rubber tracks from unknown dealers. Our non-metal core track has the same durability as factory tracks for less money than the expensive equipment dealers.

“LARRY LUGS” PATENTED BOLT-ON REPLACEmENT DRIVE LUGS.Don’t throw away your track due to missing drive lugs. Larry Lugs are heavy-duty lugs that bolt onto the track in place of rubber lugs that have broken, worn, or delaminated off the track, extending the life of the track. These revolutionary lugs will outlive the track itself. Ten minutes to install in the field or shop without removing the track. Simply grind off the old lug, place a template onto the track, and drill directly into the template and track to match up your bolt holes. Using an air impact, tighten the bolts into the lug. Larry Lugs can replace all the original lugs on a track. When the life of the track is finished, remove the Larry Lugs and reinstall on different tracks.

Customers Testify Foundation Flood Vents Prevented Destruction Caused by Hurricane Sandy

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the largest Atlantic tropical system on record, Smart Vent Products, Inc. urges homeown-ers to build to the NFIP standards and beyond to minimize danger and destruction that a hurricane, flood or other natural disaster may cause.

In addition to the enormous costs of repairing homes damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, homeowners in storm-damaged areas will soon face soaring flood insurance rates and heightened standards for rebuilding. Retrofitting with compli-ant NFIP products, such as automatic flood foundation systems, not only reduces insurance premiums, but gives homeowners peace of mind that their home and family is protected from the devastating effects of a flood.

One example comes from Woodbridge, NJ where the Woodbridge Code Official reports that 35 homes were reported with col-lapsed foundations after Sandy. A Woodbridge resident (and SMART VENT customer), rebuilt his ravaged home to compliance after Hurricane Irene hit in 2011, and reported no damage after Hurricane Sandy:

"My home, along with many others on my block, was destroyed in Hurricane Irene. The tidal surge was so strong,

that the pressure of the water outside pushed against my foundation walls, causing them to give way and col-

lapse. Many on my block decided to repair, but I decided to build a new house on the same property, but this time

elevate it above the floodplain. My contractor and engineer explained to me about a product called SMART VENT,

which has built-in floats to have the doors only open to allow flood water to enter. I had five vents installed in my

new foundation walls,” said Justin Kooy of Woodbridge, NJ. “Hurricane Sandy came by 3 weeks after moving back

home, and hit my neighborhood hard. At least a dozen houses, including some just repaired after Irene, had foun-

dation collapses on my block. My foundation stood strong. Even though Sandy was a much more powerful storm,

and water levels were much higher than Irene, there was no structural damage at all. The SMART VENTS did their

job, allowing water to enter the crawl space under the home, relieving all pressure from the foundation walls. To

make things better, they even lowered my flood insurance bill!"

Certified by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) and accepted by the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency (FEMA), each standard vent model is certified for 200 square feet of flood cover-age per unit. SMART VENT provides a line of engineered openings that utilizes the best flood venting prac-tices to out perform a traditional air vent. An automatic foundation flood vent system, controlled by patented dual floats, SMART VENT automati-cally opens when flood water levels rise, without electricity and without human intervention. Temperature controlled louvers control the airflow in and out of a crawlspace on all dual function models.

“So many people out there in flood zones have the thought that their home is never going to flood. So much so that builders and homeown-ers choose not to build up to NFIP standards including going with cheap, untested air vents as their required flood openings instead of compli-ant, certified flood vents,” said Brian Shaw, Business Development Manag-er, Smart Vent Products, Inc. “Mr. Kooy from Woodbridge, NJ is just one example of thousands that saw their foundation stay intact during Hurricane Sandy, by installing SMART VENTS.

"Utilizing wet floodproofing, also known as flood vents, is not only a Building Code and NFIP Regulation for residential struc-tures, but also the most logical way to protect floodplain structures without expanding the floodplain. Wet floodproofing is also a great option for non-residential buildings, eliminating the high cost and liability of dry floodproofing.”

Building to National Floor Insurance Program (NFIP) standards and beyond after

Hurricane Irene proved to minimize damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.

Curb Roller Manufacturing president Al Armstrong was pleasantly surprised to learn a popular television show was interested featuring Curb Roller.

Late last spring, a member of the production crew from the show Today In America with Terry Bradshaw had noticed the installation of curb and gutter occurring outside the program's Florida studio. Watching the Curb Roller at work was interesting enough to prompt the show's production team to research methods of curb and gutter installation.

After watching various installation methods on YouTube, the producer thought the Curb Roller method was the best way to lay curb and gutter – and it was interesting enough to earn a spot in the 'Critical Tools' segment of Today In America; the segment will be aired later this spring.

So where did the idea for the Curb Roller come from? Mike Goodman, co-owner of Curb Roller, relays the story: “It was a hot summer day, and we were pouring curb and gutter in a subdivision. It was hard to get the guys to come to work that day because it was so hot and they knew we were going to be forming curbs by hand. There were a lot of yards of concrete to be poured. When we had finished the job, we were all hot and exhausted, and we came back to the shop that evening with a cold bottle of beer."

Goodman continues, "I said that we have got

to figure a better and easier way to do curb and gutter. If only we had a way to spin that concrete into shape, kind of like a roller screed. Al (Armstrong) took his beer bottle and turned it a little bit and said, ‘Yeah, I think we can do that’.”

That Curb Roller idea went cold for a few months. Soon after a prototype was made, but it sat idle a few more months.

"One day we were discussing the prototype that Al had made and thought it would not work because it just looked too simple," says Goodman. "After a few more months, we decided to either junk it or try it out – so we made some makeshift forms and ordered a little concrete. To our surprise, it actually worked very well."

After experimenting with it for over a year, Armstrong and Goodman 'fine-tuned' the equipment, and it was a winner, earning the title of "Most Innovative Product" at the World of Concrete's 2008 show. "That certainly helped the company get some dealers on board," said Goodman. Curb Roller continues to gain momentum in the curb and gutter market.

Lights, Camera, Action... Curb Roller Shines In The Spotlight!

The Curb Roller presents a unique concept in concrete. It is the only roller screed built exclusively for curbs. With the Curb Roller, the need for skilled laborers is greatly reduced while uniformity of the finished product is enhanced.

Ideal for small areas and places where a tight radius is required, the Curb Roller is indispensable for small contractors and works well as an additional tool for slip form pavers who need a tool for smaller areas. For more information about the

Curb Roller call 877-284-0475 or visit www.curbroller.com.

Late-model Ford Super Duty owners like their trucks. However, the recent-generation Power Stroke diesels are problem-prone. Once out of warranty, these engines' head/head gasket and other "thermal event" issues present Power Stroke owners with a difficult choice: an expensive repair bill or trading in the truck on something more reliable.

Diesel Conversion Specialist offers a solution for Ford owners who want to keep their Super Duty trucks but want time-proven power: a complete kit to install a 5.9L Cummins engine: 12-valve, 24-valve or Common Rail. Benefits include improved economy, impressive towing capability, many aftermarket performance parts and legendary durability.

The conversion can be done with the cab on the truck. No firewall, core support or floorpan modifications are necessary. The Ford radiator, fan shroud and intercooler are reused.

Conversion kits include: engine mounts, adapter plate, flex plate wiring harness modifications, bushing kits for gauges, crank and cam sensor kits, alternator mount bracket, exhaust manifold, A/C manifold, power steering pump mounting and more.

Diesel Conversion Specialists can often supply other OEM parts depending on your needs. The list includes an exhaust downpipe, intercooler tubes, throttle cable, accelerator pedal and throttle position sensor. Diesel Conversion Specialists can also supply new, used or rebuilt Cummins engines. Some customers choose to ship their trucks to Diesel Conversion Specialists and have the job professionally done.

dual-function outer ring brightens and the central LED array lights only during stop and turn functions.

“The GloLight is the stunning combination of premiere lighting technology meeting world-class styling capa-bilities,” Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optron-ics International, said. “This is a clear expression of our greatly enhanced product development capabilities.”

All the lamps in the new GloLight Series meet all FM-VSS 108 and SAE photometric requirements for visibil-ity and safety. The lamps come with a lifetime warranty and are built to be as durable as they are attractive. Lenses and housings are made of tough polycarbonate material that is sonically welded, and the lamps employ a solid-state, surface-mount device (SMD) design that protects their electronics against moisture, shock and vibration.

Optronics has leveraged advancements in diode technology and innovative optic design techniques to achieve the diffused outer ring that gives the GloLight its signature look. With their smooth, glowing outer rings and dark centers, the new lamps fundamentally change the appearance of any vehicle they adorn.

Johnson said that Optronics has been gathering qualitative marketplace data by showing the GloLight to select customers and that the new lamps have been getting rave reviews. Johnson said that OEs see the lamps as a valuable product enhancement, while fleets appreciate the high quality and reasonable price point.

“Lighting is one of the most visibly predominant fea-tures on any vehicle, and this is a completely different looking, yet highly-effective light,” Charlie Mudd, presi-dent of Vanguard National Trailer Corporation, said. “Innovation is important to Vanguard, our customers and our industry. We expect these new lights to clearly represent the innovative partnership between Van-guard and Optronics.”

GloLight Lamps will be available in flange-mount and grommet-mount versions and are expected to begin shipping on Feb. 1, 2013. The lamps are available with standard PL-3 and Weather Tight termination options, allowing them to make use of existing harness con-nections for installation flexibility and cost effective retrofitting.

The new lamps are expected to be widely embraced by the heavy-duty trailer, light-duty trailer, RV, transit and marine markets Optronics currently serves. Prod-uct information is available and may be obtained by contacting Optronics or members of its North Ameri-can distribution network.

“From a visual perspective, nobody has done much to change the round and oval shapes that comprise to-day’s stop, tail, turn lamps,” Marcus Hester, director of sales and marketing for Optronics International, said. “The GloLight stands out and changes the way vehicle lighting looks, shifting trends and broadening lighting choices along the way.”

AXION Enters Construction and Equipment Mat Market With STRUXURE™ Mats That Prove Successful in ApplicationConstruction mats widely used in $147 billion non-building construc-tion market in U.S.AXION International Holdings, Inc. a leader in recy-cled plastic and plastic composite technologies used to produce ECOTRAX™ rail ties and STRUXURE™ build-ing products, announced recently that it has launched a new product line, STRUXURE™ Construction and Equipment Mats. STRUXURE™ Construction Mats have been installed and in use by Northeast Remsco Construction, Inc. for the past few months under a joint testing agreement.

STRUXURE™ mats were initially installed on a sewer site in Old Bridge, New Jersey, where they have imme-diately proven successful, outlasting their timber-based competition. As part of the joint testing agreement, STRUXURE™ mats will be removed from Old Bridge when that construction project is completed and moved to another Northeast Resmco construction site for continued use.

Continuing the problem-solving strategy of the ECOTRAX™ line, the STRUXURE™ construction mats are more durable than timber-based models in harsh environmental conditions. The STRUXURE™ mats will not rot or absorb moisture and are extremely durable. The STRUXURE™ design takes advantage of the higher compressive and ultimate strength – as compared to mixed-hardwood products – of AXION's recycled structural composite material.

"We have been building infrastructure for more than thirty years," explained Northeast Remsco's Equip-ment Manager John Gutierrez. "We have not seen a construction mat this durable. STRUXURE™ mats exceeded our expectations."

In application for Northeast Remsco Construction, Inc., STRUXURE™ construction mats outlasted the

timber-based models that began to degrade soon after installation. With a 117,000-pound CAT 349E hydraulic excavator and 80,000-pound loaded dump truck, the STRUXURE™ mats proved durable, resisting abra-sion from the treads of the excavator. Since installation the timber-based mats have been taken out of service, while the STRUXURE™ mats show little to no signs of wear.

"It is simple. We make a tough mat for the toughest conditions," stated AXION's EVP for Building Products Dave Crane. "Lighter weight at higher performance is what we are selling."

Durability in muddy, wet conditions has been a con-sistent problem for timber-based construction mats under heavy-treaded equipment. STRUXURE™ mats excel in the harshest conditions, given that the material is impervious to moisture and salt and is resistant to abrasion, whether it is from gravel or treads on tracked construction equipment.

AXION's southern-New Jersey based distributor En-vironmental Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) made the introduction to Northeast Remsco. EIS supplied silt fence and geotextile fabric to Northeast Remsco for the project and recognized the immediate environmental benefit of applying AXION's patent-protected green technology in an industry that needed a lasting solu-tion. Traditional wood mats have a short life, need to be frequently replaced, and cause a disposal problem for the industry at the end of their useful life.

"What do you do with rotted, wooden construction mats?" asked EIS President Charles Schlapfer, "You can't do anything with them. AXION's solution is recy-clable at the end of its functional life, a life that will also greatly exceed wooden mats. This is a break-through in this industry."

Total non-building construction in the U.S., which includes public works and electrical utilities, exceeded $147 billion in 2011 and was projected to end 2012 over $151 billion. Construction and equipment mats are widely used for many infrastructure projects to access sites, such as the one in Old Bridge, New Jersey, as heavy equipment would sink into the ground or cause damage to environmentally-sensitive areas.

Talbert Manufacturing Introduces New 40-Ton Lightweight With Superloads in MindTalbert Manufacturing, a leader in the heavy-haul and specially built trailer industry, introduces its 40-Ton Lightweight Trailer. The trailer can be customized for customers who need to remain below the superload weight limit in states with 120,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) restrictions.

Each state has separate laws surrounding superloads. Generally, once a truck reaches superload status, route surveys and engineering reviews are required on roads and bridges to ensure the superload can travel the desired route without causing a hazard. Even after the permit is issued, there are further restrictions regard-ing when the load can move, usually on weekdays dur-ing daylight hours. Further, a permit is commonly valid for one trip only. Given these rules, the need for escorts and the cost of permits, most operators strive to stay below superload level for all the states through which a load will travel.

The 40-Ton Lightweight trailer can be designed for the transport of excavators, small to mid-sized dozers and other construction equipment, and it weighs just over 18,000 pounds. When paired with a truck, the unit can transport equipment at full capacity – up to 80,000 pounds – while remaining under the 120,000-pound superload limit.

To best accommodate the height of an excavator, Talbert can customize the trailer with a 22-inch deck height and a deck boom well. This six-foot-long re-cessed portion in the rear of the trailer is roughly six inches deep and plated for the bucket of an excavator. This lowers the overall height of the boom to ensure the load is a legal height.

The three-axle, 26-foot trailer features a four-beam deck design and auxiliary crossmembers for extra floor support. Talbert manufactures the trailers using 16-inch beams, consisting of T-1 flanges and 80K webs, to reduce empty weight and achieve the target trailer weight and deck height.

Talbert Manufacturing Introduces New 40-Ton Lightweight With Superloads in MindTalbert Manufacturing, a leader in the heavy-haul and specially built trailer industry, introduces its 40-Ton Lightweight Trailer. The trailer can be customized for customers who need to remain below the superload weight limit in states with 120,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) restrictions.

Each state has separate laws surrounding superloads. Generally, once a truck reaches superload status, route surveys and engineering reviews are required on roads and bridges to ensure the superload can travel the desired route without causing a hazard. Even after the permit is issued, there are further restrictions regard-ing when the load can move, usually on weekdays dur-ing daylight hours. Further, a permit is commonly valid for one trip only. Given these rules, the need for escorts and the cost of permits, most operators strive to stay below superload level for all the states through which a load will travel.

The 40-Ton Lightweight trailer can be designed for the transport of excavators, small to mid-sized dozers and other construction equipment, and it weighs just over 18,000 pounds. When paired with a truck, the unit can transport equipment at full capacity – up to 80,000 pounds – while remaining under the 120,000-pound superload limit.

To best accommodate the height of an excavator, Talbert can customize the trailer with a 22-inch deck height and a deck boom well. This six-foot-long re-cessed portion in the rear of the trailer is roughly six inches deep and plated for the bucket of an excavator. This lowers the overall height of the boom to ensure the load is a legal height.

The three-axle, 26-foot trailer features a four-beam deck design and auxiliary crossmembers for extra floor support. Talbert manufactures the trailers using 16-inch beams, consisting of T-1 flanges and 80K webs, to reduce empty weight and achieve the target trailer weight and deck height.

“The GloLight is the stunning combination of premiere lighting technology meeting world-class styling capa-bilities,” Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optron-ics International, said. “This is a clear expression of our greatly enhanced product development capabilities.”

All the lamps in the new GloLight Series meet all FM-VSS 108 and SAE photometric requirements for visibil-ity and safety. The lamps come with a lifetime warranty and are built to be as durable as they are attractive. Lenses and housings are made of tough polycarbonate material that is sonically welded, and the lamps employ a solid-state, surface-mount device (SMD) design that protects their electronics against moisture, shock and vibration.

Optronics has leveraged advancements in diode technology and innovative optic design techniques to achieve the diffused outer ring that gives the GloLight its signature look. With their smooth, glowing outer rings and dark centers, the new lamps fundamentally change the appearance of any vehicle they adorn.

Johnson said that Optronics has been gathering qualitative marketplace data by showing the GloLight to select customers and that the new lamps have been getting rave reviews. Johnson said that OEs see the lamps as a valuable product enhancement, while fleets appreciate the high quality and reasonable price point.

“Lighting is one of the most visibly predominant fea-tures on any vehicle, and this is a completely different looking, yet highly-effective light,” Charlie Mudd, presi-dent of Vanguard National Trailer Corporation, said. “Innovation is important to Vanguard, our customers and our industry. We expect these new lights to clearly represent the innovative partnership between Van-guard and Optronics.”

GloLight Lamps will be available in flange-mount and grommet-mount versions and are expected to begin shipping on Feb. 1, 2013. The lamps are available with standard PL-3 and Weather Tight termination options, allowing them to make use of existing harness con-nections for installation flexibility and cost effective retrofitting.

The new lamps are expected to be widely embraced by the heavy-duty trailer, light-duty trailer, RV, transit and marine markets Optronics currently serves. Prod-uct information is available and may be obtained by contacting Optronics or members of its North Ameri-can distribution network.

“From a visual perspective, nobody has done much to change the round and oval shapes that comprise to-day’s stop, tail, turn lamps,” Marcus Hester, director of sales and marketing for Optronics International, said. “The GloLight stands out and changes the way vehicle lighting looks, shifting trends and broadening lighting choices along the way.”

AXION Enters Construction and Equipment Mat Market With STRUXURE™ Mats That Prove Successful in ApplicationConstruction mats widely used in $147 billion non-building construc-tion market in U.S.AXION International Holdings, Inc. a leader in recy-cled plastic and plastic composite technologies used to produce ECOTRAX™ rail ties and STRUXURE™ build-ing products, announced recently that it has launched a new product line, STRUXURE™ Construction and Equipment Mats. STRUXURE™ Construction Mats have been installed and in use by Northeast Remsco Construction, Inc. for the past few months under a joint testing agreement.

STRUXURE™ mats were initially installed on a sewer site in Old Bridge, New Jersey, where they have imme-diately proven successful, outlasting their timber-based competition. As part of the joint testing agreement, STRUXURE™ mats will be removed from Old Bridge when that construction project is completed and moved to another Northeast Resmco construction site for continued use.

Continuing the problem-solving strategy of the ECOTRAX™ line, the STRUXURE™ construction mats are more durable than timber-based models in harsh environmental conditions. The STRUXURE™ mats will not rot or absorb moisture and are extremely durable. The STRUXURE™ design takes advantage of the higher compressive and ultimate strength – as compared to mixed-hardwood products – of AXION's recycled structural composite material.

"We have been building infrastructure for more than thirty years," explained Northeast Remsco's Equip-ment Manager John Gutierrez. "We have not seen a construction mat this durable. STRUXURE™ mats exceeded our expectations."

In application for Northeast Remsco Construction, Inc., STRUXURE™ construction mats outlasted the

timber-based models that began to degrade soon after installation. With a 117,000-pound CAT 349E hydraulic excavator and 80,000-pound loaded dump truck, the STRUXURE™ mats proved durable, resisting abra-sion from the treads of the excavator. Since installation the timber-based mats have been taken out of service, while the STRUXURE™ mats show little to no signs of wear.

"It is simple. We make a tough mat for the toughest conditions," stated AXION's EVP for Building Products Dave Crane. "Lighter weight at higher performance is what we are selling."

Durability in muddy, wet conditions has been a con-sistent problem for timber-based construction mats under heavy-treaded equipment. STRUXURE™ mats excel in the harshest conditions, given that the material is impervious to moisture and salt and is resistant to abrasion, whether it is from gravel or treads on tracked construction equipment.

AXION's southern-New Jersey based distributor En-vironmental Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) made the introduction to Northeast Remsco. EIS supplied silt fence and geotextile fabric to Northeast Remsco for the project and recognized the immediate environmental benefit of applying AXION's patent-protected green technology in an industry that needed a lasting solu-tion. Traditional wood mats have a short life, need to be frequently replaced, and cause a disposal problem for the industry at the end of their useful life.

"What do you do with rotted, wooden construction mats?" asked EIS President Charles Schlapfer, "You can't do anything with them. AXION's solution is recy-clable at the end of its functional life, a life that will also greatly exceed wooden mats. This is a break-through in this industry."

Total non-building construction in the U.S., which includes public works and electrical utilities, exceeded $147 billion in 2011 and was projected to end 2012 over $151 billion. Construction and equipment mats are widely used for many infrastructure projects to access sites, such as the one in Old Bridge, New Jersey, as heavy equipment would sink into the ground or cause damage to environmentally-sensitive areas.

"Our strategy is to enter markets where our superior green technology provides a solution," explained AX-ION CEO Steve Silverman, "When I visited the site with the inventor of our technology, Tom Nosker, Ph.D., we knew immediately how well our STRUXURE™ mats perform – that we are providing a valuable solution to a difficult problem: degradation of supplies at a construc-tion site."

With access to remote areas proving difficult for heavy equipment, construction mats are used to facilitate development of infrastructure, from oil and gas pipe-line to sewer lines. When timber-based mats degrade, access is limited, causing delays in the completion of critical infrastructure projects.

"It is clear that our STRUXURE™ mats will outlast others in the market today. We make tough mats! I saw it at the site in Old Bridge, and I believe that our value in the construction of tomorrow's infrastructure will be realized today," added Silverman.

New Curb Fox 5000T-HD Offers More VersatilityThe improved Curb Fox 5000T-HD slipformer now paves wider and higher sections. With new heavy-duty tracks, added horsepower, and weight, the 5000T-HD slipforms pavement up to 10 feet wide, and barriers up to 39 inches high.

Heavier tracks allow the weight of the 5000T to be increased by almost 50%. This added traction and sta-bility give the Curb Fox even greater versatility. Engine size is also increased to a 67HP diesel engine.

The tracks on the Curb Fox 5000T-HD measure 74 inches long, by 9 inches wide and by 15 inches high. Overall machine weight of the 5000T with the heavy-duty tracks has been increased to 14,000 lbs. But the highly mobile CF5000T-HD still transports at legal width of 8.5 feet, and it still turns down to two feet.

Production with the 5000T-HD has surpassed any other slipformer in its class. On 36 inch wide barrier pads, the Curb Fox 5000T-HD has paved over 10,000

feet in a day. Paving speeds on 8 foot wide pavement have averaged over 10 feet per minute.

The CF5000T-HD will also slipform large curb and gutter, or channel, sections up to 39 inches wide in the offset position. It handles virtually any below pavement and uneven grade applications.

To learn more about the new capabilities of the Curb Fox 5000T-HD and all Curb Fox slipformers, call 704-638-0405 or watch videos of the equipment at work at www.curbfox.com/videos.

New Work Gloves Made with 3M™ Gripping Material Take Hold in Most SituationsTwo-part system provides up to a 270% improvement in friction.3M announced recently the introduction of Work Gloves made with 3M™ Gripping Material that deliver greater productivity and performance with less effort. Work Gloves made with 3M™ Gripping Material can provide up to a 270 percent improvement in fric-tion when used as a two-part system and are ideal for anyone — from construction and industrial workers, to weekend warriors — who need a better grip especially in wet or oily conditions.

Comprised of thousands of micro fingers, the 3M™ Gripping Material, which is incorporated into the work gloves, enhances traction and hold on many tools and pieces of equipment. This means, reduced slippage, fewer dropped tools and improved productivity with less fatigue. The Work Gloves can be used alone, or as a two-part system, which mates the gloves with tools or piece of equipment wrapped with 3M™ Gripping Mate-rial tape. The two-part system significantly improves friction over traditional leather gloves and wraps. In addition, the Work Gloves are resistant to abrasion and punctures so they stand up to the demands of the fac-tory and in the field.

“Not being able to properly grip tools because of wet or oily conditions can be frustrating,” said Tanya Richert, global marketing development manager, 3M Indus-trial Adhesives and Tapes Division. “Whether you are handling a jackhammer, hand-tightening an oil filter in your garage, shifting levers in a plant or cutting tree limbs in your backyard, grip performance is always a concern. Work Gloves made with 3M™ Gripping Mate-rial bring science and better grip performance to any job by allowing the users the ability to grip lighter, not tighter.”

In a 3M-sponsored study, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that using 3M™ Gripping Material under dry conditions reduced required grip force by an average of 24 percent. Using 3M™ Gripping Material for twisting tasks, oil-saturated surfaces reduced the

average grip force needed by 56 percent.

3M™ Gripping Material is available for a wide-range of applications. In addition to work gloves and tape, golf gloves and batting gloves are also available for situa-tions where a strong grip offers a performance advan-tage.

To purchase work gloves made with 3M™ Gripping Material, visit www.Shop3M.com/gripping.

"Our strategy is to enter markets where our superior green technology provides a solution," explained AX-ION CEO Steve Silverman, "When I visited the site with the inventor of our technology, Tom Nosker, Ph.D., we knew immediately how well our STRUXURE™ mats perform – that we are providing a valuable solution to a difficult problem: degradation of supplies at a construc-tion site."

With access to remote areas proving difficult for heavy equipment, construction mats are used to facilitate development of infrastructure, from oil and gas pipe-line to sewer lines. When timber-based mats degrade, access is limited, causing delays in the completion of critical infrastructure projects.

"It is clear that our STRUXURE™ mats will outlast others in the market today. We make tough mats! I saw it at the site in Old Bridge, and I believe that our value in the construction of tomorrow's infrastructure will be realized today," added Silverman.

New Curb Fox 5000T-HD Offers More VersatilityThe improved Curb Fox 5000T-HD slipformer now paves wider and higher sections. With new heavy-duty tracks, added horsepower, and weight, the 5000T-HD slipforms pavement up to 10 feet wide, and barriers up to 39 inches high.

Heavier tracks allow the weight of the 5000T to be increased by almost 50%. This added traction and sta-bility give the Curb Fox even greater versatility. Engine size is also increased to a 67HP diesel engine.

The tracks on the Curb Fox 5000T-HD measure 74 inches long, by 9 inches wide and by 15 inches high. Overall machine weight of the 5000T with the heavy-duty tracks has been increased to 14,000 lbs. But the highly mobile CF5000T-HD still transports at legal width of 8.5 feet, and it still turns down to two feet.

Production with the 5000T-HD has surpassed any other slipformer in its class. On 36 inch wide barrier pads, the Curb Fox 5000T-HD has paved over 10,000

feet in a day. Paving speeds on 8 foot wide pavement have averaged over 10 feet per minute.

The CF5000T-HD will also slipform large curb and gutter, or channel, sections up to 39 inches wide in the offset position. It handles virtually any below pavement and uneven grade applications.

To learn more about the new capabilities of the Curb Fox 5000T-HD and all Curb Fox slipformers, call 704-638-0405 or watch videos of the equipment at work at www.curbfox.com/videos.

New Work Gloves Made with 3M™ Gripping Material Take Hold in Most SituationsTwo-part system provides up to a 270% improvement in friction.3M announced recently the introduction of Work Gloves made with 3M™ Gripping Material that deliver greater productivity and performance with less effort. Work Gloves made with 3M™ Gripping Material can provide up to a 270 percent improvement in fric-tion when used as a two-part system and are ideal for anyone — from construction and industrial workers, to weekend warriors — who need a better grip especially in wet or oily conditions.

Comprised of thousands of micro fingers, the 3M™ Gripping Material, which is incorporated into the work gloves, enhances traction and hold on many tools and pieces of equipment. This means, reduced slippage, fewer dropped tools and improved productivity with less fatigue. The Work Gloves can be used alone, or as a two-part system, which mates the gloves with tools or piece of equipment wrapped with 3M™ Gripping Mate-rial tape. The two-part system significantly improves friction over traditional leather gloves and wraps. In addition, the Work Gloves are resistant to abrasion and punctures so they stand up to the demands of the fac-tory and in the field.

“Not being able to properly grip tools because of wet or oily conditions can be frustrating,” said Tanya Richert, global marketing development manager, 3M Indus-trial Adhesives and Tapes Division. “Whether you are handling a jackhammer, hand-tightening an oil filter in your garage, shifting levers in a plant or cutting tree limbs in your backyard, grip performance is always a concern. Work Gloves made with 3M™ Gripping Mate-rial bring science and better grip performance to any job by allowing the users the ability to grip lighter, not tighter.”

In a 3M-sponsored study, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that using 3M™ Gripping Material under dry conditions reduced required grip force by an average of 24 percent. Using 3M™ Gripping Material for twisting tasks, oil-saturated surfaces reduced the

average grip force needed by 56 percent.

3M™ Gripping Material is available for a wide-range of applications. In addition to work gloves and tape, golf gloves and batting gloves are also available for situa-tions where a strong grip offers a performance advan-tage.

heating & cooling solutionsheating & cooling solutions

Challenges of natural ventilation systems

Natural ventilation is ideal; however, these systems come with their own inherent challenges.

• Maintaining uniform tempera-tures is difficult

With a natural ventilation system, you must constantly monitor humidity and temperature. In the summer, it can be difficult to cool down the interior of a large warehouse if a breeze isn’t blow-ing. If you live in areas of high humidity, opening doors and windows is simply not an option. In the winter, it may be too cold, yet keeping them closed causes heat build up.

• Building must be oriented cor-rectly

To take advantage of prevailing natu-ral conditions, a warehouse must be oriented correctly. However, this is not always possible, given individual outside terrain and logistics considerations. The area around the warehouse must be

free of obstructions to allow for the free flow of air, while storage inside must be conducive as well.

• Build up of condensation

On high humidity days, water vapor is released into a building. Water vapor moves independently of air and always flows to the coldest point, such as con-crete floors, which cool down at night. Once the concrete slab reaches dew point as temperatures increase, con-densation is formed on the floor, which poses real safety hazards to people and machinery.

Condensation on roof beams can also drip to the floor and surfaces, causing discomfort for people, and damage to machinery and materials.

HVLS Fans Provide Superior Ventilation

HVLS fans work in tandem with natural ventilation or HVAC systems, and also reduce or eliminate many of the chal-lenges associated with these systems

while offering significant energy efficien-cies and significantly lowering HVAC costs.

By continuously mixing incoming fresh air with stale air, HVLS fans minimize the total amount of ventilation required to achieve adequate air quality, and uses less energy. HVLS technology also helps keep employees comfortable, safe and productive, and with balanced and controlled temperatures, product and machinery are also within an optimal environment.

• How HVLS fans work

For some people, the slow movement of an HVLS fan is deceptive — how can such a slow moving fan cool down em-ployees or provide superior ventilation? You don’t need a physics degree to know that a breeze moving across your skin on a hot day feels good, especially in humid environments.

While a cool breeze brushing over hot skin feels good, high volume air move-ment can be both unpleasant and disruptive. And, air speed beyond four

or five mph usually offers little, if any, additional cooling benefits.

The reason why a large, slow moving fan actually cools better and more efficiently than a small, high-speed fan is due to the large column of air, “traveling” farther than a small one.

Through HVLS technology, when the down column of air from an HVLS fan reaches the floor, the air turns in the horizontal direction away from the column in all directions. The air flow-ing outward is called the “horizontal floor jet.” Since the height of the floor jet is determined by the diameter of the column of air, a larger diameter fan naturally produces a larger air column and thus a higher floor jet.

Smaller high-speed fans are incapable of producing the same effect.

Airspeed, combined with fan “effective-ness,” means that very large, low-speed commercial fans are enormously more efficient and effective than small high-speed fans.

Since developing the first HVLS prototype in 1998, MacroAir continues to serve as an HVLS industry leader through its commitment to innovation and design of the most durable and cost-effective commer-cial ceiling fans on the market. As the “engineers of air,™” MacroAir produces energy-efficient, long-lasting HVLS fans that can be found in barns, warehouses, manufacturing plants, airplane hangars and retail establishments across the U.S. and around the world, and are used by companies such as Coca-Cola, CSX Transportation and NAPA Auto Parts. The company is the exclusive HVLS fan supplier for inde-pendent auto dealerships of BMW, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota under their Dealer Equipment Programs. To learn more about the HVLS industry and MacroAir’s line of HVLS fans, visit www.macroairfans.com or call 866-668-3247. Find the company on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, and engage with MacroAir experts via LinkedIn and Google+.

How Warehouse Ventilation Benefits from High Volume, Low Speed Fans –by Eddie Boyd, president of MacroAir | www.macroairfans.com

Indoor air quality is important whether you work in a warehouse or a barn. Indoor air, when it isn’t continuously mixed with fresh air, becomes stuffy and smelly.

With high ceilings and vast storage areas that are in constant flux due to stock movement and distribution, large warehouses face ongoing ventilation and tem-perature battles.

Natural ventilation can help maintain good air quality, but this presents numer-ous other natural challenges – namely, it’s difficult to maintain a uniform air temperature. And while HVAC systems and box fans can help with distributing air and maintaining temperatures, they consume vast amounts of energy and are expensive to run. Plus, you’d need numerous box fans to cool down such a large space, which can become a hazard.

To maintain indoor air quality and increase the comfort level and productivity of employees, high volume, low speed (HVLS) large-size commercial ceiling fans should be looked to as an efficient and cost-effective solution.

Benefits of Using HVLS Fans in Barn Applications

HVLS fans impart a number of benefits to business owners and facility managers including lower energy costs. In addition to supplementing natural ventila-tion or HVAC systems, HVLS fans also reduce or eliminate inherent challenges.

• Improved ventilation and indoor air quality

Although a building, including a warehouse, may have an air exhaust system in place, these systems often fail to thoroughly mix all of the inside air. This type of system gets short circuited as doors or windows are opened and closed. Air pressure created in the suction of the exhaust looks to the path of least resistance and circumvents the intake devices. HVLS fans eliminate this problem as they continuously mix incoming fresh air, vastly improving indoor air quality.

• Eliminate condensation buildup

Because HVLS fans constantly mix air from roof to floor, a constant state of thermal equilibrium exists inside the building – and hence, condensation doesn’t form on the roof beams or floor, eliminating conden-sation dripping on product or machinery, as well as helping to ensure the floor stays dry and safe.

• Provide heat destratification

In the winter months, when “warm air rises” the effect can cost an additional 25 percent or more since more heat is required to maintain floor level temperatures. Why so much? The rate of heat loss or transmission through the roof accounts for roughly 70 percent of the transmission losses inherent in all structures. The objective, then, is to even out the temperature gradi-ent from floor to ceiling in order to reduce heat loss.

The unique feature of HVLS fans is that they can run in reverse, which pushes the warm air at the top of the structure down to the floor effectively and efficiently evening out temperature throughout the warehouse. The result is that one HVLS fan applied to 20,000 square feet of indoor space can easily return 20 per-cent of heating energy dollars.

How to Choose the Right HVLS Fan

HVLS fans are incredibly energy efficient — one HVLS fan can replace up to 50 high-speed box fans while covering up to 20,000 square feet of facility space.

Which size HVLS fan should you choose? This de-pends on the size of your facility and its height. To maintain continuous air exchange, add one HVLS fan per 20,000 square feet of space. The bigger the HVLS fan, the more air it can move over a larger space.

MacroAir, originator of the HVLS technology in 1998 as a solution for cooling dairy cows and increasing milk production, today remains a leading manu-facturer of HVLS fans in 8’ to 24’ in diameter. The company provides a number of calculator applications on its website that, upon entering specific building specifications, help determine the right MacroAir fan (or fans) to achieve optimal air movement and results: macroairfans.com/fan-calculators/.

MacroAir fans using the company’s patented 6ix-Blade™ technology have proved to lower heating and cooling costs by as much as 20 percent in a variety of building settings.

Designed for easy installation

to the exterior of a commercial

HVAC unit, Linear’s Copper

Cop includes a unique wire

harness and patent-pending

spring-loaded clips enclosed in a

durable bright yellow casing that

provides “Protected by Copper

Cop” warning signage to deter

would-be thieves. As simple as it

is effective, the Copper Cop goes

to work when anyone tries to

remove the HVAC cover or disarm

the unit. If breached, Copper Cop

connects to a local siren while also

transmitting an alarm signal to

a Linear or other security system

which then alerts the proper

authorities.

Copper Cop has advantages over

existing HVAC metal security solutions as well.

Since it is an alarm activation device, licensed

security system installers can retrofit existing

HVAC units without needing an HVAC installer’s

license or an electrician’s license. Security system

installers can install Copper Cop for commercial

customers directly, or work with HVAC contractors

to install and monitor. Integrating with existing

alarm panels is easily accomplished with Linear’s

wireless Transmitter/Receiver Pair (DXS-31 / DXS-

702).

Copper and metal thefts are especially destructive

because the cost of repair, replacement and

insurance premium increases far exceed the value

of stolen metal. A $10,000 HVAC unit can be

rendered useless when the $75 worth of copper

tubing is removed. This imbalance makes simple,

affordable solutions like the Copper Cop even more

appealing.

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau

(NCIB), metal thefts have increased 81 percent

since 2008, with copper by far the most frequently

stolen material. Critical infrastructure sources like

traffic lights and railway signals, farm equipment,

construction sites and unoccupied buildings have

all been targeted by thieves willing to risk personal

safety and cause tens of thousands of dollars in

damage for a few hundred dollars worth of metal.

“We’ve seen countless cases of schools, businesses,

churches and construction sites targeted by metal

thieves, often because of inadequate security,” said

Duane Paulsen, senior vice president of product

and market development for Linear. “Copper Cop is

the simplest, most affordable and effective solution

to combat copper theft because it provides a visual

deterrent on the HVAC unit, an audio deterrent with

the siren, and an immediate security response via

integration with existing security systems.”

Even the federal government recognizes the threat

caused by metal theft in an unclassified FBI

intelligence assessment that states, “Copper thieves

are threatening US critical infrastructure...and

present a risk to both public safety and national

security.”

• Slated to build over $109 million in projects over the next 24 months across the U.S. and at locations abroad.

• Rosa Parks condo complex—the company’s flagship project in Detroit representing the first multi-family dwelling constructed from retired shipping containers in the United States—is now “shovel ready” with an approved $603K tax credit; project approved for buyer’s with $25K down payment assistance available. This 20-unit, four-story condo-minium complex spans 26,000 square feet and integrates 93 shipping containers. The energy efficient systems include ductless heating and air system, tank-less water heaters, and other amenities that combine to reduce each unit’s energy costs by up to 80%;

• Scheduled to break ground on Model Center November 2012 with com-pletion slated for January 2013; will be ready to accept purchase agree-ments to company’s Rosa Parks and Michigan Ave. projects;

• $4.5 million Lake Tahoe recreational cabin project, which includes construction of 65 recreational cabins on 67 acres of prime Lake Tahoe property;

• Launched patented Cargolinc™ Systems–a first-of-its-kind proprietary 3 step process that provides architects, builders/developers, and private owners with a comprehensive three-step process that surpasses green and sustainable construction and quality standards at a fraction of the cost and time, allowing for higher quality luxury finishes within budget; and

• Multiple patent filings in process.

“We are the perfect solution to construction for all types of projects,” notes Leslie Horn, CEO of Three Squared. “With the U.S. new construction indus-try desperate for ways to cut costs without undermining quality, green home construction gaining significant momentum, and a growth rate from $49 bil-lion to $140 billion (representing 20% of new construction) forecasted over the next five years, shipping container-based construction is an extraordi-narily well-positioned solution. This is especially true for America’s multi-family, mixed use, and commercial markets that are completely underserved even as demand for this segment rises. For these reasons and more, our cargo container-based building options are being extremely well received in both the domestic and international marketplace as our recent array of milestones exemplify. We love Detroit and are thrilled to be building there and help lead turning both the city’s and our nation’s economy around.”

Detroit, struggling to keep its proverbial head above water with the collapse of U.S. steel and auto industry and often avoided as a corporate headquarters locale, has a long history of firsts that have impacted the country greatly. In our American culture Detroit has a proud history. With its civic pride return-ing and sports teams on the comeback, many companies are eyeing the city as choice geography. Whole Foods, for example, is opening its first store there, and Quicken Loans is creating new jobs and leading the pack of encouraging downtown Detroit employees to move to Detroit by offering financial incen-tives and down-payment assistance programs. Detroit is perfectly positioned to be the home of Three Squared’s first projects.

“Detroit was selected as our headquarters because of the state and local gov-

Shipping Container Construction Gains Significant Ground with Mixed Use Builders Across Globe

Design is only limited by imagination, not expense.Three Squared uses retired shipping containers as its primary framing material for new construction. Made of steel and wood, this product is stronger than conventional framing, stackable for creating levels, and readily available. The excess containers on the market significantly reduce the compara-tive cost. With a price tag as low as $900 each, used shipping containers offer a relatively inexpensive construction medium. Even when purchased new, shipping containers rarely cost more than $6,000. Cargo containers may, in fact, be considered the ideal building material as they are strong, resistant to the elements, durable and versatile. Construction is accomplished by simply positioning them.

While new “brick and mortar” construction continues to decline amid economic woes and as lumber—the primary new construction material—is harvested faster than it can be replenished to devastating environmental effect, for-ward-thinking real estate development company Three Squared™, Inc. has made exceptional progress with its cargo container residential and commercial construction initiatives due to escalating marketplace acceptance and demand driven by superior cost efficiencies, heightened profitability, and minimized build time. The company, whose pioneer-ing shipping container building solution offers systemized and sustainable construction resulting in affordable luxury, announced an array of significant company projects and other milestones, as follows.

MARCH 2013erning bodies’ positive leadership, proactive attitude, and commitment to becoming an environmental leader in the 21st century,” Horn said. “Land costs are also very reasonable, allowing us to yield attractive margins while keeping our prices to con-sumers affordable. We love Detroit and are thrilled to be building there and help lead turning both the city’s and our nation’s economy around.”

“Our company marries the trend toward sustainable green housing solutions with the problems of escalating building costs and a surplus of unlikely yet durable, versatile, widely available, economical and code-friendly shipping containers, which we use as the primary material for construction framing of houses, condominiums, dormito-ries and other residential, retail, and commercial structures,” Horn continues. “In fact, our cargo container-based construction costs an average of half of other building methods. The structures take a fraction of the time to build and are more energy ef-ficient than their counterparts because of a high-purposed combination of new tech-nologies our team is creating and blending together. What’s more, our buildings provide an elegant balance of simplicity with inherent character and personalized style in each wall. Design is only limited by imagination, not expense. In addition, residents and tenants alike know that their walls have traveled the world and have a story to tell. They’ve seen the ocean and other countries and have stood the test of time.”

Given the range of benefits and advantages, architects, contractors, and individuals are increasingly using containers to build homes, offices, apartments, schools, dor-mitories, artists’ studios, emergency shelters and shops across the world. They are commonly used to provide temporary secure spaces on construction sites and add earthquake resistance to any structure. Europe, China, and New Zealand have suc-cessfully pioneered building sustainable living in great numbers utilizing shipping containers. As one example, Travelodge, a global leader in budget hotel lodging, celebrated the 4th anniversary of their completed hotel in Uxbridge, U.K. The proj-ect used shipping containers and came in 10% under alternative building estimates, saving them approximately $900,000 in American currency on the construction.

Why Cargo Container-Based Construction? The Problem:

As the primary material used in new construction, lumber is a precious commodity that is harvested faster than it can be replenished. According to the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), trees process significantly more carbon dioxide through absorption before it has a chance to reach the upper atmosphere. The removal of trees without sufficient reforestation has resulted in devastating habitat damage, biodiversity loss, aridity, soil erosion and bio-sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Concurrently, retired shipping containers are abundant in the United States. It is estimated that a staggering 21,000 shipping containers arrive in the United States every day. Port authorities estimate that over 700,000 used shipping containers are stockpiled on prime waterfront real estate without a significant use, purpose, or method for disposal. Many cargo containers originate from China and are used only on their maiden voyage overseas because it is actually cheaper for China to build a new shipping container than it is to ship the container back to China for reuse. Since the U.S. imports many more manufactured goods than it exports in shipping containers, most remain here, wasting precious space in our ports and landfill. Con-sequently, the U.S. has a surplus of “empties” which is made available for alternative uses, such as building.

The Shipping Container Construction Solution:

Three Squared uses retired shipping containers as its primary framing material for new construction. Made of steel and wood, this product is stronger than conventional framing, stackable for creating levels, and readily available. The excess containers on the market significantly reduce the comparative cost. With a price tag as low as $900 each, used shipping containers offer a relatively inexpensive construction medium. Even when purchased new, shipping containers rarely cost more than $6,000. Cargo containers may, in fact, be considered the ideal building material as they are strong, resistant to the elements, durable and versatile. Construction is accomplished by simply positioning them. The containers’ modular design makes additional construc-tion as easy as stacking more containers up to 12 high. The interlocking mechanism of the containers facilitates mobility so that structures made from them can be easily disassembled, moved, and reassembled.

JCB Machines To Help Unearth Buried Wartime Spitfires

It is another great Staffordshire engineer, Reginald Mitchell, who is famous for designing the Spitfire. He was born in 1895 in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire and educated at Hanley High School, Stoke-on-Trent.

Sir Anthony Bamford said: “Reginald Mitchell put Staffordshire on the map in the 1930s with the design of the Spitfire so it’s very fitting that JCB, a modern day innovator and engineering company based in the county, should be providing the excavators to dig up the planes.”

Oliver Keates, who has worked for JCB for 14 years, said: “I’m excited at the prospect of being involved in this project. It’s going to be thrilling to be at the controls of JCB machines attempting to unearth a Spitfire.”

Businessman Julian Mitchell, of Newcastle, Staffordshire, who is Reginald’s great-nephew said: “I’m delighted that JCB is involved in helping recover the Spitfires. Staffordshire is a great manufacturing county and I’m sure my

great-uncle would have been pleased that a modern-day British engineering success story was playing such an important role in this project.”

The dig is getting underway after a 17 year search for the Spitfires led by aviation enthusiast David Cundall. Award-winning on-line games developer Wargaming is funding the efforts to recover the buried Spitfires.

The JCB 3CX backhoe loader is the world’s most versatile piece of construction equipment and is one of the biggest selling machines thanks to its ability to load, road and excavate. It weighs in at 17,000 pounds, has a top speed of 25mph and a bucket capacity of 1.4 cu yd. JCB has made more than half a million backhoes since 1953. The JS200 tracked excavator being used in the dig weighs in at 20 metric ton, is powered by a 172hp engine and can dig to a depth of 21.8 feet.

––––––––––––––––––––––––Premium rubber protection available for construction equipmentAge-Master #1® rubber protectant is a surface treatment that has protected military, industrial, aviation and space equipment from rubber “dry rot” since 1969. This protection against cracking, loss of strength and flexibility is now available for construction equipment.

When painted onto tires, tracks, hoses, belts, bushings, or other rubber parts, it penetrates and dries in minutes, leaving no slick or oily residue. The strength, flexibility and traction properties of rubber are not affected, and this penetrating protection will not peel or wash off.

Put science to work for you.

Rubber “dry rot” is caused by UV rays, oxidation, and ozone in the environment. Age-Master #1® works by adding a chemical barrier to rubber that reacts with these harmful elements before rubber can be damaged. This protection is especially effective for equipment exposed to hot, sunny environments.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VMAC RAPTAIR60 Stand-Alone Diesel Drive Air CompressorCreated specifically for the mobile market, VMAC’s RAPTAIR60 system delivers true 60CFM at 100 PSI. Utilizing VMAC’s state-of-the-art Intelligent Digital Controls, the 100% duty cycle RAPTAIR60 turns itself on and off in response to air tool demand, contributing significantly to reduced idling and fuel costs as well as a greener environmental profile while still packing enough muscle to power up to a 60 lb. jackhammer or a 1-1/4” impact wrench. Measuring a compact 18”W x 34.5”L x 28”H and weighing just 450 lbs. this system is significantly lighter than the nearest competitor offering.

One of VMAC’s first RAPTAIR customers, Kade Van Shaik, of Highway Tire in Nanaimo, B.C. was delighted with the diesel-drive system. “It delivers good power, and it’s basically unstoppable! Turn it on, start it, do your job, shut it off - it’s a no-brainer.

Melvin Hoover joined Gehman Bros in 1973 to work in their diesel division and in 1974 bought the Petter Diesel aspect of the company and renamed the company Hoover Diesel Service. Two years later, in 1976, the business was moved to a larger facility for a higher parts stock and more engine storage space. Distributorship of the Lombardini Diesels was taken on at the same time.

In 1985, the Lister company and the Petter Diesel company merged, giving us access to the Lister-Petter line of diesels. With the added capacity of selling both Lombardini and Lister-Petter engines, and after several additional employees, it was decided to build a 9,000 square foot structure in 1986. It included a dedicated engine rebuilding department, larger parts department, and a road service bay.

In 1992 we were introduced to the Iveco Industrial dealership, which gave us access to an excellent line of diesels. 2005 brought on two more dealerships, as we added John Deere and Yanmar to our collection. With our ever increasing stock of parts, along with the generator sales, our facility gradually filled up. In 2011 we opened our brand new 31,000 square foot building.

Generators

Hoover Diesel Service has a large selection of generators in stock, both the double bearing belt driven style and the single bearing SAE housing mount. We also stock parts to keep your unit operating and provide field service to repair or maintain your generator. Give us a call to find the best generator to fit your application.

You can’t compare it to a reciprocating compressor because they’re like apples and oranges - completely different. The Raptair is way more efficient. I get twice the work done in half the time.” He added, “They call it ‘The Beast’, but I don’t know... if it had legs I’d probably be out of work!”

New in the RAPTAIR assembly line and coming Spring 2013 is the RAPTAIR Multifunction.Combining an air compressor, AC generator, welder, battery charger, hydraulics and auto-shutdown in one compact, powerful package, the new RAPTAIR Multifunction is the ultimate job site “utility belt”!

A close shave has been coveted for thousands of years. It all started in the Stone Age, when sharpened flint-blade razors edged out the earlier Neanderthal tool for hair removal: seashells. Egyptians obsessed over hair removal in 3,000 B.C., regarding a clean-shaven face as a sign of good breeding. They used razors, creams, and pumice stones.

In 330 B.C., Greeks and Romans emulated the Egyptians by shaving their heads and beards during the reign of Alexander the Great.

Across the ocean, Aztecs shaved with razors made from volcanic glass (obsidian) in the 1500s. Then came the breakthrough: In the late 1600s, steel blades were introduced in Sheffield, England. Fast-forward to 1929, when Col. Jacob Schick marketed the first electric shaver.

In the 1960s, disposable razors hit the market, and in 1971, Gillette began selling a twin-blade razor. Then, in 1998, Gillette introduced the Mach3 triple-blade shaver—after spending a reported $750 million to develop it.

The enduring quest for a close shave

Located in Mount City, MO, local grain farmer JW Trimmer is taking a former corn silo and transforming it into the ultimate home/office. The new building will be constructed out of Vertical Insulated Concrete Forms from TF Forming Systems. “We were looking for an energy efficient material and concept,” Trimmer explained. “We compared ICF to double stud to highly insulated wall to a sip type panel…what we actually wanted to do with the radius of the corn silo is why we chose TF. TF’s vertical design looked the best option for doing the radius." Steve Graham with Graham Construction was the installer on the project. This was the first building he had completed where an existing structure was repurposed and four radius walls were part of the design. “We were impressed with the ease of being able to create the perfect radius,” said Graham. “Additionally, with this system, the homeowner should experience a lower utility bill and the structural integrity of the home, being that the walls are 8-inches and the helix added, will offer them safety for years to come.” “The corn silo was a well-built structure and unique, not too many of them were built this way,” Trimmer says. “However, it no longer served a useful purpose as a corn elevator. We were looking for something that it could be repurposed into. The farm had grown so we needed an office space.” Hyper Energy Efficiency

JW Trimmer owns more than 200 acres of farmland in the small Northeastern town of Mound City. Located near Nebraska where winter temperatures can be extreme, Trimmer intends to use geothermal energy to heat the structure. He will also tie in the excess heat from the wood-fired boiler to heat the water in the radiant floor system to heat the lower level.

Because of the usage of natural energy, coupled with the concrete walls and insulation on both sides of his walls, he will reduce his energy bills by well over 50 percent. “Our house is smaller than this structure, but we are hoping with the energy efficient walls and the design aspects of the building, the bills will be comparable to a space half its size,” Trimmer says. Resilient and Disaster Resistant

The new building, a hybrid of the existing structure and the new structure, will result in a state-of-the-art building with walls engineered to withstand 250 mph winds thanks to the slow curing process accomplished with a TF concrete wall and addition of Helix fibers to the concrete mix. “We get intense storms and high winds. We get tornadoes that go through the area,” Trimmer says. “I was looking at a long-term structure; something that would withstand extreme weather conditions and stand for a considerable period of time.” “This is a testament to the unique capabilities our wall systems offer,” says Kirk Brown, TF Forming Systems’ CEO. “Not only do we offer solid and affordable ways to be resilient and energy efficient, but we give building owner’s the opportunity to incorporate our wall systems into existingstructures. Once again the vertical design of our system proves that we are architecturally-friendly for every application.” The new structure will offer 4900 square feet of space that will be used for offices, a conference room, full kitchen and guest bedrooms and living quarters. Trimmer hopes to have the building complete by April 2013.
