Think & Feel. It describes what your brand identity and communications need to inspire. It describes what differentiates your organization, and the meaning you bring to market. Design without meaning is just pretty pictures. Brand communications with meaning have the power to inform, explain and persuade. They tell your story.

Think & Feel. It describes how we combine left-brain strategy with right-brain creativity. It describes the unique combination of life and enhanced meaning that should define every brand. We operate in the space between both sides of the brain, developing ideas that resonate across all points of contact. We tell your story.

Actuant’s results are achieved from the execution of our Business Model,

illustrated below:

Here’s how it works. Actuant businesses focus on generating

strong cash flow which is either used to reduce debt or

reinvested into core growth opportunities and business

acquisitions. Actuant seeks to grow its core sales by 1.5-2.0X

GDP (Gross Domestic Product), focusing on new customers,

markets and geographies. We supplement that core

growth with acquisitions which either complement our

existing businesses or provide new markets or products.

We accelerate cash flow by improving margins via our

LEAD (Lean Enterprise Across Disciplines) continuous

improvement process and through acquisition synergies

utilizing AIM (Acquisition Integration Model). Robust

employee training and development ensures that we have

the right people in the right place to execute our strategies.

strategy

Executing this model enhances the diversity of our

revenue in terms of geography, customers and end

markets. In turn, that diversity provides a level of

consistency to our financial results.

The model emphasizes cash flow. It guides Actuant

decision-makers to consider the best return for every

incremental dollar of invested capital. Core growth

investments, acquisitions and all capital spending and

efficiency projects are evaluated based on their cash flow

return. Additionally, all employees’ incentive compensation,

from the CEO’s office to the shipping dock, is based on

return on invested capital.

Power-Packer has broadened its served market to include

patient handling, offering a complete range of hydraulic and

electro-hydraulic actuators for applications such as hospital

beds, scan and operating tables and stretchers.

Power-Packer’s hydraulic pumps, cylinders, hoses and latches

have given truck manufacturers such as DAF, Scania and Volvo

the ability to lift cabs on cab-over-engine and conventional

trucks safely and efficiently for decades.

The model also drives us to focus on designing and

assembling products our customers need. We add

value by superior engineering, product innovation and

logistics expertise. As a result, we are not asset intensive,

allowing more flexible manufacturing and reduced capital

spending requirements.

As an illustration, consider our Power-Packer truck

business. Power-Packer has been delivering hydraulic

actuation technology to truck manufacturers for almost

40 years. Power-Packer has become the leading global

supplier by continuing to improve product performance,

increasing system capabilities, reducing customer’s costs

and expanding geographically into markets such as Turkey,

Korea, China and Brazil. Power-Packer makes it easy for

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) by supplying

turn-key systems anywhere in the world at a consistent

high quality standard. Power-Packer can expand to meet

demand without significant additional investment in

plant and equipment, and is well positioned to extend its

technology into other end market applications, including

off-highway vehicles and medical applications.

Actuant continues to focus on creating shareholder value

by emphasizing both growth and above-average returns on

invested capital. The disciplined execution of this business

model has served Actuant well in the past, and will continue

to direct our growth strategy into the future.

Actuant’s Diversity — 2008 Revenues $1.66 Billion

Actuant’s emerges from our cash flow focused business model.

Actuant has delivered a 20% compound annual growth

rate in sales since the 2000 spin-off. In 2008, Actuant

businesses like Hydratight, Enerpac and Maxima

benefited from robust global demand in energy, natural

resources and commodity-linked markets. Declining

North American consumer confidence created end

market weakness for businesses including Gardner Bender,

Marinco and PowerGear.

Each Actuant business seeks to grow organically by

introducing new products, stretching its markets, or

expanding its customer base. It all begins with a strategic

plan. Each unit carefully examines market share and

industry trends, completes a map of current and potential

customers, and develops a plan to achieve core growth.

growth

Product innovation is one way the Actuant businesses

grow. This year, Enerpac introduced the new XVARI pump,

an air-powered hydraulic pump that provides better

control for the operator, is ergonomically designed and

leads to increased productivity. High-tech engineering

and extensive end-user research led to innovative

product features that promise to create more competitive

differentiation in this important product segment.

Actuant is capitalizing on technology and market trends

to drive core sales growth, including at Gits Manufacturing.

Gits’ precision air-flow valving technology is critical for

reducing harmful emissions, improving fuel efficiency and

enhancing horsepower in diesel engines and turbochargers.

Gits has the opportunity to expand its served market

beyond its traditional North American heavy-duty truck base

Actuant’s results from disciplined execution of our strategies.

It has been projected that 30% of Caterpillar’s

future growth is likely to be in China. As

Caterpillar takes a long-term, strategic view

of supplier relationships, Actuant’s growing

presence in China will provide better support

to this important customer.

Actuant’s Taicang, China, facility opened in August 2008 and

operates as an engineering and manufacturing base for Actuant

businesses, serving both the fast growing Asian market as well as

customers across the globe.

Using “Voice of the Customer”

techniques, Enerpac designed the new

XVARI air-powered hydraulic pump

to meet its customer requirements

for safety, performance and value.

to European and Asian trucks, off-highway vehicles and

certain passenger car and light-duty truck platforms.

Other Actuant businesses seek to leverage our global

facility base to expand, especially our growing footprint in

China. In August, Actuant opened a new manufacturing

and assembly facility in Taicang, which consolidates

three existing China-based operations into one. In addition

to manufacturing, Taicang will host shared engineering,

finance, customer service, human resources and marketing

functions to serve a number of Actuant businesses. It

will also work collaboratively with Actuant’s successful

sourcing operation, which today includes more than

150 people sourcing nearly $150 million in products and

components annually. The Taicang operation represents an

enormous opportunity for all of the Actuant businesses,

especially those seeking to enter and broaden their sales

in this important growth market.

Finally, Actuant’s global customer relationships also

create growth opportunities—especially in cases

where numerous Actuant businesses serve a common

customer. For example, Enerpac’s strong relationship

with industrial products distributor Grainger has opened

the door for other businesses such as Acme Electric

and Simplex. Another important global customer of

Actuant is Caterpillar. Currently, eight different Actuant

companies provide products or services to Caterpillar.

Global customers like Caterpillar seek out suppliers with

consistent quality, engineering, financial stability and a

global footprint, which our businesses provide.

hile Enerpac has been a strong

contributor to the Actuant port-

folio for decades, the Joint Integrity product

line was built more recently via a series of

acquisitions. It is a great example of our

acquisition strategy as well as our global

diversification.

A torque wrench is where it all started.

While Enerpac sold hydraulic torque wrenches,

it was a small player. We identified oil and gas

and power generation as growing markets

where the torquing and tensioning of bolts was

mission critical. This led us to acquire Hedley

Purvis and Hydratight Sweeney, both United

Kingdom based companies, in 2005. With these

acquisitions, Actuant became a complete joint

integrity solutions provider.

S e g m e n t P r o f i l eIn 2007, our Industrial Segment generated sales of $427 million, a 31% increase over 2006, including 13% core growth. We provide high force hydraulic tools for use in end-market applications as diverse as positioning the roof on the Olympic Stadium in Beijing to lifting and positioning aircraft wings on today’s largest aircraft prior to attachment. Our joint integrity product line provides safety critical maintenance and repair products and services to global oil and gas and power generation customers.

to ensure safe and

reliable connections.

Subsequent acquisitions of D.L. Ricci, based

in the U.S., and Injectaseal, based in Germany,

extended the geographic reach as well as

broadened the product and service portfolio to

include machining and leak sealing. Together,

these businesses are known today as Hydratight,

and comprise our Joint Integrity product line.

The central value Hydratight provides customers

is reduced downtime and increased safety due

to reliable connections.

Hydratight’s breadth and depth of products

and services is substantial. Our ability to develop

integrity-related solutions enables us to work

with the leading companies in our served

industries. With more than 20 locations stra-

tegically positioned across five continents,

including the U.S., Brazil, Singapore, United

Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and a newly opened

facility in Kazakhstan, Hydratight is truly a

global enterprise.

For oil and gas, our competencies extend

to both on and offshore facilities as well as

topside and subsea. Hydratight products and

services are used during the full life cycle of an

installation, from construction to decommis-

sioning. The maintenance cycle of the joints on

rigs and pipelines is critical to both safety and

uptime, and Hydratight provides an unparal-

leled package of products and services to

execute these requirements.

Reliable connections are a necessity in the

power generation industry as well. Whether

bolting in place the reactor head at a nuclear

power plant or holding the blades on a wind

turbine, failure is not an option.

Globally, wind turbine capacity is growing in

excess of 25% per year, and more than 45 gov-

ernments around the world have enacted laws

and regulations to support the growth of

renewable energy sources like wind power.

Torque wrench sales

through Enerpac

Hydratight provides cutting edge technology

and service to assure safe and reliable connec-

tions for these “green” energy sources. Our

technology is specified by leading wind turbine

original equipment manufacturers globally

including Gamesa, General Electric, Mitsubishi,

Siemens and Vestas. We supply and support

the full gamut of parties involved in the erec-

tion and maintenance of wind farms, including

the OEMs, erection contractors and ongoing

maintenance providers. Hydratight has been

involved in key projects such as Horse Hollow,

the largest wind farm in the U.S. (located in

Texas), and North Hoyle, the United Kingdom’s

first major offshore installation.

Looking ahead, we will continue to augment

Actuant’s Industrial Segment with new products

and services and expand its geographic reach

to assist customers in meeting increasing

global demands.

Actuant Corporation

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Naming & Brand Identity

the former applied power corporation

became actuant as a result of splitting-

off the manufacturing services of applied

power into this new company. the company

manufacturers high-force hydraulic lifts,

automotive con vertible top systems and

electrical tools and supplies. Because many

of the company’s manufactured products

involve action and actuation, the coined name

actuant was developed and selected to reflect

these attributes, as well as for its strong

sound. the logomark projects strength and

motion through its imbedded graphic icon and

typography. the company has grown into a

successful and profitable entity.

GRAEF milwaukee, wisconsin

Brand Identity Program

strategic objectiveschange the previous name of graef, anhalt, schloemer & associates, which limited the firm’s growth and activities in some national locations, was hard to pronounce, and the ethnic sound of the name was not universally well received.update the dated visual identity and other communications components.develop new language to better communicate the firm’s broad capabilities and close relationship with clients.

strategic toolsmarket research revealed the firm’s trusted advisor positioning with clients, and the opportunities to simplify the name and identity, especially with regard to national expansion.the new name graeF institutionalizes the firm beyond the names of the founding partners, and retains the simplest of the three names to pronounce.the accent mark over the “a” in graeF helps in pronunciation, and becomes a key structural element in the new logomark, as well as a format device in applications.the new colors represent the firm’s work in both the built and natural environments.the new positioning phrase “collaborate | Formulate | innovate” describes the firm’s working relationship with clients.the external brand launch piece reinforces the firm’s new first name, leading with the message “call us by our first name,” and features employees from the firm’s offices.brochure and proposal templates allow the firm to customize print pieces and combine print-on-demand with pre-printed components.

Return on objectives“our previous name and identity held us back from national expansion. our new brand identity is much more compelling going into new markets beyond wisconsin, and exhibits a much higher level of professionalism. it was implemented as part of our strategic plan. our new brand has also resulted in an increase in self pride with employees, and has brought together our national offices.”

Our fiscal year began with the global economy rapidly

headed into recession and with commodity end-markets

in a virtual freefall from their record levels of 2008. Our

customers reacted quickly by reducing production levels

and deferring mine expansion projects. Despite the pressures

at the time, we addressed resulting contract cancellations

and deferred Letters of Intent in a manner that served

the long term interests of our business and preserved the

goodwill of major customers. I believe we balanced these

two objectives appropriately, and will benefit from our

actions when these projects are re-activated.

The sudden decline in incoming order rates caused us to

adjust our own business. Costs have come down by more

conventional volume-based reductions, but we have also

made systemic changes in our cost structure. We moved

I am pleased to report that our fiscal 2009 was a year of record

performance and significant accomplishments despite many challenges

that resulted from unprecedented volatility in our end-markets.

This past year we delivered record revenues, record earnings and record

profitability, and we improved many other areas of performance. Earnings

per share were up 28 percent to $4.41 on a 5 percent increase in revenues

to $3.6 billion. Our operating profit margin increased by 90 basis points

from our prior best to 19.5 percent. Process improvements also helped

working capital velocity, and we reduced both Accounts Receivable and

Inventory on higher sales. We also generated our second highest level of

cash from operations despite a reduction in excess of $200 million in

customer Advanced Payments due to declining backlogs. I am also proud

to report that 2009 was our safest year ever, with a lost time incident rate

below 0.7 per one hundred full time workers. To put this in perspective,

it is less than one-fourth the average rate of all manufacturing.

Chief Executive Officer Joy Global Inc.

PREMIUM STOPPING PERFORMANCE.

Meritor understands that premium stopping performance is a must in fire and rescue, which often

requires safe but aggressive driving at maximum payloads. That’s why we’ve developed, in conjunction with

Meritor WABCO, a high-performance stopping package that optimizes performance and life-cycle for fire

and rescue applications.

FOUNDATION BRAKING. As the industry brake leader, you can expect an array of braking options to choose what’s best-suited for your application. Our Q Plus cam brake is an industry standard, offering premium stopping performance and minimal maintenance. For extreme durability, our Cast Plus delivers the added robustness needed for some fire/rescue applica-tions. And for superior resistance to fade, the EX225 offers proven reliability in frequent-stop applications. Whatever brake package best suits your axle and application, trust that Meritor’s heritage of braking performance in the fire and rescue industry ensures that it’s engineered for maximum performance in the most demanding of work environments

SMARTTRAC ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS. Why trust your vehicle’s stability to anything less than the proven performance of Meritor WABCO’s SmartTrac ABS? Available in 4S/4M, 6S/4M and 6S/6M configurations, the complete range of systems ensures you get the right solution based on the extreme needs of the fire/rescue application, number of axles and type of suspension system running under the vehicle. Meritor WABCO ABS systems are available in a range of configurations appropriate for fire and rescue. Their proven performance, simplet diagnostics and minimized parts requirements are certain to appeal to the fire and rescue market.

EX225 Air Disc Brakes.

Meritor Corporation

Troy, michigan

Re-branding Communications Program

The previous arvinmeritor name and brand

identity was diluted and misunderstood,

with no unified and cohesive global brand

standards. global research determined the

strength of the stand-alone meritor brand

name and the strength of the bull icon.

a comprehensive brand standards manual

was developed and implemented globally,

outlining and detailing the new logomark

usage standards. Format standards and

templates were developed for stationery,

print literature, advertising, signage,

electronic communications and merchandise,

as well as internal and external launch

components. in addition, usage stan-

dards were created and confirmed for all

meritor subsidiaries.

research, design and implementation

activities were accomplished over a period

of nine months, and were implemented by

a global brand team, responsible for

implementing the new program in their

global region.

Ad / Brochure / Sell Sheet Ads, brochures and sell sheets (8.5 x 11”) use a logomark with the word MERITOR at 2.125” wide.

s 8.5 x 11” brochure, ad and sell sheet logomarks at actual size

Size Consistency To achieve consistency, use a common logomark size on materials of a similar nature. For example, a shirt, jacket and cap should use the same size logomark. Another way to create consistency is to use a logomark that is sized to the nearest inch or half inch across similar materials.

Logomark Sizes On materials such as business cards and letterhead, standard sizes are specified. However, many items require minimum size limitations and judgement to decide which size logomark will reproduce the best and appear the most consistent.

Minimum Size To maintain visual clarity, especially in the bull symbol, a vertical or horizontal logomark, with the word MERITOR at 1.125” wide, is the minimum size the logomark should be printed. In situations where the logomark is to be used at a small size and the readability or reproduction quality of the ® would be compromised, the ® may be omitted.

s Minimum size and business card logomark at actual size

Business Card Business cards use the horizontal logomark with the word MERITOR at 1.125” wide.

First M. LastnameCompanyAddressCity, State 00000

Dear Firstname:

Together, the best work of these two icons of typography results in a cohesively designed typeface suited to a broad spectrum of typographic needs. But the Bulmer types did more than imitate the stark-ness of the modern-style Didot-Bodoni types. By condensing the letterforms, giving the strokes higher contrast, and bracketing the serifs slightly, Martin made his typefaces both beautiful and practical.

You’ll often see Bulmer in use as a display face because of its high contrast and distinctive letter shapes. As a text face, it adds elegance to any page, and in combination with its expert set, you can use Bulmer for text settings of virtually any subject, from novels to mathematical treatises.

Designed in 1993 by Chong Wah of Monotype, Ocean Sans is a two-axis multiple master typeface that ranges from normal to extended in width, and light to extra bold in weight. It has a large x-height with resulting short ascenders and descenders. It’s unusual for a sans serif because of its relatively high contrast between thick and thin strokes, which makes it useful for display purposes. As a multiple master typeface, it performs well in innumerable typesetting situations. Since the normal width of Ocean Sans is quite narrow, it’s ideal for magazines and other text settings rife with copyfitting issues. Eccentric was designed in 1881 by Gustav F. Schroeder for the T.J. Lyons type foundry. It’s an all-cap-ital, narrow-bodies, monoline display face that could be described as high waisted. With crossbars and main junctures more than halfway up the letterforms, every letter—except the W—has a long-legged appearance. Eccentric has a wide range of display uses, from playbills to fashion advertisements. Isabella was designed in 1892 for MacKellar, Smiths and Jordan, one of many type houses that were later amalgamated into American Type Founders. As testimony to its long-lived appeal, Isabella was one of the first PostScript language typeface releases of Agfa Compugraphic. With its unmistakable 19th-century characteristics—swirls, loops and surprising letter shapes—Isabella is a natural for display situa-tions that demand high drama or, dare we say, melodrama. Originally drawn in the style of 19th-century woodcut types with interior shading and ornate English swashes, Raphael was updated in 1974, and the interior shading was removed. It now exhibits modern design elements—very wide letter strokes offset by hairlines—and is easily identified by the swashes that curve over the tops of the capitals, turning into crossbars on the A, E, F and R. Used sparingly, Raphael adds flash to advertisements, announcements, stationery, notices and business cards.

Product Branding & Communications

We were challenged by Meritor defense

to develop an integrated communications

program for a new line of high Mobility

Independent Suspensions systems for

tactical wheeled military vehicles and

armored personnel carriers. Statistics

showed that this new product line

dramatically reduced critical injuries to

combat personnel in vehicles.

With the first challenge to name the new

product, protec uniquely differentiates

this line from other products. this protection

strategy and the “protection space”

is currently not occupied by competitor

products. all communications in the

integrated campaign were designed to

reinforce this positioning, explaining how

the protec products lead with protection.

campaign components include print ads,

product literature, product video,

regional radio ads and trade show

touchscreen display.

the positioning strategy sets the products

apart from competitors that primarily stress

product performance and maximum payload,

not protection. the new name has prov-

en to be evocative, compelling and direct.

the new product is achieving “stickiness”

in the market.

its customers. by turning the “i” into an

exclamation point and using bold colors in

the new logo, it makes a statement in every

introduced to employees through a simple

spiral bound book that expresses “the

pride, the power, the passion, the Printery.”

customers were informed of the new identity

through a three-dimensional exclamation

Brand Identity Program

strategic objectivesestablish a distinctive personality, develop effective key messaging, update the brand identity and develop an integrated system of communications components. shorten the name ritz, holman, butala & Fine to improve pronunciation issues and to better reflect how clients refer to the firm.

strategic toolsinternal and external market research revealed the need to differentiate the firm from competitors through an integrated brand communications campaign that emphasized the firm’s stengths.client research confirmed the level of professionalism and solid performance of the firm—the natural capabilities, personalities and sensibilities of the firm’s accountants, their nature to pay attention to detail, to emphasize accuracy, and to love numbers—accounting is the profession they were meant to do.Natural Resources was implemented as the positioning phrase on all communications, emphasizing the firm’s natural accounting capabilities and differentiating the firm within the industry.the firm name was shortened to ritzholman to be more direct and memorable.the visual identity conveys a sense of moving forward from its more than 50-year history. the logomark features a “greater-than” sign that is tilted upwards in a positive direction. the traditional serif font is used for “ritz” to symbolize a respectful nod to the firm’s history, while a more modern sans serif font is used for “holman” to suggest their ongoing evolution as a firm.natural imagery is highlighted in all communications, both print and electronic. it supports the positioning phrase and is a distinctive approach among accounting firms. the images were taken by one of the firm’s partners who is a nature photographer.a simple brand launch introduces the new name, visual identity and position phrase; the new firm brochure explains the meaning of natural resources and the firm’s capabilities; a recruiting brochure profiles recent additions to the firm and the updated web site emphasizes simplicity and the firm’s natural imagery.

Return on objectivesthe new brand identity is functioning to dramatically differentiate the firm within the accounting profession, and is serving to attract much interest from clients and prospects.in recruiting, the number of employee candidates and interviews have more than doubled over the previous year.the new brand identity has been very well received by clients, and the firm has seen a significant growth in new business.

Everything about Milwaukee Truck Sales screams heavy duty. This southeastern Wisconsin Mack truck dealer tackles the big jobs, from quad-axle dump trucks to garbage trucks and over-the-road rigs. The common thread is when these trucks are in the shop, they are out of commission. That means they’re not making money.

TOOLPROFESSIONALS

WINTER 2010 • 21

“What I buy is based on how much I use ‘em. My everyday tools are Snap-on.”

TOM WA SileWSki

Whether the rig is part of a

fleet or run by an owner-operator,

the objective is to get the vehicle

back to work as fast as possible.

Part of the Kriete Group, with

locations throughout Wisconsin

and the Upper Peninsula of

Michigan, Milwaukee Truck Sales

runs 24 hours a day Monday

through Saturday. Its heavy-

duty mechanics take pride in

their ability to do jobs quickly,

accurately, and on time. These

guys know that time is money.

When they reach into their

tool box for the right tool for the

job — whether it’s a Snap-on 3/8" drive impact swivel socket for that

hard-to-reach repair job or a 1/4" Blue-Point® air ratchet for removing

a water pump — they need to know

the tool is up to the task.

“I wouldn’t buy anything other

than Snap-on and Blue-Point air

tools,” says Tom Wasilewski, as

he takes a short break from fixing

a dump truck transmission. “We

run the air pressure up a bit here.

Other tools don’t hold up.”

Wasilewski speaks with

authority because he’s been a

mechanic at Milwaukee Truck

Sales for more than 30 years. In a

typical week, he may be called on

to do engine work, transmission

rebuilds or solve a pesky driveline

vibration problem. A mechanic

in this environment needs to

have a wide range of knowledge

and experience.

“The more I know, the better

for the shop. And the more tools

I need. When I am buying new,

Jeff Nall at Snap-on always gets

the call first. At this point in

my career, I buy stuff that won’t

break,” he says. “What I buy is

based on how much I use ‘em.

My everyday tools are Snap-on.”

Selection ProcedurePerformance Curves are based on 50 SSU oil entering the cooler 50°F higher than the ambient air temperature used for cooling. This is referred to as a 50°F E.T.D.

Step 1 Determine the Heat Load. Heat load may be expressed as either horsepower or BTU/Hr. To convert horsepower to BTU/Hr.: BTU/HR = Horsepower x 2545

Step 2 Determine Entering Temperature Difference. The entering oil temperature is generally the maximum desired oil temperature. Entering oil temperature – Ambient air temperature = E.T.D.

Step 3 Determine the Corrected Heat Dissipation to use the curves.Corrected Heat Dissipation =

BTU/HR heat load x 50°F E.T.D.

x viscosity correction A.

Step 4 Enter curves at oil fl ow through cooler and curve heat dissipation. Any curve above the intersecting point will work.

NOTE: Performance curves shown are for 1 and 2 pass confi guration.

EXAMPLE: 35 - 2 is AOHM or AOVHM - 35

Step 5 Determine Oil Pressure Drop from Curves: � = 5 PSI; � = 10 PSI; � = 20 PSI. Multiply pressure drop from curve by correction factor B found in oil viscosity correction curve.

Desired Reservoir TemperatureOil Temperature: Oil coolers can be selected using entering or leaving oil temperatures.

Off-Line Recirculation Cooling Loop: Desired reservoir temperature is the oil temperature entering the cooler.

Return Line Cooling: Desired reservoir temperature is the oil temperature leaving the cooler. In this case, the oil temperature change must be determined so that the actual oil entering temperature can be found. Calculate the oil temperature change (oil �T) with this formula: Oil �T = (BTU’s/Hr.) / (GPM Oil Flow x 210).

To calculate the oil entering temperature to the cooler, use this formula: Oil Entering Temp. = Oil Leaving Temp + Oil �T.

Oil Pressure Drop: Most systems can tolerate a pressure drop through the heat exchanger of 20 to 30 PSI. Excessive pressure drop should be avoided. Care should be taken to limit pressure drop to 5 PSI or less for case drain applications where high back pressure may damage the pump shaft seals.

Oil TemperatureTypical operating temperature ranges are: Hydraulic Motor Oil 120°F - 180°FHydrostatic Drive Oil 160°F - 180°F Engine Lube Oil 180°F - 200°FAutomatic Transmission Fluid 200°F - 300°F

Hydraulic Motor M

Notes: Maximum pressure is 2000 psi. Stated minimum operating pressure is at inlet port of motor. 1000 psi allowable back pressure.*Catalog db(A) sound levels are at seven (7) feet. dB(A) sound levels increase by six (6) dB(A) for halving this distance and decrease by (6) dB(A) for doubling this distance.

Integrated Communications

Strategic objectivesestablish differentiating messaging and an integrated campaign to market the company’s highly engineered air, water and oil-cooled products to customers and oeMs.update the product literature to reflect a higher level of excellence.

Strategic toolsthe positioning theme of Cool Power describes in two words what the company does, and is used with “We Cool what you Power” to more fully describe the company’s ability to provide thermal management products that cool a wide variety of engines in multiple industries. it is the lynch pin in all communications.integrated communications components are all centered around the cool power theme, and include a new system of product literature, a product catalog, print advertising and a newly developed customer partner award.the cool power theme has developed into a corporate mantra for employees, appearing as a key element on employee merchandise and performance awards, and igniting a new level of employee pride around a cool idea.

Return on objectivesafter the introduction of the cool power theme and its initial communications components, the company experienced a double-digit increase in brand awareness, as opposed to the virtually unchanged brand awareness of competitors.sales of many products experienced an increase and the catalog went into a second printing within six months to meet demand.internal pride is at an all-time high and employees are motivated around the cool power theme.

TOTAL Sustainability.

The green bui ld ing movement has gone from an emerging trend to an ever growing

presence in the construct ion industry. Bui ld ings and their mechanical systems are

becoming more complex and more eff ic ient to provide a healthier environment for their

occupants, whi le reducing l i fe cycle costs and expenses.

In pursui t of green bui ld ing design, the U.S. Green Bui lding Counci l has provided a

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Bui lding Rat ing System

to measure a bui ld ing’s ul t imate sustainabi l i ty. This third-party cert i f icat ion program

has quickly become a standard and the nat ional ly accepted benchmark for the design,

construct ion and operat ion of high-performance green bui ld ings. Many new products

and processes have been created to achieve greener bui ld ings. The green bui ld ing

movement is another area in which TOTAL Mechanical demonstrates i ts reputat ion

for qual i ty and leadership in the construct ion industry, providing TOTAL Sustainabi l i ty

Brand Identity Program

Strategic objectiveschange the firm name of total comfort to more clearly communicate what the firm does.introduce a new name and establish a more professional firm positioning.implement language to explain the firm’s growing capabilities.

Strategic toolsresearch revealed that perception problems were keeping the firm from consideration on some projects, and likely limiting the firm’s growth.internal research revealed that employees did not feel the firm had the correct tools for achieving success.the name total mechanical was recommended for nonresidential operations, and total residential was adopted for the growing residential side of the business.the new name is the new logo, with an emphatic period after total to add emphasis and project the strength and professionalism of the organization.all communications pieces include the the positioning phrase Building Integrity—a double meaning representing the company’s approach in all client relationships, as well as the building systems designed and installed by the firm.a brand launch piece introduces the new name and identity through a brief video explaining company growth.all communications pieces, print and electronic, are integrated in both graphics and messaging.the company’s large fleet of service vehicles includes the list of company capabilities, and features clean and simple graphics.

Return on objectives“we can go everywhere with our new brand identity. we look like a national firm.”“the success of our growth and expansion is totally related to our new brand identity. the new brand is everything for our success.”“our brand now resonates and connects. when we leave a client prospect meeting, the strongest thing we leave behind is our brand.”

University of Wisconsin – Milwaukeemilwaukee, Wisconsin

Brand Identity Program

Strategic objectivesincrease the awareness and visibility of the university among other local and regional institutions.better represent uWm as one of america’s premier urban research universities.overcome an inferiority complex relative to other local and regional institutions.promote the university’s strengths of accessibility, diversity, and the urban connection to Wisconsin’s largest metropolitan area.emphasize the identity of the university over the individual identities of schools and colleges in all university communications.

Strategic toolsa distinctive university logomark and signatures boldly identify the university and emphasize milwaukee.the university Seal is updated, respecting its heritage and relating to the new identity.related and unified identifiers are developed for the uWm alumni association & uWm Foundation.uWm’s face-to-market is emphasized through a unified print and electronic communications program.a comprehensive brand identity guidelines document maintains the brand, controlling the consistent use of all brand identity and graphic components.a bold and unique exterior and interior signage program creates a sense of place, branding the campus and its buildings with dynamic signage.the uWm brand identity program continues to grow by identifying all off-campus facilities and activities.

Return on objectivesall university communications stress the uWm identity, with schools and colleges and other university activities in support of the uWm brand.the uWm identity is now visible on-campus and in the area like never before, enthusiastically supported by extensive branded merchandise.the entire uWm environment supports the uWm brand, helping to shape perceptions, communicate differentiating qualities and set expectations.

“We’re not unlike a business. We look at the bottom line. For us, one of those bottom lines is applications and enrollment. in both instances, the number of people that have applied to the university and ultimately enrolled here has gone through the roof. it’s certainly been due to a number of factors, not the least of which is branding. We’re in people’s minds in a way we never were before. it’s allowed us to be a real player in the community.”
