TGeneral Equipment Co.; 800-533-0524; www.generalequip.com he MG1500 hydraulic grapple attachment is designed for not only sorting and loading rubble but is suitable for the demolition of masonry and wooden structures. With a service weight of under 3,263 lb, the tool features a maximum closing force of 6.9 tons. It fits onto carriers between 17 and 28 tons, requires oil flow of 32 to 45 gpm at 5,076 psi and features full-360 degree rotation with two hydraulic cylinders to maximize the closing force. he DynaPier system allows piers to be placed directly under footings instead of outside of them during repairs. Segments of high-strength concrete in galvanized steel sleeves are driven hydraulically to bedrock to form the pier, which is capped by a galvanized steel cap. The load and foundation then can be placed directly above the pier without removing or breaking the footing. he Level Set line of underlayment is intended for correcting uneven or rough areas on interior floors prior to installing the final floor covering or finishing. These cement-based materials can be poured or pumped and require no troweling and minimal finishing. They can be applied from feather-thin to up to 5 in. deep. The polymer-modified formula can be used on a variety of substrates including concrete and wood, and can be used under carpeting, tile, wood floors and stone. he CurbDrain system is a modular drainage system with continuous inlets along its length. These built-in inlets allow for liquid drainage and eliminate the need for poured in place concrete curbs with intermittent iron inlet drains. The segments are made of polymer concrete and consists of one-piece curb-and-trench segments that are linked together by simple male-female connectors. Available in standard curb shapes, with a Type 6 curb profile and a traditional concrete color. he FCS5 Rip-R-Stripper allows for the scraping of floor surfaces in confined spaces. It has a cutting width of 5 in. and cuts at a rate of 2,500 oscillations per minute. Powered by a 1.2-hp electric motor, the unit has an aluminum transmission casing to reduce wear. The tool’s multipurpose blades are able to remove vinyl tiles, sheet linoleum, rubber-backed carpet and many kinds of adhesives and mastics.
