Product Snapshot: Single-Arm Skid Steer and Concrete Roller Screed
The four-cylinder Cat M313D and M315D wheeled excavators have received updates to the cab and undercarriage. The cab features a larger monitor with quick-access buttons to the rear-view camera and control of two optional cameras. Both wheeled excavators have welded undercarriages that allow a blade to be used in front or rear, with or without outriggers at the opposite end. The excavators are compatible with the Cat Product Link system, which allows for remote monitoring of location, performance and diagnostic data. Caterpillar Inc.; 309-675-8995; www.cat.com

The RS800 Series Rollerscreed is a ride-on steerable roller screed with an 8-in.-dia, polyurethane-coated paving roller. It is powered by a 44-hp Kubota turbo-diesel engine and a hydraulic dolly-jack system. The roller screed's drive-tube and paving-tube scrapers remove concrete buildup on tubes, and it has a powered spray system for retardant application. The RS844 is available in widths of 14 ft to 34 ft, with working widths of 12 ft to 32 ft. Allen Engineering; 870-236-7751; www.alleneng.com

The 6JCC is a portable water pump that is able to deliver 1,100 gallons per minute. It can provide high heads to 490 ft and 212 psi and boasts automatic initial priming and re-priming. The 6-in. 6JCC is well suited for high-pressure applications, including water supply for hydraulic fracturing, clear-water jetting, wash-downs and tank cleaning. It features the Enviroprime system, which provides automatic priming without the risk of spilling pump fluids during normal operation. Thompson Pump; 800-767-7310; www.thompsonpump.com
