The Caterpillar H75E Hammer is designed for backhoe loaders and small excavators. It is able to deliver 1,000 ft-lb of energy and 840 to 1,650 blows per minute. The hammer features an automatic shutoff, which stops the hammer when it breaks through material, reducing damage from blank firing. It features a gas-fired system to maintain constant power between service intervals. The hammer is designed to curl and tuck under a Cat backhoe loader boom for transport.

The Foundation Bolt Tensioner is designed for use in wind-turbine construction. Bolts on the base of wind turbines are located very close to the tower structure and do not allow for bulky tensioning tools. The device's designers fashioned it to perform a minimum of 10,000 pressure cycles; it features both an over-stroke prevention device and a maximum stroke indicator. Options include a spring return, gear-driven nut run-down and single or twin connections. Boltight Ltd.; www.boltight.com
