Product Snapshot: Crawler Crane and Fall-Safety Lanyard
The latest Sioux Water Heater models have been updated with several much-requested features. Gas-fired water heaters now sport gas-pressure gauges on the inlet of the gas train, with a label clearly stating the required flow of gas and operating pressure. Oil-fired water heaters now feature oil-pressure gauges on the burner fuel oil pump, also with a label stating the required fuel pressure. These new standardized gauges and labels minimize problems during installation, operation and troubleshooting. All M Series, PWP Series and M-415 Series water heaters now include digital temperature-control systems in the main electrical enclosure; this setup allows the operator to monitor the inlet water temperature and control the desired set-point temperature. The water heaters are pre-wired and pre-plumbed for easier installation and offer instantaneous, continuous hot-water supply with no preheating or recovery time needed.

The shock pack is more compact than earlier models and has a 3/4-in. webbing that reduces its weight and bulk. The lanyard features a one-handed, quick-connect design that employs a dual-action locking gate rated to 3,600 lb. Water-repellent webbing reduces the build up of mold and dirt for better abrasion resistance. Capital Safety; 800-328-6146; www.capitalsafety.com
