Product Snapshot: Ride-on Trencher and Roll-out Membrane
The Hilti PS 1000-B X-Scan Radar Detection System can be used to locate rebar, post-tensioning cable, conduit, voids and wood in dry concrete structures. The system can display the scan image in a 2D plan view or cross-section view, allowing for the faster location of reliable drilling locations and avoiding concealed objects when drilling anchor or through holes or sawing concrete. The portable scanner has a durable rubber casing and features a quick-start-up function for regular use.

The Prepufe Plus waterproofing membrane is the latest addition to the Prepufe Waterproofing System. It features faster installation and greater adhesion along the seam compared to the standard Prepufe membrane. It does not have a release liner, and it can be rolled or even kicked out for quick installation. Built-in adhesive strips at the edge of the membrane form a quick seal with adjacent rolls. Puncture-resistant, the membrane is not affected by adverse weather conditions during installation.

The Ditch Witch RT30 ride-on trencher is powered by a 24.8-horsepower Kubota diesel engine. It can dig trenches up to eight inches wide and 42 in. deep. Unlike smaller trenchers, it features a bigger trencher drive motor with a larger shaft and bearings, resulting in longer maintenance intervals. For tight jobsites, it boasts four-wheel drive, a tight turning radius and a small footprint. The RT30 trencher's 42-in. boom can provide a 36-in. cover depth, satisfying most city codes and requirements.

American Carrier Equipment's All-Steel, Bottom-Dump Trailer is now available in the western U.S. Weighing 9,680 pounds, the tandem-axle trailer is 30% lighter than the manufacturer's earlier model. Designed for carrying asphalt, gravel and aggregate, the trailer is able to handle off-road driving conditions and can discharge its load on uneven terrain. Further, the interior bed has been redesigned to ensure materials such as asphalt are dumped properly.
