full 360 degrees with its tracks retracted to an overall

width of only 12.5 feet.

The new Tadano Mantis can pull through deep mud

without bogging down and telescope or lift the boom

with a full load on the hook. It also saves time and

money on the job with its low clearance height, retract-

on-the-fly tracks, and telescopic boom. The unit’s

independent hydrostatic track drives allow pivot turns

and counter rotation.

New Rope Connectors

Make Connections

Fast And Secure

G

eneral Machine Products

recently introduced a new

line of rope connectors to its

extensive line of aerial and

underground tools and equipment.

Rope connectors make the attach-

ment of rope to rope or rope to swiv-

els easier. All three of GMP’s rope

connectors are made from durable

stainless steel and offer a safety fac-

tor per load of 3:1 (horizontal pully

only).

The Rope-to-Rope Connector can

be used to join any two ropes with

diameters of .875 inches or less.

They are designed to handle up to a

15,000 pounds maximum load.

The Rope-to-Swivel Connectors

allow for rope and swivels to be at-

tached to one another. The .5-inch

connector can handle a maximum

load of 7,000 pounds, while the .66-

inch connector can handle a maxi-

mum load of 15,000 pounds.

“Our Rope-to-Swivel Connectors

are a great item because they do the

job of two products in one,” GMP

Director of Sales Ted Clemens said.

“By allowing rope to directly connect

to swivels, we save on the amount

of products contractors need to use.”
