Terex
The new Terex Tru-Level Tilting Pedestal
System for Terex SC and HRM Series aerial
devices allows for operation on slopes up
to 20 degrees to accommodate the need
for “real-world” truck positioning. This new
Terex system decreases stress on the rotation
gearbox when rotating “up the hill,” decreases
set-up time because it eliminates the need
to “crib” the outriggers, and does not limit
boom operation or load charts.
Other benefits of Terex’s unique Tru-Level
Tilting Pedestal System include that it keeps
the work platform level longitudinally, it
boasts safety and less fatigue for the opera-
tor having to maintain balance, the aerial
device is able to operate in its designed
configuration, and the cylinders are rated to
independently support the rated load.
Another impressive aspect of the system
is the anticipated increase in service life of
the rotation system. When aerial devices
operate on a slope, the rotation system
often works harder, especially while rotating
against the slope, compared to operating
on level ground. This Terex system will save
both service time and costs thanks to easier
access to the collector block and rotation
bearing bolts, as well as decreased stress on
the rotation gearbox during uphill work.
The system is engineered with a high-
strength steel bearing plate, heavy-duty
hinge points, dual tilt cylinders, and holding
valves on each tilt cylinder for outstanding
durability and performance.
Jameson Corporation
Known for the Buddy System of fiberglass
conduit rodders and fish tapes, Jameson
has a new line of detectable rodders. The
Duct Hunter is the non-invasive solution for
underground locating. The Duct Hunter rod-
ders enable underground systems such as
sewer lines, gas pipes, and buried cable to be
accurately located without digging.
Utilizing the rugged steel construction
and fiberglass rod of Buddy Rodders, the
Duct Hunters have a copper wire in the rod.
Connecting a signal transmitter to it ener-
gizes the unit so that the rod’s signal radiates
through the soil. A hand-held signal receiver
is then used to detect the frequency so the
entire buried utility can be traced. The ability
to locate underground systems without
digging saves a tremendous amount of
time and resources, while
preventing
damage to existing buried utilities.
Available in rod lengths of 300 to 1,000
feet and diameters of 5/16 and 7/16 inches,
the Duct Hunter can trace to depths of 10
feet.
