In-stock rubber is tested and shipped within
48 hours or less.
Hi-Line also provides Rubber Goods
Inventory and Change Out programs. Like
clockwork, rubber goods are cleaned, tested,
date-stamped, and shipped—arriving before
old goods expire. Customized exchange
programs allow maximized usage of rubber
products and spare inventory, maintain test-
ing standards compliance, free up ware-
house space, and the reduce time associated
with managing exchanges. Hi-Line has
developed customized rubber goods test-
ing programs for clients across the country,
supporting as many as 4,000 linemen out of
hundreds of locations.
With a rubber goods inventory and
change out program, emergency rubber
orders are one-day away from deliver-
ies. Before, during, after storms and other
emergencies, in addition to rubber goods
support, Hi-Line is available 24/7/365 for tool
and equipment support.
In addition to rubber goods support,
Hi-Line carries more than 10,000 products
in inventory and works directly with more
than 175 manufacturers, while providing the
services contractors need most, including
custom grounds & jumpers, fiberglass tool
restoration, tool repair/recertification, cus-
tom rope lines, rope inspection services, and
truck inventory/replenishing programs.

Toro’s all-new RT1200 riding trencher is
designed with versatility, productivity, and

shaft, and planetary gearset. The flywheel
stores inertial energy, ensures efficient
hydraulic system operation, and keeps the
chain consistently running in tough digging
conditions. The torsion shaft absorbs shock
loads, and the planetary gearset multiplies
the hydrostatic motor torque for added dig-
ging power. Added up, the HD trencher drive
technology ensures consistent, powerful
trenching performance in the most demand-
