Dura-Line

Dura-Line is a global manufacturer of

HDPE conduit and pipe systems with 18

plants located in eight countries providing

conduit and pipe products to the telecom,

broadband, CATV, electrical, transportation,

power utility, campus, military, agricultural,

industrial/municipal, renewable energy, and

oil and gas gathering markets.

Dura-Line is leading the way in MicroTech-

nology, a system that includes MicroDucts,

accessories, placing equipment, micro fiber

cable, and complete field technical resources

to support the design and installation.

Why are so many builders of fiber net-

works using MicroTechnology? By “microsiz-

ing” builders are realizing savings in material,

shipping and handling, installation, and

labor. Micro fiber cables are lightweight,

easy-to-handle, and can be placed long dis-

tances quickly, thereby reducing or eliminat-

ing splice or slack points. Box sizes, if needed

at all, can be cut in size by two-thirds. Reels

are smaller and lighter, making material

handling and shipping easier.

MicroTechnology products can be

installed by traditional methods of plowing,

boring, trenching, or placing as an innerduct.

No special equipment is needed. MicroTech-

nology is also compatible with micro-trench-

ing and MDU installations.

Dura-Line’s MicroTechnology products

can be used from the central office directly

to the home as well as in long-haul and

back-haul applications. MicroTechnology

is the answer for FTTH. Dura-Line’s Micro-

Technology installations are supported by

Dura-Line’s field design and engineering

teams that work support assist any and all

installations. And once installed, Dura-Line’s

MicroTechnology allows for future expansion

without construction!

It’s time to see why users and builders of

fiber networks are moving to MicroTech-

nolgy. Contact Dura-Line to learn more.

CASE N Series backhoes (the 580N, 580

Super N, 580 Super N Wide Track, and 590

Super N backhoe loaders) feature 3.4-liter,

turbocharged engines, ranging from 78

horsepower in the 580N to 108 horsepower

in the 590SN. The Tier 4 Interim-certified en-

gine burns cleaner while delivering superior

horsepower, faster response, and a minimum

of 5 percent better fuel efficiency under load.

N Series backhoes offer the industry-

hydraulic power directly to the boom with

the touch of a button. N Series backhoes also

feature optional automatic Ride Control on

four-wheel-drive models. Automatic Ride

Control engages at roading speeds (selected

by the operator) to help reduce bucket spill-

age.

CASE N Series backhoes also deliver more

power to the loader, for increased breakout

and lift capabilities. The loader arms are

stronger and longer, providing greater loader

reach. This lets operators dump material into
