those on the ground that a lift is descending.

The Vert-Alert system has a data-logger

that records the number of times the lanyard

attachment alarm was activated. The Vert-

Alert records the date and time of connect

and disconnects of the lanyard, as well as the

number of up and down motions. This infor-

mation will help identify operations outside

of standard operating procedures.

The Pelsue Vert-Alert is a simple and effec-

tive system to warn operators if they are not

attached to the anchorage, which will help

improve operator safety and OSHA compli-

ance. It is easily installed on new and existing

equipment by competent installers.

Terramac

The Terramac RT9 is the rubber track crawler

carrier designed with utility work in mind.

Whether you’re navigating through adverse

terrain or in need of specialty equipment

such as boom lifts or digger derricks to get

the job done, you will enjoy all the advanced

features of the RT9.

Navigating through uncharted ground

has never been easier with the RT9’s ground

pressure of just 5.1 psi fully loaded. The low

ground pressure takes you further while

minimizing ground damage and preventing

costly jobsite damage from occurring.

Equipped with front and rear bolt-on

connections, this multi-purpose carrier can

accommodate various types of specialized

equipment for the job at hand. You will

appreciate the ease of switching between

attachments such as boom lifts, digger der-

ricks, and various beds all in a day’s work. The

electrical power sources, frame adjustments,

and hydraulics can all be customized to suit

different attachments.

Manufactured in North America, the

CE-certified Terramac RT9 has an operating

weight of 26,000 pounds and a maximum

carrying capacity of 18,000 pounds. The RT9

does not require special oversize permitting

to transport the machine. Ideal for carrying

supplies and materials, the bed on the RT9

elevates to a 48-degree angle for dumping

gravel, sand, dirt, and other materials. The

bed can fold down, allowing the operator to

side-load materials or equipment for carriage

across rough terrain, delicate soil conditions,

and remote areas. The RT9 is equipped with

a 230-horsepower Cummins diesel engine.

Rollover protective structure (ROPS) and

falling object protective structure (FOPS) are

standard. Open- and closed-cab options are

available.

Terex

To increase drill-

ing performance

and decrease operational costs, Terex Texo-

ma Interchangeable Head (ICH) augers are

now available for the popular Terex General

and Commander series digger derricks. ICH

augers increase productivity and versatility

by enabling utility contractors to accommo-

date a variety of drilling configurations and

applications with a single auger body.

ICH augers eliminate the need for custom-

ers to have multiple augers in their equip-

ment fleet. By simply switching out the head

on the auger, customers can work in various

ground conditions throughout their opera-

tions area, as well as change hole diameters,

with minimal effort. With only one pin to

switch out, ICH augers can be taken on and

off auger bodies in two minutes or less. Mea-

suring approximately 12-inches long, several

interchangeable heads can easily be stored

in the truck bed. This allows customers to

always have the right auger for the job, when

and where it’s needed most.

Three types of Terex ICH augers are avail-

able: TX (TXD and TXC) Series for dirt or

cobble applications, BTA Series (standard and

spiral cut) for hard rock applications, and a

core barrel option for extreme applications.

ICH augers are designed with a 2 5/8-inch

diameter hex shaft to provide a robust con-

nection between the auger body and auger

head, giving them the ability to withstand

the full torque of the auger drive regardless

of the auger drive output. The design of

these augers also incorporates a new high-

strength drawn-over-mandrel stem.

ICH augers are available in three flight

options: medium duty, heavy duty, and extra

heavy duty. Replacement teeth and pilot bits

are also available.
