Trailer-Mounted Lube Equipment: No Need For a Separate Truck

The Lube Trailer is a self-powered lube delivery system mounted directly on a trailer as opposed to a truck chassis. It is capable of delivering several fluids to a jobsite, including new oil products, salvage and grease. The tanks are made of polyethylene, which greatly reduces the equipment's weight. The trailer can be pulled by any truck that is at least a ton, and connects via a simple ball or pintle hitch. It also features storage compartments for carrying useful accessories such as work lights or air compressors. QT Equipment; 800-824-0622; www.qtequipment.com

Mini Skid-steer: Plenty of Power in a Small Profile

The S400TX mini skid-steer features a 23-hp air-cooled gas engine capable of delivering a tipping capacity of 1,430 lb and an operating capacity of 500 lb with a 69-in. lifting height. Intended for small-scale operations, the S400TX is controlled by two joysticks integrated into a grip bar that controls transport and boom/bucket motion. Despite its power, the mini skid steer produces only 3.8 psi of ground pressure. Vermeer; 888-837-6337; www.vermeer.com

Jobsite Monitoring: Remote Camera Keeps an Eye on Projects

The iBEAM ONSITE remote-controlled camera can be placed at a construction site to remotely monitor progress. The camera is linked to a customizable Website where it can upload images at regular intervals. The camera itself can be controlled through the password-protected Web interface, which also features a complete image archive and time-lapse movies, as well as optional features such as updating weather reports. The camera is housed in an all-weather enclosure and requires only a power source and an Internet connection to operate. iBEAM Systems Inc.; 800-403-0688; www.ibeamsystems.com

Hydraulic Air Compressor: Powered By the Vehicle's System

The HP60CMH is a truck-mounted air compressor that draws its power directly from the truck's hydraulic system. It is capable of delivering free air at 60 cu ft per minute and requires only 18.1 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow at 2,295 psi to maintain its full load. Additionally, the unit is capable of running light air tools as well as heavier pneumatic tools continuously. Built-in hydraulic cooling allows the unit to run without downtime to cool, and a motor bypass valve allows the hydraulics to power other tools even when the compressor is off.

Dexterous Dozer: Careful Movements

The 650 J Crawler Dozer is a maneuverable compact dozer designed for finishing work that requires finesse, with the power to carry big blade loads. The 90-hp dozer has a Total Machine Control system for operator customization of ground-speed ranges and steering modulation. Counter rotation allows the operator to overcome heavy corner loads and reposition the blade quickly, while hydrostatic drivetrain and a six-way blade allow more control. An optional Integrated Grade Control accepts whatever grade-control system may be needed. John Deere; 800-537-8233; www.deere.com

Compact Telehandler: Far Reaching

The TH255 is a compact telehandler with a rated load capacity of 5,500 lb. It has a maximum lift height of 18 ft, 4 in., and a maximum forward reach of 10 ft, 10 in., with a maximum reach capacity of 1,850 lb. It sports a universal skid-steer coupler, allowing it to accept a variety of tools, including forks, buckets, augers and brooms. It's low-profile design has a cab height of only 6 ft, 4 in., yet the cab itself is spacious, with clear sight lines and a single joystick to control the hydraulic system. The side-mounted Cat C4.4 diesel engine is accessed via a simple clamshell hood and side panel, allowing access for mantainance. Caterpillar Inc.; 309-675-4693; www.cat.com

Pipeline Inspection: Getting a Better View of the Underground

The QuickView pipeline zoom camera allows for the remote inspection of underground infrastructure. The camera sends the image to a 7-in. color LCD screen and captures stills without interrupting the video recording. It features a 216:1 zoom, on-screen distance measurement and HID lamps. An extended targeting leg allows the camera to inspect drop lines around manholes with the necessary stability. This carbon-fiber attachment can be extended up to 5 ft. Pole extensions up to 48 ft can be attached, as well as an optional 6-ft extender leg that telescopes out to 18 ft as needed. Envirosight LLC; 866-936-8476; www.envirosight.com

Wide Paving: Automatic Roller Paver Straddles the Largest Pours

The Bid-Well 4800 automatic roller paver is able to to pave widths of 200 ft or more. The high-strength, lightweight steel in the truss system of the paver allows for the extreme width, with more robust gussets made of the same material. Large 1.5-in. crown bolts are used to secure the truss, preventing deflection or warping that may affect the smoothness of the paving. The RotaVibe system delivers 5,000 vibrations per minute to the rollers over the top 2 in. of concrete ensuring a smoother surface over the entire width of the pour.

Telescoping Boom Tracks: Getting Through Rough Terrain

The QTS System is designed for telescoping boom lifts, so they can operate on wet or sandy soils where flotation is needed to get around. The four rubber tracks bolt directly to the wheel hubs of the boom lifts with the use of a Loegering wheel spacer. The tracks increase the maneuverability of the boom but absorb the impact of taking the machine over areas that are uneven or offer little traction. The undercarriges are made of high-grade steel and feature fully sealed greaseless bearings. Loegering; 800-373-5441; www.loegering.com
