The MVS-6 Mobile Security System is a remote monitoring system for job sites. The unit is powered by a hybrid system of solar panels and a diesel generator, which the manufacturer claims allows for up to six months of uninterrupted operation. Its day/night imaging camera is connected to a 40 GB digital video recorder and is operated via a wireless connection. Multiple cameras can be networked to allow a single user to remotely view an entire job site, or they can be set up to activate when the unit’s built-in motion detector is tripped.

Cement Spreader: Dustless
The A2 Site Spreader is a dual-auger cement spreader capable of dustless loading and spreading. It is capable of a spreading rate of 90 lb per sq yd at 2 mph. During loading, the slide gate and contained air-circulation system capture any dust. The cement is spread using sealed dual augers with a power-shifting drive system to prevent binding and reduce dust. Stoltzfus Mfg. Inc.; 800-843-8731; www.cementspreaders.com
Poly-Filled Tires: No More Flats
Arnco polyurethane-filled tires are intended for big construction equipment where flats and blowouts pose significant safety risks. The extra weight in the tires also adds ballast, which can be useful for cranes and other lifting vehicles. The polyurethane filling can be added to any off-road tire with a sound casing.

Mobile Crane: High Reach in a Small Profile
The LTM 1150-6.1 is a six-axle mobile crane with a maximum hook height of 93 m and a radius of 76 m with its telescopic boom attachments. It is capable of handling up to 15 tonnes of counterweight with an axle load of 12 tonnes with a GVW of 72 tonnes. The carrier itself is only 13.5 m long, and its 11 m turning radius allows it to maneuver in situations many six-axle cranes cannot. Able to lift up to 11 tonnes with its boom at 60 m, it is well-suited for tasks such as tower-crane assembly. Liebherr; +49 7391 502 3663; www.liebherr.com
