with heavy-duty contact tips and diffusers that make them
suitable for operation in extreme conditions. The 350- and
450-amp models are available with optional locking or dual-schedule
triggers. Spray Master guns are rated at 80% duty cycle with
argon/carbon dioxide gases. They feature an ergonomic handle
design to reduce welder's fatigue. They have only 11 parts,

PVC SKYLIGHTS
For Residential or Commercial Use
SHEERFRAME solarium
skylight system combines design, performance, long life and
durability by using u-PVC components. Skylights have fully
welded frame corners to enhance insulation and all structural
members are reinforced to perform under heavy snow loads.
Compression seals are used throughout the system, along with
insulating glass. The u-PVC components are impervious to degradation
from rust or rot, says the maker. The sloped, glazed insulated
units are built with a combination of tempered and laminated
glass. System can be custom-manufactured.

GPS GUIDANCE SYSTEM
For Earthmoving Machines
CAESultra is an advanced
computer aided earthmoving system (CAES) that is used for
grade and slope control, material and ore contraction guidance
and compactor tracking. Real-time display shows the location
of the machine in relation to the site plan, as well as how
much material must be cut or filled, what areas to load out
or the number of compactor passes. Operator can view up-to-the-minute
plans, current topography and cross-sections, which the unit
updates as surface is altered. CATERPILLAR

LASER DISTANCE METER
Measures Hard-to-Reach Locations
The handheld Spectra
Precision Laser HD360 is a contractor's portable tool that
includes a data display screen and a six-button keypad. Using
laser technology, it is capable of measuring distance, area
and volume, with an accuracy of ±3 mm or better, at
ranges up to 60 m. Safety is improved because no physical
contact with the distance target is required. HD360 is capable
of measuring hazardous or inaccessible locations such as those
in high places, over obstacles or in lift shafts. TRIMBLE

VISCOSITY-MODIFYING ADMIXTURE
High Level of Segregation-resistance
Boral SL allows for
the production of self-compacting concrete, which is highly
flowable and requires no vibration for compaction while completely
filling the frame. Also maintains high level of segregation
resistance. Admixture helps achieve a smooth surface and ensures
compaction in areas that are difficult to vibrate. BORAL
