WORKSTATION IN THE SKY LIGHTING
Accessory Packages For Boom Lifts
New accessory packages
turn boom lifts into light towers for nighttime work in tunnels
or in other applications. They fit JLG's boom lifts with platform
heights ranging from 60 to 135 ft. The Sky Bright package
uses four or six lights, turning a boom lift into a 6,000-watt
light tower. Nite Bright has four 40-watt lights mounted on
the chassis and two 40-watt lights mounted on the platform
for more efficient work in low light conditions.

HOISTS
Low Voltage Indicator Light
This Pocket Climber
(PC-1) hoist is made to lift powered suspended platforms for
construction and maintenance work in commercial and industrial
applications. A low voltage indicator light tells the hoist
operator when voltage drops below optimal operating levels.
This feature is standard on all new hoists and can be easily
retrofitted in older models. POWER

REVERSIBLE PLATE COMPACTORS
Thumb-Tip Operated Lever
Two reversible plate
compactors, Bomag models BPR65/52D-3 and BPR75/60HD-3, deliver
14,625 lb and 13,950 lb of centrifugal force at 4,380 and
2,280 vibrations per minute, respectively. Both units are
equipped with a hydraulic travel control system that provides
a smooth, easy transition from forward to reverse travel modes,
the maker says. Also, an exclusive thumb-tip operated travel
lever is included, which makes it easy to change direction
or to hold the plate in a neutral position. COMPACTION

BARRIER WALL LIFTER
Automatic or Manual Versions
J-Lift barrier wall
lifters are available in two versions and can be used with
a number of machines ranging from backhoes to excavators.
The J-Lift uses the weight of the barrier wall to maintain
a strong grip. With the automatic version, the J-Lift is lowered
onto the barrier wall and the actuator unlocks and grips the
barrier, while the manual version allows the operator to pull
a lever to unlock the J-Lift, which then grips the barrier.

BOXED HOUSING BREAKERS
Narrow Profile
A series of boxed
housing breakers ranging from the TB725XC (2,000-ft-lb class)
up to the TB2580XC (13,500-ft-lb class), has been designed
with new features. These include a 20% narrower front head,
which gives the operator more visibility and better access
when trenching in confined spaces, a 10% reduction in weight
and a suspended boxed housing design that reduces noise and
vibration to the carrier. The breaker nose is surrounded with
abrasion-resistant plating for long life. The TB-XC series
breakers have only two moving parts and no accumulators. BREAKER
