The 15-lb drill is able to work wet or dry and can be used in a handheld or stand-mounted configuration. A water swivel on the spindle allows for easy changeover to wet drilling; during dry drilling, the drill has a built-in air-hose connection for use with a dust-extraction system. It is available with a combination anchor-and-vacuum stand as well as a vacuum pump. The drill stand is adjustable up to 45�.

The Volvo A40G Articulated Hauler has a load capacity of 43 tons and a body volume of 31.4 cu yd. Powered by a 476-hp Volvo D16J engine that meets Tier 4 Final emission standards, the A40G features a specially designed drivetrain and in-line dropbox, allowing for high-ground clearance. Oil-cooled, wet multiple-disc brakes are standard, and the A40G also has full hydraulic suspension on all wheels. The hauler's automatic traction-control system switches between 6x4 and 6x6 drive combinations to save fuel and maximize traction. An onboard payload weighing system is available as an option on the A40G, while the A40G FS model can weigh loads using its full-suspension pressure sensors.
