Product Snapshot: Demolition Excavator and Pipe-Fusion Shelter
8D DoubleShot PLUS wrenches have a torque capacity of 200 lb-ft. They feature a new ratchet-engagement design that is intended to reduce the change of slippage when applying torque. Two models are available: The DSP1 has a 11/4-in. by 11/16-in. hex double socket, and the DSP2 has a 11/8-in. by 15/16-in. hex double socket. Both wrenches are 13 in. long and weigh 13/8 lb. The ratchets have 36 teeth and 10� of throw for easier usage in tight spaces. The wrenches' bolt-through design allows for them to be used on long bolts or threaded rod.

The McElroy QuickCamp System is mobile shelter designed for pipe-fusion work. The enclosure keeps the pipe-fusion equipment and operator out of the elements during the process. The QuickCamp is lighted and insulated and has built-in heating and air-conditioning. Seals around the pipe are designed not to damage the pipe. Designed for use in laydown yards or out in the field, the QuickCamp can be shipped in a 20-ft by 8-ft cargo container.

The Volvo L250H Wheel Loader is able to load a 25-ton triaxle truck in two passes. It is powered by a Tier 4 Final engine that uses a diesel-particulate filter to meet emissions standards. The wheel loader uses Volvo's OptiShift technology, which features reverse-by-braking and a torque converter with lock-up that can reduce fuel consumption by up to 18%. An eco pedal is meant to keep the operator from using too much throttle during normal operation. It has a 9-cu-yd bucket and sports a Z-bar linkage for greater breakout force. An optional boom suspension system can boost productivity by absorbing shocks and reducing bucket spillage.
