This week we look at a new range of telehandlers from Gehl and a portable welder from Nelson Stud Welding. Click the image to begin the slide show.
Product Snapshot: Telehandler and Portable Welder
The N550c Arc Charger is able to weld-drawn arc studs up to 3?8-in. in pitch diameter. The welder can draw a charge from a standard 120-volt outlet and store it until needed. Then, the N550c can continuously charge from the outlet while welding to ensure a constant power source. It weighs 86 lb and features built-in wheels for easy transport. Once the operator inputs a weld diameter and a base material type, the welder automatically selects the correct settings.

The Hitachi ZX470LC-6 Excavator has been updated with a Tier 4 Final engine. The excavator has an operating weight of 110,804 lb and features a hydraulic recirculation system in the boom for faster return during the dig cycle. The excavator�s engine uses exhaust-gas recirculation, a diesel oxidation catalyst and selective catalytic reduction to meet emissions standards. No diesel-particulate filter is needed. The excavator�s boom, arm and mainframe come with a three-year or 10,000-hour warranty.

The Gehl RS Series GEN:2 line of telehandlers consists of six models that range in rated capacities from 6,000 lb to 12,000 lb and lift heights from 19 ft, 1 in., to 55 ft, 1 in. The telehanders are powered by 120-hp Cummins QSF 3.8 engines that meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards. For greater stability, rear-axle stabilization features locks the rear axle whenever the boom�s angle exceeds 60�. The steering mode can be switched between four-wheel, two-wheel and crab steering. The open-frame cab design provides clear sight lines of the boom arm.

The Makita 18V LXT 61?2-in. Circular Saw features an electronically controlled brushless motor that can automatically adjust torque and revolutions per minute to meet demand on the tool. The circular saw runs on Makita�s 4-amp-hour, 18-volt lithium-ion battery platform. The saw�s brushless motor extends tool life and reduces overall weight compared to a traditional motor, resulting in a tool that weighs only 7.3 lb with the battery. The saw has a cutting capacity of 21?4 in. at 90�, with a bevel capacity of up to 50�. The tool�s casing has been engineered to channel dust and debris away from sensitive internal components.
