This week we look at a light tower from Terex and a walk-behind trowel from Atlas Copco. Click to begin the slide show.
Product Snapshot: Light Tower and Walk-Behind Trowel
The BG375 Walk-Behind Trowel weighs 185 lb and features four blades that range in length from 23 to 37 in. The trowel has a rubberized edge to reduce damage to walls or concrete, allowing it to be used for indoor work. For additional safety, the trowel's controls feature a pressure-activated switch that stops the blades within half a rotation if the switch is not depressed. The throttle control can be mounted on either side to accommodate left- and right-handed operators.

The XTXL E4/L4 Earthmover Tire replaces Michelin's XLD D1 tire, offering a 15% increase in load capacity and up to 10% improved overall lifespan. The tire features more steel cables than the earlier model, with a new steel belt to reduce the chance of punctures in the tread. The 35/65R33 size tire has a capacity of nearly 36 tons as a result of this increased reinforcement. The tire's tread features wide grooves and channels to provide additional traction on ground conditions with graded or loose soils.

The Terex RL-4 Light Tower has been redesigned with a smaller footprint, allowing for more units to be transported on a trailer. The light tower has a 23.4-ft vertical mast and sports four 1,000-watt metal halide lamps. It has a 45-gallon fuel tank which allows for a run time of up to 90 hours. The mast requires only one winch to erect and stows on top of the unit instead of hanging over the side, reducing the unit's footprint during transport.
