Aries Industries Partners with RinnoVision to Bolster
Infrastructure Inspection Solutions
Expanding its state-of-the-art products line, Aries
Industries now offers RV-Pro 360, RinnoVision Inc.'s
powerful manhole inspection system.
A fast, safe alternative to sending workers into
470 P-tier excavator
manholes to conduct inspections, the 360-degree,
virtual-reality RV-Pro 360 camera provides real-time
viewing of conditions inside pipes, manholes, tanks,
tunnels, wells and other confined spaces.
It's also innovative, reliable and cost-effective. Lightweight and waterproof, RV-Pro 360 can
fit into pipes as small as 5 inches in diameter and has a built-in, ultra-bright 3,300-lumens light.
Its rechargeable battery lasts up to 4.5 hours. The camera is controlled via cell phone, or a tablet
included with the unit. One person operating it can complete up to 80 inspections per day,
" The savings in time and labor costs are immediate and ongoing, " said Jim Kraschinsky, vice
president of sales at Aries Industries. " The RV-Pro 360 defines 'efficiency.' "
Founded in 1985, Aries Industries manufactures durable video pipeline inspection and
200 G-tier excavator
Building on its " Performance Tiering " strategy,
John Deere added new P-Tier excavators:
the large-sized 470, 670 and 870, and
mid-sized 135, 210, 245, 250, 300 and 345.
For customers looking to enhance their
job-site productivity, P-Tier excavator models
can be counted on to produce at high levels,
day in and day out.
For example, auto-idle technology automatically
reduces engine speed when hydraulics are
not used, helping to save fuel during operation.
The auto-shutdown feature further preserves
fuel, while the hydraulic reversing fan helps keep
the coolers clean in high-debris environments.
The hydraulic system helps balance engine
performance and hydraulic flow for predictable
operations and applications. An operator can
select the productivity mode - High, Power, or
Economy - that fits the job at hand, reducing
fuel consumption and operation cost.
Enhanced visibility features are another productivity
- and safety - booster. Standard
right, rear, and left camera systems, with
added LED surround lighting, all integrated into
the main monitor, provide a 270-degree view of
the area around the machine.
Also, 470 P-Tier comes equipped with grade
management options engineered to minimize
rework. Customers can choose a level of
technology that's right for them - 2D guidance,
2D SmartGrade Ready Control, and SmartGrade
3D Control - with the ability to upgrade as their
business needs grow.
rehabilitation systems, plus data management software, to meet the toughest challenges of
underground infrastructure and environmental applications.
The RinnoVision partnership is another logical step in Aries Industries' commitment to
enhancing municipalities and contractors' success by providing value-added, turnkey solutions
that improve condition assessment of the world's aging infrastructure. UI

The new mid-sized P-Tier machines boast
these advanced features and deliver exceptional
performance, efficiency and comfort.
With grease points at the arm-tip for easy
greasing, extended uptime and better torque
retention at the clamp, these new models were
designed to provide optimal performance
and easier serviceability. Plus, the redesigned
boom-foot bushings offer enhanced durability
for an extended machine life span.
In addition, the company introduced a
brand-new model to its family of G-Tier
excavators: 200 G-Tier.
Helping to enhance efficiency and reliability
without sacrificing power or torque, 200
G-Tier's PowerTech 4.5-liter engine delivers
optimal performance for operators of all skill
levels. Easy-to-maintain, high-uptime exhaust
filters help decrease downtime for service,
while in-monitor adjustable flow and pressure
auxiliary hydraulics are easily controlled using
the auxiliary function lever.
The 200 G-Tier's Powerwise Plus hydraulicmanagement
system combines extra ability
with smooth control and pinpoint finesse.
Through intuitive technology, the system
delivers on-demand power.
Offering precise pump flow, the pilot
controls are metered, helping to provide
reliable, fuel-efficient machine performance.
Supporting operator ease of use, ergonomically
correct, short-throw pilot joysticks on 200
G-Tier provide smooth, precise fingertip
control with less movement or effort.
Designed to provide consistency on the job,
by accommodating different operators with the
simple flip of a lever, the control pattern change
valve comes standard on the 200 G-Tier. Also
standard, is the pattern-control switch, which is
conveniently accessible at ground level.
John Deere G- and P-Tier excavators can be
equipped with a full line of buckets for various
applications. The new hydraulic coupler-ready
option includes factory-installed hydraulic
plumbing to the end of the arm, additional
coupler controls integrated into a switch in
the cab, and a quick and efficient coupler
installation capability.
Popular in the underground segment,
couplers allow excavators to efficiently switch
attachments and get more, productive working
hours each day.
