Ring-O-Matic
Ring-O-Matic Inc.
released its new
SubZero Series of
vacuum excavators, offering
full operation in
below-freezing
temperatures. The units are available as trailer- or truck-mounted systems
that can be customized to the owner's specifications.
The SubZero Series can be added to any standard VX Vacuum ranging
from 150- to 3,000-gallon spoil tanks, with a range of 600 to 3,000 cfm.
Recommended, optional jetter capabilities are available for cleaning lines
up to 12 inches.
The units feature increased water capacity over standard units. A dedicated jetter pump delivers 18 gpm at 2,000 psi. The machine can also be
equipped in the standard hydro excavation package with a 4,000 psi / 6
gpm pump. Other features include insulated water tank enclosures, heated valves, a fully enclosed water and jetter reel cabinet, power hose reels,
heater, six-way power boom, and heavy-duty, 14,000-pound torsional
axles. (800) 544-2518, ring-o-matic.com

Felling Trailers
Continuing its focus on
ensuring each trailer
meets and exceeds the
customer's needs, Felling
Trailers Inc. has added Blackwood
Lumber, an innovative, safety-focused decking material, to
its trailer option offerings.
Blackwood Lumber starts with treated
Southern Yellow Pine; each board has one-fourth inch milled out of the
topside. Once milled, the boards are infused with 6-mm-thick rubber
from reground tires, which sits just above - flush with the surface of - the
lumber, so equipment placed on the trailer always makes first contact
with the rubber.
Compared to other materials, Blackwood Lumber is safer, stronger and
lasts longer. Providing superior traction on any surface it's applied to, it
prevents slipping, and makes loading equipment easier and safer, even in
wet conditions.
The industrial grade rubber infused in Blackwood Lumber is the same
material used at gun ranges to absorb bullets, so it can withstand heavy
impact that would damage normal lumber. The infused rubber also
doesn't fade or crack like lumber, doesn't stain, and is easily cleaned with
water. (800) 245-2809, felling.com

HCSS
Updates to HCSS Safety's cloud-based storage and reporting of critical
data help enhance customers' ability to develop a culture of safety.
"Our program now allows safety personnel to show all near misses and
incidents by location and by date range in the event of an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) audit," said Gabriel Lacanlale,
product manager for HCSS. "Reports that previously took up to a week to
gather using paper reporting can now be accessed in about five minutes
from anywhere a cloud connection can be established."

company-wide,

Prinoth
As an alternative
to the traditional
D-dent track system, Prinoth's Panther T16 crawler
carrier now offers
metal embedded
solid rubber tracks
(MERT), which allow more versatility when crossing or traveling on roads,
as well as being gentler on shop floors when up-fitting or maintaining the
vehicles.
T16's undercarriage was completely redesigned for the rubber track
option, with five large wheels, and both a tandem and patented tridem
suspension. Tridem allows uniform distribution of the load over the rubber track, while offering the same suspension travel typical to all Panther
models.
The undercarriage is optimized by the automatic, hydraulically controlled track tensioning system, which prolongs the track's life and allows
for less maintenance and downtime. The endless rubber track on the T16
has the same unique zigzag-patterned design to increase off-road mobility, providing outstanding traction and side-hill grip.
Dump box or flatbed options give the Panther T16 the highest payload
available on rubber tracks - 33,500 pounds of bulk load material, and
gross vehicle weight rating of 75,000 pounds. The dump box is lined with
Hardox steel, making it extra sturdy to get the job done. (450) 776-3600,

ARDCO
ARDCO has introduced a new AMT Pipe Trailer attachment for the Articulating Multi-Purpose Truck (AMT). Designed for safe and efficient
handling of pipe, the AMT Pipe Trailer offers adjustable lengths and exceptional load capacity, making it ideal for off-road transport in pipeline
or utility construction applications.
Built specifically for the ARDCO AMT 600, the pipe trailer easily
attaches to the truck using a supplied hitch mount with conventional
fifth-wheel connection. The trailer features a flexible-load rear frame with
45-degree swivel capabilities, trailer axles with available braking system,
and various tire options.
