productive, and is capable of keeping up with the
ever-growing list of high-flow attachments used on
today's toughest jobs. "
The industry-leading, 132-horsepower Cummins
engine, 50-gallon-per-minute maximum auxiliary
flow; and oversized, 66-gallon-per-minute-capacity
auxiliary pump, allow RT-135F to transfer more
engine power to the attachment, without sacrificing
machine performance.
Its new 52-gallon fuel tank - 22 gallons more
than RT-120 - means powerful machine can be used
longer, even all day, without refueling. Increased
productivity also comes from lifting more, due to
RT-135F's 4,150-pound rated operating capacity,
10-mile-per-hour top speed and 10.4-foot lift height.
RT-135F's undercarriage is upgraded for
maximum performance under the additional
weight. Redesigned torsion axles are 20-percent
stronger than their predecessors, allowing the track
to flex over obstacles and reduce impact to the
operator and attachment.
ASV's Posi-Track system features a flexible track
and an open-rail and internal positive drive-sprocket
undercarriage, for more traction, longer wear life
and faster, more convenient undercarriage cleaning.
With more ground contact points, RT-135F's
20-inch-wide tracks spread the machine's weight, for
a 4.6 psi ground pressure. This enables more flotation
and traction on steep, slippery and wet ground,
and enhanced control and pushing capabilities that
virtually eliminating the risk of track derailment.
A non-Forestry version (RT-135) is ideal for
high-intensity applications and high-flow attachments
in a variety of industries, including dirt
work, general construction, landscaping, snow
clearing and more.
Bringing the quality and reliability of its conventional
engine and mini-excavator technology
to a whole new level, Yanmar also unveiled its first
electric prototype.
Aimed at customers in the European market,
SV17e plays in the 1.5- to 2.0-tonne segment.
Powered by efficient electric drive and hard-working,
fast-charging 48-volt batteries, it's a quiet,
zero-emission machine designed to meet the most
demanding emissions restrictions.

RimRiser adjust-to-grade systems for manholes,
catch basins, and precast tops are now available
from RimRiser, Inc. and from foundries, precasters
and civil infrastructure suppliers in major markets
nationwide (and growing).
RimRiser's unique, bolt-adjusted riser technology
makes the process of leveling cast iron manhole
rings, inlet frames/grates and precast concrete tops
far simpler, faster and more accurate than any other
solution available.
By significantly reducing the crew, time and
equipment required to ensure that utility covers,
grates and tops are precisely leveled to grade,
RimRiser streamlines the paving process, keeps traffic
moving smoothly and protects roads from unnecesISCO
Industries Acquires IPF Fabrication Business
ISCO Industries, Inc., a Louisville-based high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping products manufacturer
and distributor, signed a Definitive Agreement to purchase the HDPE fabrication portion of Plasson USA.
Formerly known as " IPF, " an innovator in the fabrication business for 25 years, the acquisition
includes the Spirolite product line. The combination of two HDPE fabrication leaders will provide ISCO
customers with the most comprehensive product and service offerings in the industry.
Along with fabrication capabilities, the acquisition brings employees with decades of experience in
the HDPE industry. That knowledge is an invaluable resource for ISCO customers.
" Ensuring we take care of our customers is paramount to ISCO's business, " explained Lee Mizell,
ICSO chief operating officer. " To us, that means being able to provide them with solutions for almost
any situation. No two jobs require the same products. "
Since 1962, ISCO Industries, a global customized total piping solutions provider, has stocked
and sold a wide variety of HDPE pipe, piping materials. ISCO offers custom piping fabrication to
provide solutions for multiple applications such as: industrial, municipal, power, oil and gas, mining,
environmental, geothermal, golf, culvert-lining and landfill. The company also rents, services and sells
McElroy fusion equipment. *

sary wear - and costly repairs - that result from utility
covers that are too high, too low or shift over time.
RimRiser now offers more than 35 RimRiser-ready
castings, including models specified for 15 states,
and the company is adding new models regularly.
Leveling of manholes and other surface-level
infrastructure can be a time-consuming process
that requires multiple people and often relies on
outdated, unsafe and imprecise methods. RimRiser
solutions use a patented four-bolt system that allows
a single crew member to precisely level the riser to
the specified grade using a standard 5/8-inch nut
driver. This makes it easy to set it right the first time
and to adjust on-the-fly, if needed.
RimRiser's patented bolts are small enough to fit
in a pocket, making them easy to store and carry. And
because RimRiser-ready castings all use the same
bolt adjustable system, there's no need to order
special sizes in advance or worry about having the
right-sized shims or adjustable rings on the truck. *
