New & Improved BOMAG's BW100AD-4 Light Tandem Roller Features Smart Steering Wheel Powered by a Tier-4 Interim compliant, 32.6-horsepower, watercooled Kubota diesel engine, the BOMAG BW100AD-4 tandem vibratory roller features enhanced operator's station with smart steering wheel. The machine's Smart Drive steering wheel has a smaller diameter, providing maximum operator comfort and a clear view of all indicator controls. A laterally sliding seat offers an excellent view of the drums. Delivering up to 8,350 pounds of centrifugal force per drum and a maximum frequency of 4,200 vibrations per minute, the BW100AD-4 has a standard crab walk allowing the roller's rear drum to be offset by 1.6 inches in either direction for maneuverability around site obstructions. With several standard safety features on the BW100AD-4, including ROPS with safety belts, back-up alarm, and emergency stop button, the roller's engine cover and dashboard are lockable to protect against vandalism. The BW100AD-4 can be used on a variety of commercial and municipal applications, including asphalt and base compaction, road shoulder work, parking lots, and asphalt patch repair.

Allied-Gator Introduces New Blade Design for MT Mobile Shear Allied-Gator offers a new blade design exclusively for the MT mobile shear with the introduction of the patentpending Serrated Gator Blade. The new technology is offered as an option available to any current Allied-Gator MT customer regardless of tool size. Allied-Gator says no product modifications are needed to the MT. The serrations of the MT's new blades are designed to pass through material like a saw blade rather than forcing the shear to chop through a large mass of material like an axe. The new blade design does not rely solely on sharp shear blade edges to achieve the cut. The blades generate a tearing action instead of a 'snipping effect.' This allows the MT shear to grip and tear scrap materials, which is a far more efficient cutting method than the traditional 'scissoring effect' utilized by all other mobile shear blades. As the MT's dual moving shear jaws close on structural steel, each serration systematically yields and tears scrap material along the blades' cutting path, reducing the overall wear and tear to the tool. According to the company, the technology is also effective in processing materials, like stainless steel and thin sheeting. The Allied-Gator Serrated Gator Blades are available for all 11 sizes of the MT Series Multi-Tool line. For more information visit www.alliedgator.com.
