New & Improved New Miller Trailblazer 325 Diesel and Bobcat 250 Diesel Welder/Generators Reduce Fuel Use and Sound The new Trailblazer 325 Diesel and Bobcat 250 Diesel welder/generators by Miller Electric Mfg. Co. – both fully compliant with all applicable EPA Tier-4 Final emissions regulations – deliver multiprocess welding capabilities and smooth generator power, with innovative technologies designed for the professional welder. The Trailblazer 325 Diesel welder/generators are designed to extend runtimes by 55 percent, reduce fuel use by as much as 25 percent, and reduce noise by 40 percent for a safer, more productive jobsite. A redesigned case – now seven inches shorter and up to 80 pounds lighter –provides a smaller footprint, allowing a work truck to carry more equipment and heavier payloads. Two industry-exclusive technologies – both standard features – anchor the new Trailblazer 325 Diesel welder/generators: Smart-Cor technology and Auto-Speed technology. Smart-Cor technology provides independent weld and generator power, ensuring no interaction between the welding arc and jobsite tools. Auto-Speed technology automatically adjusts the engine speed to run at lower speeds depending on the total power needed, lowering fuel use and cost, and greatly reducing noise levels in the work area.

With an operating weight of 26,000 pounds and a maximum carrying capacity of 18,000 pounds, the RT9 is the largest mid-sized rubber track carrier that does not require special oversize permitting to transport the machine. Equipped with front and rear bolt-on connections, the multi-purpose carrier can accommodate various types of specialized equipment. Terramac says it can customize electrical power sources, frame adjustments and hydraulics to suit any attachment. In addition, within its capacity load limit, the RT9 can function as a material handler; a carrier for tools, supplies or personnel; an equipment hauler; a mobile crane or welding unit; or an off-road service vehicle. According to the company, the RT9 will not tear up the ground or road surface preventing jobsite ground damage. The bed on the RT9 elevates to a 67-degree angle for dumping gravel, sand, dirt and other materials making it capable of carrying supplies and materials. The bed can fold down, allowing the operator to side-load materials or equipment for carriage across rough terrain, delicate soil conditions and remote areas. A 230-hp (172-kW) Cummins diesel engine powers the RT9, which has as standard a rollover protective structure (ROPS) and falling object protective structure (FOPS) with open- and closed-cab options available.

(IMT) introduced its new and mid-range articulating cranes that offer new options, features and ratings with increased productivity and payload capacity to meet application needs. Models include the 9/65 SL and DL, 10/72 SL and DL, 11/78 SL and DL, 12/86 SL and DL with ratings ranging from 65,100 foot-pounds to 86,075 foot-pounds and maximum lift capacities from 8,380 pounds to 10,230 pounds. Each crane can be fitted with up to five hydraulic extensions to provide applicationspecific reach. New features include SL (single link) or DL (dual link) options, weight reduced by 10 to 15 percent from previous models and 15-degree "overbending." Overbending, the working area between the main boom and the jib, is no less than 195 degrees. It offers greater flexibility when working through narrow passages and under overhead obstructions, as well as the ability to lift maximum loads in all boom positions and a lower total height when the crane is stowed on the truck body.
