The show will include hands-on demonstrations of a broad range of construction and utility equipment over 25 acres of indoor and outdoor exhibits. ICUEE also features a comprehensive education program featuring industry experts on safety, regulatory, operational and technological topics. Products to be featured at the show: Bronto Skylift Booth N2054 Bronto Skylift will demonstrate truck-mounted aerials at ICUEE, including the SI- 197 HDT insulated aerial and the S-173 XDT with the Bronto Skylift +4 operating system. Mounted on a TOR 8X6 all-wheel steer chassis, the SI-197 HDT is capable of work on power lines up to 765 Kv AC and 560 Kv DC. It has 197 feet of working height and a 1,000-pound capacity from its standard 6 1/2-foot by 3-foot platform, with a 72-foot horizontal outreach, 360-degree continuous turntable rotation, push-button outrigger deployment and automatic outrigger leveling. Set up time to full elevation is less than 15 minutes. The heavy duty S-173 XDT is mounted on a 6X6 Peterbilt chassis, and has a 173-foot working height, 100-foot horizontal outreach, 1,400-pound capacity and 23-square-foot standard platform. The S-173 XDT will show the latest in Bronto's computerized operating and maintenance technologies, and introduce enhanced remote data collection capabilities. Case Construction Equipment Booth K277 The Case Construction booth will include the CX210D excavator, part of the company's lineup of five D Series crawler excavators. The 160-horsepower CX210D weighs in at 48,973 pounds and has a bucket digging force ranging between 31,923 and 34,621 foot-pounds. Like all models in the D Series line, the CX210D offers operational gains when compared to the previous series, including cycle times up to 12 percent faster, up to 14 percent greater fuel efficiency and up to a 6 percent increase in breakout force. The CX210D meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards via cooled exhaust gas recirculation, selective catalytic reduction and diesel oxidation catalyst technologies – without a diesel particulate filter or associated costs. Additional machines on display at Case include the TR340 compact track loader and the Tier 4 Final lineup of N Series backhoes. Condux Tesmec Booth L180 Condux Tesmec will show their entire line of stringing equipment at ICUEE, including hydraulic pullers, tensioners, puller-tensioners and stringing blocks, which include features such as negative self-acting hydraulic brakes, integrated hydraulic dynamometers, hydraulic cooling systems and complete user controls. Hydraulically controlled systems allow pullers to eliminate conductor galloping, providing maximum pulling control.
