December 2016 | EquipmentWorld.com 20 marketplace | continued 20-percent more breaking power The Brokk 280 demolition machine features a 20-foot reach and weighs 6,945 pounds, while generating 25 percent more breaking power over its predecessor. The machine has both increased power per blow and more blows per minute. The upgraded electrical system includes hardened com- ponents and fewer moving parts, and optimizes performance by improving power supply quality and reducing ambient temperature. Brokk's Smart- Power system senses when there is a fault in the electrical supply, making it suitable for generators and unreliable power supplies. The 280 also features increased durability, including upgraded hardened steel parts throughout the system, headlight protection, reinforced corners and better coatings to protect against dust and scratches. LED work light can't be knocked over Ridgid's LED work light, the R8694820B, is weighted heavily on a rounded bottom, giving it the ability to remain upright. The light can be powered by one of Ridgid's 18-volt batteries, or it can be plugged in using an extension cord. The light also features a knob for lowering or raising the LED's brightness up to 1,000 lumens. If you opt for one of the batteries, it can power the light for 75 hours, but at the lowest brightness level. John Deere's 470G LC excavator, featuring a 13.5-liter Tier 4 Final engine, is designed to bring extra power to pipeline, mass earthmoving and road building projects. The excavator features an automatically cleaning diesel particulate filter that can go up to 15,000 hours before ash removal. In addition to engine and hydrau- lic oil sample ports, the excavator offers a battery disconnect switch, spin-on fuel filters and two additional water separators to maintain long fuel filter life. New to the 470G LC are optional 2D/3D grade guidance sensor mounting brackets. These brackets are welded to the boom, arm, dog bone, counterweight and mainframe at the factory, allowing for quick install of third-party grade-control sys- tems. The excavator also allows operators to choose from multiple productivity modes that balance engine performance and hydraulic flow based on the application at hand. An optional programmable thumb attachment mode allows operators to program oil flow for a variety of attachments via the in-cab LCD monitor. Extra power for heavy-duty jobs
