EquipmentWorld.com | November 2017 25 marketplace | continued Making fl uid changes easier Sage Oil Vac's new NextLube monitor system makes dispensing and changing fl uid as easy as a push of a few buttons. Among its features, the new touchscreen system, which is an option for the company's lube trucks and trailers, displays the amount of fl uid gallons inside the tanks, instead of the percentage of fl uid. That makes it easier for the operator to know how much fl uid is available. For further convenience, NextLube allows labeling of individual tanks, such as diesel exhaust fl uid, hydraulic fl uid, engine oil, etc. In sum, NextLube acts as a central control panel, giving operators automated fl uid dispensing and monitoring, the company says. More horsepower with less fuel Volvo's L20H and L25H compact wheel loaders are powered by Volvo D2.6M Tier 4 Final water-cooled engines using a diesel oxidation catalyst. Volvo says both models have 5 percent greater fuel effi ciency and 8 percent more horsepower than their predecessor models. With two speed settings, the fully automatic hydrostatic drive has the ability to reach a maximum speed of 18.6 mph, featuring a 26-foot, 11-inch turning radius, the 8-foot, 1-inch machines can maneuver around tight jobsites. A single joystick lever in the ROPS/FOPS cab controls three functions, including a variety of hydraulic attachments. You can use either an SSL Attachment Bracket for skid steer attachments or an ISO coupler for Volvo attachments. Compact compressor for the work truck Miller brought its new EnPak A28GBW air compressor-generator to ICUEE, designed to save weight and space on a work truck yet pack plenty of power. The EnPak delivers compressed air at 28 cubic feet per minute. It also features a 5,500-watt generator for electrical needs, battery charging and crank assist, the company says. It has versatile stick welding capabilities for fi eld repairs. Millers says the EnPak can save up to 550 pounds on a work truck compared to a PTO-driven air compressor and engine-driven welder-generator. Its Kohler Tier 4, 23.5-horsepower engine reduces fuel consumption and allows trucks to cut idling time by 75 percent, the company says. It weighs 558 pounds, is 20.25 inches wide, 46 inches long and 24.25 inches high.
