Lift longer on one charge The Vacuworx PS 1 Portable Lifting System now has a 12-volt, 22-amp-hour battery that will fully recharge in 8 hours or less without overcharging. The battery will pro- vide 6 to 8 hours of intermittent operation run time, allowing recharging at night after a day's work. The 25-pound compact, portable vacuum system can lift up to 1,700 pounds, and now the vacuum pump draws less power from the battery, allow- ing longer periods between charges. An inline fi lter protects the system from dust and debris. EquipmentWorld.com | March 2018 17 Bringing back the traversing boom After leaving the traversing-boom telehandler market for three years, Pettibone has returned with the Traverse T944X, which offers up to 70 inches of horizontal boom transfer. The company says it's the only new traversing telehandler on the market. It boasts a lift height of 44 feet, 6 inches, and forward reach of 35 feet, 10 inches, allowing it to safely land a load on a fourth fl oor. It runs on a 74-horsepower Cummins 3.8-liter Tier 4 Final engine that requires no diesel exhaust fl uid. An optional 117-horsepower engine is available. Larger drum, higher compaction BOMAG's upgraded BW 138 AD-5 tandem vibratory roller fea- tures a large drum diameter and high compaction force. Its 54.3- inch rolling width makes short work of granular soil and asphalt compaction on projects ranging from parking lots to city streets, the company says. The optional Economizer system alerts opera- tors to compaction progress, so they can work more effi ciently and avoid over-compaction. The roller runs on a 45.1-horsepower Tier 4 Final Kubota diesel engine and produces dual vibrating frequencies of 3,000 and 3,360 vibrations per minute.
