ROADRUNNER CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
Grader-Spreader Maintainer
The Roadrunner C Series Grader-Spreader Maintainer has evolved to become the Super “C” with the addition of bolster wheels. It retains the ability to grade packed gravel, especially with the serrated cutting edge. It continues with independent adjustment to each side to create and maintain a crown and controls depth of cut. The long skid bars prevent dipping and gouging. The side panels eliminate windrows and retain the material within the area being graded. Angled dual blades prevent washboards. Bolster wheels enhance its fine grading characteristics. It becomes an efficient stone spreader. For more information, visit www.roadrunnerblade.com.

KENCO
Barrier Lift
Contractors prefer Kenco’s Barrier Lift to handle precast barrier and curbing because of its ability to grab and release wall automatically from inside the cab. The Kenco Barrier Lift has been redesigned, including handles that are now integrated on both sides so ground personnel can guide the lifter into the desired position from either side of the wall. All models are now designed to grip top wall widths from 6 in. to 12 in. The legs have a narrower profile for lowering the lifter into tighter spaces and allowing for closer stacking operations. Rotating pad angles automatically conform to the slope of tapered walls. A larger elastomer pad area ensures a more secure grip, even in wet conditions. Lifting capacities are available from 9,000 to 40,000 lbs. Kenco furnishes attachments for excavators from mini to 200,000 lbs, wheel loaders from 1 to 40 yds, dozer, backhoe, and skid steer machines. For more information, visit www.kenco.com.
