ALL ERECTION & CRANE RENTAL
Manitowoc MLC300
The ALL Family of Companies adds 10 new 330-USt Manitowoc MLC300s to its fleet. The MLC300 features the exclusive Variable Position Counterweight (VPC) system. The counterweight is centered between the fully retracted and fully extended positions, automatically balancing the crane’s center of gravity. A patented rail system transfers the counterweight from back to front, depending on the boom extension. The VPC helps reduce the crane’s operating footprint, which in turn helps reduce the ground-bearing pressure and the amount of ground preparation required for crane operations. The Manitowoc MLC300 is a time- and cost-saver and helps boost productivity. www.allcrane.com.

InEight Inc. announces the release of InfinyD Enterprise Resource Viewer (ERV), a visual solution that enables companies to integrate 3D BIM models with project schedule, procurement, cost, and other desired data to improve efficiency, visibility, and control.

With InfinyD, construction teams share a unified visual model enriched with relevant project data, ensuring better communication, alignment, and efficiency. Additionally, InfinyD compiles as-built details to streamline the turnover process and enables owners to efficiently conduct ongoing maintenance. www.ineight.com.

ATLAS COPCO
Upgraded Trowel
The BG245 trowel is relatively light weight and compact, providing versatility on concrete slabs. The BG245 comes equipped with 24-inch-long blades and features a rubber edger to prevent damaging walls or concrete, which makes it ideal for use on indoor worksites. Comes standard with a gas-powered, high-capacity Honda or Vanguard engine. Using the controls, operators can adjust the angle of the blades and speed easily without impacting productivity. This variable speed means operators can perform either high speed burnishing or low speed, high torque floating. The unit’s centrifugal clutches disconnect the drive train from the engine as soon as the operator releases the grip. This stops the blades within 180 degrees of rotation. www.atlascopco.com.
TRIPLE E
SHERPA Mini Skid Steer
The SHERPA 100ECO is the first battery-powered mini skid steer in the world. At only 30.7 inches wide and weighting only 1,600 lbs., it can easily fit through any standard doorway or in an elevator. The 100ECO is 100-percent fume-free, so you are no longer restricted on access in hospitals, indoor shopping malls, occupied schools, and high-rises. A hydraulic auxiliary allows for multiple attachment functions, such as a hydraulic hammer, grapple bucket, rolling sweeper, or pallet forks. 8-9 hour battery life. Charge the machine at the end of the day in as little at 7 hours using a standard 110V or 220V outlet and you’ll be ready to work in the morning. www.EEEequipment.com.
CASELLA
Apex2Plus™ Sample Pump with Airwave™ App
Air sample pumps are used for capturing contaminants, such as silica and asbestos at a jobsite or demolition project. Until now, sample pumps required constant attention and caused interruption of work when safety staff needs to check the pump status. Apex2™ changes all that. Imagine viewing flow rate, sample volume, battery status, and restart attempts on multiple pumps from up to 75 feet away … and starting/stopping your sample without interrupting workers. Compact, reliable, 5 liter/m pumps that pull prodigious backpressure—you’ll want Casella’s Apex2. Go online to connect with Casella and see its video in the “news” section: www.casellausa.com.
