710 Skytrak
A new fork lift tractor, the 710 Skytrak, largest in the Skytrak line, has been introduced by PCM Division of Koehring Company, Port Washington, Wis.
The 710, which replaces the 700, features a unique "shooting boom" which enables the 710 to raise materials to a height of 30' 6", reach out 16' at ground level or place material as much as five feet below grade. It is capable of lifting 4000 lbs. at 24" load centers, as compared to 3000 lbs. at 12" centers on the old 700 Skytrak.
Other features of the 710 Skytrak which combine to insure smooth performance are full power steering, torque converter transmission and hydraulic axle stabilizers.
The 710 is mounted on a heavy duty frame and powered by a 60 hp industrial tractor with five forward and reverse gears. Rear mounted, high flotation drive tires keep the 710 in and out of the most adverse construction site conditions. Its short wheelbase allows maximum maneuverability, and the low profile of the 710 permits operation under ceilings as low as 10 feet.

Felker Tile Saw
A remarkably flexible new tile saw-capable of making: 1. Diagonal cuts on 12" x 12" tile. 2. Through cuts on 18" x 18" tile. 3. 45° Edge-Miter Cuts on 12" x 12" tile. 4. Plus conventional straight, 45° diagonal, up to 90° angular, or 45° miter cuts on 4" x 4" or 6" x 6" wall tile-has just been announced by Felker Manufacturing Company of Torrance, California. Felker originated the Model S-610-B tub saw, most popular saw for the past 30 years in the entire tile trade.
Carefully engineered "wide-open throat" design gives the new Felker 610-E tray saw exclusive cutting capabilities found on no other tile saw. The sawing area is completely unobstructed. Even large tile units clear the single vertical support, water pump and motor during straight, diagonal, or 45° edge-miter cuts. This flexible new 610-E tray saw is equipped with a 1 h.p. specially designed G.E. motor, built to deliver years of trouble-free service. Equipped with a h.p. G.E. motor, it is designed as Model 610-D with otherwise identical design features.
Apart from tile saws, Felker Manufacturing Company produces a wide range of masonry saws, concrete saws, diamond blades and abrasive blades for masonry or concrete sawing, diamond core drills and many additional products for use in the contruction or industrial fields.
