Getman Power Buggy
Getman Brothers Manufacturing Co., Div. of Patent Scaffolding Co., P.O. Box 1145, Marion, Ohio 43302, has redesigned its 10 cut. ft. "Scootcrete" power buggy to carry up to 1 ton of concrete or other materials. The new model, WG-12, has a 12 cu. ft. capacity, giving it a payload 20% greater than competitive buggies, yet it has the same solid construction as Getman's larger 28 cu. ft. model. Safety features include "dead man" controls for brake and throttle, knuckle guards, and a heavy-duty disc brake.
Epoxy Cement
A fast-setting, two-component epoxy cement in a unique new dual-tube mixing syringe has been introduced by J. M. Enterprises, Inc., P.O. Box 7105, Duluth, Minn. 55807. The two-tube mixing dispenser eliminates the measuring and messy mixing usually involved with two-component epoxies and lets even a novice make instant and permanent repairs to all types of concrete. The Pro-Chem dispenser pack is ready to use simply by snipping open the syringe and attaching the patented mixing tube. Larger containers are available.
Concrete Joint Filler
Dayton Sure-Grip & Shore Co., 721 Richard St., Miamisburg, Ohio 45342, has added another versatile product to its diversified line of concrete construction hardware, accessories and chemicals. G-30 Expansion Joint Filler is a non-bituminous, clean, concrete-gray wood fiber material used in concrete and masonry joints to compensate for temperature-caused expansion and contraction. It can be used in any concrete application such as floors, walls, sidewalks, gutters, airport runways, highways and bridges. Since it is termite-resistant and will not rot, it is also suitable for foundation sill and top plate seals. G-30 is available in 4 preformed thicknesses from 14" to 1" as well as in 5' and 10' lengths and a full range of widths from 2 to 48.
"W" Design Pallet
This pretty miss is sitting pretty on the new "W" design all-steel pallet for building trade warehouse use. The design, developed by Bernard Franklin Co., 4424 Paul St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19124, is strong, rigid, and impact resistant. Ideal for hand pallet jacks or forklifts, these patented steel units eliminate breakages, splintering and repair costs. Two load capacities are available: 6,000 and 10,000 Ibs. dynamic and 25,000 lbs. static. There are five standard sizes, from 36" x 48" to 48" x 48.
Blueprint Storage
Plan Hold Corp., 17621 Von Karman Ave., Irvine, Calif. 92714, has introduced a total system for the compact storage of plans, prints, charts and other sheet graphics larger than letter size. Called the "Superfile," the system permits use of the 4 most common filing modes-binders, tubes, drawers and envelopes within a single cabinet. Five cabinet sizes are available-2 in the Alpha Series for sheet sizes ranging from 18 x 24" to 42 x 60", and 3 Omega Series cabinets, which also accommodate drawers, for sheet sizes of 24" x 36", 30 x 42" or 36 x 48.
Tile Data Sheets
A new series of four data sheets featuring the various properties of structural glazed facing tile has been released by Stark Ceramics, Inc., P.O. Box 8880, Canton, Ohio 44711. The 2-page data sheets each feature one of the four major benefits of the tile: impervious surface, thermal stability, fire safety and sound control.
Weather Barrier
Enclosing the working area for weather protection is a simple matter on Morgen Tower Scaffolding. Because the platforms are winched up as work progresses, a simple framework mounted on the platform supports overhead protection planks and enclosures of canvas or polyethylene. In many cases, sunlight through the plastic creates adequate heat within the enclosure, or supplemental heat can easily be added. For full details, contact Morgen Manufacturing Co., Yankton, S.D. 57078.
Lull Brochure
A 6-page, full-color brochure on the new Lull Speed-Lift Loader has been published by Lull Engineering Co., Inc., 3045 Highway 13, St. Paul, Minn. 55121. The brochure describes and illustrates 3 models with 14, 22 and 30 ft. heights; engineering and design features; range of attachments, and complete specifications.
Rough Terrain Crane
Extra reach and more lift capacity are the main features of a new Lorain rough terrain crane now available through the Koehring Crane and Excavator Group, P.O. Box 2060, Milwaukee, Wis. 53201. The Lorain LRT 275 has 2½ tons more lift capacity than comparable-size units and is rated at 27½ tons at 12 ft. Capacities at medium and long radii also are equally impressive for this new hydraulic crane.
Waterproof Suit
Uniroyal, Inc. has added a new "Comfort Suit" to its line of protective outerwear. The economically priced suit, including yellow overalls and 29" jacket with detachable hood, features nylon on the outside and smooth polyurethane on the inside. The suit's outer layer of mesh-weave nylon contributes to its feather weight. It also is cool, soft to the touch, and durable.
