Rail System
Sur-loc, Inc. of Fremont, IN introduces the patented Climber's Buddy rigid rail system to insure the safety of those working on industrial ladders and towers. Developed by engineers and professional riggers, the Climber's Buddy system features an instant grab-action cam, locking climbers to the rail if they lose their footing. The cam is mounted to an aluminum or fiberglass ladder and incorporated safety rail, and will lock into any position during a climber's ascent or descent. Aluminum and fiberglass safety rails are also available to retrofit existing ladders. The Climber's Buddy system meets all OSHA and CSA standards, and has been used by U.S. Government agencies for over 15 years. For more information, contact Sur-loc, Inc., P.O.

Hydraulic Mixer
Stone Construction Equipment, Inc. is pleased to introduce the latest addition to the Stone Champion Mixer line: a 12 cu. ft. hydraulic mixer with an innovative high dump system, the HM 1290. The high dump on this direct-drive hydraulic workhorse is created by a unique offset pivot. It allows full discharge of the mix into wheelbarrows and buggies, while providing a lower, more convenient charge height. The high torque-rated drive system provides a smoother paddle action and better handling of stiff mixes. For information, contact the Stone Construction Equipment, Inc., 32 Main Street, P.O.
