Zero-Tail-Swing Excavator:
Increased Visibility
Designed for confined areas and crowded construction sites, the new 3803ZT zero-tail-swing compact excavator allows the operator to push material with maximum efficiency, the manufacturer says. It provides a maximum drawbar pull of 6,614 ft-lb. A load-sensing system automatically shifts between low and high range to lower cycle times. The zero-tail-swing design of the 3803ZT eliminates rear overhang and provides increased maneuverability and visibility for the operator. Mustang Manufacturing Co.

Corrosion Inhibitor: Protects Rebar
Manufacturer adds a new chemical corrosion inhibitor to its line of FastSet Commercial Grade products to help improve full depth repairs of highway bridges. The added corrosion inhibitor is designed to protect structural steel reinforcement bars by preventing oxidation after full depth repairs of highway bridges, parking garages, coastal facilities and other structures. The additive will allow the Commercial Grade products to absorb moisture and oxidation before it reaches the rebar. The QUIKRETE Companies Inc.; 800-282-5828; 507-451-7112; www.quikrete.com ×
