Loading & Unloading: On More Idling
The new No Idle System� on Retriever truck beds from Up-N-Atom Inc. allows loading and unloading while the truck�s engine is off. Using a compressed-air system instead of the truck�s hydraulics to power the deck and ramp, the unit can handle up to a 30,000-lb payload. The No Idle System�s 60-gallon air tanks are filled to 120 psi after the truck�s tanks are filled. Operating while the engine is off, the system will save fuel and reduce overall emissions.

Diamond Blades: Reduced Friction
Bosch�s new Speedwave diamond blades feature an innovative design to keep blades cool and allow a smoother cut. The wave-shaped ridge along both sides of the blade helps reduce friction and drag during use. A specially mounted cooling disc, the first of its kind, draws in air as the blade rotates to keep it cool and extend the blade�s life. The blade is ideal for cutting cured and reinforced concrete, roofing tile and brick and masonry materials. Bocsh�s new diamond blades are available in 4.5, 5, 7 and 9-in. diameters.
