This week we look at a hydraulic excavator from John Deere, an imaging thermometer from DeWalt, utility locators from Radiodetection, and a Tier 4 Final diesel engine from Cummins. Click here to begin the slide show.
Product Snapshot: Midsize Hydraulic Excavator and 'Tier 4 Final' Diesel Engine
The DeWalt 12V Max Imaging Thermometer features a temperature range of 14 degrees F to 480 degrees F. The 2.2-in. screen can display a thermal image, a normal image and a blended image that combines the two. The imaging thermometer is well suited for electricians, HVAC contractors and maintenance workers. DeWalt; 800-433-9258; www.dewalt.com

The C.A.T4 and Genny4 utility-finding tools allow for the quick, non-destructive location of buried pipes and cables. Both detectors feature an avoidance mode, which allows an operator to check a planned excavation area for all locatable signals simultaneously. The Genny4 has a dual-frequency feature that is able to locate small-diameter cables, while the C.A.T4 features StrikeAlert, which warns of very shallow utilities.

The 180G LC Hydraulic Excavator is powered by an 121-hp, Interim Tier 4-certified John Deere PowerTech diesel engine. The 18-metric-ton excavator features a hydraulically driven fan in the cooling system that only runs as needed, conserving fuel and reducing noise levels. For easier maintenance, the excavator's Machine Information Center captures and stores performance and utilization data to gauge productivity.
