This week we look at a new tower crane from Terex and a wind turbine bolt tensioner from Boltight. Click on the image to begin the slide show.
Product Snapshot: Luffing-Jib Tower Crane and Wind Turbine Bolt Tensioner
The Fabricator 211i is a fully integrated MIG-Stick-TIG inverter welding system that can deliver welding ranges of five to 150 amps on 115 VAC and five to 210 amps on 230 VAC. It weighs 57.3 lb and can work on generator power. It has stick arc-force control to adjust arc characteristics for all electrodes. The welder comes with a Tweco MIG gun, stick electrode holder and work clamp. Options include a TIG torch and foot control, a spool gun for MIG aluminum and a protective roll cage.

The Caterpillar H75E Hammer is designed for backhoe loaders and small excavators. It is able to deliver 1,000 ft-lb of energy and 840 to 1,650 blows per minute. The hammer features an automatic shutoff, which stops the hammer when it breaks through material, reducing damage from blank firing. It features a gas-fired system to maintain constant power between service intervals. The hammer is designed to curl and tuck under a Cat backhoe loader boom for transport.

The Terex CTL 650 F45 Luffing Jib Tower Crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 49.6 tons and is equipped with a 213-ft jib. It features Terex's latest EVO 15 operator cab and includes safety features such as jib walkways and handrails. All of the crane's hoisting and luffing winch drums are linked to their own separate emergency braking system. The crane's platform and A-frame both fold to be carried in a single piece on a standard truck, reducing transportation costs. Terex Cranes; 319-352-3920; www.terex.com

The Foundation Bolt Tensioner is designed for use in wind-turbine construction. Bolts on the base of wind turbines are located very close to the tower structure and do not allow for bulky tensioning tools. The device's designers fashioned it to perform a minimum of 10,000 pressure cycles; it features both an over-stroke prevention device and a maximum stroke indicator. Options include a spring return, gear-driven nut run-down and single or twin connections. Boltight Ltd.; www.boltight.com
