Product Snapshot: Upgraded Field Controller and iT4 Loaders
The SunLite Strip daylighting panel is now available as an option on Butler's MR-24 Standing Seam Metal Roofing System. The dome-shaped lenses span the 24-in.-wide flat drainage plane between the standing seams. The self-curbing frame mounts to the rib of the seam to accommodate thermal expansion and requires few roof penetrations. The SunLite Strip's prismatic lenses direct diffuse light to the building's interior, reducing lighting costs. Butler Manufacturing; 816-968-3000; www.butlermfg.com

Bobcat has updated its 700 and 800 M-Series Loaders with engines that meet the Interim Tier 4 standard. The new engines feature auto-idle functions to conserve fuel. The company has upgraded the S850 and T870 models with a higher operational hydraulic pressure, resulting in greater breakout and lift forces as well as shorter digging cycles. A hydraulic control valve allows an operator to tilt attachments regardless of auxiliary hydraulic pressure, granting finer control over planers, wheel saws, grapples and tillers.
