The TQ700 Lightweight Torque Wrench Pump is designed for use in wind turbine erection and maintenance. Many of the pump's structural components are made of lightweight aluminum and its size allows it to fit through wind turbine door hatches and other small spaces. The 1-hp IEC motor is designed not slow down when running off the variable voltage from small field generators.

The SpiderLine Temporary Horizontal Lifeline System has a maximum length of 300 ft. The system's stanchions allow for the lanyard to pass through without having to unhook and reattach. Extra-wide clamps allow for it to be mounted on beams as wide as 36 in. with 33/8-in. flange thickness. Stanchions are tilted 12.5� off-center to keep the walkway clear.

The JCB 457 Wheel Loader is powered by a Interim Tier 4, 8.9-liter Cummins engine that delivers 250 hp. It replaces the 456 model, and its heavier frame boosts its bucket carying capacity by a quarter of a ton. Other improvements include moving the hydraulic tank to beneath the cab to reduce chance of damage, and a sloping rear canopy to improve operator visibility. A new economy mode reduces engine output for fuel savings of up to 6%. A four-speed automatic transmission comes standard, with a five-speed power transmission available as an option.
