Telescopic crawler crane
Manitowoc’s Grove Hydraulic Crawler (GHC) crane, GHC140, features a 171ft (52.1m) six-section, pinned boom with a maximum capacity of 127t (140USt). When con gured with the 49.3ft (15m) o settable bi-fold swingaway, it has a maximum tip height
of 229.7ft (70m). Introducing new 1.5° load charts, the GHC140 o ers the ability to pick-and-carry at 100% of its load chart on inclinations up to 4°, and can swing loads 360°. With its pin telescoping boom, operators can handle a lifts at various radii. e GHC140’s crawler tracks easily navigate tough job site conditions with its 57% grade- ability track rating. e undercarriage is driven by powerful, two-speed hydrostatic drive motors. e track side frames can be hydraulically extended and retracted, providing three track spans with lifting capabilities at each span. is provides added versatility for the most suitable combination of crane width and lifting capacity. Additionally, the GHC140 can be transported to a job site in as little as four loads. Once it reaches the job site, it features a self-assembly counterweight and an undercarriage frame with jacks for easy self-assembly of the crawlers. In-cab amenities include a large air suspension heated seat, a climate control system for added comfort, a 7" (7178mm) screen for viewing the hoist, rear, and right side camera feeds, an intuitive graphical RCL system, and precise, electronic load-sensing joystick controls. A 20° tilting cab provides comfort when doing high-boom angle work. e crane can be out tted with one of two engine options, which provide strong and reliable power, and meet all current EPA requirements. ECO and Auto Idle modes help maximize fuel e ciency, and the engine compartment is tted with sound foam insulation to lessen engine noise and improve communication on the job site.

Comfortable, durable, and weightless head protection
e Ridgeline Full Brim Hard Hat is constructed of ABS material for strong and seemingly weightless protection. e helmet is easy to adjust with ratchet suspension allowing the wearer to modify the t while wearing. A soft, replaceable brow pad and ratchet suspension provides a comfortable t. e Ridgeline Cap Style Hard Hat is made of highly robust ABS material. e low pro le design has a low center of gravity for balance and features a four-position harness allowing harness adjustments forward, backward, up, or down for a personalized t. An easy to grasp knob to adjust the suspension from 6-1/2 to 8 as well as swinging hinge points that adjust to the most comfortable position on the back of the head. e Ridgeline Cap Style Hard Hat passes standards for reverse orientation, high temperature (HT), and low temperature (LT). Rear padded suspension and padded fabric and a polyurethane foam sweatband provides all-day comfort. A vented pressure pad keeps the head cool. e Ridgeline Full Brim and Cap Style non-vented head protection meets ANSI Z89.1, Type 1, Class E, G and C. Vented head protection meets ANSI Z89.1, Type 1, Class C. Hi-vis colors have been tested for the “HV” mark. Some options meet Canadian CSA Z94.1 - 2015 (•), Type 1, Class E, G and C standards – SEI third-party certi cation. Both hats are available in standard colors as well as Hydro Dipped patterns, which provides for a little extra style.

One drive, two tools
Enerpac’s RSL Series Low Pro le and Square Drive Torque Wrenches is a versatile, single-drive unit solution
with interchangeable hex cassettes and square drive heads allowing users to quickly change tools during operations, enhancing productivity and lowering
tool investment costs. Seven RSL Series drive units accommodate a wide range
of hex cassette sizes from 7/8" to 6-1/8” (22mm to 155mm), with maximum output torque ranging from 1408ft/lbs
to 28002ft/lbs at 10,000 PSI. e RSL Series feature a range of “Slimline” hex cassettes providing wide access to narrow spaces, like a blow-out-preventer, without compromising on tool durability or torque output. e RSL Series cassettes provide optimum strength-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios, with rugged alloy steel design and just three moving parts for reduced maintenance. e design completely encloses all moving parts
and minimizes pinch points. e RSL Series delivers accuracy to +/- 3%, with 30-35° of operating stroke to enhance productivity while avoiding “tool lock on”. A minimum nose radius ensures trouble- free tool t and the reaction arm has a simple dial lock for rapid changes. Robust handles are available for both sides and the tops of wrenches providing extra maneuverability. Back-Up Spanners and a number of optional accessories are available to provide maximum versatility. Enerpac o ers a large selection of air and electric pumps that are system-matched to hydraulic torque wrenches.

Compact modular recloser
Siemens’ Compact Modular Recloser (CMR) is a cost-e ective, reduced- maintenance alternative to single- phase, oil- lled reclosers. Fully
rated, lightweight, con gurable, and compliant to IEEE C37.60, the CMR is rated for 630A continuous current with four shots to lockout. It integrates
the switch unit, control, and voltage power source into a single-insulated epoxy housing, for reliability and easy installation. It has a 25-year pole-top
life that is maintenance-free except for replacing rechargeable batteries. e CMR reduces operating costs since it doesn’t require oil to be replaced or timing mechanisms to be adjusted. Its 630A continuous current capacity means it can be used for multiple applications and con gured as needed. Alternatively, it can be ordered precon gured and dropped in place without any set-up or con guration. e integrated GPS clock helps pinpoint the time of 10,000 events to within 10 milliseconds accuracy. e Siemens CMR has encrypted wireless data download, making reporting of network reliability easy, such as System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption Frequency (SAIFI), and Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI) data. e wireless download capability allows operators to download data securely and safely from the ground. e Siemens CMR harvests power from line voltage instead of line current, so the device can be self-powered even if there is no current on the line. Weighing under 50lbs, the CMR can be crossarm- or pole- mounted. Two models, 15kV and 27kV, both with 12.5kA short circuit withstand, are currently available.
