The blankets are designed to reduce ambient temperatures within enclosures or engine compartments of mobile equipment. Wrapping exhaust systems can also increase engine performance, effectively allowing for energy savings. It also offers personnel protection and shields delicate systems from heat and fire prevention."Now more than ever it is important to shield sensitive components such as electronic controls from heat," said Herman. "In addition to keeping heat off or away from other components, the product does well at trapping heat where it may be needed."

"The Cat engine, combined with the new anti-stall hydraulic drive system, gives the PB50 and PB65 increased performance and makes it easier for the new operator to drive like a pro in rough terrain."Both of the Piggy Back machines are highly maneuverable--turning radius is 78 in. and gradability is 50 percent--and can reach speeds of 8 mph. Braking is dynamic and to hold the machine when parked, the front wheels are also equipped with Poclain brakes.The PB50 offers a standard lift height of 86 in. with optional lift heights as high as 165 in. available. Dimensions of the 5890 lb. machine are 96 in. high, 100 in. wide and 136 in. long. The PB65 weighs 7000 lb., and shares the same height and width dimensions, but is 5 in. longer than the smaller machine. Both have a ground clearance of 15 in.

Though light in weight, Airbor magnetic drill has a powerful 1.6-hp air motor and 1,600-lb magnetic holding strength. With its extra rack, stroke length is extended to 10 1/4 in. Annular cutter capacity is up to 2 1/16 in. diam. Geared chuck adapter converts the unit to a standard drill press. The Slugger Air Force pneumatic drill, at 24 lbs, 6 1/4" high, is useful for confined area drilling. The drill''s features include a permanent magnet that turns on or off by air power, a cutter capacity of up to 1 1/16" diameter x 3/4" depth and the ability to use ShortSlugger cutters and frame cutters. These cutters'' geometry allows the operator to drill multi-layered truck frames in a single pass.
