M an Lift Manufacturing’s electrically

insulated aerial work platforms are used

where electrocution hazards exist, such as working

on or near any type of electrical wiring, cables or

poles. Electrically insulated aerial lifts can be utilized

where bucket trucks are currently used but provide a

different level of capability.

Our electrically insulated aerial lifts allow for

you to move the machine when the bucket is

elevated and work is being done around electrical

hazards, trees, plants and construction sites.

Moving from one work location to another work

location while elevated will save your crew time

and provide an optimal amount of safety around

electrical hazards.

Safety

H oneywell announces a simple cost-effective

way for companies to improve productivity

and regulatory compliance by connecting their

existing inventory of personal protective equipment

(PPE) using Honeywell’s cloud-based Safety Suite

software and specialized electronic tags.

This new Connected Worker solution

uses Honeywell’s ultra-high frequency radio

identification (RFID) tags that can be attached

to any safety equipment and are designed to

withstand the tough conditions characteristic

of many commercial work sites. The tags can

be scanned directly into Honeywell Safety Suite

software, which means equipment can be tracked

for usage, maintenance and training, resulting

in better, money-saving inventory management

decisions and compliance reporting.

K INSHOFER, a provider of high-quality excavator

and loader crane attachments,introduces the

NOX-Tiltrotator Series. The attachments’ universal

joint offers 360-degree continuous rotation and

tilting angles of up to 2- by-55 degrees, the widest

piston rather than a cylinder, for a streamlined

design and high-power performance in a variety

of tight areas and applications, such as road

construction, general construction and city snow

removal. These features, paired with its easy

serviceability make it one of the most advanced

excavator tools on the market.

“We designed the NOX-Tiltrotators to enhance

contractors’ productivity and ROI,” said Francois

Martin, KINSHOFER North America general

access key areas, which saves significant time.

This, combined with the quick-change system

and multiple attachment options, leads to high

efficiency on a variety of jobsites.”
