Topcon

Longest scanning range

Topcon Positioning Systems’ (TPS) imaging station – the IS-3 – takes the industry’s longest scanning range and increases it by almost 20 percent to 6,500 feet, according to the company. In addition to its increase in non-prism scanning range, the IS-3 increases distance measurement speed, automatic scanning speed and accuracy substantially. The station’s patented prism tracking scanning interface technology – X-TRAC 8 – has a new onboard feature that provides quicker scanning definition, faster image collection and an onboard preview of scanned data. ImageMaster software, which comes standard with the IS-3, now includes free volume calculations. The feature provides users full live video control through their laptop to measure points, track prisms and define scan areas. Additionally, the IS-3 has a new high-space “Grid Scan” feature that obtains 3D data by automatically scanning at a specific pitch within a specified area.

NuStar

‘If it rolls, we can move it’

NuStar’s Power Pusher can be used in lieu of a forklift to save on fuel costs. The company embraces the mantra, “If it rolls, we can move it” for the company’s Power Pusher pedestrian-operated, battery-powered pusher. According to NuStar, it is significantly less expensive than a forklift, and operators do not need a license. The pusher also comes with a built-in battery charger that plugs into a standard outlet. With a footprint less than 2 square yards, the Power Pusher can be stored at a jobsite and is easy to transport from site to site. One person can use the device to push, pull and maneuver wheeled loads up to 150,000 pounds, or those with high-rolling resistance.

LAB Hot Air Lances

High-velocity hot air to cure cracks

LAB Hot Air Lances clean, dry and prepare pavement cracks and joints with high-velocity hot air. This ensures a dry work area for crack-filling crews to start on time, regardless of a recent rain. Because of the high-temperature, flameless hot air, crack-sealing work can be continued all year long by assuring clean dry cracks prior to a hot-pour application. The high-velocity hot air completely prepares the area without disturbing the surrounding surface. High-temperature, hot-air drying significantly enhances the durable bonding of any sealant. All LAB models are constructed of stainless steel and are available with 40- or 50-foot hose kit assemblies.
