Low-flow planers feature manual tilt/depth control while high-flow models feature electro-hydraulic tilt/depth control. A water kit for dust minimization and optional pick sets designed for concrete and asphalt are available. Sizes are available from 12 to 40 inches.

CLEARSPAN, BOOTH H-30303 (i)

Custom-engineered storage buildings

ClearSpan Hercules Truss Arch Buildings feature natural light and spacious interiors without interior support posts. The natural light is said to stop moisture build-up, which prevents salt or sand from caking, and allows loaders and spreaders to handle the salt and sand easily. With minimal foundation requirements, the structures can be permanent or temporary, and are easy to relocate, according to the manufacturer. The truss buildings are custom-engineered to fit the requirements of a specific location, such as snow and wind loads or foundation type. The structures can be built to any length and up to 300 feet wide.
