Trust Cat Pumps reliability for hydroexcavation
Cat Pumps’ 2565T13 plunger pump delivers the proven performance OEMs rely on for hydroexcavating and sewer jetting, producing 20 gpm at 3,000 psi. Built for mobile equipment where every inch matters, the 2565T13 utilizes a compact direct-mount SAE-B flange and 13-tooth hollow spline shaft, eliminating the bellhousing and reducing pump width by more than 7 1/2 inches. This smaller footprint frees critical cabinet space and streamlines hydraulic-drive integration. A solid brass block manifold protects against pressure spikes, cavitation and flaking caused by dirty water sources while the industry’s leading crankcase coating guards against harsh job site environments. The wet end is easy to service from the front, enabling fast, reliable on-truck maintenance. Performance-proven and backed by Cat Pumps’ worldwide distribution network, the 2565T13 is engineered to outperform and outlast in demanding mobile applications. 763-780-5440; www.catpumps.com

A 167 foot-per-minute carriage speed, a 257 rpm rotational speed and a compact 48-inch width excels in tight urban job sites. The drill delivers 19,500 pounds of thrust/pullback with 2,250 ft-lb of rotational torque powered by a 74 hp Deutz Tier 4 Final engine. The drill’s narrow footprint and 3.3 mph tracking speed make it well suited for fiber-to-the-home installations and urban utility work. 641-628-3141; www.vermeer.com
Vactor dual hose reel for Ramjet trailer
The Vactor Ramjet trailer now features the option of a dual hose reel for increased efficiency, versatility and convenience for a variety of sewer cleaning jobs. The dual hose reel option features the main sewer hose plus one smaller hose designed for lateral pipes, providing the ability to tackle a wider variety of drains. Generally, the lateral hose has a diameter of 1/2-inch while the vertical hose is 3/4-inch or larger. With two hose reels, one hose allows the jetter to run 3,000 psi at 36 to 40 gpm while the second smaller reel is capable of 3,000 psi at 18 gpm. Having this versatility means the jetter can combat heavy debris and sludge in city mains and culverts while also navigating smaller lateral pipes with blockages. 815-672-3171; www.vactor.com

Werk-Brau 40EX-HD brush shredder
Werk-Brau’s 40EX-HD brush shredder is a robust tool that transforms backhoes and compact excavators into powerful mulchers and long-reach boom mowers. With a 40-inch cutting width, and hefty triple flail knives that cut material up to 5 inches, this 1,170-pound workhorse turns trees, brush and woody material into mulch quickly and easily. Built tough for remote work, the shredder features a heavy-duty, single-piece frame, a 1/2-inch thick cutter drum and 3/8-inch thick end plates. A standard piston motor requires 25 to 54 gpm of hydraulic flow and adapts to high-pressure power units, while the direct drive design maximizes power to the cutter drum. An electronically balanced cutter drum with serviceable hubs ensures straight shafts that run smooth for years of reliable service. An integrated thumb saddle works like a bucket to grab and remove debris or reposition logs. Anti-wrap wire guards protect bearings and seals from debris. Composite dampener washer isolates vibration and increases drive component lifespan. 800-537-9561; www.werk-brau.com
