Coxreels V-100 Series vacuum hose reel
Coxreels' V-100 Series product line has been expanded with the new 1 1/4-inch vacuum hose reel V-112-735 without hose and the V-112H-735 with hose. The new model is a smaller frame size featuring 12-inch-diameter discs instead of the original 17-inch-diameter discs and is designed for use with 35 feet of 1 1/4-inch vacuum hose. The outlet connecting to the hose remains 1 1/2 inches and the 1 1/4-inch hose comes equipped with 1 1/2-inch slip cuffs on both ends for maximum flow. In addition to the new models, the swivel has been improved on the entire product line. The new swivel design still allows for the connection of multiple hose sizes by using the inside and the outside of the housing, but a greater gradual taper has increased the amount of compatible inlet hose cuffs. 800-269-7335; www.coxreels.com
Hitachi ZX210LC-6 HP excavator
Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas has introduced its line of Hitachi-built excavators to the Americas with the ZX210LC-6 HP excavator. A high-power HP Mode increases engine speed and hydraulic-pump output torque when extra speed and/or heavy-duty work is required. The front attachment moves faster because each actuator has its own pump. The oil flows separately to the bucket, arm and boom cylinders. To help drive performance, the ZX210LC-6 HP also includes an arm recirculation cancellation system for increased speed when rolling the arm in. A hydraulic boost system increases arm speed. During arm roll-in and boom-raising operations, excessive pressurized oil in the boom rod flows to the arm cylinder bottom side to achieve speedy arm operation by increased flow. The TRIAS II hydraulic system uses three pumps to supply an optimal amount of pressurized oil to each actuator. 866-973-0394; www.hitachiconstruction.com
