ULTRASHORE
UltraSHORE, a division of Trench Shoring Systems Inc., was invented by a contractor for contractors. Made of a specially corrugated aluminum, ultraSHORE trench shields weigh hundreds of pounds less than other shoring products. The product is lightweight, easy to use, and a real workhorse saving time and money. All panels can be used horizontally or vertically and are stackable. Users can easily close off one or both ends with quick-release, spring-loaded, end-closure panels. One person can lower a single pair of assembled panels into an excavation. UltraSHORE conveniently transports in a pickup truck.

KENCO
The Slab Crab makes removal of concrete slabs and bridge decks a one-man job. The contractor simply saw-cuts the concrete into manageable slabs and picks them up. They can then be loaded directly onto the truck bed. A single operator can remove slabs cleanly, without disturbing sub-base, in record time. Slab Crab models can accommodate slabs ranging from 4 inches to 20 inches in thickness. This bucket is available for excavators from 5,000 pounds to 150,000 pounds, and models are also available to fit skid-steer and backhoe machines. The efficiency of the Slab Crab concrete removal bucket saves the contractor money by reducing labor costs, debris and cleanup costs, and material expenses. The Slab Crab is available as a direct pin-on or to accept the Kenco WedgeBolt coupler system.

ALPINE EQUIPMENT
Alpine Equipment introduces its rock-concrete saw attachment (photo left) as an option on its line of hydraulic rock-concrete grinders (photo right). Ideal for microtrenching, slot-cutting, and roadwork, these attachments are available in eight sizes to fit carriers of any size. High output torque and gear reducers maximize cutting forces. The saws can be customized to customer requirements for width and depth of cut. Additionally, the rotary cutters are easily equipped with wood-cutting bits for stump grinder or mixing blades for soil blending. Rock-concrete cutting, slot-cutting, soil mixing, and stump grinding make this a versatile attachment that offers excellent return on investment.

MALA GEOSCIENCE
Mala, the world leader in ground-penetrating radar, is known for providing cost-effective and easy-to-use systems for many applications, particularly concrete imaging for detection of such embedded objects as rebar, post tension cables, utilities, and other features. The CX-11 set the standard for ease of use in the field upon its release just a few years ago. New in the fall of 2009, Mala announces an even simpler interface for the CX-11 system improving upon an already fantastic platform. The new interface, coupled with full-remote capabilities from integrated antenna controls, makes the CX-11 the most field-efficient system on the market. The ability to select one of three predefined depth windows saves time during setup at each survey location. Image clarity and interpretation takes a giant leap forward with instantaneous 2D migration by transposing cluttered images into clearer well defined scans during data collection.
