Blue gets the red out
After years of consumer, technology and manufacturing research, Walls has developed a jacket that looks, feels and wears like contemporary stonewashed outerwear, but has the flame-resistant technology and special features to protect the wearer in hazardous environments.
The sturdy, 100% cotton, FR-treated denim jacket is designed for safety right down to the YKK faux shank buttons, which won’t melt in high temperatures, and is fastened instead with inside snaps, so it can be ripped open quickly in case of fire or electrical arc.
The patented ITEX-processed fabric delivers 14.8 cal/cu meters ATPV for utility and 70E workers so that the jacket will meet or exceed U.S. government standards with protection that will never wash out.

Lit up
U.S. Architectural Lighting expands LED technology with a new series of wall-mounted Trilux fixtures featuring Luxeon K2 high output LEDs.
The Luxeon system is engineered for maximum output and symmetric light distribution with 9w, 18w, 27w, 36w and 50w LEDs mechanically bonded to a patented aluminum heatsink. The Trilux LEDs provide high lumen output in 5500K neutral white (other colors are available).
A proprietary LED driver accepts input voltages from 100VAC to 277VAC and is encased in water-tight housing. Direct heat conduction allows for maximum light output and extended lamp life. The lens is constructed from clear borosilicate glass, and a precision injection-molded parabolic reflector is vacuum metalized for maximum reflectivity.

Bringing up the rear
Roadtec engineers have designed the new paver seats to slide out to the side in a straight line instead of swinging out on an arc. The straight sideways movement of the seat results in a position that allows visibility down the side of the machine and also to the rear augers.
Augers should never be buried in mix at any point and augers should never be raised too high because this could cause mix to push forward under the paver. If there is too much or too little material around the auger, problems in the paved surface will result. Paving speed, flow-gate settings and feed-sensor position regulate material flow. Being able to easily see the augers allows the operator to monitor these variables and to deliver mix evenly across the augers and thus across the entire leading edge of the screed plate, which is a requirement for a segregation-free mat.

Gets the job done
Kubota has introduced the new gas-powered RTV500 compact utility vehicle that comes with the comfort, technology and refinement of a larger utility vehicle, but is compact enough to fit in the bed of a full-size, long-bed pickup truck. The RTV500 is powerful enough to handle the toughest challenges on rugged terrain.
Unlike ATV-based power plants that require constant throttle adjustments to maintain RPM levels, the Kubota GZ460FE3UV engine features a liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder design that ensures smooth, quiet, consistent power delivery throughout its power band. The electronic fuel injection further improves engine performance by providing quick, easy starts, even in the most severe weather conditions, as well as on-demand power and optimized acceleration. It also eliminates the need to adjust the carburetor.
The RTV500 comes standard with Kubota’s exclusive new “VHT Plus” variable hydrostatic transmission, which eliminates the need to adjust belt drives and provides smooth, reliable transmission-assisted braking and hill-holding capabilities. Weighing 1,278 lb, the RTV500 can handle upwards of 440 lb or 9 cu ft in its durable, metal-dumping cargo box. It can tow up to 1,100 lb.
