Multiquip makes work easier

Steering a ride-on trowel isn’t always easy but Multiquip’s Whiteman Series HTX and STX models simplify the task. Operators will quickly realize better steering response with less effort, and thanks to adjustable steering pressure, a lighter feel compared to previous hydraulic ride-on trowels. Whiteman’s patented Twin-Pitch system, which is electro-hydraulically powered, allows the user to simultaneously adjust the blade pitch on both sets of rotors on both trowels for greater control and flatter finishes. The rotor speed control lets the operator set the rotor speed thus reducing the amount of foot pedal travel and fatigue during low speed panning.

The 44-hp STX weighs approximately 2,230 pounds, uses five blades per rotor and has a path width of 92 inches. The 55-hp HTX is about 1,450 pounds, uses six blades on each rotor and has a path width of 117 inches.

Bend rebar the easy way
The Jimmy hydraulic rebar benders from Multiquip let contractors precisely shape #4 to #11 rebar on the work site. The seven models in the series do the job in seconds and allow the operator to easily bend rebar after it’s been placed in concrete. Each durable unit completes the task with minimal effort while generating maximum return on investment.

These units will bend rebar up to 180 degrees and they’re ideal for applications including offset bends or doglegs, 90-degree hook, 180-degree cane hook, straightening, and stirrup and tie hook. Minimum bend is from five to 14 inches (12.7-35.6 cm).

The portable Jimmy rebar benders range in weight from 22 to 110 pounds (10-50 kilograms) and a compact design allows simple bending in space-restricted environments. A separate 1 1/8-horsepower, 10,000 psi drive motor, model JPU1, supplies the power and it comes standard with a 25-foot (7.5 metres) long remote control for added versatility on the job.

All seven models in the series use an ACI-approved bending wheel to deliver accurate bends. Simplified caisson and column construction let the operator quickly remove the collar from a column base.
