Mazio Tilt-Rotator
Mazio’s new Tilt-Rotator for excavators works with excavator tools such as grapples, buckets, or shears to provide more versatility and precision. They not only rotate 360°, but they also tilt side-to-side by up to 55°. This ability reduces the need for the operator to move the excavator while performing tasks and allows access to narrow spaces and urban projects. Featuring a hydraulic quick coupler, the Mazio Tilt-Rotator allows the operator to remain in the cab while changing tools. Operators can also enjoy maintenance-free operation, with no grease points and no cylinders.
STIHL MSA 220 TC-O
The new STIHL MSA 220 TC-O is the most powerful top-handle chain saw in the STIHL battery lineup. With a high chain speed, a magnesium motor housing, and a brushless motor, it can hold up to a heavy workload. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake system is designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. A side-access chain tensioner makes it convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench. An onboard fleece air filter offers improved airflow, helps keep the motor cool, and is easy to clean. Advanced STIHL Lithium-Ion battery technology offers users an option to reduce environmental impact by eliminating exhaust emissions and lowering noise.
