Excavating Equipment

Hydra-Flex Ripsaw HD

The Ripsaw HD from Hydra-Flex is a nozzle built for the hydroexcavation industry to promote fast digging. Its cone-shaped flow pattern is ideal for potholing. The nozzle’s 0-degree stream rotates at an 18-degree cone of coverage, which increases impingement to dig faster and use less water. A slower stream rotation increases digging power, improves control, and reduces the nozzle’s wear and tear to lengthen its life. Built with heavy-duty coating, stainless steel housing and tungsten carbide wear surfaces, its long-lasting, premium components are effective against frost, shale and rocky soil. Its coating is nonconductive, which provides extra safety for both users and utilities. Designed to be repairable — not replaceable — repair kits extend the nozzle’s life and have you back up and running in just 10 minutes. 952-808-3640; www.hydraflexinc.com

Service Utility Trucks

FAE USA PT Tracked Carriers

PT Tracked Carriers from FAE USA feature climate-controlled cabins that provide operator safety. They help to fight forest fires in two major ways. For one, these dedicated mulchers are a key tool for fuel reduction. By destroying dry, dead foliage, they remove fuel from the forest floor, slowing the spread of wildfires. Two, by creating firebreaks, FAE mulchers leave large distances across which fires cannot travel, stopping fires from spreading at all. In addition, forestry mulching promotes ecosystem health. By mulching foliage rather than removing it from the site, these machines return nutrients to the soil, allowing new, healthy plant life to grow. 470-877-9647; www.fae-group.com
