Goscor Hi-Reach is extending the Genie
boom lift family with the introduction of
the Genie SX-150, a compact workhorse
that features excellent stability and a
working height of 48 m.
“This remarkable new machine which
follows on from its big brother, the 57 m
SX-180, is a welcome addition to the
family as it conveniently addresses a
working height gap between the current
40 m and 57 m telescopic boom offer-
ing,” says Goscor Hi-Reach managing
director, George Landsberg.
Fifteen years of experience in large
boom development is built into the ‘DNA’
of the Genie SX-150. Proven quality and
performance combined with practical, in-
novative design features deliver reliability,
efficiency and ease of operation and ser-
vice across the Genie equipment range.
Highlighting the machine’s out-
standing stability, Landsberg says the
Chicago Pneumatic has launched a
new series of CP7736 ½̋ metal impact
wrenches, to deliver more durability,
power and user comfort for tyre chang-
ing or general mechanical applications.
The compact CP7736 offers 900 Nm
of torque, which is 20% more than its
predecessor, and has the best price per-
formance ratio of its class on the market.
As such, vehicle service professionals
can operate more efficiently and increase
their productivity.
There are two tools available in the
range – the CP7736 ½̋ impact wrench
and the CP7736-2, which includes a
2̋ long anvil attachment. The impact
wrench is highly durable, with a new
twin hammer mechanism providing a
working torque of 51-568 69-770 Nm
and a maximum torque of 670 900 Nm.
It features three power settings in forward
and full power in reverse, which provides
Homogenous mixing with
handheld power mixers
The use of spades or similar
tools to perform mixing
operations often results
in a non-homogenous mix of
questionable quality. Mayday Equip-
ment identified the need to address
this issue, especially when screeds
and epoxies are involved, and has
introduced a range of handheld power
mixers to the market.
Recognising that no two mixing
jobs are identical, the Collomix range of
handheld power mixers is available in a
number of variants. Mayday Equipment
will be marketing the Xo 1, Xo 6 and
Xo 55 Duo models, with a variety
of stirrer accessories for various ap-
plications. The models have power
ratings of 1 010 W, 1 600 W and
1 450 W, respectively, with mixing
volumes of 40, 90 and 90 ℓ.
All models have been designed for ease of
operation. An increase in the height of each
handheld power mixer means that operators can
stand upright when mixing is being performed.
This, together with the ergonomically shaped
shell-type handle, eliminates back pain and
results in decreased fatigue levels.
The range is available in South Africa from
Lambson Hire.
Instrotech, distributor and manufacturer
of a range of process control instrumen-
tation and specialised systems, has
announced the launch of UK-based
Monitran’s MTN/2285STC – a combined
velocity and temperature sensor with
four 20 mA range outputs for industrial
monitoring applications. With a dual-
output, this sensor is ideal for monitoring
vibration and temperature levels in the
same location, for the protection of mo-
tors, fans, pumps, compressors and other
assemblies with rotating parts.
Both of the sensor’s outputs are in the
industry-standard range of 4.0-20 mA
and are suitable for direct connection to
a programmable logic controller (PLC),
distributed control system (DCS) or other
industrial controller.
Andy Anthony, managing director of
Monitran, comments: “Changes in vibra-
tion or temperature levels tend to provide
the earliest indication that a component
of plant equipment is in need of main-
New Genie offers stability at 48 m working heights
SX‑150 is built on Genie’s
pioneering and proven
XChassis™ design. “Add
to this a horizontal outreach
of up to 24.38 m, as well as
an industry-leading capacity
through its full working envelope,
and the result is a boom lift that
delivers unequalled versatility and
productivity. For our customers and
end-user these features importantly
signify profitability and a rapid return
on investment.”
“Low operational costs, fast set up,
ease-of-use and service are inherent
to the SX-150 which ticks all the pro-
ductivity and profitability boxes; factors
that are crucial for sustainable
operation and even more
so in a tough econom-
ic climate,” concludes
Landsberg.
