Stronger tools. Improved performance. Better choice.
Better tools, better job. Nowhere is this more evident, and more necessary, than in crushing asphalt aggregate, concrete, or both, and laying down new road beds. Tools that wear out before their time mean idle road milling machines, missed project schedules, and blown budgets. The new Road King series of redesigned road milling tools from Kennametal is that better tool that means better performance.

Effective Accident Prevention - The Round Grab RG-75/125-SAFELOCK Maintains Full Gripping Force regardless of Improper Operation
Standard commercial Round Grabs on constructions sites may fail to hold on to pipes so that pipes may slip out of the grip in critical situations. This may happen in cases of operator error, when pipes inadvertently hit the edge of the trench or the top of a support traverse for example. In such cases, the Round Grab load lightens, the rope slackens, and the pipe may slip out. On a regular construction site, it may not always be possible to keep workers at a safe distance during pipe installation. Very hazardous situations may develop when people work in the trench underneath a slipping pipe.
