MUNCIE POWER
Salt Spreader
Muncie Power’s MESP 3016 Electronic Spreader Packages feature automated ground speed controls. With this automation and nine programmable settings of operations, salt is distributed proportionately to the truck’s ground speed, reducing waste and cutting cost. It is compatible with all spreaders. Its controller can operate in auto or manual mode. Durable, soft toggles and illuminated soft-touch buttons on the MESP 3016’s controller make adjusting flow rates simple. Spinner flows up to 8 gpm and auger flows up to 17 gpm are achievable with this spreader package. With its hydraulics mounted outside the cab, the MESP 3016 reduces noise, heat, fumes, and potential danger posed to the driver by high pressure fluids.

ROLL-RITE
Amp-Sensing Technology
Roll-Rite adds the optional RiteTouch amp-sensing technology to its TarpMaster Series systems with in-cab rocker switch tarp operations. TarpMaster systems are designed for single to tri-axle dumps in municipal and construction markets that use up to 24 feet of tarp. Amp-sensing takes the guesswork out of operating the tarp by automatically turning off the system at the precise time during winding. In standard tarp operations, over winding of a tarp trips a circuit breaker to protect the tarp motor. Protecting the breaker in turn prevents premature motor burn up from a failed circuit breaker.

GOOD ROADS
Air-Ride Snow Plow
Current solutions to reduce cutting edge wear for snow plows are hardened consumables, or “hydraulic blade saver” options, which add considerable expense and complexity to the hydraulics. Good Roads introduces a new way with the Air-Ride Plow option on its GN-200 push frames, which uses an air spring to maintain constant variable lift for the plow, much like an air-ride suspension for a semi-truck. It’s fully adjustable inside the cab and riding on a cushion of air for less than half the price of others.

TYMCO
Model 500X High Side Dump
The Tymco Model 500x High Side Dump sweeper features a variable dump height from 2-11 feet from the tip of the dump chute to the ground with the hopper fully tilted, enabling it to dump into various size containers. The large dump chute projects debris into the middle of the dump container without the need of a hopper side shift. The large 5.7-cubic yard hopper is constructed of non-magnetic stainless steel, as is the dump chute. The heavy-duty scissor lift assembly has a 10,000-lb lift capacity and all pivots on the lift are self-lubricating. Dual stabilizers automatically deploy before the dump cycle begins, assuring stability throughout the dumping procedure.

The optional hose end (sold separately) allows customers to drain the oil into a remote receptacle. The drain valve is available for all engines, fitting cars, pickups, vans, motor homes, HD trucks, buses, construction equipment, and lawnmowers. It’s even being installed at the factory level of many major vehicle/equipment manufacturers.

K&N
Reusable Cabin Air Filters
Like K&N’s air filters, the K&N Washable Cabin Air Filter is a reusable filter designed to replace a vehicle’s stock cabin air filter to clean and freshen incoming air. Cabin air filters reduce the presence of pollen, dust, and bacteria within the cab of a vehicle, keeping the cab smelling better and reducing unwanted particulates. The durable design and manufacturing of K&N’s cabin air filters allow customers to wash and reuse the filter multiple times without losing efficiency. For optimal filtration results, customers can use a combination of advanced synthetic filter media and K&N Refresher™ spray.
