The Power Curber 5700-C is the No. 1selling curb and gutter machine in theworld. Introduced in 2007, the 5700-C isthe latest in the 5700 series which beganin 1985.
Originally designed for curb and gut-ter work, the 5700-C now performs inmany applications including sidewalk,barrier wall, pathway paving up to 3.5meters wide, and agricultural founda-tions. In spite of the variety of applica-tions, the basic machine remains thesame while only a mold or form changesfrom job to job.
Although traditionally viewed as acurb and gutter machine, recent infra-structure projects worldwide have createdopportunities for the 5700-C to pourmore barrier wall than ever. At 12-tons,the 5700-C now pours step barrier, vari-able barrier, U-shaped ditches, and expe-rienced contractors can now pour barrierwall up to 1.5 meters high.
Throughout its development the 5700series has added many new features andimprovements. In 1994, the auger con-veyor was added to the machine, replacingthe high maintenance belt conveyor sys-

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.,—Thedevastation from Superstorm Sandy hashad a significant impact on much of theEast Coast, leaving thousands of individ-uals with substantial damage to home andproperty. After hearing of the tremendouslosses faced by many affected communi-ties, Bosch has committed $340,000 infunding and in-kind donations to help the
victims of this natural disaster.“The devastation made us all realize
just how fortunate we are that everyoneon our team was reported safe,” saidMike Mansuetti, president, Robert BoschLLC. “Guided by our slogan ‘Inventedfor Life,’ we are compelled to use our re-sources to let those impacted by the dis-aster know that we care.”
Measures of support include:The Bosch Community Fund, in conjunc-tion with Robert Bosch Tool Corporation,is contributing $100,000 in short-term re-lief to Habitat for Humanity earmarkedto aid storm victims, as well as powertools worth $100,000 in value to supportrecovery efforts.

your background.
A: I have been in the decorative concreteindustry since 1989. This is the 24th yearI have been at World of Concrete whichfor the first time is more than half my life.I have been always been involved withgreat companies in the industry and haveoverseen the formulation, marketing andfield testing of some amazing new prod-uct lines.
Q: You are with iCOAT Products now,what makes them stand out?
A: iCOAT represented a unique oppor-tunity for me. I had the chance to com-pletely rethink not only a product line
but a business model. I always like totell people that if they had a brand new,never used, 1999 model car and were todrive it immediately after driving a2013 model that the differences in tech-nology would be astounding. iCOATinvests heavily in R&D and drives themarket through the innovations we arecontinually making.
Q: That’s interesting; tell us moreabout that and what new technologiesare on the horizon?
A: There have been huge advances inpolymer technologies over the last fewyears; we have worked that and manyother performance enhancing additivesinto our product line. We have an ionicbonding agent that multiplies coat to coatadhesion for sealers as well as concrete
based products. I think that the next waveof advancements to our industry will befrom some of the nanotechnology mate-rials becoming available. We are alreadyincorporating nano-pigments into ourMetal Illusion line but I see a day whenscratches in coatings will literally be ableto ‘heal’ themselves.
Q: You mentioned revising not onlyproducts but also your business plan;please explain.
A: Typically decorative concrete prod-ucts are manufactured by large compa-nies and sold through concrete supplystores with salespeople that have little orno experience with the product lines.Decorative concrete is such an individualexpression that it requires proper trainingand tech support to create successful

Q: Does iCOAT have distributorseverywhere?
A: I would love to say we do, but thereare still many gaps we need to fill in thiscountry and abroad.

The vast Laurie River is renownedfor its ability to produce big, big fish inthe northern pike, walleye and lake troutcategories.
It’s standard practice to catch pikemore than 30 inches. If luck is with you,
a few brutes measuring 40 inches willoffer unsurpassed bragging rights (andpossibly a sore shoulder the next day).And if the stars align, you may join anelite club of anglers who have boatedpike in the 50-inch range. Laurie Riveralso boasts a plentiful walleye populationthat will provide hours of non-stop ac-tion, not to mention a most deliciouslunch. And if you have a little bit of en-ergy left, you’ll need every ounce tobring an elusive, stubborn and very biglake trout into the boat.
Laurie River Lodge is just one ofManitoba’s hundreds of premium fishinglodges that offer a unique brand of vaca-tion. Every corner of the province has an-
gling opportunities. Their ro-bust fishery owes its success toa province-wide effort that in-cludes barbless hooks to ensurethe health of a fish that is re-leased. Most Manitoba lodgeshave adopted a catch-and-re-lease program, meaning everybig fish goes back into the laketo fight another day. The only exceptionis fish that are kept for daily shore-lunches.

The TruLink pin simply replaces theOEM pin ensuring that no additionalheight is added to the installation equip-ment. This feature is important in lowclearance applications.
The systems patent pending tech-nology contained within the pin omitsdownward (perpendicular) force. Iso-lating only the necessary torque valuesimproves accuracy and durability. Allgauges and electronics are completely
sealed for use in all installation envi-ronments.
The TruLink user interface is an 8inch touch screen display that can be eas-ily mounted within the operating cab ofmost prime movers. The rugged displayis housed in an IP67 rated weather andshock proof casing. The high visibilitytouch screen allows the operator to easilyinterface with the system during installa-tion. The intuitive layout of the displayindicates all data in real time.
All installation data is recorded in-dependently for each pier and collec-
tively for all helical piers on a given proj-ect. All data is stored within the display

mixer truck business by modernizing itsFt. Wayne, Ind., mixer truck productionfacility and implementing lean manufac-turing principles. At the same time, thetruck design was closely scrutinized by en-gineers for nearly eight months, customerfocus groups were conducted and produc-tion package offerings were simplified.
“Our old truck design required 13different chassis configurations to meetall state requirements, and the 2013 truckrequires only six,” says Jim Aslin, districtmanager for Terex Roadbuilding. “Addi-tionally, we’ve streamlined drum offer-ings, so three different drums meetcustomer demand.”
Dozens of UpdatesVisitors to Terex Booth #C6227 will
see two new mixer trucks with upwardto 100 design changes. More than 20modifications take place in the cabalone. Designers gained three inches ofthe room under the hood, resulting inan additional eight inches of floorspace inside the cab. New hanging footpedals, more durable door latches,brighter LED lights and rear vents thathelp with door closing also highlightimprovements to the cab.
Designers have made it much easierto get into and out of the cab with a newhanging step that offers three-point ac-cess. Additionally, a revised bolt-on lad-der offers direct access to the chutecleanout platform.
A greater angle of wheel cut substan-tially improves turning radius and en-hances the ease of servicing for thesteering system. “This is a gamechanger,” says Aslin. “The new steering
system takes full advantage of articula-tion to reduce curb-to-curb turning radiusby 20 percent.”
The FD5000 and F DB6000 alsofeature the latest design advancementsfor truck reliability. An entirely new airsystem increases reservoir capacity andincorporates a new lift axle control mod-ule valve that reduces the number ofLACM valves by 75 percent. New bolt-on roller trunnions offer easier accessand simplified position adjustment. Ad-ditionally, a new swing chute gearboxconfiguration increases torque andmakes servicing easier.
Paving Bridges and FlatworkAlso featured in the Terex booth, TerexBid-Well will show the 4800 automaticroller paver and 2418 workbridge. Leg-endary for flexibility in tackling the mostcomplex bridge designs, the 4800 also

The 4800’s 48-inch deep truss frameoffers variable paving widths from 12- to116-feet. Standard 18-foot truss end seg-ments offer up to 15-feet leg travel to eachside of the machine for on-the-fly variablewidth paving, so contractors can varypaving with up to 30-feet without rebuild-ing the truss frame. “For contractors usinga vibratory screed to pave one, 12-footwide slab at a time, the 4800 can pavetwice as much concrete and half the timewith half the labor force,” says LarryEben, district manager for Terex Road-building.

concrete all over the machine, creating aclean-up nightmare at the day’s end. Withit’s enclosed cover, the auger systemkeeps the machine cleaner, without con-crete splatter building up on hydrauliclines and pumps.
The 5700-C’s hydraulically con-trolled mold offset allows tremendousflexibility for the machine operator on thejobsite. Hydraulic mold sideshift andvertical adjustment allows the operator to
pour below grade, avoid concrete drains,and to lift off steel at the end of a run.
For contractors involved in parkinglot work, the 5700-C turns a radius of lessthan one meter. This tight radius steeringallows contractors to pour parking lot is-lands, eliminating expensive handwork.
Additional recent enhancements in-clude a right-hand pour option in additionto the traditional left hand set up. Con-tractors faced with projects that forcethem to pour with the flow of traffic lovethe ability to go from left to right handpouring. Converting the machine from
left to right side pour, is simple, and onlytakes a few hours.
Power Curbers’ Smart Amp controlsgive the machine the sophistication ofdigitally networked systems with the easeand simplicity of analog controls. Inex-perienced operators can easily be trainedon this system.
Standard equipment on the PowerCurber 5700-C includes a 130 HP Cum-mins engine, three Berco crawlers, twoWyco vibrators, four sensors and one curband gutter mold built to specifications.

achieves all of these goals. The Outrigger Davit was developed
for those cases in which rigging isneeded to clear a tall parapet wall orother obstacle. Perhaps there is a featureraised above the rooftop surface, suchas a penthouse wall face, decorativefaçade, or a sign that needs to be ac-cessed. The conventional approach inthese situations is to use either conven-tional scaffolding or tall stands to ele-vate the rooftop outrigger beams.
Some of the challenges associatedwith this are the amount of additional
equipment that is needed to be lugged upto the rooftop (materials & labor), as wellas the difficulty in dealing with rear beamcounterweights for an outrigger beamthat is 5, 6, 7 or more feet off of therooftop surface.
With a pivoting mast, the OutriggerDavit can be set up and rigged fromrooftop level. Once in position, the mastand boom are tilted up and locked intoplace. The suspension wire rope can thenbe lowered over the edge, completing theinstallation while maintaining conven-tional counterweight and tie-back re-quirements.
The Outrigger Davit can clear an 8foot parapet and provide up to 4 feet of
reach. It is built as an add-on that workswith WINSAFE modular outriggerbeam components that you may alreadyhave. Counterweights remain at a moremanageable rooftop level, as theywould with a conventional basic outrig-ger beam. It’s a simple installation, witha minimal amount of equipment thatcan save an installer a great deal ofextra time and effort.

innovation for both brands. Razor-Back Professional and Jack-
son Professional tools are best known fortheir industry leading long handled tooland wheelbarrow categories, respec-tively. Each will look to grow and en-hance their business by way ofintegrating direct interface with profes-sionals into their product developmentprocess while leveraging each other’sstrengths to continue to introduce prod-ucts that demonstrate obvious innovation.In doing so, every product will be putthrough rigorous jobsite end-user testing– about 10 times as much as was previ-ously conducted.
To oversee and provide insights ofthe new product development process forboth brands, parent company, the GriffonCorporation recently added Les Irelandas President and Eric Bernstein as VicePresident of Marketing and Product De-velopment. Ireland and Bernstein bring acombined 42 years of experience in guid-ing new product development, most re-cently for DEWALT Power Tools &Accessories.
“We know there are increased de-mands on our professional customers,especially when it comes to productiv-ity,” said Ireland. “New products willfocus on increasing productivity, dura-bility, and comfort for the professionalsthat rely on them every day in the tough-est of job site environments. We are
looking to put tools in the hands of ourcustomers that are intuitively more pro-ductive and easy to use.”
The quality control process thatgoes in to both brands will remain un-changed, with manufacturing of bothproduct lines continuing in the UnitedStates as it has for more than 200 years.The brands’ manufacturing operationsare vertically integrated, leading to bet-ter efficiencies and higher quality—from the wood mills that shape thewooden handles to the tempering ofsteel. Because of this, domestic manu-facturing operations for these brandsemploy more U.S. workers than allcompetitors combined. The brands alsohave national distribution centers thatinclude Carlisle, Penn. and Reno, Nev.;

Overall, the brands’ dedication tospending more time on jobsites testingproduct and interacting with professionalswill continue to keep Razor-Back andJackson the tools of choice for the profes-sional. The on-the-job experience will notonly hone product features but will alsohelp to build tools based on changing en-vironmental needs.
