64 HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • FEBRUARY 2018 EQUIPMENT GUIDE to 2018 Briggs & Stratton’s patented Integrated Cyclonic System’s air handling helps the Commercial Series operate in high-debris applications. A rotating debris-chopping screen cuts debris into smaller pieces while a fan forces the debris particles down and away from the engine. A series of baffles and an ejector chute prevent dirt and large debris from reaching the air cleaner housing, which ejects dust and fine debris through a duckbill- shaped valve. The engine’s large cyclonic air cleaner filter lasts for 250 hours of operation and requires no tools to replace. An optional high-flow static cover further improves airflow in high-debris applications. Features for structural integrity include a commercial-grade liquid sump gasket; the same gasket engineered for the Vanguard 810 V-Twin; as well as a third dowel pin to ensure a rigid, lasting seal at the sump joint. Muffler options are also available for repowers.

Without water, the concrete contractor couldn’t get on with the job of cutting concrete and this meant the company wasted a lot of time trying to find a solution. Frustrated with not being able to get a constant pressure water supply for its concrete cutting services John Ford Concreting decided it needed to find a portable constant pressure water supply unit that provided water where and when they needed it. While researching options they came across the Makinex Hose2Go, a portable water supply unit that provides up to 30 minutes of constant pressure water supply for concrete cutting and coring tools. John Ford said: “In addition to ensuring my team is never without water for their tools, the Hose2Go has reduced sludge entering the environment due to the user’s ability to control the water pressure from the Hose2Go. “The Hose2Go is great for its ability to mitigate silica dust which ensures I have another way of looking after the wellbeing of my team.” Visit: www.makinex.com.au/products/ hose-2-go
