Stainless-steel sinks
The Euro-style edging on the sinks makes it easier to keep the surrounding work and floor areas clean, while a new bowl design provides more space and maneuverability for washing. The sinks feature stainless-steel construction, including the bowls, drain boards and backsplash components. The units also come with one-, two-, three- or four-bowl compartments. The sink bowls feature a deep-drawn, one-piece construction, along with a swirl-away drainage design for complete evacuation of water. The sinks include front-to-back leg braces for added rigidity and sturdiness. The leg gussets are welded to a die-cut reinforcing plate to optimize sturdiness. Most models come with a 10-inch backsplash element featuring a 1-inch upturn and tile edge. Other models feature a backsplash that is 2 inches higher, allowing for a higher faucet clearance, as well as deeper sink bowls.

KwiKool Portable Cooling Systems
Portable air conditioner
The Strategic Air Center Model 2411 is designed for use in hospitals, server rooms, and all types of facilities using backup-generator, 115-volt circuitry. The unit combines the convenience of 115-volt power with a high-capacity unit that takes up minimal space. The cooler is 20 inches wide, 42 inches long and 42.5 inches high. Facilities can use the 2-ton unit for primary, supplemental or emergency cooling. The unit is ETL and CETL listed to UL and CSA standards.

Snow Dragon Snowmelters
Snow melter
The SND-RM90 is specifically designed for parking ramps. A 1-ton pickup truck can tow the unit, and the melter has been designed for demanding access up a parking ramp. The unit uses heat-exchanger-tube assemblies for direct heat transfer to water. This feature quickly melts snow and ice and discharges water between 65-70 degrees, without producing steam plumes laden with carbon monoxide. The unit saves organizations money hauling the snow, and it is a viable alternative to throwing snow and ice over the side of the parking ramp, which can cause injury and damage landscapes.

Sensaphone
Remote-monitoring system
The SCADA 3000 connects to a personal-computer host and offers a high level of monitoring, data logging, and alarm notification. It comes packaged with Windows®-compatible software to track 16 universal inputs and eight relay outputs.

The system allows managers to access live status, alarm history and other advanced information from any computer within a specified computer network. The unit monitors environmental conditions and alerts managers of changes in temperature, power failures and surges, pressure, timers, alarms, excess humidity, water on the floor, and intrusion. The system sends managers notifications via phone, fax, text message, numeric page or e-mail. With its Ethernet capacity, operators can access alarm activity, reports and additional data more easily.

Electric Eel Manufacturing Co.
Drain cleaner
The Model CT features variable-speed motor control that gives the operator improved cable control and cleaning power of 75-350 revolutions per minute at constant torque. The units are designed to clean 3/4- to 21/2-inch diameter drain lines up to 50 feet long. The drain cleaner features a
1/5-horsepower, 90-volt, direct-current motor.

The cable guide hose helps eliminate cable whipping and helps keep work areas cleaner. A heavy-duty housing protects motor and internal wiring. The machine can use 1/4-, 5/16-, or 3/8-inch cable. The steel tubular frame allows for vertical or horizontal operation.

Rite-Hite Corp.
Industrial fan
The Revolution™ fan is a high-volume, low-speed unit that provides more consistent air circulation and ventilation with better energy efficiency than traditional high-speed ceiling or floor fans. The fan features four contoured aluminum blades and a design that moves air more consistently across the whole blade, creating an airflow of more than 360,000 cubic feet per minute. The fan is available in 8, 12-, 16-, 20-, and 24-foot diameters. The blade-hub connection is rotationally balanced and uses a vibration-absorbing material that reduces stress by 50-75 percent to maximize fan life. The unit uses steel universal mounting brackets for easier installation. The mounting system includes a beam clamp, motor housing, stabilization cables and a three-way motor-to-hub safety connection.

Coleman Cable Inc.
Surge protector
When devices, such as computers, are plugged into the Eco-Logical™ Smart Strip® and go into sleep mode, the protector automatically cuts power to monitors, printers and speakers. All electronics draw power even when they are in sleep mode or turned off. A printer can use up to 30 watts in sleep mode, which can add up to about $27 a year in energy costs. Other computer components can draw more than 50 watts while standing idle. The energy being consumed by all of these idle electronics can be significant. The surge protector is available in either seven- or 10-outlet models and comes with two or three outlets for use with equipment that should not be turned off, such as fax machines, cordless phones or cable and satellite receivers.

Wright Manufacturing Inc.
Stand-on mower
The Stander® ZK has deck widths of 52 and 61 inches and engines up to 31 horsepower. The mower features a low center of gravity for hillside stability, shorter overall length for added maneuverability, and the operator can just step off the spring-suspended, stand-on platform in case of emergency or to pick up debris. The unit also is also equipped with Rapid Height Adjustment, which allows the operator to quickly raise or lower the cutting height without getting off the mower. The mower features deeper decks, larger wheels and improved fuel capacity compared to other Stander models.

Scag Power Equipment
Walk-behind mower
The Pro-V features a control system that delivers improved levels of productivity and operator comfort. Operator hand fatigue is virtually eliminated, as no squeezing is required to maneuver the mower. The mower is available with a 36-, 48-, or 52-inch cutting deck and a 16-23 horsepower engine. The unit features a floating deck, a more convenient hand-lever deck lift, and an easier-to-use cutting-height adjustment.

Husqvarna
Zero-turn mowers
The Mega Series features tubular frames to accommodate fabricated decks up to 72 inches wide. The wider stance, combined with 13-inch tires in the front and 23-inch tires in the rear, create improved stability and a more comfortable ride. The series is comprised of three models — two with 25-horsepower (hp) engines and one with 27 hp. Cutting deck sizes range from 52-72 inches and fabricated decks are 10- and 11-gauge steel with 11-gauge spindle support. The steering levers tilt at a 7-degree angle to reduce wrist fatigue.
