New Multiquip Products Expand Opportunities for Rental Businesses

 

Multiquip introduced new compaction equipment, the GB4000 balloon light and a new green concrete saw at the 2014 Rental Show in Orlando. DCA generators and construction equipment were displayed as well.

The MQ Mikasa reversible plate line receives an updated look with the introduction of the MVH308, MVH408 and MVH508 series compactors. These heavy-duty compactors feature new styling; a fold-out roll cage that allows service access while providing better protection in the plate while maintaining the MQ Mikasa reputation for reliable performance.  These new models are all equipped with a combination hour meter/ tachometer to allow technicians to track service intervals.

The top selling MVC88 series forward plate compactors have a new casting that integrates the eccentric housing and baseplate producing a lower center of gravity and resulting in a faster travel speed. An optional, newly designed, wheel kit stays on the plate while not in use and helps transport the plate on smooth surfaces. An hour meter/tachometer is included on this model for the first time.

The MQ Mikasa MRH601DS is a new walk-behind tandem roller powered by a 6.2 horsepower Kubota diesel engine designed to meet contractor expectations for dependability and ease of use.   With a 25.6" drum width and 2,428 pounds of centrifugal force, this roller design is compact and powerful enough to handle the toughest asphalt and soil applications.  Operators and service technicians will appreciate additional features such as the hour meter for measuring runtime, the parking brake for placement stability and a horn and light switch for job-site safety.

The new GB4000 offers 360° glare-free illumination featuring four 1000W Metal Halide lamps.

Contractors and rental companies can choose to attach this accessory to any Multiquip light tower. An internal fan inflates the rugged balloon enclosure in less than 60 seconds, lights an area of up to 300’ and results in 4,000 watts of glare-free lighting for highway construction, security areas or special events. 

This totally re-engineered Multiquip green concrete saw features a precise raise/lower system with positive depth stop control and an up-cut design. The blade guard assembly with dust control design along with its wrap-around roll cage protection make concrete cutting simple, safe and clean. The operator-friendly, anti-vibration handle reduces user fatigue, and is height adjustable.
