To Boldly Go…
The Vulcan Barrier is a portable steel longitudinal barrier that meets NCHRP 350 TL-3 test requirements as a longitudinal redirecting barrier, according to its manufacturer Energy Absorption Systems. It is available in effective lengths of 4 meters, 8 meters and 12 meters. Vulcan Barrier uses a vertical steel pivot pin to interlink each module, allowing the system to follow curves of up to six degrees per 4-meter segment. The Vulcan Barrier can be deployed as a free standing system and is designed to be used with a variety of end terminal options, such as the Triton CET System or QuadGuard® CZ System. The lightweight and stackable design allows up to 160 meters to be transported on one truck, offering a huge transport savings when compared to traditional concrete barriers.

The Need For Speed
Introducing the Concrete Dissolver by Speedy Clean, a product that can easily clean concrete and mortar from expensive construction equipment. According to Speedy-Clean, “Concrete Dissolver works by attacking and dissolving the ‘glue,’ or Portland cement, in concrete. It deconstructs the bond between the Portland cement and the other ingredients such as sand or gravel. It turns the material into a soft mush, which does not require hazardous waste disposal. The amount of time required for this process is strictly proportional to the thickness of the concrete being dissolved.”
The product comes in 22-ounce spray bottles (shown here), 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes.

Guard Assist
InventHelp describes Guard Assist as “a power saw accessory that helps the operator move the blade guard without using a finger or other object.” InventHelp says, “The Guard Assist comes with a plastic roller that slides along a steel rod and fits into where the original plastic guard handle was placed. Once the wood is cut, the guard returns to its original position on its own, immediately covering the blade to prevent injury.”
To order the Guard Assist, visit www.inventhelpstore.com or call 800-851-6030.
