Discover the DITEQ Difference!

Difference #1: Diamond blades with ARIX technology typically last twice as long and cut 30% faster than the industry's best-selling diamond blades. Look closely and you can actually see how each diamond is strategically arranged to give it an uncompromised support tail that ensures it will be held in place to deliver maximum life. There's no other blade like it, and it's only available through DITEQ. Try one and see for yourself.

Difference #2: Check out our NEW low price on our high quality masonry and flat saws. It's worth a call - guaranteed!

Difference #3: If you want one diamond blade to DO-IT-ALL, you have to try our Max-Wave. The secret is in the innovative segment design.

"What we have is an automated system that doesn't have to stop and reset every couple feet," says Jerry Castle, company president. "The load can be set on the scaffolding unbalanced, and the sensors will keep the platform level."

Castle says users can safely and efficiently raise and lower the scaffolding continuously. The push-button operation saves masons time and money by quickly putting the work platform at the height at which it's needed, while built-in ARIX safety features protect workers. "A redundant manual backup, a spring-loaded safety dog, and a hydraulic internal brake give the operator confidence that the platform is safe and level," Castle says.

Difference #4: Control dust with our NEW TEQ-Vac Dust Containment System. It works with virtually any type of equipment and reduces dust 99%!

Difference #5: NOISE KILLER diamond blades significantly reduce cutting noise without breaking the bank.

Discover all these, and more true innovations in our new catalog. Call right now to get yours! 866-688-1032 www.DITEQ.com

Alimak Hek has developed new platforms, called the HEK Modular System, that encompass both the mast climbing work platform and the transport platforms, Manning says. "Using three basic components, a large number of mast climbing work platforms and transport platforms, and combinations of the two, can be assembled."

In 2007, Hydro Mobile introduced a module system with a hoist and mast climber that's compatible with its F-Series scaffolding. In March, the company plans to launch a new product for the light- and medium-duty market.

Fraco also launched a new mast climber last year. "The ACT-4 work platform combines safety, quickness and flexibility," Laine says. IMAS
