New Mat Alerts You When Oil Leaks

The unique Mat from New Pig is composed of Oil-Only Mat and an outer spunbond layer that contains oil-indicating wax dots.  The dots dissolve in oil to release dye, and the Mat “flares” bright blue to provide a clear visual indication that mineral oil or hydraulic fluid is leaking.  Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, the PIG Oil-Only Mat with Color Flare Technology,  is UV-resistant, repels water and is impervious to rain and other wet conditions.
The PIG Oil-Only Absorbent Mat with Color Flare Technology aids in compliancewith 29 CFR 1910.22(a)(2), 40 CFR 112.7 and 40 CFR 122.26.  For more information on this or any of New Pig Corporation’s products, visit www.newpig.com or call 1-800-HOT-HOGS.

Easily Maneuverable Aluminum Series Gas-Powered Cold-Water Pressure Washers

Shark Pressure Washers is introducing their most user-friendly gas-powered cold-water series to date; the new Aluminum Series. Durable and easy to handle, these pressure washers are ideal for commercial cleaners and rental facilities.
The Aluminum Series feature an innovative frame shape, lightweight design, and ideal weight distribution that make them incredibly easy to push or pull, even through grass, gravel and mud. Say good-bye to the “ankle banging” experienced while pulling other machines. The adjustable handle provides ergonomic handling for operator comfort and space saving storage and transport. Simply fold the handle forward and these machines fit under most shelving and inside the trunk of a car. The hose hanger and wand holder conveniently keep all pieces together while transporting or storing the pressure washer.
Three models make up Shark’s new Aluminum Series, ranging from 2.5 GPM at 2,700 PSI to 3.8 GPM at 3,500 PSI. All models feature a weldless aluminum frame of 1-1/4” tubing, providing extreme durability and corrosion resistance in some of the harshest environments. The crankcase, direct-drive pump is mounted with a unique support bracket to reduce strain and extend the life of the engine shaft. In addition, the engine is set on four heavy-duty vibration isolators for smooth operation. Tested against competitive designs, these mounts proved to be longer lasting and more durable.
