■ LevelRight Outrigger Pad for Crane Setup

DICA has expanded its LevelRight Outrigger Pad product line, now offering four sizes—12-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch, and 35-inch—to accommodate a wider range of crane operations. Originally introduced in 2024, LevelRight has quickly become an essential tool for achieving a safe and level setup on uneven terrain.

Designed to adjust angles up to 10 degrees in multiple planes, the pads support rated capacities from 350,000 to 450,000 lbs., reducing the risk of tipping and increasing operational efficiency. “An out-of-level setup can compromise safety and accelerate equipment wear. The expanded LevelRight lineup provides a fast, reliable solution without the need for digging, wedging, or shoveling,” said Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA.

■ Genie Introduces High-Capacity Pick-and-Carry Telehandlers

Genie has expanded its telehandler lineup with the GTH-1244 and GTH-1044, engineered for high-capacity, lower-reach pick-and-carry applications. Designed to help rental companies differentiate their fleets and maximize return on investment, these models offer best-in-class load charts, eliminating the need for stabilizers while maintaining exceptional stability and visibility. Ideal for steel erection, industrial maintenance, energy, and construction, these telehandlers efficiently handle heavy loads with shorter cycle times. The 74 hp DEF-free engine eliminates service costs related to emissions components, while limited-slip differentials improve traction on rough terrain.

■ JLG Unveils Electric Boom Lift

JLG Industries has announced the new 60-ft EC600AJ articulating boom lift, expanding JLG’s electric construction portfolio. The EC600AJ offers 550-lbs. unrestricted and 750-lbs. restricted platform capacities with a 27’1” up-and-over height, 130-degree jib articulation, and 400-degree non-continuous swing for precise positioning. Powered by two 10.7kWh lithium-ion batteries with 4WD AC drive motors, it provides 40 percent gradeability with a 5-degree tilt cut-out, providing the power to tackle challenging terrain while complying with industry safety standards.

■ Airgas Launches Women’s PPE for Welders

Airgas, a leading supplier of industrial gases and safety products, has introduced RADNOR, a line of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed specifically for women who weld. The collection includes gloves and welding jackets tailored for women, with a focus on fit, function, and style.

Airgas collaborated with leading manufacturers to source materials and designs that prioritize both safety and comfort, addressing the unique needs of women in the welding industry.

■ Canam Launches MeasureMate Plugin for SDS2

Canam has released MeasureMate, a new modeling extension for SDS2, now available in the SDS2 online store. Designed to streamline measurement and modeling management, this plugin enhances efficiency and productivity by allowing users to preview models before applying them, reducing errors and saving time. It provides multiple functions for accelerated modeling, including division, measurement, linear and polar network creation, and angle bisector calculations. Compatible with SDS2 v2017 and newer, the plugin integrates seamlessly through the search function and dedicated menu buttons.

■ Lincoln Electric Debuts Ranger Air 330MPX Engine Drive

The new Ranger Air 330MPX from Lincoln Electric is a versatile, high-performance engine drive designed for welding professionals who need efficiency and reliability in the field. Combining five essential functions—air compressor, generator, battery jump assist, battery charge, and multi-process welder— this unit maximizes productivity while reducing costs. Featuring variable engine speed and auto stop/start technology, the 330MPX minimizes fuel consumption, while maintenance alerts prevent downtime. A Vanair® rotary screw air compressor delivers 30 percent more air power than competitors, and a 10KW AC generator supports sensitive electronics and 12V/24V battery jump-starting.

■ Cocoon Netting Contains Jobsite Debris

EPS Systems’ cocoon netting is a patented vertical netting system designed to contain debris during steel erection, precast, and rehabilitation projects. Engineered to improve jobsite safety, the system prevents falling objects, protecting both workers and pedestrians while meeting OSHA safety standards. EPS netting integrates with the existing steel structure, and outriggers are pre-attached in the laydown yard, allowing for fast, efficient installation with minimal impact on crane operations. The nets can be lowered or removed as needed, ensuring seamless workflow and site access. Each system is customized to fit project-specific needs, with optional attachments for fire protection, spark containment, and concrete slurry control.
