iCAT ‒ SAFE FOR PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT
i
Cat’s SABS-approved range of water and foam mist fire
extinguishers include a patented T-Rotor Technology system
and are safe to use on people and the environment.
These extinguishers have a mist stream feature that is used
to protect trapped victims from flames, heat and smoke. When
mist is used, people and the environment do not encounter any
chemically active substances except a mist made of water or
inorganic salt solutions. The system can even be used to
extinguish electrical fires without the danger of electrocution.
The existing systems generate mist with drop sizes between
50 and 1 000 microns, however with drop sizes below 100
microns, the system uses less water.

ADVANCED MEASURING NEVER EASIER
A
full range of premium German measuring tools are
available locally from leading distributor Upat in
Johannesburg, ranging from levels to lasers and even
tape measures.
The extensive Stabila range includes entry-level units to
sophisticated digital devices. Stabila has become
synonymous with measuring tools, with the initial focus on
rules, spirit levels and measuring tapes.
Some of its more recent innovations include the
development of a protective system to protect rotation
lasers in case they are knocked over, a dust- and waterproof
electronic module for spirit levels. The new patented
revolutionary aluminium R-profile spirit-level design allows
for added sturdiness, stability and grip and provides the
option of being able to mark out with the spirit level itself.

HAMMERING EFFICIENCY
B
osch’s range of 18V rotary hammers (the GBH 18V-
26 professional and GBH 18V-26 F professional)
all have EC motors, which are highly efficient and
require very little maintenance.
The rotary hammers come equipped with a kickback
control feature that gives installers complete control,
especially when drilling on hard materials such as
reinforced concrete.
If the rotary hammer turns suddenly or
unpredictably on its drill axis, as can occur if the drill
becomes jammed in reinforced concrete, the integrated
sensor shuts off the motor in a fraction of a second.
This prevents unexpected kickback of the tool and
reduces the risk of injury.
