The trailer allows for the setup of temporary block yards as and when needed. The entire system can be packed in 15 minutes and moved, allowing high mobility and on-demand production in the block-making and construction business. The system’s compact design and mobility makes it easy to store. The system is popular due to two main advantages – it reduces construction costs and can deliver housing faster. It is also extremely versatile and can be used for any buildings ranging from low-cost and rural developments to upmarket urban housing. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 913 1449. HIGH PERFORMING, DUST-FREE HAMMERS B osch’s latest additions to its range of rotary hammers generate 50% more than the current strongest 18V rotary hammer. The GBH 18V-26 Professional and GBH 18V-26 F Professional come complete with EC motors. These hammers are comparable with corded tools such as the GBH 2-26 Professional. The EC motor is maintenance-free. Users may choose a model with a fixed chuck or one with a changeable chuck. The hammers with an active integrated dust extractor now offer tradespeople a dust-free environment. The GDE 18V-16 Professional can simply be attached to the rotary hammer when required and it has its own motor. For easy and clean drilling, the dust extractor has an automatic power on/off function and starts automatically at the same time as the rotary hammer.
