Cast Multi Pick-Up Coupler for Wheel Loaders

Paladin Attachments
Dexter, Mich.

Paladin Attachments introduces the new JRB Nexus Cast Multi Pick-Up Coupler for wheel loaders. The company has created a product design engineered to increase productivity and visibility for wheel loaders using multiple attachments. While lighter than an equivalent fabricated coupler, the carbon steel casting design gives it 30 percent more strength and up to 11 percent more flex prior to yielding than a fabricated coupler. The coupler offset also has been reduced to provide up to a 26 percent improvement in breakout force impact.

Instant Mortar Match

Instant Mortar Match will change the appearance of mortar with the tip of a brush.

Instant Mortar Match allows you to visually correct or mask sloppy mortar stains or poor workmanship on masonry repairs. It also allows you to match new mortar color to a pre-existing mortar, and restore or change the shade of your existing mortar. You can view a short video at www.instantmortarmatch.com.
