Coxreels
Coxreels has introduced its Brawny upgrade, available for its hand-crank and motorized 1125 series hose reel. The new feature is an added option that strengthens the discs and the drum, preventing potential damage under increased pressure usage, Coxreels reports.
The Brawny option includes the same features and benefits of its 1125 series with the addition of structural reinforcement. The Brawny reels are designed with 10-gauge steel plates welded to each disc to keep them from bowing. The center drum is thickened and upgraded from the standard 16-gauge to 14-gauge steel to prevent deformation and eventual crushing of the drum that can be caused by hose pressure. The Brawny option is ideal for anywhere high-pressure hoses are used, Coxreels said.

Meyer Industries
Meyer Industries recently introduced the Rodenator Pest Elimination System, a burrowing rodent control system. The system delivers an underground shockwave to dispatch burrowing rodents and collapse their tunnel systems. The system targets burrowing pests without rodenticides or trapping, and is not dependent on external conditions.
A wand is used to shoot a mixture of oxygen and propane gas into a rodent hole for 60 to 90 seconds. Then another button on the wand is pressed, igniting a spark into the mixture, creating a precision underground shockwave. The animals are extinguished and the tunnel system is collapsed, the company explained.
