Wright Tool Catalog Strives at Perfecting Performance
The new 2009 Wright Tool catalog themed “perfecting performance” is now available.
Featuring a new updated look, the 406-page catalog provides descriptions, specifications and part numbers for all the Wright Tool product lines.
The catalog introduces new innovative tools that expand the existing line of heavy-duty hand tools, stressing how Wright Tool has been perfecting performance in its product offerings.
Information on the new Wright Tool University is featured in the catalog, as well as industries served by Wright Tool. The new Perfecting Performance Quality Process, a system for identifying customer needs and translating them into quality products and services that exceed the customer’s expectations, is also introduced and explained.
“When designing this catalog we kept our customers in mind,” said Ty Smith, director of business development at Wright Tool. “We strived to make the catalog as user friendly as possible. For example, safety information for each tool is located at the beginning of each section and at the bottom of the page the tool is featured on. This is just one of the many ways we are perfecting performance.”

Curtis Industries Introduces New
Sno-Pro Plow Systems for UTVs and SxSs
 Curtis Industries has introduced a rugged line of 72 inch Sno-Pro plow systems designed for daily use on UTVs and Side-by-Sides. The Straight Plow is built of heavy gauge steel, weighs only 180 pounds with mount, and has a height of 19 inches. The Polymer Tapered (Highway Style) Plow is made of a high-density, impact-resistant polymer with extensive bracing to provide superior strength and durability. With a top of taper height of 28 inches and bottom of taper height of 18 inches, the Polymer Tapered Plow and mount weigh only 190 pounds and are balanced for stability while in the up position.
Curtis engineers have developed an innovative Quick Attach system for both plows that allow for fast and easy attachment and detachment. These plow systems are easy to install and plow mounts do not interfere with the UTV’s ground clearance. In fact, the plows can be raised over 12 inches. A winch lift (not included) is used to raise and lower the plows. The winch-mounted adjustable limit switch controls over-driving the winch while plowing. This feature stops the winch motor from stalling for longer winch life. Both blades have a replaceable steel cutting edge and come with Blade Markers and all necessary mounting hardware. Available now for the Yamaha Rhino, mounting kits for other makes and models will be coming soon.
Curtis Industries, LLC has designed, manufactured, and distributed vehicle cab systems and snow plows for more than 40 years. Curtis is a leading manufacturer of cab enclosures for tractors, utility vehicles and golf cars. Curtis is also a significant OEM supplier to top manufacturers of tractors and utility vehicles providing cab enclosures and snowplow systems. The company operates from a 145,000 sq. ft. modern manufacturing facility in Worcester, Massachusetts. For more information on Curtis products visit www.curtiscab.com or call 800-343-7676.
New Allmand Portable Light Tower Features More Power, Greater Fuel Capacity
Allmand Bros. Inc. announces the latest addition to its popular line of Maxi-Lite® portable light towers—the ML 30 EX. This dual-purpose unit brings extra versatility to construction, mining, and oil and gas worksites.
 The ML 30 EX delivers up to 30 kilowatts of available power, an increase of 10 kilowatts from Allmand’s next largest unit. This provides an additional electrical power source for powering temporary work trailers, pumps, additional lighting or other auxiliary equipment.
Greater fuel capacity is another important feature of the ML 30 EX. The 135-gallon fuel capacity provides up to 135 hours of run time without refueling, resulting in extended operation with less service expense. The trailer-integrated fuel containment system allows the unit to be more environmentally friendly than other standard light towers.
By utilizing Allmand’s SHO-HD 1,250-watt parallel lamp fixtures, the ML 30 EX provides up to 150,000 lumens per lamp, a 36-percent increase over competitive light towers. An optional Saf-T-Visor™ attachment directs previously wasted light onto the worksite.
2-Allmand ML 30 EX Light Tower
Standard features include a modular engine/genset, which allows for simple engine/generator removal or change out. Furthermore, service is simplified with a hinged ballast panel, which only requires two bolts to be removed for full access. A captive latch on tower support and outriggers eliminates the potential for lost pins. Optional inside lamp storage for both four and six light models allows for better security of the exclusive SHO lamp fixtures when the lighting system is not being used.
Allmand Bros. Inc., established in 1938, is a leading manufacturer of portable light towers, compact tractor loader backhoes, Port-A-Lite™ light stands, solar arrowboards and jobsite heaters.
