From trustworthy trackers to irrigation illustrations, here are new and interesting products to start the new year off right.
| Track jobsites with phoneManage employees and equipment using the ExakTime PocketClock/GPS, a mobile time- and equipment-tracking app for iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and Windows mobile smartphones and tablets. Employees can use their phone or tablet to snap a photo of themselves using their camera and the FaceFront Biometrics photo verification feature, which prevents employees from clocking in for one another. The bookkeeper can then match the employees’ field photo with their master photos stored in the office.
The ExakTime’s equipment-tracking feature maintains a history of where the equipment has been and allows you to capture photos, notes and voice recordings from the field. Simply assign a piece of equipment to an employee and worksite, and the software tracks it in real-time. The software also supports three languages: English, Spanish and French. |

| Chip awayTipping the scales at less than 4,700 pounds, Rayco’s 12-inch-capacity chipper is powered by an 89-horsepower GM gasoline engine. Its 20-inch-diameter feed wheel is driven by a planetary hydraulic drive motor with torque to climb over logs and pull in brush. Rayco’s X-Charge discharge fan maximizes discharge velocity to prevent plugging. | |

Running entirely off of compressed air, this handheld vacuum is available in three models (1500, 1510, 1548) and has a cast-aluminum body. They also have 1 1/4-inch tapered vacuum inlets and a built-in hanging eyelet. | |
