This week, United Rentals added the ability for contractors to view emissions level information of rental equipment online. Plus, a Tadano AC 3.045-1 City crane was paired with a Tadano E-Pack to perform a zero-emission lifting job inside a clean room hall where no engine emissions were allowed.

In other news this week, Caterpillar revamped the Cat 352 excavator with power and stability features, CanLift added two XCMG rough-terrain scissor lifts to its line of equipment for sale and for rent, and Kubota updated the SVL75-3 compact track loader with a new hydraulic system. Here are five articles this week you won't want to miss.

More power and stability help Cat's 50-tonne excavator work well with larger attachments

Increased power and a heavier counterweight are central features of the new Caterpillar 352 hydraulic excavator. These updates provide the excavator with the ability to work with larger work tools. The 352 is a 50-tonne excavator that, depending on the configuration, has a maximum digging depth of up to 8,210 mm and a maximum reach at ground of 12,150 mm. It offers fixed or variable gauge undercarriage options. Variable gauge allows the undercarriage to retract to 2,390 mm for easier transportation, and when expanded offers greater stability than the fixed gauge option.
