Tough-Terrain Combi Goes Electric

Combilift’s new multidirectional Combi-XLE electric forklift offers up to 10,000-lb. lift capacity, while combining emission-free operation with powerful performance.

The original engine-powered XL C-Series model was developed for tough working environments. The new version retains such key design features as high ground clearance, large cushioned front and rear tires, and a spacious cab, for smooth, comfortable operation on semi-rough terrain.

Other features include all-wheel traction that reduces tire wear, load swing, and enhances braking, and Eco-Steer System for a smaller turning radius and improved user experience. n COMBILIFT.COM (877) 266-2456

Super Mark It

Duramark’s ChalkShot from U.S. Tape provides a unique, high-visibility, nonpermanent marking solution when working on greasy, dirty, rust-covered and other hard-to-mark surfaces.

The dispenser shoots chalk with high-visibility green nonpermanent pigment to mark on drywall, concrete, metal and dirty surfaces. The marking dye is environmentally friendly and can wipe off easily if a mark needs to be moved, yet it is also long lasting.

By reaching where pencils can’t reach, it can mark up to a 2” thick template and can be used at every angle. One unit can mark over 250 locations. n CHALKSHOT.COM (800) 472-8273

Black Mesquite Flooring

Elemental Hardwoods has expanded its exotic hardwood flooring line with the addition of Black Mesquite, a beautiful, hard-to-source species known for its extreme stability, durability, distinctive character, and chocolate and gray brown grain patterns.

Sourced sustainably from Argentina and Paraguay, Black Mesquite is dense, with a silky texture, wild grain and character, possessing a range of lustrous brown and gray-brown colors that will darken with age. Its extreme stability makes it not only highly workable, but also a top choice for glue- or nail-down applications, especially in difficult environments.

The flooring is available in unfinished square edge TG4S in ½” and ¾” thicknesses, widths that span from 3” to 8”, and 1’ to 7’ lengths. n ELEMENTALHARDWOODS.COM (504) 756-8876

For interior tones, choose between Marvin’s selection of natural, stained or painted wood. Each individual piece of wood is sanded, conditioned, stained and oven-cured before pieces are clear-coated, sanded and clear-coated again for an ideal finish. n MARVIN.COM (888) 537-7828

Wire-Brushed Stair Treads

Viewrail has added wire-brushed stair treads to its collection of treads for Flight, Stratus and Terrace floating stair systems. They are also available as stand-alone items.

The process of wire brushing wood with the grain brings out the unique aspects of each grain of the tread, producing a weathered or aged look, as well as a tactile feel and a more vibrant appearance. The exposed heartwood is more resistant to normal wear.

Treads come in 15 species, 39 finishes, and six widths (36” to 72”) with left, right or double returns. n VIEWRAIL.COM (866) 261-8013
