Water Main Breaks in the News

Working Demo with KC Southern Railroad

After 2+ years of talking about it, we finally decided the time for talk was over, and the time for action was upon us. We coordinated schdules, and some of the folks from KC Southern and HIPPO Multipower Systems got together to test our 2032E multipower pack.

Offloading the 2032E for its mission

Getting it into position...

Hammer Time, KC Style! (With a Stanley SD67 Spike Driver)

The mission for the day was securing the rail to new ties, which were being installed just ahead of us. There were two main things about the 2032E that really impressed KC Southern:

They could operate (2) SD67 Spike Drivers, Simultaneously, for Continuous Duty. They could have a man on each rail, working side-by-side, instead of 1-guy going back and forth between the rails. This would literally allow them to work twice as fast. If team HIPPO would have remembered to bring a 2nd set of hydraulic hoses, we'd have the pictures to prove it. As it is, you'll just have to take our word for it. OR...schedule a demo!

Heat. Or better put, the lack thereof. KC Southern has a terrible problem with their hydraulic tools getting too hot. As we continue to say, "Don't blame the tool!" Our tools don't get hot, and neither did theirs...when hooked up to a properly designed hydraulic tool circuit. If the system is designed correctly - and ours is - then the oil will stay cool. We operated the 2032E continuously for 28min. In that time, they hammered in approximately 20-25 spikes. At the end of the mission, you could put your bare hand on the hydraulic couplers, and they weren't even as warm as a cup of coffee! We weren't surprised: The 2032E can remove up to 120,000 (thousand!) BTU's of heat energy!

At 1300 blows-per-minute, the Stanley SD67 made short work out of driving those spikes!

The 2032E peformed like "magic", even hovering in mid-air to the amasement of all! ;)

The 2032E delivers up to 80cfm of compressed air, 4,000 Watts of electricity, and provides two (2), fully adjustable, 0–10 GPM hydraulic tool circuits. It can operate any two power sources, simultaneously, for continuous duty operation. Equipped with lifting rings and forklift pockets, it can be taken to a job site in a vehicle as small as a pickup truck, placed on the ground and used to support workers, independent of the truck, and eliminate, multiple auxiliary engines.

The 2032E is a member of a suite of HIPPO multi-power units that simultaneously generate electricity, compressed air and hydraulic power to operate numerous, high-power, handheld tools.
