Ditch Witch has acquired the HydraWheel design of rock saws from River City Manufacturing.
The rock saws will be manufactured, branded and sold under the Ditch Witch name by the Ditch Witch dealer network. The saws, which range in depth from 9 to 46 inches, can be paired with both stand-on skid steers and heavy-duty tractors.
Ditch Witch says the move reinforces its commitment to the traditional open-cut utility installation, as it sees continued strong demand in the fiber market.
To accelerate the electrification of mobile elevating work platforms, Genie and parent company Terex Corporation have made a Series A investment in Acculon Energy, a Columbus, Ohio-based developer of electrification solutions for non-automotive equipment.
In addition to battery technologies, Genie will also benefit from the artificial intelligence and cloud-connected products Acculon offers.
