Magnetic Induction Heating System
OTC, a business unit of SPX Corp., introduced the 6650 Magnetic Induction Heating System to help technicians remove metal parts that can’t be removed easily with flame or other radiant heat sources.
With an available power rating of 1500 watts, the system produces heat in seconds within metal objects, such as body panels, nuts, bolts and pinchweld areas behind glass, without heating non-metallic objects such as glass, paint or plastic, said the company. Potential safety risks to technicians, such as cuts from sharp metal and burns from torches and heated metal, are said to be reduced.

Swinging Gladhand
Phillips Industries introduced a low-profile, compact Singer Gladhand designed for intermodal fleets and those pulling piggyback trailers, said the company.
The gladhand follows the tractor to prevent accidental disconnects and kinking air lines. When the product is disconnected, it swings closed to a sealed position to prevent contaminants from entering the air system. The upper portion of the product rotates 180 degrees on a nylon glide ring, while the lower portion remains still, allowing the airline to remain immobile. The gladhand eliminates the use of hoses with swinger valves, said the company.
