The nitrid- ing heat treatment process creates a hardened surface that is hard to scratch so rust can't get underneath it, according to Rotary Lift. The MOD35 frame is also electrocoated; paint is electrically bonded into every nook and cranny for a long-lasting fnish, company offcials said. Ad- ditionally, all fasteners are treated with a duplex coating system that prevents rust and seized bolts. Rotary Lift www.rotarylift.com App tracks school buses, students GPS School Bus Tracking System is available as a web and mobile application to help parents, teach- ers and school authorities track the real-time location of buses and students, company offcials said. Parents and school authori- ties can request the software from the company's website. School management can monitor the speed at which the buses travel, the distance and mileage covered, and get details about the buses' travel history and stops, according to the company. Parents are noti- fed of the arrival of the school bus 10 minutes before it reaches its designated stop, and they receive notifcations when the child boards the bus, alights the bus, if the bus stops for an unusually long period and more. EdSys www.edsys.in Pliers feature extended reach IPA's 14-inch Large MANTUS tight access tool features a slim, low-profle design that surpasses the reach of the indus- try's longest available needle nose pliers, company offcials said. Unlike traditional pliers, the handles are designed to fex as pressure is applied to ensure a strong and consistent grip on the object being retrieved. At the end of the tool's reach, the Large MANTUS features 30 interlocking teeth that are designed to grab a variety of objects, including fuses, wires, hoses, gaskets, O-rings, hardware and more.
