pillar packaged gen sets. The EMCP
panel offers more features, greater accuracy
and better reliability than conventional
systems.
In testing alone, the panels are taken
through the full gamut of environmental
conditions. They are immersed in water,
subjected to temperatures of -40C and

+70C, even given a complete vibration
test.
They also, of course, undergo extensive
laboratory testing at the Caterpillar
Research Centre and thousands of hours
of testing in all sorts of severe conditions.
The EMCP system comes through
the testing more than twice as reliable as
conventional control panel systems.
As for features and accuracy, the
EMCP wins hands down over conventional
systems. Where the conventional
unit might have a high water temperature
shut down switch or a low oil pressure
alarm switch, the EMCP has a
water temperature probe and an oil pressure
input port. The EMCP maintains
control and monitoring accuracy over
the entire operating temperature range
and displays highly accurate AC metering.
To test them in all possible environmental
conditions, the units are immersed
in water, subjected to
temperatures of -40C and +70C and
even given a complete vibration test.
At the Caterpillar Research Centre
laboratories, the panels undergo further
testing for thousands of hours in a
variety of severe conditions.
Rental Rates
When it comes to calculating the rental
rate, William Adam's Rate Card
makes the task very easy. Designed with
an inside slip that pulls out, the card is
simply positioned over the required unit
and all the relevant details appear in the
display window.
In the upper part of the window the
model number, the machine capacity (in
both kVA and kW) and the maximum
amps for the unit are displayed. The
lower part of the window gives the rental
rate for an 8 hour day, a forty hour
week and a 160 hour month.
Wide Use
William Adams has rented gen sets to
a wide variety of clients, for an equally
varied number of applications.
These include mine and quarry sites,
telephone exchanges, supermarkets,
pop concerts, circuses and many sporting
events.
Mobile Towers — Competitive Prices
Alscaf Pty. Ltd. is a Sydney
based company specializing in
the manufacture, sales & hire of
Aluminium Mobile Scaffold
Towers & Swinging Stages.
The company was established
in 1988 to provide a specialised
service to its customers and to
accommodate the growing
demands of the Aluminium Scaffold
hire operations of its related
company, Construction Rentals
Pty. Ltd.
The initiative was indeed time­ Great Synagogue, Sydney.
ly as the building boom in Sydney
was then in full swing and the
market's demand for Aluminium Scaffold
was quite unprecedented.
Alscaf's Aluminium Mobile Towers
have many great advantages over the
opposition. All Scaffold is manufactured
from 2.6mm wall thickness tube
and has an external tube diameter of
48.8mm, enabling the added use of
standard scaffold fittings.

The system is designed so that every
frame is available for use as a base
frame. By simply adding four additional
castors and extra platforms, a six meter
tower can become two smaller towers
thus utilising all available frames and
optimising the investment in scaffold.
Frame heights are either lm or 1.5m
with 500mm between horizontal mem­
bers. This means that it is not
necessary to purchase frames especially
for guard rails. In fact all
Alscaf frames may be used as
either building frames or guard
rails.
The 200mm castors come in two
formats: either with adjustable legs
for uneven surfaces or the "slip on"
variety which is used mainly for
slab work on level floors. Significant
savings can be made by
using the "slip on" castors as they
are approximately half the price of
the adjustable type.
The Alscaf platform is designed
for ease of handling being light in
weight with accessible maintenance for
all parts; should the need arise.
You would think that for all the features
included in the Alscaf Aluminium
Mobile Tower the price would be high.
This is not so! Our Scaffold is the most
competitively priced on the market.
