| Before there was an R&B Wagner, there was a Wagner Iron Works. One of the items the company was known for was a hydraulic loader. While Wagner no longer manufactures these loaders, many of them are still out there and we often get calls regarding parts and information. We have found a copy of an original owner's manual --circa 1950 -- and it is now available online for viewing or download. Click here to view the Wagner Loader Owner's Manual. |

The original Wagner Style B formed handrail bracket (#3418) has been redesigned to adjust the vertical clearance from the underside of the handrail to the horizontal arm of the bracket.
The Style B formed handrail bracket offers a 1-1/2" horizontal and vertical clearance to meet code requirements and the recommendations of the newly published Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
The 2004 ADAAG states the space between a wall and a handrail must be 1-1/2 inches minimum. Additionally, there is a requirement that "horizontal projections shall occur 1-1/2 inches (38mm) minimum below the bottom of the handrail gripping surface. Wagner's new formed bracket will meet both of these clearance requirements.
Wagner Style B brackets are available in steel, satin stainless steel and satin muntz. |

 One
of the new products we brought to the NOMMA trade show last month was
Pure Iron -- this is a metal that is known for its high malleability
and forging quality. We were fortunate that Uri Hofi used one of the
samples at the Big Blu Hammer Demo which resulted in the item to the
right -- in one heat. Uri raved about the product and now the word has
gotten out. We've been receiving e-mails and phone calls wanting to
know when the material is coming. We expect the material to be here in
June.
By the way, that leaf in the photo was made from 1-1/8" bar and is 5-1/2" wide by 9" long.

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Well, the first thing that's new is this blog. I'll be reporting here on Wagner related events and news. You will also be able to add your comments to the thread.
We have just returned from NOMMA's MetalFab 2006 in Savannah, GA. This is always a great show and an opportunity to catch up with our many friends across the country. Last Thursday night was pirate night and we have photos that should be appearing here in the near future.
It was also a nice opportunity to get away from the chill up here in Milwaukee. The hope was that we would get back and find Spring wating for us but Winter isn't quite ready to give way just yet -- we had about two inches of snow yesterday. However, with St. Patrick's Day now upon us, it can't be too much longer.
