Heavy Equipment Guide — November/December 2008 / 3

Recognizing leadershipThe construction equipment industry has a Hall of Fame whose mission is to recognize, celebrate and preserve the history of outstanding people in the construction equipment industry whose inventions, ideas, leadership and courage have made supreme contributions to the industry and to our quality of life.

It was originally created in 1993, and after a period of inactivity, the Association of Equip-

ment Manufacturers (AEM) re-introduced it this year as the AEM Hall of Fame with fi ve new inductees. Candidates were judged by an independent panel of industry experts and supporters on how well they exemplifi ed fi ve guiding principles: innovation, industry contributions, leadership, corporate citizenship/social responsibility and sustainability.

“Our inductees this year represent some of the most infl uential minds in the history of construction and equipment manufacturing,” AEM President Dennis Slater said at the induction ceremony.

This issue, I will present two of these people to you and in an up-coming issue, I will cover the other three.

Sir Anthony BamfordBefore he became chairman of JCB in 1975,

Sir Anthony Bamford established JCB SA, the company’s French subsidiary in Paris, which has become the model for JCB’s worldwide devel-opment. Under his leadership, the company has grown from a regional equipment manufacturer to one with 300 products and manufacturing plants on four continents selling to over 150 nations. JCB has won more than 50 awards for exports, marketing, design, tech-nology and for its care for the environment, among them 23 Queen’s Awards for Technological and Export achievement. He has also over-seen efforts to promote industry workforce development. One is a company educational centre now being developed to educate students in engineering, manufacturing processes and international business.

LeRoy G. HagenbuchLeRoy G. Hagenbuch, P.E. is co-Founder

and president of the engineering fi rm Philippi-Hagenbuch, Inc. His patent for the fi rst commer-cially available tailgate designed for off-highway haul trucks was only the beginning. He is now credited with 89 patents, 51 in the United States and 38 in other countries. The most recent patent refi nes rear-ejection technology, allowing opera-tors to push the load from the back of a haul truck instead of raising the bed. To advance the process of mine reclamation, he developed many products to effi ciently haul overburden and other materials. Hagenbuch has made outreach and industry progress a mainstay of his career. He has written white papers on vital industry topics, spoken at conferences and trade shows worldwide, and been active with many associations on behalf of the industry. His operating philosophy has been to extend the safety focus beyond training and awareness; each Philippi-Hagenbuch engineer is challenged on the safety of their product designs. In ad-dition, each staff and production meeting at the company starts with a discussion of a critical safety topic.

Best wishes for 2009.

Loader evolution

ASV’s PT-60 Rubber Track Loader has undergone the most signifi cant evolution of all of ASV’s new product line and includes a powerful new two-speed powertrain that gives operators the choice of higher torque in low for digging and tough excavation, or faster travel in high with a maximum speed of 11 mph (17.7 kph). There are also new, more durable, steel rear-idler wheels in the rubber track undercarriage.

The PT-70 and PT-80 models feature larger standard interiors and improved torque when in the high speed range. The largest unit, the PT-100, delivers 99.5 hp (74 kW). ASVEnter 9506 on Reader Reply Card

4WD compact tractors

Bobcat’s new line of compact tractors fea-ture four-wheel drive for travelling over and working in rough terrain, and hydrostatic transmissions for easy operation.

The compact tractors can be used with Bobcat implements, including an angle blade, auger, backhoe, box blade, fi nish mower, seeder and tine rake, as well as a front-end loader and attachments.

The 2,055-pound Bobcat CT120 com-pact tractor features a 20-hp diesel engine and two travel speed ranges.

The two-speed CT122, and the thee-speed CT 225, CT230 and CT235 have 22-, 17-, 30- and 34-hp, respectively. Weights for these models range from 2,055 pounds to 3,055 pounds.Bobcat CompanyEnter 9508 on Reader Reply Card

New track-type tractors

Lever efforts for Caterpillar’s new D3K, D4K and D5K dozers are decreased by as much as 90 percent compared to conven-tional mechanical control levers. The left joystick incorporates a thumb wheel for on-the-go speed adjustments, plus a speed recall button that lets the operator quickly select a pre-programmed operating speed. The right joystick includes an automatic blade shake button for easy removal of excess material, as well as a thumb roller for low-effort blade angle adjustments.

A single fl oor pedal controls the de-celeration and service brake functions. Pressing the pedal past the speed control detent activates the service brakes.

The D3K, D4K and D5K have 74-hp (55kW), 84-hp (63kW) and 96-hp (72kW) engines, respectively, and are available with extra long (XL) and low ground pressure (LGP) track frames.Caterpillar Inc.Enter 9501 on Reader Reply Card

Reaches diffi cult spots

The low-profi le, telescoping-boom action of the new Gradall XL 4100 III excavator allows the unit to work where conventional knuckle booms cannot, under bridges and tree limbs or in tunnels. A live boom exten-sion gives the ability to reach over obstacles and into ditches.

The carrier is available in two versions: a 6 x 4 model which weighs approximately 47,500 pounds (21,545 kg); and a 6 x 6 model that weighs approximately 49,420 pounds (22,416 kg). The operator can also select the Gradall, Deere or SAE joystick pattern.

Rated bucket force is 24,900 pounds (111 kN) while the telescoping boom crowd force is 24,500 pounds (109 kN). Unlike conventional excavators, the telescoping boom forces are constant through the en-tire dig cycle. The versatile boom delivers a maximum reach of 30 feet, 3 inches (9.22 m) at grade; a dig depth of 20 feet, 3 inches (6.17 m); and a lift height of 22 feet, 6 inches (6.83 m).

The excavator is suitable for grading and fi nishing work, pavement removal and demolition. Gradall IndustriesEnter 9507 on Reader Reply Card

Versatile backhoe loader

The John Deere 410J backhoe loader has the versatility to dig deep, load trucks,

Fuel-saving wheel loader

The Liebherr driveline on the L 528 and L 550 wheel loaders, combined with low operating weight, result in savings of up to 25 percent in fuel consumption compared to conventional-drive wheel loaders.

An ultra-modern cab design allows the operator to achieve better performance and productivity. The displays, controls and driver’s seat are carefully coordin-ated to form a perfect ergonomic unit.

The combination of the Liebherr hydrostatic driveline and the unique position of the diesel engine allows for higher tipping loads at low operating weight. This leads to signifi cantly higher productivity with no need for unnecessary counterweight.

The large Liebherr wheel loaders are equipped with the 2plus2 gearbox, so tractive force and speed are automatic-ally adjusted to the demands of the job without the driver having to shift. Liebherr CanadaEnter 9502 on Reader Reply Card

Greater lift and stability

The 34.8-ton, 107-hp (143-kW) Volvo ECR305CL short-swing excavator can work in confi ned areas and still perform well, and sets a new standard in the indus-try for not only lifting capacity but also stability. With better weight distribution and increased swing torque, it also offers superb swing performance when working on slopes.

Even when not working close to obstruc-tions, the short front/rear radius has other uses – highway work being a prime ex-ample where the machine can safely swing within a typical single road lane width, minimizing disruption to traffi c fl ow.

The new rounded cab on Volvo’s short swing models is also designed to stay within the rear swing radius.

The bucket range on the Volvo ECR305CL is from 1.0 to 2.1 cubic metres and a wide range of Volvo attachments is available, as are quick attach options.Volvo Construction EquipmentEnter 9504 on Reader Reply Card

break surfaces, crane pipe and more. Powerful and quick high-pressure hydraul-ics deliver generous breakout and lift cap-acity at both ends, along with impressive backhoe crowd power and swing torque. With the tool carrier version, operators get true parallel lift throughout the lift arc, making this 15-foot machine a master of material-handling tasks.

Standard limited-slip, mechanical front-wheel drive delivers 80 percent of available power to the wheel with the best traction.

A tool-carrier version with quick coupler boasts increased lift capability, plus set-and-forget parallel lift, return-to-carry, and boom height kick-out. A ride-control option smoothes roading over rough terrain.

There are three hydraulic speeds: fast, for up to 20-percent quicker cycle times; medium, for normal digging; or slow, for craning objects, working in confi ned spaces or excavating around existing utilities.John DeereEnter 9503 on Reader Reply Card

Expanded excavator line

The 64,595-pound JS290 Auto and the 77,162-pound JS360 Auto boosts JCB’s offering in the important 62,000-pound to 8 5 , 0 0 0 - p o u n d category. Both machines feature a new undercar-riage design, re-fi ned boom and dipper arm layout, ground level service access, and increased cooling capacity.

The JS290 Auto is powered by a 216-hp engine and can be supplied with long or narrow tracks, a choice of three dipper arm lengths and an XD heavy duty version for more arduous operating conditions.

The JS290 Auto offers six percent more engine power, four percent more hydraulic power and 11 percent higher dipper tearout force than the class average. The slew torque and bucket tearout forces are also 14 percent and 19 percent ahead of the class average respectively.JCBEnter 9509 on Reader Reply Card

Unique ADT suspension

Terex’s TA30 articulated dump truck (ADT) has a unique independent front suspension system with integral wet disc brakes. It was developed in conjunction with Timoney Mobility Systems of Navan (Ireland) and is a purpose-designed, parallel-linkage, coil-spring system. This system addresses the increasing emphasis on driver comfort. It also signifi cantly adds to the potential for increased productivity by providing a smooth ride and improved handling, which can result in faster cycle times.

All Terex TA articulated haulers are fi tted with the latest Tier 3 engines for opti-mum performance and fuel effi ciency. The TA30 has the 350-hp Cummins QSM11 engine. Maximum payload for this models is 30.9 tons.

All-round, fully-enclosed wet-disc brakes on all wheels provide long-life and fade-free braking. This not only improves overall braking performance and operating effi ciency, but it also greatly increases ser-vice life and reduces operating costs.Terex Construction AmericasEnter 9505 on Reader Reply Card

Not every mix and application is the same, so your asphalt compactor should be versatile and easy to set up to match performance to ever-changing conditions. If it isn’t easy to use,how can it be productive?

Cat® Asphalt Compactors get the work done on the breakdown pass, when the mattemperatures are higher and conditions are optimal for compaction. They are comfortableand simple to operate: high amplitude for aggressive compaction, low amplitude for gentlemassaging. They match high paving speeds with high frequency, and low paving speeds withlow frequency. Simple and reliable, with predictable density every time in minimal passes. No complexity and constant tweaking, as there is using “non-aggressive” compactiontechnologies; no hoping your density numbers will catch up on the intermediate or final pass.

Caterpillar is the market leader because we offer proven technology that makes turning aprofit easier. Isn’t that what technology is supposed to do? To get the real story on asphaltcompaction, visit your Cat Dealer today.

Utility-class excavator

The new Hitachi ZX120-3 utility-class ex-cavator can easily be towed behind a dump truck and is available with rubber crawler pads and a backfi ll blade.

Heavy-duty undercarriage

Mustang’s MTL312 is the most compact of their track loader lineup, which also includes the MTL16, MTL20 and MTL25. It has a dedicated track design, meaning the unit is built as a track loader with a heavy-duty undercarriage system versus being built as a skid-steer loader with a bolt-on undercarriage. The result of this exclusive engineering is a stronger track loader.

With an operating weight of 5,952 pounds and a width of just under 58 inches, the MTL312 gives operators the small size they need outside the operator’s com-partment, yet offers operators a spacious and comfortable cab. A fi nger tip-control joystick system promises a fatigue-free, high-productivity day on the job.Mustang Manufacturing CompanyEnter 9521 on Reader Reply Card

Super-slant nose

The standard D39EX-22 and low ground pressure D39PX-22 crawler dozers are equipped with Komatsu’s proven Hydro-static Transmission (HST). The D39EX-22 features a super-slant nose coupled with a new cab forward design that moves the operator closer to the blade while improv-ing machine balance, ride and stability.

Joystick-controlled grader

The 117-hp, LeeBoy 705 motor grader provides smooth grading at high and slow speeds with its six-speed forward and three-speed reverse power shift hydrostatic trans-mission. Right- and left-hand joysticks, integral to the adjustable suspension oper-ator’s chair, control all grader functions.

The 10-foot sliding and tilting mold-board – with 18-inch, right- or left-side shift, and shoulder reach of 36 inches – al-lows the operator to shift the blade in or out of hard to reach areas.

Maneuverability of the 705 motor grader is enhanced with 18-degree, right or left articulation behind the cab. This gives the 705 an outside turning radius of 17.5 feet. Grading functions are assisted with front-axle oscillation of 20 degrees, front-wheel lean of 15 degrees and front-wheel steering angle of 50 degrees.LeeBoyEnter 9522 on Reader Reply Card

(107-kW), Tier 3 rated engine, which is exceptionally quiet.

Optimum use of the available power is the core feature of the new Dash-9 ser-ies. The ‘smart’ hydraulic systems feature new, tough, variable-volume high-pressure pumps coupled with an advanced control valve system. The synergy between the pumps and main control valve offers enormous operational benefi ts to the oper-ator.

Hydrostatic 4WD compactor

Bomag has taken innovations from their single-drum rollers and meshed them with proven design features from their refuse compactors to produce a machine that is well-suited to push, spread, and compact soil for medium to large-scale dirt projects. Providing power, gradeability and traction, the BC462EB features four-wheel hydro-static drive and a 255-hp, water-cooled, Deutz diesel engine.

Unlike Bomag’s full line of single-drum vibratory rollers, the BC462EB achieves superior compaction through sheer weight (51,000 pounds), the wheel design, and the impact force of the teeth. The BC462EB is ideal for highways, bridges, dams and other projects where spreading and compacting large amounts of soil is required.

It features a sealed frame design to keep job site materials from entering the frame or engine compartment while providing complete protection to the drive train com-ponents. A scraper bar system keeps the wheels free of dirt, maintaining the highest level of compaction performance. BOMAG CanadaEnter 9600 on Reader Reply Card

Pneumatic-tired roller

LeeBoy’s Rosco brand Tru-Pac 915 pneu-matic-tired roller features an articulated design that provides true tracking on turns and full-width compaction, which is espe-cially useful in tight areas. The traditional nine-wheel Tru-Pac 915 has a 68-inch compaction width. All-wheel oscillation increases kneading action during compac-tion and eliminates fl oating over low spots for consistent compaction.

Frame articulation is rated at +/- 40 degrees, while the tire oscillation is rated at +/- 10 degrees. Powered by an 80-hp Cat diesel engine, the Tru-Pac 915 has hydro-static wheel-motor drive to provide infi n-itely variable control of the roller at speeds from 0 to 15 mph. Ballastable up to 30,500 pounds, each of the nine wheels delivers approximately 3,500 pounds of compactive force directly to the work surface. LeeBoyEnter 9605 on Reader Reply Card

Smooth or padfoot drums

The Case 200 Series vibratory compaction rollers includes four single-drum vibratory units with operating weights from 15,741 to 31,553 pounds (7,140 to 14,325 kg) and engines from 100 to 148 hp (75 to 110 kW). They come in a smooth-drum confi guration for compaction of loose and semi-cohesive material and rock fi ll. The padfoot model is designed for semi-cohesive and cohesive materials. An optional shell kit is available for the smooth-drum model to convert it to a padfoot. Drum widths range from 66 inches on the SV208 to 87 inches on the SV216.

Case SV200 Series rollers offer dual vibration modes, adjustable amplitude and frequency, and centrifugal forces from 29,225 to 73,125 pounds (130 to 325 kN). The heavy-duty articulation and oscilla-tion joint provides maneuverability with 36-degree articulation and the ability to compact over uneven surfaces with 12-de-gree oscillation.Case Construction EquipmentEnter 9607 on Reader Reply Card

Oscillation and vibration

The Hamm 3412 VIO combines Hamm Oscillation Technology with conventional vibration technology in a single drum. The unique technology of the 3412 VIO allows the operator to choose vibration or oscilla-tion compaction, whichever is better suited for the soil or surrounding conditions. The 3000 Series of single-drum soil compactors gives contractors a new way to compact earth and satisfy customers. The 3000 Series has been designed from the ground up with input from dealers and customers the world over.

Vibratory utility compactors

Caterpillar’s CB22, CB24, CC24 and CB32 are vibratory utility compactors. The CB22 is equipped with 1000-mm (39-inch) wide drums, generates high static forces and has a good ratio of weight to power, leading to high performance in tough applications.

The CB24 is equipped with a 1200-mm (47-inch) drum and is the most versatile model in the utility compactor range.

The CB32 machine is fitted with a 1300-mm (51-inch) drum, offering more drum coverage than a CB24. Apart from the wider drum, the CB32 is similar in size making it easier to transport and maneuver than the larger CB34 utility compactor.

The CC24 offers the combination of a 1200-mm (47-inch) vibrating front drum and four pneumatic tires at the rear. This combination provides a smooth, tight mat fi nish.Caterpillar Inc.Enter 9603 on Reader Reply Card

Faster compaction

The Sakai SW652ND double-drum os-cillating roller oscillates or vibrates on both drums simultaneously. Each drum is independently controlled for optimum fl ex-ibility. This advanced technology machine achieves the required compaction faster on both thin and thick lift asphalt applica-tions. The vibration mode is a typical Sakai dual-amplitude, high-frequency 4,020 vpm. Sakai high frequency permits high ground speeds that enable the roller to reach density quickly.

The more gentle oscillation mode offers a new drum motion that will neither over-compact the mat nor fracture the aggregate. By developing a horizontal, rather than vertical motion in the oscillatory mode, the SW652ND can successfully vibrate

two drum configuration options. The SD116DX smooth drum model, with an operating weight of 23,930 pounds (10,852 kg), is ideal for compacting granular soils. The SD116F padfoot model, designed for compacting cohesive-type materials, weighs 25,050 pounds (11,360 kg). Both machines have an 84-inch (2,134 mm) rolling width.

The SD116DX compactor can be con-verted from a smooth drum to a padfoot drum machine by using the patented Volvo two-piece, clamp-on, padfoot shell kit. The machines are engineered to increase com-paction production with a high centrifugal force – 61,000 pounds (271 kN). Volvo Road MachineryEnter 9602 on Reader Reply Card

that simplify and speed servicing. Use of a double pump vibration system eliminates the need for a vibration valve, making the system more effi cient, aiding servicing and reducing fuel consumption. Both pumps – one for the front drum and one for the rear – can simply be shut off.

Real-time material density

Trimble’s new CM310 Compaction Sensor enables the display of real-time material density to the earthworks compactor oper-ator. This can increase machine productiv-ity while providing complete, consistent material compaction over the entire con-struction project. Material surfaces can be compacted faster with better in-place densities – improving the efficiency of other earthworks operations, such as opti-

mization of haul truck times and improved water drainage and management.

Now, the contractor can compact sub-surface material to a target density and number of machine passes, analyze sub-surface grade post-compaction for defi ciencies in the surface (whether certain locations are high, low or on grade), and catch grade control mistakes in real-time, prior to the start of the fi nal road building process.

Mobile jaw crusher

The 345-hp BR580JG-1 mobile jaw crusher has an operating weight of 108,000 to 112,440 pounds and is suitable for high-way construction, quarry, demolition and excavation applications. It is equipped with the latest Komtrax technology (Level 2), which sends machine operating informa-tion to a secure website utilizing wireless technology.

The newly designed, vibrating grizzly feeder moves the material elliptically to effectively separate and feed it evenly into the new KCJ4430 jaw. The jaw has a load-presetting semiautomatic feeder system. These features have substantially increased the crushers output for an unsurpassed production capacity.

The jaw protects itself by allowing the locking cylinders to fully open the dis-charge port (unlike crushers that typically bend toggle plates when clogged). This makes it easy to remove clogged material from the crusher.Komatsu America Corp.Enter 9628 on Reader Reply Card

Independent auger system

Volvo’s PF6160 and PF6170 wheeled highway-class pavers have been designed with independent auger and conveyor sys-tems, automatic conveyor tensioning, and a patented front-wheel suspension.

The auger system is now independent of the conveyor system. Each of the two auger and conveyor drives uses sonic sensors for more precise handling of material. The conveyor system has chains that are auto-matically tensioned for proper performance and less downtime. The conveyor chain cover cleans itself, providing easier main-tenance. Reversible augers and conveyors are optional equipment. A hopper capacity of 14.38 t (13.04 mt) gives each paver a practical production rate of 820 t (744 mt) per hour.

Each paver is powered by a 205-hp (153-kW) Cummins Tier 3 engine. The PF6160 and PF6170 pavers have a paving speed of 297 feet per minute (90.5 metres per minute) and a traveling speed of 12 miles

“Clean-sheet” design

Vögele’s next-generation asphalt pavers are quieter, cooler and more productive. The Vision Series is a completely new “clean-sheet” design. There is a 10-foot tracked Vision 5200-2 and wheeled Vision 5203-2, and an 8-foot tracked Vision 5100-2 and wheeled Vision 5103-2. Three drive ver-sions are available on the Vision 5203-2: rear-wheel drive, optional two-wheel front-wheel assist, and a new optional six-wheel drive.

The slope of the machine and hood have been designed so the operator can see the sides, the hopper, and the conveyors in the back, without having to move around.

The Vision Series has eliminated fl ow gates and implemented independent con-veyor and auger drives. Each conveyor is driven separately and independently from the auger. Wirtgen AmericaEnter 9639 on Reader Reply Card

Automatic depth control

The BM 2000/50 and BM 2000/60 cold planer milling machines from BOMAG are designed to remove damaged or deterior-ated asphalt surfaces from highways, streets and parking lots. Both units offer a 79-inch cutting width to remove a half lane of road surface in one pass.

The BM 2000/50 features a 469-horse-power engine that delivers a horsepower-per-cutting-tooth ratio of 2.8 and maximum working speed of 112 feet per minute (fpm). The 590-horsepower engine on the BM 2000/60 provides a horsepower-per-

and water. The Ultrafoam GX can achieve consistent foaming at varying production rates without the use of a powered mixing device. As a result, the AC and water can be introduced at widely different fl ow rates, temperatures, and pressures.

The Ultrafoam GX’s patent pending design provides variable orifi ces for both AC and water and a means to keep the two fl ows in intimate contact so that the available mixing energy is used effi ciently. As a result, the Ultrafoam GX maintains the perfect ratio of AC and water at all production rates and creates smaller, more stable bubbles for even consistent asphalt foaming.Gencor IndustriesEnter 9636 on Reader Reply Card

Advisor Monitoring System

Caterpillar’s AP655D asphalt paver can be used to pave highways, streets, county roads, lane additions, industrial sites, over-lays, airport runways and other medium- to high-production-size paving jobs. An Ad-visor Monitoring System includes project planning calculators, start-up checklists, engine operating parameters and many other features to assist the operator. The system also lists fault codes for machine functions, making troubleshooting quick and easy.

The Mobil-trac undercarriage offers increased traction for use on unstable bases or on grades, less ground pressure, and better fl otation compared to wheel-type pavers. High travel speeds allow quick repositioning at job sites or for travel to the next site. Mobil-trac can be purchased with either raised tread-bar belt or smooth belt.

simultaneously ‘hot-on-hot.’ As a result, the new concept provides a better interlocking of the two courses, ensuring increased life expectancy, higher deformation resistance, and lower maintenance costs.

Compactasphalt features a paver with two separate material hoppers for both as-phalt mixes, and a special unit to convey the wear course material to a second screed.

The hopper for the lower layer – gener-ally the binder – has a capacity of 45 t. The hopper for the wearing course holds 27 t. The use of mobile feeders allows a continu-ous movement of the paver, improving the surface evenness. DynapacEnter 9637 on Reader Reply Card

main drum, RAP is injected into the outer mixing chamber, never coming into direct contact with the hot gas stream of the dryer, reducing potential for increased blue smoke emissions.

Virtually all heat produced by the burner is utilized in the drying and mixing process. Heat used in the superheating process is captured in the outer mixing chamber and utilized in the blending of mix materials.

When injected into the outer mixing chamber, RAP is heated by virgin aggregate that has been superheated in the inner dry-ing chamber. This method has two benefi ts: excess moisture is removed from the RAP, and the reclaimed liquid asphalt partially coats the virgin aggregate. Astec, Inc.Enter 9645 on Reader Reply Card

Virtual pivot boom design

Genie Industries has recently introduced redesigned versions of its S-80 and S-85 telescopic booms. The signifi cant changes include: fi xed width axles; an exclusive virtual pivot boom assembly; faster eleva-tion time; improved software design for smoother, more comfortable operation; and intuitive operator and serviceability features. The fixed width axles on the redesigned booms give the machines an

eight-foot two-inch total width, both on the trailer and on the jobsite.

New to the S-80 and S-85 telescopic booms is the virtual pivot boom design which Genie Industries introduced in 2003 on the S-60 and S-65 booms. The primary benefi t of a virtual pivot boom is its abil-ity to keep the weight of the boom over the chassis’ centre of gravity as it elevates. To enhance operator effi ciency, the eleva-tion time on the S-80 and S85, from fully stowed to fully elevated, is decreased to 68 seconds. Genie IndustriesEnter 9667 on Reader Reply Card

New digging system

T h e E Z D i g System for mini-excavators is an ideal digging tool for trench-ing jobs where soil conditions are sticky, hard or filled with rocks or roots. The unique EZ Dig is designed with multiple spades, one be-hind the other, to chisel multiple cuts with every curl cycle. The number of spades is determined by the machine size.

The EZ Dig guarantees operators will dig faster in sticky soil conditions because the spades always dump cleanly. The EZ Dig System doubles the amount of material moved per pass when compared to a trad-itional bucket, allowing operators to work quickly and effi ciently.

The EZ Dig cuts clean trenches as narrow as four inches, removing only the necessary material. With this system, an operator can change the spade width to match the trench width. Rockland Manufacturing CompanyEnter 9672 on Reader Reply Card

Powerful hydraulic breaker

Atlas Copco’s new HB 10000 offers advanced technological fea-tures and is the most powerful unit in its line of heavy hydraulic breaker attach-ments.

Weighing in at an impressive 10 metric tons, the HB 10000 delivers 50-percent more impact energy than the HB 7000. In combina-tion with PowerAdapt, AutoControl and other Atlas Copco breaker technology, the power provided by the HB 10000 makes it an excellent option as a cost-effective production machine for primary rock breaking, and a viable alternative to certain drilling and blasting applications. The new breaker is also an ideal solution for heavy excavation and trenching projects, as well as for effi cient demolition of large, strong concrete structures. The breaker is suitable for carriers in the 85- to 140-metric-ton weight class.Atlas Copco Construction ToolsEnter 9673 on Reader Reply Card

Biometric crushing jaws

T h e n e w XCP3 High Five series of heavy-duty concrete pul-ver ize rs i s the latest in a long evolving line of mechanical pulver-izers from Nye.

These units are designed to outperform conventional hydraulic units in both pri-mary and secondary crushing operations. Nye pulverizers are built entirely from extra-thick quenched and tempered alloy plate, ready for years of work on the most demanding jobsites. The XCP3 series fea-

Trommel screening buckets

The TMB excav-ator mount and hydraul ica l ly driven portable screening plant a re compac t , lightweight and easy to operate. They are offered in four sizes for carriers ranging from six to 40 tons. A

double-acting single pump fl ow kit, like that used to operate a thumb, crusher, or shear, is all that is needed to achieve the two-way drum rotation this attachment offers. Or, units can operate in a single direction with normal hydraulic breaker plumbing. An in-body control valve allows drum rotation speed to be fi ne-tuned for smooth operation in a variety of applications, and an assort-ment of screen sizes from 3/8-inch (9 mm) to four inches (100 mm) are available. A typical application for the TMB trommel screening bucket includes screening C&D debris out of soil and sand to make recyc-ling effi cient and keep dumping require-ments to a minimum.

tures biomimetic crushing jaws modeled after bone-crushing wolf’s teeth. They have canine-type fangs that are perfect for grasping and puncturing material and, at the same time, protecting the noseplate.

Jaws are welded in place, not pinned, so they cannot fall out and jam your crusher. A new pinch plate grabs and pulls re-bar. The massively thick side plates around the torque tubes resist twisting.

An optional, patented ripper shank – excellent for picking, prying, lifting and fl ipping heavy slabs – is available. Nye pulverizers are easy to install, require no extra hydraulics and offer simple, safe, almost silent operation. Nye Manufacturing Ltd.Enter 9675 on Reader Reply Card

Compacting plate series

ALLU’s new VP series of accessories for excavators consists of fi ve different types of ground compacting plates. Applications include pipeline trenches, embankments, and parking places. Optimum vibration force and maximum depth of compaction, even up to three feet in one single phase, ensure that the compaction work is carried out in the most effective way.

ALLU VP fi ts excavators sized from 17,000 to 99,000 pounds. For very narrow trenches, the ALLU UV 8-2 compacting

Family of attachments

“JLG is setting an industry standard by providing a single family of attachments that utilize a common, quick attach coupler across all three telehandler product lines,” says Brian Boeckman, JLG’s product par-ent for telehandlers. “This change will simplify attachment ordering.”

The new family of attachments includes a grapple bucket, an eight-foot tower and a fork-mounted work platform. In addition, a variety of material buckets, truss booms and carriages of varying sizes and fork options are also offered.JLG IndustriesEnter 9683 on Reader Reply Card

Hydraulic pulverizers

The MCP Ser-ies of hydraulic p u l v e r i z e r s are rugged yet l i gh twe igh t , and are ideal for secondary demolition and for the recyc-ling of concrete. These units can be used to demolish concrete fl oors or low-wall, and provide the benefi ts of low noise and vibration, good fragmentation and good separation of steel wire from concrete ma-terial. Replaceable teeth are easy to change in the fi eld.

These units also feature a ripper shape design which allows operators to easily grab material on the ground or in a pile. Also, an open fi xed jaw allows material to pass through and increase production, and a fi xed mounting allows for handling of loads that are not centred.

Models are available for carriers from 39,700 pounds to 99,200 pounds. Units feature jaw depths from 27 inches to 35.4 inches (685 mm to 900 mm), and produc-tion capacities are from 80 tons to 200 tons per hour in non-reinforced concrete, and up to 35 tons per hour in reinforced concrete post (up to four-foot diameter).Breaker Technology (BTI)Enter 9687 on Reader Reply Card

Bucket linkage shears

BLS 2000 and BLS 3000 bucket linkage shears are ideal for cutting lighter structural steel such as I beams, H beams, pipe and rebar, where a larger shear is not required. They feature the patented Saber Series blade system with a 180-degree reversible Saber Tip and lower cross-blade. Tapped cutting blades allow the shear blades to be easily removed. Plus with more bolt-on components, maintenance time is signifi cantly reduced. Units also have an increased amount of high-strength steel in critical areas and increased pin sizes to withstand the high forces generated by excavators. By fully wrapping the pivot group, vital components are protected from damage.

The BLS 2000 is designed for use with machines in the 40,000- to 65,000-pound (18- to 29-metric-ton) class and the BLS 3000 is for machines in the 65,000- to 85,000-pound (29- to 38-metric-ton) class.Stanley LaBountyEnter 9681 on Reader Reply Card

Performance bucket

Caterpillar’s Pin Grabber Per-formance Buck-et is built for maximum dig-ging perform-ance when using a Pin Grabber Coupler on Cat 315 to the 345 hydraulic excavators. The system delivers powerful bucket curl forces in combination with the

versatility and convenience that a hydraul-ically powered quick coupler offers.

The patented, recessed-pin design re-duces tip radius and gives as much as 10 percent improvement in breakout force when compared to conventional pin-on bucket and coupler systems. The bucket is reversible on the coupler for easier work under pipes and sidewalks and for trench cleanup.

The new bucket is available in a range of sizes from 0.43 to 3.34 cubic yards (0.33 to 2.56 cubic metres) in general purpose, heavy duty, and heavy-duty rock designs. The bucket has removable plates on the sides of the bucket for access to the bucket pins when maintenance is needed.Caterpillar Inc.Enter 9682 on Reader Reply Card

High reach processors

LXP 200 and LXP 400 Logix Pro-cessors are spe-cifi cally designed for high-reach applications, and to bring third-member versatil-ity to excavators in the 50,000- and 100,000-pound range, respectively.

Logix Processors allow quick and safe changeovers between shear, pulverizer and concrete cracker jaw sets, while also affording a dramatic boost in power. The shear jaws feature the same piercing tip and blades as Genesis’ GXP mobile shear, making them ideal for heavy structural steel, including I-beams. Bolt-on wear parts – tooth beds for the pulverizer jaw and teeth for the cracker jaw – are also designed into these new models.GenesisEnter 9684 on Reader Reply Card

Compactor and driver

The all-new ex-treme Ho-Pacs deliver more impact energy, an e r ro r l e s s four-function valve, a variety of mount ing confi gurations, and mainten-ance-free, oil-splash bearing lubrication. Because it’s both a compactor and a driver, the Allied Ho-Pac permits even the small-est contractor or municipality to have this dual capability available. All models are available with Allied’s patented VMS mounting system for quick changing be-tween carriers.

The vibration produced by the Ho-Pac is an ideal force for compacting granular materials since vibration generates stress waves which bring the soil’s air to the surface. As a result, the particles of soil are rearranged and moved closer to each other, which reduces voids in the soil. Ho-Pacs compact in densities in excess of 95 percent Proctor.

As a driver, Ho-Pacs offer a faster, less-expensive technique for driving wood, steel and aluminum sheeting, H and I beams, piling, posts and sea walls. Ho-Pacs send vibration along the length of the item be-ing driven, breaking the skin friction that slows driving. Allied Construction ProductsEnter 9686 on Reader Reply Card
