HIGH-PRODUCTION SCREED ADVANCES UP TO FOUR FEET IN ONE PASS GOMACO has introduced a new high-production truss-mounted screed for paving bridge decks, flat slabs and floors. The new high-production screed can advance up to four feet (1.2 m) in a single pass drastically reducing finishing time and providing savings on concrete delivery costs and total project labour. It features a 5.7-foot-long (1.7 m) leading auger with a high-production strike-off action that reduces the number of puddlers needed out front. A five-foot-long (1.5 m) finishing cylinder, directly behind the auger, compacts and finishes the concrete in a single pass. A six-foot (1.8 m) trailing screed provides the final finish to the surface of the concrete with a unique GOMACO-designed vibratory system. The high-production screed with a patent-pending design for tilt and skew is mounted to the GOMACO C-450 truss system. The new mount is instrumental for the optional 3D package to finish to a 3D design model. The new GOMACO screed system now allows contractors to economically finish city streets, concrete floors, bridge decks, tunnels and canals at widths up to 104 feet (31.7 m).
MECALAC
VERSATILE SWIVEL SITE DUMPER
TIGERCAT
ROADSIDE PROCESSOR The Tigercat 850 processor is designed for high-volume roadside processing; the company says that it offers many advantages over excavator conversions including better service access, higher cooling capacity and processor head optimized hydraulics. The Tigercat FPT N67 engine delivers 159 kW (213 hp) at 2,100 rpm for Tier 4 Final emission compliance. An efficient load-sensing hydraulic system allows simultaneous machine and head functionality. The combination of high horsepower and harvester head optimized hydraulics leads to responsive control, quick feed speed and powerful delimbing capability for high productivity. A high-capacity swing system with dual swing drives provides ample torque and speed for high performance processing. The powerful, strength-to-weight optimized boom is designed specifically for processing and high stacking.
The TA3SH Power Swivel Site Dumper is designed for the small to medium jobsite and is ideal in crowded or confined areas. This site dumper is 13 feet (3.95 metres) long and 6 feet 1 inch (4.41 metres) wide. The Power Swivel technology features forward and swivel tipping mechanisms, allowing the load to rotate 90 degrees on either side before being tipped. This reduces the need to move equipment. The Mecalac range of Power Swivel site dumpers features payload options from 1 to 10 tons. The TA3SH’s payload capacity is 6,613 pounds (3,000 kg), making it ideal for industries such as concrete, landscaping and urban construction. All Power Swivel site dumpers feature a heavy-duty locking device. This keeps the skip facing forward while on the move.
STANLEY INFRASTRUCTURE
TWO NEW PRODUCT LINES FOR DEMOLITION The LaBounty Multi-Jaw Demolition Tool (MRX) provides maximum productivity with minimal maintenance. Designed for efficient downsizing and equipped with 360-degree rotation, the MRX is designed for both primary and secondary demolition and offsite concrete processing. The MRX has a short centre of gravity for optimal control and maneuverability and features an interchangeable jaw with options for a concrete pulverizer, concrete cracker, or shear. It also features an open lower jaw, which improves penetration and rapidly downsizes material; it has a wide jaw for ultimate efficiency; dual rotation motors with superior holding power and durability; and replaceable wear areas. LaBounty also introduced the Mobile Rotation Pulverizer (MRP). The MRP is similar in design to the MRX but has a dedicated concrete pulverizer jaw. At a lower weight and lower price point, LaBounty says that the MRP is a good option for users who are seeking increased maneuverability and reliability.
CASE
CANOPY OPTION FOR COMPACT WHEEL LOADERS
A new open canopy option is available for Case F Series compact wheel loaders. Case says that this option is ideal for rental businesses, agriculture, supply yards, warehouses and other applications where open-cab units are preferred/acceptable. This rugged four-post ROPS/FOPS-compliant canopy option offers excellent visibility to all sides of the machine and includes the same new upgraded electro-hydraulic controls as the enclosed-cab configuration. Case F Series compact wheel loaders feature a maintenance-free Tier 4 Final engine solution and boast a compact frame and articulating rear axle for stable lifting strength of more than 8,300 pounds at full height. They offer multiple couplers and auxiliary hydraulic options; Z-bar linkage is standard and XT linkage is optional. Select models also feature high-speed axles that provide travel speeds up to 20.6 mph (33.1 kph). 10
