Skid-steer Loaders
Mini-skid
steer
The ultra-compact SK350 mini-skid steer from Ditch Witch features a 20-hp Kohler
engine and an 11-gpm dual hydrostatic ground drive that gives it the
same capabilities of larger machines. Its 7.5-gallon fuel tank provides
up to 5 hours of operation so the operator can finish most jobs without
refueling. Features include simple, easy-to-use, color-coded controls
and a quick-disconnect manifold so attachments can be changed without
shutting off the machine.

Skid-steer
loader range
The JCB Robot range of
skid-steer loaders are designed with a single loader arm and left side
entry for safe, easy access to the operator’s compartment. The 190
model has a rated operating capacity of 1,985 pounds, 80 gross hp and a
maximum operating weight of 7,717 pounds. An industry-approved
quick-hitch is standard for easy utilization of attachments.
Additionally, standard-flow and high-flow auxiliary options further
expand the attachment options.

Skid-steer
loader series
The new Caterpillar B2
Series of skid-steer loaders and multi-terrain loaders feature an
improved operator station, an advanced hydraulic system and a wide range
of standard features and options designed to meet a variety of
production and comfort requirements in the compact machines. All B2
Series machines have ergonomic operator stations that feature
easy-to-use pilot-operated joystick controls for reduced operator
fatigue and increased productivity. High-performance power trains
provide high engine horsepower and torque, allowing part-throttle
operation for lower sound levels and fuel consumption.

Pumps
Compressor
pump
Jenny Products introduces
modifications to the design of its K pump. The single-stage compressor
pump features new easy-access unloader pins, which reduce downtime. A
new patent-pending crankcase breather system in the K Pump features a
replaceable filter, allowing for the assembly to be cleaned rather than
completely replaced. A new airfoil blade design on the wheel improves
airflow across the pump for efficient cooling.

Submersible
water pump
The CP 0010 submersible water pump from Chicago Pneumatic
Construction Tools is designed for removing water from trenches,
ditches, manholes and excavation sites. The 2-inch CP 0010 is a
direct-driven, single-stage centrifugal pump that discharges between 125
and 250 gpm and has a lifting head of up to 90 feet. The pump can be
completely submerged and requires 100 cfm of air for operation. The unit
weighs 33 pounds and has a diameter of 9 inches.

Compaction Equipment
Single-drum
vibratory rollers
Bomag has redesigned
its 47-inch single-drum vibratory rollers and given them more standard
features popular in the rental industry and among cost-conscious
contractors. The series consists of two models — the BW124DH-40 smooth
drum roller and the BW124PDH-40 padfoot roller. The compact design and
an optional leveling blade of the BW124-40 series adds versatility to
the series. The BW124-40 series is also designed to be easy to service
and maintain. The vertically opening hood provides easy access to the
engine and all components, and locks to prevent damage and vandalism.
Hydraulic hoses are also protected. Recessed drum frame bolts permit
operation near obstacles, and the dual-drum scrapers keep the drums
clear of dirt and debris. The vibratory drum mechanism and
spring-applied hydraulically released brakes are virtually maintenance
free as well, the company says.

Rammer
The MTX60 rammer from Multiquip is powered by a Honda GX
100 gas engine and offers up to 695 blows per minute. The rammer also
features an anti-vibration handle system, a built-in
hourmeter/tachometer and a new cyclone air filtration system. The MTX60
comes equipped with a diagram carburetor for precise fuel measuring and
a new recoil guard prevents recoil from impact damage.

Lawn & Garden Equipment
Stump
cutter
The Rayco Manufacturing Super
RG 50 stump cutter is 35 inches wide and features a quiet 4-cylinder
Deutz diesel engine with 66 hp and 50 percent more torque than the
standard RG 50. Full-time four-wheel drive makes getting to stumps
easier, and turf-friendly rubber tires provide optimum performance in a
wide variety of job conditions.

Rotation
tillers
The all-new Reverse Rotation Tillers with counter-rotating tines
from Woods Equipment Co. are
designed to dig deeper and faster by pulling the tiller into the ground
for applications with tough compacted soil. By eliminating the tendency
to “walk” over hard ground, typical with forward-rotation tillers,
the Reverse Rotation Tiller is designed to dig in to break and turn
ground into rich, workable soil. The result is deeper and fluffier
seedbeds than standard forward-rotation tillers, the company says. The
tillers are equipped with a PTO slip clutch that protects their
gearboxes and drive systems from costly repairs, should tines grab tough
roots or rocks.

Seeder/Dethatcher
The SourceOne TurfSavr is
designed to cut and seed in a single pass. It also doubles as a
dethatcher with an optional de-thatching flail reel and removal of the
seed box. The heat-treated carbon steel knives are tightly spaced to
improve seed germination. There are multiple knife height settings for
various turf conditions. Knives fully retract for transport and storage.
TurfSavr is self-propelled with three forward operating speeds, plus
reverse and neutral.

Atlas
Copco Breaks Ground in Mexico
Constructora Villa de Aguayo is using Atlas Copco Construction Tools
to rebuild the old Plaza Isauro Alfaro Otero in Ciudad Madero,
Tamaulipas, Mexico. This is where an underground shopping center with
two car park levels and four movie rooms as well as an open-air theater
above ground will be built in appropriate attractive surroundings.
A foundation pit (262.5 feet by 262.5 feet and 46 feet deep) was
excavated. First of all some 52,493.4 cubic feet of earth were
conventionally removed by means of excavators. Hydraulic breakers helped
to crush 246,063 cubic feet of sandstone with a compressive strength of
93.7 tons per square foot. For this particular job the company rented an
Atlas Copco HB 3000 from Madisa Rental, Tampico, together with an HB
2500. Both units belong to the heavy series of hydraulic breakers and
were attached to type CAT 330 carrier units.
“The HB 3000 manages about 114.8 cubic feet per hour, the HB 2500 some
72.2 cubic feet per hour,” said Javier Argaez, site manager of
Constructora Villa de Aguayo. “We are extremely satisfied with the
performance of these hydraulic breakers.”
“Our Caterpillar excavator and the Atlas Copco hydraulic breakers are
a perfect match,” says Armando Cueto, branch manager of Madisa
Tampico. “Atlas Copco Mexicana is giving us the assistance we need.”
The whole project will be completed in December 2008. More than 85,301.8
square feet on four different levels will then have a completely new
look. More than 300 vehicles can be parked on the two underground
parking levels. One shopping level and the open-air theater above ground
will then be completed.
