Earth-Moving
Dumper
The PS6-AWS dumper from Terex
features a unique chassis that allows the body of the bed to rotate 90
degrees on either side. The rotating design enables the operator to
unload from the side while keeping the chassis straight. Using a power
shuttle 4-speed transmission with four speeds forward and four speeds
reverse, the dumper has a travel speed of 17 mph. It offers a turning
circle of 25 feet and a payload capacity of 13,300 pounds. The
4-cylinder Perkins 1100 Series diesel engine is rated at 80 hp.

Bucket
McLaren Industries'
Dig-&-Grab heavy-duty digging bucket with grapple attachment is designed
for use with skid-steer and track loaders. The attachment combines the
loading and leveling functions of a standard bucket with the grabbing
abilities of a grapple. The Dig-&-Grab can transport brush, woodchips,
straw, logs, rocks and demolition debris. Because the bucket features a
closed-bottom design, it can be used to carry finer materials including
dirt and compost. A cylinder opens the four heavy-duty grapple arms up
to 35 inches wide. The bucket is 20 inches deep and is available in 66-,
72- and 78-inch widths.

Lifting
Outriggers
The new SuperLink outriggers from Elliott Equipment were designed
to meet customers' needs for a set of A frame outriggers that could be
extended on one side and dropped vertically on the other, allowing users
to work in confined spaces. The outriggers allow the user to get full
penetration on the extended side and the non-extended side. Operators
are locked out from rotating to the non-extended side by a proximity
switch. This allows users to work in areas as narrow as 15 feet wide and
still get full penetration from a set of A outriggers.

Telehandler
Genie's GTH-844 high-reach
rough-terrain telehandler has a maximum lift capacity of 8,000 pounds
and a maximum lift height of 44 feet. A three-speed forward and reverse
powershift transmission increases operator productivity. The machine
features power-assisted steering, fully hydraulic proportional boom
controls and a multi-function joystick controller. The GTH-844 also
features a 99-hp John Deere turbocharged diesel engine and a fully
enclosed cab.

For Contractors
Compressor
GrimmerSchmidt's 185E
MonoBlock compressor features electronic fuel injection, timing and
ignition, and is designed to start in cold weather without using
starting aids, down to negative 20 degrees. Weighing in at 1,500 pounds
without options, the 185E features a high visibility safety yellow,
no-rust plastic hood. Other features include a combination ball/pintle
hitch, a separate lockable tool storage area and stop tail and turn
lights.

Power cutter
The Partner K750 power
cutter features an improved three-stage active air filtration system
that filters fine dust and grit. The dual charge technology is designed
to reduce emissions by up to 70 percent. The air intake system can be
removed from the cutter as an integrated module, which is especially
important to users who service tools in the field. A newly designed 5-hp
engine is mounted at an angle on the saw frame. The slanted
configuration permits a more concentrated fuel mixture, which improves
lubrication of the bearings and cylinder barrel.
David Brimmel, light equipment manager for Leander, Texas-based JC
Evans Construction Co., says design features on the saws make them
easier to use and maintain. "They are reliable and affordable, so we
plan to keep on using them," he says. "From the procurement side, we get
a good ROI."

Pumps
Magnum's new
self-priming trash pumps are available in 4- and 6-inch models, and
handle up to 3-inch diameter solids. The pumps have flow capacities up
to 1,550 gpm and up to 145 feet total dynamic head. The stainless-steel
drive shaft ensures the life of the pump against rust invasion along
with removable steel plates with stainless hardware that are externally
adjustable. Diesel-powered John Deere engines power the new self-priming
pump models.

Crane Overcomes Jobsite Challenges
A Potain
Igo MA21 self-erecting crane has proven instrumental in overcoming
jobsite challenges during the renovation of a high school in Elkton, Md.
Masonry subcontractor Joseph Rizzo & Sons, New Castle, Del., had
originally anticipated a straight-forward plan to build a cement block
addition to the school. However, the existing structure blocked access
to two of the addition's walls limiting the contractor's ability to
deliver bundles of cement block to workers. In addition, the general
contractor would not allow any type of equipment onto the addition's
cement slab foundation. This ruled out the option of using rough-terrain
forklifts or other material-handling equipment to deliver the bricks.
With nearly 63 feet of height under hook and an 85-foot radius, the Igo
MA21 provided the necessary reach to access the entire jobsite. With its
small footprint, the self-erector did not take up too much space on the
crowded site.
According to Kevin O'Connell, self-erecting crane product manager for
local Potain dealer Shawmut Equipment, there are many benefits that made
this crane a perfect fit for the job.
"School was still in session during construction of the addition, so the
crane's electric drives allowed for quiet operation," he says. Because
the Igo MA21 can be operated with 220-volt, single-phase power, the
contractor tapped into an existing power source on the site, eliminating
the need and expense for a three-phase generator. The Igo MA21 only took
about an hour and a half to position, erect, and complete its required
checkouts.
The radio control feature of the Igo MA21 was also beneficial on the job
-- particularly for delivering brick bundles to masons working on
scaffolding. The radio control allowed the crane operator to stay with
the load the entire time to position the bricks exactly where they
needed to be.
"Even with picks that traditionally would have been blind with a
hydraulic crane, the operator was able to reposition himself and stay
with the load at all times," O'Connell says.
