VIBRATORY ROLLERS

CASE Construction Equipment

Single-drum vibratory rollers

The SV215E and SV217E single-drum vibratory rollers are built for fast and consistent soil compaction on varying lift depths and material types. This is achieved with high centrifugal forces plus standard dual amplitude and dual frequency capabilities that allow the operator to dial in compaction performance to each lift. Both rollers operate at 154 hp and weigh in at 33,420 and 36,500 pounds, respectively, with centrifugal forces up to 73,063 and 74,861 pounds. Each model is also compatible with ACEforce intelligent compaction technology to further ensure compaction quality, documentation, and productivity.

CASE E Series compactors feature a low centre of gravity, as well as an axle-free design that provides constant power to the wheels and drum with an electronic self-adjusting torque control system. This is further assisted by automatic traction control with HX drive propulsion system, which is optional on smooth drums and standard on padfoot rollers. This creates excellent stability and performance on grades up to 67 percent.

Compaction performance is further enhanced with an oscillating articulated roller joint that maintains consistent drum-toground contact, and an updated drum design that reduces drift and maintains constant compaction throughout each rotation.

Boom lift

JCB

Articulated boom lift

The JCB AJ48D articulated boom, part of JCB’s mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) range, is powered by a Tier 4 Final JCB by Kohler diesel engine. It has a load capacity up to 551 pounds, enough for two occupants and tools, and 48 feet 4 inches of lift height. A multi-coloured base display is a unique feature designed by JCB, providing machine feedback, including platform load and diagnostics, for outstanding safety and efficiency. Both base and platform controls offer a user-friendly layout with function speed control, for operator ease-of-use and stable operation. The AJ48D complies with the latest ANSI and CSA legislation ensuring the highest quality standards. The AJ48D is used in a variety of material handling applications across global markets.

Mulcher

Caterpillar Mulcher

The new Cat D1 Mulcher is specially designed to optimize performance when clearing a mix of small- to medium-diameter materials. Design-matched with the rugged Cat HM518 Mulcher, the D1 Mulcher clears a 188.2 cm (72 inches) wide strip on each pass. It is powered by the 77.6-kW (104-hp) Cat C3.6 diesel engine. The machine’s lower sloping hood line improves visibility to the mulching head, allowing the operator to better assess the job site from the cab. Bolt-on wear plates deliver long wear life and are quickly replaced. Drum speed range is 2,150 to 2,450 rpm, and the drum’s 38 fixed teeth feature a single-bolt carbide tooth retention design for simple replacement. Its closed-loop hydraulic circuit includes load-sensing hydraulics. The HM518 Mulcher has a 78.7-cm (31-inch) maximum lift height, 36.8-cm (14.5-inch) maximum tilt and 25-degree maximum angle to either side. Undercarriage options are conventional (XL) or low-ground-pressure (LGP).

Auger alignment system

Digga

LED auger alignment system

Digga’s HALO is an LED light alignment system built into the hood of the auger. A band of green LED lights indicate when the auger is in a plumb position, while a sequence of red and green lights guides the operator back to plumb when the unit goes out of alignment. Incorporating an alignment system directly into the hood eliminates the need for an in-cab display screen. The HALO can be powered by either a cable to the cab to draw power from the cigarette lighter, or by using a battery with no cables. Operators can start drilling plumb within minutes. HALO utilizes a microprocessor and six sensors to provide accurate readings to +/- 0.25 degrees, even under heavy vibration, and eliminates the need for a spotter with a spirit level.

Site dumper

Wacker Neuson

Wheeled site dumper

Wacker Neuson’s newest dumper is designed to move bulk materials in tight spaces as well as across rough terrain. The 3-ton-payload model DW30 offers a modern, compact design that delivers high performance, comfort, and safety for the operator. The 45.3-hp Stage V Perkins engine produces the power and speed needed for efficient cycle times. The hydrostatic all-wheel drive is easy to maneuver without the need to change gears and a single joystick control for all the machine’s functions is conveniently located and simple to use. It can travel up to 15.5 miles per hour and the 180-degree swivel skip enables the load to be precisely placed. The DW30 is available in ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) and cab versions with construction or turf tires. The ROPS is designed to quickly and easily be folded down for transportation and low clearance situations.
