INTRODUCTIONS & UPDATES
EXCAVATOR
Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas
Mid-size excavator delivers precise control
Hyundai’s new mid-size HX160AL excavator is equipped with a Stage-V compliant Cummins-B4.5 diesel engine which produces 152 net horsepower. The all-new emissions system is equipped with a diesel particulate filter that incorporates passive regeneration. This improves power by 13 percent and peak torque by 27 percent over the previous model. According to Hyundai, the reduction in complexity also improves reliability and provides up to 11 percent in fuel savings.
The newly integrated Intelligent Power Control mode and improved RCV levers enable finer and more precise control and reduce operator fatigue. A-Series excavators are now equipped with lift mode to provide precise control when needed by simultaneously controlling power/speed and maintaining it throughout the lift cycle. The all-new auto safety lock prevents unintended hydraulic operation which improves safety for the operator and those working around the machine.
SECONDARY SCALPING SCREEN
Powerscreen
Powerscreen’s Titan range of secondary scalping screens provide a cost-effective solution in high-volume, smaller sized, or recycling applications. The Titan 600, 1300 and 2300 are a simplification of Powerscreen’s Warrior range, using key features and tailoring them to a different section of the market at a more affordable price point.
The Titan 2300 is a completely new machine to Powerscreen in both concept and design, encompassing the largest belt feeder in any of the Powerscreen range at 1,500 mm (60 inches), with twin gear box drive and a combination of impact bars and impact rollers for optimum power usage. It also has the steepest hopper ever designed by Powerscreen to enable ease of emptying without bridging. A low-speed feeder is fitted as standard, with a medium-speed option for low density material which, while sacrificing some torque, can run at up to 50 percent faster than standard. Hybrid Dual Power is available, enabling the 2300 to be powered using standard diesel or connected to an external electricity supply.
BACKHOE LOADER
SANY America
Backhoe loader provides multi-purpose performance
SANY America’s SLB95 backhoe loader offers multi-purpose performance, greater power and versatility. The SLB95 has a four-wheel-drive powershift transmission allowing for smooth gear shifting with limited slip differential for traction. Load-sensing hydraulics with pilot controls give operators multi-function performance and enhanced feedback along with ISO/SAE pattern change for preference.
A float function in the loader allows operators to back grade and finish surfaces quickly. Return-to-dig provides faster cycle times, while flip-over pads provide the option of work on dirt or finished surfaces and cylinder guards protect the outrigger hydraulics. This machine also includes an auxiliary circuit for breakers and other attachments.
COUPLER
Steelwrist
Fully automatic quick couplers for demolition
Steelwrist has introduced the biggest SQ coupler model to date – the SQ90. SQ couplers offer increased safety and the ability to change hydraulic powered work tools in seconds without leaving the cab. The addition of the SQ90 coupler meets the demands of the demolition industry where many fast work tool changes are common.
The SQ90 follows the global Open-S industry standard, making it easier for machine operators and contractors to choose quick couplers, tiltrotators and work tools from different manufacturers and be confident that they function together.
With Steelwrist’s entrance into the demolition segment, the patented front pin lock technology has been upgraded to a second generation in order to support heavy demolition work tools.
Toro
Compact utility loader increases reach and lift
The new Toro Dingo TX 1300 is ideal for landscape, hardscape and tree care jobs. It features Toro’s exclusive INTELLISCOPE loader arm with SmartLoad technology, giving the operator an additional 26 inches of reach. A hinge-pin height of 109 inches allows for loads to be lifted up and over the side of a dumpster or truck.
Toro has also integrated the hydraulics and loader arm functions into one thumb-operated controller for easier, more accommodating operation. The machine features a pressure-relieving quick coupler system, which makes connecting attachments easier, and it has a larger operator platform for increased operator comfort. All of these features are combined into a compact footprint that’s maneuverable in tight spaces.
