The Fintec 1107 track-mounted primary jaw crusher is built for tough quarry duty, yet is fully transportable on a low-boy trailer, making it ideal for producers with multiple aggregate sites. Track-mounted plants are becoming more popular in aggregate applications because their mobility allows the crushing and screening system to follow the quarry face, reducing trucking costs.

The Fintec 1107 features a heavy-duty 44- x 28-foot Sandvik jaw crusher. This unit joins the Fintec equipment line including the Fintec 1080 cone crusher, and the Fintec 542, Fintec 570 and Fintec 640 track-mounted screening plants. The Fintec 1107 utilizes a Sandvik single-toggle, hydraulic wedge-adjust jaw crusher with a symmetrical crushing chamber provided by an equal nominal and effective feed opening. A deflector plate at the top of the moving jaw allows all of the effective feed opening to be active, crushing the material from the very top of the chamber. An optimized nip angle ensures that material progresses smoothly down the crushing chamber for high reduction, productivity and even utilization of the jaw plates.

Allmand Bros.' TLB-6235 compact tractor backhoe handles small to medium earthmoving tasks. The design features oversized pins with composite bearings and urethane lip seals in all working joints to reduce friction and extend service intervals by eliminating metal-to-metal contact, retaining grease and keeping out debris.

The four-wheel-drive system is operated through a hydrostatic transmission. The TLB-6235 houses a 65-hp, servo-controlled hydrostatic transmission that provides positive neutral and infinite control.

The machine also features 6,000-pound bucket digging force; a 9-foot, 10-inch digging depth; dual-cylinder, 180-degree hydraulic cushioned swing that allows precise work in tight areas; and extended-reach loader. Load-sensing steering system requires hydraulic flow only when the operator turns the steering wheel. High-capacity oil cooler extends the life of hydraulic components.

Hitachi has introduced two ZXLink machine-monitoring systems to control its fleet operations. The option levels Advanced and Ultimate add sophisticated capabilities. These operating levels are available for field or factory installation on any Zaxis Dash-3 excavator. The original ZXLink Standard level automatically collects, transmits and manages machine data. The data can be viewed at a single secure Web site regardless of make or model, or which dealer sold the system. Customers can then use the data to check machine operation times, track machine locations, and set restrictions on when machines are allowed to run. The Standard level works on any construction machine with a 12-volt or 24-volt charging system, regardless of make.

The ZXLink Advanced provides all the Standard level features plus a percentage breakdown of machine idling versus working hours. To immediately inform maintenance managers of impending machine problems, Advanced also provides dashboard alerts such as low-fuel warnings via Internet, cell phone or pager.

ZXLink Ultimate provides detailed information needed to extend the economic life of equipment. Machine pressures, temperatures and speeds are captured and displayed or can be downloaded onto a spreadsheet for further analysis.

Advanced and Ultimate levels can be used on all Zaxis Dash-3 excavator models ZX160LC-3 and higher. ZXLink Ultimate systems come standard on the Zaxis 450, 650 and 850 Dash-3 models, with three years of service included in the price of the machine.

The HEM550 drill from TEI Rock Drills features the new TE550 drifter. This design is more durable than the dry firing that is destructive to most hammers. It allows for an oil “cushion” to slow the piston when the shank is pulled forward. Completely radio- or cable-controlled, this drill allows the operator to enjoy the comfort of the excavator cabin. Hole sizes for the HEM550 are 2½ to 3½ inches.

Four new Caterpillar C-Series skid-steer loaders — 246C, 256C, 262C, 272C — feature electro-hydraulic joystick control of the hydrostatic drive system and electronic torque management for smooth operation and productivity. Other options include a sealed and pressurized cab, an air suspension seat, and High Flow XPS hydraulics that allow customers to customize the machine to the job. In addition, the skid steers offer greater lift and tilt forces than equivalent B-Series models.

The vertical-lift 272C is the largest capacity skid-steer loader available from Caterpillar. Its operating capacity is rated for 3,250 pounds. The 262C has an operating capacity of 2,700 pounds and also features vertical lift. The 246C and 256C are radial-lift machines with rated operating capacities of 2,150 and 2,350 pounds, respectively.

High Flow XPS hydraulic system enables customers to equip any size C-Series machine for use with work tools requiring high flow and pressure, such as cold planers. The system uses a load-sensing, variable displacement pump to deliver up to 33 gpm and 4,061 psi. The electronic torque management system maximizes power to the ground and prevents the engine from stalling in tough digging and dozing applications. The system allows for part throttle operation, which provides smooth machine operation and reduces fuel consumption.

The C-Series cab is sealed and pressurized. Ventilation air is filtered to keep dust out and clean air in. The uncluttered floor provides more leg room. Machines are designed for easy entry and exit with tilt cylinders located under the lift arms. Seat-mounted, independently adjustable joystick controls allow a wide range of positions. A wide, curved-glass cab opening and large frameless door are designed for high forward visibility.
