HAULERS
Truck upgrades
It is powere by a Cat C7.1Tier 4 Final
emissions-compliant enginewith a power
output of 186 kW.
The machine also features a rear-view
camera and a cab designed with a roll-
over protective structure (ROPS).
Meanwhile scraper maker K-Tec
Earthmovers said customer demand had
driven its latest releaseof a fully integrated
scraper system, which it claimed can double the amount of
material hauledwith the same construction power unit.
Its 1233ADT scraper adds a hitching system on its rear tail, to
accommodate the attachment of a further scraper.
The company added that an operator is able to use responsive
joystick control functionality inside the ADT to first load the
lead scraper, and then fully load the rear scraper.
A digital display screen is also included in the cab for visual
operating details, tracking load count productivity.
The company said its ADT train scrapers result in a significant
advantage in earthmoving, offering the ability to travel at more
than 30mph (48 km/hour) down haul roads, which improves
cycle times.
As self-loading andunloading haulers, scrapers canbe used for
precision grading and dumping; be push-loaded for enhanced
loading time; or even be top-loaded via excavator for heaped
hauling.
RigidHauler deal
Hitachi Construction Machinery is one of a number of
manufacturers offering rigidhaulers as part of its range.
It has suppliedBaltic energy companyEesti Energiawith11of
its EH1100-5models for use on a shale extraction operation at
theNarva quarry, near theRussian border.
Hitachi has supplied the haulers from its factor inCanada. It
had to prove its equipment could carry a nominal payload of
63.5 tonnes as part of the deal inEstonia.
The project included a calculation of the capital cost of the
machine and a guaranteed buy-back after a number of years.
At the opposite end of the earthmoving spectrum, Terex has
unveiled its Stage IIIB/Tier 4Final-compliant range of nine and
ten-tonne site dumpers.
Featuring 55kW JCB EcoMAX turbo-charged diesel engines,
the newTA9 andTA10models are said to offer users increased
fuel efficiencywithout anyexhaust after-treatment requirements.
The units are said to emit among the lowest emissions for
comparable payloads, as well as delivering a lower cost of
operation and efficient cycle times.
Among their key features are Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
dashboards, complete with hour meter, coolant temperature
gauge and fuel level readout.
Early warning alerts help to prevent costly downtime and
enhance operator safety. In addition, a user readout panel
provides real-time machine information, while Engine Control
Unit (ECU) technology manages performance data to improve
reliability.
