Take a look through the next couple of pages for the latest equipment available. You'll find a solid sampling of both new machines and models that have been recently revamped by the manufacturers.

MBW GP3550 Vibratory Plate
The GP3550 vibratory plate features the same low-maintenance exciter unit found in its predecessor, the GP3000, yet provides enhanced travel speed of 110 fpm, a 20% increase. Amplitude increases by 10%. Operating weight is 15 lbs. less despite the use of a heavier vibrating base assembly of stress-relieved solid steel. The engine deck features a full roll cage as standard with provisions for an optional water tank. The new base plate is self-cleaning with an open-sided plate design. Hand/arm vibration is reduced by roughly 70%.

PowerTech 1000 Series Bucket
The 1000 Series PicBucket percussion bucket is suited for mini- and compact excavators in the 3.5- to 7.5-tonne weight class. The multifunctional bucket, which combines the power of a hydraulic hammer with the maneuverability of a conventional bucket, is available in a 12-in. width and its geometry can take loads of .12 cu. yds. The impact energy of the hydraulic cell is 200 ft.-lbs. and generates a percussion frequency of 1,650 bpm. Hydraulic flow is only 4 to 9 gpm, making it suitable for small carriers.

Ground Heaters Arctic Bear Cub Heaters
The Cub 200, Cub 400 and Cub 700 indirect-fired heaters boast 85% heater efficiency. The 168-lb. Cub 200 has a maximum heat output of 200,000 BTU/hour at 1,475-cfm air flow. It is built with a 12-in. air outlet diameter. The Cub 400 delivers up to 400,000 BTU/hour at 5,000 cfm with a 20-in. standard air outlet diameter. The Cub 700 produces up to 700,000 BTU/hour at an 8,240-cfm rate with a 27-in. standard air outlet diameter. The two larger models can run on diesel, natural gas or propane.

Hirschmann Programmable Switching Amplifier
The PSA 3/1 overload protection and weighing system can be used in various applications, including EOT cranes, bridge cranes and straddle cranes. Its flexible design incorporates all Hirschmann/PAT standard sensors. A range of operator interfaces includes large numeric displays and operator consoles to meet application requirements. The unit can be programmed to monitor all critical load conditions. All system setup and programming is done via the PC-based Configuration Manager.
