It appears the German show Galileo may be the ones behind the destroy a car with a leibherr’s bucket full of water. The video on the next page for all who want to see them test an even smaller excavator with poor results.
Since two machines went to Australia I wonder if they will be using the machine to clean their trucks too?
Responding to contemporary economic pressures, Gradall Industries, Inc., has designed greater operational savings as well as features that hold down the purchase price for its new Gradall XL 4100 III excavator. Now more than ever, this new Gradall excavator’s versatility delivers greater value with their ability to perform many jobs that used to require many different machines
The Gradall XL 4100 III can be driven to job sites and back to the equipment yard without the cost for a truck and lowboy trailer. A single, fuel-efficient Detroit Diesel Mercedes engine provides an extra edge in horsepower while operating both the over-the-highway carrier and the upperstructure and boom.
Caterpillar is moving rapidly forward with the new large mining trucks showcased at MINExpo last year and representing the company’s largest investment ever in new mining technology. The Cat® 793F and 797F mechanical drive trucks and the 795F AC electric drive truck are all achieving milestones.
The 793F and the 797F have accumulated more than 75,000 hours of field testing and have proven their performance capabilities and their durability. The new Cat C175 engine that powers them has racked up 130,000 hours of field testing in mining trucks and more than 120,000 hours in power systems. Because of the success of these field-follow programs, the 793F is targeted to go into full production within a few months and the 797F late this year.
The 268-hp (200 kW) JT100 is an incredibly powerful machine, but it’s not power that makes it so productive—it’s how the power is distributed. The JT100 is designed to deliver power where it’s needed to complete the bore in the most efficient manner, without compromising power to other machine functions. There’s plenty of power for an optional onboard crane and onboard anchor system, too, which eliminate the need for additional equipment for pipeloading, anchoring, and other tasks, and give the JT100 a unique ability: the power to reduce the size of the jobsite.
Equipped with a 268-hp (200 kW) engine, the JT100 is designed so that rotation, thrust, and drilling fluid flow can operate simultaneously at full power, which leads to faster job completion. With 100,000 lb (445 kN) of pullback and 12,000 ft·lb (16 270 N·m) of torque, the JT100 is a directional drill built for both long-range bores, such as river crossings, and installations of large-diameter pipe.
We can’t say we found it first but this is by far a very interesting way to take advantage of the power of a big bucket…. Fill with 54.90 yd³ @ 3,000 lb/yd³ of water…rinse spin and repeat… more here…
MORTON, Jun 30, 2009 (Journal Star - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) — Along with a range of heavy-duty machines, Caterpillar Inc. also has been busy rolling out a line of simulators that allow one to experience what it’s like to operate a motor grader or excavator.
The Morton company that’s handling the building, marketing and distribution of these simulators is Simformotion, a division of CSE Software.
Simformotion entered into an agreement in 2008 with Caterpillar regarding the handling of simulators, but the two companies are hardly strangers. CSE has worked on Caterpillar software since 1993, said CSE President Ken Pflederer.
Amazing footage from a crane collapse today in New Dehli India. The First crane has catastrophic structural failure and then the 2nd and third fall in. Very troubling.
For many operators of equipment out there this is a mix of way too much coffee, redbull, and powerful computing. There is around 15 tonnes of steel, 200 bar of hydraulic pressure and a control system written in Python. Oh, and a Wiimote.
Bobcat Company introduces the E80 excavator, a machine with a completely new design that sets a high standard by increasing service intervals, operator comfort and durability. Everything about the E80 excavator, part of the M-Series excavators, has been created to keep operators working longer, including the elimination of daily service points; a spacious cab and a top-of-the-line seat to keep operators working comfortably; and polymer shims to decrease wear on the lateral pins.
