Heavy Equipment Guide November/December 2008 / 3
Recognizing leadership
The construction equipment industry has a Hall
of Fame whose mission is to recognize, celebrate
and preserve the history of outstanding people
in the construction equipment industry whose
inventions, ideas, leadership and courage have
made supreme contributions to the industry and
to our quality of life.
It was originally created in 1993, and after a
period of inactivity, the Association of Equip-
ment Manufacturers (AEM) re-introduced it this year as the AEM
Hall of Fame with ve new inductees. Candidates were judged by an
independent panel of industry experts and supporters on how well they
exemplied ve guiding principles: innovation, industry contributions,
leadership, corporate citizenship/social responsibility and sustainability.
Our inductees this year represent some of the most inuential
minds in the history of construction and equipment manufacturing,
AEM President Dennis Slater said at the induction ceremony.
This issue, I will present two of these people to you and in an up-
coming issue, I will cover the other three.
Sir Anthony Bamford
Before he became chairman of JCB in 1975,
Sir Anthony Bamford established JCB SA, the
companys French subsidiary in Paris, which has
become the model for JCBs worldwide devel-
opment. Under his leadership, the company has
grown from a regional equipment manufacturer to
one with 300 products and manufacturing plants
on four continents selling to over 150 nations.
JCB has won more than 50 awards for exports, marketing, design, tech-
nology and for its care for the environment, among them 23 Queens
Awards for Technological and Export achievement. He has also over-
seen efforts to promote industry workforce development. One is a
company educational centre now being developed to educate students
in engineering, manufacturing processes and international business.
LeRoy G. Hagenbuch
LeRoy G. Hagenbuch, P.E. is co-Founder
and president of the engineering rm Philippi-
Hagenbuch, Inc. His patent for the rst commer-
cially available tailgate designed for off-highway
haul trucks was only the beginning. He is now
credited with 89 patents, 51 in the United States
and 38 in other countries. The most recent patent
renes rear-ejection technology, allowing opera-
tors to push the load from the back of a haul truck instead of raising the
bed. To advance the process of mine reclamation, he developed many
products to efciently haul overburden and other materials. Hagenbuch
has made outreach and industry progress a mainstay of his career. He
has written white papers on vital industry topics, spoken at conferences
and trade shows worldwide, and been active with many associations on
behalf of the industry. His operating philosophy has been to extend the
safety focus beyond training and awareness; each Philippi-Hagenbuch
engineer is challenged on the safety of their product designs. In ad-
dition, each staff and production meeting at the company starts with a
discussion of a critical safety topic.
Best wishes for 2009.

Reaches difcult spots
The low-prole, telescoping-boom action
of the new Gradall XL 4100 III excavator
allows the unit to work where conventional
knuckle booms cannot, under bridges and
tree limbs or in tunnels. A live boom exten-
sion gives the ability to reach over obstacles
and into ditches.
The carrier is available in two versions:
a 6 x 4 model which weighs approximately
47,500 pounds (21,545 kg); and a 6 x 6
model that weighs approximately 49,420
pounds (22,416 kg). The operator can also
select the Gradall, Deere or SAE joystick
pattern.
Rated bucket force is 24,900 pounds
(111 kN) while the telescoping boom crowd
force is 24,500 pounds (109 kN). Unlike
conventional excavators, the telescoping
boom forces are constant through the en-
tire dig cycle. The versatile boom delivers
a maximum reach of 30 feet, 3 inches (9.22
m) at grade; a dig depth of 20 feet, 3 inches
(6.17 m); and a lift height of 22 feet, 6 inches
(6.83 m).
The excavator is suitable for grading
and nishing work, pavement removal and
demolition.

Versatile backhoe loader
The John Deere 410J backhoe loader has
the versatility to dig deep, load trucks,
Fuel-saving wheel loader
The Liebherr driveline on the L 528 and
L 550 wheel loaders, combined with
low operating weight, result in savings
of up to 25 percent in fuel consumption
compared to conventional-drive wheel
loaders.
An ultra-modern cab design allows the
operator to achieve better performance
and productivity. The displays, controls
and drivers seat are carefully coordin-
ated to form a perfect ergonomic unit.
The combination of the Liebherr
hydrostatic driveline and the unique
position of the diesel engine allows for
higher tipping loads at low operating
weight. This leads to signicantly higher
productivity with no need for unnecessary
counterweight.
The large Liebherr wheel loaders are
equipped with the 2plus2 gearbox, so
tractive force and speed are automatic-
ally adjusted to the demands of the job
without the driver having to shift.

Greater lift and stability
The 34.8-ton, 107-hp (143-kW) Volvo
ECR305CL short-swing excavator can
work in conned areas and still perform
well, and sets a new standard in the indus-
try for not only lifting capacity but also
stability. With better weight distribution
and increased swing torque, it also offers
superb swing performance when working
on slopes.
Even when not working close to obstruc-
tions, the short front/rear radius has other
uses highway work being a prime ex-
ample where the machine can safely swing
within a typical single road lane width,
minimizing disruption to trafc ow.
The new rounded cab on Volvos short
swing models is also designed to stay
within the rear swing radius.
The bucket range on t he Vol vo
ECR305CL is from 1.0 to 2.1 cubic metres
and a wide range of Volvo attachments is
available, as are quick attach options.

break surfaces, crane pipe and more.
Powerful and quick high-pressure hydraul-
ics deliver generous breakout and lift cap-
acity at both ends, along with impressive
backhoe crowd power and swing torque.
With the tool carrier version, operators
get true parallel lift throughout the lift arc,
making this 15-foot machine a master of
material-handling tasks.
Standard limited-slip, mechanical front-
wheel drive delivers 80 percent of available
power to the wheel with the best traction.
A tool-carrier version with quick coupler
boasts increased lift capability, plus set-
and-forget parallel lift, return-to-carry, and
boom height kick-out. A ride-control option
smoothes roading over rough terrain.
There are three hydraulic speeds: fast,
for up to 20-percent quicker cycle times;
medium, for normal digging; or slow, for
craning objects, working in conned spaces
or excavating around existing utilities.

Not every mix and application is the same, so your asphalt compactor should be versatile
and easy to set up to match performance to ever-changing conditions. If it isnt easy to use,
how can it be productive?
Cat

Asphalt Compactors get the work done on the breakdown pass, when the mat
temperatures are higher and conditions are optimal for compaction. They are comfortable
and simple to operate: high amplitude for aggressive compaction, low amplitude for gentle
massaging. They match high paving speeds with high frequency, and low paving speeds with
low frequency. Simple and reliable, with predictable density every time in minimal passes.
No complexity and constant tweaking, as there is using non-aggressive compaction

Utility-class excavator
The new Hitachi ZX120-3 utility-class ex-
cavator can easily be towed behind a dump
truck and is available with rubber crawler
pads and a backll blade.
Heavy-duty undercarriage
Mustangs MTL312 is the most compact
of their track loader lineup, which also
includes the MTL16, MTL20 and MTL25.
It has a dedicated track design, meaning the
unit is built as a track loader with a heavy-
duty undercarriage system versus being
built as a skid-steer loader with a bolt-on
undercarriage. The result of this exclusive
engineering is a stronger track loader.
With an operating weight of 5,952
pounds and a width of just under 58 inches,
the MTL312 gives operators the small
size they need outside the operators com-
partment, yet offers operators a spacious
and comfortable cab. A nger tip-control
joystick system promises a fatigue-free,
high-productivity day on the job.

integral to the adjustable suspension oper-
ators chair, control all grader functions.
The 10-foot sliding and tilting mold-
board with 18-inch, right- or left-side
shift, and shoulder reach of 36 inches al-
lows the operator to shift the blade in or out
of hard to reach areas.
Maneuverability of the 705 motor grader
is enhanced with 18-degree, right or left
articulation behind the cab. This gives the
705 an outside turning radius of 17.5 feet.
Grading functions are assisted with front-
axle oscillation of 20 degrees, front-wheel
lean of 15 degrees and front-wheel steering
angle of 50 degrees.

The drum has more durable interior
wear surfaces for better protection against
concrete buildup. The new interior also
provides superior wear resistance, ex-

Hydrostatic 4WD compactor
Bomag has taken innovations from their
single-drum rollers and meshed them with
proven design features from their refuse
compactors to produce a machine that is
well-suited to push, spread, and compact
soil for medium to large-scale dirt projects.
Providing power, gradeability and traction,
the BC462EB features four-wheel hydro-
static drive and a 255-hp, water-cooled,
Deutz diesel engine.
Unlike Bomags full line of single-drum
vibratory rollers, the BC462EB achieves
superior compaction through sheer weight
(51,000 pounds), the wheel design, and the
impact force of the teeth. The BC462EB is
ideal for highways, bridges, dams and other
projects where spreading and compacting
large amounts of soil is required.
It features a sealed frame design to keep
job site materials from entering the frame
or engine compartment while providing
complete protection to the drive train com-
ponents. A scraper bar system keeps the
wheels free of dirt, maintaining the highest
level of compaction performance.

Frame articulation is rated at +/- 40
degrees, while the tire oscillation is rated
at +/- 10 degrees. Powered by an 80-hp Cat
diesel engine, the Tru-Pac 915 has hydro-
static wheel-motor drive to provide inn-
itely variable control of the roller at speeds

Faster compaction
The Sakai SW652ND double-drum os-
cillating roller oscillates or vibrates on
both drums simultaneously. Each drum is
independently controlled for optimum ex-
ibility. This advanced technology machine
achieves the required compaction faster
on both thin and thick lift asphalt applica-
tions. The vibration mode is a typical Sakai
dual-amplitude, high-frequency 4,020 vpm.
Sakai high frequency permits high ground
speeds that enable the roller to reach density
quickly.
The more gentle oscillation mode offers
a new drum motion that will neither over-
compact the mat nor fracture the aggregate.
By developing a horizontal, rather than
vertical motion in the oscillatory mode,
the SW652ND can successfully vibrate
two drum configuration options. The
SD116DX smooth drum model, with an
operating weight of 23,930 pounds (10,852
kg), is ideal for compacting granular soils.
The SD116F padfoot model, designed
for compacting cohesive-type materials,
weighs 25,050 pounds (11,360 kg). Both
machines have an 84-inch (2,134 mm)

Real-time material density
Trimbles new CM310 Compaction Sensor
enables the display of real-time material
density to the earthworks compactor oper-
ator. This can increase machine productiv-
ity while providing complete, consistent
material compaction over the entire con-
struction project. Material surfaces can
be compacted faster with better in-place
densities improving the efficiency of
other earthworks operations, such as opti-
mization of haul truck times and improved
water drainage and management.
Now, the contractor can compact
sub-surface material to a target density
and number of machine passes, analyze
sub-surface grade post-compaction for
deciencies in the surface (whether certain
locations are high, low or on grade), and
catch grade control mistakes in real-time,
prior to the start of the nal road building
process.
Early detection of sub-surface material
anomalies means that soft spots and hid-
den obstructions can be excavated and
re-graded or compacted prior to the more
costly phases of the construction process.

of the pump or head supplying the AC
Two layers in one pass
Compactasphalt, developed by Dynapac,
allows the simultaneous laying of two
different layers in a single pass. Both the
upper asphalt layers the wearing and
binder courses are laid and compacted
Independent auger system
Volvos PF6160 and PF6170 wheeled
highway-class pavers have been designed
with independent auger and conveyor sys-
tems, automatic conveyor tensioning, and
a patented front-wheel suspension.
The auger system is now independent of
the conveyor system. Each of the two auger
and conveyor drives uses sonic sensors
for more precise handling of material. The
conveyor system has chains that are auto-
matically tensioned for proper performance
and less downtime. The conveyor chain
cover cleans itself, providing easier main-
tenance. Reversible augers and conveyors
are optional equipment. A hopper capacity
of 14.38 t (13.04 mt) gives each paver a
practical production rate of 820 t (744 mt)
per hour.
Each paver is powered by a 205-hp (153-
kW) Cummins Tier 3 engine. The PF6160
and PF6170 pavers have a paving speed
of 297 feet per minute (90.5 metres per
minute) and a traveling speed of 12 miles
Clean-sheet design
Vgeles next-generation asphalt pavers are
quieter, cooler and more productive. The
Vision Series is a completely new clean-
sheet design. There is a 10-foot tracked
Vision 5200-2 and wheeled Vision 5203-2,
and an 8-foot tracked Vision 5100-2 and
wheeled Vision 5103-2. Three drive ver-
sions are available on the Vision 5203-2:
rear-wheel drive, optional two-wheel
front-wheel assist, and a new optional six-
wheel drive.
The slope of the machine and hood have
been designed so the operator can see the
sides, the hopper, and the conveyors in the
back, without having to move around.
The Vision Series has eliminated ow
gates and implemented independent con-
veyor and auger drives. Each conveyor is
driven separately and independently from
the auger.

and parking lots. Both units offer a 79-inch
cutting width to remove a half lane of road
surface in one pass.
The BM 2000/50 features a 469-horse-
power engine that delivers a horsepower-
per-cutting-tooth ratio of 2.8 and maximum
working speed of 112 feet per minute
(fpm). The 590-horsepower engine on the
BM 2000/60 provides a horsepower-per-
and water. The Ultrafoam GX can achieve
consistent foaming at varying production
rates without the use of a powered mixing
device. As a result, the AC and water can
be introduced at widely different ow rates,
temperatures, and pressures.
The Ultrafoam GXs patent pending
design provides variable orices for both
AC and water and a means to keep the
two ows in intimate contact so that the
available mixing energy is used efciently.
As a result, the Ultrafoam GX maintains
the perfect ratio of AC and water at all
production rates and creates smaller, more
stable bubbles for even consistent asphalt
foaming.

main drum, RAP is injected into the outer
mixing chamber, never coming into direct
contact with the hot gas stream of the dryer,
reducing potential for increased blue smoke
emissions.
Virtually all heat produced by the burner
is utilized in the drying and mixing process.
Heat used in the superheating process is
captured in the outer mixing chamber and
utilized in the blending of mix materials.
When injected into the outer mixing
chamber, RAP is heated by virgin aggregate
that has been superheated in the inner dry-
ing chamber. This method has two benets:
excess moisture is removed from the RAP,
and the reclaimed liquid asphalt partially
coats the virgin aggregate.

signed specically for tight working condi-
tions. While Liebherr does not label it as
a rough-terrain crane, the LTC 1055-3.1
has features that make it suitable for rough
conditions. Overall length is just 27.5 feet
(8.38 m), and the width is 8.3 feet (2.54 m).
The two rear axles provide active rear-axle
steering that gives the LTC 1055-3.1 a tight
turning radius over the carrier of 6.15 m,
and 6.45 m over the telescopic boom.
Five programmed steering modes are
available: on-road steering, all-wheel steer-
ing, crab steering, steering without swerv-
ing out, and independent rear-axle steering.
Total weight of the LTC 1055-3.1 is 39.7
tons (36 mt), with equal axle-load distribu-
tion of 13.3 tons (12 mt) achieved through
the use of hydropneumatic suspension.

Virtual pivot boom design
Genie Industries has recently introduced
redesigned versions of its S-80 and S-85
telescopic booms. The signicant changes
include: xed width axles; an exclusive
virtual pivot boom assembly; faster eleva-
tion time; improved software design for
smoother, more comfortable operation;
and intuitive operator and serviceability
features. The fixed width axles on the
redesigned booms give the machines an
eight-foot two-inch total width, both on the
trailer and on the jobsite.
New to the S-80 and S-85 telescopic
booms is the virtual pivot boom design
which Genie Industries introduced in 2003
on the S-60 and S-65 booms. The primary
benet of a virtual pivot boom is its abil-
ity to keep the weight of the boom over
the chassis centre of gravity as it elevates.
To enhance operator efciency, the eleva-
tion time on the S-80 and S85, from fully
stowed to fully elevated, is decreased to
68 seconds.

Neil Hollings-
head, gl obal

Other features include a 4.7-ton (4.3-mt)
counterweight pinned to the superstructure,
a load moment indicator and anti-two block
system.
Power for the crane comes from a 160-hp
QSB 6.7-litre Tier 3 Cummins engine, and
a new load sensing hydraulic system uses
piston pumps for crane functions. There is
standard, full length, steel decking on the
crane with anti-skid treatment. An 8.5-foot
(2.6-m) wide chassis allows for easy trans-
port to the jobsite.

New digging system
The EZ Di g
System for mini-
excavators is an
i deal di ggi ng
tool for trench-
ing jobs where
soil conditions
are sticky, hard
or filled with
rocks or roots.
The unique EZ
Dig is designed
with multiple
spades, one be-
hind the other, to chisel multiple cuts with
every curl cycle. The number of spades is
determined by the machine size.
The EZ Dig guarantees operators will
dig faster in sticky soil conditions because
the spades always dump cleanly. The EZ
Dig System doubles the amount of material
moved per pass when compared to a trad-
itional bucket, allowing operators to work
quickly and efciently.
The EZ Dig cuts clean trenches as
narrow as four inches, removing only the
necessary material. With this system, an
operator can change the spade width to
match the trench width.

Bucket linkage shears
BLS 2000 and BLS 3000 bucket linkage
shears are ideal for cutting lighter structural
steel such as I beams, H beams, pipe and
rebar, where a larger shear is not required.
They feature the patented Saber Series
blade system with a 180-degree reversible
Saber Tip and lower cross-blade. Tapped
cutting blades allow the shear blades to
be easily removed. Plus with more bolt-
on components, maintenance time is
signicantly reduced. Units also have an

High reach processors
LXP 200 and LXP
400 Logix Pro-
cessors are spe-
cically designed
for hi gh-reach
applications, and
to bring third-
member versatil-
ity to excavators
in the 50,000- and
100,000-pound range, respectively.
Logix Processors allow quick and safe
changeovers between shear, pulverizer
and concrete cracker jaw sets, while also
affording a dramatic boost in power. The
shear jaws feature the same piercing tip
and blades as Genesis GXP mobile shear,
making them ideal for heavy structural
steel, including I-beams. Bolt-on wear parts
tooth beds for the pulverizer jaw and teeth
for the cracker jaw are also designed into
these new models.

Compactor and driver
The all-new ex-
treme Ho-Pacs
del i ver more
impact energy,
an er r or l es s
four-function
valve, a variety
of mount i ng
congurations,
and mainten-
ance-free, oil-splash bearing lubrication.
Because its both a compactor and a driver,
the Allied Ho-Pac permits even the small-
est contractor or municipality to have this
dual capability available. All models are
available with Allieds patented VMS
mounting system for quick changing be-
tween carriers.
The vibration produced by the Ho-Pac
is an ideal force for compacting granular
materials since vibration generates stress
waves which bring the soils air to the
surface. As a result, the particles of soil
are rearranged and moved closer to each
other, which reduces voids in the soil. Ho-
Pacs compact in densities in excess of 95
percent Proctor.
As a driver, Ho-Pacs offer a faster, less-
expensive technique for driving wood, steel
and aluminum sheeting, H and I beams,
piling, posts and sea walls. Ho-Pacs send
vibration along the length of the item be-
ing driven, breaking the skin friction that
slows driving.

New trenchers
The new Zahn series of trench-
ers from Ditch Witch consists
of three power units and set of
compatible front ends. The Zahn
R150 trencher is in the 15-hp
class and includes a Honda gas engine,
operators console, and an articulation
joint that provides maneuverability. The
power unit drives a front-end trencher that
is designed to penetrate the ground easier
and enhance overall stability. The Zahn
R230 is in the 23-hp class and Zahn R300
is in the 30-hp class. They both feature
Kohler gas engines, operators consoles,
and articulation joints that enable the front
end to perform like a dedicated unit.
The two-wheel-drive R230 and R300
power two types of front-end trenchers,
while its four-wheel-drive InterChange
counterpart accepts up to seven types of
front ends: trencher, plow, dumper, tiller,
backhoe, stump grinder, and a tool carrier
that can drive more than 40 quick-change
attachments.

HDD features AutoDrill
The new Vermeer D16x20 Series II Naviga-
tor horizontal directional drill is powered
by a 63 hp (47 kW) Kubota diesel engine,
and provides 16,000 pounds (7258 kg) of
thrust pullback force and 2000 ft-lb (2711
Nm) of torque.
For added control in varying soil con-
ditions, the standard AutoDrill function
allows the operator to set rotation, thrust
and pullback pressure. Similar to a cars
cruise control, the drill then adjusts bore
and pullback speeds as it works through
the bore.
The D16x20 Series II features sliding
tracks that adjust outward for improved
stability in uneven terrain. When returned
to the inward position, the drill has a com-
pact footprint. Precise ngertip controls are
mounted on two joysticks within the ergo-
