6097 Chicago Pneumatic is offering a new range of hydraulic compactor attachments. The firm’s RC range is said to offer increased performance over the models being replaced. The new line up includes five models for use on carriers with an operating weight of 1-40 tonnes. The units are said to feature robust construction along with high performance and efficiency, as well as easy maintenance. These attachments are designed for use in demanding applications such as slope and trench compaction, or preparation for piling work.

Chicago Pneumatic says that the units are built to deliver maximum uptime and minimum downtime as well as being durable, long-lasting and simple to maintain.

All the models in the RC range are designed for rapid fitting onto a carrier and do not require any special installation procedures. The units are said to combine high compaction frequency with high vibrating forces. To reduce stress on the compactor and carrier during operation, the housing is offset by 15%. This provides better force distribution across the plate, in addition to lower rates of wear and tear.

Meanwhile integrated flow rate and pressure controls help ensure that the hydraulic compactors are protected against hydraulic overload situations. This maximises operator safety and saves time when switching the compactors between different carriers. The use of solid rubber isolators provides additional shock damping for return vibration, so that there is no limitation on back pressure in the return line.

Low maintenance needs are claimed with an oil bath around the shaft bearing to deliver greasing, while Chicago Pneumatic’s AutoLube system eliminates the need for regular manual greasing.

The RC compactors are equipped with connection hoses that are designed to withstand the stresses of tough working applications, with protection against chafing provided by a spiral steel wire. A range of additional options are also available, including a continuous rotation device for easy positioning and higher productivity, and new backfill blades for smoother levelling.

    Develon has launched the DX235RTF-7 tunnelling excavator, an extension to the company’s line-up of special application machines.

    The DX235RTF-7 is based on Develon’s well-established DX235LCR-7 reduced radius crawler excavator and is powered by a DL06V Stage V engine, providing 141kW of power. The DX235RTF-7 uses the successful compact design and minimum swing radius of the DX235LCR-7. However, the key part of the machine is the heavy duty tunnelling front, offering a new arm and boom design with special kinematics and a tilting function.
