Increasing excavator versatility

Bobcat continues to broaden the versatility of its machines with a new line of dipper stick mounted hydraulic clamp attachments for its 1-60tonne mini-excavators. The clamps are offered in long and short versions to fit Bobcat buckets mounted on excavators with Pin-on, Klac or Lehnhoff attachment systems. They are designed for applications involving picking and placing of objects with Bobcat mini-excavators.

1130 Bobcat continues to broaden the versatility of its machines with a new line of dipper stick mounted hydraulic clamp attachments for its 1-60tonne mini-excavators. The clamps are offered in long and short versions to fit Bobcat buckets mounted on excavators with Pin-on, Klac or Lehnhoff attachment systems.

They are designed for applications involving picking and placing of objects with Bobcat mini-excavators. When used with a trenching bucket, the hydraulic clamp allows an operator to grasp, lift and place broken concrete or asphalt, stone blocks and other objects.

Available in weights from 27-115kg, the clamp attachments can be extended so they are out of the way when not required, and are said to be particularly useful for demolition and road repair tasks: they can be used to pick up debris and load it into trucks.

    Indeco is broadening its range of hydraulic attachments with the addition of two new shears. The new ISS 30/50 and the ISS 35/60 take the place of the earlier ISS 30/60 and offer an improved shape and increased jaw opening. As the firm now offers two shears rather than just one, this also allows users to better optimise the unit for the size carrier being used. Each ISS rotating shear can be either stick- or bucket-mounted. The firm also offers a fixed version which is mounted straight onto the excavator ar

    Caterpillar says that the addition of the new TRS23 Tiltrotator System (TRS), from its Work Tools division delivers a full portfolio of TRS configurations for its wheeled and crawler excavators weighing 23-30tonnes. The TRS23 has an integrated control system that boosts carrier versatility and attachment control. The unit can rotate 360° in either direction and tilt up to 40° left and right. This allows the carrier to reach more work areas from a single position and to manoeuvre around obstacles. The TRS
