Talon Recruiting - Heavy Industry Headhunting’s Post

When I was younger we used to load and unload trucks with Bantam cable cranes… and I remember the the day we got our first 270 Hitachi excavator with 3x2 grapple on it. Talk about a game changer. (Side note…My dad let me sit in the seat with him and tear up a car for fun with it, I remember it like it was yesterday) We were late to the material handler party, mostly out of cost (they are $$) but eventually we got our first SENNEBOGEN sometime around 2010 I believe. Another game changer for us for efficiency, safety, production, etc. I feel life is the same way. A series of “equipment” upgrades, in the form of experiences and risks, that allow us to be more equipped to handle whatever gets thrown at us. You grow in life and in business when you are willing to take that leap of faith and challenge yourself to step up to the next level. Is it risky? Abso-fukin-lutely… but that’s the equipment upgrade most likely needed to keep growing 🦾♻️ Have a great day! #scraplife #hustle #growth #recycledidaho #recycledmaterials #recycling #scrapmetalrecycling #ferrous #steel #steelmill

When track drive motors like those on a Caterpillar 303 CR compact excavator come into the shop, the issues usually involve a leak between the back side of the hydraulic motor and the drive sprocket --a failed face seal. #TexasFinalDrive #FinalDriveParts #CAT #CATEquipment #CAT303R #miniexcavator #compactExcavator https://bit.ly/3RLNtzY

Compact track loaders first appeared in the 1980s, replacing skid-steer loaders with rubber or steel tracks. It is estimated that compact track loaders are about 30% more expensive than comparable capacity skid-steer loaders, but despite this, they are becoming increasingly popular. Compact track loaders are more expensive, but their tracked undercarriage means they exert less ground pressure, making them suitable for challenging ground conditions or situations where ground damage is a concern. Automation is a growing trend in this market and may be key to making machines more efficient and user-friendly for operators of any skill level. Improving productivity, on-site efficiency, and safety are all goals for the future. #rubber #rubberproducts #rubbertrack #tracks #transport #environment #skidsteer #skidsteerloader #excavator #dumper #rubberproducts #quality #productivity #travel #technology #future #development #success #growth #automotive #opportunities #electronics

Mecalac rolls out eS1000 Swing Loader Mecalac is adding to its eSeries range of 100% electric machines by introducing the new eS1000 Swing Loader. The machine “optimizes battery use for an unprecedented eight-hour autonomy,” Mecalac said. The French OEM based the design of the new 1000-liter electric model on the diesel-powered AS1000, but in addition to running with zero emissions, Mecalac said the eS1000 causes less noise and vibration disturbances to make it possible to use the new swing loader indoors and in sensitive environments. The eS1000 also has reduced cycle times, maintenance costs and accident risks, according to Mecalac. Built with stability in mind, the new swing loader can lift a load and turn it 180 degrees once the real axle is locked without any loss of balance, even with the wheels fully steered. Mecalac said the eS1000’s stability in all positions and on all terrains will transform the logistics of construction sites. The eSeries range now includes the eS1000 and the e12, the first 11-ton electric excavator introduced by Mecalac in 2022. The company said an urban jobsite with three electric Mecalac machines will save an average of 64 tons of CO2 in one year compared to the same models running on diesel engines.   Ramamurthy Mayavan Philip Varghese #machines #engines #constructionsites #electric #Mecalac #machinery #excavators #stability #disturbances #equipment #constructionequipment #environments

Over time debris can build up in your machine’s air and fuel filters. Check your machine’s operators manual for recommended service intervals which can vary based on machine model and application. If the air & fuel filters become clogged or begin to deteriorate, harmful contaminants can enter vital areas of the machine negatively effecting the performance and risks causing larger, critical engine issues over time. Komatsu filters can be bought individually or as part of a filter kit which incorporates all components needed to complete the required interval service.

There may come a time when an older construction machine may start experiencing major engine issues such as excessive smoke, leakages, overheating or misfiring which may beg the question, what are my options beyond replacing the machine? An option may be an Engine Short Block engine sub-assembly to solve the issue. Short Blocks are available for most Komatsu dozers, dump trucks, excavators and wheel loaders including utility-sized machines. A Short Block generally consists of: • Cylinder Block • Crankshaft • Pistons, con-rods, and liners Engine Long Blocks are also available for a more thorough engine replacement.

An overlooked 'green' benefit of articulated forklifts? Readers will be familiar with the environmental benefits of articulated forklifts, like the need for less space and therefore energy in heating premises, and even fuel for trucks if it means cutting out transport costs, but have you ever considered how much energy goes into building millions of standard counterbalanced (cb) forklifts? Electric vehicles may not emit carbon when being driven but they are very resource hungry. Materials for just just one electric vehicle can mean extracting about 225 tons of finite raw materials. It's a similar story for trucks powered by diesel, hydrogen and lpg. Owing to the artics' versatility they can cut the need for three different types of forklift to one because they combine all the functions of cb, reach truck and very narrow aisle (VNA) truck. There was one forklift buyer who needed a new fleet of trucks and was given a quote for 24 trucks which did not include artics. His accepted quote did, for which he needed only 16 trucks. Are you a resource glutton? #articulatedforklifts #environment #energy The articulated forklift has no equal for versatility

Cat Offers New 988 GC Wheel Loader at Lower Cost Yet Same 12-Ton Payload   Caterpillar Inc.’s new 988 GC is a lower-cost, lower-powered version of the company’s 12-ton-payload class of wheel loaders but with the same loading capacity. Compared with the 988K XE released earlier this year and the 988K, the GC version gets a smaller engine for saving fuel and reducing costs. Owning and operating costs drop as much as 10% and carbon-dioxide emissions are reduced 5% compared to the previous 988K, Cat says. It’s designed to deliver the lowest cost per hour of the 988 models, for customers who don’t need the higher productivity levels and want to save on fuel, Cat says. The GC is powered by a 373-net-horsepower Cat C15 engine, the same as on the 986K. Both the 988K and 988K XE, which is an electric-drive machine, run on Cat C18 engines with outputs of over 540 horsepower. Like the other models, the GC comes equipped with Cat’s Performance Bucket Series, with sizes ranging from 8.3 to 10 cubic yards. Standard is Cat’s connected bucket technology in which the loader recognizes when the bucket is installed and can track hours of use to predict wear and prevent unplanned downtime. Cat Payload, which tracks bucket load weight and other performance data, can be installed as an option by the dealer. The 988 GC is matched to a 50-ton-payload truck for loading. Along with the same engine, the GC’s design is based on the 986K. But the front frame linkage and hydraulic system have been redesigned to accommodate higher payloads and a longer reach while keeping the 986K’s wheelbase of 12.5 feet. Standard features on the 988 GC include the same touchscreen display as on the 986K, quieter Steering and Integrated Control (STIC) steer, electro-hydraulics controls and an improved brake valve. The 988 GC also shares the same tires and rims as the 986K. For maintenance, the 988 GC provides ground access to the master disconnect, the emergency engine shutdown, the jumpstart receptacle and the stairway light switch. The fuel and diesel exhaust fluid fills are located behind a dedicated service door. log on https://equipmenttimes.in/ Ramamurthy Mayavan Philip Varghese #constructionequipment #constructionmachinery #infrastructure #infrastructurenews #caterpillarequipment #maintenance #CatPayload #machinery #caterpillar #equipmentmanagement #equipmentrental
