AGGREGATES MANAGER May 2014 28 The revolutionary Lokotrack® LT220D™ is an efficient and easy-to-transport unit that combines a screen with a crusher. This combination helps you eliminate the need to move multiple machines and saves on your fuel costs. Provide your customers with high quality aggregates with the new Lokotrack LT220D. www.metso.com/lokotrack Lokotrack® LT220D™ One crusher One screen One Lokotrack® 7H[W,1)2WRRUYLVLWZZZDJJPDQFRPLQIR Artics feature turbocharged engines Volvo's new G-Series articulated haul trucks — including the A35G, 135G FS, 140G, and A40G FS — feature new turbocharged six-cylinder Volvo engines that meet Tier 4 Final emission regulations. The drive- train and inline dropbox are designed for high ground clearance, while the drivetrain delivers high rimpull, lowers fuel consumption, and pro- vides reliability in heavy-duty applications. Oil-cooled wet multiple disc brakes are said to reduce maintenance costs and increase uptime, even on muddy or dusty sites. A retardation system controls downhill haul speeds using wheel brakes and the engine brake. Automatic traction con- trol and differential locks are standard, while an onboard weighing sys- tem allows the equipment operator to optimize payload. The machines are also fitted with CareTrack, Volvo's telematics system.

Featur- ing four independent safety components, the double lock- ing, fully automatic quick coupler configuration complies with the impending safety standards set forth by ISO/ FDIS 13031:2013(E). The front safety lock retains the attachment in the event of improper link/rear pin con- nection, while the front safety lock and the mechanical secondary rear safety system independently retain the at- tachment in a working position should a loss of hydraulic power occur. It also features a hydraulic cylinder check valve, as well as a patented "curl to release" control system for safe attachment engagement and release. Geith | www.geith.com
