Power density in a small package The new Hatz 4H50TIC (turbo intercooled) diesel engine puts out a maximum of 75 horsepower and 177 foot-pounds of torque with just 1,952 cc of displacement. The DPF-free design uses an optimized combustion chamber geometry and Bosch common rail fuel injec- tion with pressures up to 26,100 psi to reduce particulate emissions, conserve fuel and meet Tier 4 Final regulations. May 2014 | EquipmentWorld.com 32 ConExpo-Con/Agg, part 2 | continued Chicago Pneumatic enters concrete equipment market Chicago Pneumatic's new concrete equipment line includes vibration, leveling, fi nishing and cutting products. The company's VPM mechanical pokers are designed for mid-sized applications us- ing medium- to high-slump concrete, and the VPP pneumatic poker range handles jobs of any size with low- to high-slump concrete requiring high-speed vibration. CP's new walk-behind screeds are equipped with Honda engines and feature throttle control for quick adjustments. The LBG 1200 hand-held screed provides surface vibration and is suitable for slabs of all types and concrete of all consistencies. The CP CombiForm lightweight, leave-in-place screed rail system is an effi cient leveling solution that has no concrete pre-leveling requirement before screed- ing. The STG power trowel line provides smooth fi nish surfaces on concrete slabs, parking lots and more. CP's concrete and asphalt fl oor saws deliver a straight, stable cut for expansion joints, up to a 150-mm max depth. Features include adjustable handles and ergonomically positioned controls, and gas and diesel models are available. Shell LubeExpress speed up oil changes Changing lube oil and fi lters on a truck or piece of off-road equipment can get messy. The Shell LubeExpress elimi- nates the dirty work and speeds up the process by forcing oil out of the engine and the oil fi lter with air pressure. The dirty oil is collected via the oil pan and fresh oil is pumped back into the en- gine under pressure. The process helps keep the shop and technicians clean, minimizes contact with hot oil and im- proves shop productivity. Mixed service tires improve on/off-road performance Goodyear's G731 MSA and G751 MSA mixed-service tires will become available for construction, dump, cement mixers and other types of fl eets this summer in several different sizes. A special tread compound in these tires enhances resis- tance to chips, cuts and tears. The tires will also feature Goodyear's DuraSeal Technology, a gel-like rubber compound built into the tire's casing, which in- stantly seals nail-hole punctures up to 1/4 inch in the repairable are of the tread.
