AGGREGATES MANAGER April 2015 10 Drill features digital display Vermeer upgrades its D100x140 Navigator horizontal directional drill with a Tier 4 Final engine and additional features. The D100x140 S3 features a 275-horsepower Cat diesel engine that provides 100,000 pounds of thrust/pullback and 14,000 foot- pounds of rotational torque, plus increased rotational speed of 203 rpm. It is also available with the InSite asset management system, which delivers data across multiple platforms. In addition, the DigiTrak Aurora touch-screen interface provides real-time lo- cation information and enhances the operator's ability to monitor drill performance. It has two Firestrick drill rod options: 15 feet or 20 feet. Stackable rod boxes with a single-pin design and patent- pending auto-lock allow an additional rod to be loaded from an upper rod box. Vermeer | www.vermeer.com Tier 4 Final ADT Komatsu America Corp. introduces its HM400-5 articulated dump truck. Featuring a net 469 horsepower, it is powered by a Komatsu SAA6D140E-7, Tier 4 Final engine. With a 44.1-ton payload and gross vehicle weight of 165,633 pounds, the truck maintains the productivity of its predecessor while improving fuel efficiency. The low 10-foot, 5-inch loading height matches with 40-ton to 60-ton hydraulic excavators or 5.5-cubic-yard to 7.5-cubic-yard wheel loaders. The Komatsu Traction Control System automatically provides traction in soft ground conditions, while K-ATOMiCS — Komatsu Advanced Transmission with Optimum Modulation Control System — offers a six-speed, automatic transmission that eliminates shift shock and torque cutoff to improve operator and engine efficiency. Komatsu America Corp. | www.komatsuamerica.com Economical breaker attachments Atlas Copco adds three new hydraulic breaker attachments to its Es- sential Case-Mounted (EC) range to fit 22- to 49-ton carriers. The new breaker attach- ments include the EC 140 T, EC 150 T, and EC 155 T. They feature box-style mount- ing systems, which eliminate the need for external fasteners to access components such as bushings and seals. The attachments are as light as 4,000 pounds and generate impact rates as high as 800 blows per minute to deliver impact en- ergy to the breaking surface. Atlas Copco www.atlascopco.com Vehicle scale conversion kits Mettler Toledo announces its solution to scales that use outdated analog technology, which, it says, are prone to downtime and weighing errors. It can now replace existing load cells in other manu- facturers' scales with Powercell PDX load cells. Conversion kits are designed for the specific brand of scale the operator owns, to allow for conversion with minimal downtime. In addition, the load cells operate without junction boxes.
