April 2015 | EquipmentWorld.com 20 marketplace | continued AUTOMATIC ENERGY ADJUSTMENT Perform a range of oversized breaking applications including rock splitting with Monta- bert's V1800 and V2500 Evo- lution hydraulic breakers, which feature an automatic two-speed variation system that adjusts impact energy and striking rate to deliver high energy per blow on hard ground and high frequency on soft ground. The 4,154-pound V1800 is designed for carriers weighing between 55,100 and 66,150 pounds, has a 310- to 800-pbm striking rate and delivers 6,000 foot- pounds of impact energy. The 5,660-pound V2500 is suited for carriers weighing between 59,500 and 88,200 pounds, has a 350- to 800-bpm striking rate and delivers 8,000 foot-pounds of impact energy. The heavy- range Evolution breakers have a heavy-duty housing and fully enclosed heavy-duty cradles that minimize ambient noise on the jobsite while protecting working parts from dust and de- bris. Standard features include a blank-fire protection system, soft-start feature and an energy recovery system that recycles recoil energy to increase strike power. USEFUL UPGRADES Caterpillar's 735C, 740C EJ and 745C articulated trucks feature a host of upgrades over the ma- chines' predecessors, the B Series. With engines that meet Tier 4 Final standards, the 735C's C15 ACERT delivers 452 horsepower, and the C18 ACERT engine in the 740C EJ and 745C delivers 511 horse- power. The trucks have 36-, 42- and 45.2-ton rated payload capacities, respectively, including a 1.7-ton increase for the 745C when compared to the 740B. The 740C EJ is an ejector model that combines the 745C's tractor with a horizontal discharge body that enables the truck to unload material to uniform depths while traveling at speed. The ejector model also provides stability when discharging the load in less-than-ideal conditions. The trucks include Cat's Clean Emissions Module, an aftertreatment system that includes a diesel particulate filter that automatically regenerates, and features a selective catalytic reduction system and easily accessible DEF tank. The transmission, Cat's CX38 High Density Power Shift, has nine forward speeds and two reverse speeds. The CX38's electronic features include trans- mission clutch engagement modulation for smooth shifting and torque management that maintains consistent flow during gear-range changes, while providing automatic shift selection tailored to the job. The transmission also has automatic traction control and the ability to set retarding control to fully automatic. Additional features include a system that facilitates stopping and starting on grades, and a braking system that applies the service brakes during pauses in the work cycle. MORE HAULING CAPACITY Talbert Manufacturing has updated their Traveling Axle Series by increasing the hauling capac- ity of each model in the product line by 5 tons. Set to replace all the models in the series, the new TA models now feature capacities of 40 tons for the 4048TA, 4050TA and 4053TA, and 55 tons for the 5548TA and 5553TA models. The TA Series features a 36-inch loaded deck height to allow for transportation of tall equipment through bridges and tunnels. The models also have Talbert's piggy-back cylinder, which now has a larger diameter for faster axle travel. An increased number of keyholes across the rear of the trailer provides flexibility when tying down loads, and a lockable curbside gooseneck toolbox has a weather resistant door seal. A standard metal e-chain for air and electrical lines ensures aftermarket dock levelers can be added easily and less expensively. Ad- ditional features include a 7-degree load angle, 15,000-pound planetary winch with two-function wireless remote and double keyhole tie-down slots on top of the outside beams and recessed in the center of the main deck.
