9 AGGREGATES MANAGER November 2015 by Bobby Atkinson, Online Managing Editor: BobbyAtkinson@randallreilly.com Your complete guide to new and updated equipment and supplies in the aggregates industry. New jaw crusher for sand and gravel use KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens have introduced a new 2056 Vanguard Jaw Crusher. The 20-by-56 jaw crusher works in sand and gravel applications, as well as recycled concrete and other mining uses. The crusher has a new single cylinder auto-tension system for less maintenance, better reliability, and less wear on the parts. It also has a new wear seat with easy access and a new corrugated stationary wedge to increase the crusher gap and maintain a steep nip angle. The shaft and bearing assembly are also more serviceable for less maintenance. KPI-JCI | www.kpijci.com More productive tilting couplers Geith has released new tilting couplers for excavators and backhoes weighing 6 to 26 tons. These tilting couplers let operators move the position of the bucket or attachment without having to move the machine. The hydraulic quick coupler configuration features four independent locking components that work well in severe and dry weather. The product has a variable-pin center design to make picking it up and changing between OEM attachments easier and without requiring the operator to leave the cab. Geith | www.Geith.com Expanded body options on telescopic crane Iowa Mold Tooling Co. has a new Dominator III mechanics body for the IMT model 1200 telescopic crane without a front stabilizer. The new mechanics body design is for operators that don't need the full 100-percent lift capacity in every load. The body comes in 11- and 14-foot lengths with four configuration options to choose from. The new Dominator II model was designed for those who need to lift more than the 10,000-pound maximum on the Dominator III and less than the 14,000-pound capacity of the Dominator IV.
