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.

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.

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.
