February 2016 | EquipmentWorld.com 16 marketplace | continued DOOSAN RELEASES POWER TILTING COUPLER, SEVERE DUTY BUCKETS Doosan's new DX140 power tilting coupler will add up to 134 degrees of flex- ibility to their DX63-3 compact excavator, DX140LC-5 through DX255LC-5 crawler excavator models, and the DX140W-5 through DX210W-5 wheel excavator models. The coupler will simplify trenching or ditching jobs by allowing the operator to tilt the bucket 67 degrees to the right or left without changing attachments or repositioning the machine. It will also assist with digging around or under objects, such as underground pipes. Doosan has also released a line of severe duty buckets, made from abrasion-resistant material, allowing for greater durability in heavy digging and loading applications, such as quarry work. The side cutters, side wear plates, shell bottom and weld-on wear shroud are abrasion resistant and reinforc- ing gussets have been included on the bucket's machine-fitting joint. HILTI'S CORDLESS DRILL ATTACHMENT REDUCES DUST BY UP TO 97.8 PERCENT The latest model of Hilti's TE 4-A18 rotary hammer drill now comes with an optional dust removal system (DRS) attachment for virtually dust-free drilling in a cordless system. The ergonom- ically-designed and lightweight unit reduces clean up time and provides a healthier workspace for workers. The DRS attachment is powered by the tool's 18V bat- tery, and adds greater functional- ity to the stock TE 4-A18, which has a high-efficiency motor and electro-pneumatic hammering for higher drilling performance.
