September 2017 | EquipmentWorld.com 70 concrete/asphalt attachments | continued The Road Widener FH-R attachment for skid steer and compact track loaders is designed for road shoulder and other aggregate dispersal work. It can also be used for trench repairs. The widener can lay down widths of 1 to 4 feet and comes in right- and left-side discharge options. It is powered by standard hydraulics, and all functions can be operated by remote control. The company says it is easily maneuvered around guardrails, sign posts and other obstacles. Cut rate increased for milling John Deere's four D-Series cold planer attachments – CP12D, CP18D, CP24D and CP30D – turn skid steers, compact track loaders and compact wheel loaders into milling machines. The attachments are designed to perform street repairs, match uneven paved surfaces, cut drainage in parking lots and clean up around large milling machines. Deere added 10 percent more cut rate than the C-Series and gave the planers an angled soil-guard design to prevent the wheels from riding over millings. Widen roads by remote control Safely drill in cramped spaces Brokk has joined with TEI Rock Drills to create an alternative to jackleg drills for working in cramped spaces. The TE160 hy- draulic drifter rock drill attachment can be paired with the Brokk 110 or Brokk 160 for concrete demolition and mining applications. The company says the combination of the remote- control demolition equipment eliminates worker fatigue caused by jackleg drills, improves drilling accuracy and allows workers to drill down to 20 feet while standing at a safe distance. The Brokk 110 can also be taken into areas with height clearances as low as 6 feet. The TE160 is 26 inches long and delivers 35 to 60 foot- pounds of impact energy at 5,000 to 6,500 blows per minute.
