Window to Condex ("Window to Condex" continued from page 23) The Tefra Auto Coupler allows you to quickly and safely change attachments, creating a very versatile base machine and more productive work environment. The coupler features a patented safety mechanism that eliminates the need for manual locking pins found on competitive couplers. The primary safety system consists of a uniquely designed set of hooks powered by a single cylinder and high specification hydraulic controls that lock the attachment securely into place. Our secondary locking system is an Active Protection System (the APS) consisting of two separate powerful springs (coil and leaf) that apply pressure to the hooks to ensure attachment retention at all times. The Smart Valve is a simple, patented, totally effective solution ensuring that the attachment and release sequence cannot be started until the Coupler is orientated towards the operator and close to the ground. This eliminates the possibility of an unsafe situation occurring. Its compact design means it can be totally enclosed within the hydraulic cylinder at the center of the Coupler – this protected position means it cannot be contaminated. It requires no routine maintenance and works in conjunction with other warning systems such as audible indicators to ensure a safe and easy operation. GENSCO is pleased to show the new range of ZATO hydraulic shears for demolition and scrap processing. A full range of tool attachments is available for excavators of all sizes, including mini-excavators and skid-steer loaders. Shearing attachments are available from about 300 pounds and up, with powered rotation available on most models. For long life, superior design and engineering, choose the ZATO demolition attachments. A single system can now be used for both primary and secondary demolition and pulverization of concrete structures. Optional magnet equipped systems for separation out of cut steel. This is part of the complete range of GENSCO attachments for demolition and scrap handling, including magnets, grapples, clamshell buckets, sorting grabs and rock breakers. Based off the popular 912HM articulated dump truck model, the 912HM flatbed (right) features a 1.6 foot extended rear half with a built-in tipping frame ideal for the construction, utility and oil and gas industries. Like all of Hydrema's products, the 912HM flatbed is built with high quality materials including a heavy-duty, robot-welded, articulated chassis as well as Hydrema's patent-pending front axle suspension. The newly developed suspension features a center pivot with pendulum bar and double hydraulic stabilizers allowing operators the option of locking the oscillation movement at up to 22 degrees. Along with the durable design, Hydrema's 912HM offers exceptionally low ground pressure, which makes working on even the softest ground conditions possible. The machine utilizes its 2.6-foot-wide, 30-inch wheels, high ground clearance, articulated pivot steering system and automatic weight transfer to successfully and efficiently traverse delicate terrain. The Hydrema 922HM (below) is the obvious choice for driving on soft terrain and in areas that demand the lowest possible ground pressure. Hydrema's three-axle dump truck, with its unique articulated pivot joint and bogies with a wide steering angle, offers superior tractive power, unmatched stability and the market's lowest unladen weight and performance/ weight ratio, resulting in extremely low fuel consumption. The 922HM has an exceptionally low unladen weight and the best performance/weight ratio ever. The articulated chassis has pendulum bar and double hydraulic stabilizers in the pivot joint. These features ensure great stability during operation and when performing tipping operations, even when the dump truck is at maximum oscillating angle.
