More power in the same footprint
McClanahan Corp. spent the last two years engineering a new jaw crusher de-
signed for high-performance primary crushing. Safety lock pins and hydraulic
assist for wear parts change-out makes maintenance safer. Adjustments to the
closed-side settings are now simpler. Hydraulic rams are isolated from crushing
action, allowing longer life and full automation, while nearly eliminating toggle
migration. The attack angle and crushing stroke pattern were re-engineered to
increase capacity by up to 15 percent, while minimizing wear on the jaw dies.

Designed for tough
operating conditions
With its kinematics and hydraulic power, the new R 956 crawler
excavator, from Liebherr, is designed with increased breakout and
digging forces for tough operating conditions. The unit weighs in
at 117,945 to 123,020 pounds, depending on configuration, and
is powered by a 322-horsepower, Tier 4 interim engine. An auto-
matic idling system helps to optimize fuel consumption, along with
two-stage turbocharging with intercooler, which increases power
at low revs. A "Regeneration Plus" function allows for accelerated
lowering of the boom without sacrificing power.

Wheel loader bumps payload
Cat's new 990K wheel loader offers more power and increased
payload for improved productivity and fuel efficiency. It features
a redesigned cab that delivers a sleek operator interface and quiet
environment, as well as several features to promote operator and
maintenance technician safety and performance. Designed as a load-
ing tool for the 773, 775, and 777 trucks, it has a rated payload of 17.5
tons, up from its 16.5-ton predecessor, the 990H. New Performance
Series Buckets promote fast filling and full buckets; they are available
in sizes ranging from 11.25 to 13 cubic yards. The Cat C27 ACERT
engine powers the unit and delivers an 11-percent increase in power
compared to the earlier model. New power of 699 horsepower helps
increase production without a corresponding spike in fuel consump-
tion. Additional fuel-saving features include ECO Mode (on-demand
throttle), engine-idle shutdown system, and engine-idle kickdown/
auto-resume mode. Caterpillar | www.cat.com
