Manufacturer recently introduced its largest articulated wheel loader, the WL95, and has additional models planned for later this year. The machine’s variable hydrostatic transmission provides traction and high travel speeds (12.4 mph). With a standard 2-yd. bucket and straight bucket tipping load up to 14,394 lbs., the WL95 is capable of quick material movement. Its compact design enables a tight turning radius and generous steering angle, while the articulated joint and a pendulum axle at the rear ensures optimum maneuverability and traction. A return-to-dig function, ride control and reversing fan as standard ensure optimum productivity.

Programmer premiers first VR simulator for lift planning
The 3D Lift Vision simulator enables users to execute in virtual reality mode a lift plan for precast or other structural member. “Each simulation is as unique as the lift plan that it is based on,” says A1A Software President Tawnia Weiss. “There is no better way to visualize the outcome of a lift than to allow the crane operator and other team members to simulate it in a virtual environment. 3D Lift Vision extends the ability of 3D Lift Plan to be used as a communication and risk mitigation tool.”

Company has launched an aluminum product line to support the national precast market. Effective immediately, it is offering the domestically manufactured Aluminum Access Hatch series for utility vaults. The hatches are fabricated in angled or trough frame designs, both available in single or double leaf versions. The former is configured for applications where rainwater entering the vault is not a concern, while the trough frame suits applications where rainwater intrusion control is needed.

Company’s latest DenseFlow PHF system suits a diverse range of free- to poor-flowing coarse and fine powders, automatically setting them into a single layer for continuous, gentle, first-in-first-out transport at rates up to 88 cubic feet per minute. The design introduces the air or other transport gas from both the pressure vessel and separately from a discharge elbow downstream to achieve a desirably low air to material ratio averaging 88 pounds of material per pound of conveying air.

Silo inventory control console
The C-100 mounts at a convenient location in the plant or loadout areas. Employees walk or drive up to retrieve silo level data from the console, whose rugged housing allows indoor or outdoor mounting. The local display eliminates the need to visit a control room or PLC and complements the company’s BinView or Binventory inventory management software.
