MULTI-TASKING TRENCHER
POWER UP
Miller’s EnPak Mechanic Series is a truck-integrated air compressor, generator and hydraulic pump that runs on its own 27-horsepower Kubota diesel engine. The unit is wired and plumbed into the truck’s electrical and fuel systems so you can plug in your welding machines and other electric tools, hydraulic attachments or air tools at the various tap points. The variable-speed, rotary-screw air compressor puts out 40 cfm at 100 psi with a 175 psi maximum. The hydraulic pump is rated at 3,000 psi and 8.5 gpm (up to 20 gpm max). And your electric tools can tap into 6,000 watts of generator power at 100 percent duty cycle plus an additional 2,400 watts of pure sine wave power at idle. Compared to a conventional PTO the EnPack can lower fuel costs up to 30 percent, reduce truck engine hours up to 60 percent and lower noise levels as much as 10 decibels, the company says.

Improve productivity with Ditch Witch’s RT24 compact trencher, which offers steering similar to that of a skid steer for easy maneuverability. The fully hydrostatic unit delivers 22.3 horsepower and digs trenches up to 48 inches deep and 8 inches wide, for a variety of utility work. Designed with more weight on the digging chain, the RT24 puts product in the ground quickly. A track option improves stability and traction, and a trail wheel that supports the oscillating tracks reduces breakover in uneven terrain. For difficult digging conditions, the RT24’s chain speed can be adjusted with a substitution of a 10-tooth sprocket for the standard 12-tooth sprocket. A backfill blade removes the need for manual labor, and a boring attachment enables contractors to install utilities under surface improvements such as sidewalks while minimizing ground disturbance. Hand controls grouped together at the operator’s station ensure easy operation.

SMALL SOLUTION
Automatically lubricate machine-operated hydraulic breakers weighing less than 1,100 pounds with Atlas Copco’s ContiLube II micro-system. The system’s refillable cartridge holds 5 ounces of chisel paste, and the casing’s compact pump supplies the grease as needed by bleeding air independently. The system can be carrier mounted or directly attached to the breaker’s adapter plate.
