Slurry seal applicator tank for REAS
Bergkamp’s A3000 Premixed Slurry Seal Applicator Tank allows contractors to apply Rubberized Emulsion Aggregate Slurry (REAS) over highways, roads, parking lots and airport runways. REAS is designed for asphalt roads that are seven years old or less and have no major structural damage. A full-sweep agitator hydraulically maintains the proper material mixing speed regardless of the truck engine speed during transportation to the jobsite. Crumb rubber from the 78-percent recycled tires in the slurry mix provides higher skid resistance. Other features on the A3000 include a 3,000-gallon material tank, operator platform, simple material discharge system and a 4-inch cam lock fill port.
The PowerTech PVX 6.8L, 174-horsepower engine and PowerTech PSX 6.8L engine from John Deere Power Systems have been certified by the Environmental Protection Agency and European Union as compliant with the Interim Tier 4 and Stage III B regulations. The engines join the certified 9.0L engine models. Interim Tier 4/Stage III B emissions regulations began Jan. 1, 2011, for 174-horsepower and above engines, and require a 90-percent reduction in diesel particulate matter and a 50-percent reduction in nitrogen oxide from previous Tier 3/Stage III A requirements.

Attachments increases loader utility
Case Construction Equipment’s family of hydraulic angle broom attachments have been designed to increase the utility of its wheel loaders. They range in width from 96 to 120 inches, enabling the wheel loaders to sweep streets and parking lots, clean up jobsites and remove snow from jobsites. Angle broom models are available for Case 521D and E, 621D and E, 721D and E, and 821E wheel loaders. The brooms feature durable poly-wire brushes, broom heads that adjust 30 degrees left or right and an integrated nozzle for applications requiring water for dust control. The Case angle brooms attach to the Case-New Holland (CNH) Quick Coupler (JRB-compatible) for wheel loaders. Quick-change hydraulic fittings enable the operator to attach and detach the broom without disrupting hydraulic lines. Dual hydraulic motors power the broom attachment, driven by the loader’s optional third-function auxiliary hydraulic control. A rugged steel frame houses the broom. Broom models are available with either solid or pneumatic tires.
Pallet forks for skid steers
Case’s pallet forks are specially designed for use with the company’s skid steers and compact track loaders. The pallet fork assemblies are available with either 48- or 42-inch tines in a choice of heavy duty, rated to 5,500 pounds, or standard, rated to 4,000 pounds. The rugged frame’s mounting angle helps to assure proper forward tilt for loading and excellent rollback for transporting loads. The design offers ample room between the frame and the cab, providing easy access to and from the cab.
