Attachments Provide Versatility to Compact Track Loaders

Sept. 28, 2010









Attached to any compact track loader and skid steer, the Coneqtec/Universal DC8000 compaction plate delivers 8,000 pounds of vertical compaction force to soil, sand or gravel. A specially formed front lip allows the plate to back-drag and level the surface prior to compaction. The 73-inch width extends beyond the carrier, which results in precise control around buildings or other obstacles, says the company. Another model, the DC5500, attaches to smaller compact machines.

Stanley











With three model sizes, Stanley's Cyclone drop hammer fits various compact equipment types, including track loaders, for use in flatwork demolition projects. With nomenclature based on impact energy in foot-pounds, the Cyclone DH1500, DH3500 and DH9000 models are “ideal for rental customers and demolition contractors who need to remove concrete flooring,” says Tim Jones, president, Stanley Hydraulic Tools. A patented “skid” system keeps the Cyclone grounded and dissipates the shock as it pulverizes the concrete.
