Allied Shows Off Newest Wares at Cleveland Demo Event
Construction Equipment Guide,August 24th, 2005
Allied Construction Products LLC held a demo event for its new line of m- and in-Series hydraulic hammers and Ho-Pac plate compactor attachments on July 20 at the company's Marblehead Testing Grounds in Lakeside/Marblehead, OH.
m-Series Modules Can Be Rebuilt Separately
The Rammer m-Series hydraulic hammer has been added
to Allied's full product line.
The m-Series hammers are built with a modular design made
up of three major components - housing, impact and tool
modules. With this all new modular design, maintenance is
quicker, rebuilding is easier and all modules can be overhauled
separately.
The m-Series hammers feature:
- Modular design that allows three modules to be overhauled separately
- Adjustable impact energy to match working conditions for optimal performance
- Constant Blow Energy(CBE) that guarantees that all blows are at full power
- Higher power to weight ratio with a heavier piston delivering more impact energy
- Easy start or auto-shut-off
- Ramlube that ensures continuous greasing to both bushings in all conditions
- No tie rods or tie bolts, and
- Slip-fit lower and upper tool bushings that are easily maintained and require no special tools
Mounted on excavators, the m-Series hydraulic hammers are built for the demolition of concrete structures, building foundations, pavement, trench rock and oversize rock.
Join the "in-Crowd"
The in-Series hammers are built to meet the growing demands
of the rental market and offer contractors the most up-to-date
hammer technology. The most distinctive feature of the in-Series
hydraulic hammers is a massive trapezoidal tool that offers
considerable benefits over traditional small hammer tools.
This non-breakable tool provides extended service-life combined
with increased productivity.
The in-Series hammers feature:
- A massive, trapezoidal tool that is unbreakable
- Minimal, maintenance (no greasing)
- No tie-rods; No tie-bolts; No side-bolts
- No steel tool bushings (one bushing made of composite wear-resistant material)
- A compact design for narrow work areas
- No day-to-day nitrogen-gas checking or charging, and
- An innovative mounting bracket (two brackets in one).
Mounted on a mini-excavators, skid steers and backhoes, the in-Series hydraulic hammers are built for the demolition of concrete structures, building foundations and pavement.
The Extreme Ho-Pac - A New Generation of Compacting
The all-new extreme Ho-Pacs - models 500, 1000, 1600 and
2300 - now deliver more impact energy, multiple bolt-on
base plates, an errorless, four-function valve, a variety
of mounting configurations and maintenance-free oil splash
bearing lubrication.
The advantages of the all-new generation of extreme Ho-Pacs
include:
- A larger eccentric with the mass further away from the shaft centerline that helps to increase impulse and compaction force
- Oil splash that provides maintenance-free (no greasing) bearing lubrication
- A base plate that can be unbolted easily to allow replacement with a different size (wider or narrower) or custom attachment
- New hose routing for better protection against sheared or damaged hoses
- Worry-free "plug-and-go" installation
- Tough-coat hoses that prevent cuts and extend ear-life
- A four-function valve that controls flow, pressure, regeneration and oil flow direction, and
- A variable Mounting System(VMS) providing a variety of mounting configurations (except Model 500) to "custom-fit" to most carriers
The Ho-Pac features specifically-designed rubber mounts that direct the energy forces to the compaction plate, not the carrier's boom.
Static downpressure and the high impulse vibration forces produced by the Ho-Pac are ideal for compacting granular materials. The vibrations generate stress waves, which bring the soil's air and moisture to the surface. As a result, the soil particles are rearranged, compressed and compacted. These same forces also effectively compact cohesive materials.
As a compactor, Ho-Pacs are ideal for trench, slope and excavation compaction. They are also suited for compacting waste materials and for breaking up frozen coal. An optional swivel-top mounting bracket permits precise positioning of the Ho-Pac without repositioning the carrier.
As a driver, Ho-Pacs offer a faster, less-expensive technique for driving wood, steel an aluminum sheeting, H and I beams, piling, posts and sea walls.
The Allied Ho-Pacs operate off of the machine's own hydraulic system and reach out to work anywhere the machine's boom can reach. And, the Ho-Pacs interchange with the machine's bucket in minutes. An optional swivel-top mounting bracket permits precise positioning of the Ho-Pacs without repositioning the carrier.
Because it's both a compactor and a driver, the Allied Ho-Pacs permit even the smallest contractor or municipality to have this dual capability available.
The all-new generation of extreme Ho-Pacs are rugged, versatile and reliable.
