The 5 business segments Caterpillar has been reporting financials since 2011 include resource industries, construction, financial products, power systems and all other segments.
The majority of heavy equipment operators work in challenging environments for long shifts. It is imperative to keep an operator who may work ten to twelve-hour shifts or longer safe and comfortable to maintain productivity. One of the most effective ways to reduce downtime is to ensure operators are content. The HX Excavator series offered by Hyundai provides superior operator comfort and details. The design engineers revamped the cab interior to develop a luxurious, comfortable cab environment outfitted with the latest technology to create an atmosphere similar to high-end automobiles. The HX Series cabs are thirteen percent larger in comparison to the 9A Series and the HL wheel loaders boast being ten percent larger. This additional interior space keeps the operators more comfortable and safer. The improved front flat glass design on the HX line provides better visibility and less chance for mishaps.
Adding extra sound insulation, together with a quieter electronic fan clutch and new spring cab mounts greatly improve in-cab sounds by levels as high as 4dBA. These improvements create less noise pollution in the cab and ensure a quieter operator experience.
Imagine a smart machine that shuts down to save on fuel! This is one of the main features that have been incorporated when the machine idles within a specific programmable timeframe. This is common when an operator temporarily leaves their cab for bathroom breaks or snacks and forgets to turn their machine off. Obviously, burning unnecessary fuel adds up.
Cab designs now feature nine A/C vents with two that can be adjusted specifically for the face.
Local filter kits are offered by Hyundai Construction Equipment Dealers to aid in the daily operations of your machines. There are a variety of interval options including a 250 hour, 500 hour, 1000 hour and even a 2000 hour. Of course, the filter kits do not replace regular and routine maintenance, however, they can be used at any interval. The kit features the correct fluid filters to maintain and service your machine. Engine Air Filters are also available to job site applications.
The remote management GPS technology known as Hi MATE allows clients to monitor, trace and track their equipment at any time. This is an ideal option for all large to midsize excavators and wheel loaders for ensuring essential service and diagnostics are completed on time. This technology offers precise information regarding the operating history of the equipment, along with a digital map showcasing the location of the machine, a daily report detailing engine hours, fuel remaining, an hour meter, and time of key on and key off.
To prevent the machine from departing from a specific geographic location, there is a virtual geofence option that can be programmed by users. A red circle becomes visible around the machine icon that is located on the map one Geo-Fencing is programmed. If the machine travels outside of that boundary, an alarm is sounded and the information is sent to Hi MATE to notify the operator of where and when this machine left its’ boundary.
In the past decade, Skyjack was purchased by the Linamar Corporation, a leading producer of modules, precision machined components and assemblies. At present, Skyjack has production facilities in the US, Canada and Hungary with extra support offices in Europe and Asia.
The Skyjack brand name became the industry leader for aerial lift machines by combining features such as serviceability, durability and quality, making their very own scissor hoists know all over the world for product efficiency and reliability. Skyjack manufactures many other self-propelled aerial hoists for its worldwide customer base. Their elevated work heights reach nearly fifty six feet. The company`s existing Boom hoist model series has telescopic booms starting from 45 feet to 71 feet. Skyjack has plans to further extend their boom lift product line. The company is still a leading player in the trade adjusting fast to the constantly changing needs of their clients.
Skyjack`s acquisition of Carelift Equipment was finished in August of 2007. Most recently, their purchase of Volvo`s Material Handling Equipment business expands Skyjack`s Telehandler product offering. The resulting VR series telehandlers and Zoom Boom together with the additional manufacturing capability further ensures the company`s growth and success.
Toyota’s lift trucks offer better productivity, visibility, ergonomics and resilience, and most notably, the industry’s leading safety technology. The company’s System of Active Stability, often known as “SAS”, helps decrease the possibility of accidents and accidental injuries, in addition to increasing productivity levels while minimizing the likelihood of product and equipment breakage.
System Active Stability senses various factors that might lead to lateral volatility and possible lateral overturn. When one of those conditions are detected, SAS instantly engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to steady the rear axle. This adjusts the lift truck’s stability footprint from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also helps to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.
SAS was first introduced to the market on the 7-Series internal combustion products in 1999 and subsequently catapulted Toyota into the industry leader for safety. Ever since then, SAS have been built-in to nearly all of Toyota’s internal combustion machines. It is standard gear on the latest 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with obligatory operator education, overturn fatalities across all designs have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Furthermore, there have been an overall 35.5% fall in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift truck for the same period.
