Hitachi Introduces Zaxis 180LC-5

New to the North American market, the ZX180LC-5 is specifically designed to appeal to small local contractors, water and sewer contractors and those who dig basements and pools.

The ZX180LC-5 is slightly bigger than the new 160LC-5, yet has a unique boom/arm configuration for greater lift capacity and a wider undercarriage for more stability. It is lighter and easier to transport than the next-sized up 210-5/210LC-5 excavators, yet can perform much of the same work while saving diesel-fuel dollars, according to the manufacturer.

JRB Side Dump Bucket Simplifies Material Placement

The JRB side dump bucket by Paladin Construction Group is manufactured to provide wheel loader operators with more flexibility than a standard bucket can offer in construction and utility applications. This bucket can dump material from many angles, making it ideal for confined, hard-to-maneuver areas and jobs that require even material placement over long distances. One side of the JRB side dump bucket is shaped like a standard bucket to hold material, while the other side has a 45-degree side-shoot dumping angle that allows for full side dumping and angle backfilling.
