UTILITY VEHICLES maximum outside turning radius of 7,100 mm, increased basic machine weight of 19,000 kg, and Volvo Penta TAD870VE EU Stage IV, Tier 4f, CANMET, MSHA engine developing 160 kW. All these grader models have advanced automatic hydraulically operated blade shock absorbers to give the machines increased ability to avoid impact damage normally associated with hard mining conditions. It means that the middle blade moves up to 10 cm upwards without jumping the motor grader itself when driven over materials too hard to grade down at the desired level, for example, rocks that protrude over the road level. When needed, the system can be switched off. IM A Veekmas FG 7 C grader at work underground facilitated. Operator friendliness has been improved thanks to new controls and joysticks which are located ergonomically. The FG 5 C has a height of 1,990 mm, maximum outer turning radius of 4,900 mm with a front blade, total weight of 9,000 kg, and three engine alternatives: Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 EU Stage IV, EPA Tier 4 with 90 kW; Mercedes-Benz OM 904 LA EU Stage IIIA, EPA Tier 3, MSHA with 90 kW; Deutz BF4M 2012 EU Stage II with 75 kW. The somewhat larger Veekmas FG 7 C has a height of 2,460 mm, maximum outer turning radius of 4,950 mm with a font blade, total weight of 9,800 kg, and Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 EU Stage IV engine, EPA Tier 4 developing 90 kW or alternatively Mercedes-Benz OM 904 LA EU Stage IIIA, EPA Tier 3, MSHA developing 90 kW, Deutz BF4M2012 EU Stage II, EPA Tier 2, MSHA developing 75 kW. The FG 15 C, the largest machine UG motor grader model has a height of 2,760 mm, Pictured here, Pillar Innovations’ EMU-ALR (electrically powered and here is ambulance format) is a modified version of the popular EMU-LR (Low Rider), designed for 1.14 m seams. The EMU-ALT is available for mines with a height of approximately 1.8 m and above. 26 – 28 June | Hillhead Quarry | Buxton | Derbyshire | UK 3 Days | Live Demonstrations Register free today at hillhead.com | 500 Exhibitors | Free Entry #Hillhead18
