NEW EQUIPMENT NEWS
Caterpillar is adding the new Cat C13B 12.5ℓ engine to its industrial
engine range. The engine will leverage a proven, reliable core of
components with over 68 million hours of real-world experience and
complementary technology to the C9.3B platform that was launched in
2016 and is nearing production. The six-cylinder engine combines upgraded
air, electrical and aftertreatment systems to produce a range of powers
from 340kW to 430kW and up to 2640Nm of torque out of a package
that is 30% lighter than previous models at these performance levels.
The C13B will be offered in a number of configurations. Engine mounted
afterteatment (EMAT) and full Industrial Power Unit (IPU) configurations
are offered out of the factory in Texas, US, while remote mounted
aftertreatment is also possible.
JLG Industries has partnered with Continental to provide JLG customers with the
TeleMaster solution: a solid, flat-proof tyre designed to meet the specific demands of
telehandlers. Available as an option on select JLG and SkyTrak telehandlers, the three-
layer TeleMaster is made of highly specialised rubber compounds that work together to
offer a comfortable ride, excellent traction, and longer service life for lower total cost
of ownership. The tyre’s inner layer combines damping properties with a low rolling
resistance value, which contributes to a comfortable ride, reduced delamination, and
low heat build-up for reduced wear. Reinforced sidewalls protect against punctures and
cuts, and the tyre’s non-directional tread pattern means fewer assembly combinations
and reduced inventory carrying costs. TeleMaster tyres also feat ure a distinctive centre
rib. The circumferential rib tread pattern ensures high traction in both directions and
promotes self-cleaning when used on sites with mud or gravel.

most existing brackets. The
unit has a specially designed
mounting base with three
holes on each of the four legs,
which permits selection of four
different mounting patterns. With
a 254mm pigtail cord ending in
a two-prong plug, the unit fits
most truck electrical systems. n
reduces demand on the vehicle’s
electrical system.
Weighing only 8kg, the unit
features a more compact design
than comparable vibrators on
greater durability, and the GSV520
features a redesigned bushing at the
hinge point. Also, solid-hinge-point
construction and more robust end
stops further promote durability, and
a solid-pin design keeps mounting
brackets in an upright position for
ease of installation. The GSV520
also features a standard lifting
eye on the bottom of the housing
for expanded versatility, such as
mounting a magnet, as well as the
new HR rotator that reduces internal
restrictions and results in lower fuel
consumption. n
Compatible with most standard brackets, the Cougar MDC12-
400/700 vibrators offer powerful bulk material movement for
concrete pump trucks, salt/sand/gravel/fertiliser spreader trucks,
and volumetric mixer trucks.
The new 12 VDC vibrator delivers
superior performance with long-
lasting reliability.

Martin Engineering has
introduced a 12 VDC electric
vibrator that combines superior
performance with long-lasting
reliability to improve material
flow in specialised hauling and
distribution vehicles. Cougar
MDC12-400/700 vibrators offer
powerful bulk material movement
for concrete pump trucks, salt/
sand/gravel/fertiliser spreader
trucks, and volumetric mixer
trucks and can be retrofitted to
most standard brackets.
The high-efficiency design
uses less current and runs at
a lower temperature, while
retaining the same power as
comparable models, resulting
in longer equipment life with
lower operating and maintenance
costs. Powered by a high
efficiency 12-volt DC motor with
a maximum draw of 13 amps,
