PRODUCT FOCUS
The Cangini mulcher is designed for heavy-duty operations – it is equipped with a
reinforced double-frame, while an anti-shock shielding protects the bearings.
The Cangini range
The 4-in-1 bucket is suitable for loading,
unloading and handling operations. Thanks
to its hydraulic opening, it is suitable
for various material grabbing, waste
discharge control and ground levelling
applications. Its safety check-valve allows
for safe keeping of the tool, even in case
of damage to the pipes or pressure loss
in the system. The HB400 reinforcement
stripes and cutting edge grant high
resistance against deformation of the
more stressed parts. The hydraulic system
is integrated into the body, thus protecting
pipes from damage during working.
The AR Fast Lock patented quick
coupler enables fast locking and
unlocking of the attachment tools,
considerably reducing replacement time.
The mechanical version is provided with
a semi-automatic system that requires
manual intervention when the tool has
to be released. Both the locking and
the safe blocking of the new tool are
automatic operations. In the hydraulic
version, these functions are managed
directly from the cab.
The bidirectional hydraulic auger
is equipped with a transmission with
epicyclical gearbox and double tilting
joint. A steel envelope protects the
gearbox against shocks. Its double-pin
attachment allows for perpendicular
drilling in any slope condition. The
epicyclical gearbox enables high
performances, even with machines with
low hydraulic flowrates.
The broom sweeper for excavators
is suitable for cleaning of horizontal and
vertical surfaces and for areas where
machines with frontal attachments
cannot reach. It is equipped with
stabilising shoes to safeguard brushes

when the broom is set to the ground.
It comes with standard throttle valves
and pressure relief valves. The direct
drive engine with disk gearbox is placed
inside the brush shaft to reduce the tool’s
operating overall width.
The CR Twin Lock patented reversible
quick coupler enables fast locking and
unlocking of the attachment tools,
considerably reducing the time for their
replacement. The mechanical version is
provided with a semi-automatic system
that requires manual intervention when
the tool has to be released. Both the
locking and the safe blocking of the new
tool are automatic operations. In the
hydraulic version all these functions are
managed directly from the cab.
The Twist 180° is a bi-directional
hydraulic actuator which enables tilting of
tools or quick couplers up to an angle of
90° and to simplify the digging operations
even in places that are difficult to reach.
Meanwhile, the extension arm is
particularly suited for operation in areas
where the tool carrier’s standard range
of action is not sufficient. The extension
arm is supplied as a ‘partly completed
machinery’.
Cangini’s jointed brush is used mostly
with excavators. “It is made of steel
bristles and therefore it is ideal for deep
cleaning and weed-removal of curbs,
platforms and banks and asphalted
areas. It is equipped with a standard
floating system and joint on its head,
which enables the brush to adapt to any
surface. Both positioning systems can be
blocked to a fixed position in line with the
operator’s needs,” explains Bloom.
The mixing bucket safe discharge
for excavators comes with a gearbox
transmission that delivers high
performance without the need for
continuous maintenance interventions.
The use of the dual cross relief and flow
divider valves grants effectiveness and
reliability, even in the most difficult work
conditions.
The Cangini mulcher is designed for
heavy-duty operations – it is equipped
with a reinforced double-frame, while an
anti-shock shielding protects the bearings.
It also comes with standard Y blades with
intermediate knife or hammers. Maximum
back-pressure allowed is 10 bar, therefore
TC mulchers do not require any drainage
line in most of the cases.
Cangini’s new multi-screening
bucket – with a new rotary double drum
design for machines up to 30 tonnes – is
suitable for selection duties on turned
soils and resulting materials. The material
size change, from 25 to 60mm and up
to 65mm for the VMS20-VMS30, is
controlled directly and hydraulically from
the cab without replacing any mechanical
piece, thus reducing the working times
considerably.
The screening bucket is ideal for grading
of bulk materials from demolition and
digging works and the mixing of terrain and
peat. “The screening operation is carried
out by a hydraulic sieve with rotating
HB400 knives. The material thickness can
vary from 0 to 20mm, to 0 to 35mm with
standard equipment. Customise shafts can
also be supplied,” explains Bloom.
The sharp-cut branch cutter bar is
suitable for tree pruning up to 100mm.
When pruning, it does not harm the plant,
because it cuts sharply and precisely
without uprooting the branch. The bar’s
blades in HB450 grant resistance and
extended useful life.
Why attachments?
The Cangini range complements Smith
Power’s extensive fleet of machines.
According to Bloom, Smith Power
distributes several brands that will work
well with this range of attachments.
These include Kubota’s range of TLBs and
compact excavators, as well as the AUSA
range of telehandlers, among others.
“Cangini’s extensive range of
attachment solutions eliminates the need
for our customers to purchase additional
machines. These attachments can make
their fleets more versatile, as they can
adjust each piece to accommodate
changing applications on many different
sites. If one is digging with a backhoe
one day and transporting materials via
a fork the next, they can diversify one
machine to perform the task of many,”
concludes Bloom.
