Talbert Manufacturing’s new 50CC/RP Hybrid
Trailer combines the attributes of a close couple
lowbed design with a roller paver model, offering
ca
t h a longer loading incline and best-in-class lift capacugh
e
t our ey
ity, according to the manufacturer. With a deck length
of 26 feet, there is space for full construction fleet loads. A specially designed
slope from the bottom up creates a more moderate incline over a greater distance, about one-third of the deck length. Finish height at the front of the main
beams is 8 3/4 inches. The trailer features a bolt-on ramp for a more gradual
load angle at the rear; 15 degrees rather than the standard 35-degree angle.
The 50-ton capacity 50CC/RP offers a deck width of 8 feet, 6 inches and a
low deck height of 20 inches. Write 10 on reader card.

Designed to deliver higher operating efficiency for midsize and heavy
reversible plate compactors, BOMAG’s Economizer feature provides
real-time soil stiffness results. The new technology helps operators
ca
t h minimize the number of passes to complete compaction, according to
ugh
ye
t our e
BOMAG. Instead of relying on spot-checking with quality-control devices to
achieve proper material densities, the Economizer uses an acceleration sensor to
measure the stiffness of the target material across the entire compacted area. The data gathered by
the sensor is instantly displayed via a simple series of 10 yellow LED lights, allowing the operator to
react quickly and effectively to changing soil conditions. Write 11 on reader card

ASPHALT DRUM MIXERS
Single-drum counterflow technology
Asphalt Drum Mixers’ (ADM) Excalibur Series asphalt plants with single-drum counterflow technology offer high efficiency and a compact design for contractors with low to medium production needs. The asphalt plants produce 100 to
425 tons per hour, claim the longest aggregate drying and mixing times in the industry and can process high percentages
of RAP, according to ADM. There
are separate drying and mixing
zones to achieve the maximum
level of heat transfer and fuel
efficiency. ADM designed the
system to reintroduce residual
gases to the drum’s combustion
zone. The plants are available in
portable or stationary versions.

East Manufacturing
East Manufacturing’s all-aluminum Drop
Deck Trailer with a low-slung 36-inch deck
height means there is less need for partial
dismantling of the load to get it below the
13-foot, 6-inch maximum legal height, giving
haulers more flexibility in terms of the loads
that can be hauled. An added advantage of
the 36 inch drop deck height is its lower
center of gravity. This provides the trailer with
improved stability, which increases in value
the more unusual the size and shape of the
load. Write 13 on reader card
