Tire handler attachments offer easy, safe tire removal
Manitou’s Tire Handler attachments are designed for use on the company’s MHT telescopic handlers. The Tire Handler attachments are available in four sizes, with capacities ranging from 5,512 to 26,455 pounds, and offer safe tire removal and fast changes in mining environments. The attachments can be safely controlled from the cab, with each movement activated by two operator actions (a button, plus joystick), or with the machine’s remote control for better visibility.

New hydraulic breaker line suitable for multiple applications
Blue Diamond Attachments introduced its line of hydraulic breakers, designed for construction, demolition and quarry applications, including underwater jobs. The comprehensive line includes 12 models that are compatible with excavators, mini-skids, skid steers and compact track loaders. Blue Diamond says the lineup has models available for equipment ranging from 1,500-pound mini track loaders to 55-ton class excavators. The breakers feature a solid mono-block design milled from a single piece of steel, rather than assembled sections. All Blue Diamond breakers feature a vibration-dampening system made of a polyurethane shell that wraps around the mono-block and sits inside the steel outer casing. The company says this significantly reduces vibration transfer to the host machine and protects hydraulic components, pins and bushing from excessive wear while improving operator comfort.
