E Q U I P M E N T G A L L E RY Rugged Hydraulic System Tester Stauff Corp.'s PPC-04-plus is the latest generation in its line of handheld hydraulic-system testers. The compact mobile tester measures pressure, temperature, flow rate, frequency and speed in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. It features robust construction and an oilresistant rubber coating to withstand impact, vibration, dust and moisture (protection class up to IP67), and is designed for use in harsh conditions. It is available with either two analog sensor inputs or a CAN interface (PPC-04-plus-CAN) for connecting up to three digital sensors. www.e-mj.com According to the company, measured values can be read quickly and reliably—even in low light situations—on its multiline, backlit LCD graphic display. Using the USB port and the included software, measurement values can be transferred to the PC, where they can be displayed, analyzed and further processed. www.stauffusam.com Product Line Expands Comminution Capabilities Weir Minerals is launching a new line of comminution equipment, including crushers, screens and feeders. Addition of the Enduron range, according to the company, significantly expands its comminution solutions portfolio, and the availability of KHD HPGR equipment in conjunction with the new range of Enduron vibrating equipment will allow it to provide cost-effective comminution packages. The Enduron line of products will be sold and serviced through Weir Minerals' existing global teams and create a platform for further expansion into the crushing and screening market. www.weirminerals.com Forklift Works in Confined Spaces JCB Construction Equipment's Teletruk forklift features the strength of a telehandler and the body of a forklift, qualities that make it particularly useful for service duties in mining environments where space is limited. The Teletruk, invented by JCB in 1997, is a forklift truck with a telescopic boom instead of a vertical mast. The mastless design enables the Teletruk to completely load flatbeds or open-sided trucks from a single side, while traditional forklifts must load one side of the truck first, then travel around to the other side to complete the process. This capability, according to the company, can save time and cut up to 50% from the required loading space. The Teletruk offers fork carriage rotation of up to 111°, making it capable of loading at different angles and in restricted space, AUGUST 2013 • E&MJ; 107
