An improved fiber cable pulling winch attachment for an excavator. The winch attachment has a pair of bucket mounts that are attached to an excavator's bucket. A Y-shaped mount that is mounted on the bucket mounts. A hydraulic motor and spool attachment that is inserted within the Y-shaped mount. And a hydraulic motor and spool that are secured on the hydraulic motor and spool attachment, wherein the spool and the hydraulic motor are operatively connected to each other.

An apparatus for dispersing liquid flame retardant mixtures mounts in the bucket of mine scoop. The apparatus has a housing which is generally sized to fit within a mine scoop bucket while leaving space in the bucket for moving mine material. The housing has a reservoir within it for holding a fire prevention mixture. The mixture is a liquid mixture and the apparatus has a motor, pump, tubes, and nozzles for dispersing the fire prevention mixture. The apparatus accommodates a hydraulic cylinder for moving the mixture dispersing apparatus back and forth within the scoop bucket. The hydraulic cylinder is operated to position the nozzles for dispersing the liquid. Some embodiments of the apparatus have a front face with scraper blade elements that operate as a scraper blade similar to scraper blades in scoop buckets that do not have the apparatus in place.

The present subject matter relates to a multi-tine lifting implement, which, when mounted on a vehicle such as a skid steer loader, can pry and lift objects such as concrete or asphalt slabs or pavement, pieces of concrete or asphalt, rocks, shrubs, small trees, and the like. The implement has removeable sides, and a top portion that is removeable and replaceable with a grapple. Tines may be supported by reinforced sleeves.

A flow rate control apparatus for construction equipment includes: a boom cylinder driven by hydraulic fluid; a first control valve for controlling a hydraulic fluid flow supplied to the boom cylinder; an option actuator driven by hydraulic fluid; a second control valve for controlling a hydraulic fluid flow supplied to the option actuator; a boom cylinder manipulation lever and an option actuator manipulation lever; a confluence line selectively confluence the hydraulic fluid supplied to the boom cylinder with the hydraulic fluid of the option actuator; a center bypass switching valve provided at the furthest downstream side of a fluid supply path of the first hydraulic pump; a confluence switching valve selectively opening and closing the confluence line; a confluence selection valve applying a pilot pressure to the confluence switching valve; and a controller for controlling the confluence selection valve.

An attachment for use with a bucket of a prime mover comprises a base member having fixed shape in a longitudinal direction of the base member between first and second ends with first and second pivoting members pivotally connected at the first and second ends of the base member, each actuated for pivotal movement about a respective transverse axis by a distinct actuator. The second pivoting member forms a base for releasably receiving different attachment ends such as a secondary arm member carrying a respective pivoting member independently actuated of the base member's pivoting members that is disposed on a secondary arm member end distal to a connection end thereof for connecting to the base member, an extension member without any actuators and pivoting members, and a tool section which is designed for carrying out a specific function.

A grapple-heel rack having a frame, a grapple, and first and second angle-enabler catches. A grapple attachment (which may be or may include a universal joint) may be used to support the grapple from a nose of the frame. A mechanical grapple return system may be used to return the grapple from a non-neutral position to a neutral position. At least one method for using the grapple-heel rack.

A system and a method configured to produce a precisely fitted attachment blade and a corresponding excavator scoop and templates configured to produce a precisely fitted attachment blade and a corresponding excavator scoop. Thus a transportation requirements to a construction site can be significantly reduced. Furthermore attachment blades for particular excavator scoops can be produced quickly for particular excavator scoops and excavator scoops can be configured with tooth holders. Furthermore existing attachment blades and excavator scoops can be regenerated quickly when service is required.

A shovel having a machine guidance function or a machine control function includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, a cab mounted on the upper turning body, an attachment attached to the upper turning body, a display device provided in the cab, and a control device configured to guide or automatically assist an operation of the shovel according to a target value that is preset. The control device is configured to display geometric information on the display device using information on two end positions of the attachment at two points of time, and to set the target value based on the information on the two end positions.

The present invention is directed to levelling apparatus, typically as used on tractors, excavators and skid-steer vehicles, and references the levelling assembly and mounting options including directly to the existing blade of vehicles as well as other mounting arrangements. Preferred embodiments of a levelling apparatus include a blade body portion and body mounting portion connected by an arrangement of fixed and adjustable linkages, preferably hydraulic, to allow movement of the blade body portion (relative to the body mounting portion) in substantially an up and down direction, as well as rotational movement about an axis perpendicular to the general plane of an attached blade.

A bucket for an industrial vehicle configured to load, move, transport, tip and spread a bulk material. The bucket includes two lateral panels extending on each side of a loading panel having a loading edge and an unloading edge. The bucket includes a support panel, an opening panel, an adjuster and a fixing attachment. The adjuster includes a rotationally movable roller situated under the bucket and configured to turn in the direction of rotation of the wheels of the vehicle and to rest on the ground during spreading. The fixing attachment is configured to be fixed to the vehicle and is housed in a vertical translational movable space configured to leave travel for vertical translational movement. The fixing attachment is configured to rotationally move about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the support panel so as to turn the bucket relative to the ground.
