overshot loader for sale

Track loaders are a mainstay of the construction industry, and for good reason. These powerful machines can do some serious heavy lifting. But with so many different specifications to choose from, how do you determine the best model for your needs? Narrow down your options with the following guide from Stribling Equipment.

If you’re looking for more advice, feel free to ask the qualified staff at your local Stribling Equipment dealership. You can find plenty of track loaders for sale at our locations across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas.

Track loaders come in various shapes and sizes, so consider the size of your average work area to determine which size you need. Small job sites will require a more compact model that can easily navigate tight spaces. Meanwhile, large loaders can cover more ground faster, making them ideal for expansive work areas.

Your track loader is a long term investment, so remember to account for your company’s future when deciding which model to purchase. Your needs may look different in five or ten years, and a high-capacity track loader can serve you through several stages of growth.

Track loaders can be used with a wide range of attachments to tackle a variety of different jobs around the construction site. If you want to take advantage of the track loader’s versatility, just make sure to choose a model that’s compatible with all the attachments you need. Don’t forget to factor in the cost of attachments when assembling your budget.

Far from being just a matter of luxury, operator comfort is a significant factor when it comes to safety and productivity. Busy construction sites are filled with distractions, and when the operator is uncomfortable, it becomes harder to focus. This can both lower efficiency and lead to accidents. Many track loaders feature pressurized cabs for greater protection from the elements, and some models even come with heaters and air conditioners.

The cycle time was actually decreased. After taking on a load in the bucket the tractor simply moved straight back to unload. The distance between loading and unloading the bucket was usually that which was required to allow the loader to make its complete lift as the tractor moved backward to the dump point. When the operator got more proficent the machine would arrive at the dump point at, or just a second or two before the bucket unloaded. The loader on the HD5 raised fairly quickly. As such, from the time the bucket was full and operator started the unload cycle the tractor only needed to travel in reverse about 40 ft. After dumping it took that 40ft. to travel forward again and have the bucket back on the groung ready to take on the next load.

A small town near here used that same HD5 to load snow off the street after windrowing it with a grader. A truck would back into position and the loader would simply move back and forth between the windrow and the truck to load the snow. The crawler, as most crawler loaders do, had street pads on it so no damage was done to the pavement. Every once in a while the loader operator wouldn"t notice that the truck had backed up a bit and there would be this load crash when the loader smacked into the truck. The tail gate on the truck took quite a beating by the time spring rolled around. I made a few impressions on the tailgate myself.

At the gravel crusher, a dozer pushed the material into position and the loader just performed its forth and back routine to feed the cruaher. Worked great.

The Rocker Shovel Loader 12B provided a significant boost to underground mining productivity by emulating the movements of the human "mucker," the laborer who removed rubble, or "muck," from underground mines, particularly in and narrow mine tunnels. Designed in the late 1930s by Edwin Burt Royle and John Spence Finlay, employees of the Anaconda Mining Company, the first working machine was called an "overshot loader." Both men worked for the North Lilly Mine in Ureka, Utah, in the 1920s and early 1930s. Apparently prior to 1931, their machine had a heavy bucket attached to a rail car by two moveable rocker arms, and the car had air-motor powered wheels to push it into the rubble. In 1931, Joseph Rosenblatt of EIMCO, Salt Lake City, met Royle and Findlay, and shortly thereafter, Royle joined EIMCO as a consultant and designer. Where the first machine had been constructed from discarded Model T parts, EIMCO then developed it into the Model 12B that sold thousands.

The loader was operated by a worker at the side of the machine who could manipulate two controls, one for the wheels and the other for bucket travel. It was run entirely by compressed air. As the machine moved forward, the bucket (with an operating capacity of four to six cubic feet) was capable of removing up to 30 cubic feet of rubble per minute. When the bucket was full, an operator would actuate the bucket drive motor that would move the rubble upward and rearward into a mine car for removal.

Manufacturing rights were licensed to companies in Great Britain, India, South Africa and Japan. Sales expanded beyond the United States into Australia, Canada, Chile, France, Mexico, Spain, and Zambia. By 1969, 29,000 loaders had been sold. The loader in Park City is the same model used in the mine tunnels under Park City, some 1,200 miles (1931 kilometers) approximately. EIMCO Mining Machinery Intenational was sold around 1980 to the Sandvik Group (Sandvik AB), headquartered in Sandviken, Sweden under the name of Tamrock Loaders.
