John Deere Construction & Forestry
J
ohn Deere Construction & Forestry has expanded its
new Interim Tier 4-certified (IT4) G-Series hydrau-
lic excavator line with three new models. At 47
metric tons, the 470G LC is a 367-hp unit perfect for
large commercial excavating projects and roadbuilding. The
67-metric-ton 463-hp 670G LC and the 87-metric-ton 532-hp
870G LC are tailor-made for mass excavating or truck-loading
applications.
Each of the three new G-Series excavators features rug-
ged, field-proven IT4/EU Stage IIIB diesel engines, enabling
operators to work anywhere jobs are available, including
non-attainment areas.
“In addition to the need to work everywhere, customers
also told us that they needed greater production capabilities
from their excavators and more room in the cab for more
comfort,” said Mark Wall, Deere’s excavator product market-
ing manager.
“We’ve delivered more hydraulic flow for faster work cy-
cles and greater productivity, and a comfortable and spacious
cab with a larger entryway and more legroom,” Wall said.
“We also enhanced the LCD monitor in the cab to simplify
navigation.”
By using the LCD monitor’s rotary control, operators have
quick access to operating information such as engine rpm
and oil temperature, and they can easily check maintenance
intervals, adjust cab temperature, tune the radio, and select
work modes.
Altec Industries
T
he Altec crane line features optimal safety fea-
tures that comply with the new OSHA crane stan-
dards to provide safe working environments. The
AC23-95B boom truck crane features out-and-
down outriggers that allow for increased productivity during
setup in confined areas with short-span, mid-span, and
full-span load charts. The outriggers can be controlled at the
crane control console or at ground level within direct sight of
the outrigger shoe (cribbing) contact zone. This allows the
operator to see the outrigger touch-down and ensure ground
personnel are safe and clear of a potential crush hazard.
From the control station, operators can safely access the bed
through the walk-through control consoles while maintaining
three points of contact. This helps to prevent potential slip-
