Vac-Tron Equipment

Introduces LP 533/833 XDT

V

ac-Tron

Equip-

ment, an

innovation leader in

industrial vacuums,

potholing, daylight-

ing, hydro excava-

tion, air excavation,

and environmental clean-up equipment, has introduced the

new LP 533/833 XDT. Powered by a 24-horsepower Kohler

diesel engine, the XDT is a unit with similar performance

specs as the pre-Tier 4 final DT model. It is Tier 4 compliant

and competitively priced in the market.

This machine features the new Series 33 Safety Rear Door.

The hydraulic screw rear door offers a high torque motor

with a self-adjusting threaded shaft designed for low mainte-

nance and easy operation. It opens to a full 90-degree angle

and is equipped with a safety lock that engages automati-

cally.

The XDT features CVS Filtration Housing. The LP ground

level filtration housing also incorporates a 28-inch-diameter

cyclone, four-way valve for reverse pressure, and a large

silencer for quiet performance. Patent pending.

The XDT has an Optional Strong Arm to help support the

weight of the vacuum hose. It has 6-inch Debris Discharge

Valve for quickly off-loading liquid materials by gravity or

under pressure to another container. The easy-access engine

compartment aids service and regular maintenance of all

components.

Cat Introduces E2 Series

Mini Hydraulic Excavators

C

aterpillar has announced that the five compact radius

Cat E2 Series Mini Hydraulic Excavators (303.5E2,

304E2, 305E2, 305.5E2, and 308E2) will all be

produced at the company’s new 850,000-square-foot facility

in Athens, Ga., and will also use the new High Definition

Hydraulic system.

The E2 models are designed to carry on the solid per-

formance of their E Series predecessor, while adding even

greater value. For example, the new High Definition Hydrau-

lic System provides a load-sensing and flow-sharing capabili-

ty leading to operational precision, efficient performance, and

greater controllability. The simple valve architecture reduces

heat, which leads to a reduction in hydraulic instability and

improved overall efficiency.

The 305.5E2, 305E2, 304E2 and 303.5E2 all include a rede-

signed operator station, with a wider opening, a high-quality

suspension seat, easy-to-adjust arm rests, and an overall im-

proved ergonomic layout for operator comfort and productiv-

ity.

All the E2 series models are equipped with the digital

control panel specially designed for Cat Mini Excavators,

COMPASS—Complete Operation, Maintenance, Performance,

and Security System. Built into the COMPASS monitor are an

anti-theft system, an automatic engine-idle selection, and an

adjustable auxiliary-flow control for work tools. Both main-

line and optional secondary auxiliary-hydraulic systems can

be adjusted on a scale of 1-15 through the monitor for added

control.

The E2 Series models continue to include the standard

features and benefits customers expect. For example, auto-

matic two-speed, 100 percent pilot controls, superior bucket

rotation, blade float, and safety are built into every Cat mini

excavator.

F

S3 Inc. will be hosting its third annual “Going to the

Dogs” charity golf event on June 24 in Annandale,

Minn. Thanks to the great support and participation

of many PCCA members, associates, and even a few competi-

tors, FS3 has raised money for the Animal Humane Societies

and shelters.

The “Going to the Dogs” event is tons of fun and gets bet-
