JOHN DEERE
E-II Articulated Dump Trucks
John Deere introduces the new E-II Articulated Dump Trucks (ADTs). The models, including the 410E-II and 460E-II, incorporate customer-driven features, resulting in greater operator comfort, reduced fuel burn, increased uptime and lowered daily operating costs. With a redesigned dump body, updated operator station, and new drive and transmission retarder modes, the John Deere-designed and -built E-II models deliver ultimate productivity on the job. The E-II models offer improved fuel consumption, reducing fuel burn by up to 7% when operating in Normal mode compared to the existing E-Series line. Fuel consumption is further enhanced in Eco mode, which reduces fuel burn by up to 12% compared to the E-II Normal mode. A key feature on the E-II machines is the redesigned dump body, which is wider and has a lowered and leveled rail height to improve material retention. For more, visit www.johndeere.com.

MOROOKA
Rubber Track Carrier
Introducing the Morooka MST-3000VDR rubber track carrier, with enhanced hydraulics and a larger bed. Morooka’s VDR models all feature an upper structure that can rotate 360° in either direction independently from the undercarriage and tracks. This helps users reduce surface damage that occurs when turning the machine, as well as aiding users that have limited operating space. The new MST-3000VDR is powered by a 300 hp Caterpillar C7.1 engine and can handle a maximum load of 36,000 lbs. Even so, it has a top speed of 8 mph and yet only exerts a ground pressure of 3.6-8.0 psi. The MST-3000VDR is currently available by special order only. For more, visit www.morookacarriers.com.
TOOL RIG
Toolbox
After decades of transportation experience, Tool Rig designed and patented a pickup truck toolbox focused on safety. It doesn’t occupy the truck’s valuable cargo/bed space allowing for more cargo with the tailgate safely closed without jeopardizing the driver’s view of the rear-view mirror. All gear within the toolbox is retrieved from the sides instead of employees having to climb into the bed area of the vehicle. This reduces costly slips and falls. The toolbox also protects the cab/driver from moving or shifting cargo. For more, visit www.toolrig.com.
