SPECIFICATIONS

INTENT:

Y N 1. It is the intent of these specifications to describe a hydraulically operated, telescoping knuckleboom trash loader to be used in the collection of oversize trash items such as discarded appliances, furniture, brush, leaves, building materials, etc. In this configuration, the loader is intended to be mounted directly behind the cab of a long wheelbase cab chassis, along with a trash dump body. This arrangement provides a complete, one man operated, turn-key system.

PEDESTAL ASSEMBLY:

Y N 1. Must be an open A-frame type to allow flexing under repeated load shocks. Total height not to exceed 7 ft. from mounting plate to top of pedestal/main boom connection point.

Y N 2. Swing post to be single piece high strength solid steel (ASTM 4140) turning in (ASTM-

D4020-81) cast nylon bearings. Welded spindle/head assembly is to be stress relieved prior to installation.

Y N 3. Boom rotation to be accomplished by a direct drive, Dinamic Oil, RE 1533 TS SPEC 60.5

MR, 270-degree planetary gearbox powered by a hydraulic motor, with a torque rating of at least 251,064 in. lbs. This enclosed gearbox must be 100% oil bath which eliminates the lubrication labor and the metal-to-metal wear found in open, exposed pinion and bull gear design. To prevent spindle bending moments from being transmitted to enclosed gearbox, the gearbox must be mounted by means of a torque arm assembly.

BOOM CONSTRUCTION:

Y N 1. Main boom must be comprised of two ea., 4 in. x 8 in. x 3/8 in. thick high tensile steel tubes connected to each other only at their center line to allow a shock absorbing flexing action of the boom. Main boom must have a minimum of 1,200 PSI down pressure on the main boom for compacting loads.

Y N 2. Tip boom to have an extendible/retractable telescopic section controllable from the operator's platform. Must have mechanical stops to prevent cylinder stress.The inner and outer sleeves of the telescopic section must be separated by replaceable cast nylon wear blocks on all sides to prevent metal-to-metal wear. Hydraulic hoses for the telescopic section must be enclosed in steel box for protection. No exposed tip extension hoses shall be permitted.

LIFTING CAPACITIES:

Y N 1. Boom radius is measured from the center of rotation to the center of the bucket. Capacities shown must not exceed 85% of vehicle tipping moment, with machine level and outriggers fully extended. Weight of bucket and/or attachments to boom must be subtracted from lift capacities shown. (Bucket should weigh approximately 1,000 lbs.)

Boom Radius Lift Capacity

10 ft. 7,100 lbs.

16 ft. 4,400 lbs.

20 ft. 3,200 lbs.

BOOM CONECTION POINTS:

Y N 1. Boom connection points must be equipped with replaceable cast nylon or bronze bushings and a 2 in. bolt with castellated nut to prevent spreading of the connection pivot point.

TRASH BUCKET:

Y N 1. Must be a special municipal trash bucket actuated by a single double-acting cylinder. The bucket shall be capable of continuous rotation with no need for physical stops. Bucket rotation to be accomplished by a continuous rotation bucket motor with 5,500 in. lbs. torque rating. Bucket must have the capability to be rolled over on the load without damage to any components. This allows a maximum load and keeps boom height within acceptable limits.

Bucket must also have a minimum reach of 9 feet below grade to allow pick up of items over bridges and in ditches.

Y N 2. The bucket must incorporate: a 3/16-inch smooth steel clamshell scoop for leaves and sand.

a minimum of 5 ribs per side to handle branches, logs and appliances. a trample ram in the center for compressing trash in body .

Y N 3. The bucket must be 4 ft. long with an opened width of 5 ft. between pickup blades. These blades must be high impact, tempered steel that form a reverse curve in the closed position to help prevent "scalping" and digging of grass lawns. No hydraulic hoses below bucket rotator will be allowed.

POWER SOURCE:

Y N 1. To be a transmission mounted power take off coupled directly to the hydraulic pump (no drive shafts).

Y N 2. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, the power source shall be a "Hot Shift" PTO.

"Hot Shift" automatically disengages the PTO when the truck is placed in gear and reengages when the truck is placed back in neutral (ready for hydraulic operation). This eliminates the possibility of damage to the hydraulic components that could result if the operator drives the vehicle with the PTO in gear. Also provides for smooth engagement of

PTO with no gnashing or grinding of gears.

Y N 3. Must be equipped with overspeed protection (with the exception of a manual transmission).

Over-speeding the pump causes the hydraulic fluid to overheat. Overspeed protection prevents damage to engine, hydraulic system, and major system components resulting from over-speeding the engine. All electrical connections are to be chassis manufactures specifications
