Cougar Vibration to showcase truck vibrators
Company will highlight their range of vibrators at NTEA Work Truck Show
Cougar Vibration will be highlighting their extensive series of 12V and 24V truck vibrators at this year’s NTEA Work Truck Show, to be held 8-10 March at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. The company will feature a product line that covers long-haul trucks and vibrators for dumptrucks, mixer trucks and spreaders.
Cougar truck vibrators are designed to help drivers ensure complete emptying of bulk materials, reducing the need for personnel to enter dump beds for manual cleanout.
Truck vibrators also increase productivity by helping to eliminate carry-back, giving drivers more payload per cycle and fewer cycles per job. The result is reduced fuel costs, labour expenses and vehicle wear. A properly placed and installed vibrator also saves cleanout time and helps to evenly distribute material when spreading.
Vibrators also help prevent unnecessary vehicle damage that can result from attempts to fully evacuate the material. By avoiding the sudden stops and starts commonly used to help break loose a stubborn load, vibration can reduce wear on clutches, brakes and transmissions. It also reduces the opportunity for damage to tailgates and truck beds from equipment used to remove residual material.
The entire family of 12V and 24V vibrators from Cougar Vibration is built with shielded, oversized, permanently lubricated ball bearings to deliver long service life. All models are sealed against dirt, dust and water intrusion for reliability in extreme service conditions. The small size and light weight of the high-speed, low-amperage electric motors contribute to easy, low-cost installation and efficient operation.
One of the models the company will showcase at the NTEA event is the DC-3200, a powerful, heavy-duty design for dumptrucks with a capacity of 10-15 yards, live-bottom tandem dumptrucks that carry 15-30 yards, as well as large spreaders and vacuum trucks. The unit delivers 4,000 vibration cycles per minute (vpm) with 3,200 pounds of force, whilst drawing just 85A from the 12V model and 62A from the 24V version.
Also on hand at the NTEA event will be the Cougar Vibration DC-80, a compact unit well suited for tailgate spreaders and pull-behind units, as well as mixer trucks. Available in a 12V version only, the DC-80 delivers 4,000 VPM, while pulling just 5 amps. The company will also feature mid-sized designs for sweeper trucks and industrial vacuums.
