Lake Erie Portable Screeners has introduced a portable box screener as a smaller alternative to the Pitbull 2300. The Pitbull 2300B has no conveyors and features a smaller frame.

Although the new 2300B model is simpler, lighter and more compact than the larger version, Lake Erie Portable Screeners says it delivers high outputs with a wide range of materials, including topsoil, mulch, gravel, stone and asphalt.

The manufacturer says it’s targeting small to midsize contractors in the landscaping industry, as well as companies in construction and excavation.

Lake Erie Portable Screeners will feature the Pitbull 2300B and 2300 March 7-11 at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017 in Las Vegas.

“We want to make sure our product is attainable to everyone who could benefit from it. That’s why we created an entry-level machine for smaller contractors and rental centers,” said Stuart Foradora, Lake Erie Portable Screeners factory representative. “The 2300B has the same screening rate and durability as the 2300 but in a smaller, more economical package.”

The 2300B has a smaller hydraulic system than its predecessor and is powered by a 21.5-horsepower Honda two-cylinder gasoline engine.

The screening plant incorporates an anti-spill loading apron that accepts as much as 3 cubic yards of material at a time, depending on the feed rate. With its low dump height of 8 feet, 4½ inches, operators do not need loading ramps; they can fill the hopper using typical construction equipment, such as skid steers, backhoes, loaders or excavators.

While the screening rate remains the same as with the larger 2300, the 2300B deposits the screened material into a large, open space below the screener rather than onto a conveyor belt.

The 7,300-pound machine can be towed with a Class 3 truck; the larger 2300 requires a Class 4 truck.

The portable screening plant has an upper and lower screening deck, each providing more than 41 square feet of screening area.

Adapter puts ‘universal’ attachment on standard skid steer

Wsr Ss To Mini Universal Adapter 835215A new adapter from Worksaver Inc. is designed to allow “universal” mini skid steer or compact tool carrier attachments to be connected to a standard skid steer.

The adapter mounts to a standard skid steer and accepts attachments with the “universal mini mount,” which is found on machines from Toro, Boxer, Ditch Witch and RAMROD.

The new adapter allows operators to easily switch attachments between a mini skid steer and standard skid steer, Worksaver says, providing greater versatility with respect to attachment options.

Bosch offers new cordless floodlights

If you’ve been searching for more light on the jobsite but want to avoid the hassle of carrying around a giant light source, Bosch says it has the answer with the introduction of GLI18V-1900 and GLI18V-1900 C Floodlights.
