Abstract: A joint secured to a manipulator for movably supporting a tool(s) for conducting operations, particularly those in the field is hydraulic to be robust in varied environmental conditions and/or provide sufficient power. The joint includes a base to secure the joint to the manipulator, an adapter to secure a tool to the joint, components movably joined together in close proximity with each other between the base and the adapter to define three non-parallel axes of movement for the adapter wherein two of the axes always intersect a third of the axes, and hydraulically-driven actuators to selectively move and hold the components about the axes.

Abstract: Shredder hammers having first and second major surfaces on opposing sides, and a circumferential edge. A mounting portion includes a mounting hole that extends from the first major surface to the second major surface, and is configured to receive a hammer mounting pin for mounting in a reducing system. The circumferential edge includes a primary impact face to initially impact materials to be reduced and a wear edge to subsequently crush and shear the material against a wall of the equipment. The hammer is biased forward on the pin to admit more material to be crushed between the wear edge and the grates.

Abstract: A torque applying apparatus includes a hydraulically-driven power source that is adjustable for bi-directional rotation, an input portion configured to receive torque from a power source and having a first rotational axis, an output portion configured to provide torque to a rotating component and having a second rotational axis, and a force-multiplying mechanism connecting the input portion to the output portion. The second rotational axis is parallel to and laterally offset from the first rotational axis.

Abstract: A ground-engaging wear part for earth working equipment that includes a cap received in an opening to overlie a lock and/or sensor. The cap may engage a lock to facilitate movement of the lock or a lock component without needing to remove the cap, protect an underlying sensor and/or limit the ingress of fines.

Abstract: A wear assembly for securing a wear member to excavating equipment that includes a base having a nose and a wear member having a socket. The nose and socket are each provided with one or more complementary stabilizing surfaces in central portions thereof.

Abstract: A lifting connector to facilitate the lifting of wear parts used on earthmoving equipment is mechanically secured to a hole in the wear part. The wear part has a latching formation to maintain the head of the connector in a preferred orientation so that it is in the proper service position for connecting the lifting connector to a lifting device. The wear part can be safely maneuvered onto and off of the earthmoving equipment while secured to the lifting device.
