Abstract: A handling system for handling ground-engaging wear parts used on earth working equipment includes handling tools to remove and handle wear parts from equipment and/or to install new wear parts. The tools can include a gripping system to engage and disengage a wear part for installation and removal. The gripping system allows an operator to more easily grip a wear part and allows for various shapes and sizes of wear parts.

Abstract: A handling system for handling ground-engaging wear parts used on earth working equipment includes handling tools to remove and handle wear parts from equipment and/or to install new wear parts. The tools can include a torque or other tool to engage and/or disengage a lock retained by the wear member. The handling system allows an operator maintain a distance from heavy parts being removed or installed, reducing the risk of injury.

Abstract: A system and tool for monitoring earth working equipment for such things as part identification, cracks, deformation, presence, operational limits, equipment faults, equipment proximity violations, locate system sensors, condition, usage, and/or performance of the products on earth working equipment used, for example, in mining, construction, and/or dredging environments.

Abstract: A wear member and fastener for securing the wear member to earth working equipment. The fastener can be installed and maintained from the top of the assembly. An eccentric retainer is received in a recess of the wear member and is rotated to shift the wear member rearward on the earth working equipment. A bolt passing through aligned openings of the earth working equipment and the wear member is received by the retainer to secure the wear member to the earth working equipment.

Abstract: A handling apparatus for conducting in-field operations such as removing and/or installing wear parts on earth working equipment along a controlled path. The apparatus can include a crane, a joint having three axes of articulation and a tool.

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: 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.
