Skid steer loaders are four-wheel vehicles with the wheels mechanically locked in synchronization on each side, and the left-side drive wheels can be driven independently of the right-side drive wheels. It can load earth into a truck, dig and move landscaping and building materials, clean roads, grind asphalt, clear the road from snow, and serve many other purposes.

How To Operate A HAMAC–One Step At A Time

Starting the HAMAC

Enter the machine using the handles located on the front of the cab
Pull the safety roll cage down
Turn the key one position to the right and listen for the beep
In the upper left corner turn the parking brake off by pushing the toggle switch to the off position.
Back on the right side, turn the key to the “On” position.
On the left side, press the green operator button to release the machine for use.
Operating the HAMAC

There are left and right foot controls that will operate the bucket
For steering the machine, there are control arms on the right and the left.  The right arm control moves the right tires. The left arm control moves the left tires.  Use both left and right arm controls together at the same time to move the machine forward and backward.
Turning Off the HAMAC

(Never exit the machine while it is running)

Turn the key, located on the top right,  to the “Stop” or “Off” position
Set your parking brake on
Lift the roll cage up
Using the handles, safely exit the machine
Safety When Operating The HAMAC

Check your surrounding before and during operating.  It is difficult to see behind and to the sides of the machine, once you are inside of the cab.  Make sure that you know what is behind you before you backup.

Do not overload the bucket.  Different machines have different weight capacities.  Check the operator manual (or ask the experts at Northside Tool Rental) for details.

Evenly distribute the load on the attachment so the loader doesn’t tip over

Lift loads slowly and evenly to keep the loader stable

Carry loads close to the ground, yet high enough to clear obstacles. When a load is carried too high, skid steer loaders are more likely to tip. It is especially important to carry the load as low as possible when turning, carrying a heavy load, travelling on a slope, or operating on rough surfaces.

Drive up and down hills, not across them. Drive slowly on slopes.

Wear proper safety protection.  Ear protection, a hard hat, and safe footwear should  be worn when operating construction equipment.

Fully automatic concrete mixing plant well reduces labor amount in construction project, and more humanized designs are added in terms of using this kind of concrete mixing plant. Then, how do we rightly operate fully automatic concrete mixing plant? Which requirements should be met for operators? The so-called full automation of concrete mixing plant means that all devices such as transporting system, batching system, mixing system and discharging system can be controlled by a computer. First of all, aggregate concrete batching is transported by belt conveyor. The pump and fly ash are transmitted by screw conveyor to be weighed. Then, in the operation process of fully automatic concrete mixing plant, water and additives are weighed by electric scale. All needed concrete materials are weighed by electric scale and made a ratio according to design process. The main concrete mixer is adjusted according the materials. When production combination starts and the materials are mixed evenly,

Currently, the strength of common used concrete is 20一40 n/mm. It is not difficult to produce the concrete of 80一100 N/mm if necessary. In order to lighten self-weight, concrete with light weight but high strength gets big development. Due to the continuous improvement of material strength, the application scope reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete is expanding. In recent 30 years, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete have achieved remarkable development in long-span structure and high-rise building structure. For instance, Germany builds a roof beam of hangar with scope of 90m by adopting prestressed lightweight concrete; the scope of bridge in Japan reaches 239 m. During this period, design theory also has new development. Since the 1970s, structural reliability theory has gradually stepped into the stage of engineering practical on the basis of mathematical statistics, which makes the limit design method more improved and scientific. In the meantime, structure
