Integrated Tool Carriers Offer Optimal Visibility

The concept of integrated tool carrier has changed the construction equipment. Backhoes, loaders, excavators and other machines are no longer a single function machines. When equipped with couplers, these construction machines can be converted into versatile machines capable to perform and to complete various construction tasks. By installing different integrated tool carrier attachments, the construction machines provide greater flexibility and visibility for the operators, in order to complete all of their daily tasks.

Contractors and operators today are looking for machines that offer greater flexibility, productivity and visibility. The equipment manufacturers around the world are investing significant resources towards designing and engineering useful attachments that fit and operate well on the machines on which are used. Excavators, wheeled loaders and backhoes are being upgraded with couplers that allow many different integrated tool carrier attachments to be added. The integrated tool carrier is certainly the machine to be used at every construction site, because it offers greater productivity, flexibility and visibility for the operator.

There are many advantages and benefits that can be gained by using the integrated tool carrier. Some of them are the following ones:

• Quick integrated coupler that allows for fast tool replacements and changes
• Broad range of available tools that can be used for different applications
• Greater height and reach
• Excellent load control by the high tilt force
• Greater visibility for the operator

The manufacturers of the integrated tool carriers every year are improving their machines in order to provide more productivity, versatility and of course to provide excellent visibility for the operator. Therefore, many classic models like the wheeled loaders have been redesigned and upgraded by having the operator needs in mind. By understanding the importance and the need for excellent visibility, the manufacturers are upgrading their machines, so that a greater visibility and versatility can be provided for the operator. By evaluating the placement of the components and by rerouting the hydraulic lines, the integrated tool carrier increases the operator line of sight substantially. By providing more clear lines of sight and viewing area, different attachments can be used and changed quickly and the operator can lift and move materials from the ground in a more safe and secure manner.

Additionally, the buckets of the integrated tool carrier have been expanded greatly. A wider bucket selection enables the operator of the integrated tool carrier to closely match the density of the materials for optimal productivity. In addition to the buckets, the manufacturers continue to develop new and innovative tools for the integrated tool carrier.

The structural strategic changes that have been made into the design of the construction machines allow for higher work capabilities and stability, while at the same time without reducing the performance and the responsiveness. The end result is higher productivity on the job site.
