Scalers Can Maneuver in Tight Spaces
NPK Construction Equipment announced
that it will begin marketing Paus scaling
machines in the U.S.—primarily Paus’
model 853 S8 and 1253 S10 scalers
equipped with NPK’s GH-2S tunneling
hammers. According to Germany-based
Paus, the 853 S8 and 1253 S10 are a new
breed of scaler, designed and built for lower
ceilings and narrower spaces underground
without sacrificing operator safety. The
scalers offer articulated steering, combined
with a pivoting boom to give the operator
nearly limitless maneuverability at the face.
Hydrostatic drive is standard equipment on
both machines. The 853 scaler, with hammer, has a maximum vertical reach of 26 ft
(8 m) while the 1253 has a maximum reach of 32 ft (9.75 m) with hammer. With
the telescopic boom, fully guarded cab,
and ROPS/FOPS, the operator is positioned
to allow full view of the work face, but at a
safe distance from falling rock. Both
scalers are available with options such as
radio control, automatic hammer and
scaler lubrication, dust suppression via air
and water, closed cab, heated and or air
conditioned cab, and reverse “flight” mode
in case of an emergency.
