The 450 Pit Cleaner is our smallest
model designed for the operator who wants to save time and money by doing it
himself. The 40 cubic foot hydraulic dump box carries loads up to 4000 lbs. A
dependable OHV 5.5 HP Briggs&Stratton engine drives the hydraulic pump
which provides the power for all functions of the machine. |

Easy to
Operate The operator controls the entire loading process with three
control levers. Two levers operate the two hydraulic booms while the third
opens and closes the hydraulic clam bucket. A fourth lever controls the dumping
box. All controls are positioned at the front where the operator can enjoy easy
access from the towing vehicle and where the entire loading process can be
easily observed. The hydraulic booms and bucket are lowered through the trailer
frame into the pit. It digs to a maximum depth of 6 feet below the surface. The
boom swings 36 inches from left to right for use in wide pits. |

Powerful
Hydraulic Boom & Bucket The powerful hydraulic boom and bucket
pick up the heaviest mud with ease. The 2" diameter cylinder which opens and
closes the jaws of the clam bucket operates at up to 4700 pounds of pressure,
while the 2.5" diameter cylinders which lift the hydraulic booms produce up to
7300 pounds of pressure. |
Little Maintenance Required Little maintenance is
required since the machine has few moving parts. Necessary maintenance chores
include:
- A periodic greasing of the pivot points on the boom with
a grease gun.
- Changing oil in the engine as instructed in the engine
owners manual.
- E-Z Lube Spindles. The hydraulic cylinders on the machine
carry a four year pro-rated warranty. The engine service is available in any
small engine shop.
