Allied Gator has introduced
a new tip system for
itsMT range of mobile
shears in the shape of
the patented Stealth Tip,
which is designed to
provide greater piercing
performancewhile
lowering operational andmaintenance costs.
The new tip is an assembly designed to
engage and retain a pair of hard-
wearing replaceable inserts that
are fullyweld-maintainable,
allowing them to be resurfaced
and reusedmany times. The Stealth Tip
does not compromise the integrity of the shear knife
because it is an independentweld-on component that
can quickly be replaced should damage ever occur.
Lawson Group bought this Cat 374DL
