The Rotojec Shank – Super Duty is an enhanced version of the heavy-duty shank, designed for the most demanding industrial, agricultural, and mechanical applications. It boasts larger dimensions and stronger materials to handle even greater stresses and heavier loads than the heavy-duty variant. The Rotojec Shank – Super Duty stands out due to its enhanced size, strength, and ability to handle extreme mechanical stress, making it a go-to solution for industries that demand reliable, heavy-duty, and long-lasting components. Its increased size and sturdier design enable it to support heavy attachments, endure tough conditions, and perform consistently in high-pressure environments.
- Design: The shank has a 5-inch outer diameter (OD), making it significantly larger and more robust than standard shanks. This larger size provides superior strength and stability, allowing it to endure higher stress during operation. The body of the shank has a 6-3/4-inch outer diameter (OD), offering even more surface area for structural support, connection to other equipment, and anchoring purposes. The shank is designed with precision-threaded connections or mounting interfaces, which are highly durable and allow for secure attachment to other machinery or equipment.
- Applications:
- Agricultural Equipment: Heavy Duty Tillage & Cultivation: The Super Duty shank is ideal for use in extreme tillage operations, including deep plowing and soil cultivation, where the equipment is subjected to intense forces and abrasive conditions. High-Pressure Seeding & Fertilization: In operations that demand high-pressure application of seeds or fertilizers in tough soils, the Super Duty shank provides the necessary durability and stability to perform under these conditions.
- Mining & Heavy Excavation: Mining Equipment: This type of shank is highly suitable for use in mining rigs, drillers, and excavation machinery where it has to endure substantial pressures, shocks, and wear from interacting with hard rock or mineral deposits. Trenching & Underground Operations: The Super Duty shank is a reliable choice for trenchers and other large underground machines, handling high-impact forces and providing consistent performance in harsh conditions.
- Construction & Demolition: Heavy Excavators: The larger shank is perfect for use in construction machinery like hydraulic excavators, where it needs to anchor tools and attachments while withstanding strong digging forces. Pile Driving & Foundation Systems: This shank can be integrated into pile-driving rigs and other foundation systems, handling the immense stress of driving piles into hard ground.
- Oil & Gas Drilling: Drill Rigs: In the oil and gas industry, the Super Duty shank is used in high-performance drill rigs where it can handle the extreme forces involved in deep drilling operations, especially in tough geological formations. Offshore Platforms: For offshore drilling rigs, where equipment must perform under high pressures and corrosive environments, this shank offers the necessary strength and reliability.
- Marine & Offshore Equipment: Anchor Systems: The Super Duty shank is used in large marine anchoring systems or mooring applications where a strong connection to heavy-duty machinery is required. Offshore Construction: The shank could be part of equipment used in offshore construction, such as oil rigs or wind turbine platforms, providing anchorage and support for various tools and mechanisms in harsh marine environments.
- Heavy Machinery & Hydraulic Systems: Hydraulic Excavators and Loaders: The Super Duty design is perfect for high-torque and high-load systems, especially in large hydraulic excavators and loaders where durability and strength are critical. Industrial Lifting Equipment: It also serves in industrial lifting and material handling machines, where heavy-duty lifting capabilities are needed, such as cranes or hoists in construction or shipping operations
- Materials: Similar to heavy-duty shanks, the Super Duty variant is typically made from high-strength steel alloys or specialized heat-treated materials. These materials are chosen for their exceptional strength, wear resistance, and ability to withstand harsh environments.
