4/7/2008 (Press Release)

The industry has talked and we have listened. IMC unveiled its new models for the Construction and Mining industries in April 2008; the 18GECS and 21GECS. Both of these models will provide the capacity these industries require while operating less than twelve total feet.

IMC is very excited about the 21GECS. One customer stated that this scraper is the “Future in Earthmoving”.This scraper has 21 yds³ heaped capacity while delivering a cutting width of 10.5’ and operating width of 11’11”. This is by far the widest cutting width available for scrapers operating under 12’. Other scrapers with this yard capacity usually have a total operating width of 14’ or more. This causes problems with transportation from job site to job site. The IMC GECS21 can now be transported without having to purchase and wait for escorts for oversized loads.

The IMC GE scrapers are unique to the industry because of its tough and reliable “Scissor Ejection” technology. IMC’s scissor ejection is far superior to other ejection systems. This technology relies on one six inch cylinder that extends/retracts the “Scissor Assembly”. The “Scissor” always remains “true” meaning the ejector wall moves evenly discharging the soil from the bowl. Many other scraper ejection systems rely on multiple cylinders, rollers, tracks and guides that must always work perfectly together. If those systems get out of line, for any reason, the ejection system can twist, bend or break which can lead to expensive repairs and extended downtime.
