RSSAllison Transmission Inc is offering a wide range of fully-automatic transmissions aimed at the construction market.

The company claims that fully-automatic transmissions deliver driving precision and reduce driver distraction in heavy-duty construction vehicles, when operating on difficult terrain and on steep slopes.

The Allison 3000 and 6000 series units suit duties in a wide range of construction applications. The smallest Allison 1000 Series is used in heavy-duty pickup trucks, while the largest 9000 Series can handle engines with up to 1678kW and a torque of 8270Nm.

Two new vehicles have been launched at INTERMAT that feature Allison’s fully-automatic transmissions; 1240 Bell’s new B30E articulated dump truck and 2490 XCMG’s 2796 Mercedes-powered XCT30CE 30tonne mobile crane. The firm claims that the products offer key benefits, such as continuous power technology and the patented torque converter, which deliver high performance, reduce downtime and minimise fuel consumption.

  • Dynapac is now offering new emission compliant soil compactors
    January 6, 2017
    Dynapac says that its new fifth generation CA single drum vibratory rollers, the CA5000, CA6000 and CA6500, offer performance upgrades over other machines. These machines have transverse-mounted engines that improve serviceability as well as optimised amplitude to boost compaction performance. A novel Active Bouncing Control is said to prevent damage to the machines as well over-compaction. High comfort cabs, good manoeuvrability and reduced noise levels and fuel consumption all help to make these machines

  • JCB emissions compliant engines to launch in wheeled loaders
    January 6, 2017
    JCB will launch 427 and 437 wheeled loaders at Bauma, powered by Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim Cummins engines. First seen in prototype form at last year’s Intermat show, the two loaders are powered by the Cummins QSB6.7 engine, which offers a 9.4% increase in torque over the previous model. This drives through a lock-up converter and customers can choose a standard four-speed or optional five-speed transmission, which delivers a 16% drop in fuel consumption. In-cab noise levels have been reduced to just 68dB(A
