In addition, applications for the category research are no longer restricted to research institutes or universities; companies doing research and development are also invited to hand in innovations.

In each category, three innovations will be nominated for the award. The panel of judges consists of important international representatives of the construction industry as well as leading professors in these fields and editors of specialised trade magazines. The jury assesses the sustainability and the practical use of the innovations. Selection criteria include cost efficiency, performance improvement, energy and resource efficiency, as well as contribution towards environmental protection, humanisation of the workplace and image enhancement of the industry.

In all categories, the innovations must be related to the construction equipment and building material machinery industry, the mining equipment industry or to the construction or building material industry.

    Wacker Neuson has added two compact telescopic handlers to its range – the TH412 and the TH625. The machines offer maximum heights of 4.31m and 5.73m respectively, with lift capacities of 1.2tonnes and 2.5tonnes. Despite their compact dimensions they retain large telescopic-handler design features, such as all-wheel steering and generously-sized cabs, standard on the TH625 and optional on the smaller model.
