RSS1222 Terex has introduced the production version of its Twin Drive TC16 mini excavator.

Equipped with both a 13kW diesel engine and an 11kW electric motor, the 1.9tonne machine can be used in confined spaces with zero exhaust emissions. A 15m cable reel is installed behind the cab, allowing the machine to travel under electric power.

Both the diesel engine and the electric motor drive the same hydraulic pump, providing equal performance and productivity whichever power source is in operation. The machine has a slightly longer engine canopy to cover the dual power source, yet retains compact slewing dimensions.

A selector switch in the cab allows the operator to choose between the engine or the electric motor, and there are separate hour meters for the two power sources.

    Mecalac has introduced a rail-road version of its compact 8MCR crawler excavator. The machine has two sets of hydraulically-lowered rail wheels that use the dozer blade circuit to lift it clear of the tracks. The wheels can be set at 1,000mm, 1,435mm and 1,668mm widths, to suit various European rail networks. Activation of the on-rail function automatically turns on all regulatory lighting, limits the working height of the equipment, limits upper structure rotation and activates a load monitoring system.

    The Kleemann Mobicat MC R jaw crusher is the smallest crusher in the Mobicat range. Weighing approximately 36tonnes, it is relatively transportable, making it ideal for smaller jobs. There is an option to lower the height if required. The crusher is reliable and extremely flexible due to its variable gap width adjustment and the reversible drive enables blockages in the mouth to be removed quickly and easily. The powerful 228kW diesel engine ensures maximum feed capacity of up to 200tonnes per hour, claims
