Diesel/electric drive for compact Terex excavator

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.

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’s AS900 tele - a rigid chassis all-wheel steer, compact loader - has been given an overhaul for 2012. The 7,250kg machine gets a new cab offering greater visibility, more internal space and quieter in-cab noise levels. A centrally positioned seat affords a clear view of the working environment, with controls integrated into a single joystick. The cab uses two large doors, providing easy access to the cab and with generous soundproofing, the in-cab noise levels have been reduced to 72 dB(A). The

    JLG says the high-torque hydrostatic transmission of its L2906H compact telehandler, on show at INTERMAT 2012, allows for all-terrain application suitability “unmatched” by competitors. The L2906H and the rest of JLG’s compact range are equipped with a Stage IIIa Deutz engine that delivers 74.9kW Even in extreme rough terrain situations, the limited-slip differential feature on the front axle further enhances the traction provided by the high-torque hydrostatic transmission.

  • INTERMAT visitors first to see new high flow Bobcat telehandler
    January 6, 2017
    Bobcat has introduced the TL470HF, a high-flow version of its recently launched telehandler. The HF version shares the 4tonne/7m capacities of the standard machine but comes with a 100kW engine (instead of 75kW) and a 190litre/min pump instead of 100litres/min in the standard machine. The result is higher traction power and cycle times that are up to 30% quicker than with the normal flow version with the no-load lift time of less than five seconds. In addition to providing a higher flow rate, the bigg
