The new piling clamp from French firm Fayat allows piles to be placed efficiently and accurately
2779 Fayat Group has developed the Tiltex swivelling clamp for sheet pile handling. Specifically designed for excavator-mounted Vibrodrivers, the Tiltex clamp improves the handling of sheet piles and the productivity on piling projects. Using the clamp, operators can grab sheet piles stored on the ground and drive them directly without any other handling operations. Fayat said the clamp is equally as productive when removing sheet piles.
Ammann has introduced the ACEeco compaction measuring system for its five model AVH hydraulic plate range. As an extra cost option, the system uses a compaction display that indicates the compaction progress using an LED scale. The system also displays the maximum compaction level achievable and this, said Ammann, will help operators to avoid making unnecessary passes and over-compaction. Available for AVH5020, 5030, 6020, 6030 and 100-20 models, which have operating weights from 530–555kg and working width
Additions to Cat’s mini excavator range at INTERMAT include the 301.7D and 302.4D. With operating weights of 1.8 and 2.4tonnes respectively, the two new machines will replace the UK-built 301.8C and 302.5C later this year, when they go into production. Key features include expandable track frames, standard and long stick options, stand and extended blade frames, plus canopy and full cab versions – the latter uses a single, left-hand door design. Dozer float is carried over from the C series and track pedals
