FRD produces Fx Series scaling breakers for tunnel construction

Furukawa Rock Drill (FRD) has developed the Fx Series of small hydraulic breakers with a scaling version for tunnel use. Using a mono-block cylinder with replaceable wear parts, the Fx Series breakers are said to provide increased power with reduced operating noise. There are four Fx models available with weights of 112-300kg, they are intended for excavators with operating weights of 1.5-7 tonnes.

    With an operating weight of 83.8 – 86tonnes, Hitachi’s giant ZX870LCH-5 excavator is said to be built to operate on the most demanding job sites, such as large-scale construction projects and in busy quarries. The model incorporates the HIOS IIIB hydraulic system, said to allow for faster operation with lower fuel consumption and increased front speed. The ZX870LCH-5 is claimed to have 6% more productivity in H/P mode compared to the previous Zaxis model. Swing torque is also said to have increased by 9% an

    The Loadrite L2150 wheeled loader bucket weighing system is said to offer increased accuracy and reliability. The system is said to ensure haul trucks can be loaded properly, improving overall productivity by ensuring operational efficiency. Using this weighing system trucks are neither under-loaded nor over-loaded, with the ensuing associated productivity losses and excess machine wear problems respectively, all but eliminated. Aimed at use in large quarry operations the new Loadrite L2150 unit is said to
