7121 Hexagon continues to develop its software portfolio with the acquisition of Listech, which will compliment its array of construction solutions and particularly those of its 265 Leica Geosystems subsidiary. 7122 Listech offers software solutions that aid with data processing and help streamline workflows in land management, construction and engineering projects. The LISCAD portfolio offers a comprehensive set of modules that interface with all major surveying, engineering and CAD systems. The array gives on-site personnel access to sophisticated tools for use in real-time surveying and stakeout. This technology can help optimise measuring, mapping, and recording the physical environment, while reducing the risk of mistakes. The company claims it provides an important tool that ensures proven practices can be combined with high-tech capabilities in an array of applications from road construction to land surveying services.
Transportation specialist Goldhofer is introducing a range of new semitrailer and low loader solutions. The new models include innovations in Goldhofer’s heavy-duty modules, as well as trailers and semitrailers for the construction sector. Improved payload capacities, steering performance and ride quality are all claimed. These new trailers are said to be stronger and more durable, as well as benefiting from increased versatility.
Liebherr has developed a hybrid drive system for its HS8300HD heavy duty cycle crawler crane. The 350 tonne machine generates electrical power from its hydraulic free-fall winches, which offer up to 50 tonnes of line pull. Under this Pactronic system surplus energy is stored in a hydraulic accumulator and regenerated to assist the engine, reducing fuel consumption. This reuse of energy also cuts emissions from the machine.
