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.
A 4x4 version of Mitsubishi’s Canter light truck premiered at INTERMAT on the stand of its sister company Mercedes Benz, which distributes the vehicles in Europe. The 6.5tonne GVW vehicle is fitted with a transfer box that diverts half of the torque to the front wheels at the touch of a button and can be engaged while still on the move.
Netherlands-based D-TEC has developed a novel vacuum tank trailer system for applications such as bentonite extraction during sample boring. An innovative steering system is said to allow the D-TEC vacuum tanktrailer to manoeuvre easily on sites where there is little space. This design also reduces tyre scrubbing and allows greater tyre life, cutting running costs over the long term. The tank trailer offers greater load capacity than previously available designs according to the firm, due to its low weight,
