A new range of reflectorless total stations has been developed by 342 Topcon. Called the ES series, the new models also feature TSshield – a Topcon Group innovation using a multi-function telematics-based communication module that locates the instrument. The ES package also gets the longest single-charge battery life in the industry – 36 hours – making it possible to work five full days without recharging.
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
It’s a case of entering a new Hemisphere for one Canadian firm at INTERMAT. Hemisphere GPS is highlighting its wide range of machine control and guidance systems during its show debut. The ergonomic Earthworks Z300 for dozers, a new system being exhibited by the Calgary-based firm, is said to improve grade control accuracy while reducing rework and the number of required passes.
A further new Hemisphere GPS system on show is the S320 GNSS Survey Receiver. The model includes SMS communication, GSM auto cor

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,
