255 JCB is moving up a class in the wheeled loader market with the introduction of its new 457 model. Replacing the earlier 456, the new 457 is the biggest and most powerful wheeled loader the firm has ever built and has a 235kg increase in load capacity.

The new 8.9litre 196 Cummins diesel with its variable geometry turbocharger meets the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions requirements while also offering reductions in fuel consumption over the engine used in the earlier model.

Full electronic control of engine functions and of the 2304 ZF transmission ensures that the loader is both efficient and productive.

Customers can choose between the standard four speed or optional five speed version of the WG210 transmission, though both offer intelligent clutch cut-out functions.

Torque proportional traction and an automatic differential lock will provide good traction in rough terrain.

The company claims that the machine will have a lower cost of ownership than other comparable wheeled loader models in its class. The JCB Livelink system provides real-time data on how the machine is being used such as cycles, performance, distance travelled and engine oil and hydraulic fluid temperatures and pressures.

    Caterpillar Paving is introducing its AP1000E and AP1055E pavers, which replaced the earlier D-Series machines. The machines are said to be able to place smooth mats and deliver high-production as well as redirecting fumes away from operators. The AP1000E is a wheeled model while the AP1055E is the tracked version of the same basic machine. Productivity is provided in part through the heavy-duty screed designs offered, with customers able to choose between the AS2302C, AS3301C, AS4251C and AS4252C.
