The use of advanced control technology help boost the percentage of roads built using concrete - Mike Woof reports
New technologies mean that concrete offers a highly competitive option for road construction.
Indoogoo, a social and trading network for the construction industry, has added geolocation of available equipment to its My Rentals Website.
Users of My Rentals have been locating and renting heavy equipment from big organisations including national outfits and smaller local traders. The new service now allows users to search for the machinery they wish to rent, specifying exactly where and when it is needed. The user is presented with a customised map showing all suitable machinery in the specified area.
LeeBoy is seeing strong sales for its road machines at the moment, particularly in the US. And the firm’s early investment in fitting Tier 4 Final compliant engines has played a significant role
Christopher Barnard is CEO of LeeBoy and commented, “The US has been strong. Demand is there and the infrastructure spending is there. It’s a good market. In our segment for commercial paving we’re doing very well.” The paver range is selling well and the firm’s 8520 model is a particularly strong seller. Barnard
