PLANTWORX at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire, southern England, from June 6-8
The 3rd biennial 3579 PLANTWORX Construction Machinery exhibition in the UK is on target to exceed the number of exhibitors at the last show in 2015.

With five months to go before opening, 278 exhibitors have signed up, making 86% of exhibition spaces sold, according to the organisers. Of the 278 exhibitors, 74 are new to the event which is hosted the CEA - the UK’s 3418 Construction Equipment Association.

The biennial event will take place at its established home at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire, southern England, from June 6-8. The show will be 20% larger than the 2015 show, with 140,000m² of space.

New at PLANTWORX 2017 is The Hub event arena at the heart of the show where visitors can take a break from the hustle and bustle of the show. The Hub will celebrate innovation and new technology. Activities from The Hub and the main-showground will be broadcast onto outdoor screens with live video roaming.

All PLANTWORX Innovation Award Winners will be invited to exhibit their winning product in this area and take part in the People’s Choice Award where visitors vote for their favourite product, machine and service.
There will be a focus on Inbuilt Technology where visitors can ‘walk around’ machines which are fitted with the latest in technology for a busy construction site to improve profit margins and help complete projects safely, on time and on budget.

And safety, as well as security, will form part of The Hub which will include exhibits and demonstrations from the CESAR Equipment & Registration Scheme for the Construction & Agricultural Industries and CITS (Combined Industries Theft Solutions).
 
Additional features will include environmental solutions, machine simulators, autonomous machines and operation, drone demonstrations and much more.  A covered seating area in the centre of the arena and other facilities will include a wifi hotspot.

On the final day of the show The Hub will host the Primary Engineer and Secondary Engineer Celebration where 26 local schools will showcase their STEM engineering projects.

    Kobelco’s SK210LC Generation 10 hybrid excavator was previewed ahead of its European introduction in 2017. The machine, from Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe, is a Japanese version, but gives an idea of what can be expected from the latest addition to the product range. KCME says it is targeting outstanding fuel consumption with the Generation 10 base model, with savings of 15% compared with a conventional energy-efficient Generation 10 model. The Kobelco machine’s design incorporates battery

    January 6, 2017
    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.

  • ZF looks to combine hybrid module with cPower CVT transmission
    January 6, 2017
    ZF used bauma 2013 to show the next stage of development for its cPower continuously variable transmission (CVT). By combining the transmission with a hybrid module, ZF said greater operating efficiencies were available from the integration of start/stop technology and energy recovery from regenerative braking. Potentially, the hybrid drive system has the ability to boost fuel efficiency by up to 25% in addition to the 20% higher operating efficiency already offered by the cPower transmission, said ZF.
