The all-new HJC5410THB-56 concrete pump from Shantui is a 56m reach machine
Heavy investment in research and development at 1171 Shantui has seen the introduction of an array of new machines, including that of its largest ever concrete pump. This launch is part of a steady diversification on the part of Shantui, which is expanding its range from its previous reliance on crawler dozers. The new HJC5410THB-56 pump runs on a four axle truck chassis and weighs 42tonnes, while it measures 13.85m long. With its six section boom it can provide concrete to a height of 56m and can deliver material at a maximum design rate of 170m3/min. A rugged structure is said to maximise stability and durability while it has X-configuration outriggers. At 2.5m wide it can be driven on most highways and is said to offer high mobility, while its 4m height with the boom folded allows it to be driven safely under most conventional road bridges and overpasses. A series of safety systems minimise the risk of accidents while control is said to be easy, with manual and automatic operating modes.
Liebherr’s new Mobilmix 2.5 is a container-mounted mixing plant system developed for large construction sites.
This plant offers a capacity of 110m3/hour of compacted concrete and is designed for mobility. The plant’s components are housed in modular containers that can be easily transported and linked together on-site. Once erected, the container modules form a weather-proof structure that can be equipped with additional insulation for use in severe climatic conditions.
Shantui has continued to expand its European CE-marked equipment line with the introduction of the SF30 fork lift. With a 3tonne lift capacity, the SF30 has an operating weight of 4.5tonnes. Power is provided by a 37kW Isuzu engine. The company offers fork lifts with capacities of 2-3tonnes on single front wheels and 5-10tonnes with twin front wheels. The SF30 is the first model in the line to use a European-specification engine, though additional machines will be added later in the year.
