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.
The SL50W-3 wheel loader by Shantui has been fitted with planetary power shift transmission and a coxial flow amplification type hydraulic steering system for flexible operation and energy efficiency. Also kitted out with a Dongfeng Cummins engine, the SL50W-3’s is said to have a highly articulated frame for a better turning radius and greater work flexibility. Its automatic bucket-leveling function is said by Shantui to ease operator handling, and its advanced Z-type reverse tipping mechanism with large br
A new range of safety-focused automatic quick couplers will be launched by Geith at INTERMAT, specifically for mini excavators. The new QC35/40 hydraulic coupler is designed for use on mini-excavators from two- to four tonnes, giving the operator a fully automatic, safe change-over system without having to leave the cab. A patented double pin locking system ensures that the coupler retains the attachment in a safe position even if there is a loss of power, said the firm.
