Shantui's SR12-5 live at INTERMAT
1171 Shantui’s SR12-5 road roller is the Chinese company’s most exported construction machine model and will be part of its large exhibition at INTERMAT. Said by Shantui to be designed mainly for use in mid-sized compaction duties, it features 2254 Dana hydraulic control systems, and comes with a single front-mounted drum. Weighing in at 12.3tonnes, the machine is powered by a six cylinder diesel rated at 105kW and features a 2.14m wide drum that has a diameter of 1.55m and offers a static front axle load of 7.1tonnes. Two low and high vibration frequencies are offered of 30 and 33Hz and the machine delivers switchable centrifugal forces of 180 or 270kN as well as amplitudes of 1 or 1.8mm respectively. Overall width of the machine is 2.4m and with its high comfort cab, the soil compactor is 3.13m high, while it measures just over 6m long. The company claims the SR12-5 compactor offers high performance, durable construction and reliable operation, as well as being easy to maintain and service.
The Dubai branch office of Shantui Construction Machinery recently scored a deal with a Middle Eastern client worth US$18 million. Negotiations began in July, and concluded with an order for a total of 205 units. This marks the largest contract signed by Shantui in the Middle East. Included in the order is a wide array of products such as bulldozers, excavators, wheeled loaders and forklifts. “This is a huge step forward for Shantui in an ever-growing market,” said Jackie Chang, general manager of Shantui’s
Dynapac says that its new fifth generation CA single drum vibratory rollers, the CA5000, CA6000 and CA6500, offer performance upgrades over other machines. These machines have transverse-mounted engines that improve serviceability as well as optimised amplitude to boost compaction performance. A novel Active Bouncing Control is said to prevent damage to the machines as well over-compaction. High comfort cabs, good manoeuvrability and reduced noise levels and fuel consumption all help to make these machines
