2373 Spectra Precision is introducing its sophisticated ProMark 700 system, a GNSS network RTK rover aimed at duties in land survey applications. The unit weighs in at only 650grammes and is said to be the lightest GNSS RTK smart antenna available on the market. Its light weight, together with its compact and slim design, makes the unit the receiver portable and comfortable for field use. It features a long battery life, a rugged, waterproof design and a wide operating temperature range, allowing the ProMark 700 to be used in harsh outdoor environments. The new receiver is equipped with 220 dual-frequency and dual-constellation GNSS channels that allow tracking of all available L1/L2 GPS/GLONASS satellite signals. It provides features for effective network RTK operations, without rarely-used modules or options. In addition, the ProMark 700 has been designed as an intuitive, simple and easy-to-use receiver, where all operations are performed from the data collector. Due to their size and light weight, the perfect companions to ProMark 700 are the low-cost MM10 data collector or the new T41 data collector with a smart phone design. The ProMark 700 receiver can be used with Spectra Precision field software: either Survey Pro v5.2.1 or FAST Survey v3.1. Both field software applications provide a complete set of features that meet the demanding expectations of professional surveyors and are optimised for RTK network surveys.
Leica Geosystems has unveiled its new powerful Leica iCON 3D machine control system for wheeled loaders. The Swiss firm says the system allows users to complete their earthworks jobs faster and correctly the first time. It is also said to precisely control material cut and fill, saving a lot of time and money by reducing rework and over-excavation, while also making grading operations with wheeled loaders more efficient. Grade checking, says Leica, can be eliminated, further enhancing productivity, efficien
A 4x4 version of Mitsubishi’s Canter light truck premiered at INTERMAT on the stand of its sister company Mercedes Benz, which distributes the vehicles in Europe. The 6.5tonne GVW vehicle is fitted with a transfer box that diverts half of the torque to the front wheels at the touch of a button and can be engaged while still on the move.

The latest wheeled loader from Terex – the TL120 – not only features a 16% more powerful 74.4kW Stage IIIB-compliant Deutz engine, but uses the Terex Smart Control operating system to increase fuel efficiency.
The 7.1tonne machine uses a menu system similar to that found on a smartphone to configure the machine for specific applications.
