342 Topcon Europe has introduced a new series of affordable lasers and levels under its new 2LS brand to bridge the gap between do-it-yourself lasers and industrial quality lasers and surveying instruments used on large construction and civil engineering projects.
Four new models are available under the 2LS brand – Orion automatic levels, Gemini series interior lasers, Leo series of line lasers and the Taurus rotating laser system. Topcon says the new models are suitable for house building, concrete forming, dry wall and ceiling installations.
3D-matic is MOBA’s new levelling system for use with grader and dozer levelling blades. The system has a simple menu structure and works with latest GNSS technology or total station, to deliver exact results corresponding to project data. MOBA 3D-matic is compatible with all MOBA levelling systems, said the company, and it allows an easy upgrade from 2D to 3D.
JCB is introducing new hydraulic breakers to meet a range of customer needs. The larger HM870Q, HM1270Q and HM1570Q hydraulic breakers feature stainless steel components in critical areas as well as sealed for life accumulators, both of which boost operating life. Performance has been increased due to improved hydraulics, boosting efficiency and reducing noise while the breakers are said to have high power to weight ratios compared with rival units.

Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe (HHIE) used INTERMAT to start the roll-out of its Dash 9A wheeled loaders. First up are the HL760, HL770 and HL780 models, which get Cummins QSB Stage IIIb engines with an active regeneration system that uses controlled, in-cylinder fuel injection (rather than a fuel burner) to achieve the desired reduction in engine emissions. Among the tweaks are a relocated fan to improve cooling efficiency and maintenance access, a touch-screen LCD display and electronic smart key – the l
