Using machine control technology on milling machines and other equipment can make significant reductions in construction costs

Trimble is presenting and demonstrating its portfolio of construction technology for heavy civil contractors at bauma China 2012.

The company offers a broad array of technology for the contractor, including solutions for both machines and personnel on the construction site.

Key presentations from 2122 Trimble at bauma China include its range of machine control solutions for excavators, dozers, motor graders, soil and asphalt compactors, milling machines and pavers. The firm’s grade control systems enable contractors to increase efficiency in earthmoving operations and decrease costs by working faster, with more accuracy and reduced rework. The paving solutions help reduce costs when building new roads and resurfacing existing links by minimising the quantities of costly asphalt required.

In addition, Trimble will feature its Flex family of machine control solutions, which aims at use by small to mid-sized contractors. The rugged GCSFlex for excavators and CCSFlex for soil and asphalt compactors are easy-to-install, easy-to-learn and easy-to-use. They are designed to offer a reliable, flexible and affordable option to leverage machine control technology and make them more competitive.

Trimble will also feature its off machine portfolio of Site Positioning Systems for the construction surveyor, supervisor, grade checker and other personnel on the job site.

Using Trimble Site Positioning Systems, users can perform topographic surveys, grade checking, volume measurements and as-built surveys. Work at every stage of earthmoving and paving can be performed faster, with fewer errors and less material costs.

    GKD Technik will be showing its PWS (Proximity Warning System) for the first time at Intermat 2012. Designed to protect site workers from being injured by mobile site machinery, the PWS system uses radio technology to detect the position of pedestrians and warn the machinery operator of the hazard. Each time a worker comes to close to a machine a log is generated and, using optional telemetry, the contractor can monitor site safety. Anti-collision facilities ensure that all mobile machines can detect the ha

    January 6, 2017
    Bonfiglioli has developed an electric drum drive for the new hybrid truck mixer from CIFA, the concrete equipment specialist owned by Chinese manufacturer Zoomlion. The 500 series drum drive with electric motor offers drum rotation speeds from 15-22rpm and is suited to mixer capacities from 6-14m3. The drivetrain relies on an AC induction motor to turn the drum, which gets its power from an on-board battery pack. The electric drum drive can also be powered by mains electricity – the latter can be plugged in
