WN’s steer in right direction

It might be logical to think that bigger construction machines will be harder to steer – but then there’s the Wacker Neuson DT25 crawler-mounted dumper.

Wacker Neuson presents new ‘steering logic’ DT25 crawler-mounted dumper at INTERMAT 2012
It might be logical to think that bigger construction machines will be harder to steer – but then there’s the 1651 Wacker Neuson DT25 crawler-mounted dumper.  
The largest in the five-strong DT series of crawler-mounted dumpers, the DT25 comes with in-built ‘steering logic’. On sensitive surfaces or restricted spaces, the driver doesn’t need to turn, merely having to rotate the seat through 180°, and is always driving in the direction in which they’re moving the joystick.

The DT25 has a loading capacity of up to 2.5tonnes and is equipped with fully hydrostatic traction drive. This, with either a powerful diesel or gasoline engine, is said by Wacker Neuson to guarantee excellent manoeuvrability even on difficult terrain.

  • Kobelco’s new crawler cranes make European debut at INTERMAT
    April 20, 2012
    Kobelco used INTERMAT for the European introduction of its G series CKE range of crawler cranes –displaying the CKE2500G and the CKE800G, with lifting capacities of 250tonnes and 80tonnes respectively. Both benefit from lower fuel consumption of up to 25% partly attributed to their Stage IIIB engines having an auto idle stop (which cuts the engine if it is idling and automatically re-starts it as soon as a control is touched) and the G Winch that retains its winching speed even if the engine revs are reduce

  • Merlo’s little wonder
    January 6, 2017
    Opposite in the size scale to Merlo’s other Intermat 2012 machines, the ‘Grand Roto’ 60.24 MCSS and the 40.30MCSS, is the tiny P25.6 SuperCompact telehandler. Only 1,800mm wide, the P25.6 is said to fit into the smallest of site applications. Although being small aids manoeuvrability, Merlo says this has not led to a compromise on cab comfort. The machine’s cab is said to have exactly the same 995m size as all the other Merlo machines. Merlo claims that, unlike many other compact handlers, the P25.6 has exc
