Comer F-046 Hydro axle gives improved performance for wheel loaders

Comer has introduced the F-046 Hydro axle for compact wheeled vehicles such as front-end loaders. The new product is a version of the company's 046 axle modified to host a hydrostatic radial motor in line with the input shaft and allow for four-wheel drive connection. The design provides better machine performance compared with traditional products and improved driveline layout by reducing installation room needed under the vehicle, claims

    The construction industry can lower its carbon emissions by taking advantage of technology advances in three areas – electro-mobility, intelligent machines and connected machines, said David Ross, vp of advanced technology and verification, Volvo Construction Equipment, who spoke at a seminar on climate challenges in infrastructure projects at bauma that the company hosted. With buildings contributing 30% to global emissions across their life cycle including construction and demolition, the industry needs t
  • ZF chooses radial motor technology for its hydrostatic transmission
    January 6, 2017
    ZF has chosen a pair of radial hydraulic motors for use in its compact single-speed hydrostatic transmission, the 2HC85, which has been developed for compact wheeled loaders up to 100kW and 10.5tonnes operating weight. For high-torque start-up, the transmission sends oil to both motors and demands maximum stroke to travel from 0-16kph, before isolating one motor and then using 100% oil flow through the remaining motor to propel the machine to its maximum travel speed of 42kph. ZF said radial motors afford a

  • JCB adds to Stage IIIB wheeled loader line
    January 6, 2017
    JCB has introduced two additional Stage IIIB-powered wheeled loaders, the 427 and the 437. Replacing the 426 and 436, the loaders use a Cummins QSB engine, which meets the requirements of Stage IIIB without the need for a diesel particulate filter or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). A variable geometry turbocharger improves response, while an optional five-speed powershift transmission with intelligent clutch cut-off system helps to reduce fuel consumption.
