GKN Land Systems’ latest inverted slip driveshaft is a service-free design
GKN Land Systems has launched a range of service-free driveshafts at Conexpo. Developed exclusively for off-highway applications, the Synergy range of inverted slip design driveshafts combines the benefits of GKN’s Rockford and Bruneck ranges.

Doing so has allowed the firm to reduce overall driveshaft weight without compromising on strength and durability.

The new range enjoys simpler installation by using a four-bolt flange on both ends of the driveshaft. Advanced sealing technology combined with optimised greasing for the life of the shaft has led the firm to a service-free solution for off-highway applications.

  • Liebherr’s HS8300HD crawler uses hybrid drive to reduce fuel consumption
    January 6, 2017
    Liebherr has developed a hybrid drive system for its HS8300HD heavy duty cycle crawler crane. The 350 tonne machine generates electrical power from its hydraulic free-fall winches, which offer up to 50 tonnes of line pull. Under this Pactronic system surplus energy is stored in a hydraulic accumulator and regenerated to assist the engine, reducing fuel consumption. This reuse of energy also cuts emissions from the machine.

    Sandvik DC125R is a new member to the proven Sandvik DC family of compact, rubber-tyred top hammer drill rigs. The fully remote-controlled, hydraulic and self-propelled mini-sized drilling unit on a four-wheel drive carrier, is for drilling 22–45mm holes, and replaces the former Sandvik DC122R, one in the series of rigs originally launched in 1988 under the product name of Tamrock Commando. “A range of job site tests show that the new model offers better manoeuvrability than ever before. This is thanks to t

    November 1, 2016
    The Scottish roads authority has backpedalled on its recently improved cycle lane along a major route on the south-west coast, close to the city of Ayr.

    Amid local authority concerns over traffic congestion and one man’s media-grabbing protest, the cycle lane will now be ripped out – after being installed this summer.

    As the video shows, it is a protected wide lane, often painted blue. Cars appear to travel freely beside it.
