196 Cummins QSB6.7 diesel that delivers 116kW and meets Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions requirements. The diesel has advanced electronic Controls and a self-diagnostic system, as well as a high pressure common rail system and advanced in-cylinder combustion technology. This offers increased power, improved transient response and reduced fuel consumption. The engine drives through a fully automatic transmission that the firm says is designed for maximum durability, minimum power loss, improved travel speed and low noise. It also has an improved clutch control and minimised shifting shock when operating. The HL740-9A model allows an operator to optimise power output, transmission, shift time and clutch cut-off activation to the job. Three engine power modes are available; power, standard and economy, as well as four transmission power shift modes; manual, light, normal and heavy.
Hyundai’s HL740-9A wheeled loader weighs in at 12.7tonnes, has a 2.35m3 bucket capacity as standard and is available in an extended reach (XTD) model, which tips the scales at 13tonnes. The loader is also available in a 13.3tonne tool carrier (TM) model with parallel lift.
Other improvements include better operator comfort and a larger, redesigned cab, as well as an LCD monitor that also operates as a rear-view backup camera for better safety onsite. As with all of Hyundai’s 9 series equipment, the HL740-9A features the Hi-mate Remote Management System, which allows operators and dealer service personnel to access service and diagnostic information remotely.%$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalwww.hceamericas.comHyundai Websitefalsehttp://www.hceamericas.com/falsefalse%>
A Tier 4 Final-compliant tracked loader has been unveiled by JCB at bauma 2013. The 225T machine is powered by JCB’s Ecomax engine that uses up to 9% less fuel than the previous Dieselmax version, which was, itself, said to be up to 16% more efficient than some competitor machines. In addition to the new engine, the large platform models in JCB’s 17-strong skid steer/compact loader range also get electro-hydraulic controls as used on small platform machines. This allows companies to specify H-pattern contro

Engineering firm Ricardo is part way through a research programme to develop an advanced energy recovery system that can be integrated into an excavator’s hydraulic system. Known as the High Efficiency Excavator (HFX) project, the system uses a 5kg carbon fibre flywheel that is encased in a vacuum-sealed cartridge, which contributes to minimising friction. The flywheel is spun at speeds of up to 30,000rpm using a magnetic coupling, which is driven from a hydraulic motor. Power for the hydraulic motor comes
