Merlo's panoramic P 41.7 hybrid lifting appliance
The 323 Samoter international jury has assigned the Technical Innovation Competition 2011 to Merlo for its Panomramic P 41.7 hybrid lifting appliance; 718 Liebherr-Emtec Italy with its Liebherr ER 934 electrical industrial loader and 2595 Simem for its MMX3500 concrete plant. A special mention was also made for a demolition tool from 1140 Mantovanibenne.

Merlo's lifting system expands the company's production range in the sector, while Liebherr-Emtec's loader is fitted with a new electronic management system (Liebherr Torque Control System) for command and adjustment of the hydraulic circuit.

Simem's MMX 3500 concrete plant incorporates a "significant series of positive characteristics as regards installation and management but especially as regards easy and rapid transport of the system." Mantovanibenne's demolition clamp with an intensified cylinder helps achieve (for the machine on which it is used) performances that are normally only attainable with machinery of much higher power.

    Solutions for Tier 4 Final emissions regulations dominated Conexpo 2014, with many firms showing off their options of DOC, DPF and SCR after-treatments. Deutz, while staying with an SCR-only solution, took a more unusual approach on its high horsepower V6 12litre and V8 16litre engines. Both get a dual SCR after treatment system to meet Tier 4 Final emission standards.

    Advances in transmission technology will help to optimise machine performance – writes Mike Woof. As construction machines have become more sophisticated, so have the transmission systems used in items of equipment. Advances in electronics and software in particular have allowed the development of integrated transmissions. These operate more efficiently and help optimise power delivery from an engine, boosting torque response and cutting fuel consumption and emissions at the same time. The smart electronics

    Legislative and economic factors are impacting upon the earthmoving equipment market - Mike Woof reports No-one who has any connection with the construction equipment sector can have failed to notice that increasingly tough emissions legislation has changed the shape of machines over the last 10 years or so. A series of targets have been set and met with regard to the exhaust emissions permitted from off-highway machines used in North America and Europe. The latest round of requirements has seen the intr
