Combi Wear Parts’ C-REX is a new wear parts system developed for excavators weighing 12-45tonnes and wheeled loaders weighing 12-55tonnes. “Even though the Combi parts system is also aimed for the construction segment, there is a lot of difference between C-REX and Combi parts. When we designed C-REX we kept the best features from Combi parts but we made some big improvements as well. For example we have developed a mechanical lock that makes mounting and dismounting teeth so much easier. The lock is hammer
In recent years developments in engine technology have played a key role with regard to improved machine performance. Diesel engine makers have had to meet a challenging schedule in terms of delivering new low emission engine technology and meet tough regulatory requirements for the US and Europe. Along with the cleaner emissions have come improved fuel economy and increased power density, allowing customers to meet the power needs of their machines with smaller and more economical engines. At the same time
JLG has added another compact crawler boom to its range, the X15J Plus. “It is the most compact machine within its height category on the market,” said Jan-Willem van Wier, product marketing manager Aerial Platforms for JLG.
