Michelin now guarantees its heavy duty tyres
Michelin is now giving some peace of mind to companies running fleets of heavy tipper trucks operating on construction or quarry sites.

The firm says that given the risk of tyre problems when working in such tough applications, it is now offering a new damage guarantee. This applies to the 720 MICHELIN X WORKS tyre range, for tyres equipping new vehicles or those purchased as a replacement.

The Michelin Damage Guarantee is free of charge and is said to allow customers the chance to safeguard their tyre investment. In the event of an incident to a MICHELIN X WORKS tyre, a refund in the form of credit will be issued by the dealer. It is said to be simple to register and to activate online through the MyAccount page, which can be accessed from the Website: %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal trucks.michelin.eu.

As these trucks operate on dirt tracks and in quarries, fleet owners are now able to equip their trucks with tyres that are robust on harsh terrain and durable on asphalt. The firm says that its latest MICHELIN X WORKS tyres meet the need for robustness and durability, as well as safety.

    PERI says that with new VARIOKIT system components it is now possible to create a heavy-duty truss girder for bridge construction. A supplement to the VARIOKIT heavy-duty shoring tower launched at bauma 2010, PERI said that during the new truss girder solution’s development it took into account load-bearing capacity of the tower and the challenging requirements of daily construction work. The modular lattice system can be used for spans up to 40m and is said by PERI to have a very high-load bearing capacity

    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.

    Early detection of pavement defects and the causes of deterioration is essential for effective maintenance planning, writes Dr Alena Uus* There is a need for optimisation and development of UK highway survey methods that would provide comprehensive information on the surface and subsurface pavement condition and operate at traffic speed, which eliminates the requirement for lane closures. Performance of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods commonly employed in pavement condition surveys can be potent
