Wacker Neuson is adding to its mini excavator range, with the zero tailswing EZ80 and EZ53. These 8tonne and 5.3tonne models are among the most powerful in their classes. The smaller EZ53 has a tilting cab for ease of maintenance while the heavier EZ80 features air conditioning and seat heating among the standard specification. The company has also been developing a line of zero emission machines that includes a site dumper, wheeled loader, mini tracked dumper and the 803 dual power electric mini excavator

Wacker Neuson introduces new mini excavators
1651 Wacker Neuson is adding to its mini excavator range, with the zero tailswing EZ80 and EZ53. These 8tonne and 5.3tonne models are among the most powerful in their classes. The smaller EZ53 has a tilting cab for ease of maintenance while the heavier EZ80 features air conditioning and seat heating among the standard specification.
The company has also been developing a line of zero emission machines that includes a site dumper, wheeled loader, mini tracked dumper and the 803 dual power electric mini excavator.
Bobcat, a division of Doosan, is showing a prototype of the E85 midi excavator, an 8.5tonne machine powered by a Yanmar 44.3kW Stage IIIB engine. The machine meets the emissions standard through the use of exhaust gas recirculation and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The reduced tailswing excavator has 4% more power than the previous E80 model, yet is said to offer a 7% improvement in fuel economy. Bucket digging force is also up 7%, and 6,600kg.
Bobcat has unveiled a new version of its T870 compact tracked loader. This now has a new torsion suspension undercarriage and replaces the earlier T870 model with its roller suspension system.
According to the firm, the torsion suspension undercarriage features torsion axles that dampen vibration, combining the comfort of roller suspension and the stability of a solid mount undercarriage. This is said to boost ride comfort as well as performance. The new T870 torsion suspension machine offers 10% more lif
Komatsu Europe has premiered its new next-generation WA475-11 and WA485-11 wheeled loaders, which the manufacturer says represent a leap forward in performance and efficiency.
At the heart of new Dash 11 generation wheeled loaders is a newly developed Komatsu diesel engine which is characterised by extremely high torque in the low-speed range. This new engine is combined with a Komatsu-designed hydro-mechanical-transmission (HMT), resulting in excellent performance, power reserves, fuel efficiency and ease of operation for all transport and loading tasks.
