The firm claims that the attachments are all improved to boost strength and durability, as well as to improve opening and closing times.

By using hydraulic cylinders with higher working pressures, the firm says it has been able to increase the power of the attachments by 22%, and in some cases up to 35%. In addition, the valves mounted on the cylinders are optimised so that cycle times are faster. Because these valves are located externally on the outside of the cylinder, they are accessible for service and maintenance.

The HCC series now benefits from a new type of changeable penetration teeth already applied in the HCS series. These teeth have a better penetrating ability in concrete, which has optimised the crushing force of the units. The combination of these modifications resulted in a 35% greater efficiency of the scissors.

In addition to the conventional jaws fitted as standard in the HCC series, the firm also offers its high-penetration jaw (HPJ) design. These shorter jaws have been designed to be able to transfer more force. The Hydraram HPJ jaws have up to 30% higher penetration force than the standard HCC jaws. In addition, the new HCC series can be equipped with an automatic lubrication system.

The HFP-M pulveriser has an integrated magnet that is powered by the 24V system on the excavator. No additional alternator is required and the unit is easy to install. The magnet function can be switched on by the operator to collect reinforcement steel during crushing. The magnets have a quick release system so that the metal is ejected as soon as the power is switched off.

Meanwhile, the HDG grab range has been extended to 25 models that weigh from 75kg to over 14tonnes. These can be matched to excavators from 1-250tonnes. The new HDG series is said to offer more powerful inner cylinders with end damping, with twin reinforced rotation motors for greater torque.

    SDLG is offering a new backhoe loader model for the Middle East and Africa markets. The firm claims that its B877F backhoe loader is efficient and versatile, with plenty of power and a high degree of manoeuvrability, allowing it to handle a wide range of applications. The SDLG B877F is a sideshift backhoe loader model and is 500kg lighter than its predecessor, the B877. The improved model benefits from a new engine, greater cab space, and better cooling capacity, as well as the latest loader linkage.

    February 14, 2012
    New generation wheeled pavers aimed at use in territories such as the UK, Italy, South Africa and Southern Germany are now coming to market. Pavers in these countries are often expected to be driven from one part of a site to another or for short distances, which is why the additional mobility of the wheeled machine is preferred in many instances over similarly-sized tracked models. This preference for wheeled units comes in spite of the greater stability offered by tracked machines. BOMAG, Caterpillar and

    JCB has high hopes for its new Hydradig wheeled excavator, which is said to offer high versatility and stability, as well as visibility, mobility, manoeuvrability and serviceability. A key feature of the machine is the novel layout of its engine and fuel tank, mounted on the lower chassis member rather than on the rotating upperstructure. This helps provide a much better view from the newly-designed cab, aided by large glass panels, and allows the operator to see all four wheels. This radical design also lo
