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.

    Paving machines vary considerably in North America compared with those units used elsewhere. On a worldwide basis, pavers with tamper bar screeds are popular having been developed in Europe and also favoured by Japanese and Chinese firms. But in the US the length of highways to be constructed resulted in a focus on high production pavers, which still continues today. North America and Latin America are key markets for these machines, with Australia being one of the few territories to employ both European an

    The weight distribution in Bobcat’s new E25 reduced tail swing (RTS) compact excavator is said to be optimised through the use of proven ‘4-plate box’ technology to reduce he weight of the workgroup, which moves the centre of gravity of the machine towards the back of the excavator. As a result, the E25 does not require any additional counterweight. This enhances the stability and ensures that the E25 model can be transported by trailer more easily.
