Rud’s new tyre chain product offers long life and ease of use
5824 RUD’s latest R-Lock and C-Link products are said to make the installation and repair of tyre protection chains quicker and safer. The Easy R-Lock’s revolutionary design replaces conventional, risky, hammer-home rolled steel securing pins and hazardous cutting gear with an integral, hex-key-operated two-piece, locking device. This simplifies and speeds the installation and removal of tyre protection chains. The product also offers benefits when there is a need to replace a damaged wear link. Until now, common practice has been to secure the replacement link by hammering home a non-removable, steel pin. However, the one piece, forged, steel Easy C-Lock is quickly secured and removed by rotating the integral locking device through 180° with a conventional flat head screw driver. Available in 16, 18 and 22mm sizes, both Easy R-Lock and Easy C-Lock can be used with any make of tyre protection chain according to the firm. Other recently introduced products being show include 3196 Erlau’s Crown X23, a profiled tyre protection chain capable of accommodating high tractive forces and the Granit Plus X23 links with additional wear volume for hard and abrasive surfaces. They also include the low-profile, light-weight, energy-saving Toro X19 for protection underground and the terrier-toothed Terra Plus X16 traction chain.
From Bell Equipment comes a special version of its B30 truck in the shape of a 4x4 version of the B30D. Introduced as part of the firm’s VersaTruck programme, the 4x4 version of the B30D has been developed for a range of applications such as use in underground tunnel construction and underground mining, or quarrying. The shorter rear chassis and single rear axle means that the truck is able to manoeuvre in tighter spaces than the conventional B30 machine, suiting it to applications such as underground opera
Sateco says its new lift shaft podium (PCA) makes it possible to block and secure access to lift shafts during building work. It also maximises secure work and material storage space during the time it takes to build up concrete shells. Due to its adjustable telescopic feet and the dimension markings every 10cm along its adjustment pipes, it can be perfectly adjusted between heights of 2.7m and 4m. Its wooden working platform can also be extended using sliding cross-pieces that require neither screws nor na

Innovative water-powered drilling technology developed in Sweden is claimed to drill straighter and deeper than conventional systems. Said to be environmentally friendly, the Wassara drilling technology has been developed and perfected over 20 years by Swedish iron ore producer LKAB. Using the Wassara drills has allowed LKAB to drastically cut operating costs. A complete range is now offered and suits applications within ground engineering, dam rehabilitation and exploration drilling. The heart in the syste
