Versatility is a key feature of Hitachi’s latest ZXW7 wheeled excavator models. These short-tail swing ZX135W-7, ZX175W-7 and ZX220W-7 are said to be able to handle a wide variety of applications. Attachments can be transported with the optional trailer package, and can be changed easily using the attachment support system. All three models can be equipped with two-piece booms to further boost versatility.

Develon’s Transparent Bucket safety system gets rid of a wheeled loader operator’s blind spots.

For years, the area in front of wheeled loaders has been considered an area of major concern in terms of safety. With the Develon transparent bucket function, however, the driver can easily check the blind spots in front of the bucket via the cab monitor, to increase safety and prevent accidents.

Whatever power a client wants in its heavy equipment – from electric and diesel to hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen ICE – ZQUIP can make it happen.

A CASE in point is exactly that - a CASE CX210ZQ and a CASE WX155ZQ concept excavators. ZQUIP, part of Moog Construction, and CASE collaborated to demonstrate how traditional diesel-hydraulic machinery can become zero-emissions machines with swappable energy modules that eliminate concerns about battery range.

XCMG has been highlighting many of its latest machines' new energy technologies, including the game-changing XCA60_EV, the world's first hybrid all-terrain crane developed for Europe.

The XCA60_EV allows for fully zero-emission lifting operating and dual-drive in jobsite transfer. The company said the XCA60_EV raises energy conservation and environmental protection to a new level.

Wacker Neuson has added new excavators and dumpers to its product line.
The DW10 dumper has a payload of 1tonne and the DW15 dumper has a payload of 1.5tonnes and both are said to offer good performance on tough terrain coupled with versatility.

The Wacker Neuson DV60 offers an innovative skip exchange system. The quick and easy replacement of the skip expands the range of applications and the utilisation of the machine.

Volvo Penta has highlighted its battery-electric platform for construction, emphasising its battery energy storage (BESS) subsystem.

The engine manufacturer says it delivers dependable power through its core pillars: proven combustion engines, purpose-built electric drivelines, and integrated battery energy storage subsystems.

Sunward’s focus on electric machinery and solutions tailored for Europe was highlighted by its new compact yet powerful SWE 10FE mini excavator.

Along with the SWE 20FE, it is ideal for urban and indoor projects, offering zero emissions and minimal noise.

A new tool from Triangle Tyre is said to optimise reliability for users. The TPMS system from the firm allows remote monitoring of tyres fitted to large construction machines.

This can help boost uptime and reduce costly downtime. Temperatures and pressures can be monitored to ensure reliability. The TPMS unit offers comprehensive, real-time tyre tracking and monitoring capabilities, boosting site safety and minimising unplanned and costly machine downtime.

Chinese firm Triangle Tyre is offering a new and improved product for the wheeled loader market. The latest 29.5R25 from the firm Is said to be both durable and long lasting, delivering effective traction in tough working conditions. The tyre features a 3-Star Rating TL559S+ L5 and is said to be designed for wheel loaders operating in both surface and underground applications.

Building steel composite bridges faster and with higher quality concrete carriageway slabs is possible with PERI’s new VCT Composite Track.

The system is already being used in Croatia and for construction of the new Thulba viaduct in Germany. Visitors will see a replica of the impressive project in the PERI exhibition hall. The composite track has also been named as a finalist for the bauma innovation award in the construction sector.

PERI subsidiary Vemaventuri says that sensor solutions can positively influence the construction process. Sensors are used to facilitate decision-making on the construction site and save resources.

Sensors can communicate the pressure exerted on the formwork during concreting as well as temperatures for determining the degree of concrete maturity to determining the water content in fresh concrete. Vemaventuri’s numerous types of sensors when combined with PERI systems offers added value.

ZQUIP and Leica Geosystems have collaborated on a prototype 8tonne excavator that is geospatially intelligent and powered by a swappable, zero-emissions battery system.

The modified CAT 308 concept excavator was successfully tested at a proving ground in France, noted ZQUIP, part of Moog Construction, and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon. The smart, clean vehicle is equipped with Leica Geosystems’ advanced machine control solution, which brings real-time data and precise design execution.
