Leica Geosystems is offering a new system that is said to help boost safety for personnel on construction sites. The innovative PA10 system utilises new technology to identify when personnel may be walking around a jobsite. The system then alerts machine operators to the presence as well as the location of construction personnel. At the same time, the system will warn any personnel walking around a site that construction machines are operating in the immediate vicinity.

One of MB Crusher’s hydraulic drum cutters has been used to carry out important work for a project in Nepal. Fitted to a Volvo CE EC210 excavator, the MB-R800 unit has been employed in the construction of a road section as well as a tunnel stretch. The road measures 7m-wide while the tunnel is 3.5m-wide by 4.5m-high and runs for a distance of 6.5km.

According to the client, the unit performed reliably in the tough application and was able to deliver a quality finish, while ensuring high productivity and utilisation.

SMT GB recently introduced the new Volvo EC37 and ECR40 compact excavators into England, Scotland and Wales.

Both the 3.5 tonne EC37 and the 4 tonne ECR40 boast smooth operation and easy servicing, as well as a spaciousness and more comfortable cab, according to SMT GB - the exclusive dealer of Volvo Construction Equipment and K-Tec Earthmover products in the three nations.

Bomag is introducing a new generation, radio remote-controlled multi-purpose compactor. The BMP 8500 compactor is said to be powerful and robust and features an improved radio control system over previous models.

The firm says that using radio control offers better performance than infrared systems, which allows multiple units to operate simultaneously onsite. Should a remote control unit go missing, a new unit can be paired without the need for special knowledge or tools.

Powerscreen has made over 1,000 Warrior machines at its state-of-the-art facility in Hosur, India. The firm established its manufacturing presence in India 15 years ago, contributing to the growth and development of the country’s industrial sector. The 1000th machine, a Warrior 600 (now known as a Titan 600), represents the culmination of years of research, development, and engineering expertise.

It’s a picturesque Sicilian landscape of small roads stretching up and down hills and around tight curves. But when these small roads need big renovations, it takes a large machine to do it fast and efficiently. This is why a contractor chose the W 210 Fi large milling machine which can mill up the entire roadway in two-to-three passes.

With the launch of the PW168-11 and PW198-11, Komatsu reports it has rounded up the operating weights of its wheeled excavator range to 20 tonnes.

Komatsu says that the new machines - at 16 and 20 tonnes - are compact and easy to transport yet powerful and versatile.

There is no need for a special low-bed trailer. With a low transportation height of just 3.1m, they can be transported on standard low-bed trailers with a loading height of up to 4m. The short rear overhang of 1.85m (PW168-11) or 1.9m (PW198-11) is ideal for narrow construction sites.
