Italian concrete pump manufacturer CIFA is introducing two new concrete pumps for 2016 in the shape of its K36L and K40C models. The K36L has been developed to meet the needs of European customers and slots into the firm’s STEELTECH range. The firm has designed the K36L so that it can comply with the 26tonne weight limit for a three axle chassis. The machine is lightweight in construction for its reach and has over 1.5tonnes of load reserve. The pump features a four-section boom made from steel, with a

FRD (Furukawa Rock Drill) is offering its new VXB serie primary crusher, comprising three models for excavators from 2-13tonnes operating weight. The VXB serie has been specially designed for work on the reconstruction, modernisation and stripping of existing buildings, where compact excavators with suitable attachments are required. FRD says compact design, large jaw opening and high crushing power are three features of this serie, with the crushers having an integrated booster system, which allows

Finnish company Ramtec’s products are geared around the Robi brand name, with the core product being the new Robi RP32R pulveriser, which is the third model in the series and is designed for secondary stage demolition. It can be mounted on excavators between 22-35tonnes, and the weight without the top plate is 2.67kg. It has a maximum opening of 882mm with a jaw depth of 876mm. There are several improvements, including a high speed valve, changeable wear parts, rotation (optionally without rotation),

The new ECR35D, EC35D and ECR40D compact excavators from Volvo Construction Equipment feature comfortable cabs and advanced, easy-to-use controls for precise operation. The ECR35D and ECR40D short swing versions are designed to work with power and precision in tight spaces. The more conventionally designed EC35D features similar architecture and delivers high levels of comfort, performances and versatility. The cabs are FOPS, TOPS and ROPS rated with a large door and three-point-access to allow saf

Hinowa is relaunching its HS701 mini dumper with a choice of petrol power. The compact machine, which was originally Kubota-powered, will now be offered with a choice of 6kW manual start and 9.6kW electric start Honda petrol engines. Both machines can be specified with a standard skip or a self-loading dumper skip, offering a maximum load capacity of 700kg. The compact dumper has a width of just 758mm, to allow it to pass through a standard doorway. The rubber tracks ensure minimal damage on sensitive groun

BBA Pumps has launched a new line-up of dewatering pumps. The company says that the main focus went into the reduction of the carbon footprint, with all units standardised on the cleanest highly-regulated diesel engines to comply with stringent European emission legislations. The pumps are designated BA100K (4” unit); BA180E (8”) and BA300E (12”). The BA100K, driven by single cylinder Hatz with a DPF module, can pump 190m³/hour and has a maximum head of 22mwc (metre water column). The next in line, th

Atlas Copco says that its LP705 walk-behind duplex roller shares features with the recently introduced LP605 model. The LP7505 is a larger model and retains the flip-up hood seen on the LP605, which allows easy access for engine maintenance or battery charging. Of note is that the manual brakes have been replaced with new automatic hydraulic brakes; when pressure goes down, the unit brakes automatically. If pressure goes up, the brakes are released. Other features include new scrapers to avoid material adhe

The new 15.25tonne FRD Furukawa crawler drill HCR1450-ED fills the gap between the well-known models HCR1200-EDII and HCR1500-EDII. A larger compressor; more powerful drifter; fuel-saving options, and a Tier 4i (stage 3B) Cummins engine are among the features along with a new Can Bus sytem connected to the operating panel, that gives the operator several options to control the fuel consumption. All drilling parameters can be monitored and adjusted from the cabin to achieve the best, most efficient a

Volvo Construction Equipment’s new 55-tonne capacity Volvo A60H meets growing customer demand for articulated haulers with larger capacities. The articulated hauler concept was originally launched by Volvo in 1966 and celebrates its 50th birthday this year. The Volvo A60H’s higher payload – a 40% increase on Volvo’s A40 –lowers the cost-per-tonne for hauliers. It also offers an alternative to rigid dump trucks and construction trucks operating on soft, uneven or steep roads, allowing a similar amount

Austrian manufacturer of mobile crushing and screening machines, dsb Maschinenbau, is introducing a new dsb Innocrush machine. The company’ relaunch of the Innocrush 35 machine includes a screenbox IS2, while the hydraulically opening engine package will be wider. The company’s Innodrive system, the innovative drive concept without a clutch, is now installed as standard in all dsb machines. “We also found out that the main conveyor belt of the Innocrush 35 will now be longer and steeper, which naturally has

BHS-Sonthofen’s new generation of type DKXK twin-shaft batch mixers feature a rubber trough specially designed for producing calcium silicate bricks. Calcium silicate bricks are made of sand mixtures containing a high silicate, quicklime and water content, a highly abrasive material. BHS has therefore specifically developed the DKXK type of mixer for producing lime mixtures as an alternative version to the proven DKX type of twin-shaft batch mixer. Instead of a steel trough with a lining made of wea

BOMAG is offering two new recycling machines to meet the needs of customers. The RS500 has innovative features including a cab that can be raised to improve operator visibility while working, and lowered for transport from site to site. Another important feature of the RS500 recycler is its ability to offset the cutter drum by 300mm to either side. This allows the machine to work close to an edge or kerb and also means that there is no need to turn around on sites with restricted space. The machine is equip

Now part of the Wirtgen Group, Benninghoven is introducing new recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) developments. The firm says that its counterflow parallel drum system with hot gas generator offers considerable benefits for RAP applications. The new design ensures that the recycled material is heated in a counterflow cycle, flowing against the heat source in the drum. The design achieves a high material temperature while lowering exhaust gas temperature. The material no longer has to be run overheated, which c
