Ammann says that its prototype eAPX 68/95 3D Vibratory Compactor offers an innovative solution for compaction works, particularly in restricted urban working areas. According to the firm, eAPX 68/95 is the first vibratory plate on the market that can move in an arc, circle or turn on the spot.

Sumitomo says that its new HA60-11 asphalt paver models are available in wheeled and tracked variants and offer increased versatility and performance.

Linarc says that it is offering a comprehensive, cloud-based construction project management software that can foster collaboration and efficiency for mid- to large- scale projects. The firm claims that its software can solve the daily challenges that owners, design teams, and contractors confront while driving projects to completion.

Topcon says that its new Pavelink system offers efficient logistics for asphalt supplies from the plant to the paving operation. Each truck load from the plant is weighed, with data showing the type of mix and also the estimated time of arrival at the paving site.

Austrian manufacturer HHB Batsch Dynaweigh has improved the performance of its weigh-in-motion scales for vehicle weights.

Using the new Trimble Roadworks Paving Control Platform version 2.10 is said to boost the accuracy and efficiency of asphalt paving work.

Hexagon’s Leica Geosystems division is now offering an innovative proximity alert package that can help boost site safety. Site personnel and machines carry tags that are recognised by the system and can be identified in the back office. When a site worker comes into proximity with a machine or two pieces of equipment come too close, the system will provide an alert. The tag that the site worker carries will resonate, showing that the person is too close to a working machine. Meanwhile, the alert system in the machine cab will provide a warning to the operator that a person is in the vicinity of the piece of equipment, showing distance as well as direction. Magnus Thibblin, president of the machine control division at Hexagon explained, “The goal is to give the operator visibility of personnel around the machine.”

The Flydeck system from Pilosio simplifies and speeds up the assembly of suspended scaffolding and structures more safely.Importantly, because it is an under-bridge suspended system, there is no need to stop bridge traffic or close lanes. The system consists of 25cm or 45cm aluminium or steel lattice girders connected by patented pins and spring pins.

Volvo CE is now offering a new screed heating option for its asphalt pavers, which can also be retrofitted to existing machines

Komatsu is unveiling its prototype electric compact wheeled loader, which has been designed and built together with Moog, a specialist in the field of precision control components and systems. Moog’s Intelligent electric system includes an electric traction motor, lift, tilt and steering electric cylinders, power electronics, system control computer, battery, and battery management system. The integrated control system connects and coordinates the actions across the machine, while the all-electric actuators and motors drive the machine’s traction and loading system, offering high efficiency and controllability.

Giatec says that its new SmartMix package is a mix management, automated mix analytics, and reporting software. This is said to allow producers to optimise their concrete mixes in real time to reduce cement usage and mix cost.

Many bridges and roads around the world are in poor condition due to age, wear and tear, and environmental factors, requiring repair or even replacement. To make our roads and bridges safer, transportation agencies must prioritize strategic investments to improve and preserve roadway conditions, as well as plan for constructing new roadways.

Kleemann is premiering its mobile impact crusher MOBIREX MR 130(i) PRO. The latest member of the Wirtgen Group brand’s PRO line, the extremely powerful plant is used as a primary and secondary crusher in natural stone and recycling and meets high environmental standards. Local emission-free operation is said to be possible thanks to the model’s E-DRIVE diesel-electric drive with the option of external power supply.
