Manitou has strengthened its electric recharging solutions with an external fast charger that kicks out 30kWh of power.

It offers extended compatibility with Manitou’s MT range of telehandlers and the ME lift electric range of forklifts by guaranteeing a big 60% recharge of the battery in less than one hour.

Case has developed a concept wheeled loader to showcase new and developing technologies. The “Impact” is fully electric and features Case’s semi-autonomous “click & dig” system, but the most notable thing about the machine it its silhouette - it has no cab. It has been designed for remote operation.

“We can imagine in the future that we can drive the machine fully automatically from a kind of site control lounge,” explained Fabrizio Cepollina, head of construction for EMEA Case. “It could be interesting for dangerous areas such as demolition.”

Case Construction Equipment has unveiled a new concept machine, developed by the Construction Equipment segment’s Innovation Department in collaboration with CNH Industrial Design.

The manufacturer says the forward-thinking concept represents a significant leap in automation, offering a glimpse into the next generation of construction equipment.

Liebherr is demonstrating its innovative autonomous wheeled loader concept as well as a novel remote control dozer package.

The highly advanced autonomous driving system for wheeled loaders is called the Liebherr Autonomous Operations and has been developed in-house.

LiuGong is setting the pace in the rigid dumptruck market with its introduction of a new, all-electric machine. The DR50CE truck is aimed at the 50tonne capacity class and features a loaded gross weight of 85tonnes. According to the firm, this self-charging truck has proved its capability in Norway’s demanding tunnelling and quarrying applications.

Ammann’s eARX 26-2 Light Tandem Roller features a fully electric drive that can operate for up to 10 hours without recharging.

While categorised as a ‘light’ machine, the compactor actually has an operating weight of 2,640kg. “To have a fully electric machine of this size is a breakthrough,” said Vlasta Medek, Ammann’s global commercial manager for heavy compaction.

Because it is not a combustion engine, the eARX 26-2 is extremely quiet during operation. Sound levels reaching the operator station are 46% less than a diesel version.

Versatility and manoeuvrability are key features of Wirtgen’s new SP 33 concrete slipformer. This machine is available in both Offset and Crosspave versions.

Hidromek’s 500LCHD H4 is a crawler excavator with a heavy-duty construction, designed for durability and performance in quarries and other challenging work site.

The 52tonne machine from the Turkish manufacturer has a 3.2m³ bucket capacity and a maximum digging depth of 6.48m and a digging reach of up to 10.77m. It is powered by a six-cylinder, 270kW Isuzu AQ-6UZ1X engine.

BOMAG says that its new BR 95 e round plate vibratory unit offers a powerful and compact compaction solution. Designed for efficiency and ease of use, this electric unit suits use on projects with strict emission requirements. The BR 95 e can carry out compaction tasks in confined spaces and is said to offer a reliable alternative to combustion engine models.

Develon is unveiling its prototype BEV Zero-Emission 14tonne wheeled excavator, which is still in development. The machine is aimed at use in urban work and the firm plans to develop a line-up of various BEV products.

Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe is launching the HX19e, its first battery electric mini excavator.

The new model weighs in at 2,296kg when equipped with a full cab and large capacity battery pack. Hyundai CEE says the compact machine will provide the ideal digging solution for urban utilities, landscaping and gardening, tunnel and basement excavation and for many local authority tasks, such as cemeteries and sports facilities.

A joint venture between Hitachi and Kiesel Technology builds special application machines for demolition. The machines are made in Germany by KTEG and these include the KTEG 390HR, which is based on a Hitachi ZX350, and equipped with an extendable undercarriage, additional counterweight and tiltable demolition cab. The fixed mounted 23m high-reach boom allows an attachment weight of 3.5tonnes.

CIFA is introducing three new concrete machines, as well as new models and solutions that simplify job site operations and boost safety. Electric power is a key feature for machines being made available from CIFA in the future, with variants for the Energya being made available that are electric.

The High Recycling Technology (HRT) Asphalt Batch Plant is a premium Ammann plant, with advanced technologies. It can incorporate up to 100% RAP with extremely low energy consumption and emissions.

The double-drum system combines a virgin aggregate drum with either an RAH60 or RAH100 recycling drum. Indirect, gentle heating reduces fuel burn and emissions. Heat distribution is more homogenous, too, which prevents sticking – as does the vertical flow.
