The first motorway connecting the cities of Hyderabad-Bangalore will be approximately 600km long, with three lanes in both directions. It will represent an important change in India as the country will benefit from a fast and greater flow of communication, transportation and commerce networks, which up until now have been carried out mainly by sea.

The SL50W-3 wheel loader by Shantui has been fitted with planetary power shift transmission and a coxial flow amplification type hydraulic steering system for flexible operation and energy efficiency. Also kitted out with a Dongfeng Cummins engine, the SL50W-3’s is said to have a highly articulated frame for a better turning radius and greater work flexibility. Its automatic bucket-leveling function is said by Shantui to ease operator handling, and its advanced Z-type reverse tipping mechanism with large br

It might be compact, but the recently launched Kramer Allrad 650 wheel-loader does not shirk from weighty construction matters. One of two Kramer machines for the 0.6m³ class, the 650 has an all-wheel steering mechanism which reduces materials handling time. The 650’s non-articulated chassis is said by Kramer to ensure high stability due to the constant centre of gravity. It also has traction drive.

The Kramer Allrad 550 wheel-loader is said to be a machine that constructs above its weight. Despite the machine’s compact design, Kramer claims it offers operators the “full loader performance” of a “big machine”. One of two recently to market Kramer machines for the 0.6m³ class, the 550 is aimed mainly at customers in the construction industry, rental fleets and local authorities.

A truck-mounted concrete pump with five distributor mast arms for the 40m category, the SYG 5320 THB 42 with RZ5 placing boom has low-mounted roll fold and Z-fold. The model’s sturdy self-supporting basic frame has supporting arms at the front which have dual telescoping capability. The support can be swung out hydraulically at the rear and pivoted directly on the basic frame. This manoeuvre transfers the forces from the load torque of the placing boom directly to the rear supports, ensuring stable working

Sany is showcasing its recently launched stationary concrete pump machines at Intermat 2012 alongside its new truck-mounted models. The HBT 80C-1818, one of the firm’s two stationary models to be featured in the exhibition, has a powerful 170kW, and despite only coming onto the market in recent months, is already in demand on the world’s construction sites.

As well as choosing Intermat 2012 to unveil its truck-mounted concrete pumps, Sany will also be showcasing its recently launched stationary models. The HBT 60C-1816 is, according to the Chinese company, a response to increasing market demand for ever greater performance in drive and delivery pressure. Attractively designed and equipped with hydraulic drive components from leading manufacturers, the machines are equipped with the latest powerful 110 kW engine, whose electronic engine management ensures stabl

Haulotte Group (HG) will be unveiling a prototype of its new rough-terrain telescopic boom - the HT23RTJ – at INTERMAT 2012. The aerial work platform is said by the firm to have been designed in collaboration with a panel of customers, to ensure the machine meets the needs of a range of industries working at heights of up to 23m. Said by HG to be ideal for construction, shipbuilding, chemical, petrochemical, and aviation-based applications, the HTR23RTJ is also billed as demonstrating “unsurpassed” performa
