Michelin’s X-Crane tyre for mobile cranes has evolved into the X-Crane+, offering lower rolling resistance, improved tyre life of up to 15% and greater durability before irregular wear characteristics can be detected, it is claimed. Available in the most popular 445/95 R25 size, the X-Crane+ offers an F speed rating and a 6,700 kg payload, and has been engineered to be easier to mount and dismount from its wheel rim.

Transmission technology continues to evolve and ZF’s cPower transmission finally serves up a CVT gearbox (Continuously Variable Transmission) suited to wheeled loader use, eliminating the need for a torque converter. Using its experience gained in the agricultural tractor sector, where CVT gearboxes have been in use for over 10 years, the cPower transmission uses a blend of hydrostatics and mechanical drives to split power throughout the entire working speed range with the aim of managing and reducing engin

Doosan is now offering its new DL06K engine, which is designed to meet the needs of the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions requirements. Delivering 91kW at 1,950rpm, this six cylinder diesel is said to be both powerful and economical and weighs in at 900kg. Common rail, direct injection feeds the fuel to this 5.9litre four stroke diesel engine, which is also turbocharged.

John Deere intends to use a package of technologies in its new diesels to achieve the low emissions performance required for Tier 4 Final/Stage IV compliance in the US and Europe. The regulations maintain the strict particulate matter (PM) emission levels established by Interim Tier 4/Stage III B regulations, while requiring an additional 80% reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx). To meet Final Tier 4/Stage IV emissions regulations in some power categories, John Deere has developed what it calls the Integrated

Volvo Construction Equipment (VCE) was one of the first manufacturers to market with its Stage IIIB compliant engine powered machines. According to VCE, the past 12-months has seen their customers clock up over 1.9million accumulated hours using its IIIB compliant engines in company machines including D-Series excavators, F-Series articulated haulers and G-Series wheeled loaders. Anders Larsson, executive vice president for technology at VCE, says: “We took a courageous decision to launch our Stage IIIB com

Cummins has revealed its latest engine platform to cover the 37-55kW sector. Called the QSF2.8, the new four-cylinder platform is the smallest engine from Cummins to use full-authority electronic controls for high-pressure common rail injection. The 2.8litre engine is available in naturally aspirated (37kW) and turbocharged (55kW) packages, and has been developed as a global engine platform.
