One company at INTERMAT probably deserves ‘ten stars’ for safer cost-effective construction machine operator training. Established in 2009, Swedish firm Tenstar Simulation (TS) offers simulator training programs for new operators of a wide spectrum of construction machines, including wheel and truck excavators, wheel loaders, and tower and lorry cranes.

Italian technology company Outset has introduced two additional on-board weighing systems. The Lanx WL is a wireless control unit designed for use on road-going tipper trucks. It provides a real-time display of the net, gross, trailer and tractor axle weights, with an acoustic alarm to prevent overloading. The Lanx HD is intended for use in rigid dump trucks, and is directly installed in the cab. It displays the weight on board, allowing readings for each axle, and memorise round-trips for later download.

Machine control and safety specialist Prolec has developed a total machine control system, called Prolec Machine Engine (PME). Rather than having separate controllers for safety applications such as weighing, stability and safe load indication, plus additional controllers for digging applications and data capture, the PME aims to combine all of these features in a single module. Suitable for all makes of machines and capable of working with cranes, telehandlers, excavators, backhoe loaders, concrete, fork l

Deutz has announced its solutions to forthcoming engine emissions regulations and will use Intermat to showcase its entire engine portfolio equipped with D-Vert (Deutz Variable Emission Reduction Technology) components to meet Stage IV/Tier 4 regulations.

Cummins is using INTERMAT to display a full line-up of engines in the 56-506kW sector with next generation exhaust after treatment systems that meet EU Stage IV and EPA Tier 4 Final emissions regulations.

Lombardini, part of the Kohler Group, has launched a new range of engines that meet forthcoming emissions regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter.

Scania’s integration of XPi high pressure common rail injection and selective catalytic reduction has enabled the Swedish engine maker to meet 2014 Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions regulations without a diesel particulate filter. “Developments in metallurgy have helped to strengthen components and lead to increased injection pressures, typically up to 2400 bar,” said Scania industrial engine sales director, Bernt Gustavsson. “A compact DOC is neatly integrated into the SCR system, which saves on space needed

Yanmar Europe is using INTERMAT to reveal a new series of water-cooled industrial diesel engines that meet the new EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage IIIB off-highway emission regulations up to 56kW. Based on its TNV series, the new range includes 10 models in three- and four-cylinder formats with indirect and direct injection, and ranging from 10kW to 56kW. Four of these new engines, the 3TNV80F, 3TNV88C, 3TNV86CT and 4TNV98C, are at INTERMAT 2012. Engines over 19kW use an ECU-controlled common rail fuel injection, c

Low emission engines, with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) are now available in a further seven, C-series excavators. These include the CX130C, CX160C, CX180C, CX210C, CX210C Long Reach, CX470C and the CX470C ME.

Ascorel’s latest weighing systems for equipment such as wheeled loaders are now available with new temperature sensors for improved accuracy and quicker results when operating in extreme conditions.
