The CONTROLS Group is widening its array of asphalt testing technologies. New from the Group is the PAVELAB50. This has been developed by the PAVELAB SYSTEMS division and is an automatic closed loop system for the separation and extraction of bitumen, filler and aggregates asphalt samples. This uses solvents, according to ASTM D2172 and EN 12697-1. The test methods are used for measuring bitumen in hot-mixed paving mixtures and paving samples for specification acceptance, service evaluation, control and res

Doka’s Concremote makes it possible to measure concrete strength on the site and in real time. It uses the weighted maturity method, as developed by de Vree, to provide reliable, standards-compliant information on the strength development of the concrete. This facilitates targeted management of the forming and CIP concreting operations. The advantage of the method is the measurement take place directly in the concrete element. With well-placed sensors - thermos-couples - the temperature can easily be mea

Haulotte is lifting the performance of its telescopic handler range with the addition of the HTL5210 heavy load machine. The telescopic has a lift capacity of 5.2tonnes with a maximum lift height of 10. The machine also boasts a maximum forward reach of 3.5tonnes to 5.8m. The machine has been developed to meet the needs of the recycling and mining industries and is available with a range of specialist attachments to suit these applications. The French manufacturer is launching a revised website, with micro

Sennebogen has revised its 125tonne crawler crane, the 3300, from the ground up and optimised it to meet Tier 4f emission standards. A 186-kW diesel engine and a multi-circuit hydraulic system power the 160-kN winch at rope speeds of up to 105m/min with ease. A Star Lifter crawler undercarriage adds stability and allows the rig to be driven under load. Crawler tracks can be removed for transport, after which the base machine, at just 3.2m wide, can be easily transported. The Sennebogen self-assembly

Simex is marking its 25th anniversary with the introduction of several new attachment products for screening, crushing and cutting. Aimed at the screening market the firm is offering the versatile VSE 20 and VSE 30 buckets, which share patented technology and other features with the existing VSE 40 model. Like the VSE 40, these have the patented system able to hydraulically adjust the output size of the screened material. These size changes can be made from the cab of the carrier machine. Both models are co

SDLG says that its new E635F mini excavator offers high performance and reliability. This 3.5tonne class mini excavator offers a standard bucket capacity of 0.11m3 and an excavating force of 32kN. Power for the machines is supplied by a Yanmar 4TNV88 diesel. The machine is also benefits from the firm’s improved E-series cab, which is said to boost safety as well as operator comfort while allowing a good field of vision. Based on well proven technology, this machine is aimed particularly at customers in emer

Rototilt, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016, is introducing an additional tiltrotator to its line-up, to better suit excavators in the 14-19tonne sector. The R5 has been designed to sit between, and slightly overlap the existing R4 and R6 models, delivering an improved power to weight ratio for mid-range excavators. The attachment features improved castings and hardening techniques that will be integrated into existing models. The R5 can be equipped with an optional smart ICS control system

RUBBLE MASTER is introducing an innovative crusher that features electric power. This allows the unit to meet the toughest emissions regulations for use in in mining and tunnel building. The unit retains the proven features of the RM Compact Crushers, which can be used to recycle construction and demolition waste as well as natural rock effectively and directly on site. The new model shares the straightforward set-up and intuitive operation of existing crushers from the firm. The new machine can cope with a

Haver & Boecker has further developed its Niagara M-Class to optimise the different features of its predecessor models and add an even more high-performance multiple-deck screening machine to its product line. “The Niagara M-Class is the optimum solution when it comes to fine and ultra-fine particle ranges and when multiple cut sizes are needed and cut size precision is increasingly essential,” says the company. The application range of linear vibrating screens is broad, and the system is used for cl

The machinery and equipment hire sector in Italy saw a slight upturn in business for 2015 over that for 2014, a rise of 0.7%. The hire sector is worth more than €1.3 billion, with the main products being scaffolding and cranes – about €360 million. Platform rentals were around €280 million and earth moving machinery totalled €260 million. Prefabricated modules brought in €100 million, while power generator sets were around €110 million. The incremental improvement was likely due to an “Expo effect”, a
