Possibly the oldest company at INTERMAT - pewag, whose origins date back to 1479 - showed new chain link designs for its range of tyre protection products and new vertical lifting clamps. The pewag tycoon ultra-resistant link now features a wider design for greater stability and longer life due to a greater wear surface. The design also reduces the movement between link and ring which contributes to increased lifetime. The tycoon link is aimed at giant wheel loaders and operations in the most abrasive har

A highly sophisticated new road repair system from Secmair allows users to make efficient road repairs. The system features an innovative laser scanner unit, which monitors the road condition ahead of the vehicle. It then automatically switches on the spray emulsion and chipseal materials flow as the vehicle travels over the cracked or potholed area requiring repair. The detection of the damaged road surface is completely automatic, as is the application of the surface treatment to repair the area. Yvon Ger

Rollers working in tandem will avoid duplicating passes with new Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System. “With this system, the compactor operators share information at a new level,” said Dwayne Rosie, software sales engineer with the Heavy Civil Construction Division. “The colour mapping on the screen can be transferred from one machine’s screen to the other.” The transfer is done in real-time, meaning each operator knows what area the other has covered. “It’s important on many jobsites, including thos

Some European equipment manufacturers are taking advantage of low currency values to boost sales at the moment. Hamm’s marketing manager Gottfried Beer said: “We see that with the exchange rate it’s a chance for us.” Both for Hamm and its rival BOMAG, for example, the low value of the European currency against the US dollar gives a significant price advantage.
