Mecalac is expanding its telescopic handler offering with the introduction of a line of four-wheel steer telescopic machines. The AT series will initially consist of two machines the AT900 and the AT1050, both using what Mecalac calls Z plus kinematics to provide strong breakout forces with a parallel lift. The AT900 weighs 6,554kg and can be used with 0.9-1.5m3 capacity buckets. The larger AT1050 has been designed to work with 1.05-1.6m3 buckets and offers slightly high breakout forces and dump height.

Chris Bradshaw, Autodesk's vice-president for the Infrastructure Solutions division spoke to World Highways. The launch of the fourth version of its Civil 3D design software early this year will see software maker Autodesk getting serious about its road and general civil engineering package. Bigger projects can be handled in the 2008 version, and a range of new functionality is being added. "Though not everything we would like yet," said Chris Bradshaw, Autodesk's vicepresident for the Infrastructure S
