A 50-tonne prototype dump truck is the centrepiece of Bell’s impressive stand at INTERMAT 2015 and offers a real glimpse of the heavy construction industry’s future.
The latest XG30090 skid steer loader from Xiamen XGMA Machinery (known as XGMA) is powered by a 50.8kW Yanmar 4TNV98 engine and has Bosch Rexroth hydraulics. The CE-marked machine has a rated load of 926kg, its 0.5m3 bucket has 24kN of breakout with 30° of rollback and a maximum dump height of 2375mm. Service access is simplified with a forward tilting cab.
JCB has updated its 1.5tonne 8018 CTS mini excavator. The conventional tailswing machine has an improved lift capacity, thanks to a return to a box-section boom, with an 11% increase in digging depth. Dump height and reach are also improved, and the mini has a new dozer blade for greater pushing performance. Upgraded hydraulics, with longer travel valves increase control and allow straight line tracking while using upper structure functions.
