Wirtgen is now offering an innovative satellite-based AutoTrac steering system for its wheeled WR-series recyclers and stabilisers. According to the firm, this allows the machines to deliver efficient working, providing precision steering to centimetre accuracy. The system works uses a previously determined reference strip and a specified overlap of adjacent strips, allowing consistent use of the optimum working width, boosting efficiency.
Concrete specialist Simem’s most recent launch is the Bison mobile batching plant. Designed with road construction in mind, the Bison range benefits from a sophisticated weighing mechanism, created over a three-year research and development programme with input from the Politecnico di Milano’s mechatronic department.
