New engine architecture from Perkins will help the firm deliver emissions solutions to meet future regulations. In Europe the Stage V requirements are being finalised but Perkins says that it will be ready with its new technology.
Efficient new soil compaction machines featuring the latest technology are now coming to market – Mike Woof reports The start of 2014 has seen a major development for the construction equipment sector, with the Tier 4 Final emissions requirements at last beginning to take effect. The implications of the drive towards the introduction of low emission engine technology have been seen right across the off-highway machinery equipment industry, and the soil compaction segment is no exception.
The latest developments in asphalt compaction equipment will help boost productivity and finish quality. The new generation compactors can utilise the latest generation machine control tools to deliver quality within the short timeframe determined by the asphalt temperature. Ammann has broadened its asphalt compaction range with the addition of the new ARP 95 K pivot-steer roller and the articulated ARX 90 and ARX 26 models. These units are available with Ammann’s proprietary ACE compaction systems to optim
Asphalt paver manufacturers are introducing new models, many of which are aimed at specific market needs – Mike Woof writes
A range of new asphalt paver models are coming to market, with some having been developed specifically for certain markets. China’s demand for construction equipment has resulted in numerous firms developing machines just for this market for example.
Customers in China have long favoured the European-style machines, featuring tamper bar screeds, over the machines with vibrating
Advances in drive technology are being seen from several key firms as new generation, compact electric systems begin entering the market - Mike Woof writes
Major innovations in machine systems are being seen in the construction equipment sector. Several manufacturers are hedging their bets with regard to drive technology and introducing electric drive machines, which will suit use in urban ultra-low emission zones.
Wacker Neuson has developed an array of electric machines in recent years including a numbe
