A new tunnel formwork system from Pilosio reduces the time needed for assembly. Made from standard components, this can be used for a wide range of geometries.
The application range and machine choices available for the utility equipment sector continues to grow and evolve - Mike Woof reports The development of the tracked loader from the skid steer loader in recent years has been a major development for the utility equipment sector. The tracked loader offers huge advantages in terms of working stability and low ground pressure operation. When these machines first began appearing on the market, customers were sceptical and there were many comments that there was n
Two major manufacturers, Caterpillar and Wirtgen, are introducing new milling machines. Both firms say that these new, high-production units will offer increased output compared with earlier generation equipment.
From Caterpillar come the new PM820, PM822 and PM825 machines, which are half-lane milling machines able to handle full-depth removal of asphalt and concrete pavements in a single pass. The firm claims that these units are highly productive and highly manoeuvrable. In operation the machines weig
Wirtgen’s new W 220 XFi cold milling machine has been designed to work across as many applications as possile, “from surface layer rehabilitation to complete asphalt removal,” says the German manufacturer.
“Specific carbon emissions are low and milling performance is high plus, in automatic mode, Mill Assist selects the operating strategy with the most favourable balance between milling performance and operating costs.”
According to MOBA, its latest range of measuring and control systems suit duties with a wide array of mobile machines. The new range can be used to control quality during asphalt paving, can work on excavators and provide 3D levelling system for graders and dozers.
