LiuGong’s new 21-tonne 856H-E MAX wheeled loader is part of the company's range of electric construction vehicles worldwide. Powering the machine is a 432kWh large-capacity lithium-ion phosphate battery from renowned battery manufacturer CATL.
Caterpillar is introducing two new technologies for its mini excavator range, Ease of Use Indicate and E-Fence. These are offered for the Cat 306 CR, 308 CR and 309 CR next generation mini hydraulic excavators.
Trimble is expanding the capabilities of its EarthWorks machine control technologies. The firm introduced the first EarthWorks package for use with excavators in 2017 and is now offering a similar system using many of the same components for the dozer market. According to Martin Wagener, worldwide product implementation manager for Trimble explained: “There are the same sensors for the dozer as on the excavator." The compact and rugged inertial motion sensors (IMUs) are mounted on the dozer and measure
CONTROLS says it is offering a new system that provides more accurate testing of concrete and cement. The AUTOMAX E-Modulus can be used for both the standard failure test and the determination of the Modulus of Elasticity. This modulus is a key parameter to verify the behaviour of building structures under load, such as in seismic areas or for high buildings. This determination is performed conforming various national Standards as DIN 1048/1, ASTM C469, BS 1881:121, ISO 6784, UNI 6556. The accuracy of the c
