High mobility digging

Gradall Industries continues to develop its mobile excavators with the launch of the new XL4100III model. Highly mobile, the XL410III can be driven to job sites without the cost for a truck and lowboy trailer. Power comes from a fuel-efficient Detroit Diesel Mercedes engine that meets Tier 3 noise and emissions legislation. The machine is able to work in tighter spaces than its predecessor as its tail-swing is 305mm shorter. The carrier is offered in either 6x4 or 6x6 configurations, which weigh in a 21.5to

Gradall Industries continues to develop its mobile excavators with the launch of the new XL4100III model. Highly mobile, the XL410III can be driven to job sites without the cost for a truck and lowboy trailer. Power comes from a fuel-efficient 2960 Detroit Diesel 2796 Mercedes engine that meets Tier 3 noise and emissions legislation. The machine is able to work in tighter spaces than its predecessor as its tail-swing is 305mm shorter. The carrier is offered in either 6x4 or 6x6 configurations, which weigh in a 21.5tonnes and 22.4tonnes respectively.

The advanced hydraulic system features load-sensing valves with circuit reliefs on all circuits, increasing efficiency. The boom offers a maximum reach of 9.22m at grade; a dig depth of 6.17m and a lift height of 6.83m. The operator can quickly change between an array of attachments including excavating, trenching, ditching, pavement removal and dredging buckets. Also available are a single-tooth ripper, grading blade, tree limb shear, grapple, and boom extensions including the Telestick. A live boom extension can give the XL 410 III the ability to reach over obstacles and into ditches. Maintenance costs are said to be low while the new diesel allows for extended oil and filter changes, fuel filter and coolant replacement and valve adjustments and most service points can be reached at ground level.

  • Material transfer grows in popularity
    June 18, 2012
    Material transfer vehicles (MTVs) have become more and more popular over the years, particularly for large paving projects. These machines can help reduce materials segregation issues and also allow a more even heat profile in the mat, for more homogenous compaction. Roadtec has long held a strong position in this segment, with its highly successful Shuttle Buggy machine, which continues to be improved. However Roadtec is also now facing increasing competition from rival firms offering their own machines

    The excavator and wheeled loader segments represent massive sales volumes for manufacturers, so new model development is prioritised - Mike Woof writes. The crawler excavator segment accounts for a substantial portion of total sales of construction machines. With this in mind, it is no surprise that this is a market segment for which manufacturers prioritise a significant proportion of their research and development budgets. Wheeled loaders, while not selling in quite such large numbers as crawler excava

  • Construction adapting with Machine control Technologies
    June 18, 2015
    Machine control technologies are revolutionising construction – Dan Gilkes writes Electronic control of engines, transmissions and hydraulic systems, primarily to reduce exhaust emissions and boost productivity, is also providing manufacturers with an opportunity to incorporate increasingly complex machine control into their equipment. This in turn has the potential to make the machinery more productive, further cutting fuel consumption as part of a virtuous operational circle.
