The three slipformer models from Miller Formless share key features such as control packages and telematics systems

The three machines are all powered by Tier 4 Final emissions compliant diesels. The M-1000 has a diesel delivering 73kW while the M-8100 and M-8800 have diesels delivering 129kW. All three models are four-track machines that feature the firm’s latest MFS control system, which includes a remote unit that allows the operator to stand in a position to best view the working area. In addition, the three machines are fitted with the necessary connections so that they are ready to use 3D control technology from key suppliers.

The machines can all be equipped with sophisticated telematics packages that can deliver real time data for remote monitoring. A wide range of options are available for all three models, including urethane and steel track pads and umbrella assemblies.

All three can be configured for right- or left-hand pouring. The versatile M-1000 can pour radii as tight as 610mm, as well as widths up to 1.52m, and measures just 2.59m wide for transport. Moving up in size, the M-8100 features frame widening of up to 1.22m and can be used for shoulder paving up to 3.65m and up to 4.87m for straddle paving. It can also be used for applications such as kerbing or forming barrier walls. The M8800 also offers 1.22m of frame widening and can be used for shoulder paving up to 3.66m wide and straddle paving up to 6.1m wide, as well as barriers up to 2.59m high.

    April 30, 2024

    With the launch of the PW168-11 and PW198-11, Komatsu reports it has rounded up the operating weights of its wheeled excavator range to 20 tonnes.

    Komatsu says that the new machines - at 16 and 20 tonnes - are compact and easy to transport yet powerful and versatile.

    There is no need for a special low-bed trailer. With a low transportation height of just 3.1m, they can be transported on standard low-bed trailers with a loading height of up to 4m. The short rear overhang of 1.85m (PW168-11) or 1.9m (PW198-11) is ideal for narrow construction sites.

    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

    Winter was coming in the northern US state of Illinois and Sangamo Construction had to build 1.5km of bridge parapets just before the end of the construction season. Sangamo Construction was contracted to work on five bridges where some parapets needed to be 1m high x 48cm thick at the bottom, tapering to a width of just under 27cm at the top, and with a perpendicular rear wall. As much as 26m3 of concrete were processed just for the construction of the four 150m-long parapets on the twin bridges on Interst
