Engcon’s new sorting grab

Engcon has developed a new sorting grab specifically for mini excavators. The new grab, the SK02, is suited to use with mini excavators in the 1.5-3tonne class. The new, smaller grab has been in demand for a long time by Engcon's mini excavator customers who find the larger SK05 too big for their machines. With a weight of only 109kg, a width of 400mm and a maximum grab strength of 5.7kN, the new SK02 is ideal for mini-diggers. Like most of Engcon's hydraulic tools, the top bracket is bolt-on and can

Like most of Engcon's hydraulic tools, the top bracket is bolt-on and can be easily adapted to the hitch that the digger-owner already has. The SK02 also has bolt-on cutting blades, prepared for digging teeth, and can be delivered with side cheeks so it can also be used as a clamshell bucket.

    Advances in transmission technology will help to optimise machine performance – writes Mike Woof. As construction machines have become more sophisticated, so have the transmission systems used in items of equipment. Advances in electronics and software in particular have allowed the development of integrated transmissions. These operate more efficiently and help optimise power delivery from an engine, boosting torque response and cutting fuel consumption and emissions at the same time. The smart electronics

    April 18, 2012
    Mecalac has introduced a rail-road version of its compact 8MCR crawler excavator. The machine has two sets of hydraulically-lowered rail wheels that use the dozer blade circuit to lift it clear of the tracks. The wheels can be set at 1,000mm, 1,435mm and 1,668mm widths, to suit various European rail networks. Activation of the on-rail function automatically turns on all regulatory lighting, limits the working height of the equipment, limits upper structure rotation and activates a load monitoring system.
