The company, Huarachi, has mounted a crusher bucket on a skid steer loader to provide a versatile and productive way of producing aggregates for construction. The firm is using the attachment to recover waste materials inn a quality format that can be used as a key constituent in making reinforced concrete. The firm says that the unit is more efficient and cost-effective than previous methods employed. The MB-L120 has been mounted on a Caterpillar 246D skid steer loader.

    A new study by civil engineers at MIT shows that using stiffer pavements on America’s roads could reduce vehicle fuel consumption by as much as 3%, that could add up to US$15.6 billion at today’s oil prices. This would result in an accompanying annual decrease in CO2 emissions of 46.5 million tonnes. The study, released in a recent peer-reviewed report, is the first to use mathematical modelling rather than roadway experiments to look at the effect of pavement deflection on vehicle fuel consumption across t
