The first motorway connecting the cities of Hyderabad-Bangalore will be approximately 600km long, with three lanes in both directions. It will represent an important change in India as the country will benefit from a fast and greater flow of communication, transportation and commerce networks, which up until now have been carried out mainly by sea.

The construction project for an industrial park, which includes building the roads linking to the facility, will benefit from the use of a stabiliser from BoMAG.

It might be compact, but the recently launched Kramer Allrad 650 wheel-loader does not shirk from weighty construction matters. One of two Kramer machines for the 0.6m³ class, the 650 has an all-wheel steering mechanism which reduces materials handling time. The 650’s non-articulated chassis is said by Kramer to ensure high stability due to the constant centre of gravity. It also has traction drive.

The Kramer Allrad 550 wheel-loader is said to be a machine that constructs above its weight. Despite the machine’s compact design, Kramer claims it offers operators the “full loader performance” of a “big machine”. One of two recently to market Kramer machines for the 0.6m³ class, the 550 is aimed mainly at customers in the construction industry, rental fleets and local authorities.

The model’s sturdy self-supporting basic frame has supporting arms at the front which have dual telescoping capability. The support can be swung out hydraulically at the rear and pivoted directly on the basic frame. This manoeuvre transfers the forces from the load torque of the placing boom directly to the rear supports, ensuring stable working

Sateco says its new lift shaft podium (PCA) makes it possible to block and secure access to lift shafts during building work. It also maximises secure work and material storage space during the time it takes to build up concrete shells. Due to its adjustable telescopic feet and the dimension markings every 10cm along its adjustment pipes, it can be perfectly adjusted between heights of 2.7m and 4m. Its wooden working platform can also be extended using sliding cross-pieces that require neither screws nor na
