2012 sees the start of a new wheeled excavator programme from Liebherr, and the A916 represents the first fruit from the project. Replacing the A316 Litronic, the new A916 has been developed to meet Stage IIIB emissions requirements and has an operating weight from 17-18.1 tonnes depending on specification. Power comes from a four-cylinder 110kW engine with common rail fuel injection, EGR and DOC – a DPF is available as an optional extra for those working inside buildings.
Following the successful integration of CDC Dynamic Load Control management in its agricultural telehander range, Merlo is introducing the technology to its construction models at INTERMAT The system is an advanced method of load management, and effectively places a real-time image of the handler’s load chart on a colour screen in the cab, showing the weight and position of the load on the chart, at all times.
Using a Perkins 1104D-E44TA engine, Bobcat’s TL470HF telehandler gets an output of 97.5kW. Enough, said the firm, to put some step into the 7,130kg machine, which offers a maximum lift capacity of 3.5tonnes and a maximum lift height of seven metres.
It might be logical to think that bigger construction machines will be harder to steer – but then there’s the Wacker Neuson DT25 crawler-mounted dumper.
Doosan Portable Power, who will be exhibiting at Intermat 2012, has introduced a new branding scheme for the company’s leading ranges of portable air compressors, generators and lighting towers.

XGMA excavators, such as the XG806 and XG808 mini excavators on show at Intermat 2012, have high quality Isuzu engines, configured with two fuel filters, oil-water separator and two-stage air filter for harsh environments.
New Holland is catering for growing demand for compact telehandlers with the launch of the LM625. The new LM625 ‘all-access telehandler’, which will make its first appearance at the INTERMAT 2012 show, has been developed to work in tough conditions and confined spaces such as urban sites.
