A new joystick control system in Gehl’s RS5-19 Telescopic Handler received rave reviews during customer testing and will increasingly be utilised in the company’s product line, an official said at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017.

Case CE is unveiling an innovative compact solution for dozing needs at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017. Based on the chassis of a compact tracked loader, the DL 450 is the fruit of the firm’s ‘Project Minotaur’.

The world’s first 3D-printed excavator was unveiled in the new Tech Experience zone of CONEXPO-CON/AGG. Project AME (Additive Manufactured Excavator), led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and involving multiple partners from industry, trade associations and academia, was instigated back in 2014 when visiting members of the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP) saw ORNL’s 3D-printed car.

Komatsu America says the new HB365LC-3 hybrid excavator, being introduced at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017, can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%. The cutting-edge 36tonne class model, from one of the world’s leading heavy equipment manufacturers, features improved hybrid and total-vehicle-control systems, generating that impressive double-digit reduction in fuel consumption, while maintaining or exceeding operating performance, compared to same weight class, non-hybrid excavators.

From its Gold Lot stand, Caterpillar is remotely operating a D8T dozer situated 1,700 miles away in Peoria, Illinois. The CAT Command remote control system offers a choice of two operator interfaces - a portable operator console designed for line-of-sight use and an ergonomically-designed operator station that can be located remotely.

Atlas engineers paid particular attention to the comfort of the operator when recently redesigning the cab of its 160 MH material handler. A new automatic climate control system keeps the interior temperature comfortable no matter the outside weather.

Built as a heavy-duty machine, Caterpillar’s 323F LN excavator is specially designed with reinforced structures and massive counterweights. It can be used for severe applications and is equipped with heavy-duty booms and sticks made of high-strength steel and box section construction with internal baffies for added durability. The massive upper frame, car-body (lower frame), and track roller frames are designed for strength and long-term durability.
