Powerscreen has made over 1,000 Warrior machines at its state-of-the-art facility in Hosur, India. The firm established its manufacturing presence in India 15 years ago, contributing to the growth and development of the country’s industrial sector. The 1000th machine, a Warrior 600 (now known as a Titan 600), represents the culmination of years of research, development, and engineering expertise.

It’s a picturesque Sicilian landscape of small roads stretching up and down hills and around tight curves. But when these small roads need big renovations, it takes a large machine to do it fast and efficiently. This is why a contractor chose the W 210 Fi large milling machine which can mill up the entire roadway in two-to-three passes.

With the launch of the PW168-11 and PW198-11, Komatsu reports it has rounded up the operating weights of its wheeled excavator range to 20 tonnes.

Komatsu says that the new machines - at 16 and 20 tonnes - are compact and easy to transport yet powerful and versatile.

There is no need for a special low-bed trailer. With a low transportation height of just 3.1m, they can be transported on standard low-bed trailers with a loading height of up to 4m. The short rear overhang of 1.85m (PW168-11) or 1.9m (PW198-11) is ideal for narrow construction sites.

Ammann is offering an innovation in the shape of its ARW 65-S walk-behind Roller, which features articulated steering. This make allows the user to guide the machine more accurately forward, backward, and laterally.

The new S version has a pivoting mechanism , unlike the prior version which only enables forward and reverse movements. With the S version, the machine can also be moved to the right and left using the control handle.

Fayat subsidiary SAE is offering a novel cold mix system that is said to offer extra versatility for asphalt plants. The system is said to be adaptable for any plant installation, as long as there is sufficient room.

A spokesperson for the firm said, “It can be implemented on any asphalt plant from any manufacturer and that has any software.” The unit can allow a conventional asphalt plant to produce a quality cold mix, but at a much lower cost than a dedicated cold mix plant. The spokesperson said, “It’s a very compact design and fits inside a standard shipping container.”

Marini’s efficient EvoDryer system is said to offer high efficiency and high quality for asphalt batching applications. The drum is now longer and the burner has been redesigned to ensure performance is maximised.

A key feature of the reconfigured design is with the reduction of blue smoke from the pugmill and discharge areas. This is now collected and filtered to minimise emissions.

Hexagon’s acquisition of UK firm Xwatch Safety Solutions is a strategic move that expands its portfolio. Xwatch has been a pioneer in the field of construction machine safety systems with its XW series, which has features such as height control, slew control, and rated capacity indication (RCI).

A novel system from Trimble offers the basic capabilities for both surveying and machine control. This is a solution aimed at use on compact machines weighing no more than 15tonnes.

The firm says that the new system is designed to be used by smaller firms looking to start using machine control technology, but without wanting to invest in costly and sophisticated packages.

The multitool approach allows smaller contractors both basic surveying and machine control capabilities in a simple package that is said to be easy to use.

Increased performance is claimed for Kobelco’s SK520LC-11E excavator, which is now being offered in two variants.

The standard model is the SK520LC-11E model, however there is also the new SK520LC-11E Mass Excavation variant, for specific application needs. Both models weigh from 52.9-57.2tonnes, depending on specification and have power from a six-cylinder Isuzu diesel rated at 348kW that meets Tier 4 Final/Stage V emissions requirements.
