Meeting EU stage V emissions requirements has resulted in Cummins’s development of a compact single module exhaust after-treatment package. Said to be 50% smaller and 30% lighter than those used for EU stage IV systems, the single canister design has been made possible from the use of advanced catalyst technologies that deliver improved particulate matter and NOx reduction capabilities. In addition, the DPF’s passive regeneration minimise the need for preventative cleaning and maintenance, said Cummins.

Iveco is now offering a mixer truck that features extremely low tailpipe emissions, for use in urban areas with strict environmental legislation. Highly innovative, this new machine also features a hybrid mixer system supplied by Cifa. Fuelled by natural gas, the truck runs on a four-axle chassis, with the methane carried in a high pressure cylinder at 200bars, while the low emission engine delivers 240kW. The mixer drum has a capacity of 8m3 of concrete while the drive is electric. The novel hybrid system

Cummins has announced that its latest B6.7 and L9 engines are fully EU Stage V emissions certified and in full production at its Darlington engine plant in the UK. “The latest emissions compliant specification has resulted in higher power and torque in a smaller, lighter overall package that has become cheaper to run,” said Eric Neal, executive director of Cummins off-highway business. And, he added, “Cummins’ ability to tailor engine power and torque curves and make full use of our in-house equipment such

Manitowoc is celebrating 90 years of Potain tower cranes with its first visit to Intermat since 2009. And it has brought three of its newest tower cranes along: the Hup 32-27, a Hup 40-30 self-erecting crane and the MDT 389, which is the largest topless crane to feature Manitou’s Crane Control System (CCS). Manitowoc shed its food equipment arm, Manitowoc Foodservice, in March 2016 and the last two years have been ‘challenging’, according to executive vice president Aaron Ravenscroft. “It’s a difficult bu

Manitowoc is showcasing two new products on its stand at Intermat: a lift for tower crane operators, the Potain Cab-In, and its 75 High Performance Lifting (HPL) winch for tower cranes. Manitowoc has developed the Potain Cab-In to meet changing regulations in France that say a lift must be used on tower cranes for heights of more than 50m from January 2019. Other countries are likely to follow suit, says Jerome Chanel, vice president of services for Manitowoc. Manitowoc says that its lift is a first b

Deutz is to extend its lower powered engine line-up with an all-new three-cylinder unit based on the four-cylinder TCD2.9. Called the TCD2.2, this smaller engine will be rated from 22-56kW and will be available as a diesel-fuelled or LPG fuelled power unit, the latter badged G2.2. In addition, the larger TCD2.9 will also be available as an LPG engine and badged as the G2.9.

French start-up ShareMat has launched ShareMat Rent – a system to enable equipment owners to rent their machines when not in use. The system comprises a small location and operation detection and transmitting device and a software platform to manage the rental arrangements. ShareMat already offers ShareMat Fleet – a fleet management system that employs its device. More than 10 customers are currently using the system to manage around 300 pieces of equipment. It costs €200 for a device and to set it up on

A new series of inline engines has been introduced from Deutz. Badged TCD9, TCD12, TCD13.5 and TCD18, the power unit nomenclature matches that of engine displacement in litres. For the new flagship 18litre TCD18, it means peak power sits at 620kW and is supported with 3600Nm of torque, and it sits above the firm’s TCD16 V8 engine. The all-new TCD9 however, has thrown out the rule book when it comes to cylinder count. Where previously this size engine would have been a six-cylinder, the new TCD9 is a four

FPT Industrial has returned to the drawing board to create a replacement engine for its 3.4litre F34. The resulting F36 packs a 3.6litre capacity as a result of a longer stroke crankshaft, suiting compact machines that require a greater power output. Power and torque are increased over the previous engine said FPT Industrial, but importantly, the new F36 engine’s external dimensions and physical size remains unchanged. Adopting a new design of piston and a revised turbocharger, the longer stroke engine

FPT Industrial has introduced the N67 power pack solution for mobile and stationary applications. It uses the company’s Hi-eSCR2 advanced after-treatment package, with all key after-treatment components housed in a single package and installed on top of the engine. The package includes a DOC, SCR-on-Filter assembly, DEF injection system, all required sensors and manifolds. FPT Industrial said the advanced nature of its SCR-on-Filter system, with its improved catalyst technologies, eliminates the need to in

A pan-European research project is investigating the use of electro-fragmentation to help recycle fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC). Increasingly used in civil applications such as tunnels and bridge decks, FRC can be challenging to recycle because of the difficulty in separating the tiny fibres from the concrete material. “Most of the research into FRC is about the formulation or the application of the material,” Kathy Bru, a process engineer at research organisation BRGM told a forum at the World of Concre

Terex Finlay’s 883+ triple shaft heavy duty screen is due to go into full production in September 2018. The latest addition to the Northern Ireland-headquartered manufacturer’s 8-Series line up, the 883+ triple shaft model is said to be ideal for a variety of dry and difficult sticky applications including quarry, mining, sand and gravel, construction and demolition debris and recycling applications. The heart of the 883+ triple shaft is the new triple shaft screenbox, featuring two full size 16’ x 5’ sc

The BICES show is moving. BICES 2019, the 15th China Beijing International construction, building and mining machinery exhibition and seminar will take place at a new venue ... The China New International Exhibition Center. The new facility offers 200,000m2 of exhibition and meeting room space. BICES 2017 had 1,051 exhibitors and nearly 125,000 visitors and BICES 2019 will see an increase in these numbers, says the China Construction Machinery Association (CCMA), one of the main organisers of the event.
