Manoeuvring and paving speeds are different in the North American market and VÖGELE’s range reflects this. The company takes global products and adapts them: for example, offering rubber band tracks for higher speeds or larger hoppers for highway work. VÖGELE wants to be the leader in this territory in three years – and believes that with its variety of product options and technology there is no reason why this cannot happen

Wirtgen Group brand Kleemann has developed its Mobicone MC011 Pro cone crusher, with a new design featuring a brand new continuous feed system which regulates material going into the cone itself. The engine has been moved from the top section to the lower, and is replaced by the electrics to allow operators easier access. The machine can be plugged in or run from its own power source

The 2404 is a four-track system, offering operators the chance to go to 7.5m wide along with a wraparound platform which gives wonderful visibility – and gets Power Pavers into the DBI market. Meanwhile the 7700 is a multi-purpose machine which allows customers to pave up to 6m wide and has been well-received by customers

Operators said they wanted changes, and LeeBoy was listening. The manufacturer has redesigned two pavers to produce a more ergonomic control panel and enhanced hydraulic systems to produce more value and ROI – with lower cost per tonne and increased resale value, the firm insists

The Belgium-based manufacturer of mobile aggregate equipment has come up with a crushing and screening product which can be driven by a diesel engine, a gen set or the mains. It will process 200 tonnes an hour in a gravel plant and is easy to set up and transport. A three-deck screen gives the operator three end products on the ground

Here's the latest from CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017: Keestrack is offering lots of options with a crushing and screening product driven by diesel engine, gen set or mains. Meanwhile LeeBoy has listened to operators and redesigned two pavers, Ammann is using the show to demonstrate that there is much more to its product range than asphalt plants and Kleeman has a brand new continuous feed system for its cone crusher.

VSS Macropaver has introduced its state of the art asphalt emulsion plant EP100: using a mixture of mechanical energy and chemistry it produces the asphalt emulsion used by slurry and micropaving machines on the road and takes a lot of the load off the operator

The group has two North American debuts – the SP64 paver and W120 CFi milling machine – at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. The SP64 is a multi-application machine which will break down from kerb and gutter all the way up to 25 feet, which Wirtgen Group says is unique. The 4-foot milling machine is fully integrated with Wirtgen’s control systems

The Swedish manufacturer has produced two new machines which are specifically aimed at the US – combining existing products with new technology to show, above all, that it is listening to the market. In particular, the QS331’s hanging screen means operators can do rail ballast in one pass

The company is concentrating on the space where infrastructure and technology meet - and is saying to operators that, whatever the machine, Topcon has a positioning solution to make it more productive - while enabling the site to be fully documented throughout a construction project

Caterpillar is keeping ahead of technological developments by ensuring that its new milling units have intuitive controls and are easy for operators to use. The manufacturer also shows off its largest machine, the PM825, with a 2.5m cutting head and 755hp engine - a real high-performance product.

Wirtgen Group is cementing its position with two new products....a paver and a milling machine, while innovative and integrated solutions are central to Topcon’s offering – which ranges from resurfacing to excavation. Elsewhere on Day 3 at CONEXPO-CON/AGG, automation is key to Caterpillar’s new range of milling machines and Swedish manufacturer Sandvik has been listening to its customers, launching its first wheeled products into the North American market

The manufacturer’s Android platform for excavators and dozers automates the boom and bucket, offering a 30% boost to productivity while reducing operator fatigue.
