The tilting telescopic pop-up steering column has also been repositioned to create additional space. An air conditioning system has been installed that regulates the temperature inside the cab, and an optional flter is available for industrial waste job sites. Sound insulation reduces noise levels from the local environment. While the ZW250-5 wheeled loader complies with EU regulations on emission standards, HCME said it does not compromise on productivity. It has an 181kW 7.8litre six-cylinder water-cooled turbo engine, and what HCME describes as impressive travel speeds and excellent fuel consumption.The new 20.25-20.7tonne operating weight wheeled loader is also said to be easier to manoeuvre than the previous model. This is also said to result in higher levels of productivity. The ZW250-5 has two simple work modes that provide an appropriate level of performance for a particular task. In Standard mode, the engine speed is controlled, which allows for smooth and effcient acceleration during loading, regular operations and travelling on level terrain. Fuel consumption is claimed to be reduced by up to 10%, enhancing its environmentally friendly performance. A new clutch cut-off system allows for smooth operation when it is loading. Furthermore, the ZW250-5 has a quick power switch, an example of its advanced technology, which boosts the power when required by changing work modes. To enhance safety on the job site the ZW250-5, which has a 2.8-3.8m bucket capacity and 157kN breakout force, offers greater visibility from the operators seat than previous models thanks to a pillar-less windshield and large sun visor.The counterweight is also now visible from both sides of the machine. The shift-up delay to third gear makes the wheeled loader safer to operate in confned spaces, because it can perform excavating and unloading tasks more safely in frst and second gear.www.hcme.euStand No F5.515/516Liebherr updates crawler excavatorLiebherr is launching a re-vised r922 crawler excavator, replacing the previous r906 and joining the r918 and r926 in the companys me-dium weight line-up. Powered by a Stage iiiB Liebherr diesel engine, developing 105kW (143hp), the r922 weighs in at 22tonnes and is designed as a general purpose civils machine. Using a Dual circuit Positive control hydraulic system, the excavator is said to consume less energy than previous models, resulting in fuel savings for the customer. the machine on show will be exhibited with a 2.7m dipper arm and Lc undercarriage. however even with 600mm track pads the r922 does not exceed the 3.0m overall width for road transport in Europe. www.liebherr.comStand No F8.810/811Bells new E-series ADTsBell Equipment is now adding the new B25E and B30E ADTs to its range, seen frst in prototype form at the Intermat show in Paris in 2012. Marc Schrmann, managing director of Bell Equipment Europe, said, There are several improvements over the D series. The A frame design from the larger trucks is now being used in the smaller trucks. There is more suspension travel and this gives more comfort and allows higher travel speeds.He added that the increased travel speed is of particular beneft when the trucks are empty and are returning to the loading point, as it means they can be driven faster and reduce overall cycle times, with a beneft to productivity. The load capacity has been increased slightly for both machines, with the B25E able to carry 24tonnes in its 15m3 dump body and the B30E able to carry 28tonnes in its 17.5m3 dump body.The Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB compliant Mercedes diesels are rated at 210kW for the B25E and 240kW for the B30E and feature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to help reduce emissions, and which also helps lower fuel consumption. The transmissions for the B25E and B30E have been changed to Allison systems, as used in the larger trucks from the frm. Schrmann said, We wanted to go to a common family across the range.Other improvements include more up to date cab isolation, further improving operator comfort, and a larger screen display. www.bellequipment.comStand No B4.108Bells new E series ADTs offered increased capacityHCME says its new ZW250-5 wheeled loader is the result of customer feedbackbauma 2013 PREVIEW PUBLICATION www.PreviewNews-Online.com/bauma-2013 9Earthmoving & ExcavationHamm continues to develop its sophisticated soil compactor range with the addition of models aimed at the 11-16tonne weight classes. These are powered by Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB compliant diesels and share the same design concept as well as features and many components with the existing 18-15tonne rollers. The high compaction performance and unobstructed sight lines from the cab of the larger machines have also been carried over into the smaller units. The H11i, H13i and H16i compactors have 2.14m wide drums, compete in the 11tonne, 13tonne, and 16tonne classes respectively and are all powered by four cylinder Deutz diesels rated at 105kW, with suffcient cooling allowing operation in ambient temperatures as high as 50C. The sophisticated combustion technology includes an after-treatment system with DPF flter to reduce particulate matter. High manoeuvrability is claimed as well as good stability on uneven or sloping terrain, while the machines are available with smooth drum and padfoot segments, or padfoot drum. The 13tonne machine is also available with a VIO drum, capable of compacting with either vibration or oscillation. Standard equipment includes the Hammtronic machine management system, which optimises traction and vibration drive while reducing fuel consumption. A new feature is the optional telematics interface. This can transfer data for feet management purposes and can also be used for remote diagnostics or as an anti-theft protection. Customers can also opt for the HCQ Navigator, which is available as a factory-ftted option. This system enables precise and even compaction as well as comprehensive compaction control. A new HCQ function also enables simple data export in conformity with American analysis software.As with the large compactors of the H series, all service points and batteries are also located on one side of the smaller models. The innovative air flter is said to be simple to clean and replace. www.hamm.euStand No F10.1011/1012 Hamm broadens compactor rangeLiuGong is following up its introduction of its first E series excavator, the 922E, with a whole new range. The top-of-the-line model is the its 945E, which competes in the 45tonne class, features a 2.2m3 bucket and is powered by a Cummins diesel delivering 298kW. Also due are the 30tonne class 930E and 25tonne class 925E, which share similar features. The E-Series excavators are offered with the LiuGong Intelligent Power Control System (IPC), which provides more accurate matching and control over engine speed and main pump flow. This is said to deliver more efficient power delivery, fast and smooth response and lower fuel consumption. A new high visibility cab is common to the range and this is also said to offer greater room for the operator than on previous models.www.liugong.comStand No F4.417 LiuGongs new excavatorsNew mid-size Doosan loadersHigh performance and productivity are claimed for the new generation DL200-3 and DL250-3 wheeled loaders from Doosan Infracore.Powerful engines and a number of new features help reduce fuel consumption while these machines are also said to be easier to service and offer extended durability.The new cab design provides better visibility and more leg room, while it has a new instrument panel with an integrated VCU (vehicle control unit). The DL200-3 and DL250-3 are both powered by the Doosan DL06K, a common rail, six cylinder diesel that meets Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim emissions regulations. This has been achieved through the use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and diesel particulate flter (DPF) after-treatment technologies. The operator has a choice of three workingmodes - Eco, Normal and Power. The operator can travel in Normal mode and switch to Power mode when it is needed and can also set a password for machine start. Load-sensing, variable hydraulic piston pumps help optimise performance and further reduce fuel consumption. As an option, customers can choose ZF axles with a hydraulic differential lock. This function is engaged via the operator pedal or in automatic mode, depending on the torque resistance in frst and second gear. The hydraulic lock system offers less rolling resistance than the limited slip system.www.doosanequipment.euStand No F6.612/3High productivity is claimed for Doosans latest mid-size loadersImproved performance is claimed for Hamms sophisticated new soil compactors10 bauma 2013 PREVIEW PUBLICATION www.PreviewNews-Online.com/bauma-2013Hidromeks long-reach excavatorEarthmoving & ExcavationHidromeks long-reach excavator suits earthmoving and drainage worka new version of hidromeks well accepted hmK220Lc excavator is being offered with a long-reach boom for use in special earthmoving and drainage applications. called the hmK200Lc Lr, this machine is designed for fne grading at long reach, as well as for duties such as ditching and drainage clearance. as with the standard machines, tier 4 interim/Stage iiiB emission certi-fed engine and hydraulics components are used. according to export manager anil Bingl, this machine widens hidromeks standard excavator offering and is one of several specially adapted excavators now available from the frm. inc ommon with the standard hidromek machines, it is equipped with hidromeks sophis-ticated, satellite-based telematics system, which can deliver a continuous fow of data on the machines working performance. this information can be tracked remotely and in real time for analysis of operat-ing parameters. the system also offers gPS location and geofencing, can be used to identify any technical prob-lems and rectify these using remote trouble-shooting. www.hidromek.comStand No B5.106Komatsus latest loaderKomatsu is introducing it Dash 7 generation of wheeled loaders with a range of models including the WA320-7 and WA380-7.

It has vibratory drums as wide as 1,600mm, and is en-gineered primarily for asphalt compaction on streets and pavements in urban areas. It is also suitable for compact-ing sub-bases and base courses, and can adequately follow a compact paver.www.dynapac.comStand No F11.1108 From Vgele comes a new range of pavers in the shape of its latest generation machines, which are said to offer higher performance productivity and fnish quality, along with lower emissions and running costs. The new machines being offered are the 1900-3, 1300-3 and 1100-3 tracked pavers, as well as the 1303-3 and 1103-3 wheeled pavers and these come in addition to the existing 2100-3, with the 1600-3 and 1800-3 also due shortly. The EcoPlus system is an emissions-reducing package that benefts from the latest engine technology and exhaust after-treatment. Customers can opt for the Tier 3/Stage IIIA- compliant dash 3 machines or the dash 3i pavers that meet the latest U.S., European and Japanese standards, which allows the frm to offer the latest paving technology both in developed western markets and in developing nations.A number of features help reduce fuel consumption. When the paver is idling, its hydraulic pumps for traction, conveyors and augers, as well as the screed compaction systems, will automatically disengage after one minute. Reducing drag also makes it easier to start the paver at low outside temperatures. The tamper is driven by a variable displacement pump which delivers the correct amount of oil needed for the current tamper speed, improving effciency. The variable-speed fan is driven by a viscous coupling that adjusts in line with engine load and ambient temperature, as well as the temperature of the oil and cooling water, further improving effciency and also cutting noise. A bypass circuit allows the hydraulic oil to reach optimum operating temperature quickly, reducing fuel consumption; if the oil temperature rises above the optimum level of 5070C, a bypass diverts the oil through the cooler assembly. The improved fuel effciency is an important point that will lower running costs. According to marketing director Roland Schug, The machines offer fuel consumption savings of up to 25%, which can save 7,000-12,000 on fuel/year for the average customer.The machines are equipped with the novel PaveDock Assistant system, frst seen on the 2100-3 paver introduced in 2012. This allows communication between the paver operator and the driver of the feed vehicle and ensures that the mix is supplied to the paver safely and without jolts. Signal lights on the paver and the associated controls on the paver operator's ErgoPlus 3 console are key components of the PaveDock communication system. The paver has two highly visible signal lights mounted on the right and left of the hardtop that can tell the feed machine operator whether it is necessary to reverse or stop, for example. In addition, Vgele also fts the innovative PaveDock push-rollers as an option, a robust system that absorbs impacts when the feed vehicle docks onto the paver. A sensor installed in the sprung push-rollers sends a signal to the PaveDock Assistant whenever a feed vehicle has docked onto the paver, while the signal lights automatically display a stop symbol and the driver of the feed vehicle can react.The novel ErgoPlus operating system has been further improved with additional features for the new dash 3 generation. The redesigned four-colour display has a high-contrast user interface for readability in poor lighting conditions, with self-explanatory symbols understood in all languages. In addition, the driver's seat and the paver operator's console on the operator platform, as well as the screed consoles, can be adjusted as required. www.voegele.infoStand No F10.1011/1012Paving innovations from VgeleThe new SWIFT pothole patching machine from the Fayat Group is said to deliver fast road repairs that are long-lasting and durable.

These machines are the SP81 and SP81i, the SP82 and SP82i and Sp84 and SP84i and are designed to be designed to suit a wide range of applications, offering high-precision paving and ease of use. The SP81 and SP81i are designed for offset paving tasks and can be used for jobs such as barrier wall installation, with customers able to select these machines featuring either three or four tracks, depending on job requirements. The SP81 is the base unit while the SP81i comes with sophisticated paving controls. Both models can be used for slipforming work such as kerbs, narrow paths or barriers up to 2.3m high and 3m wide as standard. The offset mold can be mounted on either side, allowing the machine to be adapted to site conditions and for optimum results, even in cramped spaces. Both models have a fexible trimmer said to ensure precision on uneven ground. The spiral-shaped trimmer drum, which is ftted with cutters, mills away uneven areas, permitting uniform paving of the profle. The SP82 and SP82i are the standard and intelligent versions respectively of the two-track paver, while the SP84 is a four-track machine and is also offered in the SP84i variant; all four models are designed for inset paving applications.

The new WR200 and WR250 models share features with the WR240 and are said to set new standards in cold recycling and soil stabilisation. The versatile WR240 suits heavy-duty stabilisation of large areas of non-cohesive soil, and for the cold recycling of damaged asphalt layers. This model brought new features to market and despite achieving higher productivity than its predecessor, tests in the feld also show it to be more fuel effcient, due largely to its sophisticated engine management system. The machine has also been noted for its large high visibility cab and improved manoeuvrability, with these features all now being carried over into the compact WR200 and top-of-the-range WR250. The WR200 is the smallest of the range and is even more manoeuvrable than the WR240, suiting duties on small sites, while it offers increased mobility as it requires no special transport permits. In contrast the powerful WR250 is a heavy-duty machine designed for stabilising heavy, swampy soils. In recycling and pulverisation jobs the WR250 can be used to turn roadways up to 250mm thick into homogenous granulate. An important new feature is the ability to control milling drum speed from the cab for different applications, while the milling drum is designed to suit the machines high output. This combination of new drum and adjustable speed is said to allow the WR250 to provide high mix quality at a high feed rate.www.wirtgen.comStand No F10.1010 & F11.1110/1Wirtgen is now introducing a complete new range of stabilisersAmmanns improved compact fnisherWhat Ammann describes as its most compact fnisher, the 3.5tonne AFT 270 being showcased at bauma has been equipped with a new gas or electric-powered ram-ming and vibrating screed, said to ensure top quality fnishing.With an operating weight of 5.2tonnes, the AFT 270 has fnishing widths of 140 to 330cm and two operating concepts: standing operation on a pedestal and an operat-ing platform with a sliding/rotating seat and operating console.Ammann says the AFT270, like all its fnishers, comes with complete functionality, including reversible track fnisher, hydraulically height-adjustable and reversible ma-terial screws and a hydrauli-cally extendable screed.www.ammann-group.comStand No F11.1109 Fayat is aiming its new multi-function spraying machine at contractors looking to reduce costs and increase effciency.
