Cummins Emissions Solutions, the engine manufacturer’s specialist after-treatment division, has developed a single-unit DPF-SCR module concept that is 60% smaller and 40% lighter than its current two-box solution. The EcoFit single module has been designed to work with Cummins’ Stage V engines when they arrive in 2019. “We could achieve Stage V with our current DPF-SCR system, however Stage V is an opportunity to take this technology further,” said Richard Payne, Cummins’ off-highway regulatory affairs dire

German chain link manufacturer Erlau is showing its range of tyre protection and traction products for mining, quarrying and other demanding applications. Erlau provides wear link and traction chain options for all sizes of wheels, including for the largest loaders. Its ring-link system offers a wide range of high-alloy dropped forge links. Its ring-ring system is designed for very abrasive materials, while its ring-locking system is specifically designed for use on hot slag. In addition, three different ch

A flick of a switch is what it takes to gain complete access to the engine compartment of Hyundai’s new HL960 wheel loader which is making its debut at INTERMAT. The 18tonne 960 is the first in the planned HL series, and will include the HL970, HL975 and HL980. Hyundai says the 960’s electrically operated engine cover is a big improvement on the HL 760-9A model. Mechanics on the HL960 do not have to work around several access doors, as on the 760, meaning they have more room for their work and, importantly

Hamm says its new GRW180i compactor broadens its range of rubber-tyred rollers. Power comes from a four cylinder, 3.6litre TD3.6 L4, Deutz engine rated at 55.4kW and which meets the Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions requirements. The machine is available in two versions, the GRW180i-12H and the GRW180i-10, with basic weights of 12 and 10tonnes respectively. The machine design is similar to the more powerful GRW280 rubber-tyred roller, which is powered by a large six cylinder engine and offers a maximum weight

Nordic steel specialist SSAB has launched a portfolio of new high strength steels aimed at sectors where structural strength and weight savings are key factors. The Strenx range is available with yield strengths from 600 Megapascal (Mpa) to 1300 Mpa, in plate, strip and tubular formats in thicknesses from 0.7mm to 160mm. The new top of the range Strenx steel is the first major product release since the acquisition by SSAB of Finnish company Ruuki and the merger of their resources. Strenx incorporates the co

Dressta is geared up for sales growth as it prepares to launch the first of a new series of compact hydro static dozers, says the Polish brand’s vice president. Speaking next to Dressta’s TD-20M and TD-25R crawlers dozers on show at INTERMAT 2015, Howard Dale said dealers in North America are preparing for the launch in the US and Canada of the new TD-9, the first of three new compact hydro static Dressta dozers, featuring new low effort controls for steering, and also variable displacement hydro static due

A new metallic retainer and pin design allows users to benefit from all MTG Systems’ StarMet hammerless features on hot slag applications. Users of MTG wear parts for such applications have until now had access to MTG’s KingMet range of ground engaging tools (GET).

China’s Techking Tires introduced new crane and articulated dump truck tyres to its catalogue of off-road radial products. The ETCRANE range is the result of a seven-year research and development programme and features closed shoulder and multistep groove design to avoid irregular wear and stone ejection on off-road and highway applications. ECE approved size options include 385/95 R25 and 445/95 R25. The tyres are approved by crane manufacturers, such as Terex, Sany and Zoomlion, and are already in service

It’s a world premier here at INTERMAT for Hyundai’s HX220L and HX380L tracked excavators, both of which are Tier 4 Final, Stage IV engine machines. Milan Wamsteker, head of marketing for Hyundai, said the body work has had some restyling to accommodate the larger air intakes needed for Stage IV/Tier 4 Final engine performance. There is also an optional all-around 360° external video and camera system, the HX Series. It includes a warning alert to the driver that an object is near the vehicle as well a

Among Komatsu’s stars at INTERMAT 2015 will be what the Japanese manufacturer says is its still ‘unmatched’ third generation hybrid hydraulic excavator – the HB215LC-2.

A man in the UK has built a replica of a Pagani Zonda supercar, based around components from an old Ford Granada and with the engine from an Audi. Having spent some US$22,500 (£15,000) on the car, he now has to contend with the fact that it is not road legal. How the vehicle would perform on a racetrack has not been revealed, although it seems unlikely to be able to deliver the full 320km/h (200mph) performance of the real thing. From a distance it does indeed resemble the costly car, but on closer inspecti
