Dynapac's remote control paver option

Small, yet powerful, the Dynapac F1250CS suits use where high-quality paving is required with widths of 0.5-3.5m. The remote unit allows users to position themselves where they want.

The F1250CS has a high-end screed available with gas and electric heating. The V2400 has the same quality and performance as its larger stablemates and has an extension box for greater widths. As an added benefit, the Dynapac F1250CS can pave below zero, thus increasing refurbishment job efficiency, since the paver can drive out of the milling cut, allowing the screed to pave a smooth finish.

Multiple adjustments such as for angle of attack and the deep bottom plates allow high pre-compaction and a smooth surface, even with thick layers. The quick coupling means setup and operation are easy to use.

The RC360 remote unit allows operators to control the paver from a point that offers the lowest asphalt fumes while providing maximum visibility and results. The remote comes with a case and charging devices with a mechanical connector for external supply.

Ensuring safety during remote operations is important so when the operator is more than 10m from the paver, it stops automatically. The paver also stops automatically when the remote is tilted higher than a 45° angle.

The F1250C comes with a 54kW Deutz engine in either Tier 3/Stage III or Tier 4/Stage V versions to local emissions requirements.

Liebherr is offering a revised ADT

Empty vehicle weight is 24.6tonnes while load capacity is 28tonnes. Power comes from a six cylinder, Liebherr diesel, which features exhaust gas aftertreatment to meet the Stage V emissions requirements. The 12litre diesel delivers 265kW and is said to be responsive and economical on fuel, allowing a top speed of 57km/h. The 18.1m3 capacity dump body is made from hard wearing steel for long life, with a profile that allows efficient dumping. Maintenance of the truck is said to be eased due to grouped service points.

Aimed at use in the earthmoving and extraction sectors, the truck is rugged and durable according to Liebherr. A specially modified version is also available for use in tunnelling projects. The design has been proven in use and won a Red Dot design award.

Big on power, Caterpillar’s 980 loader

The 980 XE, which like all Caterpillar machines is being shown by the company’s Germany-based dealer Zeppelin, meets emission standards without interrupting operation.

It features a continuously variable transmission delivering increased fuel efficiencies up to 35% compared to the M series model. It also has expanded technology platform to increase machine performance.

Meanwhile, for the operator, comfort is paramount. The seat-mounted electro-hydraulic joystick steering system provides precision control and dramatically reduces arm fatigue, resulting in excellent comfort and accuracy. The next generation of ride control works as a shock absorber, improving ride quality over rough terrain.

Outside the cab, inclined steps and convenient grab handles ease accessibility. Extended windows enhance visibility, while convex and spot mirrors extend the driver’s view on the sides and rear.

Reduced-temperature asphalt

Asphalt plant maker Benninghoven is preparing itself for a future trend, with an industry moving towards the greater use of reduced-temperature asphalt. This type of mix offers a substantial energy reduction, lowering costs.

Sophisticated tooth loss detection system

Signals emitted by the GET sensors are transmitted via antennas and processed by an electronic control unit. A tablet in the machine cabin displays the GET’s live status and alerts the operator in the event of a detachment by visual and acoustic warnings.

The system is the product of a five-year development programme and MTG says that it will help reduce damage to crushers and minimise downtime, delivering major cost savings for operators. Because the system is simple, there is no need for additional training to use it.

Being able to stop the excavator quickly when a tool detaches addresses the risk from these hard components ending up in the crusher, which would otherwise cause extensive and costly damage as well as halting processing operations.

MTG says that the system is available for use on excavators weighing 250tonnes or more in Australia, Europe or the US, but will be available in more markets in due course.

New formwork range from Paschal

For almost three years, Paschal’s LOGO.pro wall formwork with one-sided anchor technology has been significantly optimising time and cost expenditures on the construction site.

LOGO.pro has now been expanded to include the new panel height of 340cm allowing it to shutter even larger wall heights. All this without the additional extension of segments or needing only two panels to reach a height of up to 6.80m, for example.

Due to the large dimensions, there are fewer panel elements per wall surface and therefore also fewer accessories – and in particular connecting parts – to be mounted. This significantly reduces not only shuttering times, but the cost of materials used.

In addition to the new large-size panel 240cm x 340cm, the LOGO.pro formwork panels are available in panel centimeter widths of 135, 90, 75, 60, 45 and 30, as well as matching inside and outside corner posts.

At the heart of the LOGO.pro formwork system are exchangeable sleeves made of steel. The guide bushings built into the formwork are equipped with a conical access opening in the appropriate diameter for DW15 and DW20 tie rods. This means that the classic type of two-sided anchoring is possible.

To change over to one-sided anchoring, the guide bushings on the side of the adjustable formwork are merely replaced with clamping units.

Both anchor variants use standard material and cladding tubes can be selected as required.

Liebherr’s new mixing plant generation

Liebherr is introducing a new mixing plant generation, with modular design being a key feature. The new generation plants will be available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from 2023, and will then be made available for world markets.

PERI optimises its flexible Variokit VGK

Especially with pier heads or complex geometries, VGK can be used as lightweight work platforms for walls that slope forwards and backwards. The platforms are available in three widths for a wide range of requirements. The VARIOKIT standard components available for rent make the system particularly economical.

For short bridge superstructures up to 200m long, the VGK Cantilevered Parapet Bracket is a safe, rational and efficient solution in new construction and refurbishment projects. Lightweight, hand-mounted system components facilitate easy operation and efficient working. The construction with separate platform and formwork unit features penetration-free decking and provides the best possible protection for the on-going flow of traffic below.

The VGK is anchored to the underside of the bridge. As a result, it does not disturb work operations on the upper side of the superstructure at any time.

There is high level of protection for the on-going flow of traffic below due to the penetration-free surface. Setting up is efficient thanks to simple, manual assembly and continuous adjustment together with a separate formwork unit.

Doka climbs high with UniKit system

Whether for bridges, tunnels, power plant or high-rise buildings, on the basis of modular standard components, cost-effective complete shoring solutions can be developed for every application. Together with Doka’s formwork solutions, infrastructure and high-rise projects can be completed efficiently, safely and without interfaces, all from a single source.

Doka is also taking scaffolding to new heights by debuting the DIBt-certified scaffold Ringlock under the AT-PAC brand. The strategic partnership with AT-PAC, a market leader in industrial scaffolding, has been in place since 2020 giving Doka a strong global presence which is expanding.

Recognising the growing importance of sustainability, Doka has calculated the “product carbon footprint” of most of its 6,000 products as a way of steering towards net-zero carbon emissions. Doka is also detailing the carbon footprint of a large proportion of the bauma exhibits and products on display. In addition, visitors will learn more about the Umdasch Group's initiatives at its own sustainability counter on the Doka stand.

The focus is Doka’s UniKit system
