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.

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.

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.

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.
