MACHINE CONTROL
EXCAVATOR
The industry’s first automatic steering control solution for soil compactors is how the developers of Trimble Earthwork’s Horizontal Steering Control is describing the technology. The system automatically steers a soil compactor using a 3D model or compaction pass line, helping operators achieve higher quality surfaces and consistent compaction.

Strong digging forces and swing torque are promised with the Cat 336 excavator, available from Finning UK & Ireland. Power mode delivers maximum power to meet the most demanding tasks and Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions to lower fuel consumption. Byr educing engine speed to a constant 1,500 rpm, Eco mode minimises fuel usage in operation.

WHEELED EXCAVATOR The 10.7 tonne Doosan DX100W-7 wheeled excavator is designed primarily for urban and road maintenance jobs. End users can enjoy agility in confined spaces, a high level of safety specification and the stability in lifting work that an integral 1.35 tonne counterweight affords. In addition, the articulated boom ensures positioning as close as possible to trucks during loading. GO TO WWW.RDR.LINK/CAB043
13-15 TONNE EXCAVATORS There are three new EU Stage V compliant A-Series crawler excavators in the Hyundai Construction Equipment 13-15 tonne range. Powered by the latest Cummins diesel engines, the reduced tailswing HX130A LCR, conventional HX140A L and the reduced swing HX145A LCR feature improved hydraulic control, more power, torque and increased cabin space.
