PUMPS

When a pump is needed on a

construction site, generally speaking it is
really needed. And while there may not
have been many major changes in the
pump world, that doesnt mean there
is a lack of innovation when it comes to
how the different models operate. Sandy

Cat and JCB face job losses

Weakened revenues and rapid deterioration in the global
construction industry hit construction equipment firms
ore than 20 of Caterpillars facilities and over

10% of its manufacturing area could be
affected by consolidations and closures as
a result of the companys weakened sales and revenues
outlook.
Meanwhile, a rapid deterioration in world construction
equipment markets is being blamed for up to 400
proposed redundancies at UK-based manufacturer JCB.
Caterpillar said there would be an expected permanent
reduction in its salaried and management workforce
including agency of 4,000 to 5,000 people between
now and the end of 2016, with most coming this year.
A total possible workforce reduction of more than
10,000 people is being predicted.
Caterpillar has announced significant restructuring
and cost reduction actions that it said were expected
to lower operating costs by about $1.5 billion (1.35
billion) per year once fully implemented.
It said the cost reduction steps would begin in late
2015 and would reflect recent, current and expected
market conditions. For 2015, its sales and revenues are
now expected to be about $48 billion (43.09 billion),
or $1 billion (897.8 million) lower than the previous
outlook of about $49 billion (44 billion). For 2016, Cat
said that sales and revenues were expected to be about
5% below 2015.
Chairman and CEO Doug Oberhelman said, We
are facing a convergence of challenging marketplace
conditions in key regions and industry sectors namely
in mining and energy.
While weve already made substantial adjustments as
these market conditions have emerged, we are taking
even more decisive actions now. We dont make these

Saint-Gobains Sika bid moves forward

Saint-Gobain has said that
the Swiss Competition
Commission (COMCO)
has unconditionally
authorised its
proposed acquisition
of a controlling stake in
construction chemicals
maker Sika.
The proposed deal
would see the French
materials producer
acquire the stake in Sika

owned by the BurkardSchenker through its
investment company
Schenker-Winkler Holding
(SWH).
SWH has historically
held 16.1% of Sikas
capital, but 52.4% of the
companys voting rights
due to its long-standing
position as an anchor
shareholder. Saint-Gobain
has offered to buy this
stake for CHF2.75 billion
(2.52 billion).
The deal has met
with resistance from
other shareholders and
independent Sika board
members, including
chairman Paul Hlg, who
argued that the deal
amounted to an abuse
of SWHs position as the

companys long-standing
controlling owner, and
that any takeover should
see an offer made to all
Sika shareholders.
However, Switzerlands
Federal Administrative
Court ruled in early
September that SaintGobain did not have to
make such an offer.

decisions lightly, but Im confident these additional

steps will better position Caterpillar to deliver solid
results when demand improves.
This year is the companys third consecutive year of
falling sales and revenues, and it said that 2016 would
mark the first time in Caterpillars 90-year history that
sales and revenues had decreased four years in a row.
At UK-based JCB, a consultation process with staff over
the proposed redundancies has started. The company
said that a slowdown in recent weeks had been marked,
particularly in the emerging markets, resulting in a sharp
fall in machine orders.
JCB has briefed employees that up to 400 staff
positions were now at risk in the UK, although it said it
would attempt to minimise the impact by considering
voluntary redundancies.
CEO Graeme Macdonald said, Market conditions in
the construction equipment sector have been difficult
for some time, but they have worsened quite rapidly in
recent weeks.
The situation is not about to improve, certainly not
in the short term, so we now need to take difficult
but decisive actions to align overheads to lower
sales forecasts. Regrettably, this will result in up to
400 staff positions becoming redundant across our UK
businesses.
The company said that in the first six months of the
year, the market in Russia had dropped by 70%, Brazil
by 36% and China by 47%. Parts of Europe were also
struggling, it said, with France down by 26%.
It added that even the strong growth in the UK and
North America had softened as a result of a fall in market
confidence over the summer.

Mecalac and Hitachi in new

manufacturing agreement
French manufacturer Mecalac and Hitachi Construction Machinery Europe (HCME)
have signed a manufacturing agreement which will see Mecalac build compact
articulated wheeled loaders for sale under the Hitachi brand.
The machines will be built at Mecalacs wheeled loader plant in Bdelsdorf,
Germany.
HCMEs president and CEO, Moriaki Kadoya, said, HCME is continuously striving to
offer the most reliable solution to our existing and prospective customers across all
of our European territories.
This will provide Hitachi customers with the best technology in this market sector
in combination with the consistently high level of aftersales support supplied by
HCMEs dealer network.
The agreement covers three loaders with operating weights from 4.9 to 5.4 tonnes,
designated the ZW65-6, ZW75-6 and ZW95-6. These will be sold under the Hitachi
brand in its orange colour through HCMEs authorised dealer network.
Mecalac group president and CEO Henri Marchetta said, For Mecalac, this
co-operation with HCME recognises the technical level of these products, an
emphasis on the environment and operator safety, and the overall quality of our
production capabilities.
The loaders offer a self-stabilising articulated pendulum joint that increases stability,
an overall height of less than 2.5m, and a 100% differential lock in the front and rear
axles that can be engaged on demand. Each model is equipped with a mono-boom,
which is said to provide excellent all-round visibility on busy sites.
CECEs digital manifesto

A five-point manifesto
on the successful digital
transformation of the
construction and the
agricultural machinery
industries was delivered
to EU institutions by the
presidents of CECE (the
Committee for European
Construction Equipment)
and CEMA (the European
Agricultural Machinery
Association), at their joint
political summit.
The EU priority actions
for smart regulation cover
virtual testing and selfpropelled vehicles.
A vote at the summit
showed that 54% of
delegates felt that action
on digital skills to avoid
a skills gap in the future
was an EU-wide problem.
When asked if the EU
should play a stronger

role in encouraging take
up of digital technology,
46% said probably, and
31% said definitely.
The manifesto was
presented to MEPs Dr
Peter Jahr and Dominique
Riquet, who is chairman
of the Intergroup for
Long-term Infrastructure
Investment
He said, As legislators,
whose main objective
is to restore growth,
we need to help the
equipment sector be
more competitive, by
encouraging innovation
and facilitating SMEs
(small and medium-sized
enterprises) access to
finance.
But our action should
also target the sectors
clients and aim at setting

clear and modern yet
stable rules.
Wolfgang Burget,
managing director of
Liebherr EMtec and
chairman of the CECE
high-level technical
policy advisory group,
said, We still experience
too often that different
sets of regulations are
inconsistent or contradict
each other.
He pointed to emissions
legislation where the EU
sets harmonised exhaust
limits for machines, but
local authorities can opt
to introduce additional
measures.
There is more about
the manifesto in CECEs
regular column on
page 19.

Skanska has been chosen for the two largest

projects in the reconstruction of the Slussen area
of central Stockholm, Sweden. Selected by the
City of Stockholm, Skanska will work on contracts
that are worth about SEK1.2 billion (126.12
million) and SEK750 million (78.86 million).
The company said the total amount would be
included in order bookings for Skanska Sweden
for the third quarter of 2015. Construction
work is due to start in the summer of 2016, with
expected completion in 2022.
REVISED FORECAST
Engine maker Deutz
has revised its financial
forecast for the year
downwards. Rather than
the previously expected
10% drop in revenues
in 2015, compared to
2014, the company now
expects sales to be 20%
lower than last year. It
also said its order intake
was very low. Deutz
said it is only likely to
break even in terms of
earnings before interest
and tax (EBIT) terms this
year. It had previously
forecast a +3% EBIT
margin
STRONG FIGURES
UK-based Laing
ORourke has claimed
that a profitable trading
performance was
maintained for its full
year results ending
31 March, 2015, with
strong figures in its
Australian business
offsetting a year of
operational challenges
in the UK construction
market. It said its
managed revenue
decreased 13% to
3.85 billion (5.26
billion) compared to a
2013/14 figure of 4.41
billion (6.03 billion),
which the company
said reflected selective
bidding and adverse
foreign exchange
movements.
CEMENT BID
Buzzi Unicem has made
an offer to acquire
SACCI Groups cement
and ready-mix concrete
businesses in Italy. The
offer price comprises
a fixed component of
74 million plus a profitbased variable amount
of at least 25 million.
SACCI is currently
going through a debt
restructuring process
under Italian law, which
was launched in July.
According to Buzzi
Unicem, SACCI is one of
the major players of the
cement sector in Italy,
operating in the Central

and Northern parts of
the country. Its market
share is put at about
6%.
IMPROVED
EARNINGS
Strabag has reported
that it has significantly
improved its earnings
in the first half of 2015,
with EBITDA (earnings
before interest, taxes,
depreciation and
amortization) rising
by 54%. Thomas Birtel,
CEO, said, In 2015, we
want to bring our EBIT
margin one step closer
to our goal of 3%. And
the first half of the
year shows us that we
are well on our way to
reaching this goal.
REVENUES UP
Preliminary results from
UK-based contractor
Kier show its total
revenues up 14% for the
year ending June 2015,
to 3.4 billion (4.7
billion). The groups
reported operating
profit was 60.9 million
(83.4 million), a 78%
increase on last year.
There was growth in
revenues across all
four of the companys
divisions property,
residential, construction
and services.
EUROPEAN FALL
Haulotte Group sales
stood at 207 million
in the first half of 2015,
compared to 207.2
million in the same
period last year. At a
constant exchange rate,
revenue was down by
8%. The company said
that excluding currency
effects, there were
strong performances in
Asia, up 17% compared
to the previous half year
and North America,
which saw an 8% sales
increase. These figures
offset a different picture
in Europe over the same
period, where there was
a 13% decline in sales.

Turkish company in
reduced bid for
Ballast Nedam
KHL.COM
Price per share falls following a profit

warning from Dutch-based contractor
urkish construction company RC Rnesans Inaat Taahht (Renaissance

Construction) has made an offer for Ballast Nedam, the Dutch-based contractor.
The offer, which has been backed by Ballast Nedams Central Works Council, is a
cash deal which values shares in the Dutch company at 0.30 each. The offer is expected
to be worth 6 million in total.
This represents a reduced bid from an initial offer of 1.55 per share, after a
profit warning from Ballast Nedam. In early September, the Dutch company reported
additional losses of approximately 20 million which it attributed to deteriorating results
in the building and development division.
It also blamed the effects of three recent bankruptcies of suppliers and partners,
including Imtech Building Services.
Renaissance and Ballast Nedam said the offer reflected the long-term growth of both
companies. They said that Ballast Nedam would benefit from a strong shareholder
that was willing to inject capital to increase its solvency and reduce its vulnerability. It
was also said that Ballast Nedam would be less vulnerable to the consequences of cost
overruns on large projects.
It was added that Ballast Nedam would also benefit eventually from international
expansion to higher margin business that the companies said would not be available to
the Dutch contractor as a standalone business. All the necessary clearances for the deal
are said to have been obtained.
Renaissance, which already owns 29% of Ballast Nedam, is an international contractor
operating in general building, heavy industries and power, manufacturing and chemical
plants, transportation and social infrastructure sectors. Operating in 20 countries,
Renaissance Constructions home markets are Russia and Turkey, while it claims
significant operations in Turkmenistan as well as CIS region, the Middle East, Switzerland
and Germany.

building contractors, and
Claudio Tesauro, president
of Save the Children Italy.
The collection was led
by actress Sharon Stone,
who is an ambassador for
the Building Peace Award.
Dario Roustayan, CEO

of the Pilosio Building
Peace Award, presented
this years award to Dr
Hawa Abdi, a Somalian

war.
Roustayan said that
projects such as Re:Build
saw the entrepreneurial
face of construction
increasingly involved in
giving support to local
initiatives for a better and

SCT, there will be 21 major contract packages on
the US$9 billion (8.05 billion) project, which was
unveiled by Mexican president Enrique Pea Nieto
in September last year. It is designed to replace the
existing airport, and is on a site some 10km north in
the Zona Federal del Lago de Texcoco. It will comprise
a single 560,000m2 terminal and six runways two
will be 4.5km long, with the other four at 4km long.
Target completion for the new airport is October

contract for package CC4 of the Temburong Bridge
in Brunei. The overall scheme is a 30km road link
crossing Brunei Bay to connect the Brunei Muara
and Temburong areas. There is currently no land
link between the two regions of Brunei, as they are
separated by part of Malaysia. As well as the distance
involved this round-about route includes four
immigration checkpoints. CSCECs package of work
includes the main 11.8km link, comprised of some
11km of viaducts as well as the main bridge, which
will have a central span of 100m.
BOLIVIA
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has
approved a loan of US$179 million (160.31 million)
to improve the quality, traffic flows, access and
security of the Fundamental Road Network operated
by the Bolivian government. The project seeks to
improve roads that connect production centres
with local and external markets by increasing the
number of paved roads and refurbishing existing
roads. The loan will also help to improve the overall
management of highway resources through a
more efficient collection of tolls, and to develop the
capacity of the Bolivian Highway Administration at
its headquarters as well as in its regional offices, to
improve its project management. According to the
IDB, only 11.7% of Bolivias 89,740km road network
is paved. It said that this gave the country the lowest
road density of all Latin America and Caribbean
countries.
CHINA
Two managers working for elevator and escalator
manufacturer Schindler in China have been taken
in for questioning by police in Shanghai. One of the
individuals is the managing director of Schindler
China. Schindler said it did not know the full details
of the allegations, but said police were investigating
the possibility of embezzlement from the company
by elements of its salesforce, the taking of bribes
and the possible payment of bribes. The company
said, Schindler is working closely together with the
authorities and will provide further information as
soon as proven facts have been established.
AUSTRALIA
Boral wins in union

blockade dispute
Settlement in illegal boycott case with
Australias largest construction trade union
ustralian materials producer Boral has won a settlement up to a maximum

of AU$9 million (5.65 million) against the Construction, Forestry, Mining &
Energy Union (CFMEU), Australias largest construction trade union.
The ruling by the Victorian Supreme Court follows a black ban an illegal boycott
of Boral products by the CFMEU in Melbourne.
In addition to the financial settlement, which comprises AU$4 million (2.51 million)
in damages and up to AU$5 million (3.14 million) for legal expenses, the ruling
includes a series of legally binding controls which Boral said would prohibit [CFMEU]
interference with Borals business for a period of three years.
The CFMEU is obliged to publish a statement saying construction businesses are
free to choose their suppliers, including concrete suppliers, without fear of union
retribution. The non-interference agreement prohibits union members from advising
in any way on the procurement of Boral materials, refusing to work in cases when they
would normally work, or interfering with the supply of materials to construction sites.
Boral CEO Mike Kane said, This agreement is a huge step in the multi-year effort to
re-establish the rule of law on Melbourne construction sites. We will now be protected
against illegal interference in serving our customers.
However, a statement from the CFMEU on the ruling sounded a defiant tone.
This result is a humiliation for Mike Kane. Boral has claimed losses of over
AU$23 million (14.4 million), yet the matter has been settled for $4 million. Mr Kanes
ideological campaign against the union has been damaging Borals reputation for
that entire time.

TURKEY
Bosphorus breakthrough
A joint venture
between Yap Merkezi
and SK Engineering &
Construction (YMSK) has
broken through on the
new 3.34km Bosphorus
road tunnel project in
Istanbul, Turkey.
The bore was
completed using a
13.66m diameter
Mixshield tunnel boring
machine (TBM) from
Herrenknecht in water
pressures up to 11 bar
equivalent to a water
depth of some 110m.
The tunnel forms part
of a new 14.6km highway
which is expected to
cut journey times across
the Bosphorus from the
current 100 minutes by
car ferry to 15 minutes. It
is also expected to relieve
congestion on existing
bridges.
At its deepest, the

tunnel runs 106m
below the water level.
The water is 62m deep
at its greatest, and the
tunnel passes some 40m
below the sea bed level.
The water pressure and
geological conditions
comprising permeable
sediment and highly
fractured, saturated
rock made for difficult
tunnelling conditions.
Gert Wittneben, TBM
construction manager
for YMSK, said, That

meant using a TBM
that could handle hard
and soft ground and at
high pressure. It had to
be a slurry machine, a
Mixshield type.
The TBM from
Herrenknecht has a face
with hard rock discs
cutters, mounted on six
radial arms, scrapers and
buckets and openings
between for the slurry
support and spoil
removal.

Further Chinese
slowdown hits
share prices
Share prices around the world continued to slide in
September as concerns grew over the scale of the
economic slowdown in China and other emerging
economies. Chris Sleight reports
any share price indexes

hit their lowest point
for the last year
in September, as concerns
heightened over the slowdown
in China.
Although GDP growth is still put
at 7% by official sources, outside
economists say it might be only
half of this. That not only has
an impact on the worlds second
biggest economy, but also for
countries and companies around
the world which seek to trade
with China. This leads to a stock
market slump.

saw
double-digit

most of the household names
in the industry CNH Industrial,

and Volvo to name just a few.
Only a handful of companies
in the CEE Index for equipment
manufacturers shares saw an

Korean players, Doosan and
Hyundai, along with Manitou. As
a result the index lost 8.65% of its

However, the footprint is greater

in Europe and North America
two relatively strong construction
markets so the downturn in the
developing world has not had too
big an impact on share prices.
In addition, there has been
some significant mergers and
acquisition activity in the sector
over the last two years to boost
share prices, and a lot of this
value remains in the sector. So
although the CEM has fallen with
other indexes around the world
in the third quarter of the year, it
is now back to about where it was
at the start of 2015, rather than
falling to a multi-year low.
There are similar arguments
at play among Europes largest
contractors, which by and large
are not too heavily exposed to
China or other emerging markets.
Construction activity in Europe is
on the up, with any work outside
the region tending to be wellchosen major projects where
Europeans can bring a technical
competitive edge.
This has seen the CEC Index for
the sector stay fairly well insulated
The weak
Euro remains
a positive for
export-oriented
companies in
the region, vying
for overseas
business
from stock market turbulence

elsewhere in the world. Indeed,
between weeks 34 and 39, while
mainstream markets were falling,
the Index achieved a gain of
2.31%.
But it has by no means been
all good news in the sector. Early
September saw Ballast Nedam
issue another profit warning.
This saw the renegotiation of a
takeover offer by Turkish Group
Renaissance Construction, which
will now pay just 0.30 per share
to acquire the group, as opposed
to the previously agreed 1.55
per share. The new price values
Ballast Nedam at only about 6
million. The deal will also see
Renaissance inject much-needed
capital into Ballast Nedam in
exchange for newly issued shares.
There were a few heavy losses
elsewhere in the sector, with
many of the Spanish construction
groups seeing steep falls in their
share prices. However, there
were some good gains too, with
the likes of Bauer, Eiffage and
Veidekke seeing double-digit
gains. Most significant as far as the
Autumn rebound
Results from the September CE Barometer
survey show activity levels and
sentiment
in
the
European
construction sector bouncing back
after the traditional summer
slowdown. Although the dip in
August was deeper than has
been seen in previous years, the
Barometer is now broadly back to
where it was before the summer
break.
Sentiment on current activity was
positive, with a balance of +10.8%
of respondents saying they were busier
in September than the previous month.
This compared to a balance of -9.5% in Augusts survey. The
balance figure is the percentage of positive responses minus the
percentage of negative responses. A positive figure indicates
growth, a negative one contraction.
The future outlook also bounced back, with a balance of +38.7%
of respondents saying they expected activity levels to be higher in
a years time than now. Meanwhile, a positive balance of +16.1% of
respondents said they were busier now than in September 2015.
This all took the CE Climate an overall measure of sentiment
up to a balance figure of +21.9%, a marked improvement on the
level of +10.8% recorded in August, and more in line with results
from the rest of 2015.

OUTLOOK
With share prices heading
downwards and economic news
painting a worrying picture, it
would be easy for investors to get
caught-up in panic selling and
make a crash out of a downturn.
It remains to be seen where the
markets bottom out, but after
several weeks of steady falls,
some shares are starting to look
pretty cheap.
With China being the major
factor for many at the moment,
the lack of solid, trustworthy
data makes investment decisions
harder to call.

Dispute resolution and

adjudication overview
The question of adjudication in the UK is discussed by Andrew Hibbert,
partner, and Victoria Baron, trainee, at Pinsent Masons
djudication
was
introduced in the UK
back in 1998 by the
Housing Grants, Construction
& Regeneration Act 1996, and
in 2009 was revised by the
Local Democracy Economic
Development & Construction Act
2009.
Early reports tended to
confirm that the construction
industry had adopted the new
dispute resolution method with
considerable enthusiasm from
1998 Adjudicator Nominating
Bodies (ANBs) reported a steady
rise in the number of adjudicator
appointments per year, peaking
at 2,000 per year between 2000
and 2002.
At the same time, the
Technology & Construction Court
(TCC) also reported a significant
decline in parties starting court
actions, from a high of about
1,500 in 1996/7 to 692 actions in
1997/8, and 381 by 2002/3.
Since early 2000, the industry
has gone through turbulent
economic times culminating in
an apparent return to growth
over the last 12 months or so.
But, research suggests that these
changing economic fortunes
have done relatively little to alter
the earlier trend towards the
increasing use of adjudication
to resolve disputes and a
corresponding decline in the
use of other methods of dispute
resolution.
Although never returning
to the highs of the year 2000,
ANBs report that adjudicator
appointments have averaged
1,500 per year over the 11-year

period from 2003 to 2014.
Equally, in terms of cases in the
TCC, the decline has continued
over the last 16 years, during
which time the number of new
actions begun has broadly
reflected 2002/03 levels, with an
average of broadly 450 per year
from 2003 to 2014.
Interestingly, the only slight
change in the overall trend
was at the start of the recent
economic recession in 2009
when there was a marginal
reduction in the number of
adjudicator appointments and a
corresponding rise in the number
of new TCC actions.
ANOMALY
There is no clear explanation for
this anomaly, but we suggest
it may reflect a tendency in
recessionary times for parties
to pursue a final and binding
dispute resolution method in the
TCC, rather than one which is
One of the
consequences of
the CPR is that
litigants must
go through a
number of steps
before starting
proceedings

merely interim binding, such as

in adjudication.
It is only fair to add that since
approximately 2000, there are a
number of other factors which
have decreased the number of
cases in the TCC. These should
not be ignored in order to create
a full picture of the impact of
adjudication.
The Civil Procedure Rules
(CPR) came into force in 1999,
governing the way civil disputes
are run. One of the consequences
of the CPR is that litigants must
go through a number of steps
before starting proceedings. This
tends to weed out those disputes
that were never seriously
intended to result in a trial.
Indeed, two years after the
reforms, civil litigation was
down overall by 37%. In part
as a consequence of the CPR,
the growth in popularity of
Alternative Dispute Resolution,
particularly mediation, in the
early 1990s has also reduced the
number of cases going through
the courts.
In terms of the effect of
adjudication on arbitration, hard
data is more difficult to obtain.
However, a report by Dr Michael
Reynolds of the University of
Oxford Centre for Socio-Legal
Studies, in December 2014,
entitled An Overview of the Use
of Arbitration in England, came
to the reasonable conclusion
that construction arbitrations are
running at 10% of the number of
adjudications.
The experience of our own
firm is also that the number of
construction arbitrations (and
TCC cases) has consistently and
substantially reduced since the
introduction of adjudication.
Through statistics taken from
TCC annual reports, it is also
possible to get an idea of how
many adjudication proceedings
have gone on, either to be
enforced, or challenged in the
courts.
For example, in 2011/12, there

were 82 adjudication related
cases issued in the TCC these
cases are a combination of
those referred to in the TCC
annual reports as Adjudication
Enforcement or Adjudication
Other compared with 1,351
ANB adjudicator appointments.
This would suggest that in
the period in question, broadly
6% of adjudications resulted
in subsequent litigation. Our
analysis of the statistics for other
years reflects a broadly similar
pattern in terms of subsequent
litigation.
As already noted, statistics
related to arbitrations are more
difficult to come by. However,
because of the low number
of
domestic
construction
arbitrations conducted in the
UK, it may be safe to assume
that the number of decided
adjudications that go on to be
challenged by way of arbitration
is equally low.
MORE COMPLEX
Looking ahead, a report
produced in conjunction with
the Adjudication Society found
that there was a trend toward
longer adjudications and, while
payment is still primarily the
subject of disputes, there is an
increasing trend toward a greater
variety of issues being referred to
adjudication, resulting in longer
running and more complex and
therefore costly adjudications.
It will be interesting to see if
this trend will continue to grow,
and how, if at all, this will impact
the process.
Further
details
about
adjudication statistics can be
found in reports published by
Adjudication Reporting Centre at
Glasgow Caledonian University
and the Adjudication Society,
and in TCC statistics taken from
the relevant TCC Annual Reports
and Judicial Statistics Command
Papers.

FIEC
Apprenticeships can
give youth the edge
There are schemes to encourage vocational education and training linked
to companies, which lead to nationally-recognised qualifications
iven the particularly

strong impact of the
financial and economic
crisis on young people, with
unprecedented rates of youth
unemployment
currently
experienced in many Member
States, attention is again being
paid to the benefits of training
in general and, in particular, of
apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships,
or
dual
education, are schemes that
combine vocational education
and training (VET) in school
and in a company, and lead
to a nationally-recognised
qualification.
In countries with strong
apprenticeships traditions such
as Austria, Denmark, Germany
and the Netherlands such
schemes have shown that they
can facilitate the school-to-work
transition, and significantly
improve young peoples prospects
for sustainable employment.
VET systems with a quality
work-based learning component
have
proved
particularly
effective in delivering the right
skills for employment, as close
co-operation between schools
and companies allows employers
requirements to influence directly
the skills acquired by young
apprentices.
Evidence
indicates
that
countries with strong VET
and apprenticeship systems
have lower levels of youth

unemployment than countries

without such systems.
The types of apprenticeship
schemes and the proportion
of young people undertaking
apprenticeships varies greatly
across the EU.
In some countries, employers
may be reluctant to participate
in apprenticeships schemes
because of the adverse effects
of the economic crisis, but also
as a result of sector-specific
developments or structures, and
often also because of high levels
of bureaucracy.
Furthermore, the majority of
employers in the construction
industry are not only SMEs
but also micro companies,
and given their size they have
limited placements to offer with
because of a lack of resources
and personnel to supervise
apprentices, as well as expertise
to
manage
administrative
requirements.
However,
studies
show
companies
that
engage
apprentices are likely to benefit
from a net profit on their
investment, either during the
apprenticeship or soon after
by employing a fully-trained
worker having first professional
experience.
EMPLOYABILITY
At the same time, VET apprentices
will be able to learn the skills of
their chosen speciality in both
a professional and theoretical
environment. This way of learning
will therefore ensure a higher
degree of future employability
and mobility.
In the long run, such schemes
are likely to contribute to great
levels of social inclusion for all.
A further issue is the quality
of placements and their learning
potential.
Only with a high quality learning
experience, can the potential of
work-based learning be realised.
In order to maximise the quality
of work-based learning, countries

where VET relies strongly on
apprenticeships have put in place
strong governance and quality
assurance mechanisms. The
quality of the learning experience
is a result of many factors that
include company culture and
company strategic vision, as well
as the specific conditions of each
apprentice.
Although
VET
and
apprenticeships policies are
defined at the national level,
they figure among the highest
priorities in the EU social agenda.
In 2013, the European
Commission
launched
the European Alliance for
Apprenticeships (EAfA). Its main
objectives are to increase the
quality, supply and attractiveness
of apprenticeships across Europe,
and to change mind-sets towards
this type of learning.
EAFA PLATFORM
The EAfA is a platform that brings
together key stakeholders from
the employment and education
sectors, in order to co-ordinate
and upscale different initiatives
for successful apprenticeshiptype schemes.
Stakeholders
Member
States, companies and business
associations,
chambers
of
commerce,
industry
and
crafts, social partners, regional
authorities, education and
training providers, youth and
non-profit organisations, think
tanks and research institutes can
join the Alliance by submitting
a pledge about up-scaling an
existing programme or initiative,
launching a new partnership
or pilot scheme, starting
apprenticeships in a new country,
facilitating mobility, working on
quality, building awareness and
attractiveness or other relevant
actions.
As a follow-up stakeholders
must provide information on
the activities and results of
their pledge at least once a year

through an online survey.
The Alliance itself does not
provide funding. However,
various EU funding schemes
are available for apprenticeship
projects, such as the European
Social Fund (ESF), the Youth
Employment Initiative with
the Youth Guarantee, and the
Erasmus+ programme.
The European Investment
Bank (EIB) can also provide
loans to companies to set up
new apprenticeship schemes.
Droppin@Eures is a website for
concrete apprenticeship and
training offers, and for facilitating
partnerships between companies
and organisations.
At the beginning of 2015, as a
complement to the EAfA and in
the framework of the Construction
2020 Action Plan, the European
Commission decided to launch
a specific initiative focusing on
the improvement of quality and
supply of apprenticeships in the
construction industry across the
EU, and FIEC has been chosen
to support the Commission in its
implementation.
The aim is to obtain pledges
from the construction sector and
relevant stakeholders, containing
concrete commitment and
actions.
For instance, pledges could be
linked to promoting, introducing
and developing apprenticeshiptype training in companies that
have not previously used such
schemes.
This will encourage and facilitate
the transfer of apprenticeship
schemes which have proven their
success in a country/region to
another country/region where
no such scheme exists, review
existing apprenticeship models
in order to explore how the
appropriate capacities could
be ensured, and the quality,
efficiency and visibility of such
apprenticeship training models
could be increased.

are underlining that when it

comes to mastering the transition
towards higher-value digitised
machines and processes, EU
legislation has a prominent role
to play.
Digital technologies are set
to transform the two industries
and products in the years ahead,
and will reshape the value chains
they service construction and
agriculture. For manufacturers
and customers alike, this means
considerable change, challenges
and opportunities.
Looking
at
the
truly
transformative journey that lies
ahead, the sectors need a smart
regulatory framework that helps
to unlock the full potential of the
digital economy and empowers
the sectors to master the digital
transition.
FIVE PRIORITY AREAS

At the presentation of the
manifesto, the presidents
Eric Lepine (CECE) and Richard
Markwell (CEMA) said, Smarter
in the sense that it structurally
supports innovation and use of
digital machine technology in
our sectors, and does not act as
an unintended barrier.
It defines five priority areas for
future policy action.
First is to devise smart
regulation for smart machine
technology, and second to create
a true and reliable digital single
market.
The third point is to use relevant
EU tools and programmes CAP,
European Investment Plan to
incentivise digital technology
investment.
Fourth is a call to improve
broadband infrastructure in rural
and urban Europe for rapidly
growing data flows, and finally,
the manifesto calls for support
and encouragement of the
development of digital skills.
Looking at these points in
detail, when developing new
machines, virtual machine tests
are already used as a smart digital

alternative to conventional tests,
saving valuable R&D resources
and shortening developing
time to respond more quickly to
customers needs.
Smart regulation would make
sure that relevant EU regulation
and other policy instruments
recognised virtual testing so it
could replace, reduce and refine
conventional tests where
appropriate in the future.
Digital technologies are also
redefining the boundaries of
autonomous machine operation.
This means that regulations for
product safety and occupational
health and safety need to
evolve with digital technological
progress.
For instance, the current
requirement that a human needs
to be in control of a vehicle at all
times may need to be reviewed.
Smarter regulation in general
entails more coherent and
comprehensive approaches. The
digital dimension and impact
of EU legislation must be duly
considered, for instance through
digital impact assessments.
The digital economy needs a
harmonised, European approach
to achieve a high degree of
interoperability and compatibility
of digital technologies and
systems, particularly those
developed for professional and
industrial needs in agriculture
and construction.
Users and manufacturers
should have a reliable, secure and
trustworthy cyberspace. In line
with this, European approaches
are needed to establish clear
and appropriate rules governing
questions such as the ownership,
management and exploitation of
digital data flows and the role
and function of cloud-based
platforms in the digital economy.
EU programmes, such as the
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
and the European Investment Plan
have a role to play in supporting
competitiveness and the uptake

of innovation in farming and
construction. Measures and
mechanisms could be designed
to incentivise investments in
digital technology.
Adequate
broadband
infrastructure across the entire
EU is an essential precondition
for a successful and inclusive
digital transformation. However,
broadband access is still lagging
behind dramatically in many rural
and less densely populated areas
of the EU. Renewed efforts are
needed to avoid a future urbanrural digital divide and achieve
the EUs target of ensuring that
every company and household
has broadband access at a speed
of at least 30Mb/s by 2020.
The digital transformation will
trigger a growing demand for
highly skilled workers both
within the two industries and
the sectors they serve. Meeting
this rising demand will be
decisive in boosting industrial
competitiveness and driving up
productivity and sustainability in
both sectors.
Digital skills should be
integrated more strongly into
educational
curricula
and
ongoing skill development
programmes in relation to
manufacturing, engineering,
agriculture and construction.
To tackle the estimated shortage
of ICT professionals in Europe in
the coming years, Member States
should work to establish mutual
recognition of ICT qualifications
across the EU and promote crossborder mobility.
It is a fact that the rapidly
growing ability of machines to
collect, transmit and analyse
huge amounts of data on the
go is making working processes
smarter, safer, and greener.
Thanks to such automated
precision, errors and machine
downtime in operation can be
reduced, which saves time, fuel,
and costs.

ORGANISER:
Messe Mnchen
n April next year, the entire construction

industry will be in Munich, Germany at
least that is how it will seem, as the 31st
Bauma trade show will attract huge numbers
of people to see the latest machinery in the
construction industry.
Held every three years, Bauma saw 530,000
visitors from more than 200 countries last
time, making it the most significant place to
be for anyone in the industry.
In terms of exhibitors, there were 3,420
from 57 countries, and Bauma claimed that
both the exhibitor and visitor numbers were
record figures.
The Top Ten countries of origin among the
visitors were Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Italy, the Russian Federation, France,
Netherlands, the UK, Sweden and Poland,
which highlights its significance for Europe,
let alone the rest of the world.
One look at an aerial shot of the Bauma
showground demonstrates clearly that this
is not a show that a visitor can just turn up
to with no clear idea of what they want to do
and see. A plan is needed, and to help with
this, Construction Europe will be looking at the
show in detail during the months leading up
to Bauma 2016.
Visitors planning to arrive by air will
find that Munich Airport, the second-
Planning for
the big one
largest in Germany, offers continental and
intercontinental connections, while Bauma
recommends that any private jet visitors use
Special Airport Oberpfaffenhofen, which is
just 45 minutes from the showground. A
special Bauma-Oberpfaffenhofen package
can be arranged with Rheinland Air Service,
including landing permission, passenger
handling in advance, shuttle to the fair, and
a Bauma VIP card. Details are on the Bauma
website.
TRAVEL
For most air travellers, though, the arrival
point will be Munich Airport, where shuttle
buses depart for the show every 30 minutes,
with a journey time of 45 minutes. Trains run
from the airport to the city centre.
For anyone looking to travel to Munich by
train, the Central Station (Hauptbahnhof ) is
the second largest passenger train station
in Germany. To get to the show itself, the
U2 U-Bahn in the direction of Messestadt
Ost runs from 4am until 1am, taking visitors
directly to the Bauma site.
During peak times on weekdays, the U2
runs every five minutes from 7.30am to
10.10am from the Hauptbahnhof, and from
3.10pm to 6.55pm from Messestadt West.
Journey time about 18 minutes.
For car drivers, the New Munich Trade Fair

traffic control system will guide visitors to the
parking areas. The showground is on the A94
to the east of Munich.
Accommodation can get very scarce as the
thousands flock to the show, so it is very
strongly recommended that hotel bookings
are made as soon as possible. Many hotels will
already be full, and prices in the area can be a
surprise to new visitors too.
The Bauma website has some suggestions
of ways to find accommodation for the show,
including Messe Mnchen online hotel
booking powered by tradefairs.com, and
Airbnb.
In the coming months, Construction Europe
will be looking at many of the companies
that will be exhibiting at Bauma, and CE will,
of course, be at the show itself, with parent
company KHL.

Digging in
I
f the total market for excavators in Europe

is looking relatively stable at the moment,
the same cannot be said about the
individual countries around the continent.
For example, JCB pointed out that Italy and
Spain were showing positive signs of recovery.
However, it added that they had a long way to
go before they were the markets they once
were.
Volvo CEs Kurt Deleu agreed the picture
was mixed. He is product strategy director
EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) GPPE
(general purpose and production equipment)
excavators, and he said, We certainly cant say
that it is a consistent picture when looking at
different countries. While the UK and Nordic
countries are stable, the Russian market
continues to fall and there is hesitation in
France but Italy and Spain are picking up
slowly.
Deleu said that Volvo CE had seen a good
start to the year in Europe despite tough
market conditions.
The new EU Stage IV models have been
positively received by our customers and we
believe this has helped our performance.
Our new Stage IV-compliant E-Series
excavators offer even lower fuel consumption
and greater controllability than the previous
series, while maintaining the high levels of
operator comfort, safety and reliability upon
which we have built our strong reputation.
He added, Versatility, fuel efficiency,
ergonomics and safety are very important to
excavator customers in Europe today.
With this in mind, the new EC160E and
EC180E crawler excavators from Volvo
Construction Equipment are designed with
a range of new features which it said would

ensure fuel efficiency was a priority in all
applications.
Featuring Volvos Tier 4 Final/Stage
IV-compliant D4 engine, these machines are
said to combine low fuel consumption and
heavy-duty performance to maximise uptime
and reduce emissions. Increased engine power
guarantees highly responsive operation and
travel for maximum productivity, it said.
Volvo said the hydraulic system was
optimised to operate in harmony with
this powerful engine, working alongside a
fully electronic control system and Volvos
While there is not

much activity on the
surface, excavator
manufacturers are
constantly launching
new and improved
models. Sandy Guthrie
finds out more
advanced Eco mode to reduce power loss, and
improve controllability and response time. It
added that the Eco mode worked together
with the main control valve and machine
software to ensure efficient electronic pump
control.
To reduce cycle time, a boom float function
allows pump power from boom lowering to
be saved or used for other functions. The
EC160E and EC180E claim also to improve
efficient operations by reducing the amount
of time the machine is idling the engine will
automatically switch off when the machine is
inactive for a pre-set amount of time.

Volvo said that machine control systems and
connectivity seemed to be the next big thing.
What we see now happening on the market
is likely just a first phase and we believe that
more developments will come in the next few
years, said the company.
Caterpillar, too, is looking at lower fuel
consumption and other savings for customers.
Earlier this year it launched the 336F L/LN XE
Hybrid.
Matthew Newman, product application
specialist for Europe, Africa and the Middle
East, said the model was designed to lower
customers owning and operating costs
significantly, reducing fuel consumption by
up to 20% compared to the standard Cat 336E.
The 336F L/LN XE Hybrid, replacing the 336E
L/LN H Hybrid, features a Cat C9.3 Acert engine
that meets Stage IV emission standards.
Cat claimed the new Hybrid delivered
estimated fuel savings of up to 20% compared
with the standard 336F L/LN, and up to 25%
compared with previous standard 336E L/
LN, adding that this is with no compromise
The 307E2 from Caterpillar features a

standard tail swing and fixed boom

in performance or added maintenance costs.

The C9.3 ACERT engine uses selective
catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet EU Stage IV
emissions standards. The SCR system requires
the use of a small amount of diesel exhaust
fluid (DEF), approximately 3% of diesel fuel
consumption.
Then there is the Cat 340F hydraulic excavator
with a maximum operating weight of 42.8
tonnes. Its hydraulic system, with a maximum
flow of 570 litres/m, claims powerful digging
and lifting forces, as well as ample power for
hydro-mechanical work tools.
Fuel-saving features include two power
modes standard and economy. In addition,
an automatic engine-speed control adjusts
engine rpm to match the machines operating
load, and an engine-idle shutdown system
stops the engine after a pre-set idling interval.
Newman said, The 340F L reintroduces the
successful Heavy Duty High Wide (HDHW)
undercarriage concept, heavy counterweight
and a reinforced frame ensuring superior
stability for the toughest applications.
Equipped with the mass excavation or reach
boom/stick, this model is especially well
suited for truck loading in quarry or crusher

feeding application.
He added, The 340F L will also be offered
with 18m Long Reach Excavation (LRE) front,
ideally suited for applications such as deep
or long distance excavation in sand or gravel
pits, slope forming, cleaning of settling banks,
ponds and drainage.
INCREASE STABILITY
The Cat 352F hydraulic excavator has a
variable-gauge undercarriage. Newman said
the 52-tone-class machines undercarriage
retracted for transport and expanded to help
increase stability and lift capability, adding
that this was particularly helpful when an
operator is doing a lot of work over the side.
Caterpillar is continuing to develop its range
of mini-excavators and is launching two new
models in Europe, as well as North America.
There is a 7 tonne fixed boom and a 3 tonne
compact radius model.
The 303E CR compact radius fills the gap
in both size and specification between the
302.7D CR and 303.5E CR models.

German company Christian Pontiggia Tief- und Straenbau recently decided to buy a
Liebherr R 926 compact crawler excavator one of the first customers in Germany to do
so with Liebherr analysing the potential applications and configuring the work equipment
accordingly.
The company from the south of the Black Forest uses the new machine chiefly for building
sewage ducts, but Liebherr said that its flexibility meant that other earth moving tasks could
also be carried out efficiently.
Christian Pontiggia, the current business manager and son of the company founder of
the same name, said that the R 926 compact crawler excavator scored with its low fuel
consumption, which he said was, on average, 11 litres/h.
Liebherr said this was mainly
attributable to the frugal
Liebherr diesel engine, which it
said was adapted to Liebherrs

technology. This technology
is based on positive control

comfortably in confined urban environments.
The new 307E2 model features a standard
tail swing and fixed boom. Cat said it was ideal
for object handling and loading applications,
as the 307E2 allowed greater lift height and
loads than the 308E2 CR.

Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe said its
new HX300 L 30-tonne crawler excavator
was one of the most powerful and most
ergonomic machines from its new range.
Manufactured in Hyundais Ulsan factory
in South Korea, the HX300 L is fitted with a
180kW Cummins engine which complies with
Stage IV.
Hyundai claimed that compared to the 9A
series of machines, the HX range saw a 90%
reduction in PM (particulate matter) and NOx
(nitrous oxide).
FUEL REDUCTION
To achieve this, Hyundai has chosen a
combined solution with EGR (exhaust gas
recirculation) and SCR technology, which
it claimed resulted in a reduction of fuel
consumption of up to 12% depending on
the type of operation in comparison to
Hyundais 9A series of machines.
The HX300 L is fitted with an Eco gauge
which enables the economic operation of
the machine, showing engine torque and
fuel efficiency level plus the status of fuel
consumption such as average rate and the
total amount of fuel consumed.
Excel Excavations, based in Manchester,
ordered the first HX300 L to be sold in the UK.
Also among Hyundais six model new
excavator range is the HX260 L, a 260 tonne
crawler excavator. Its 142 kW Cummins engine
meets Stage IV, and is also fitted with an Eco
gauge.
The first Hyundai HX300 L in the UK was sold to Excel Excavations

HHIE said its performance in the heavy line
crawler excavators (12 to 80 tonne class) was
still growing when comparing 2014 figures to
2013. This was especially so in the 22 tonne
class, represented by the R220LC-9A, which it
said was showing a double-digit market share
and was continuously growing.
Also, the 14 to16 tonne class, led by the
R145LCR-9A, showed a strong performance,
it said. A new wheeled excavator, R160W-9A,
launched earlier this year, will fill an important
gap in the Hyundai range. The two-piece
boom version is due to be available this year.
In the smaller segment (0 to 10 tonne class),
where the South Korean manufacturer said
it was regarded more as a newcomer and
challenger, Hyundai said it had been working
hard to improve the products and to complete
the range. This has led to the recent additions

of the R17Z-9A and R25Z-9AK.
It said the 1.7 tonne R17Z-9A rounded out
Hyundais mini excavator range. The machines
variable undercarriage was said to provide
easy and efficient operation in limited space.
Doosan said its latest excavator addition built
on advances from the companys previous
LC-3 generation machines. The new Doosan
DX235NLC-5 Stage IV-compliant crawler
excavator offers a narrow width design that is
said to be ideal for transportation and for work
in confined spaces.

to the previous model, said Doosan, claiming
a 10% increase in engine power and 13% in

resulted in a further reduction of emissions
and running costs.
Hitachi design engineers have incorporated
new TRIAS II technology into the Zaxis-6 range
of excavators to meet EU Stage IV emission
regulations. Hydraulic loss is said to have
been decreased by reducing the amount of
hydraulic oil returned to the tank thanks to
co-operative control of the pump and valve.
Another change to the Zaxis-6 range is the
implementation of an SCR system. A urea
solution is injected into the exhaust gas of
the Zaxis-6 medium excavators to reduce NOx
from the emissions. An aftertreatment device
integrated with diesel oxidation catalyst
(DOC), urea water mixing pipe, SCR catalyst
and silencer has also been incorporated.
JCB said that ensuring the machines are

we have the biggest DEF tank possible to
reduce the refill time as well as keeping
everyone informed of the machines status.
The biggest effect we can have on
emissions is reducing fuel consumption. From
our previous engine supplier we have brought
it down by 16% with our latest Stage IV saving.
This is a huge reduction in CO2 emissions.
JCB said it had improved its growing JS

Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe has
introduced its latest Generation 10 specialist
earthmoving and construction excavators.
The SK260LC-10/SK260NLC-10 is the next

Eco-mode saw a 10% reduction. It said this
was further enhanced with a 5% productivity
improvement in H-mode operation.
SK260LC-10/SK260NLC-10, powered by
Hino engines, claims to carry the very latest

Wacker Neuson claims its new excavators in
the 6 to 10 tonne class ET65, EW65 and ET90
save up to 20% fuel and higher performance.
They boast features such as a load-sensing
hydraulic system for a simple and precise
operation, innovative kinematics for powerful

excavation and a revised machine and cabin
design providing all-around visibility of the
entire working area.
Gert Reichetseder, managing director
of Wacker Neuson Linz, said, Technical
innovations provide both a simple and
intuitive operation of the machines as well
as efficiency and profitability in application,
especially in tight spaces.
Good all-around visibility, as well as a view
of the tracks and attachment on both sides,
is indispensable for safe operation and quick
working in the construction site sector. Due
to the lateral offset of the boom, as well as
the valve hood strongly rounded to the front,
the new excavators meet these requirements
perfectly.
He added, The innovative kinematics
make it possible to insert the bucket even
deeper vertically into the ground and gives
it significantly more power when excavating.
This summer saw the launch from Komatsu
Europe International of a new PW16010 wheeled excavator fitted with a Stage
IIIB engine that boasts up to 8% less fuel

Sebastian Zienau, product manager
for wheeled excavators, said, Thanks to
industry-leading characteristics, such as its
superior lifting capacity, outstanding stability
and upgraded driving performance, the
productivity of the PW160-10 can equal that
of a higher class machine.
The integrated design of the new Komatsu

Hidromek excavators cover a wide range
between 14 and 50 tonne class machines.
The newest member of Hidromek Gen Series
excavators, the HMK 490 LC HD, was introduced

260kW Isuzu engine. Operating weight of the
machine is 50,800kg with a 6,550mm boom,
a 2,650mm arm and 2.7m standard bucket
which all are designed as heavy duty type.
Yanmar has introduced its first model with
an articulated boom the SV100 2-Piece
Boom.
It said the articulated boom configuration
originated from heavy wheeled excavators
and improved the performance of the
machine drastically, particularly in lifting,
moving and placing loads.

Growth in
flat market
Hydraulic breakers have been around for nearly
50 years, so the technology is well established.
Lindsay Gale of CE sister magazine Demolition &
Recycling International (D&Ri) investigates
reakers are growing in popularity at

a time when sales of earthmoving
machines have been flat or falling
around the world, according to Peter Jowett,
product manager at JCB.
He said, The market for breakers grew
across the world in 2014 and it is growing in
2015, with the US and the UK in particular
doing well. The rental sectors in construction
and quarrying have also been good markets,
with breakers used with larger and miniexcavators, and backhoe loaders.
He added, The core lines that we have been
focusing on have been the midi excavators
and models of 20 tonnes. We have found that
it is this kind of equipment that is often used
by owner-operators for clearing work, new
infrastructure and also for quarrying.
It is important we make sure that we find
Doosan breakers include the DXB100H
the right machine for our customers, he said.

The company has a 16-strong line-up of JCB
Hammermaster breakers to suit both JCB and
competitor machines from 0.5 tonnes to 55
tonnes.
Its range that has been specifically designed
to match JCBs own machines requirements
including all excavators, skid steer and
backhoe loaders.
However, its larger breakers can also be
supplied with a universal fitment, without a
hanger bracket, enabling them to be fitted
on any machines using dedicated quick hitch
systems.
Meanwhile, Sandvik has introduced four
new Rammer branded breakers three new
small units and the 5011 heavy duty hammer.
The new small breakers are the 255, 355 and
455 that plug a gap in the companys line up
and are intended for carriers from 1.2 tonnes
to 5.2 tonnes.
A key feature is the constant blow energy
operating principle, which Sandvik said
maximised productivity and profitability.
UK-based demolition company AR
Demolition used a new 5011 to clear the
site of the former Northampton Chronicle
newspaper offices in the English Midlands.
The hammer was mounted on a Volvo EC460L
hydraulic excavator, delivering a high power/
low impact rate for the application of concrete
breaking.
AR Demolition managing director Richard

Dolman described the site as a potential
nightmare in terms of the challenge of
clearing heavily-concreted areas.
He said, We are clearing the site in advance
of the construction of a new store for a major
supermarket chain and we cannot afford
delays. So we chose a breaker that was as
reliable as it is powerful.
Sandvik also markets breakers under the
Bretec brand, which is designed to be a midlevel range.
The latest additions to the C-series range
are the M17C and L20C, which incorporate a
number of new features and updates over the
M17 and L20 models they replace.
Designed for carriers in the 15 tonne to
23 tonne, and 20 tonne to 29 tonne weight
classes, the M17C and L20C models boast
operating weights of 1.2 tonnes and 1.6
tonnes respectively. Impact rates range from
280 to 760 blows per minute on the M17C,
and from 390 to 700 blows per minute on the
L20C.

BREAKERS
Minimising the number of moving parts in
the latest compact breaker models is another
major trend fewer moving parts should
mean less maintenance and break-downs.
Among those taking a lead on this front is
Caterpillar, which says its new E Series line
of breakers features 47% fewer parts than
the D-Series they replace. The company said
the idea behind this change was to provide
quicker and easier servicing.
Last summer, it added four new breakers
to its E Series line, mainly intended for
customers using mini excavators, skid steers
and backhoes in North and South America.
The new breakers are the H35E, H45E, H55E
and H65E, designed for carriers weighing 1
tonne to 9 tonnes.
All four models are available in either
standard or silent configurations, with the
H65E breakers carrying an additional s
designation at the end of the model number.
The silenced versions have fully enclosed
Sandviks Bretec range of

Rammer products
housings to suppress noise, while the

suspension system includes buffers at the top
and bottom to adsorb reflective forces and
isolate the breaker from the carrier.
A suspension jack is also said to help in
dampening vibration and sound during
operation.
In addition, the H45E and H55E are also
available as pin-on and flat-top units. The
flat top models can be used on Caterpillar
machines and those from other OEMs, while
the pin-on models are used on dedicated
hammer-equipped Cat carriers.
Atlas Copco offers the MB and HB range of
breakers, which include an advanced energy
recovery system that captures piston recoil
energy to increase performance without
additional hydraulic input.
The two series also features the companys
Integrated StartSelect valve, which allows
the operator to adjust the hydraulic breaker
start-up behaviour according to the operating
condition in a few simple steps. Meanwhile,
the built-in PowerAdapt overload protection
valve shuts off the breaker when operating
pressure is not in line with specifications,
protecting it from breakdowns.
Last year, the company also released its
HB 4100 hydraulic breaker, which is a 4.1
tonne unit for 40 tonne to 70 tonnes carriers.
It features a Vibrosilenced system that is
designed to protect operators against noise
and vibrations.
Caterpillars E series breakers are available

either as standard or silenced versions that
feature an enclosed housing
Dehacos Ibex range of gas charged breakers

has 14 models, including the 340kg 320GS
Its equipment has also proved popular
within the rental market, with businesses such
as German fleet sales and hire company M&V
Veit Baumaschinen. It has bought 15 new SB
series hydraulic breakers to add to its existing
models.
Volvo Construction Equipment has added
seven models to its HB range intended for
use on carriers from 1 to 10 tonnes, and, in
fact, offers a full line of hydraulic breakers 18
models in total for all applicable machines,
ranging from 1.5 tonne compact excavators,
skid steer loaders and backhoe loaders up to
the 70 tonne EC700 excavators.
Jonas Staaf, director of attachments for
Volvo CE in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and
Africa) sales region, said, Very few breaker
manufacturers can claim that they are truly
unique. Of course, there are some variations in
features and specifications. Volvo breakers, for
example, come with a good level of standard
features, such as anti-blank firing, autolubrication, low noise hosing and variable
speed. But at a high level most breakers are
quite similar.
At Volvo we have focused on building a
productive and reliable beaker with good
uptime that can also be considered cost
effective globally.
To ensure high reliability, Volvo breakers are
subjected to thorough testing and must pass
all Volvo quality requirements. This includes
Breaking new ground with Joy

The major story this year as far as breakers were concerned was the announcement in June of
Doosans divestiture of Montabert when it sold the brand to global mining supplier Joy Global,
based in Milwaukee, US.
At the time, Joy Global said that Montabert would continue to develop industry-leading
technology and products, which would continue to be distributed by its original equipment
and dealer networks. And by adding drilling products to its offerings, Joy Global will be able

Joy Global CEO and president Ted Doheny said, Montaberts rock drill products and rock
breakers complement our expanded offerings for the Hard Rock market, an exciting growth
area for Joy Global.
We look forward to breaking new ground with Montaberts products in the mining market
and beyond.
At the time of the move, Doosan said that it would provide Montabert and its employees
with the opportunity to work for a global mining equipment business that was active in all
major mining regions in the world. It would also allow Doosan to focus more on capturing all
opportunities in order to grow its business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Doosan went on to say that all supply agreements between it and Montabert for all Bobcat
and Doosan branded products would continue and that Montabert would ensure that all
dealers needs will be served with the highest level of quality and service.

ideal for use in primary breaking operation
in mining and quarrying applications as
well as the demolition of large structures.
It was developed to achieve a high
breaking volume in short term demolition

The range features only a few moving parts

These developments show that while
hydraulic breakers have been around for 50

going on into new models that are simpler to
maintain, more reliable in operation, and in
some cases have better performance through
the capture of waste energy.

Chicago Pneumatic has unveiled its Red

His third point concerned the reduction of
energy consumption, which he said remained
a focus.
This mainly applies to clean conditions
because in poor conditions reliability is always
considered more important than efficiency.

Improving efficiency is primarily about
choosing the right pump.
Many people oversize. Like their
counterparts in the compressor world, pump
manufacturers are particularly focused on
finding ways to reduce the electrical input at
times of low load.
He gave an example of a variable speed drive
(VSD) machine which would enable customers
to leave the pump running in the knowledge
that it was not racking up high fuel costs.
In terms of buying, he said, customers

There may not have been major changes in the

pump world, but that doesnt mean there is a
lack of innovation. Sandy Guthrie investigates
he dewatering business has been

very steady for many years, so that
while small innovations can be seen,
no revolutionary change has been evident,
according to Per Rehn, vice president of
business development for pumps at Atlas
Copco.
He added, Atlas Copco has a habit of making
large step changes in technologies that have
seen little innovation.
There are three main drivers for innovation
in pumps, he said, with the first of these being
improvement in clog resistance.
If a pump becomes clogged, then it will
reduce the flow of water you are pumping,
said Rehn. When clogging occurs, it will affect
performance, and if allowed to continue for
an extended period of time the pump could
ultimately burn out.
Its not very often that we pump perfectly
clean water, so some element of clogging
will always be there. Manufacturers are
always looking at the positioning of parts and
specifically the inlet holes and passing areas.
He added that manufacturers were looking
at ways to break down larger masses and
allow them to pass more easily.
Another

BBAs BA300E is described as the most
compact 12in pump in its class
should work with their manufacturers from

scratch and not just say we had product X in
the past.
Specifying a pump can be a tricky business.
Its not just about the water you need to
remove, its also the length and size of the
hose, allied to the distance and height you
need to pump.
Atlas Copco Portable Energy expanded its
dewatering pump range earlier this year with
the introduction of a new range of dieseldriven portable pumps. This featured the 4in,
6in and 8in dry-prime units PAS 4, PAS 6 and
PAS 8.
For Xylem, Europe is expected to come to
the fore, according to Colin Sabol, senior vice
president and president of its dewatering
business.
He joined the company in 2013 two years
after it was spun off from ITT Corporation
and he said that Europe would become
more important as a result of a combination
of a rental model that had more scope for
development than its US counterpart and a
shift away from asset ownership.
Xylem has set up rental hubs in key locations
such as Paris, Bremen and Madrid, and
Sabol said that dozens of European branch
managers spent part of their time undergoing
training in the US.
The dewatering division of which Sabol
is in charge has 1,400 employees, more
than 150 rental and sales sites, over 100
distributors, three product development and
engineering centres, and the same number
of manufacturing sites. The rental side of the
business is clearly a key element and in 2014,
pump rental was worth close to 300 million
to Xylem.
The companys principal brands are Godwin
diesel pumps, which it acquired while still part
of ITT in 2010, and Flygt submersible pumps, a
company that made its first pump as far back
as 1930. Godwin CD400M pumps have been
used in the Panama Canal project in Central
America.
Product development at Xylem is set to
continue.
Sabol said, We have both diesel and
submersible pumps, and we are constantly
refurbishing the product line.
The trend that we are focusing on is
embedding more intelligence into the pump
and the pump applications. This is our Field
Smart Technology. Its not added to the
46
pump, but embedded inside so we could

build sensors into a submersible pump, so it
can tell when its running dry and turn itself
off. That would improve the life of the pump
dramatically.
He said, Were always ready to go and help
our customers, even in pretty severe conditions
like tsunamis, droughts or hurricanes.
We have built two very successful brands
in Godwin and Flygt and we have built
a reputation for sending the pumps out
tens of thousands of times without ever
having a disappointed customer. When
the customers mine is flooding, he needs
someone to go in and get it right first time. He
needs it fixed.
Xylem differs from a number of pump
rental companies in both renting and making
pumps.
Godwin CD400M pumps have been

used in the Panama Canal project
in Central America
MANUFACTURE AND RENT

Sabol said, There are very few other
companies that manufacture and rent, and
none that do it on the scale of Xylem. Around
80% of our customers have both bought and
rented products from us, and we spend a lot
of time talking to customers about why they
are attracted to our company.
When we design the next iteration of a
pump, or decide what it should be, we go first
to our own rental operations. Renting makes
us a better manufacturer and manufacturing
makes us a better renter.
And we never point the finger at the OEM.
We are responsible for the pump and the
service that comes with it.
That said, around 5% of the companys

global rental fleet has been made elsewhere.
Were not naive enough to think we have
everything that people need, said Sabol. We
have many competitors pumps in our fleet.
He highlighted the differences between
manufacturing and rental.
The rental business is much more capital
intensive, he said. We have plenty of capacity
to manufacture pumps. We wouldnt need to
expand or build a new factory.
The vast majority of money is going into
network branches, and the focus on branch
expansion is global. Were expanding in the
US, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Strict requirements
Boskalis Technical Service Nederland (Boskalis Nederlands internal rental company) has strict
requirements for its pumps including high fuel efficiency and the lowest possible exhaust
emissions, while for easy handling and job site suitability, Boskalis requires a maximum
weight of no more than 12,000kg and dimensions that will allow it to fit inside a 20ft
container.
When it needed a pump to support the widening and partial rerouting of the A1 motorway
that runs through Muiden, the Netherlands, it deployed a BBA water transfer pump unit a
BA-C500S11 D711.
As Boskalis pumps a mixture of sand and water along the existing highway to create a base
for the extra lanes, the BBA unit pumps excess water to a reservoir 3km away. The pump is
equipped with a 13-litre Stage IV Volvo Penta TAD1374VE engine at 375kW. Volvo Penta said
that it was partly because of its compact unit that the pump fitted easily into a 20ft container
and weighed just 10,800kg.
Exhaust gas is treated using AdBlue. It is equipped with a newly developed, extremely
silent and lightweight canopy, according to BBA.
It said the auto prime pump provided a capacity of 5,500m3/h and a maximum head of
37mwk.
Henno Schothorst, BBA Pumps product manager, said, We cant ignore this any longer
this is a pump unit for the future.

The Grindex Primo D4 is said to have
an affordable price
We have around 15 branches opening a year

and were building the pump fleet and truck
fleet to go with them.
He added, Its a topic we discuss regularly
what is the critical barrier to entry for
someone coming into the pump rental
market? Currently, I would say that operating
on a scale where you have 20,000 pumps is
difficult to replicate, though money can do
anything.
Then its about having the network of
branches, the fleet of vehicles and being close
enough to serve the market. A typical pump
goes out on rent for just a couple of weeks at
a time. Its in and out of a job more than 20
times a year.
He said Xylem had a diverse customer base
and didnt rely on any one market.
There has been substantial growth in
construction, such as homes and industrial
complexes. There has also been growth in civil
construction bridges, roads, tunnels, public
and private utilities, water and wastewater.
Earlier this year, Xylem launched a new online
dewatering website bringing its Flygt and
Godwin dewatering product brands together
on one web platform. It said it was delivering
rich product content and tools to enable quick
customer access to Xylems rental services and
expertise.
It said the website had been designed in
close consultation with customers across the
construction, mining, municipal and industrial
segments.
The site offers new content including
product, service, parts and application
information to help with customers research
and decision making.
It also features blogs, a site search and mobile
compatibility for easy access in the field. The
site provides country-relevant content based
on where the customer is located.
Sabol said, Weve listened closely to our
customers and built our new website based
on their needs and with their user experience
firmly in mind.
We know that our customers want an
informative self-serve environment to research
and explore their options. Based on that
premise, the site represents our broad range
of products and deep expertise in

solving complex challenges.
He cited the new Pump Finder tool
as an example. It allows customers
to narrow to the most appropriate
products for specific applications.
Customers can also find
information on our floodwater
drainage to slurry pumping
capabilities, as well as the benefits
of our rental solutions, he added.
The new online dewatering hub
features case studies, white papers,
how-to videos and manuals. A blog section
hosted by Xylem subject matter experts
contains educational articles on important
regulations like Tier 4, as well as repair and
maintenance best practice tips.
The latest additions to the range at BBA
Pumps are the BA300E described as the

most compact 12in pump in its class
and the BA100K a diesel driven
4in solids handling pump.
According to product manager
Henno Schothorst, We received
frequent requests for a more
compact 12in (305mm) waste
water pump. This is because of
the limited space available in
urban areas for sewer bypass
jobs.
Thats why we are proud
of this entirely new BA300E
development compared to the
previous model it is now much
easier to deploy for wastewater projects.
He said the 12in pump was popular in
construction and also in flood control. In
creating the new model, BBA concentrated
in particular a small footprint and lowest
weight.

Compared to the previous model, he said,
there is 500kg less weight,
and the outside dimensions
are important in an urban
situation where there is no
room for a sewer bypass, for
example. People are always
struggling for room.
It measures around 3m
x 1m, and the company
claimed a capacity to
1,250m 3/h and 19mwc
(metre water column) and an
excellent NPSH (net positive section
head) curve. It has a semi-open impeller with
a free solids passage of no less than 120 x
105 mm, and is dry self-priming through the
MP100 vacuum pump (100m3/hr)
BBA added that it generally used 10% less
fuel when compared to the previous model,
and its dimensions were 200mm narrower,
350mm shorter and 200mm lower.
Schothorst said that the requirements for
reduced emissions meant more room was
needed for the aftertreatment. This has been
accommodated, however, and the 3.4 litre
common-rail diesel engine comes equipped
with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a
diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) catalytic
converter.
The BA100K 4in (102mm) pump also uses
a DPF to meet the emissions regulations.
Schothorst described it as more powerful and
sophisticated than its predecessor, and added
that the company had also focused on lower

He said that BBA had a company philosophy

HIGH CAPACITY
The BA100K is a dry self-priming dewatering
and sewage pump with a capacity of over
190m3/h and a maximum head of 22mwc.
It has free passage of 82mm and the unit is
driven by a single-cylinder diesel engine with
a calculated maximum fuel consumption of
1.75 litre/h.
BBA said that its DriveOn technology meant
that the service interval for the new BA100K
had now increased from 500 operational
hours normal for standard engines to
1,500 hours. Changing oil and replacing filters
Gritty sediment
The Plpusztai Mezgazdasgi milk farm, close to the city of Sifok, Hungary, is home to
2,000 cows and produces a lot of sewage water, containing gritty sediment that needs
removing in order to keep its equipment and tanks in good condition.
Tsurumis Hungarian distributor, Verbis Kft, provided a GPN411 sand pump to replace
another model the company was using that was not an agitator pump. As it was unable to
pump out the sediment from the water and because the sewage pit was already full of sand,
the company relied on the Tsurumi agitator pump to do the job.
The pump was installed directly in the sewage pit. After preparation and installation on a
very hot day with temperatures reaching 370C, it took only one day for the pump to clear
out the water.
The Tsurumi GPN411, originally named the
GPN3-100, is a heavy duty sand pump with a
chromium iron casting impeller and suction
plate, which increases the pumps life.
The pump casing is designed to have
a wide passing area, and is made out of
thick grey iron casting material. The pump
body is mainly constructed from cast iron
and has a side discharge to reduce the
abrasive medium touching the pump motor,
which is designed to ease the maintenance
work thanks to less wear, and protects the
motor from damage through abrasion. Also
the pump facilitates a 4-pole motor that
reduces wear on hydraulic parts. It handles
up to 30mm solids, 11kW power output, 4in
outlet, and is equipped with 20m of durable
NSSHO cable.
The Tsurumi pump was installed
directly into the sewage pit

has also become much easier,

it claimed.
The RF system, an exhaust
module developed by BBA,
provides the capability
to equip the pump with
an optional soot filter/
catalytic module. It said
this option reduced the
exhaust emission to
virtually zero, giving
more flexibility to the
end user, allowing
the new BA100K
pump to be used in
more locations, even in towns and city centres
with the strictest environmental rules.
The market demand for small, affordable
pumps is increasing, according to Grindex
which is introducing the Primo line.
Described as robust, handy and affordable
single phase pumps, the Primo range consists
of two drainage and two sludge versions. These
pumps are said to be suitable for construction,
industrial and municipal applications, with
a compact design allowing the pumps to
operate in dewatering applications where
others will not fit.
Until now, Grindex has focused on premium
pumps, but has decided to offer a broader
range of pumps to meet the demanding
market requirements. The pumps are
designed and manufactured in Japan and
have been on the market for several years
with a good track record.
Grindex said that as the pumps are often
working in media containing chemicals or
in otherwise contaminated environments,
the affordable price could be advantageous
as customers could fit a new one and
take care of the decommissioned one in an
environmentally responsible way instead
of decontaminating, sanitising and repairing.
Peter Uvemo, sales manager for the EMEA
(Europe, Middle East and Africa) region said
that with the introduction of the new Primo
pumps, Grindex opportunities were globally
strengthening as the product portfolio was
expanded and adjusted to changing customer
demands.
Paclite Equipment has introduced a flexible
shaft pump, which it said was suitable for any
type of water, and could handle 72m3/h of
water from construction sites.
Managing director Kent Gorsun said the
PFP80 Force pump had a 6m flexible shaft.
It is a submersible pump for draining and
removal of water from trench sand building
sites without the use of electric power. The
Force pump can take aggregates as large as
19mm.
It is powered by a Honda engine, and is
equipped with fireman couplings and a 10m
or 25m water hose.
Gorsun said it was a far better choice than
an electric power pump which would have
to be 3-phase and considerably heavier. He
added that it had a strong flexible shaft with
quick connection to the pump, and an easyto-replace shaft.
The PFP-Force pump is both flexible and

INTERVIEW
Last June, Volvo

completed its
acquisition of Terex
Trucks, the UK-based
business making
articulated and rigid
frame off-highway
haulers. Chris Sleight
visited the factory a
year on from the deal
to see how life had
changed under its
new owner
s acquisitions in the construction

equipment industry go, Volvos
purchase of the Terex hauler business,
which was announced nearly two years ago in
December 2013, was an interesting one.
Rigid haulers were missing from Volvos
portfolio, and they looked like a good fit
with the excavators and wheeled loaders
the company supplies to mines and quarries
around the world.
But the perplexing point was the reason for
adding the Terex articulated dump truck (ADT)
range to the family. It might be considered
that this would compete with Volvos own
ADTs, which cover the same weight classes
and applications.
But from the outset, Volvo has been adamant
that its own brand of ADTs and Terexs
machines were at different ends of the market.
It was something Terex Trucks global director
of sales and marketing, Sam Wyant, reinforced.
We see the benefit of a standard feature set
product, or you could say a value feature set
product. We have noticed that with a few sister
brands in the Volvo Group, but particularly
with SDLG in the construction equipment
world, you see those products being better
accepted in certain markets than the premium
products.
The Terex Trucks product plays nicely into
that.
So Terex ADTs have a future under Volvos
ownership, and Wyant said there was also
a will to develop them further. But he
acknowledged there was also a balance to be
struck between adding features and keeping
the no frills approach.
We have processes in place to make sure
we define the key criteria, he said. For us, we
look to be a durable and reliable machine with
simplistic operation. Its also something that is
pretty gritty. Its a machine that is aggressive,
Adding to
the family
with very good gearing to allow us to pull on
slopes. Those are key attributes we want to
keep on our products.
The most visible changes since Volvo
acquired Terex Trucks have been a string of
dealer appointments, and the company has
also launched a website in conjunction with
Machinery Trader for dealers to advertise used
trucks for sale www.terextrucksused.com
But Wyant said there had been a lot of
activity in some more subtle areas.
Weve made hires to reinforce our sales
structure and marketing
g team,, and continue
to put ourselves in a position to support the
distribution and our customers in a better
way. That was one of the key things since the
acquisition was to put some of the key pieces
in place to support the customers and become
the specialist.
That is really how we see ourselves in
the marketplace the specialist and
the expert for off-road truck solutions,
he said.
the machines they have, which means they

will have to replace them.
Until the commodity prices come back, they
are using the fleets they already have and they
are wearing them out, so they will have to
re-fleet at some point in time.
So besides a market rebound to lift the
spirits, what other changes will we see at Terex
Trucks a few years down the line?
You will continue to see the evolution and
working with our dealers to strengthen our
position in the marketplace, and strengthen
our relationship
p with the end users.
You would see some changes in the
products and how we approach those. You
would also see some changes in the facilities
here and our working environment.
ce
CHALLENGING
However, there is no getting away
from the fact that the off-highway
truck business is a challenging one
this year.
Mines
are
key
end-users,
particularly for rigid haulers, and with
global commodity prices remaining
weak, there is neither the confidence
nor the will to invest in new machines.
According to Wyant, Terex Trucks
customers still look like they are keeping
busy, but he agreed that investment
decisions were being put off.
We have seen fairly good utilisation of parts.
Our aftermarket business has maintained its
strength and is doing quite well.
The good news with that is the fleets are
being utilised. The customers are using

JCB chairman Lord Bamford at the launch
of the 3CX Compact at the companys
headquarters in Rocester, UK
JCB adds new

compact backhoe
Hassle-free answer for material handling customers
is among new models introduced by UK manufacturer.
Chris Sleight reports from the launch event
CB has launched the 3CX

Compact, the successor to
the 2CX compact backhoe
loader, and the company said
the new machine had been
designed from scratch to meet
the requirements of urban
construction work.
Key improvements over the
2CX are said to include a higher
travel speed and tighter turning

circle.
The 3CX Compact has been
designed for road resurfacing
and repair work, utilities, ground
workers and municipalities
working on congested urban
construction sites. It measures
1.9m wide and 2.74m high, while
offering a turning circle diameter
The 3CX Compact has
been designed with a
variety of applications
on confined sites in
mind, such as urban
street repair
of 5.8m thanks to four-wheel

steering. This means it can turn
around on a standard singlecarriageway road.
The machine features a
hydrostatic transmission with a
top speed of 40km/h. This is 17%
faster than the 2CX and means
it is feasible to self-drive the
3CX Compact between sites, as
opposed to bringing in a 2CX on
a trailer.
The front-end loader comes
with a range of buckets and
provides a load over height of
2.98m and maximium forward
reach at full height of 1.11m. This
allows the loading of on-highway
trucks.
At the excavator end, the
maximum dig depth with an
extending Extradig dipper stick
is 4.33m. The standard package
offers 3.07m of dig depth.
JCB chief innovation and
growth officer Tim Burnhope

said, It outperforms a mini
excavator at digging and it
outperforms a compact wheeled
loader at loading.
Power comes from a 55kW JCB
Diesel by Kohler engine which
meets Stage IIIB emissions laws
in Europe there is no Stage IV
requirement for engines under
56kW. This is achieved without
the use of a diesel particulate
filter (DPF) or selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) technology,
which cuts down on day-to-day
running costs as well as servicing
requirements.
JCB says that even its

larger telescopic handlers
remain productive with
engines as small as 55kW

EQUIPMENT
The absence of a DPF means
there is no need to clean or
replace this unit periodically, no
need to use high grade low ash
oils, and no need to regenerate
the unit to burn-off accumulated
soot periodically.
The absence of an SCR system
means there is no need to fill up
with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
marketed under the AdBlue
trade name in many countries
which again is a cost saving. The
absence of these systems also
means a lower purchase price for
the machine.
The use of this approach
forms a key part of JCBs engine
strategy. For example, the
company is now offering its
entire telehandler range, up to
and including the range-topping
20m reach 540-200, with 55kW
or lower engines. These are
either the Kohler unit or JCBs
own 4-cylinder EcoMax diesels.
Burnhope described the move
as, The hassle-free answer for
the majority of our materialhandling customers.
MORE POWERFUL
The larger machines are available
with more powerful engines, a
normal 81kW unit in the 540-200
for example, but JCB said that
there was no loss of productivity
in typical construction site
applications. The company
added that higher engine
powers were more relevant to
the agricultural market, where
machines tended to be driven on
roads more and used heavy duty
powered attachments.
The 55kW JCB by Kohler
engine is also being used in the
companys latest midi crawler
excavator, the 9 tonne class zero
tailswing 90Z-1. This means JCB
now offers six excavators in the
6.5 to 10 tonne classes, most of

which have been introduced in
the last 12 months. Burnhope
said, the latest addition had
been developed specifically to
meet customer needs in Europe
and the US.
The 90Z-1 has a more powerful
engine than the 8.6 tonne 86C1, with a larger dig end and
increased hydraulic capacity to
boost performance further. It
is also a genuine zero tailswing
model, with the counterweight
never straying outside the
footprint of the tracks at any
point as it slews.
The larger digging equipment
provides a maximum depth
of 4.15m, and the boom can
be slewed on its kingpost
mounting. JCB said this was
attractive to customers which
expected the machine to be
used in confined spaces.
Another example of JCB using
its own engines more widely is
in its larger excavators. Models
for sales in Europe and the
US from the 13 tonne JS130
to 22 tonne class JS235 now
feature a JCB EcoMax engine,
which the company said helped
deliver a 6% reduction in fuel
consumption compared to the
previous model.
Another key component
in this is the use of the latest
generation
of Kawasaki
hydraulic pumps,
which also
contribute to
JCB is now fitting its own Tier 4 Final EcoMax engine in excavators as
large as this 22 tonne model
lower fuel consumption.

In order to develop the
required power and meet
emissions regulations, the
company has incorporated an
SCR aftertreatment system.
However, there is still no DPF
required. JCB also said that by
using SCR on an already clean
burning engine, the amount of
DEF required was fairly small. At
a ratio of 2% to 3% DEF to fuel,
the dosing level is thought to be
the lowest in the industry for this
class of machine.
Inside the cabs of the new
machine, displays have been
updated to give the operator
information on DEF levels, along
with the usual information. JCB
is also offering a package
JCBs new 9 tonne zero tailswing excavator, the 90Z-1 complements

five other midi excavators added to the range in the last year
called the Plus Pack, which

adds various improvements
around the machines, from an
upgraded seat for the operator
to additional pipe work for
attachments, and more working
lights, among other features.
Another development from
JCB is the launch of new
variants on its 4CX backhoe
loaders, equipped with special
attachments and modifications
to take on specialised
applications. These come on the
heels of last years launch of the
5CX Wastemaster, a machine
designed specifically to load
and handle high-sided waste
containers.
New additions now include
the 4CX Pilingmaster and
4CX Polemaster, for special
applications.
As the name suggests, the
Pilingmaster is for sinking
relatively small size bored,
uncased piles. A special pile
boring attachment replaces the
dipper stick on the excavating
end, and this has 13kNm of
torque to allow 450mm diameter
piles to be sunk to a depth of up
to 14m.
The machines side-shift facility
and the reach of the boom mean
it can potentially bore several
piles from one position, without
the need to relocate.
Meanwhile, the Polemaster has
been equipped to erect wooden
telegraph and power line poles.
Attachements include an auger,
a Rotojaw bucket to clamp,
manoeuvre and place the poles,
and a side-mounted pole carrier.
The machine can handle poles as
long as 16m, weighing up to
750kg.

and take pictures
during the
inspection
Fuel consumption is said to

have been cut by up to 15%
omatsu Europe has

launched a new GD675-6
motor grader with a dual
mode transmission specifically
designed for Komatsu motor
graders which is said to help cut
fuel consumption by up to 15%.
The new Komatsu grader is
said to offer the longest wheel
base in its class. Claiming a
cleaner and high-performance
Komatsu EU Stage IV engine,
the GD675-6 is said to be more
environmentally-friendly, burn
less fuel and cost less to operate.
William Groven, product
manager for motor graders,
said the grader driver was
generally the most skilled
operator on the jobsite. He
added that the features of
Komatsu graders with precise
excavator style hydraulics,
dual mode transmission
and the latest grade control
system combined to make an
experienced operator even more
efficient.
The GD675-6 features a
Stage IV-compliant Komatsu

SAA6D107E-3 engine, with
163kW net power. Selective
Catalyst Reduction (SCR) and
AdBlue diesel exhaust fuel has
been chosen to reduce NOx
(nitrous oxide) emissions.
Komatsu Stage IV engines use
an electronic control system
to manage airflow rate, fuel
injection and combustion
parameters. Aftertreatment
functions are designed
to optimise performance,
reduce emissions and provide
advanced diagnostic capability.
The company said that fuel
consumption was reduced with
no loss of performance.
For precise temperature and
air management control, and for
longer component life, Komatsu

also uses a Komatsu Variable
Geometry Turbocharger (KVGT)
and an exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) valve a system that was
entirely developed by Komatsu,
including the control software
for effective aftertreatment.
The GD675-6 is supported by
Komatsu CARE, a complimentary
maintenance programme
for Komatsu customers that
comes standard with most
new Komatsu EU Stage IV
construction machines.
For the first three years or
2,000 hours, it covers factoryscheduled maintenance,
performed by Komatsu-trained
technicians with Komatsu
Genuine parts.

Mobile application
from Caterpillar
Caterpillar is introducing Cat
Inspect, a mobile application
that allows users to download
machine-specific inspection
forms and capture information
during walkarounds.
They include Technical Analysis
(TA1) inspection forms and
Preventive Maintenance (PM)
checklists. The checklists are
serial-number specific, which
gives users guidance that is
specific to the Cat equipment.
Users can add ratings,
make comments and take
pictures during the inspection.
Subsequent inspection reports
list items requiring attention,
from immediate to normal. If
56
users are inspecting machines

with optional equipment not
listed on their checklists, they
can document that equipment
and add the information to the
form.
Besides eliminating the need
for paper, Cat Inspect allows
typed or dictated notes, off-line
inspections, forwarding to the
Cat dealer, and PDF distribution.
Cat said that important alerts
could also be sent to its
fleet management interface
VisionLink.
Cat added that its dealers
and technicians had tested,
improved and used Cat Inspect
over the past year.
The GD675-6 dual mode

transmission and the latest
grade control system
Cat Inspect is available at no
charge for Android devices
through Google Play, for Apple
iPhones and iPads through the
App Store on iTunes, and for
Windows 8.1 tablets through
the Windows Store.
ce
Gensets
for rental
New compact, transportoptimised 20, 40 and 60kVA
generator sets have been
added to Cummins Power
Generations rental product
range.
The company said that
alongside a selection of
standard rental industry
features, these new units
also boast sound attenuated
enclosures and long
autonomy fuel tanks.
Operating in prime power
mode at 75% load, they are
said to offer noise levels as
low as 62dB(A) at 7m and fuel
autonomy of up to 32 hours.
Cummins Power Generation
said it was targeting these
new generator sets at the
specific needs of rental fleet
operators with customers in
demanding sectors including
construction, events,
telecoms and manufacturing.
Control options including
Cummins PowerCommand,
DeepSea and ComAp, aim to
help operators achieve fleet
consistency and keep training
costs down.
Robust construction and
heavy-duty components are
said to minimise total cost of
ownership, with an overall
result of rental units that
deliver optimum reliability
in the field, with excellent
uptime and service intervals
of up to 500 hours.

Single drum
Bomag launches
B
l
h new roller
ll
omag introduced its

new single drum roller
range in the 11 to 26
tonnes weight class during the
companys recent Innovation Day
events.
Accordign to Jonathan
Stringham, vice president,
marketing, the new single drum
rollers are the flagship of the
Bomag range.
The 12 tonne category is a
new addition to the earthworks
portfolio in this product
segment. The new generation
of single drum rollers is
said to feature impressive
efficiency, eco-friendliness and
straightforward operation and
all models meet the Tier IV
emissions standard.
Bomag said that the Ecomode
function had been shown to
reduce fuel consumption by
up to 30% while delivering the
same compaction performance.
The optional Ecostop function
saves on fuel, and is also said to
reduce engine wear.
The company said that these
intelligent fuel-saving features
paid for themselves with lower
operating costs. In addition, they
increase potential resale values,
because these rollers are in use
for fewer actual operating hours,
it said.
58
The latest generation of

engines are said to have cut
pollutant emissions thanks to a
highly-efficient engine design
giving lower fuel consumption,
plus an optimised exhaust aftertreatment.
The BW 213, 219 and 226
models feature Variocontrol
(BVC), the Bomag compaction
system with automatic
compaction control. A new
operating concept is designed
to make it easier for the operator
to make full use of Variocontrol.
Just one rotary switch integrated
into the arm of the seat is
needed for all settings.
In manual mode, the
operator chooses the required
amplitude. In automatic mode,
he can specify EVIB values and
Variocontrol takes over control
of the amplitude.
Thanks to icons on the
control panel, the operator
can see immediately whether
he is in manual or automatic
compaction mode, and Bomag
said a clear indication of when
maximum compaction had been
reached was provided.
Variocontrol is designed
to ensure automatically that
energy is constantly transmitted
at the optimum level and that
the operator has his work fully
under control. TThis prevents

over-compaction and minimises
the number of passes required,
which in turn increases
productivity and the quality of
compaction performance.
Bomag engineers have
concentrated, in particular, on
ease of operation and working
ergonomics. The dashboard
features a clearer and more
user-friendly design. The
compact steering wheel and the
steering column with individual
adjustment are said to provide a
perfect view of the drum.
The company said the
operators cab was generously
proportioned with large
windows, meaning that the
operator always sees what is
going on around the machine.
A new loading function on the
speed switch is said to make

loading of the roller even safer
and easier.
Bomag said a special highlight
of the high gradeability DN
versions was their pump system,
which incorporated two pumps
supplying two engines. This is
said to make the machines far
more stable in operation on
steep slopes. Gradeability of
over 60% is constantly attainable
when moving forwards and
backwards.
When it came to servicing the
machines, Bomag claimed long
servicing intervals, excellent
access to maintenance points,
and many maintenance-free
components. It added that this
ensured high availability of the
machine while at the same time
keeping the costs down.
