technology from the manufacturer’s Italian subsidiary Cifa in its
frame that is said to reduce vibration during travel.
In addition, the company said it would have two excavators
on its stand, equipped with high-power Cummins engines and
high-flow hydraulic systems. It said GPS technology had also
been added to allow performance to be constantly monitored.
Other products on display will be a re-designed and improved
V series rotary drill. Zoomlion said technology including engine
cold start protection and an improved high-speed spin-off
function had been added, aimed at prolonging the life of the rig
and improving its efficiency.
Another new machine on the Zoomlion stand will be the VK
Series crusher andmill, for manufacturing
sand from hard materials such as basalt
and granite. Zoomlion claimed the
machine could achieve particle shapes
that were superior to that of an impact
crusher.
Shantui, meanwhile, plans to launch
three new machines at the show. These
are the 10 m
3
blade size SD32PLUS
bulldozer, the 3 m
3
bucket capacity
SL50WN wheeled loader and the GT55
truck-mounted crane.
It said the SD32PLUS would be its
centrepiece – part of a new line of PLUS
dozers that it started rolling out this year.
It said it was its most technologically
advanced dozer yet, featuring an
upgraded operator interface, a new
235 kW Cummins engine, and a more robust hydraulics system
as well as electronic fault monitoring and diagnosis.
Meanwhile, the SL50WN wheeled loader a natural gas-
powered machine, equipped with load-sensing hydraulics. And
the GT-55 is one of the first machines produced by the Shantui-
Manitowoc joint venture that was formed in January. It is a Tier
III-compliant machine with a maximum lift height of 41 m.
Other machines on display on Shantui’s stand will include its
SR14D-3 tandem electric vibratory roller, HJC5410THB-56
truck-mounted concrete pump and HZN40B concrete batching
plant, which has a 40 m
3
/hour output.
Access equipment
From the access sector, Sinoboom will also be showcasing its
latest new products at BICES, including the GTSZ30 spider
lift. The machine can reach up to 30 m and boasts a wireless
remote control device that works up to 100 m away.
Other on-board technology includes an outrigger auto-
levelling system and a gradual control system with proportional
joystick. In addition, Sinoboom said it had installed several
emergency safety systems and a multiple interlocking protection
system to ensure the safety of operators.
Mantall will also be launching new access equipment in the
form of its re-designed W-Series scissor lift. The machine’s
chassis has been redesigned so that it is now hollow, and a
counter weight has been added to maintain stability. Mantall
said the change reduced the overall weight of the machine.
In addition, the XDW180 self-propelled scissor lift will be
on display. It has an 18 m working height features a wide areal
work platform, four wheel drive and a diagnostics system to help
pinpoint any maintenance issues. Other on-board technology
includes a tilt level sensor and proportional controls. The
XD140 RT, meanwhile, is a rough terrain model with a working
height of 14 m. This machine also boasts a tilt level sensor and
proportional controls.
Mantall will also have its HZ160D self-propelled articulated
boom on show, featuring auto-levelling technology. It is also
well-suited to rough terrain, and has a maximum gradeability
of 45%.
Dingli, meanwhile, plans to launch a new self-propelled fork
lift at the show, a model with a 5.5 m working height that has
been designed for work in depots. It boasts a 500 kg capacity
and an overall width of 860 mm. In addition, a self-propelled
mast lift will also be on the stand, boasting a 10 m working
height and an overall width of 760 mm – compact dimensions
that Dingli said made the machine well-suited for operation in
narrow areas.
