INTERMAT
28
Paris launches
the most economic operating range.
The operator senses the resistance and
reduces pressure on the accelerator
to continue within this range. If
full engine speed is needed, the
push-back mechanism can be
overridden.
TerexTrucks
, thearticulateddump
truck (ADT) and rigid dump truck
(RDT) brand that is now owned by Volvo, will be exhibiting
on its own standnext to its new parent company at the show.
It will present the 28 tonne payload TA300 and 38 tonne
payloadTA400 ADTs – both of which are Stage IV compliant
– together with its 55 tonne capacityTR60 RDT, which is said
to be a popular model in the Europe, Middle East and Africa
region.
Komatsu
will introduce the third generation of its hybrid
excavators at Intermat, in the form of the 22.6 tonne
HB215LC-2. It features a Stage IIIB engine andupdatedhybrid
technology, which Komatsu says translates into better fuel
economy, particularly when using the excavator with hydraulic
attachments.
In a different technology area, Komatsu will use the show to
introduce its new PC210LCi-10 intelligent machine control
excavator, which is designed to improve efficiency bypreventing
the operator from digging too deep or damaging the target
surface.
Operatingweights range from22.6 to23.5 tonnes, depending
on the configuration, and other specifications are identical to
those for the standardPC210LC-10.
More traditional newmodels on show will include the Stage
IV-compliant 24 tonne class PC240LC-11 tracked excavator,
which the company says offers 6% better fuel efficiency than
the previousmodel.
Further down the weight classes is the new 8.5 tonne
class PC88MR-10 tight tail swing
crawler excavator, which Komatsu
says offers improved efficiency, lower
fuel consumption, improved operator
comfort and enhanced serviceability.
It offers a maximum digging depth of
4.6 m and a maximum reach of 7.1 m.

A swing boom allows the PC88MR-10 to
work in confined spaces so the operator
can focus on the work in front of the
machine and worry less about rear swing
impact in confined areas.
New in Komatsu’s dozer range at intermat is the D65-18,
which is available in three undercarriage variants – standard
(EX), low ground pressure (PX) and wide (WX). The unit
weighs in at 20.5 to 24.9 tonnes depending on configuration,
and is powered by a Stage IV 162 kWKomatsu engine.
The new transmission features a lock-up torque converter,
which the company says can reduce fuel consumptionby -10%,
and this can be set to either automatic ormanualmode.
Further up the weight range is the new 264 kW Stage IV-
engined D155AX-8 dozer, which weights 38 to 43 tonnes,
depending on configuration. Again, the sigmadozer blade is
standard for up to 15% more production over conventional
blades, and the transmission also features the fuel-saving lock-
up torque converter.
Launched last year in theUS, but new toEurope, isKomatsu’s
HM300-5 articulated dump truck (ADT), which offers a 28
tonne payload and is powered by a 242 kW engine.
Finally, Komatsu will present a new
wheeled loader in the shape of the Stage
IIIB-compliant 115 kW WA270-7.
The 13.5 tonne machine features more
engine power, lower fuel consumption,
improved operator comfort, and easier
serviceability than its predecessor,
according toKomatsu.
Kobleco’s
