Terex Roadbuilding

According to Terex Roadbuilding, the Bid-Well4800 automatic roller paver, featuring a newly designed truss system, is the first paver on the market to reach paving widths of 200 feet or more. When paving beyond 150 feet, the new paver’s frame is constructed with ultra-high-strength steel that is nearly 120 percent stronger than the conventional steel typically used in Bid-Well pavers. But comparatively, says the company, the high-strength steel weighs slightly less than conventional steel. The proprietary steel allows configuring the paver in a variety of widths exceeding 200 feet. The truss frame transitions from a 48-inch depth at the legs to a 66-inch depth in the center. The new machine features Bid-Well’s Rota-Vibesystem, which delivers up to 5,000 vpm over the vibrating rollers’ length to reconsolidate the top 2.0 inches of concrete. When paving super elevations in excess of 10 percent, the 4800 can be fitted with a pivot-leg option that allows the machine’s legs to be pivoted to a true vertical position, thus reducing pressure on the rails and side forms.

Volvo

Volvo Construction Equipment promises that the L220F Hybrid wheel loader will offer 10 percent fuel savings as well as performance and environmental gains when deliveries begin late in 2009. Volvo unveiled a pre-production prototype hybrid at Conexpo-Con/Agg. The heart of the parallel-hybrid system is an ISG, Integrated Starter Generator, fitted between the Volvo D12 engine and transmission. The ISG allows the diesel engine to be turned off when stationary and then almost instantly restarted by rapidly spinning the engine up to optimum working speed using a burst of energy from the high power battery. The ISG can also deliver a massive electric torque boost – up to 700 Nm and 50 kW of instant mechanical energy – to overcome the diesel’s low torque at low engine speeds.

John Deere

John Deere’s brand new 764 High-Speed Dozer (HSD) is an articulated, rubber-tracked dozer that combines the speed of a grader with the flotation of a crawler dozer. It will grade and push moderate dozing loads at about double the speed of a similarly sized crawler. Deere says it will bluetop to 1/8-inch at up to 6 miles per hour, and travel at 18 miles per hour. The 764 HSD weighs in at 32,000 pounds and is powered by a Deere PowerTech 6.8-liter engine rated at 200 horsepower.
