Ingersoll Rand


Ingersoll Rand
Ingersoll Rand MVS-6 Mobile Security System from Doosan Infracore Portable Power is designed to allow remote monitoring of jobsites or other outdoor areas at substantially less cost than employing security manpower. The MVS-6 (Mobile Video Surveillance) monitors and records images in various environments, such as construction sites and equipment yards. The MVS-6 uses a self-contained power unit, which employs a standard hybrid power system of solar and diesel technology to ensure six months of uninterrupted remote operation. The MVS-6 can be remotely operated, using software that connects the user to the system’s day/night imaging camera and a 40GB DVR via a wireless connection. The operator can remotely control the pan, tilt and zoom functions of the camera, while also accessing the DVR to review recorded images. An installed motion detector initiates camera operation when movement is detected. The wireless communication system allows for easy networking of multiple MVS-6 units to secure a large area.

Terex Roadbuilding


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
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.
