JCB Superfan Purchases The First JCB 56Z-2 In Northern Ireland

A landfill and quarrying company has bought the first Stage V JCB 56Z-2 models in Northern Ireland.

Supplied by dealer Dennison JCB, the new midi excavator has been purchased by Belfast-based Macwill Services. Owner Chris McLaughlin, a self-confessed JCB superfan who hosts his own YouTube channel – The JCB Club - chose the brand new machine for civil engineering duties and essential environmental projects within Macwill Services’ Belfast landfill site and family farm estate. “We have bought, hired and used many different manufacturers of construction equipment over the years but to me there’s something about JCB which makes them special compared to all the others. I always choose JCB when it comes to buying new machinery as they make fantastically engineered machines and are a company with true British pedigree. Just as important to me is that JCB has a fantastic dealership network that supports my business and treats every phone call as essential. It’s what I call great back up! “As far as the JCB 56Z-2 is concerned we liked the ‘built for purpose’ robust and strong design of the machine. The cab for the operator is so modern and comfortable and the engine access is well thought out for easy service access. All the drivers love the speed and accuracy of the hydraulics and the super bright LED lights let you work safely into the night. We opted for steel tracks this time as opposed to rubber and the extra stability and pushing power that the steel tracks give is very noticeable. We’re very, very pleased with just how much power this JCB digger punches,” said Christopher who has one of the largest collections of JCB memorabilia and collectibles in the world. The new JCB Stage V 56Z-2 is powered by a 1.7-litre, turbocharged three-cylinder common-rail Perkins diesel engine, delivering 34kW (45.6hp). Part of the ‘Dash 2’ range of midi excavators is it equipped with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), there is no requirement for a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) such as AdBlue. Macwill Services was established in 1987 and operates a number of JCB machines within its landfill and quarrying fleet from modern day machines to rare JCB classics. The fleet comprises a JCB Hydradig, JCB Fastrac, JCB Loadall telescopic handler, JCB backhoe loaders, JCB mini excavators and classic machines including a 1985 JCB 805B Turbo crawler excavator and JCB 3DMK111 Powertrain backhoe loader.

A select range of compact equipment was available for direct delivery. The brand new JCB Store offers a wider range of machines, greater insight and added flexibility to provide an even more enhanced customer experience. The machines available to purchase via JCB Store include: JCB’s full mini excavator, site dumper, vibratory tandem roller and JCB Access ranges along with a selection of JCB light equipment. JCB UK and Ireland Sales Director Steve Smith said: “Online ordering of JCB equipment has proved to be extremely popular. The JCB Store marks a significant evolution of the concept with more machines, more options, and more insight available. We have invested heavily in creating a high-quality platform tailored to the needs of an evolving market and a new generation of customers. “It capitalises on the support and expertise of our unrivalled dealer network and gives customers all the information they need in one centralised platform. It will transform the way our customers order JCB machines and makes access to our range of equipment simpler than ever.”

First Merlo Cingo Models Arrive in Ireland

Merlo distributors in Ireland, McHale Plant Sales, has received first deliveries at their Rathcoole centre of the new Cingo, a wholly new addition to the Merlo range which McHale claims is ‘tailor-made for the small contractor and rental market’.

Described by their sales director, Denis McGrath as ‘a hugely innovative range of tracked carriers’, Cingo is designed for small-scale construction, agricultural, landscaping and utilities contractors whose needs can be met by a transportable and versatile trailer-size machine. Four types of machine make up the wide range available, all with rapid coupling devices allow numerous different attachments to be used. With capacities from 400 kg up to 1200 kg, the compact and easy-to-handle Cingo is made for working in tight spaces, along narrow passages and through smaller than normal doorways. Helping is its and its skid-steer and counter-rotational tracks. With easy-to-use hydraulic controls and hydrostatic transmission – and a stepon, stand-on operator platform – the Cingo has a low centre of gravity that ensures maximum stability on slopes, with tracks that apply less ground pressure and provide greater adherence on uneven and irregular terrain. Versatile and hugely functional, the multitasking Cingo is equipped to tackle a myriad of uses that include conventional transporting and loading of materials. Beyond that, excavating, transport, concrete mixing, tipper and self-loading dumper uses in construction; maintenance of green spaces and landscaping functions; road and forestry cleaning and snow clearing; and agricultural and animal care functions are cited amongst its many applications.

HIDROMEK’S FUEL EFFICIENCY AND DEALER SUPPORT WINS OVER ARC QUARRIES

A combination of exceptional fuel efficiency and a high level of dealer support mean the team at ARC Quarries Limited based at Macosquin in County Londonderry have had no regrets in switching to the Hidromek brand.

The quarry operators have two Hidromek 390 LC excavators and a 640 wheeled loader and when we visited the site they were busy feeding a couple of Tesab 800 jaw crushers. “We work the machines maybe up to 12 hours a day,” says ARC Quarries’ co-director Ryan Caldwell, “and so far they haven’t let us down. They have exceeded our expectations, especially on fuel economy.” Adds Ryan: “Our Hidromek 640 loading shovel, for example, operates for long periods each day and uses around 17 litres of fuel an hour, while other brands we have used in the past took 33 litres an hour doing the same work. That represents a significant cost saving to us.” He particularly appreciates the fact that the Hidromeks come with a three year/ 6000 hour warranty which gives him extra peace of mind, and he was full of praise for Maghera based AJ Armstrong, who are Hidromek dealers for Northern Ireland and Donegal. The company was formed in 2005 by Andrew Armstrong mainly offering a servicing and repair service for JCB farm equipment and excavators. Since then the business has grown and developed into selling a range of quality used machines and three years ago took on the sales and servicing of the Turkish built Hidromek brand. AJ Armstrong has its own fleet of five service vans on the road and also has a parts specialist and service manager. “I couldn’t speak too highly of Andrew and his team. The service and support we have had from them is exceptional,” says Ryan. “If we ever need assistance, and it has been a rare occasion, they respond within the hour, which is essential as our operation cannot afford any unnecessary downtime.

“Up until we switched to Hidromeks we ran a couple of different branded excavators and shovels, and we have no regrets.” It was just last year when ARC Quarries invested in a Hidromek 640 loading shovel and a HMK 390LC excavator, and several months ago acquired a second 390, which is one of the biggest in the range at 42 tonnes OPERATORS IMPRESSED

“We were very pleased with how the Hidromek 640 wheel loader was performing, so we had little hesitation in acquiring a 390 excavator, adding a second 390 a couple of months later,” says Ryan. The 390 machines are well built with quality components, are reliable and are very stable at work. Our operators love them. They tell us they are easy to handle, perform very well and have a comfortable cab. “Like we discovered with the 640 loading shovel, we also find the Hidromek 390s are using about 16 to 18 litres per hour while some other excavators we ran were burning 30 litres per hour which again represents a significant saving, especially as fuel costs are continuing to increase.” As Ryan mentioned, the Hidromek 390LC features all top-quality components including an Isuzu engine, Kawasaki hydraulic pumps, Nabtesco Japanese slew motor and final drives. It is a big step up in comparison to the earlier 370LC model in the Hidromek range, featuring as it does much smoother and sharper lines and a brand new upgraded, restyled cab that offers an excellent working environment for the operator. This latest generation model also benefits from a relocated switchboard, remodelled travel pedals and levers, high capacity air-conditioning and high-resolution LED backlight colour LCD display.

Other features enhancing the operator’s comfort is the new versatile and fully adjustable seat designed to enable him to work without stress and fatigue for longer hours. The joystick console and seat can move independently so the operator can easily adjust it to the most suitable position for his body structure. The cab is supported by 6 silicon viscose mounts that dampen the effects of noise, shock and vibrations regardless of working conditions of the machine. There’s plenty of storage space, too, for the operator’s bits and pieces, including a cooled storage room, glass holder and a variety of storage pockets. INNOVATIVE CONTROL SYSTEM

The 390LCHD is fitted with Hidromek’s Opera Control System, an easy to use interface that facilitates communication between the operator and the machine. The operator can easily switch between menus in Opera, change settings, such as hydraulic flow, and check the status of the machine, including pressure, temperature and engine load. The information and warnings on the instrument panel are always easy to see and control, thanks to the positioning of the Opera interface. Other features of the system include automatic powerboost switch-on switch-off, automatic electric power-off and automatic powershift to improve performance. HMK 640 WHEEL LOADER

The heavy duty HMK 640 wheel loader, meanwhile, boasts a 26.3 tons operating weight and a 4.2 m³ bucket capacity, and with its Mercedes engine having 324 hp and 1600 Nm torque, it offers a high loading capacity in a short cycle time. The operator enjoys a panoramic view from the well sound proofed cab, with a rear view camera and heated rearview mirrors. The working environment is further enhanced by the provision of a fully automatic air conditioning system, together with other features including a heated seat with air suspension and which can be adjusted to suit the operator’s preferences. A large, touch sensitive, digital LCD display gives the operator full control over essential machine information, while a dual speaker AM/FM radio with USB input can make the working day even more enjoyable – and access to the cab is made safe and easy thanks to well designed and positioned steps and handles. As with the HMK390s, the wheel loader also features the Opera control system that brings together vital information and functions required during the operation of machine. Meanwhile, a TIPSHIFT function makes it possible to change the direction quickly by pressing a single key without using the gear lever when the machine is moving forward or backward while loading or unloading. This increases productivity and ensures safe operation without the loss of steering control. Not surprisingly, the 640 wheel loader has won international design awards such as Reddot Award, German Design Award, Good Design and Automotive Brand Contest, and like the 390 excavators, it is completely at home at ARC Quarries.

news Engcon Launches Third Generation Tiltrotator

engcon will launch its third product generation in 2022. To meet future demands, the new tiltrotator system is taking progressive steps towards sustainability, applying smart technology to reduce energy consumption and is adapted ready for the electrification of excavators.

The integrated and user-adapted system builds on engcon’s successful concept – an increased profitability with flexibility that provides greater comfort and safety for the end user. The third generation tiltrotator system was presented for the first time at the Norwegian trade fair Vei og Anlegg in May and production will begin in the second half of 2022. The technology is based on a newly developed type of valve in combination with a smart software that collaborates with the excavator’s load-sensing hydraulic system. This optimises both the tiltrotator’s functions and the excavator’s excavator movements, which leads to smoother digging with higher precision. At the same time, the excavator’s wear and need for maintenance also decreases. “Our new tiltrotator system shows that engcon is at the forefront of innovative solutions that drive the development forward to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and thus the climate impact of excavators,” says Stig Engström, founder and owner of engcon and the leader of the company’s product development. With an app, the third generation tiltrotator system also enables a higher degree of individual customisation in the form of improved possibilities for, amongst other things, connected remote diagnostics and mobile support. In addition to the energy-efficient technology, the new series EC-Oil, the automatic quick hitch system can easily and smoothly connect the tiltrotator and hydraulic gear automatically, without the driver having to leave the cab. For full compatibility with today’s modern excavator systems, engcon also builds in a newly developed tilt and rotation sensor as standard in this third generation product. The sensors contain one of the market’s first “absolute” sensors and have a Plug & Play solution for both integrated and third-party machine control systems. “The third generation will be our premium offering where the excavator operator gets the very latest technology as standard, while at the same time they get an energyoptimised excavator that becomes even smoother to drive,” Engström comments.

Successful 2022 European Dealer Conference for Doosan

Under the theme of UNITE 2022, Doosan held the company’s European Dealer Conference in Barcelona recently; the company normally organises these meetings every two years and the last one was held in Lisbon in February 2020.

The event had an audience of 182 attendees, 134 of which were Doosan European dealers from 22 countries. Among the attendees were members of the Hyundai Doosan Infracore executive team from Korea, as well as managers from various areas of the company. Seunghyun Oh, CEO of Hyundai Doosan Infracore, opened the day with a keynote speech about Hyundai Doosan Infracore globally. He spoke about the company’s achievements, product portfolio, proven product quality, opportunities and new technologies for the future. He also described the global market outlook and the strategic direction of the company. He confirmed the record market share in Doosan’s markets including wheel loaders and crawler excavators, with record sales in 2021and reminded the audience of the great development capacity at Doosan, with the launch of 20 new machines last year and the multiple international awards won by various Doosan models.

Dealer Awards

Some of the dealers attending made presentations about their trajectory and growth, sharing their experiences with the rest of the audience. This was followed by a panel discussion, break-out working sessions, a gala dinner and team-building entertainment activities. Under the UNITE 2022 theme, the presentations at the Doosan conference showed the participants that they were all united by their passion for construction equipment, the Doosan brand, the best product - innovative and competitive, and that they also shared the success and recognition of customer satisfaction with the brand and service, which together resulted in ever stronger and more united dealers. The conference also emphasised the company’s slogan, ‘Powered by Innovation‘, defining innovation as one of the pillars of the company, including its vision as a world leader in infrastructure solutions. The event also confirmed health, safety and the environment as the number one management priority. On a final note, in lieu of corporate gifts for attendees, Doosan decided instead to make a donation to Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF), the international medical humanitarian organisation. As we all know one country where the help of MSF is much needed now is Ukraine and teams from the organisation are working hard to deliver emergency medical aid to people still in Ukraine, as well as those now seeking safety in neighbouring countries

Metso Outotec develops new electric Lokotrack range

In response to the growing demand for sustainable solutions, Metso Outotec is conducting a programme to develop a new, complete range of electrically driven track-mounted crushers and screens.

The new Lokotrack range will be built on a unique platform that Metso Outotec has been developing since 2020 with a total R&D investment of €20 million. The development work will take place primarily at Metso Outotec’s technology center in Tampere, Finland. The platform concept has now been developed, and Metso Outotec is currently entering the design phase of the first new products. The new Lokotrack range will be transformational for the whole aggregates industry of mobile crushing and screening. This will also significantly contribute to Metso Outotec’s Planet Positive strategy and its commitment to reach the 1.5 C climate target. “The next generation Lokotrack range will address the needs of our crushing and screening customers by providing new easy-to-use diesel-electric equipment,” comments Renaud Lapointe, Senior Vice President at Metso Outotec’s Aggregates business area. “The possibility to run track-mounted machines from an integrated genset or to connect to an external power source lowers operational costs and allows access to renewable energy for our customers,” he continues. The new unique platform will enable a faster and more agile way to develop products and reduce the number of components. “Using one common architecture throughout the range allows scalable solutions that can be seamlessly combined and adapted for different applications and capacities. Harmonised design together with advanced digital solutions enables our global service network to support the customers throughout the entire equipment lifecycle,” says Jarmo Vuorenpää, Director, New Lokotrack Offering, Aggregates business area at Metso Outotec. The concept of track-mounted crushers and screens was developed in Finland in 1985 to minimise the cost and energy use. Lokotrack has made it possible to provide on-site mobility close to the processed raw materials lowering transport and hauling costs and emissions. During the last 35 years the concept has grown significantly with thousands of units manufactured and sold globally every year.
