PORTABLE MACHINE CONTROL
Topcon
Portable machine control for compact equipment
Topcon Positioning Group’s all-new MC-Mobile portable machine control solution for compact equipment is based on the Topcon MC-X machine control platform. MC-Mobile offers the user experience and competitive performance benefits of full-size machine control guidance solutions for compact excavators, skid steers, and compact track loaders.
MC-Mobile provides users with design, build and check functionalities and a feature-rich Topcon software experience. Operators can utilize modular components for a wide range of applications, including grade checking, creating designs on the fly, and self-performing site layouts without traditional staking.
Displays and other components are designed to be easily shared across numerous machines in owned or rental fleet environments. These pieces can also be moved from grade checking/layout rover pole to machine and back.
COMPACT WHEEL LOADER
Yanmar
Compact wheel loaders
Yanmar compact wheel loaders are built for maximum efficiency and ease of operation. The machines include comfort features across the line, including a spacious cab and dual doors for easy entry from each side. The company says that their combination of power, comfort, and compactness make them ideal for applications that require fast travel speeds, high lift capacity, and a small turning radius. The lineup includes the V4-7, V8, V10, and V12.
Operating weights for the line range from 8,422 to 15,432 pounds. The loaders feature bucket capacities ranging from 0.65 to 2.35 cubic yards and lift capacities of 7,451 to 15,962 pound-force. Fast travel speeds improve job site productivity, with speeds ranging from 11.8 to 22 mph.
CRAWLER EXCAVATOR
Doosan
Crawler excavator
The new 14-metric-ton, reduced-tail-swing Doosan DX140LCR-7 crawler excavator comes with enhanced swing performance, increased fuel efficiency, and more operator comfort features than the previous model. An optional 360-degree camera is available.
Updated maintenance features include an electric transfer pump, centralized filters and a new fuel filler pump hose. For operator comfort, there is a Doosan Smart Key and remote door lock/unlock, improved airflow for more robust heating and air conditioning, and newly designed pedals for easier operation. The Smart Power Control feature optimizes fuel efficiency and provides the proper engine rpm and torque to match the application.
The DX140LCR-7 features: 115-hp engine, 35,424-pound operating weight, 19 feet 8 inches maximum digging depth, 28-foot maximum digging reach (ground), 23 feet 3 inches maximum loading height.
TRENCH ROLLER Wacker Neuson
Trench roller
The RTLx-SC3 trench roller has received design improvements to the maintenance-free lower end. The lower end design is fully sealed and maintenance free, including lifetime lubricated drive gears and maintenance-free exciter gears and bearing. All the hydraulic hoses have been shortened and are now routed above the articulated joint and through the manifold support drums to avoid wear and improve serviceability.
It is powered by a 19.8 hp Kohler diesel engine and produces a high and low compaction force (15,400/7,700 lbf). The drums can be converted from 32 to 22 inches. Low centre of gravity improves machine stability and the articulated joint increases maneuverability and allows the roller to make tight turns in confined spaces. The RTLx-SC3 (Smart Control 3) is operated with a line-of-sight infrared remote control.
