CM Labs Simulations Simulator Training Packs
CM Labs Simulations, developer of Vortex training simulators, has issued a new software release for its construction simulator training packs. This new release is designed to boost trainee engagement by featuring heightened visuals, greater training immersion and increased learning retention. The result is faster, more efficient operator skills development, according to the company. The new graphics provide a level of depth and realism that, in conjunction with CM Labs’ machine simulation, further reduces the gap between classroom training and the worksite. The new release can be experienced across CM Labs’ fleet of construction and forestry training packs. The lifting simulations include the luffing tower crane, flat-top tower crane, crawler crane, rough terrain crane, boom truck and forklift. The earthmoving simulations consist of the excavator, dozer, wheel loader, backhoe and motor grader. https://rnt.news/t8dx45

The 4- to 10-inch sizes feature two-bolt, stab-fit construction. All couplings from this HyMax Pro line conform to AWWA C219, NSF 61 and NSF 372 standards for drinking water system components. The 304SS stainless-steel fusionbonded epoxy coated hardware and EPDM gasket are built into the standard product specifications of this line without additional cost. This provides corrosion resistance and affordability for all water utilities. https://rnt.news/ysm29y
LGMG H-Series High Capacity Booms
LGMG H-series boom lifts are diesel engine powered with four models: T65J-H, T72J-H, T85J-H and T92J-H. These models have working heights ranging from 72 to 98 feet, 661/992-pound dual capacities and large working platforms with triple entry. The new models enrich the LGMG boom lift lines so they can meet the working condition needs of customers in the boom lift market. All H-series products are four-wheel drive, rough terrain ready with full-time floating axle oscillation, which ensures the machine’s safety. They have a max 5-degree tilt angle of the chassis and 45 percent gradeability that allows the wheels to traverse hard, uneven ground in rough working conditions. Proportional lift and drive controls of the H-series deliver smoother operation, precise positioning and comfortable operation. They are equipped with automatic engine speed control, and the boom descends by its own weight, which helps to achieve smooth movement. Adjustment of the engine speed according to functional needs is also possible. https://rnt.news/2xszwj
Honda EU3200i Generator
The Honda EU3200i delivers more power than the Honda EU3000i Handi generator and in a portable package designed for smaller jobs and backup power. The EU3200i offers a range of features such as two-step starting, remote smartphone control, fuel efficiency, extended run times and a portable design. The Honda EU3200i provides 3,200 watts of power, a full 200 more watts than a Honda EU3000i Handi generator, and in a smaller package. Further, users can double the available power by using an optional parallel kit linking a second EU3200i, boosting the total power to 6,400 watts with less space and weight than a single, high wattage generator. At 22.5 inches by 12.0 inches by 17.8 inches, the EU3200i has the smallest footprint of any model in the Honda 3000-watt generator class. The generator also has integrated upper and lower handles at a weight of 59.1 pounds. A no-choke design requires only a flip of a switch and a pull on the recoil rope to power the unit on, and the user can monitor operations through a smartphone or the control panel. https://rnt.news/rwc6jc
Ditch Witch MT164
Ditch Witch’s MT164 microtrencher attachment is designed for trenching operations and cable installations. The attachment is designed for fiber-optic contractors and facilitating the creation of a clean, narrow trench in one pass. Equipped with a standard hydraulic plunge and option to offset the frame, the MT164 provides variable depth control and gives contractors the ability to cut right up next to a curb. The MT164 can trench up to 2 inches wide by 16 inches deep, allowing crews to cut deep enough to get through a standard-sized curb. It can also be set up for a push or pull application depending on the jobsite. The microtrencher’s compact footprint ensures application in surrounding infrastructure in urban areas. Additionally, contractors can cross cut roads, trenching from curb to curb. The MT164 is part of a complete microtrenching system that includes a construction-grade lineup of the Ditch Witch SK3000 stand-on skid-steer and the Ditch Witch HX75 vacuum excavator.
Lincoln Electric Frontier 400X Pipe
The Frontier 400X features the latest operator-focused technology, such as the CrossLinc technology for at-the-arc welding control while reducing cable clutter on the jobsite, along with autostop and start technology to minimize idling and engine wear while helping save on fuel. https://rnt.news/zsqnhv

Mecalac 106MRail
Mecalac’s tracked 106MRail drives on and off rails by lowering or raising the integrated rail gear. It is designed for working in light to medium applications, as well as tunnels and confined spaces for urban railways, subways and tramways. The 10-ton 106MRail is a tracked model based on Mecalac’s MCR crawler skid excavator concept and serves a variety of service and maintenance tasks, such as fine grading, working with ballast and ditch cleaning. With a 75-hp engine, it can travel up to 6.2 mph on the ground and 14.3 mph on rails. The machine’s articulated two-piece boom with offset provides operating support. Operators who are working in confined areas like tunnels, for example, can position tools in various positions. At the same time, operators can work on tasks alongside the tracks, such as clearing vegetation and cleaning ditches, while positioned on the tracks. Using a wide, high-capacity skid bucket, the machine can scoop up ballast and rotate to load it into a railcar located on a parallel track. It can also unload ballast from a parallel railcar and rotate to deposit and spread it on the track. When compactness is required, the boom can be tucked in against the machine. The model can also support larger equipment thanks to its lifting capacity. When the machine is on the rails, for example, it can reach 7 feet from the center of the machine and lift up to 6,000 pounds with the arm at 90 degrees. Rather than using two large machines, the 106MRail can help a larger machine lift small rail panels, carry sleepers or move equipment or materials to where they are needed. To save on fuel, the 106MRail has an engine with automatic low idle. After a preset amount of time, the engine will switch to low idle when not in use. https://rnt.news/952fd6
Bobcat TL723 and TL923
The TL723 and TL923 telehandlers from Bobcat are designed for a variety of demanding tasks requiring precision and performance. These newest models, in addition to the TL619 launched in 2021, round out the R-Series telehandler lineup. The telehandlers have redesigned comfort cabs, turbo-charged Tier 4 engines and accessible service points. The TL923 hydraulic system offers fast boom speeds and heavy lifting, providing operators with consistent handling and control when loaded, and fast boom cycle times when empty. The patented hydraulic lift system provides high-flow technology to optimize lift capabilities. Both the TL723 at 100 HP and the TL923 at 135 HP come equipped with a Bobcat Tier 4, turbo-charged engine, which has cold weather starting and a variety of features for maintenance and service. The units are also equipped with automatic ride control, which reduces materials pillage. The low-profile boom sits below operator eye level to provide an open view of the surroundings. The redesigned engine basket sits lower for increased line of sight. Front, top and rear window wipers help keep windows free of debris and precipitation. Multiple mirrors on the operator’s left and right provide added visibility when working in confined areas. An optional rear mirror kit, rearview camera kit and boom work light kit also are available. The TL723 and TL923 both have a wraparound rearview window that gives operators a clear view of the side and rear of the machine. Bobcat R-Series telehandlers are built with a box-welded frame for rigidity, plus a low center of gravity for stability. The shielded bottom plate protects components, and the engine, cooling system and critical components are protected within the center of the chassis.
