Terex Construction

The new TL210 compact wheel loader is designed with a spacious operating cab, a heavy-duty chassis, the Terex cooling system with reversible fan, Tier-3 engine compliance and modified tool carrier linkage. For the first time in the Terex mid-sized wheel loader range, the power transmission in the hydrostatic drive unit of the TL210 is carried out via a hydrotransmatic transmission with two regulating motors and a pump. In the entire speed range between 0 and 25 mph, the traction force and speed are optimized automatically and without interruption.

According to Rick Opitz, who works for the city of Baltimore, which owns three TL210 machines, the TL210 is both reliable and durable. “Our crews appreciate the set-up of the controls and how simple the machine is to use,” Opitz said.

Toro

Toro introduces two new walk-behind trenchers — the TRX-15 and TRX-19 tracked trenchers, which feature operator-friendly controls and trench up to 36 inches. The low-profile tracked design provides a low center of gravity and a large footprint for increased stability on side hills and smooth operation on uneven terrain. Both the 15-hp and the 19-hp TRX models feature 4-cycle, V-twin engines. A large oil reservoir helps maintain low engine temperature and prolongs engine life, and a large, dual-element KAI air cleaner improves air flow, performance and reduces engine wear.

Mustang

The new Model MTL312 compact track loader from Mustang is the most compact of the Mustang track loader lineup. The unit has a dedicated track design, meaning the unit is built as a track loader with a heavy-duty undercarriage system versus being built as a skid-steer loader with a bolt-on undercarriage. The MTL312 has an operating weight of 5,952 pounds and a width of slightly less than 58 inches.

Volvo Construction Equipment

The Volvo EC35C compact excavator features a conventional excavator design for exceptional stability with minimal superstructure swing. The ECR48C has a short-radius superstructure that turns inside the width of its tracks. It can also be equipped with an optional counterweight to maximize use of longer arms or heavy attachments. Both machines are powered by new-generation Volvo diesel engines. Simultaneous control of swing and boom offset movement enables faster, precise performance. Blade float allows for quick and easy backfilling, leveling and finish work. The joystick control lever is equipped with an electronically proportional roller, allowing the operator to accurately adjust hydraulic flow as needed to the attachments.

Komatsu America Corp.

The PC09-1 compact hydraulic excavator offers a foldable canopy and expandable undercarriage that is able to retract to pass through doorways. When expanded, the undercarriage provides additional stability when excavating. Its triple-flanged bottom track rollers aid in machine stability when traveling or excavating by maintaining at least two points of contact between the track lug and roller. The PC09-1 has an operating weight of 1,985 pounds and a dig depth of 5 feet, 6 inches when equipped with the long arm. An optional 75-foot-pound breaker arm allows operators to break through concrete without removing the bucket.

Yanmar

The new V-Series compact wheel loaders — models V3-6 and V4-6 — are designed with a reduced overall height to make them more compatible with enclosed carrier loading and unloading operations. This lower profile also improves the machine's center of gravity, promoting greater stability in the process. The V3-6 and V4-6 standard canopy versions weigh in at 6,801 and 8,058 pounds respectively. A climate-controlled cab option is also available for each model with corresponding weights of 7,154 and 8,411 pounds.

An auto-reversing fan uses a pneumatic pump to periodically change the pitch of the fan blades, reversing air flow, and requiring less downtime for cleaning away debris and extending the time between radiator cleanings. Also standard is a screened engine pre-cleaner and heavy-duty skid-plates, which are hinged to allow access for cleaning out debris and other routine machine maintenance.
