Show guide
will display a telescopic leader rig, the RG 19 T with its updated
BS 65 RS base carrier, while Klemm will exhibit two multi-
purpose anchor drills, the KR 806-3F and compact KR 707-2
with external power pack.
Bauer-Pileco, the American subsidiary of Bauer, will also
present new pile driving technology in the form of the D
62-22 diesel impact hammer. Mat
Mischanlagentechnik (which specialises
in slurry mixing, materials handling and
mechanical separation technology), will
show its SCC 40 compact slurry mixing
plant.
Road building
Plenty of new launches are also planned
for the road building sector. Guntert &
Zimmerman, for instance, will showcase
its updated TC1500 texture cure
machine, together with its S600 multi-
purpose concrete slipform paver and
TeleEnd telescopic end section.
The manufacturer will also be
demonstrating its EGON IntelliMatics
system – remote monitoring technology that keeps an eye on
engine functions to catch small issues before they become major
problems. It said this technology had now been expanded to all
aspects of machine operation, including hydraulic and electrical
functions.
GOMACO, meanwhile, will introduce a new slipform paver
in the shape of the Commander III – a three-track machine
that will be available to contractors this autumn. The Tier
4-compliant slipformer features the manufacturer’s G+ control
system and a new operator’s platform with a pivoting control
console.
The Commander III will also be available
with an optional on-board camera as a new
safety device to survey designated areas of
the slipforming process. The company said
the camera could be positioned anywhere
around the paver and feeds live to the G+
display on the console.
In addition, the manufacturer will
have a PS-2600 placer/spreader on show,
together with a four-track GHP-2800 slipform
paver, a C-450 bridge deck finisher and a new
T/C-5600 texture/cure machine. The newest
updates for the company’s GSI smoothness
indicator technology will also be displayed.
Ammann will also be displaying its newest
compaction and paving equipment focused on the North
American and Latin American markets, including its asphalt
mixing technology. Two new trailer-mounted plant ranges will
be on show – the EasyBatch 140 for
batch asphalt production and the Prime
140 for continuous production.
In addition, Ammann will have
compaction machines and asphalt pavers
on its stand, powered by Tier 4 engines.
Beside the range of heavy ride-on compaction, a compact finisher
and the recently launched ARX line of light tandem rollers
will also be presented on Ammann’s booth, together with new
compaction measuring technology in the form of the Ammann
Compaction Expert.
Meanwhile, Asphalt Drum Mixers (ADM) will use ConExpo
to introduce its EX Series asphalt plants with single-drum
counterflow technology. It said these plants offer high efficiency
and a compact design for contractors with low to medium
production needs – they produce between 91 to 386 tonnes per
hour.
In addition to the EX Series, ADM also offers its MileMaker,
RoadBuilder and SPL Series. It said each of its plants can be
custom designed to meet the requirements of individual
sites.
New from Moba is the PAVE-IR scan system
monitoring and documenting temperatures
during asphalt paving. This allows
contractors to optimise their processes and
verify the quality of the paving process, and
the scanner is effective for paving widths up
to 8 m.
The temperature profile is displayed
in real-time to the operator, allowing
them to react to any problems. All
information is saved for documentation
and can be used as quality proof.
Cranes & lifting
New from Tadano Mantis at ConExpo is the 130 ton (118
tonne) capacity GTC-1200 telescopic crawler crane. It will
be the largest capacity crane in the Tadano Mantis range and
“represents the first blank sheet design since Mantis was acquired
by Tadano in 2008,” according to Ed Hisrich, vice president,
sales and customer support.
The five-section, 155 ft (47.2 m) boom was designed to
Asphalt Drum Mixers (ADM) will use ConExpo to

technology, including its S600 multi-
purpose concrete slipform paver.
