daily maintenance checks can be carried out from
ground level, andaccess to theenginecompartment
ismade easy thanks to a forward-tiltinghood.
Keymaintenance features also include a hydraulic
drive fan which can be reversed for cleaning, and
water and oil drains that are placed together for
fastermaintenance and service.

Drivetrainsandcomponentswill also featureheavily
at the show. For instance, Dana and its 50/50 joint
ventureDanaRexroth, plannewdrivetrain launches.
For its part, Dana said it would be showcasing
the results of ongoing field tests of its VariGlide
technology, a new transmission design that
incorporates continuously variable planetary (CVP)
technology.
Dana engineers have confirmed performance and
positioning improvements following hundreds of
hours of functional evaluation and dynamometer
testing on a standard-sized 2.2-tonne forklift truck
equipped with VariGlide technology operating in a
typical pick-and-place duty cycle. It reported fuel
economy improvements exceeding 20% in certain
duty cycles.
Developed through a strategic licensing
relationship with Fallbrook Technologies Inc, Dana
said VariGlide technology can replace the torque
converter in some transmission configurations to
decouple engine speed from the vehicle’s travel or
working speed.
It said VariGlide technology would be offered
as a pre-assembled module providing a standard
powersplit configuration for forklift truck
transmissions producedbyOEMs.
Dana said it was also offering its Spicer
PowerBoosthydraulic-hybridsystem for field testing
by off-highway OEMs. It said Spicer Powerboost
hydraulic-hybrid technology was ideally suited for
hydrostatically driven drivetrains, which is why
Danawill feature it at Intermat aspart of acomplete
drivetrain system for a compact telescopic boom
handlerwith 2.7 to 3.6 tonne lifting capacity.
The company saidOEMs could use this technology
to potentially reduce the engine sizes, selecting a
smaller engine that does not require exhaust after
treatment systems that are costly, consume added
space, and increase the operating temperature of
the powertrain system.
New fromDana Rexroth, meanwhile, will be the R2
hydromechanical variable transmission (HVT) – a
product that has gone through final testing, with
full production expected in the thirdquarter.
IRN
Wirtgenwill be showcasing its roadbuilding line-up at
Intermat, including products from its Benninghoven,
Hamm, Vögele, and Kleemann brands
