Electrifying! Wacker Neuson and Kramer at Bauma 2019

At Bauma 2019, international construction equipment manufacturer Wacker Neuson Group will be taking visitors on an electrifying tour of its vast product portfolio. The zero emission range will be one of the main attractions at the Wacker Neuson and Kramer stand. “Bauma is and always has been the most important platform for us to engage in depth with current and prospective customers in a professional setting, inspire them with our products and showcase our impressive machines in action,” explains Martin Lehner, CEO of the Wacker Neuson Group. “Every three years, the entire international construction equipment industry comes together in Munich – it is the place to be. All I can say at this stage is that visitors to our stand can look forward to the usual impressive and captivating experience. Even for me personally, Bauma is the highlight of the year.” New, larger site This year, the Wacker Neuson Group will be located at a new stand – FN.915 – with an impressive 6,000 square meters or so of space. This means that the Group will have the largest stand for construction equipment in the northern open-air area of the site. The stand is designed as an electrifying world of discovery and is already expected to be a major crowd-puller. Visitors will be able to see new machines on display and also experience equipment live in action on a large demo area. With passion and skill, demo drivers will be demonstrating their enthusiasm for everyday construction site challenges. And if that’s not enough, viewers will also have a chance to test their own skills at the interactive, actionpacked test zones. Complementing these hands-on discovery zones, numerous digital stations will be offering engaging virtual experiences. The growing zero emission product family The entire zero emission portfolio, including the latest additions to the family, will be taking center stage at Wacker Neuson and Kramer’s electrifying stand. A “zero emission boulevard” runs through the entire stand and features a host of different interactive stations. Visitors will be able to experience the broad portfolio of battery-powered rammers and vibratory plates as well as electric wheel loaders, electric dumpers and electric mini excavators. The AS60e battery-powered rammer and the AP2560e battery-powered vibratory plate are the latest additions to the range. Both machines are equipped with Wacker Neuson’s proven battery. A total of six products can now be powered by this interchangeable battery, making the equipment even more cost-effective for customers. Other new products in the zero emission portfolio include the fully electric EZ17e zero tail mini excavator and the DW15e electric wheel dumper. “Emissions are set to become an increasingly problematic issue, especially in urban areas. With our zero emission solutions, our customers will definitely be on the safe side. In meeting emission mitigation needs, we also make sure that we only launch a product once we know that it can do an average day’s work on a single battery charge and that the equipment will pay for itself in three years or less,” reports Alexander Greschner, CSO of the Wacker Neuson Group. Innovations The Wacker Neuson Group has developed numerous promising digitalisation solutions and will be unveiling these at Bauma. These include an extremely realistic driving simulator that will allow visitors to experience and test products before the initial prototypes have even been built. Virtual reality applications will be used for training purposes and configuring complex machines, while a 3D printer will provide impressive demonstrations of how spare parts can be quickly manufactured. “We also place our customers and their needs at the heart of our digitalisation development work. We are not using digital technology to look modern. We want to deliver real benefits to our customers and make their day-to-day working lives easier,” adds Martin Lehner. Another innovation on show at Bauma revolves – quite literally – around operator and construction site safety. The dual view concept for wheel dumpers with payloads of between 6 and 10 tons enables operators to quickly and easily change their seating position by turning the entire operating and seat console by 180 degrees. This ensures that drivers always have a clear view in the direction of travel when transporting, loading and unloading material. Wacker Neuson will be launching the concept in all European markets at Bauma. “We have other highlights lined up for visitors to our stand, but we don’t want to give away too much at this early stage. However, I can say that we’ll be reaching for new heights – in every sense of the word. Visit us at Bauma and let us surprise you,” concludes Alexander Greschner.

Kubota RTV-X900 delivers deep underground

Image
[Johannesburg, 30 May 2017]: With a rich founding history of gold and diamond mining, South Africa remains a leader in deep underground mining as well as safety in this arena, making the transfer of equipment and goods underground a task with little margin for error. Enter the Kubota RTV-X900. While the tasks involved in a successful mining operation are manifold, one of these is being able to move equipment, technicians and supplies from the shafts to the rock face; everything inside these tunnels must be brought from the surface. Due to the layout of a deep level mine, which could include many hundreds of kilometres of tunneling fanning out from the shafts and leading to the surface, this transfer is hugely complex and potentially very hazardous. In years past, the task of transporting goods from the surface underground and vice versa was carried out using a ‘cage’, from which the mining paraphernalia would either be physically carried or transported by wheeled trolleys to its po...

SKF Ultrasonic leak detector - Quick and easy detection of air leaks TKSU 10

Image
The SKF TKSU 10 is an ultrasonic leak detector that helps users to quickly find leakages in compressed air or vacuum systems. The instrument is very simple to use and features adjustable sensitivity and intuitive guidance for superior leak detection results. Any compressed air system can experience leaks, which amplify the load on compressors and increase costs. The TKSU 10 helps users to easily find leaks from a distance, even in noisy industrial environments, via its ultrasound measurement sensor. The built-in LED display assists the user in adjusting sensitivity and shows the measured ultrasound noise from leaking air, allowing the quantification of leaks and prioritisation of repairs. It is easy to use and no training is required. The leak detection can be done from a distance in noisy industrial environments. The colour LED display assists in adjusting sensitivity settings and shows measurement values. The unit reduces energy and maintenance costs via leak identification an...

Atlas Copco and Skills Development Corporation giving hope to the disabled

Image
In a bid to contribute to the much-needed skills development and work experience of disabled people, Atlas Copco South Africa partnered with the Skills Development Corporation (SDC) 12 months ago on 4 April 2017. Atlas Copco recognises the daily challenges the disabled face both in their private lives as well as in the business world. The 12-month initiative gave a number of leaners aged between 20 and 28 the opportunity to receive skills development while simultaneously obtaining valuable experience in the work place. The learning programme, hosted at Atlas Copco House in Jet Park, Boksburg, offered learners practical work experience from Monday to Thursday; every Friday learners attended lectures in General Business Management conducted by SDC Facilitator, Nozibusiso Nkosi. “We take pride in working with our future generation, teaching them the fundamental ins and outs of a corporate setting and at the same time boost their self-esteem and much needed confidence to pursue their ca...
