Wacker Neuson


Wacker Neuson
Wacker Neuson
brings three new site dumpers to the U.S. market, with material-moving capacities of 2,205 (model 1001), 6,614 (model 3001) and 13,227 pounds (model 6001). The small articulated trucks, popular in Europe, distinguish themselves from other job-site material handlers with their capacity, maneuverability, low-landscape impact and most notably, their dump bodys' ability to swivel 180 degrees for dumping to either side of the machines. The 1001 and 3001 are powered by Yanmar diesels, and the 6001 has an 82-horsepower Perkins diesel. Hydrostatic drive makes the units simple to operate.

Professional operators rate Wacker Neuson's 6001 site dumper.

Market Watch:

Dynapac


Dynapac Four new tandem asphalt rollers, the 8- to 10-ton Dynapac CC224HF and a split-drum version CC234HF and 10- to 12-ton models CC324HF and split-drum CC334HF, extend Dynapac’s range in the 8- to 12-ton class to six models. “Soft” starting and stopping prevent bowing or cracking in the asphalt layers, allowing even unskilled operators to start and stop without leaving marks. The machines automatically drop out of the “soft” mode and brake immediately if the lever is moved quickly, signaling the need for an emergency stop. A double-pump vibration system eliminates need for a vibration valve, making the system more efficient and aiding servicing while reducing fuel consumption. The new Dynapac models are powered by a Cummins QSB 3.3 T3 water-cooled turbo engine with after cooler and rated at 80 horsepower at 2,200 rpm. A 99-horsepower engine is also available.

Kioti


Kioti Kioti now makes the 49-horsepower DK50SE HST and 38-horsepower DK35SE HST compact tractor loaders available to North America, extending the DKSE Series to six models. They’re both powered by 4-cylinder, water-cooled diesel engines with hydrostatic drive. Category 1 3-point hitch adds versatility. Both models are available with or without a cab. Standard features include: high visibility glass, power steering, front and rear working lights, wet-disc brakes, rear differential lock, one lever joy stick loader control, electronically engaged four wheel drive, electronically engaged PTO with auto and manual positions, an oil cooler and Kioti's 4-year, full-fleet warranty.

Market Watch:

Yanmar


Yanmar Equipped with a tailor-made hydraulic quick coupler as standard, the Yanmar ViO55-5B mini excavator facilitates single-person attachment changes for a carrier sized at 5.5 metric tons. With a digging depth of 13 feet 8 inches and a maximum digging force of 9,015 pounds, the Yanmar excavator features ViO crawler technology by Advanced Stability, delivering an expanded track gauge for increased stability without increasing undercarriage width. The ViO55-5B’s true-zero-tail-swing design allows for 360-degree turning of the counterweight within the machine’s tracks. A new angle blade is available as an option.
