Compact Loader Backhoe: Designed With Crowded Jobsites in Mind
U.K.-based JCB is targeting the European market at Bauma 2016 with the 3CX loader backhoe. At just over 6 ft wide and 9 ft tall, the compact machine is designed for work on congested urban jobsites. With a top travel speed of 25 mph, it has a 19-ft turning circle for quick, over-the-road transport. The 3CX is powered by a 74-hp Kohler engine, which meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards without the need for an after-treatment system. JCB; www.jcb.com
Articulated Dump Truck: Improved Fuel Economy
Building on a prototype it first showed to the public at Intermat 2015, Bell is introducing the B45E articulated dump truck at Bauma 2016. The truck has a 45.2-tonne capacity, with a 32.7-cu-yd dump body. Changes from the D-Series include a shift to seven-gear Allison transmissions, contributing to a 6% lower fuel cost per metric ton. Despite its large capacity, the truck is sized for over-the-road travel in Europe and the U.S. Bell Equipment; www.bellequipment.com
