An error in last month's IC meant several new machines from Hitachi and Hyundai were missing from the “At a glance...” table.
Hitachi's new products at Intermat will include Zaxis 3 versions of its 25, 28, 35, 52 and 67 tonne-class crawler excavators, which are now fitted with Tier 3 engines. The company is also launching its new ZW wheeled loader range at the show, again these models feature Tier 3 engines.
Hyundai's Intermat launches include its flagship 50 tonne crawler excavator, the R500LC-7. Another top of the range addition is the company's 30 tonne HL780-7A wheeled loader. The loader is powered by the same Tier 3 Cummins engine as Hyundai's new excavator, but it is rated slightly higher at 259 kW.
Company adds hundreds of new pumps in anticipation of extreme El Niño weather events.
