XCMG fourth-generation XCT30
3711 Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Company, known as XCMG, said its fourth-generation XCT30 on show at INTERMAT 2012 marks a “new level” of the firm’s truck crane manufacturing.

The machine, according to XCMG, incorporates advanced design concepts in its structure and the appearance of its components, to its internal system configuration and performance. XCMG claims the XCT30 is leading a “new development direction” for the truck crane industry, while providing a “technical basis for future exploration” in truck crane development.

Adopting a tri-axle chassis and five-section boom with twelve cross sections, the XCT30 features a wide operating range and powerful lifting performance. Its small tonnage assistant hoisting mechanism, said to be the first one in China, uses the hitching form to meet strict road regulatory requirements in different regions. Self-developed hydraulic and electrical systems are used to raise operating performance of the complete machine, and to ensure good rotary micro-mobility, high safety, and high fuel efficiency. The application of adaptive dedicated double power curve technology allows fuel consumption savings of 6% for the complete machine, an increase of 5% in operating efficiency, and 5% lower maintenance costs.

Other features of the XCT30 include a 1195 Mercedes-Benz electronic control engine, and Allison transmission Inc's automatic transmission, with emission levels meeting the off-highway Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB stage standard.

XCMG said the XCT30 meets all European road and regulatory criteria.

    JCB will launch 427 and 437 wheeled loaders at Bauma, powered by Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim Cummins engines. First seen in prototype form at last year’s Intermat show, the two loaders are powered by the Cummins QSB6.7 engine, which offers a 9.4% increase in torque over the previous model. This drives through a lock-up converter and customers can choose a standard four-speed or optional five-speed transmission, which delivers a 16% drop in fuel consumption. In-cab noise levels have been reduced to just 68dB(A
