The 2.5-ton model redefines standards for
Hitachi Construction Machinery America Inc.
(HCMA) continues to expand its ZW-6-wheel
loaders in North America, with the upgrade of its
popular compact model, ZW100-6.
Developed for a wide variety of applications -
including heavy construction; excavation work;
and water, sewer and pipeline construction -
the small, yet powerful ZW100-6 has operating
weight of 17,042 pounds (7,730 kg) and bucket
capacity of 1.4 cubic yards (1.1 m³).
At the heart of the ZW-6 lineup, Hitachi's
technology-led approach impacts everything,
from environmental performance to operator
comfort and safety, and cost of ownership.
A 101- horsepower (74-kW) Tier 4 Final
certified engine that does not require a diesel
particulate filter (DPF) system reduces fuel
consumption and maintenance costs. A
spacious cab with 360-degree visibility, ride
control and onboard technology increases
productivity with quick and efficient cycle times.
Heavy-duty axles and a reinforced front
frame improve ZW100-6's durability. An optional
belly guard protects the machine powertrain
and driveshaft from potential damage caused by
materials on the ground.

DICA continues to expand its engineered
solutions for improving equipment stability and
ergonomic safety, with the new SafetyTech
brand's Special Duty Outrigger Pads.
Commonly used by utilities, utility
contractors, and tree care contractors, DICA's
offerings include:
* Original Cavity Pad and Cavity Pad Plus
Pads, with recessed and beveled edge guard
solutions, to contain the stabilizer foot of
utility and tree care equipment.
* 2-inch-thick Recessed Radius Pads effectively
that support concrete pumping equipment
and utilize a radius recess to contain an
outrigger foot.
* Sliding Shoe Pads lock onto the stabilizer
feet of tracked lifts and mini cranes so that
equipment can be easily repositioned or
secured for travel, without having to stow
the outrigger pads.
Hyundai Construction Equipment launched the
B-X Series, next-generation, electric forklift.

base for utility pole-pulling equipment and
operations.
Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA, reminds
Doosan Infracore North America introduced
several new products.
A completely new lineup of mini excavators
includes DX27Z-7, a new size class for the
North American line. At just 60 inches wide, it
fits in many confined job sites. Zero tail-swing
models, the 24.7-horsepower DX35Z-7 and
48.8-horsepower DX50Z-7, are ready to work
where other machines can't.
And for the first time, the DoosanCONNECT
Telematics management system is available
small electric forklift markets - where costeffectiveness
is critical - with the company's
first use of lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) batteries
in the B-X series. As LFP batteries require shorter
charging time and generate higher output
power than conventional lead-acid batteries,
they are suitable for the logistics industry's long
operating hours and high volume of goods.
This series also maximizes driver convenience,
with optimized seat design, air-conditioning and
heating functions, from an ergonomic aspect, to
support long-term operations.
Moreover, maintenance is easier. B-X series
batteries are removed easily and safely on
the side, using hand pallets versus the cranes
required by conventional electric forklifts.

equipment users that the right combination
of shear strength, compression strength, and
rigidity are required to effectively support and
distribute the imposed loads and pressures.
" Our fitting process begins with an accurate
understanding of this information so that we can
recommend the appropriate outrigger pad to
meet customer objectives, " he said.
