NEW EQUIPMENT NEWS
The new SANY SY210C-9 excavator features a six-cylinder in-line water-cooled Cummins 6BT5.9-C140 engine , with a rated engine power of 140hp at 2 000rpm , and a maximum torque of 571Nm at 1 300rpm . The engine is matched perfectly to the hydraulic system , thanks to the proprietary Dynamic Optimisation Matching Control System ( DOMCS ) developed by SANY .
The advanced control system not only boosts operating efficiency by 6 %, but slashes fuel consumption by 10 %, reducing the total cost of ownership , Andre Steenkamp , general manager of the SANY range under GEM , points out .
The 21t SANY excavator enhances GEM ’ s total product offering , which includes small and large equipment for industries as diverse as construction , mining , agriculture , sand and stone , forestry , roadworks , and plant hire sectors .
The matched auto-idle speed function is designed for increasing fuel efficiency even further , while ensuring maximum stability during idling for smooth operation . Variable working modes include heavyduty , standard , light-duty , and break , which enhances the versatility of the excavator in different working environments .
Additional ‘ smart ’ features include an advanced GPRS monitoring system and machine alerts to allow for proactive monitoring of engine hours , fuel usage , and location history . The upgraded undercarriage has a unique X-shaped structure in terms of its lateral beams for extra strength and rigidity , excellent torsion , and bending-resistant performance .
The main differentiator for SANY in the local market is highly competitive pricing for this global brand , supplemented by increased parts-holding and full in-field service and technical back-up through GEM ’ s national branch structure . In addition , SANY equipment has been engineered specifically for African operating conditions , focusing on enhanced durability , fuel-efficiency , user-friendliness , and reliability .
Liebherr ’ s LTM 1250-5.1 is ready for industrial and assembly work . The mobile crane was officially handed over to Paulo Simonsen , managing director of the Brazilian company Montcalm Montagens Industriais S / A , at the customer days held at the Liebherr plant in Ehingen . Montcalm will use its new 250-tonne crane exclusively for the company ’ s own jobsites .
Operating across the Brazilian territory , Montcalm offers fully integrated engineering , civil , and electromechanical construction solutions in various sectors such as oil and gas , cement , steel and paper plants , in the fertiliser industry , petrochemical plants , the textile industry , and infrastructure .
The company carries out both the construction of full new plants as well as refurbishment and maintenance work of all types . The new Liebherr LTM 1250-5.1 will immediately be sent to its first job as soon as it arrives in Brazil : assembly work at the Sergipe Thermoelectric Power Plant located in Barra dos Coqueiros , the construction plant conducted by General Electric ( GE ).
“ High-quality durable machines like Liebherr mobile and crawler cranes are very important to us . Our LTM 1200 / 1 built in 2002 is still very reliable and powerful today ,” says Simonsen . The fleet also includes an LR 1400 / 2 , two LTR 1220s , and an LTR 1100 from Liebherr . In total , the São Paulo-based company employees 3 000 people .
More features for Cat D8T dozer
The latest Cat D8T dozer is designed to move more material in less time , at a lower cost per ton , for a faster return on equipment investment . The bulldozer features an all-new fully automatic transmission , delivering up to 18 % more productivity without consuming more fuel , as well as unprecedented ease of operation . Added blade capacity , increased power and steering performance , and a full range of technology options help customers realise more productivity and a faster payback .
In lighter applications , customers can expect to see up to 11 % fuel savings compared to doing the same work with the previous model .
Much of the productivity gain comes from a new Caterpillardesigned fully automatic 4-speed transmission . The powertrain continuously optimises the dozer for maximum power and greatest efficiency based on the load . Operators of varying experience levels can get the most from the dozer without having to manage gear shifts as there is no need for the operator to upshift / downshift . The added gear and seamless lock-up clutch engagement ensure smooth shifting .
The Semi-Universal ( SU ) blade capacity has been increased by 19 %. At 10.3 cubic metres , the largest SU blade in the size class finishes jobs in fewer passes . Optional patented Performance Cutting Edges increase blade payload by up to 25 % versus standard cutting edges , especially in hard / frozen ground or heavily compacted materials . Powered by a Cat C15 ACERT engine , the new D8T offers class-leading 354 net horsepower ( 264kW ). Drawbar power is increased by up to 13 %. A 10 % increase in steering torque , fully automatic transmission , and differential steering combine to provide best-in-class steering performance under load , according to Caterpillar .
Like all Cat dozers , the D8T is designed for easy routine maintenance with features like grouped service points and a ground-level service centre . New cartridge fuel filters , longer engine oil service intervals , and standard programmable automatic reversing fan help save maintenance time .

In lighter applications , customers can expect to see up to 11 % fuel savings compared to doing the same work with the previous model .
Cat HDXL with DuraLink — offers up to 25 % more wear life in abrasive conditions to help reduce maintenance time and overall cost . More robust structures provide the added durability to handle the increased weight and productivity .
The D8T is available in Standard and Low Ground Pressure
( LGP ) configurations , as well as purpose-built Waste and Stockpile arrangements . A variety of blades and track shoe types / widths allows each machine to be optimised for performance in specific applications . Source : Heavy Equipment Guide
