BLS Hightop Track Pads

from BLS Enterprises Inc.

BLS Enterprises Inc develops the BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads, specifically designed for asphalt milling machines.

The new BLS HIGHTOP, available in the 14 or 16 in. (355 or 406 mm) polyurethane bolt-on track pad, provides users with over 1.25 in. (32 mm) of wearable material. This is a 50% increase over the original BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads and can save contractors a great deal of money by increasing the life of the track pad.

Both HIGHTOP track pads are also available as TUFPADS BLUES track pads with the new extreme blue polyurethane, which has proven to last 15 to 30% longer than the original black polyurethane.

The BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads save contractors 35 to 40% in replacement parts costs since the steel grousers can be reused and save 50% in replacement labor costs due to the ease of installation and removal.

C7.1 ACERT Engine

from Caterpillar Inc. - Engine Div.

Caterpillar announces the introduction of the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB technology Cat C7.1 ACERT at Intermat in Paris Nord-Villepinte.

The new engine is a 7.01 liter platform with a power rating of 175-300 hp (130-225 kW) and delivers a peak torque of 944 lb.-ft. (1280Nm). The engine includes a Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM) aftertreatment system that will meet Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions standards.

Equipped with an A5 electronic control unit, high pressure common rail fuel system and a two-stage Smart Wastegate turbocharger, the Cat C7.1 with ACERT Technology delivers low speed response and torque as well as high power density at higher speeds. The C7.1 utilizes the full complement of ACERT building blocks including the CEM and the Cat NOx Reduction System to achieve a significant 90% reduction of PM and a 45% reduction of NOx over current Tier 3/Stage IIIA levels.

SRGP - Solideal Radial General Purpose tires

from Solideal International

Solideal presents its SRGP (Solideal Radial General Purpose) tires at Intermat 2009.

The SRGP offering includes the L3/E3 radial tire for wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks and graders. The SRGP is Solideal's first all steel radial tire model.

During the development of the SRGP, Solideal engineers focused on both minimizing the vibration level and optimising the stability of the tire. Laboratory and field tests have proven that the SRGP not only meets industry expectations but exceeds them. The tire exhibits extremely low vibration levels for optimal riding comfort for drivers and improved stability.

The SRGP is available in 17.5R25, 20.5R25, 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25 sizes, and provides additional benefits such as excellent traction, extended life, self-cleaning lugs and Solideal's Dual Star system.
