this machine. Using a series of counterweight cylinders and ropes, it eliminates the need to erect the A-frame, which makes transport faster and easier (especially when transporting under bridges and overpasses). Also on display will be Liebherr's new 220-ton R 9200 excavator (shown on previous page), with its biggest- in-class 16.3-cubic-yard bucket. It is designed to match mining trucks with payloads up to 154 tons. Wirtgen The company's new W 120 Ri small milling machine is the fi rst mobile, rear-loading machine of its type on wheels. It has features similar to the W 35 Ri launched last year, and has a milling width of 3.9 feet. The new W 150 CFi compact milling machine is a front-loading machine, and has a working width of up to 4.9 feet and a milling depth of up to a foot. Wirtgen's slipform SP 64i paver, when added to the SP 61i and SP 62i, will replace the company's SP 500 paver. When equipped with the four optional hydraulic swivel arms, the machine can switch from transport to working mode faster than the SP 500. Adding the Paving Plus package allows the swivel arms to circumnavigate obstacles while paving. It can pave from 19.7 feet to 24.6 feet wide (with electric vibrators), and up to a foot thick in the standard version. The new self-propelled TCM 180i curing unit (for con- crete paving) has a working width of between 13.1 feet and 59 feet, and can be customized with a longi- tudinal broom and spraying, as well as with a diagonal fi nish. Komatsu Komatsu's new PC138US-11 short tail swing hydraulic excavator has an operating weight range from 29,541 pounds to 31,894 pounds. It features a 93.5-horsepower Komatsu SAA4D95LE engine, and can be fi tted with the company's op- tional KOMVISION, which can display a 360-degree bird's eye view of the ex- cavator on its standard 7-inch LCD widescreen monitor. Hyundai Hyundai is launching four new excavators, including two compact radius crawler models, the HX235LCR and HX145LCR, and two wheeled models, the HW140 and HW210. All models include an 8-inch touchscreen monitor, debuted on the HX series last year, as well as the Advance Around View Monitoring 360-degree virtual operating view and Intelligent Moving Ob- ject Detection system (that senses objects within work- ing distance). Other features include an ECO Gauge, which can help reduce fuel consumption from 6 to 12 percent compared to the 9A series. The machines have 10 breaker and crusher settings. The HX models offer increased cycle time, allowing them to load trucks up to 5 percent faster than previous models. Atlas Copco Atlas Copco's Dynapac CA1400 soil compactor offers a compaction width of 66 inches and a static linear load of 112 pounds per linear inch , so it can compact sand and gravel down to 20 inches. The PD version can compact silt and clay at a depth of 18 inches. It also offers two amplitudes; high (0.067-inch) and low (0.032-inch). The Dynapac SD1800 (from the company's Citypaver class) can lay 350 tons of asphalt per hour, and has a paving width range from 2.3 to 15.4 feet. The design is optimized for city road construc- tion and repair jobs, and the machine measures 16.4 feet long and 5.9 feet wide.
