EquipmentWorld.com | June 2016 11 marketplace | by Lucas Stewart | LucasStewart@randallreilly.com Hyundai Tool Master model delivers up to 10 percent more fuel efficiency Hyundai has unveiled the HL955TM Tool Master loader to its HL line up of wheel loaders. The new Tool Master models feature a dual-linkage boom design to increase lift capacity and improve load stability. Powered by a 199-horsepower Cummins engine, the loader comes standard with a 3.5-cubic-yard bucket and delivers 28,218 pound-feet of breakout force. Hyundai says the model delivers up to 10 percent lower fuel consumption and the cab is 10 percent larger than previous 9A models. A 7-inch touchscreen monitor inside the cab integrates all switches, along with an inclinometer, which assists the operator in maintaining a level bucket. Note: This is small portion of the products revealed at Bauma. For a more thorough look, go to equipmentworld.com and type "Bauma" in the search box. Bauma, the world's largest construction show, took place this April in Munich, Germany. Here's what caught our eye: Liebherr PR 716 dozer uses ECO mode for light, medium-duty jobs Succeeding the PR 714, the 126-horsepower Liebherr PR 716 dozer has an operating weight ranging from 29,101 to 33,510 pounds. Powered by a 4-cylinder Liebherr engine, the "generation 6" machine uses SCR technology that does not require a DPF. The electronic drive management system has an ECO mode setting that can be used in light and medium-duty applications. When the machine encounters heavy material, a proactive power control kicks in, temporarily increasing engine power. The machine's univer- sal 6-way blade can be equipped with optional hinged corners, giving the dozer more transpor- tation flexibility. The PR 716 cab uses several features of larger generation 6 machines, includ- ing the T-shaped control for travel and working hydraulics, and a touch screen display. Volvo A60H can haul 40 percent more than 40-ton-class ADTs The 60-ton Volvo A60H articulated dump truck (ADT) had its official unveiling at Bauma. The ADT can haul 40 percent more than Volvo's 40-ton-class A40H. Production is expected to start by year's end, and it will be available in North America at that time. The design concept between the A40 size machine and the A60-size machine is the same, although the drivetrain, frame and body are specifically made for the A60H. Powered by a 16-liter Volvo engine, the 663-horsepower A60H features 100 percent differential locks, an all terrain bogie, hydro mechanical steer- ing and an active hydraulic front suspension for higher hauling speeds in tough conditions.
