HYUNDAI Mid-size excavator with optimized safety The newest addition to Hyundai Construction Equipment's line of Robex 210, 9-Series crawler excavators is the R210LC-9. It features improvements that include optimized safety, enhanced technology and operator comfort, reduced operating costs, and extended component and wear- part life. The mid-size excavator is powered by a Cummins QSB6.7 water-cooled, four-cycle, low-emission diesel engine with 145 horsepower at 1,900 rpm. At 49,390 pounds, the machine has a dig depth of 18 feet, 7 inches and bucket digging force of 24,900 pound-feet. New steel- tube construction on the cab increases safety and durability. The excavator comes standard with a 7-inch-wide color LCD screen Cluster with toggle switch that allows the operator to select personal machine preferences, as well as power and work-mode selections, self-diagnostics, maintenance check lists, and machine security.

TQC KOMATSU A better dozer Komatsu America says its D375A-7 dozer features technological enhancements for increased produc- tion, fuel economy, extended component life, and operator comfort. The company says the dozer offers more horsepower and features an optimized blade profile, an enhanced operator station, and key mining specifications. Standard operating equipment, such as torque converter lockup, track-shoe slip control, power/economy mode, and ripping penetration, are said to exceed critical customer requirements. Other features include a K-Bogie undercarriage, Palm Com- mand Control System, Komtrax Plus, and a low dB(A) noise level. Write 15 on Reader Service Card or visit www.betterroads.com/info. Non-destructive concrete moisture meter The TQC Concrete Moisture Meter is a non-destructive moisture meter for concrete, which measures electrical impedance through the moisture con- tent of concrete by pressing the instrument against the concrete surface. The electrical impedance is measured through generating a low frequency electric field between eight electrodes at the bottom of the instrument. De- pending on the moisture content the measurements are made to a depth of several centimeters. Four scales allow flexible use of the instrument as an accurate measuring device or as a detector to find moisture traces or leak- age: Concrete zero to 6 percent H2 relative scale zero to 100 percent; and Scale 0.3 to 15.3m. The scale works in a similar way as the Relative scale and can be used alongside meters with the same scale that ranges between 0.3 and 15.3 meters.
