Wheel Loader: Redesigned Z-Bar Linkage

Deere’s L-Series of wheel loaders has been updated with four new models, including one with a hybrid-electric drive transmission. The loaders feature more comfortable cabs, improved HVAC and electrohydraulic controls. A heated and ventilated heavy-duty air suspension seat and automatic cab temperature control are available as options. A redesigned Z-Bar linkage allows for greater visibility and a power lift of 8° for better load leveling. The EH function grants the operator greater control over bucket movement, and can store preset settings. John Deere; www.deere.com

Modular Propping System: Lightweight, Versatile

The Tetrashor propping system is designed for use in building rehabilitation, facade work, dead shoring or precast concrete construction. The components weigh in at only 30 kilograms per meter and can be easily carried around the site. The system boasts a 400-kN loading capacity with a minimal number of components, saving time on setup and assembly. Tetrashor can be placed vertically, horizontally and at an incline. The components can be used to form a tower using the Tetrashor prop, increasing the loading capacity to 1,600 kN. The system’s KwikStrike load release feature allows for speedy disassembly.
