Wheel Loader Added to Komatsu Line
Komatsu Canada Limited has added the WA320-5 to its line of
hydrostatically
driven
wheel loaders. The WA320-5 is powered by a turbocharged Komatsu
SAA6D102E-2-A air-to-air aftercooled engine. It has a net output of 166
hp and reduces emissions, lowers fuel consumption by 15 per cent and
increases productivity, while lowering engine speed to 2,000 rpm. The
wheel loader is equipped with an electronically controlled Advanced
Technology Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) with a Variable Shift Control
System. The WA320-5 also features the Traction Control System—designed
to reduce tire slippage—and a fully-hydraulic braking system to
eliminate freezing and rusting caused by water condensation encountered
in air-operated systems. Also included is the Equipment Management
Monitoring System informing the operator of 28 machine functions to help
prevent costly breakdowns. Additional features include a five per cent
larger cab, new sloped entry steps and improved handrails, new doors and
platforms, mono-lever PPC hydraulic system with a F/N/R control switch
for smooth operation and easy usage.

up to 300°F
• Consistent moisture content shutdown points within one per cent
• Sensor lead design includes an automatic sensor release, eliminating
damage from failing wood in the kilns

Cat Has New Hydraulic Excavator
Caterpillar has announced the 321C LCR Hydraulic Excavator to replace
the 321B LCR. The new C-Series excavator features a
compact
swing radius for high productivity in tight areas—a tail swing radius of
only 1.67 metres. To further minimize the working envelope, the boom is
positioned farther back in the upper frame as compared to a standard
excavator. The 321C LCR weighs in at 24,000 kg and is powered by the Cat
3066T engine. The six-cylinder, turbocharged and aftercooled diesel
engine produces 103 kW (about seven per cent more power than the
previous model). It uses an open-centre, two-pump hydraulic system. And
the increased engine power allows increased hydraulic flow of 10 per
cent when compared to the previous model.

Mettler Toledo Introduces
OverDrive Software
Mettler Toledo recently introduced OverDrive, a software that allows
users to
control
multiple vehicle weighing and data solutions across one platform.
OverDrive connects vehicle scales to a standalone PC or integrates them
into a local or wide area network. The software can control multiple
scale configurations, as well as peripheral devices such as traffic
lights, security gates, and unattended weighing stations where drivers
may interface directly with the system, without the need of a dedicated
scale house operator. An ODBC compliant database stores the information
and creates detailed transaction records. Users can get instant access
to information to track orders, compile reports and comply with industry
regulations. www.mt.com/us. Reader
