Bobcat, a manufacturer of the market-leading compact equipment, has launched the Bobcat B290 hydraulic breaker for the company's new 316 micro excavator.

Professionals in the installation trades now have the tool of their dreams: a system that makes diamond coring as easy as driving with an automatic gearbox, claims Hilti.

The long-reach EC460B, the flagship of the Volvo excavator line with an operating weight of 47.9 tonnes and a powerful 228 kW-engine driving operations, has been put to use at some of the very demanding projects. Its smooth hydraulics mean that even when fitted with a 30 m boom it is able to demolish tall structures with relative ease.
