New backhoe engine enhances productivity

CASE Construction Equipment ’s new 580 and 590 Super R series 3 backhoes are built to combine stability in all terrains, with a choice of either mechanical PowerShuttle or PowerShift transmission.

Both the 580SR and 590SR are equipped with a 4.5 litre turbo engine. The 580SR is fitted with a Tier 3 engine rated at 72kW (95 Hp), while the 590 model is powered by an electronically-controlled engine rated at 82kW (110 Hp) and provides a torque boost of 516Nm to pull through any difficult conditions.

The hydraulics have been designed with ease of serviceability in mind, with three pressure control checks now grouped together, making an easier and more immediate diagnosis possible in any situation.

Ease of service also extends to daily maintenance, with a tilting hood providing easy engine access from ground level. Sight gauges allow for easy and quick daily checks of hydraulic oil and coolant levels. Along with this, the electronically controlled engine is compatible with the Case EST (Electronic Service Tool) for rapid diagnosis and minimum downtime.

When used effectively, EST can halve the time taken to diagnose and rectify a performance incident. One of the main benefits is being able to isolate troublesome and intermittent incidents by monitoring the operation of particular circuits or sensors of interest for faults during machine operation. The EST also assists the Case service technician to locate the relevant component using screen images.

Operator comfort was also considered in the re-design, with the electronic foot and hand throttle and one touch idle control simplifying operation.

The cab features good all round visibility with floor-to-roof glass. The ergonomically placed controls ensure the operator can easily concentrate on the job at hand and low noise levels ensure comfortable operation.

Exports of U.S.-made construction machinery totaled 36.68 billion for the first half of 2006, a 10% increase compared to January through June of 2005, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). The AEM North American-based international trade group consolidates U.S. Commerce Department data with other sources into a quarterly export trends report.

Central Americatook delivery of 44% more American-made construction equipment during the first half of 2006 compared to 2005 by midyear, for a total of $638 million, and South America increased its purchases 16% to total $950 million.

Construction equipment export volume to the Asia region overall declined 19% (a total $694 million). However, exports to China gained 20.5% for the first half of 2006 to total $114 million and rank China in 11t” place as an export destination for U.S. construction machinery.

“General construction (residential and commercial) projects and transportation infrastructure continue to account for the majority of recent equipment sales revenue in Latin America and China, according to participants in our quarterly industry conditions surveys,” noted AEM Assistant Director of International Marketing Arnold Huerta.

The only other world region showing a decline was Europe, with a decrease of 17% in construction equipment purchases ($892 million) for the first half of 2006.

Ripple effect: according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ report, construction equipment manufacturers forecast…

The construction equipment manufacturing industry expects overall U.S. and Canadian business to remain flat through the end of 2007 but rebound in 2008, while sales to worldwide markets should continue strong through 2007 and into the next year, according to the annual forecast of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).

AEM is the North-American based international trade group representing

the off-road equipment manufacturing industry. Each year it surveys its construction equipment manufacturer members about expected sales of the machines that build, repair and maintain America’s and the world’s roads, bridges, dams, houses, offices, schools and other public and private infrastructure.

In the latest AEM outlook survey, overall construction equipment demand by year-end 2007 is predicted to decline 1.9 percent in the United States and remain fiat in Canada at minus 0.1 percent, while worldwide business is anticipated to increase 9.9 percent.

In 2008, growth is expected in the United States, Canada and worldwide, with the biggest gains in global markets–an increase of 2.8 percent for the United States and 2.9 percent for Canada, and growth in worldwide markets of 8 percent.
