T brands is a specialist in its own domain. Aiming to visually underpin

the synergies and the team nature of the individual brands, the Group
will be presenting itself with a fresh, uniform Corporate Image (CI) in
future. The new visual orientation symbolizes the strength of the corporate
affiliation, which has developed over the course of many years, and stands,
above all, for one thing: The brands joint focus on the needs of customers.
Clear messages are called for in an increasingly complex world. After all,
a brand stands for values, attributes and convictions, say the Managing
Partners of the Wirtgen Group, Jrgen Wirtgen and Stefan Wirtgen. We
have succeeded in combining strong individual brands to form a group
of companies with worldwide operations, without losing sight of the
individuality of the product brands themselves. The redesign of the CI
will enable our product brands Wirtgen, Vgele, Hamm, Kleemann and
Benninghoven to present themselves with harmonized logos which convey
the vision of the Wirtgen Group and the brands affiliation to the Group
even more clearly in future.
The Wirtgen Group and the five product brands will be showcasing their

Shaping the future

Introducing a new CI is a complex process and a
mammoth project
WHAT ULTIMATELY PROMPTED YOU TO TAKE THIS MAJOR STEP?

Stefan Wirtgen: The new CI takes account of our Groups dynamic growth.
Together with Benninghoven, the Wirtgen Group now comprises five
premium product brands. We have been able to transform strong individual
brands into a globally operating group of companies. With this strategy, we
have become the technological leader, as well as the market leader. And we
are consistently working in this direction. We have adopted a more unified
visual identity for our product brands and our Group in order to convey a
clearer sense of group identity to our customers, on whom all our activities
are focused.
Jrgen Wirtgen: The five individual companies did not come together
under the corporate brand of the Wirtgen Group by chance: They also
fit together perfectly. Our technologies cover the complete process
chain in road construction. We want our visuals to convey this cycle
and the associated fact that, together, we make up a strong team.
And that is why we are clearly communicating our bond through
the new CI.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU SEE THE NEW CI AS A

MAJOR STEP FOR THE EXTERNAL IMAGE OF THE
WIRTGEN GROUP?
Stefan Wirtgen: Predominantly. But it is also of
decisive importance to our internal image. All
the Wirtgen Group product brands have
a long history and have always
shaped the technologies and
processes in their specialist
fields. If we are to strengthen
our bond and be true to it in
our internal dealings, within
our effective team, we need a
uniform identity that is more
than merely symbolic. It stands
for the shared values, synergies
and competences that we
harness to develop our immense
innovative power. We all make
up the Wirtgen Group.
>

THE WIRTGEN GROUP HAS STRONG, INDEPENDENT PRODUCT BRANDS

WITH LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY ARE YOU PLANNING TO CHANGE THAT?
Jrgen Wirtgen: No. We will remain a group of companies with highly
decentralized responsibility, with specialized independent product brands
and subsidiaries that can respond flexibly to the needs of markets. Precisely
this strategy has made us so successful in the past. By introducing a
uniform identity embracing all product brands and with valuable synergies
in engineering design, we can give our engineers the freedom they need
to focus entirely on developing innovative
advanced technology. Specifically for
their respective product brands.
This is also the reason why the
machines will continue to
feature not only the brand
names of our product
brands, but also their
identifying colours.

cranes are operated by Ainscough Crane Hire.
On average there are eight telescopic cranes on site each day.
Tasks for the smaller cranes include handling rebar, placing
shuttering and carrying out general construction lifts. Work
for the larger cranes includes lifting bridge deck segments and
precast sections. One of the LR 1300 crawler cranes has been
mounted on a barge situated in the river. The second machine
is based on the shore.
The new bridge, which is called the Queensferry Crossing, is
due for completion by the end of 2016. Once complete it will
be 2.7 km long and will sit alongside the existing Forth Road
Bridge (FRB) built in 1964.
Liebherr is responsible for crane supply at the project and

Each of the three Liebherr 630 EC-H 40 Litronic top slewing

cranes stands on a client-constructed steel foundation known
as a caisson
and are configured with 36 m jibs. All three models are fitted
with 110 kW high performance hoist gears.
To adapt to the high wind speeds the cranes are specified
according to wind zone D 25. The cranes are fitted with the
500 HC tower systems and are mounted on a 10 m 630 EC-H
undercarriage, the manufacturer said. Each crane reaches 235 m
high, with hook heights of 212 m and five guying systems on the
pylons. iC >

The latest crawler cranes from Kobelco are the G-series and
S-series. The energy saving system G-mode is adapted to all the
latest models and helps reduce fuel consumption by up to 25%
relative to conventional models, the manufacturer says. In the
near future, the manufacturer is planning to install engines that
comply with Tier-4 and Stage IV on the G-series crawler cranes.
Models from the G-series (European model) include the 60 tonne
CKE600G up to the 550 tonne SL6000G. Models from the
G-series (North America model) include the 85 tonne CK850G,

IEBHERR says its new concrete mixing plant, Mobilmix
2.5 debuting at this years Bauma is easy to transport
and, with its basic elements positioned on a supporting
platform and transportable as a whole on a flatbed truck, it can
be set up within two days, making it ideal for sites with limited
concrete production time or other time constraints.
While from a performance and comfort perspective, the
machine is said to be comparable with a stationary mixing plant,
the Mobilmix comes equipped with a completely reworked twin
shaft mixer and has a number of upgraded features compared
with its predecessor, the Mobilmix 2.25, including an output
capacity increased by 10 m to 110 m per hour.
Another new feature is a lowered mixer platform, with its slight
slope to the discharge hopper making cleaning significantly
easier. A new keyless security system on the mixer access hatch,
as well as improved accessibility to the mixer system, also aid
cleaning, while a feed flap on the skip and dust filter systems
give dust protection to the mixer platform.
Efficiency, eco-friendliness and straightforward operation are
the standout qualities of the 5th generation single drum rollers,
being showcased by BOMAG at this years Bauma.
A 12-tonne category roller is new to Bomags earthworks
portfolio.
The company says its Ecomode function (available across the
new range) has been shown to reduce fuel consumption by up to
30%, with no reduction in compaction performance.
Combined with features such as the optional Ecostop function,
which can save fuel and reduce engine wear, Bomag says overall
operating costs are lowered. Cats AP300F paver plant

Now available, the BF 300-2 paver also has a Tier III engine
and is optionally wheel or chain drive. The machine has a laying
capacity of 300 tonnes per hour and a maximum laying width of
5 m with the chain drive option, or 4.40 m with the wheel drive.
Another option for the BF 300-2 is a ventilation system, which
can extract asphalt fumes directly above the auger, diverting
them to above the paver roof, making the machine cleaner and
more comfortable for both drivers and screed operators.
The paver comes with an Ecomode, and Bomag believes 80%
of its daily work can be conducted with the Paver operating in
this mode, saving fuel and reducing noise.
More options include LED headlights and a balloon light.
Bomags BMF 2500 feeder promises greater paving efficiency
with uniform and constant delivery of the mix to the asphalt
paver. At Bauma, the machine will be displayed with a medium-
length fixed belt.

compaction, side development and piling, said Chicago
Pneumatic.
All models within the RC range are designed for instant
use, with no special installation required, and combine high
compaction frequency with high vibrating force to enable
operators to make quick work of most compaction jobs. To
reduce stress on the compactor during operation, the housing
is offset by 15%.
To ensure the hydraulic compactors are protected against
overloads all models come equipped with integrated flow rate
and pressure controls. This ensures operator safety and also
saves time when the compactors are used on different carriers.
The use of solid rubber isolators also provides excellent shock
dampening of return vibrations, meaning there is no limitation
of back pressure in the return line.
RC compactors are virtually maintenance free. The oil bath
around the shaft bearing ensures continuous greasing, while

erman-based manufacturer
G DEUTZ will be presenting

its new TCD 2.2 diesel
and gas engine at Bauma. ...and the new TCD 2.9 engine
This 2.2 litre engine is a three-
cylinder variant of Deutzs
TCD 2.9 four-cylinder engine.
The TCD 2.2, with a rating of
up to 55kW, will be particularly
suitable for applications in
material handling and compact
construction equipment.
The engine will be available in
both a diesel and a liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG) variant. The gas variant will
produce up to 42kW and is a first within Deutzs
otherwise diesel-only product range.
The TCD 2.2 will go into series production in 2019
when the EU Stage V emissions standard comes into force.
Deutz will also be presenting an LPG variant of its TCD 2.9
engine. The engine will produce up to 55kW and have a similar
size and configuration to its diesel equivalent. The new gas
variants called G 2.2 and G 2.9 mark Deutzs entry into a
line of business that offers future potential, with LPG engines
offering a number of advantages, claims Deutz.
For example, they are particularly well suited to equipment Hugh Foden, executive director, Cummins Off-Highway
