BICES and AEM Join Forces The Beijing International Construction Machinery Exhibition and Seminar and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, which owns the CONEXPO Asia exhibition, have announced a cooperative effort to ensure the perpetuation of an international construction machinery exhibition in China. The BICES-AEM partnership will bring together manufacturers, customers and industry organizations to produce the most successful event possible for all industry stakeholders. BICES 2009 will be held 3-6, November 2009 in Beijing at the Jiuhua International Exhibition Centre. Atlas Copco withdraws from Intermat Atlas Copco together with Dynapac has withdrawn from participating at the construction trade show Intermat 2009, which will take place in Paris, France in April 2009. A trade show like Intermat requires extensive resources to attend, both in terms of money and people. Because of the turmoil and uncertainty in the construction market, fewer visitors, particularly international, are expected to come to Intermat. With this in mind, Atlas Copco estimates it can bring more benefits to customers by reallocating the effort spent on Intermat and focusing on more targeted activities. Atlas Copco is committed to the construction market. The company says that it will also in this downturn develop the leadership by working closely to the customers. By focusing on more direct customer activities, they will interact more efficiently with the customers and will be better able to respond to the direct needs of the market. Bobcat’s 50th Anniversary Competition Winners Bobcat has announced the three prize-winners in the ‘What Did Bobcat Do For Me?’ 50th anniversary celebratory competition. The winner of the Grand Prize, a trip to the USA, including a visit to the Bobcat factories at Bismarck and Gwinner in North Dakota and a one-day visit to New York, was David Arthon of Fuveau in Aix-en-Provence in Southern France, a customer of the Bobcat dealer Boïs. The second prize, a EUR 1000 voucher for Bobcat products, went to Richard Heskens of the Netherlands, a customer of Bobcat Zoeterwoude. Mathias Morlion of Belgium, a customer of Bobcat dealer, Vangaever, won the third prize of a EUR 500 voucher for Bobcat products. www.bobcat.com 8 PDi • Is s u e 1 - 2009 • Fe b - Ma r c h Caterpillar launches Cat TV Caterpillar has launched a new interactive website, CAT TV at www.mycattv.com, introducing a previously unseen level of engagement with the public in the Caterpillar world. Visitors to the site will experience web-based video communication that allows everyone from large mining companies to schoolchildren to see the strengths of Caterpillar products and services in a visual, interactive way. New videos are added to the six channels of CAT TV regularly, and Caterpillar selects a videoof-the-week. All videos can be embedded into other websites and used, for example, for training purposes. To ensure maximum interactivity, visitors to the site can also share their own Caterpillar videos and, at a later stage, post and read comments on all videos. www.cat.com CONEXPO Russia May 2010 The Association of Equipment Manufacturers and its member companies have announced that the next CONEXPO Russia will be delayed until 2010 to allow the economy to improve. It has been rescheduled for 19-22 May 2010 and will be held at the Transport-Exhibition Complex next to the Zhukovsky Airport, Moscow. Some of the companies already supporting and participating in the next CONEXPO Russia include Chetra, Caterpillar, Terex, JCB, Komatsu, Volvo and the Gaz Group. Hillhead 2009 Postponed In view of both the scale and speed with which the current adverse economic climate has developed, a decision has been made to postpone the UK show Hillhead scheduled for June 2009 for a period of 12 months. Despite the show being heavily booked as usual, discussions took place with leading exhibitors at the end of January following which it was concluded that it would be in the best interests of the event if it were put back a full year to allow UK market conditions time to stabilise. The organisers apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and the new dates for Hillhead 2010 are 22-24 June. www.hillhead.com Caterpillar launches Safety.cat.com Caterpillar has launched SAFETY.CAT.COM, to promote the safety and health of everyone in, on or around Caterpillar products. It is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese and reinforces safety messages found in the company’s official Operation and Maintenance Manuals. The site also covers the world of safety in motion. Caterpillar videos on walk around inspections and operating tips are available on demand from one online source. Other offerings include OMM excerpts, multimedia pieces, and toolbox talks on a variety of safety topics. Stone adds diamond saw blades The US company Stone Construction Equipment, Inc has added a line of diamond saw blades to complement its range of masonry and concrete saws. The new saw blade line covers the most common sizes for the vast majority of cutting applications. The 26 primarily general purpose blades in the line fall into two categories, Saw-lect the value line, and Saw-preme the premium line. The laser welded blades are extremely well balanced and flatter delivering faster, straighter cuts, the first time, every time. The blades range in size from 305mm to 508mm, with bond ratings from 3 to 8 to cut brick, block, stone, cured concrete, green concrete, asphalt and asphalt over concrete. The blades fit all 25mm arbours and can be used wet or dry. They fit both Stone saw lines, and the majority of the blades can also be used on high speed saws. www.stone-equip.com Where music and demolition met, for one last time… The iconic Astoria music venue in the heart of London’s theatre land has played host to some of the biggest bands in the music business. In its 30-year history, the Astoria’s 2,000 capacity venue played host to everyone from the Beach Boys and David Bowie to current stars such as Amy Winehouse, Oasis and the Arctic Monkeys. But as preparation for London’s Crossrail project gathers pace, the venue hosted its last-ever gig. Even as concert goers were queuing, amid TV and radio journalists capturing the moment for posterity, scaffolding was being put in place to facilitate the demolition works. Bizarrely, in the middle of all this, a music journalist for BBC Radio, who was there to see the demolition, was interviewing PDi’s Mark Anthony, who was there purely to watch the bands. New dumpers from AUSA In response to customer demand, Spanish construction equipment manufacturer AUSA has recently launched two new 2.5t articulated rotating dumpers, the D 250 AHGA and the D 250 AHG, which complete its line of dumpers. The dumpers have been designed specially for the Central European and Scandinavian markets, where there is a strong demand for high performance machines, the company claims. www.ausa.com New supplier in Australia Asia Pacific with focus on Australia and New Zealand has got a new supplier of concrete cutting and construction machinery in the newly formed company Traxx Construction Products. Traxx is essentially a group of well-know individuals in this industry in Australia headed by Lloyd Williams.
