If you haven’t registered for the CEA’s PLANTWORX trade show at Stoneleigh Park next week (14-16 May) please do so now at www.plantworx.co.uk.
Advertisement over…. I am delighted at how our industry has joined together to support our own trade event. We stopped the clock at 260 exhibitors from right across the construction equipment industry – and the pre-registrations of visitors are on a very positive upward trajectory. We know we have seen better times in the UK construction industry, but this is our chance to get together and talk business and be proud of what we do. None other than the BBC’s Business Editor, Robert Peston, got it right in his recent blog when he said, “Maybe the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t the oncoming train but the diggers and construction equipment being switched on again”. Amen to that.
And for BBC enthusiasts, be sure to tune in next Tuesday (14th) when the BBC Breakfast business news comes live from PLANTWORX!

Munich, 15 April 2013 – The road construction machine sector has always been an attractive market for Bonfiglioli and the company has done its best to offer advanced solutions to satisfy the needs of leading international players

Stefano Baldi, Worldwide Sales Manager at Bonfiglioli Trasmital explains: “The road construction machinery market is one on which we have done very well over the years. Thanks to reliable products, an innovative offering and high performance solutions we have been able to acquire a well-established and strong position of leadership. This has encouraged us to develop even better solutions that meet the needs of our main customers even more closely.”
Bonfiglioli has clearly taken up the challenge and will be at this year’s Bauma exhibition with a number of important new products for road construction machines.
Milling drive for asphalt milling machines – Bonfiglioli is already an established supplier of travel drives for asphalt milling machines. There are, however, other applications that can benefit from Bonfiglioli’s advanced technology and vast experience in this field. One such application is certainly the milling head drive system. Bonfiglioli is now introducing a two-stage gearmotor with reinforced bearings on the integrated pulley mounting shaft.
The technical specifications for this new solution include an integrated lubrication system that eliminates the conventional system installed in the milling head and maximises lubrication efficiency. There is also an offset input system (an offset pre-stage) to permit greater milling depths and faster tool changes.
This new Bonfiglioli solution is designed for use on asphalt millers of 14.5 to 35 tons in weight and 200 to 460 kW in power. The new drives can support milling speeds of 4 to 6 m/sec and permit milling widths of 1 to 2.5 metres. Read More…

The two smallest buckets of the range have arrived, the MB-S10 screening bucket and the MB-C50 crusher bucket.
Two new innovations from MB, the undisputed world leader for the production and sale of equipment for the earth moving and demolition sectors. The year 2013 has begun with two very interesting innovations in the form of two small treasures that complete the wide range of MB products: the new model MB-S10 Screening Bucket and the brand new MB-C50 Crusher Bucket.
Small, compact, light, the two MB buckets are suitable for midi diggers from 4 to 8 tonnes and are ideal for use on small sites.
The new MB-S10 Screening Bucket weighs 445 kg and has a capacity of 0.6 m3, offering those advantages that only MB products are capable of providing: high quality, reduced management costs and a saving on time. Developed using the same materials and the same technology as the already well-known MB Screening Buckets, the MB-S10 is easy to transport, manoeuvrable and highly competitive and can also be used for gardening work.
