bauma China: Despite slowdown CE industry is Intact
Despite a slowing down in the pace of economic growth, bauma China 2012- the sixth edition of the International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Construction Vehicles and Equipment that held in Shanghai, has once again proved itself as a veritable "hot spot" for the construction equipment industry. The fair had a record-breaking number of exhibitors All in all, 2,718 exhibitors from 38 countries (2010: 1,858 exhibitors from 37 countries) took part in this edition which represents an increase of 46 percent whereas around 180,000 visitors (2010: 155,615 visitors) attended the show which is an increase of 16 percent from previous year. For the first time ever, bauma China occupied all of the exhibition space – a total of 300,000 square meters. This is 30 percent more than the last one. Hence, the show proved its success all the ways by having more visitors, more exhibitors, and more exhibition space.
Commenting on this success, Eugen Egetenmeir, Managing Director of Messe München, who was very much satisfied from the show, said that "bauma China braved all market tendencies. In this respect, it was held just at the right time. The show once again proved to be the key business platform for companies to tap into the Chinese market, as well as Greater Asia."

This show provided us a wonderful opportunity to connect with our customers and demonstrate our commitment to the China market. We are very pleased with the number of customers who visited and the interest generated from our display."
While Federico Pagliacci, Development Vice President, SOILMEC S.p.A., Italy said "The results of participating in bauma China 2012 met with our expectations and targets, which were to meet our traditional customers and introduce our company and our product range to potential new customers in a warm a pleasant location. In general, we have to underscore the high attendance in terms of Chinese and overseas customers, all of them interested in our products and new technologies. We consider bauma China one of the most important exhibitions in the Far East and Australasia regions, and we plan to participate again in 2014."
Overwhelmed with the show progress, Xuehong Guo, Vice President, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd., China said, "Over the past decade, we have always attended bauma China and have witnessed its continual growth. We can say that bauma China has become the world's second largest trade show for the construction machinery industry, surpassing Intermat and the CONEXPO in Las Vegas. It has proved competent in exhibition space, visitors as well as services. Although the construction market has been in a downturn since last year, there are still large numbers of exhibitors and visitors here this year. bauma China is improving in all kinds of aspects."
With a total number of 1,837 exhibitors, China again provided the largest contingent of exhibitor participation. However, never before have so many international companies participated in bauma China.

Liugong
LiuGong Machinery Corp., the premier China-based construction equipment manufacturer reveals its strength as a full-line producer at bauma China by showing 40 machines from nearly every product line it makes. This is the first time ever the company has displayed such a wealth and variety of equipment including wheel loaders, bulldozers, skid steers, backhoe loaders, forklifts, motor graders, excavators, rollers, drilling machines, cranes, pavers, concrete equipment, mining dump trucks, spare parts and construction pre-stressing systems, in one place. Besides these, the company introduced its E-series excavator and the Dressta dozers to the domestic market for the first time.
The new E series machine is the next generation crawler excavator, following in the tracks of the renowned D-series, with additional power, control and operating efficiencies. It boosts operating efficiency by 5% while reducing fuel consumption by 8% over the previous D-series unveiled last year. The E-series is also a study in power and control, starting with LiuGong's Intelligent Power Control System (IPC). The automatic power boost mode increases digging force by up to 10% for ten-second intervals, giving the operator an "on demand” boost for additional break-out power. The no-time-limit heavy lift system enables the operator to increase pressure to build force and reduce hydraulic flow to the attachment, while reducing speed, for added control during lifting operations. An automatic boom descend regeneration system allows the boom to descend faster, increasing productivity while lowering fuel consumption.
While on the other hand the displayed LiuGong Dressta bulldozers feature powerful, reliable Cummins diesel engines, with advanced electronic fuel injection systems that deliver high torque and superior throttle response across the entire rpm range. They pack the extra power today's demanding construction and material handling customers require, while keeping fuel consumption and maintenance to a minimum. A grid heater ensures dependable cold-weather starts making the machines well suited to operation in harsh climates. The advanced electro-hydraulic steering system features pre-set travel speed selection and automatic downshift – to help keep the operator focused on the work, not the shifting. Dressta's exclusive two-speed steering drive design provides capability of gradual turns with full power to both tracks for increased productivity and less slide across tough terrain.

It can be erected with DJ23 mast sections, which are 2-meter-wide and especially useful for congested jobsites at standard heights and when internal climbing is needed. And it can also use SJ35 mast sections, which are half a meter wider, and more recommended for high rise construction and jobsites where external climbing is necessary.
But what really captivated all visitors was the 110 kW winch exhibited at the booth, which can reach maximum speeds of 178 meters per minute. Its' spectacular drum, with capacity for 1450 meters of wire, drawn everybody's attraction. This winch is available as an option for the 21 CJ 550 24t, COMANSA JIE's biggest tower crane to date, and is very useful for high rise construction due to both speed and wire capacity.
The company received large number of orders a total amount of 8 million US dollars (around 6 million €uro) during the show.

JLG
JLG Industries showcased two new articulated booms models 18RS and 24RS at the show. The 18RS and 24RS are 18 m (60 ft) and 24 m (80 ft) booms with basic specifications and lighter weights than JLG's equivalent 600 Series and 800 Series booms made in the US.
Both models have fixed axles, 360 degree rotation (not continuous), 4WD/2WS and a single 230 kg cage capacity. No jibs are available with the booms. Significant weight reductions also mean that the booms can use smaller engines, with both fitted with Deutz engines: the 24RS uses the same engine as the 600S and the 18RS has the same power plant as the 450 series booms.
The 18RS and 24RS models have been made 2000 kg and 4000 kg lighter, respectively, than the 600 and 800 series machines by using a lighter duty knuckle design similar to that found on JLG's E600 electric articulated boom.
