These dynamic demonstrations are used to showcase the equipment's technological performance in real life conditions.

Some of the companies who will participate at INTERMAT 2012 and display their offerings are briefed here:

ASCOREL has devoted itself to the development, installation and maintenance of electronic systems designed to enhance control and safety in civil engineering machines as well as lifting and fire-fighting equipment. Ascorel's latest innovation includes new version of the MC602, Giant Display Screen and AIR BEACONS.

The MC602 allows optimized management of mobile cranes. The latest innovations in this area focus on the automation of machines positioning and on the optimization of cranes workspaces.

The new version will let you move freely mobile crane on your site without wasting time linked to the reprogramming of systems. When moving a mobile crane, the coordinates of the new positions are filled in its anti-collision system and are then automatically transmitted to all the machines around. This is a significant step which leads to save up to several hours for each repositioning of a machine on site. It reduces human intervention, increases accuracy and reduces the operating cost of the system. This development now allows Ascorel to consider in a short-term the management of real-time positioning of machine on construction site through the use of GPS technology.

MC602 new version introduces an optimized anti-collision management which enables you to significantly increase the possible movements when tower crane and mobile cranes are protected by the system.

Giant Display Screen is intended to be installed in the middle of the mast crane turn that will inform the site of the wind speed in real-time. It will be installed on any type of cranes (Link 4-20mA or CANopen). A standalone version will be available with an anemometer sensor connected directly. A screen test is already on site installed on a Liebherr crane, and will soon be on a Potain as well.

AIR BEACONS complies with air obstruction marking and lighting regulations established by the AOCI and with the "Red Obstruction Lighting System". Our full suite of obstruction marking and lighting products is approved by the French Department of Environmental protection, Sustainable Development, transportation and Housing. The ruggedness of the materials we use allows our products to have a good resistance to corrosion. A lighting protection is built into the power supply and the power cord.

Group Mecalac, the French building machinery manufacturer currently using the brands of Mecalac and Ahlmann, will now distribute all of its product groups exclusively under the single Mecalac brand.

Mecalac is one of the world's most innovative building machinery manufacturers in the field of mobile earthmoving equipment and the market leader for compact mobile excavators in France. Ahlmann is the only manufacturer worldwide to produce all designs of wheel loader, including articulated, all-wheel and swing loaders.

At Intermat Mecalac will showcases a new telescopic swing loader, the AS 900tele. The 63 kW loader with bucket volumes of 0.9 to 1.4 m³, is suitable for work with a lifting height of up to 4.72 m and a reach of up to 3.5 m. In spite of these benefits, it needs only little space for one duty cycle.


The AS 900tele can swivel its telescopic arm to both sides by up to 90°. This increases the working range considerably or allows for work steps completely impossible to carry out with a standard telescopic loader. Due to the particularly stable design, the AS 900tele is released for operation with all standard attachments over the entire swivelling and telescoping range. A computer-controlled overload alarm is available as an option.

In addition, Mecalac will display a new Mecalac rapid crawler machine 10MCR. On the same technological basis of the 8MCR: a triangular crawlers chassis, a turret with total rotation equipped with the Mecalac patented kinematics and an operating speed of 10km/h, the 10MCR, 9,0 tonnes, is particularly suitable for work requiring high performance in digging and handling.

CHRONO Flex, a leader in on-site hydraulic hose repair 24/7, has an integrated network of 180 technicians offering an emergency service with mobile workshop.

Any company using hydraulic equipment can be confronted with a hydraulic hoses break on its equipment. It can paralyze a whole construction site and a whole team because the equipment becomes then unusable. As a national network offering local solutions, CHRONO Flex provides a 24/7 service directly on site. First they diagnose the hose break, than dismantle and make a new brand hose identical to the initial one and assemble it on the equipment. In order to reduce the number of hose break on site, the company offers a preventive maintenance service.

GradoCero Group is the manufacturer of heavy duty excavator buckets and patented Go Max quick couplers. One of their divisions is also performing large rock excavation and trenching projects in the North of Spain. Due to this unique combination, they were able to invent and develop a completely new and 100% reliable, efficient and maintenance-free attachment, the Xcentric® Ripper, which will do excavation and demolition of asphalt or concrete roads and floors in less time, for lower cost and with a minimum of noise.

The Xcentric® RIPPER is developed with a patented impact vibration accumulation technology, which makes it in 85 % of the job applications more productive than any Hydraulic Breaker available on the market.

Ramtec, a specialist in the design and manufacture of a wide range of innovative machinery and attachments for demolition application, has recently enlarged its products range and will brings its existing and new machines at Intermat. The new range is a complete hammer line. Product line consists of three products ranges namely MH, BH and EH series.

At the show the company plans to display number of machines and attachments that include CG20 crusher grapple, BH30C hydraulic hammer, MP19 multiprocessor, DG15 demolition grapple and MM062 screening bucket. They all combine a number of key features: sustainability for various jobs, ease of use and service and high-quality Finnish manufacturing skills.
