BMG range now includes newly
launched Dinamic Oil products
BMG’s extensive range of drives and motors encompasses newly launched prod-
ucts from Dinamic Oil, leading manufacturers of hoisting winches and planetary
gearboxes.
New to the range are Dinamic Oil high performance HyPer gearboxes and an
electronic load detection system for precise control and enhanced safety.
“HyPer gearboxes combine Dinamic Oil’s GB series gearboxes with the modu-
lar advantages provided by parallel shaft and helical bevel gearboxes, as well as
gear motors,” says Bryan Pickles, BMG’s Brand Manager. “These new combined
unit gearboxes offer high torque to weight ratios for optimum performance in
diverse applications, including conveyor drives, construction, mining and quar-
ries, marine tensioners, industrial and marine lifting equipment and machines for
steel production plants and sugar mills.”
This flexible combined unit has an output torque up to 3 million Nm, a ratio
starting from 40 and electric motor-inverter combinations up to 22 kW.
The new electronic load detection system, which is mounted on the winch
structure, uses an analogue or digital signal to control torque, as well as to pre-
cisely control the lifting and lowering load. This flexible system permits load
control of the crane’s winch, while displaying its value on the remote control.
This enables easy movement and ensures optimum safety.

Goodyear develops tyre for new
Volvo articulated dump truck
Goodyear has developed the new Off-The-Road (OTR) tyre TL-4A in size 33.25R29
for the new Volvo A60H articulated dump truck (ADT) – the largest in the Volvo
ADT range. The two companies have worked together to develop and produce
OTR tyres specifically for the 60-ton class articulated dump truck.
Volvo’s experience of the outstanding traction offered by the Goodyear
TL-3A+ OTR tyres led to a request for a new OTR tyre suitable for the A60H. The
basis for the newly developed OTR tyre was the successful TL-3A+. The Goodyear
engineers ensured that the TL-4A offers optimised forward and lateral traction
while at the same time providing superior ride comfort.
Its non-directional tread design has a wide footprint for maximum contact
with the surface and excellent stability along with exceptional self-cleaning char-
acteristics, says Goodyear.
