One of the most sought after features in a construction equipment these days is productivity. A large number of projects have to be completed in the specified time frame. This require equipment that can work efficiently and bring in maximum productivity. Components, spares and accessories that go in a machine play a vital role in bringing in efficiency and productivity of that equipment. Hydraulic motor is a major component that brings in the desired productivity in a heavy construction equipment. So it is imperative for the equipment OEMs to source these motors with improved design and features.

The Special Focus section brings in the importance of hydraulic motors and how the manufacturers are bringing innovative designs and new features in their products. To be more productive and cost-effective at the same time is what customers are looking for, when they choose a product. For this, new technology innovators mostly focus on making components more and more efficient. The manufacturers are focused on continued innovation to offer the best solution. Now the technology is improving further in the direction of weight and size reduction. Special materials are being used to reduce total weight of the motor which improves fuel efficiency of the machine. Proper sizing is a major factor in motor selection. Under-sized motor will not be able to control the load, leading to overshoot and ringing. In the case of an oversized motor, it may control the load, but it will also be bigger, as well as more expensive in terms of price and cost
of operations. 

Hydraulic seals provide a leak-proof operation and efficient performance of the hydraulic system of an equipment. The Technology section elaborates on the new sealing solutions offered by Trelleborg. Attachments in construction equipment provides versatility to the machine. In the Interaction, the MB India CEO provides various aspects of attachments in construction equipment and how attachments from MB bring in productivity and cost efficiency to
the customer.
