Perkins will launch its brand new generation of Tier-4 Final diesel engines at ConExpo 2011, March 22-26 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas. The show, the largest construction exhibition in the western hemisphere, is expected to attract more than 140,000 industry professionals.
At the show, Perkins will launch its first Tier-4 Final diesel engines to OEMs and end users. Flexibility, machine integration, dependable power and a lifetime of low costs have been very much at the forefront of the design, development and manufacture of these engines, the company said.
On display at Perkins stand 16329B in the South Hall will be 1206E-E70TTA and 1204E-E44TTA Tier 4 Interim / Stage IIIB engines.
The 1200 Series is a range of four- and six-cylinder engines that start at 88 hp and top out at 300 hp, making them suited to power medium- to heavy-duty construction applications and mid-horsepower tractors in the agricultural sector.
The company will also display its 850 Series, compact four-cylinder models that offer a choice between 60 hp and 115 hp. With the trend for downsizing machines, the increased power density of the 850 Series allows equipment manufacturers to select this engine where previously they may have used an engine of higher cubic capacity, freeing up space to package the after-treatment unit.
ConExpo 2011 will also be the first showing of Perkins’ new Tier 4 Interim / Stage IIIB-compliant range of Industrial Open Power Units —a turnkey power package comprising engine, aftertreatment, radiator, air cleaner and optional compressor.
The 1204 IOPU features the 1204E-E44TTA, a 4.4-liter, four-cylinder engine. Capable of producing up to 173.5 hp, the air-to-air charge cooled engine provides extra power density and faster response in a compact package, offering maximum productivity combined with low cost of operation and maintenance.
