A TITAN MANUFACTURING PROMOTION

Titan by name, Titan by natureTITAN MANUFACTURING MAY HAVE STARTED OUT AS A TWO PERSON OPERATION, BUT THE COMPANY HAS GROWN IMMENSELY OVER THE PAST DECADE AND NOW PROVIDES A WIDE RANGE OF QUALITY LOW LOADERS THAT ARE IN USE ALL OVER AUSTRALIA.

While Titan Manufacturing was started

only 13 years ago, its experience in

the industry dates back almost four

decades. In fact, the company’s owners,

Doug and Margaret Phillips, started

an earthmoving business with a single

truck in 1972, before launching Titan

Manufacturing 25 years later.

As the earthmoving business became

more and more successful, Doug

and Margaret identified a need for a

construction equipment manufacturing

company to fill a gap in the marketplace.

Titan Manufacturing was launched to

provide purpose built heavy machinery,

repair services and spare parts. This

range has grown to include a wide

range of single, tandem, tri and quad

axle low loaders; dog trailers; drop deck

trailers; and spread deck low loaders

– all custom built to suit its customer’s

requirements. And Titan Manufacturing

lays claim to the fastest delivery times

in the industry, with a build time of

approximately eight weeks from the

date of order on all low loaders, and

three weeks on tag trailers.

In addition, after a recent research

and development trip to Asia,

Doug witnessed a range of modern

technology used to enhance Korean

production lines and has now adopted

the same state-of-the-art computer-

aided drafting and design programs.

Queensland company, Budden

Contractors, purchased a quad axle

spread deck low loader and dolly from

Titan Manufacturing earlier this year, its

first trailer from the manufacturer. Based

in Chinchilla, the company now operates

three low loaders and a range of tippers.

Director of Budden Contractors, Noel

Budden explains, “We are in the

harvesting and haulage business and

also do a great deal of float work for

the various natural resource sites around

Chinchilla which are really booming at

the moment, carting all sorts of odd

shapes and sizes. The trailer is used to

cart a wide variety of machinery, from

graders, compactors and rollers, to

excavators and dump trucks – you name

it, we’ve carried it on the Titan trailer.”

The 11m Titan low loader with dolly was

received and put to work around five

months ago and is capable of carrying

up to 48 tonne. “While we hadn’t

dealt with Titan before, we found

their prices to be very competitive and

their product to be great quality. Titan

gave us the flexibility to order to suit

our requirements so that the finished

product was exactly what we were after.

There were changes to the floor, extra

tie down points added and we were

able to specify the axle configuration

we were after,” says Noel.

Ozebilt Beams guarantees

at agreed prices and times.

The automated

welding procedure

guarantees

a constant,

stronger, deep

penetration weld.

The process is applicable to manufacturing most styles of chassis - drop decks, flat tops, A-leads, B-tags, tippers, tankers, dog & pig trailers.

Having your chassis rails supplied by Ozebilt beams, we can take nearly a week out of the build process, which shortens the lead time - which is what manufacturing is all about - adding value faster.

Ozebilt Beams can be supplied to suit almost any application - including structural beams and architectual beams.

Chassis production is a bottle neck for a lot of companies ... they can now be supplied with their chassis ready made, saving production time and providing the means to compete for bigger orders.

The automated welding procedure uses a deep penetration weld process to Australian Standard AS 1554.1:2004, enabling a 4-5mm weld fillet, instead of the usual 8-10mm. This allows for a cleaner line, with less structural distortion, without sacrificing the integrity of the weld.

feature Scania Euro 6

GoinG thenext stepSwedish truck manufacturer, Scania, has already made some euro 6 trucks available on the european market well ahead of its introduction in 2013. tim Giles speaks to the engineer responsible for the new models’ engine at the company’s HQ.

The series of exhaust emission regulation changes of the past 20 years have come thick and fast. the latest emission reduction

to affect europe will be introduced in 2013. euro 6 sees a reduction in nitrogen oxides allowed and a sizeable tightening on the amount of particulate matter in exhaust gases. Scania’s development team in Sodertalje, just outside Stockholm in Sweden, explained to Prime Mover

what has had to be done to the engine systems over the line to meet the latest regulations.euro 6 comes into effect as of 1 January 2013 for new models and extends to all truck models in europe on 1 January 2014. Scania has already released some of the new models onto the european truck market in anticipation of some

governments offering incentives to trucking operators who moved to the cleaner trucks earlier than they are mandated. Low emission incentives were effective in bringing forward the adoption of euro 5 technology in many countries in europe. however, no major european country has yet announced any measure, either reduced road tax or reduced road tolls.the european Union only recently finalised the euro 6 emission level figures first suggested in July 2009, giving truck manufacturers a tight deadline. Apart from the usual limits of allowable pollutants in exhaust gases, a new kind of limit was introduced. this restricts the number of individual particles permitted to be emitted. nitrogen oxides are reduced by 80% when compared to euro 5 levels, down to 0.4g per kilowatt hour. Particulate matter is halved to 0.01g per kilowatt

hour with carbon monoxide unchanged at 1.5 and hydrocarbons reduced by 75% to 0.13.“euro 6 has been, and is, a challenge to us,” says Bjorn Westman, Scania’s engineering Director, head of engine Development. “in practice, the mass limit for particulates has made the amount of particulate matter the engines can emit much smaller than the regulators imagined, i think. When we started looking at euro 6, particulate counting was not on the table. Different scenarios with nitrogen oxide levels and particulate matter mass were discussed along with their effects on fuel economy.“the politicians set the limits knowing it would drive a 2% fuel economy penalty when compared to continuing with euro 5. it was clear to us it would be possible to achieve half the particular mass emissions without

having to use diesel particulate filters (DPF). the authorities did not like that, they wanted to push diesel particulate filters on all diesel vehicles. So they added in the particulate number count. So the industry was forced to add particulate filters. DPF’s add maintenance costs, exhaust back pressures and a further loss in fuel efficiency.”the new european legislation also specified a new ‘World harmonised’ test cycle to be used when assessing trucks for the new regulations. the new test includes much more simulated city driving, and tests both cold and warm engines. this increases the level of difficulty for the truck manufacturers as DPFs have to work even harder in stop start operation. the new test cycle is the toughest of its kind in the world, surpassing the strict Japanese testing procedures. in the past

higher particulate matter levels were allowed in transient cycles with lower levels specified when the vehicle was stationary.the cleanliness of the new exhaust gas particulate filters can be demonstrated by the fact the paper filters are completely clean after 30 minutes operation when compared with the same filter from a euro 5 engine. Further proof of the much improved particulate matter output in the euro 6 engines is in the fact the new exhaust pipes are completely clean inside and over time will become rusty rather than dirty.“Politicians are not supposed to push technology but they have clearly done that in this case,” says Bjorn. “We now have to deal with a regulation which limits us to 800 billion particles per kilowatt hour. this is hard to count, and measurement technology has been

tough to develop to meet this new part of the rules.“however, we do believe that euro 6 is the last major step in the reduction of particulates in exhaust gases. We think the next step in exhaust emission regulation will concentrate on carbon dioxide. even without euro 6 we have seen a huge drop in the level of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted by truck engines out on the roads.”So far, Scania has released two engines from its range as euro 6, the 440 and 480 hp 13 litre. the company says its new engines will achieve the same fuel economy possible with its euro 5 product. this has been achieved by changing the eGR settings in a way that increases nitrogen oxide emissions but also increases fuel economy, running more efficiently. the increased nitrogen oxides are cleaned up by

True to its word

As the son of highly regarded horse trainer

John Hawkes of Hawkes Racing, Wayne

Hawkes was surrounded by trucks from quite

a young age and is now a well-known horse

trainer himself.

“Since I was about 10 years of age, I travelled

around the country with Goldners Horse

Transport from Adelaide – and that’s how the

trucks started for me,” says Wayne. “I always

said I was going to own the biggest and best

float company around – but that went by the

wayside and I became a horse trainer instead,

before establishing Tailored Freight, so it all

just marries together really well.”

The opportunity to start Tailored Freight

arose when Wayne’s long time friend, Todd

Moraitis, was working for his uncle Nick at

the Melbourne fruit market. At the time

a new supermarket depot was being built

on the Albury and Wodonga border and

Todd’s uncle needed to have some freight

transported.

“Todd knew everything there is to know

about fruit and vegetables so that’s basically

how it started,” says Wayne, who began

Tailored Freight with Todd in mid 2006. “The

business almost started overnight.”

Tailored Freight began with four employees

and now employs 11. Based near the

Footscray market in Melbourne, Tailored

Freight began its life with two B-doubles,

towed by a second hand 2005 Mack Vision

prime mover and a brand new Freightliner

Argosy – both of which still have their place

in the fleet today.

Before long, the demand placed on the two

vehicles had increased and there was a need

to implement a third vehicle within the first

six months of the company’s operations. This

year another two vehicles were added to the

Tailored FreighT was born Five and a halF years ago when Two besT maTes made The decision To sTarT Their own TransporT business To service The needs oF melbourne’s Fresh produce markeTs. and according To iTs Founders, The business has been based on qualiTy raTher Than quanTiTy From The very beginning.

It is much easier for drivers to just push a button rather than have to hand wind landing legs. We split our B-double sets all the time so the Razor legs certainly do get a work out.

fleet, bringing the total number of prime movers to five

and the total number of trailers up to 11.

Tailored Freight now operates nine insulated tautliners

and two refrigerated pantech trailers which all operate

as B-doubles, servicing the Melbourne, Wodonga and

Shepparton districts as well as all the distribution centres

in between. Fruit and vegetable cartage accounts for

approximately 90 per cent of operations, while general

cartage takes up the remaining 10 per cent.

And while there has been several opportunities for

the company to travel interstate, Wayne says that

the company’s fleet is geared to service the needs of

Victoria. “We don’t want to be the biggest but we are

trying to be the best,” he says. “It is easy to get too big

and lose sight of the big picture. We are quite happy to

stay around this sort of number of trucks.”

Every trailer in the fleet has been manufactured by

Freighter, with all but one trailer purchased brand new.

The most recent trailer purchased is a second hand

Freighter trailer that has been completely refurbished.

All vehicles in the fleet operate seven days a week and

the business is open every day of the year except for

Christmas Day and Good Friday. “Horse training is no

different to the fruit and vegetable market, it also runs

seven days a week so the two work hand in hand,”

Wayne says.

Glare Horizontally reflected light such as sunlight or artificial light including car headlamps can create annoying and sometimes dangerous glare. Glare can be extremely dangerous even in foggy or overcast conditions. Kenworth sunglasses cut glare and aid in reducing user eye-strain.

Polarised LensesThese lenses contain a special built-in filter designed to reduce intense reflected light from non-metallic surfaces such as vehicle glass, painted surfaces, roads and water.

Photochromic LensesKenworth sunglasses feature photochromic lenses that darken automatically according to light conditions. They also protect your eyes from 100 percent of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet UVA / UVB radiation.

Anti-reflective treatmentA state-of-the-art coating on the inside of the lenses helps reduce the glare from internal lights caused by light bouncing off the lens to your pupil.

De-centered lenses De-centred lenses are calibrated to balance out the distortion

effect caused by curved lenses. This enables the user to see up or down or straight ahead without experiencing any optical distortion.

Product RangeThe Kenworth range of sunglasses consists of six modern styled lightweight black or tortoise shell frames in a comfortable wrap around shape.The lenses are glass or polycarbonate in a grey or copper colour. Prescription glasses are also available on request.

NTC Chief Officer Projects, Meena Naidu will take on a temporary

role as Acting Project Director in a secondment to the COAG Road Reform Plan (CRRP) team.Ms Naidu will utilise her knowledge and experience in heavy vehicle pricing in her new role, and is excited to be joining the team. “I’m looking forward to continuing to engage with all levels of government and industry stakeholders to build on the work carried out to date and develop implementable options to

progress COAG’s road reform agenda,” says Meena.The CRRP project aims to promote a more efficient provision and use of heavy freight infrastructure in the face of a rapidly increasing amount of freight on Australian roads. A feasibility study investigating alternative arrangements for heavy vehicle road pricing and funding takes centre stage in the project. The study was completed in December 2011 and will now be considered for endorsement by the Council of

Australian Governments (COAG).A range of alternative charging models were considered in the study, aimed at better aligning the road prices charged with the actual costs imposed by a vehicle on the roads (based on the mass carried, distance travelled and types of roads used). “We’re pleased to have Meena join the CRRP project team and look forward to working with her as we prepare for COAG’s direction on the feasibility study,” says Gary Liddle, CRRP Project Board Chairman. ■

Hino Dealer of the Year Awards

At the Hino Dealer of the Year Awards, Hino Motor Sales

Australia named Brisbane-based Sci-Fleet as the Hino metropolitan dealer of the year and Bendigo Truck Centre as the regional dealer of the year for 2011.The awards were announced at an official gala awards dinner in Sydney on Friday, 20 April 2012.The awards were presented by President and Chief Operating Officer of Hino Australia, Steve Lotter. Sci-Fleet Dealer Principal, Craig Andersson, accepted the metropolitan award; and Dealer Principal of Bendigo Truck Centre, Steve Elliott, accepted the regional award.Mr Lotter said the 2011 awards were particularly important considering the number of challenges faced throughout the year.“These awards recognise the dedication of the Hino dealer network, especially in the wake of a number of significant natural disasters in 2011 – both at home

and in Japan,” he said.“Our dealers were all impacted by stock shortages following the devastating Japanese earthquake and tsunami, but their strong resolve and commitment to customers saw sales recover strongly.“Craig and the team at Sci-Fleet are to be congratulated on their achievements - especially given the dealership was severely damaged in

the January 2011 Brisbane floods.“It was also pleasing to see Steve Elliott and his team at Bendigo win the regional dealer of the year award – their dealership continues to go from strength to strength and we congratulate them on their success.”Both Mr Andersson and Mr Elliott recognised the hard work and dedication of their staff in winning their awards. ■

A British film crew has visited Scania to shoot an episode for Discovery Channel’s popular show “How do they do it?” The episode will run for about 10 minutes and will be broadcast throughout the world.The theme is Scania’s prestigious V8 truck. “The film crew will document machining work on the engine, how the engine is assembled, tested and finally assembled with the chassis

and cab as a complete truck off the assembly line,” said Patrik Rask at Scania Visits Management.Discovery Channel’s “How do they do it?” goes behind the scenes to discover how things are done and made. Previous episodes have, for example, covered such diverse subjects as accordions, cricket bats, submarine rescue and how hotels always manage to have hot

water in showers.Patrik Rask is experienced in assisting television crews in filming in Scania’s production facilities. “My role is not only to show TV crews the very best we have to offer, but also to provide a fair balance between the photographer’s need for the best shots and our interest in not interrupting production or causing accidents.” ■

Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) has announced the appointment of Koichi Yoda as Managing Director and CEO, replacing Masayuki (Yuki) Murata who held the position for eight years.Mr Yoda, who officially took over the role on 1 April, has an extensive background with Isuzu Motors Limited, including several senior positions.He began his career at Isuzu in 1980 after completing a law degree. After nine years at Isuzu Motors, Japan, he transferred to American Isuzu Motors Inc.Mr Yoda worked in North America for seven years and held positions that included CFO of American Isuzu Motors Inc.When he returned to Japan, he took on several senior roles including General Manager for the GM Project Department, and later worked at the North American Operations Department.He was appointed CEO of GM Isuzu Camiones Andinos (Colombia and Ecuador) before once again returning to Japan in 2011 to take on the responsibility of Associate Division Executive for Export Sales

Division No. 1.Mr Yoda said he is looking forward to the opportunities and challenges the Australian role will bring. “The Australian market is an extremely important one for Isuzu Motors,” he said.“With 23 years of consecutive truck market leadership here, the Isuzu brand has a tremendous presence and history in this country. Our strong performance in Australia over many years is certainly held in the highest

regard by Isuzu Motors, Japan.”According to Mr Yoda, the Australian market is unique and although IAL enjoys a strong position here, there are future challenges to overcome. “Australia is a sophisticated and mature market,” he said. “Regulatory requirements are strict and many manufacturers compete here. A few years ago the bulk of Isuzu’s direct competition came from Japanese manufactures, but more recently Korean companies have entered the market along with some Chinese competitors.“With the increasing competitive pressure it’s important that Isuzu continues to provide customers with a total offering – it’s not just about the product itself but the support services we can provide our customers.”Outgoing Managing Director and CEO, Yuki Murata, has been assigned to Europe to take on the role of Chairman, Isuzu Motors Europe Ltd. “I’ve been fortunate to have worked with IAL for eight years and will have many fond memories of my time here,” he said. “I have no doubt that IAL’s success will continue under Yoda.” ■

The Newman LNP Government has underlined its commitment to

fix the Bruce Highway. Queensland Premier Campbell Newman announced the membership of the Bruce Highway Crisis Management Group, bringing together state and federal representatives, motoring groups and local authorities to act as one for a concerted and relentless campaign to upgrade the Bruce Highway.“The LNP team committed to making safety and flood immunity the fundamental priorities of our 10 year Crisis Action Plan for the Bruce Highway,” Mr Newman said. “We have already committed $1 billion of state

funds for the Bruce Highway on the condition the Federal Government urgently brings forward expenditure to fix this link within 10 years, so now they need to step up to the plate.”The Premier said that three Local Government representatives would be added to complement the group, once the outcome of the April 28 Council elections was known.The Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ) recently found around 60 per cent of deaths on Queensland’s National Highways occurred on the Bruce Highway. Peak motoring body RACQ estimates without urgent action 350 people

will die on the Bruce Highway in the next 10 years and more than 5000 will be injured.The LNP is leading the campaign to call for an all-out effort to get Federal Government funds for the upgrading of the state’s main National Highway.As a priority the Government will task the Department of Main Roads to compile a proper engineering-based 10-year ‘Crisis Action Plan’ to address the Bruce Highway crisis.According to the Queensland Premier, the ‘Crisis Action Plan’ will be completed within the first six months of the LNP Government. ■

The heavy haulage industry will soon be able to benefit from a

new ‘one stop shop’ for heavy vehicle permit matters and a $250,000 State Government initiative to underground power lines over the Great Northern Highway.Transport Minister Troy Buswell said the creation of the one stop shop at Main Roads WA would end the need for transport operators to deal with three or four separate agencies to obtain permits for a single shift.“Feedback from the industry was that red tape was causing significant delays when planning the movement of over-sized loads across the State’s road network,” Mr Buswell

said. “Given the significance of the resources industry to the Western Australian economy, we need to make sure Government does what it can to allow the heavy haulage industry to operate as efficiently as possible.According to Mr Buswell, the creation of the one stop shop for permits will mean that a transport operator will only have to make one application to Main Roads WA in order to obtain an Oversize Load Permit, a Police Escort and get a referral to Western Power for power line clearance.The Minister said the industry had complained to the Government for several years about the cost of the

temporary lifting of the lines to allow oversized loads to pass through.“To assist the industry the State Government, through Main Roads WA, has provided funding to Western Power to underground eight lines which cross Great Northern Highway between Perth and Newman,” Mr Buswell said. “The heavy haulage industry agrees that these eight lines, which have a height clearance of less than 6.5m, are problematic for efficient operations.Mr Buswell said work to underground the lines was expected to be completed by the end of May 2012 and could potentially save operators up to $15,000 per trip. ■

The latest road deaths Australia report reveals that the average

national monthly road toll has continued to fall, with March 2012 showing a 7.1 per cent decrease in fatalities from March 2011.Produced by the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics, the road deaths

Australia reports are produced monthly, and compare road death data from the last five years to the current month.The March report shows that in the 12 month period from March 2011 to March 2012, the national road toll was 1301, compared to 1328 fatalities in the year March 2010 to

March 2011. Males made up over two-thirds of the toll.Per head of population, the Northern Territory had the most fatalities, with 20.76 deaths per 100,000 people for March 2011 to March 2012. In comparison, NSW had 5.21 deaths per 100,000 people in the same period. ■

The Northern Territory Government has rejected a national agreement

to increase many truck and trailer registration charges from 1 July.Under the national agreement, Australia’s transport ministers agreed to increase some charges by more than 30 per cent. The effective fuel tax on the industry will increase by 10.4 per cent, or 2.4 cents per litre.

Earlier this month, the NT Minister for Lands and Planning, Gerry McCarthy, wrote to the Northern Territory Road Transport Association, an Australian Trucking Association (ATA) member, saying the territory government would not implement the national registration charge increase.Instead, the NT will increase registration charges by a flat 3.7

per cent, and reduce charges on A-trailers to match semi-trailers. It will defer the increases until 1 January 2013. The NT Government has no control over the fuel tax rate.ATA Chairman, David Simon, said the NT Government had shown the way forward on truck charges, because many operators will struggle to deal with the 10.4 per cent increase decided nationally. ■

The National Transport Commission (NTC) recently sponsored the

‘Strongest Link’ luncheon aimed at educating young women about career opportunities in the supply chain and logistics industry.NTC Chief Officer Policy, Meena Naidu and Senior Policy Analyst, Jane Cureton represented the NTC at the event, which was attended by female high school students from several schools in the northern and western suburbs of Melbourne.“The NTC are proud to have been

able to sponsor this event and support an initiative to attract more women to consider a career in supply chain or logistics field,” said Ms Naidu. “This sector continues to thrive and expand and it is important that young people are aware of the exciting careers available so we can ensure the future prosperity of the industry.”The luncheon was hosted by Victoria University’s Institute for Supply and Logistics and also attended by those already working in the

field in various industries and the government sector. These attendees were able to share their experiences with the students and highlight the career opportunities available.“The speakers at the event illustrated the diversity of positions available in the supply chain and logistics field – in areas such as defense and fashion,” said Ms Cureton. “Women are under-represented in this industry and the luncheon was a great way to demonstrate the exciting opportunities available.” ■
