The region’s most com-prehensive heavy equip-ment show took place this past Thursday and Friday, April 7th and 8th at the Moncton Coliseum Complex. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, this edi-tion of the Atlantic Heavy Equipment Show boasted a vast indoor and outdoor showcase of the latest products, services, and big iron.

With steady crowds on Thursday and record-breaking numbers on Friday, the show saw its largest attendance in the history of the show, with 14,700 visitors!

“Obviously we’re thrilled with the turnout, but we’re also very pleased that exhibitors are report-ing strong sales and solid leads coming out of the show,” said Mark Cusack, National Show Manager.

“Again this year, ex-hibit space was sold out, and the big iron covered some 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor

space. Show visitors were pleased to see so much and such diverse equip-ment, for use by the for-estry, logging, roadbuild-ing, and other heavy equipment industries,” added Cusack.

Visitors walking the show floor had the op-portunity to connect with hundreds of exhibitors displaying cutting-edge equipment. Features for this year’s show includ-ed complimentary cake from the Atlantic Land Improvement Contractors Association (ALICA) in celebration of the show’s milestone anniversary; “Recruiting Here”, con-necting job seekers with exhibitors looking to grow their ranks and hire new employees; and a variety of show-only specials and promotions offered by ex-hibitors at the show.

Additionally, brand new for 2016 was an ex-clusive pre-registration prize showcase. Show visitors who pre-regis-

tered by a specific dead-line received a ballot for a chance to win a prize showcase valued at over $3,000! Prizes included: a Weber BBQ courtesy of Brandt; a plate compac-tor from Maritime Case Ltd; and an iPad Mini + $500 for use at the online Liebherrshop courtesy of Liebherr-Canada Ltd.

Congratulations to the winner of the pre-regis-tration prize showcase, Owen MacDonald of Sum-merside, PEI. Owen pre-registered for the show to receive a ballot in the mail, collected stamps from the three sponsoring exhibi-tors’ booths, and deposited his completed ballot in one of the ballot boxes at the show. His ballot was drawn from well over a thousand entries, and he has won the full prize showcase. b

Materials handling spe-cialists J D Neuhaus (JDN) are set to present their concept study of a new stainless steel air hoist at the CeMAT 2016 interna-tional exhibition. This is the world’s leading trade fair for supply chain man-agement and intralogistics, which takes place in Han-nover, Germany on 31 May to 3 June. Exhibiting as part of the Cranes Pavil-ion in Hall 27 (Stand D68), the company will also be promoting its class-leading service capabilities, giving visitors the opportunity to learn about JDN’s indus-try-proven project planning and maintenance expertise.

Manufactured under the company’s mantra ‘engi-neered for extremes’, thou-sands of JDN pneumatic and hydraulic hoists and crane systems are in ser-vice worldwide, with many operating in harsh condi-tions such as those found on oil and gas platforms, or in mines or foundries. Underwater environments

and extreme temperatures (as low as -45°C) are also familiar territories for JDN products, which are re-nowned for their operation-al reliability under even the most adverse conditions.

Of course, some indoor applications can be just as testing as external ones, particularly when it comes to equipment that needs to operate in extremely clean and hygienic envi-ronments. Indeed, growing demand in this area is what prompted JDN to under-take its conceptual study of a stainless steel air hoist, the results of which will be presented to visitors at Ce-MAT 2016.

There are clear target markets for stainless steel air hoists, such as the food and beverage sector, for ex-ample, as well applications in the chemical, pharma-ceutical, medical and aero-space industries. Visitors to the stand at CeMAT 2016 will see that JDN’s detailed study assesses the benefits

of using compressed air as a method of operation in combination with stain-less steel as the hoist’s construction material. Re-sistance to corrosion and high levels of humidity will therefore be assured, while the products will also be easy to clean and disinfect, even using high-pressure cleaning equipment.

Cleanroom-based users in the optical and semicon-ductor industries would also benefit from the use of a stainless steel air hoist. This is because expelled air is extracted, while a bel-lows is deployed to protect the chain.

The hoists could also be put to work in environ-ments at risk of explosion. The fact that the hoist uses compressed air as the driv-ing media means it is ex-plosion-protected (ATEX), making it suitable for dan-gerous atmospheres and even where organically flammable chemicals are in use.

Stand visitors will also see JDN Service present its extensive capabilities in project planning for maintenance and overhaul work. Among the initia-tives are special spare parts

kits and general overhaul kits that have been pur-pose-designed by the JDN Service team to provide customers with a simplified process for ordering spares. Further aspects of the JDN Service Program include training courses and hoist rental options. Rental is a popular choice if there is a short term demand for

hoists of any capacity.Further highlights of

the JDN display at CeMAT 2016 will include examples of the company’s stan-dard air hoists, such as the best-selling Profi and Mini ranges. The Profi series is designed for heavy-duty in-dustrial applications up to 100 metric tons load capac-ity. Offering 65 or 85 psi air pressure, various explosion

protection classifications are available. Profi hoists feature sensitive, infinitely variable speed control for the precise positioning of loads, as well as easy op-eration, low maintenance requirements and sound absorption.

In contrast, the JDN Mini range widens the range of application in the light duty sector as a handy, flexible

and universally deployable air hoist. The ideal tool for most light engineering workshops, the Mini series offers a selection of load capacities between 275 and 2160 lbs. Designed as a cost effective alternative to hoists that use other driv-ing media, lifting heights of 3, 5 and 8m are available.

JDN’s friendly team of experts will be on hand throughout CeMAT 2016 ready to discuss any spe-cific applications, regard-less of the complexities, and provide an overview of the optimum solutions available.

With over 200 employ-ees across the group, J D Neuhaus GmbH & Co. manufactures pneumati-cally and hydraulically-operated hoists and crane systems up to 115 metric ton capacity from its state-of-the-art facility in Wit-ten, Germany. This glob-ally unique specialization

means that J D Neuhaus has set the quality standard for the market, a move that has seen the company become the established global leader in its technol-ogy field with customers in more than 90 countries worldwide.

Resilience and reliabil-ity are the key product differentiators, thanks largely to their explosive protection rating which makes them ideal for use even in the most challeng-ing of operating environ-ments. Extreme applica-tions include oil and gas exploration in arctic tem-peratures as low as 45°C, along with underwater tasks such as ship hull repairs, and plenty of oth-ers in demanding sectors like mining, the chemical industry, heavy plant con-struction and many areas of logistics.

The wide portfolio of services provided by J D

Neuhaus includes equip-ment assembly, inspection, maintenance and general overhaul, along with the supply of customer train-ing courses.

Over 80% of produc-tion from the Witten plant is exported, which is why the company has long-es-tablished subsidiary com-panies in France, Great Britain, Singapore and the USA, all of which have helped create a tight-knit global network in collabo-ration with international partners.

J D Neuhaus has his-tory that can be traced back to 1745, and is now in its seventh generation of family ownership. Visi-tors to the Hebezeug-Mu-seum (Hoist Museum) in Witten, are able to see for themselves the remark-able history of this pro-gressive company. b

A compact design and powerful performance characteristics – this is the combination that makes the comprehensive AC all terrain crane series by Ter-ex the best choice when it comes to work sites with limited space. This was clearly the case when Wi-esbauer GmbH & Co. KG erected a tower crane at a work site in the Swabian town of Kornwestheim, a project for which the company used its brand new Terex AC 700 crane in order to take advan-tage of precisely these assets. The Bietigheim-Bissingen-based crane service provider carried out the project on behalf of the Mörfelden-Walldorf branch office of construc-tion company Trinac GmbH, which is building a new office building for the Wüstenrot bank in Ko-rnwestheim.

The decision to use the latest acquisition in Wiesbauer’s fleet for

the project was not only based on the AC 700 crane’s technical char-acteristics, but also on logistical considerations: “We had the crane sta-tioned at our headquar-ters in Bietigheim-Bissin-gen precisely at the right time, and Bietigheim-Bissingen is only an hour away from the work site in Kornwestheim,” ex-plains General Manager Thomas Wiesbauer, who manages the company together with his brother Jochen. This meant that traveling to the site with the AC 700 crane was relatively easy, requir-ing only the appropriate travel permit and what in Germany is referred to as a “BF-3 third-generation escort vehicle.” In addi-tion, the unit was accom-panied by an assist crane and four trucks.Setup time: five hours

Just like the trip, set-ting up the AC 700 crane at the work site took a

short time: The seven-person Wiesbauer team, assisted by two Trinac employees, required only five hours to do so despite the tight space conditions. “Like every other Terex crane, this unit was clearly designed with ease of assembly in mind, which is crucial to our ability to deliver when it comes to short assembly and disassem-bly times. In addition, this ease of assembly also plays an important role in the outstanding cost effectiveness of the mod-el, as it makes us more competitive,” points out Jochen Wiesbauer, who definitely speaks from experience – after all, the AC 700 crane he is talking about is the fifth crane in the series in his company already.Hook height: 70 meters

In order to reach the lifting height of up to 70 meters required to erect the tower crane, the Wi-esbauer assembly techni-cians configured the Ter-ex AC 700 crane with an LF main boom extension measuring 26.40 meters, an SSL system with a 30° offset, and 100 tonnes of

counterweight. Once set up this way, the AC 700 crane was perfectly pre-pared to lift all of the tow-er crane’s components.

These components in-cluded not only a large number of relatively light-weight and compact mast sections, but also signifi-cantly more unwieldy ele-ments, such as the slew-ing unit, the two-piece jib, and the counter jib. For example, the lift for the largest load, i.e., the 20.5-tonne slewing unit, required a hook height of 70 meters and a radius of 24 meters. Meanwhile, jib unit 1 was slightly less heavy at exactly 20 tonnes. However, its over-all length of 40 meters made it much more diffi-cult to handle, requiring it to be perfectly balanced. The lift for this unit re-quired a hook height of 70 meters as well. In contrast, the hook height when lifting jib section 2 was slightly lower at 66 meters. And although this 8.5-tonne component was considerably lighter than the first jib section, it was also longer at 45 me-ters. In addition, the cor-responding lift was per-

formed with a maximum radius of up to 40 meters. “When lifting loads with these types of dimen-sions, it’s not enough to just rely on the crane op-erator’s expert touch. You also need a crane with extraordinary precision. And with its easy-to-use and tremendously respon-sive controls, the AC 700 proved to be the perfect machine for the job,” re-ports crane operator Gün-ther Mühleck.Project duration: five days

This was one of the important advantages that enabled the Wies-bauer team to complete the job on schedule within the required time frame of five days, which included setting up and disassembling the AC 700 crane. “Of course, we’d already assumed that we wouldn’t be run-ning into any problems – after all, we know exact-ly what the Terex cranes in this series are capable of,” summarizes Thomas Wiesbauer, who is more than satisfied with the debut of his company’s latest acquisition. b

When Ruben James ar-rived in Melbourne, KY in the summer of 2013, he had a number in mind: 500.

CHS, the farmer-owned agribusiness cooperative, had named James to set up a barge terminal at mile 457 on the Ohio Riv-er, near Cincinnati. The company had purchased the terminal to supply the distribution facility for CHS Crop Nutrients Divi-sion; receiving granular fertilizers from all over the world, the 27,000-ton dry storage facility on the site trucks crop inputs to farms throughout Ameri-ca’s eastern Corn Belt re-gion.

As Terminal Manager, James is responsible for offloading the material and moving it into storage by conveyor as cost-effec-tively as possible. As he set out to equip the termi-nal, he told Ben Sutkamp at Murphy Tractor that his goal was 500 tons per hour. Sutkamp told him, “I have a machine that can do that for you.”

By mid-August, James’ new electric-drive SEN-NEBOGEN 860 R-HD ma-terial handler was unload-

ing its first barge. The big green machine

quickly showed that it would keep pace with the terminal’s new con-veyor system. Meeting his throughput goal, James is also pleased with the SENNEBOGEN’s cost to operate. He was already convinced he wanted an electric-drive machine before he first contacted Murphy Tractor, the re-gional dealer for SEN-NEBOGEN. “The previ-ous facility here also had electric power to operate its crane. Electric power keeps fuel away from the river and it’s more cost-efficient. Environmentally and economically, it’s a win/win.”

SENNEBOGEN was also a name that James knew well from his previ-ous work at a steel mill. “The operating environ-ment in a stainless steel plant is pretty brutal, and the SENNEBOGEN equip-ment stood up to it very well. From that experi-ence, I knew what I was dealing with when Ben told me he represents SENNEBOGEN in this area.”

James reports that Sut-

kamp and the SENNEBO-GEN Regional Sales Man-ager visited the terminal on several occasions as his plans were develop-ing. “I explained the set up here and what we’re trying to do. Both guys are excellent to work with, and very supportive. Any-time I’ve contacted them with a question or an is-sue, they’re on top of it.”

The SENNEBOGEN team recommended the 860 R-HD “D” models, an 180,000 lb. machine. The machine is equipped with a 59’ reach and fitted with a 5.5 yd. clamshell buck-et. The operator station is SENNEBOGEN’s hydrauli-cally elevating maXCab. Mounted on a crawler un-dercarriage, the machine sits level with the river on a barge with a crane mat.

“We have four smooth-out ratchets tied to the running gear, welded down to the barge,” James explains. “The crawler base gives us a better footprint. On top of that, the feeling of stabil-ity is phenomenal! When you reach down with a 5 ½ yard clam completely full of fertilizer and you’re really not rocking, and

there’s no tracks lifting up off the ground, you’re really a lot more comfort-able while you’re up in the air in the cab.”

James notes that, while providing the operator with a clear view to the material he is unloading, the elevat-ing cab also adds a safety factor to the terminal. “You’ll have a crew down on the barge or a guy do-ing the rig-up for the skid steer off to the side, but in the elevated cab, you’re up above and able to see ev-erything. The cameras are excellent; you don’t have a blind spot around you at all.”

Before he signed off on the purchase of the 860, James also discussed his requirement with another vendor. He says he pre-ferred the SENNEBOGEN line-up from the outset because “…it’s a true ma-terial handler, not a con-verted excavator.”

Asked what advice he would have for anyone else considering SENNEBOGEN for a new barge facility, James’s response was sim-ple: “Pull the trigger!” b

Federal Finance Minis-ter Bill Morneau’s first bud-get tabled today is aimed tax cuts and programs for the “middle class”, battling climate change though green technology and car-bon pricing, and boosting infrastructure for cities.

Below are some of the main highlights of the 2016 Budget as they could relate to the trucking industry, di-rectly or indirectly:Infrastructure / Green Initiatives

The government plans to invest more than $120 billion in total infrastruc-ture, including transit fund-ing and programs to com-bat GHG emissions, over 10 years in two phases.

Budget 2016 proposes to invest $5 billion over the next five years in infrastruc-ture that “protects commu-nities and supports Cana-da’s ongoing transition to a clean growth economy,” including investments in electric vehicle and alter-native transportation fuel infrastructure.

The budget sets aside $62.5 million over two years, starting in 2016–17, to Natural Resources Can-ada to support the deploy-ment of infrastructure for alternative transportation fuels, including charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and natural gas and hydrogen refueling stations. The government

says it will advance these objectives by working with provinces and territories, municipalities and the pri-vate sector.

“Early action is needed to support the transition to low-carbon transportation fuels, as vehicle choices made today will determine the mix of technologies on the road in 2030,” the bud-get stated.

The budget refers to tax support for clean ve-hicles, although only elec-tric vehicles and natural gas facilities – not natural gas engines – are specifi-cally mentioned. Budget 2016 proposes to expand eligibility for accelerated capital cost allowance (CCA) in electric vehicle charging and electrical energy storage. The bud-get also reiterates the CCA allowance currently avail-able for certain liquefied natural gas (LNG) facili-ties.

The language in the budget as it relates to electric and LNG did not specifically refer to com-mercial vehicles, although CTA is engaging in dis-cussions with the federal government on how this funding can help support and expedite alternative, green power for commer-

cial vehicles into the mar-ket place.

The budget also pro-poses $2.9 billion over five years to support the devel-opment of a “Low Carbon Economy Fund.” Pricing carbon, states the budget, will be a key element to transitioning to a low car-bon economy.

To budget also includes $75 million to support “municipalities’ front-line efforts” to address climate change, to be delivered by the Federation of Canadi-an Municipalities as well as $125 million over the next two years to the Fed-eration of Canadian Mu-nicipalities to enhance the Green Municipal Fund. These investments are aimed municipality-led projects to identify and implement GHG reduction opportunities and munici-pal green infrastructure projects. Again, CTA and the provincial trucking as-sociations will be looking at how the trucking indus-try can participate.

There were no specific funding details in the bud-get for highways or bridge infrastructure, except to say that the government aims “to deliver fast, ef-ficient trade corridors that allow Canadian export-ers to benefit fully from international trade.” It notes “ambitious projects will be supported to re-duce urban transportation congestion, improve and expand trade corridors, and reduce the carbon

footprint of the national energy system.”Border

In its pre-budget submis-sions, CTA frequently calls for funding and investment for initiatives that ensure the efficient movement of goods across the border. This budget makes a gener-al mention of border infra-structure support. It states: “Budget 2016 proposes to provide $3.4 billion over the next five years, on a cash basis, to maintain and upgrade federal infra-structure assets such as national parks, small craft harbours, federal airports and border infrastructure.” CTA is hopeful that part of the border infrastructure funding will be allocated to RFID infrastructure.Vehicle Technology / Manufacturing

Budget 2016 proposes to provide $7.3 million over two years to increase in-spection capacity and sup-port the development of a regulatory framework for emerging vehicle technolo-gies, such as automated vehicles. The budget also announces the elimination of tariffs on about a dozen manufacturing inputs, pro-viding an estimated $9 mil-lion in tariff savings over the next five years to Cana-dian manufacturers in the consumer goods and trans-portation sectors. More-over, the budget extends the Automotive Innovation Fund, which is currently scheduled to sunset at the end of 2017–18, through to

the end of 2020–21.Odds & Ends• TDG RAIL SAFETY: $143

million over three years to sustain existing mea-sures and support new and expanded activities to strengthen oversight and enforcement, and to enhance prevention and response capabili-ties related to rail safety and the transportation of dangerous goods.

• FERRY FLEET RENEW-AL: Budget 2016 pro-poses to waive the 25 per cent tariff on ferries of all sizes imported af-ter October 1, 2015. This will provide an estimated $118 million in duty sav-ings over six years, al-lowing, the government adds, ferry operators to reinvest the savings in their fleet renewal plans, enhance ferry services and reduce fares for pas-sengers and commercial users.

•SKILLS AND TRAIN-ING: Budget 2016 pro-poses additional invest-ments in skills training such as an additional $125 million in 2016–17 for the Labour Market Development Agree-ments, and an addition-al $50 million in 2016–17 for the Canada Job Fund Agreements. Also, $85.4 million over five years to develop a new framework to support union-based appren-ticeship training. b

Fed Budget Offers Support For LNG/Electric Vehicles/Infrastructure


The governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories are pleased to announce the joining of the north and south construc-tion spreads of the Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway, the first public highway to Canada’s Arctic coast. The contractor has successfully joined the two construction spreads with a first layer of embankment material placed on April 7, 2016. Geotextile fabric and addi-tional earthworks to bring the embankment up to grade will be put in place by the end the month.

This key piece of trans-portation infrastructure is now concluding its third winter of construction. Once complete, it will cre-ate economic growth in the Beaufort Delta region by providing all-weather highway access to Tuk-toyaktuk, which is current-ly served only by ice road, barge, and air. This project is delivering numerous so-cio-economic opportunities in the region by employing

over 400 individuals at the peak of the construction season.

The scheduled open-ing to traffic is in the fall of 2017. The new highway will be the northern-most section of the envisioned Mackenzie Valley Highway that will connect Canada from coast-to-coast-to-coast. The highway will decrease the cost of liv-ing in Tuktoyaktuk by en-abling goods to be trans-ported year-round by road, increase opportunities for business development, re-duce the cost of accessing onshore and offshore oil and gas opportunities, and strengthen Canada’s sover-eignty in the North.Quick Facts•The Inuvik Tuktoyak-

tuk Highway is a col-laborative project of the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, the Hamlet of Tuk-toyaktuk, and the Town of Inuvik.

•The Government of

Canada is contributing $200 million towards this project.

•The Government of the Northwest Territories is contributing $99 mil-lion.

•The total estimated cost of the project is $299 million.

•The work is being com-pleted using unique construction techniques that ensures the under-lying continuous per-mafrost remains pro-tected in a frozen state.

Quotes“The Inuvik Tuk-

toyaktuk Highway is an essential component of Northern transportation infrastructure. Not only will it create jobs and eco-nomic benefits for North-erners, but it will connect communities, support the transportation of goods, and increase the potential for economic development in the Northwest Territo-ries. By working with our provincial, territorial and municipal partners, we are meeting Canadians’ needs and positioning Canada’s economy for the future.” - The Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Com-munities

“This construction project exemplifies the 18th Legislative Assem-bly’s priority to invest in NWT transportation infrastructure and work-force development. We

are pleased with the con-tractor’s progress and achievements in training and employing local resi-dents to construct a high-way under difficult con-ditions, unlike any other

project in Canada. - Wally Schumann, Minister of Transportation, Govern-ment of the Northwest Territories b

Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas today announced at the BAUMA 2016 international con-struction expo the addition of two new models to its HX Series of Tier 4 Final-compliant hydraulic exca-vators – the HX160L and HX180L.

At 16 metric tons and 18 metric tons, these two machines meet the needs of customers in two of the most popular size classes

for crawler excavators. They join a family of nine other HX excavators Hyun-dai began introducing in 2015 to U.S. and Canadian markets.

Like other models in the HX product line, the new Hyundai HX160L and HX180L excavators pro-vide up to 10-percent bet-ter fuel economy and 5-per-cent increased productivity compared with previous models. Both the HX160L

and HX180L are powered by Perkins 1204E Tier 4 Fi-nal engines rated at 128 net hp (96 kW).

The HX160L excava-tor is rated as a 16-metric ton model, with an oper-ating weight of 40,680 lb (18 450 kg). The 18-metric ton-rated Hyundai HX180L excavator has an operating weight of 42,882 lb (19 450 kg).

The operator’s cab in each new HX excavator

model includes as standard equipment an 8-inch (20.3-cm) interactive, adjustable, touchscreen cluster-moni-tor with haptic remote con-trol, providing easier oper-ator accessibility and better ergonomics. The haptic re-mote control delivers reac-tive, tactile sensations us-ing vibrations and pulses to guide the operator through menu selections.

Viewable on the moni-tor is the Hyundai-exclu-sive AAVM – or All-Around View Monitoring – an op-tional system that provides a 360° surround virtual operating view. Included in AAVM is the IMOD (Intel-ligent Moving Object De-

tection) system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 16.5 feet (5 m) of the ma-chine. The AAVM system helps make the Hyundai HX series among the saf-est excavators to operate on any jobsite in North America.

The cab on the HX160L and HX180L excavators is 13-percent roomier that prior models and features enhanced climate-control, more leg and foot space from the seat to the pedals, reduced in-cab sound level, heated operator’s seat with standard air suspension and integrated console. Ad-ditional features include a Bluetooth audio system and Miracast wireless func-tionality for viewing a mo-bile device screen on the monitor.

Hydraulic system en-hancements on the HX160L and HX180L excavators in-clude an innovative Boom Float mode for better grad-ing control, Fine Swing mode for improved load control when swinging, and up to 13-percent faster cycle speeds than previous mod-els. Both models also feature IPC (Intelligent Power Con-trol) computer-aided power optimization based on load demand, and Eco Breaker mode for selectable pump flow and improved fuel consumption when work-ing with Hyundai hydraulic breakers and many other attachments. The combina-tion of faster cycle times and more power results in pro-

ductivity increases of up to 5 percent.

Enhanced reliability fea-tures on the HX series in-clude reinforced longer-life pins and bushings coupled with wear-resistant poly-mer shims and newly de-signed cab shock mounts with dual shock absorption for reduced vibration and noise and improved op-erator comfort. Serviceabil-ity enhancements include ground-level access to the fuel filter and convenient exterior access to the cab air filter. Additional guard rails provide greater safety while performing mainte-nance and inspections on the upper structure deck.

New Tier 4 Final en-gine technologies, a more efficient vertically stacked cooling design, efficient electronic fan clutch, and hydraulic system innova-tions on the Hyundai HX series excavators contrib-ute to an overall fuel effi-ciency improvement of up to 10 percent compared with previous models.

The Hyundai HX160L and HX180L excavators are protected by Hyundai’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour standard warranty and five-year, 5,000-hour structural war-ranty. Hyundai also in-cludes three years of free access to its Hi-Mate re-mote management system which provides a variety of remote monitoring and di-agnostic services. b

North America Traffic boosted its service and sup-port in Virginia by adding Hawkins-Graves, Inc. to its growing distributor net-work in March. Hawkins-Graves is an established construction equipment dealer based in Lynchburg, Virginia. Known for spe-cialized safety equipment, Hawkins-Graves now of-fers North America Traf-fic portable traffic signals to complement its existing lineup of machines and tools from leading manu-facturers.

“ H a w k i n s - G r a v e s shares our values and ap-proach to business,” says Peter Vieveen, President of North America Traffic. “Like North America Traf-fic, they take great pride in offering a quality product. We both prioritize cus-tomer service and support. We’re very excited to work with Hawkins-Graves.”

“It’s a win for every-one,” says John Jordan, President of Hawkins-Graves, about the agree-ment. “Our contractors win because they now have ac-

cess to the North America Traffic line of quality por-table traffic control de-vices for both long-term and short-term projects. We win because we are expanding our range of products to better suit our customers.”

John and his brother, Matt Jordan, VP/Sales Manager, were familiar with the North America Traffic products before they considered becoming a distributor. Some of their customers were interested, so they did some investi-gating. They learned how simple it was to set up and program North America Traffic portable traffic sig-nals and quickly realized that North America Traf-fic is, “obviously the top player in the marketplace,” says John.

Their research brought them to a point where they were eager to join forces with North America Traf-fic. “Frankly, we liked the product,” he says. “It’s simple, user-friendly and easy-to-use. The lights and signals perform reliably in

all weather conditions.”Matt sat down with the

sales team and reviewed the North America Traffic product offering and fea-tures; they determined that this was product line for their marketplace.

One feature that is cru-cial for contractors is the simplicity of North Amer-ica Traffic design, says John. “No one wants to deal with equipment that takes a rocket scientist to operate.”

All North America Traf-fic equipment design can be used by anyone on the jobsite with minimal train-ing. The user-friendly con-trol panel allows one per-son to actuate traffic and set cycle times and phases on primary and secondary signals in only a few min-utes. Once the signals are programmed, they can run autonomously around the clock.

This simplicity means less training for operators, less room for error and more time on the job. In fact, John says he can train anyone on how to oper-ate a North America Traf-fic system in five minutes. When it came to training the Hawkins-Graves sales staff, it did not take very

long to get everybody up to speed.

Based on his customers’ needs, John will stock the PTL 2.4x and PTL 2.4LD models for both sales and rentals. The PTL 2.4x is ideal for long-duration projects such as bridge con-struction. The PTL 2.4LD is designed for light-duty, temporary traffic control.

John anticipates an

equal balance of sales and rentals of the North Amer-ica Traffic equipment. “We’ll have customers who will buy the portable lights because they’re us-ing them frequently. Then, some customers will just rent them from project to project when they need them. We want to offer the solution to both types of customers.”

John says he has al-ready approached some municipalities in Virginia and plans to reach out to rental houses as well. “We have every reason to be-lieve that they’ll embrace this product,” he says. “Its top quality, simple to use, and it increases jobsite safety.” b

What is Area 27 You Ask?

Area 27 is Canada’s newest, most exciting and extremely pictur-esque motorsport circuit located just a few kilome-tres south of Oliver, Brit-ish Columbia. Oliver is a small Okanagan Valley town parked along High-way 97, south of Pent-icton, north of Osoyoos, and just a few kilometres from the United States border. The town boasts a rich and storied history and today is known as Canada’s Wine Capital. Soon it will also be known as Canada’s Motorsports Capital. Phase one of Area 27’s build-out will feature at 3 mile (4.9 km) road course designed by For-mula One World Driving Champion and Canadian racing legend Jacques Vil-leneuve. Built to and certi-fied as a Federation Inter-nationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Category II circuit, Area 27 will be the longest road course track west of Ontario. With FIA Cat II certification, the track will be suitable for Indy Car as well as NASCAR rac-

ing events. It would also be capable of hosting For-mula One testing.

Why Area 27? Why here?

When this question was put to Bill Drossos, Area 27 Co-Founder and President, he explained it this way, “Back in 1986 when, much to my par-ent’s dismay, I took my college tuition and spent it on racing school lessons at Richard Spenard’s Rac-ing Academy located at Mosport Motorsport Park in Ontario. There I ob-served that people were coming from all over the world to take racing les-sons from professional, world class coaches. It was also at racing school that I met Jacques Vil-leneuve and we have re-mained close friends ever since. That’s also when my dream of a destina-tion racing school back home in the Okanagan was born. But there were no such facilities in west-ern Canada and certainly not in the Okanagan. So I quietly tucked my pipe dream away in the bottom

drawer of my mechanic’s tool chest.”

Change gears and speed forward to just a couple of years ago. “I was always on the lookout for an ap-propriate track location,” Bill continued, “and a couple of years ago I’m on my way back home from a ski race at Mount Baldy (just east of Oliver, B.C.) and I spotted it. Immedi-ately I thought, there it is - the perfect piece of land for the road circuit and racing school that I had been dreaming of. Imme-diately I set about putting a team of dedicated indi-viduals together and one of the first people I called was Jacques. He was all in!”

Next it was a series of meetings with the Okana-gan Indian Band, the own-ers and stewards of the land, as well as with Chief Clarence Louie. “First, Chief Louie and I drove up to the location that I had spotted. That is when he said, “I have a better loca-tion for you.” So off we went. He was right… and that is the location we are at today.”

Possibly The Biggest Challenge

Now Drossos was faced with possibly his biggest challenge… money. It was going to take a bunch of money to build a profes-sional road racing circuit and he knew it. The idea of large corporate spon-sorships, sponsorships that had fuelled the mo-torsport industry in North America for decades, was changing… rather dra-matically…and not in Bill’s favour. But the idea of membership-based or country club road racing circuits was catching on across the USA. So more meetings… and soon the idea of Area 27 as a mem-bership-based, luxury mo-torsport park and racing academy started taking shape.

Who Will Build It?Certainly Bill Drossos

had the idea, the designer, the originating team and the promise of member-ship monies sufficient to get things started. The next big hurdle was con-struction. Who… to get to build it? Enter Canadian racing icon Trevor Seibert, who just happens to be the owner and president of B.C. based Lake Exca-vating, one of Canada’s premier heavy construc-tion companies.

“When Bill called and explained the membership

concept, what he wanted to do and what needed to be done, I was on board,” stated Seibert. “As a race car driver, you are always dreaming of designing your own racing circuit and here I was being pre-sented with the opportu-nity to work on the design and construction of an in-ternational class race track and racing academy with my friend Bill Drossos and Formula One World Champion Jacques Vil-leneuve… I was stoked! My job was going to be to turn this 225 acres of rock and sage brush into rac-ing reality and fulfill Bill’s dream… It was going to be a huge task, but I was up for it.”

Trevor and Jacques spent days walking through the sage brush, the valleys and over the rocks and hills laying the track out. Next Seibert got his construction engi-neering team working on layouts, super elevations, straight-away lengths, turn radii and spirals, banking angles, run-off locations and sizes, pit and paddock locations, all the key elements of any successful and safe racing circuit. “It was a challenge,” stated Trev-or, “our team was used to working on highway design but laying out a race course is so much more demanding. That is

where my experience as a race car driver and the international racing expe-rience of Jacques really kicked in.”

Construction BeginsSo in early February

2016, Trevor and his Lake Excavating team began moving in some heavy-iron, some really heavy-iron, onto the sage brush covered Area 27 site. “Working in the Okana-gan is great,” stated Ryley Seibert, Trevor’s son, site supervisor and Canadian NASCAR driver. “I love it here, we have the weather on our side, it is dry, there was little or no snow and no frost in the ground, so we got right to work. I’m used to working in north-ern B.C. and Alberta dur-ing the winter so being down here is a real treat. Currently, we have about twenty-five pieces of iron working the site including bulldozers, belly scrapers, graders, excavators, wheel loaders, and just this week we moved in a portable rock crusher. Another bo-nus for me is that over half of our crew are local First Nation peoples who know the area and are both ea-ger to learn and to work.”

“Once we started moving dirt around we discovered a number of advantages to this loca-tion,” Trevor added. “Ad-vantages like… soil that

Along with this came a few disadvan-tages as well… such as… soil that had not been dis-turbed since the glaciers left the valley thousands of years ago, making mov-ing the dirt a bit more difficult as well as a real mix of soils from shale to fine silt and boulders of all shapes and sizes.

which we need for com-paction and dust control… but thankfully the lake is close by.”

Strict FIA Standards.Although FIA standards

are strict, they are very logical when you consider that both competitive-street vehicles and fully race-prepared cars will be using the Area 27 track. Track width are to be a minimum of twelve metres (40 feet), safety barriers between the cars and the people must be a minimum of one metre tall plus all the appropri-ate catch fences. This track

will be very challenging but with a conventional layout style.

The construction of the track base will consist of heavily compacted, pro-cessed gravel. The top asphalt coat will include a percentage of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) providing an extra level of stability. Track paving will be handled by Penticton-based Peters Bros. Con-struction who are expect-ed to move a minimum 400 ton-per-hour highway asphalt plant on site. The hot mix will be Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA),

adding additional stability and heat resistant durabil-ity to the track surface. This will be laid down by three pavers operating in a close echelon formation to eliminate as many seams or joints as is practical.

Phase one of the track construction includes the track, run-off areas, safety barriers, pit and paddock roads as well as parking and observation areas. Phase two and three will include administration buildings, a racing school, storage and garage facili-ties, housing and support facilities along with a

planned go-cart track all of which will be forthcoming.

Everyone is Excited.Trevor Seibert is ex-

cited, “I’ve raced all over North America and I can’t think of a more exciting track or a better facil-ity than we are build-ing here.” When asked if planning and construction were on schedule and on budget, a huge grin ap-peared on Bill Drossos’ face. “Trevor, Jacques and I, along with the entire Area 27 team, are work-ing very well together and as of right now we are

on budget and ahead of schedule thanks in part to the expertise of Lake Ex-cavating and the fantastic Okanagan weather. It’s an exciting time for all of us.”

Area 27 road racing cir-cuit should hear the iconic call of ‘Start Your Engines’ in the early summer of 2016 and host several racing events this year. For more information on member-ship or scheduled events visit www.area27.ca b

Four days of activities designed to address how society can use human in-genuity, technology, col-laboration and pragmatism to learn about, discuss and act on the energy transi-tion.

Shell Eco-marathon Americas is one of three events of an annual global series and brings together:

High school and uni-versity teams (approx. 129 teams) from Brazil, Cana-da, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and the U.S. com-peting in the Mileage Chal-lenge;

Thought leaders, Shell business representatives, government officials, aca-demics and local business leaders at Powering Prog-ress Together; and,

Residents and visitors to Detroit, including over 6,000 schoolchildren, to the Shell Eco-marathon Ex-perience. It’s more than going over 3,587 mpg

Yes, 3,587 miles per gallon (mpg) is the cur-rent Americas record held by Université Laval; how-ever, last year a nail-biting drama unfolded and in-cluded a last-minute win from the University of

Toronto edging out their Canadian rival with a run of 3,421 miles per gallon. Laval finished with a re-spectable 3,365 mpg and still holds the all-time re-cord for the competition in the Americas. After de-signing, building and test-ing their Urban Concept or Prototype vehicles for nearly a year, the mileage challenge is the teams’ fi-nal chance to make their vehicle “roadworthy” and to achieve ultimate energy efficiency (see last year’s results here) on the down-town Detroit street circuit. While the actual event comes and goes, planning, fundraising and participat-ing in external activities continue year-round.

Following the 2015 event, the University of Michigan team showcased their vehicle to crowds at the Detroit Grand Prix. In June, the 2015 winning team, the University of To-ronto, headed west to be a part of the Shell V-Power NiTRO + Fuel Launch at Jay Leno’s Garage and en-joyed a private tour by the man himself.

Maybe you saw the two TV commercials featuring teams from Duke Univer-

sity (go behind-the-scenes here) and Northern Illinois University showcasing the future scientists and en-gineers? “Yes, the teams participate in the event it-self, but there’s so much more to being a contender than building a vehicle,” explained Shell Eco-mar-athon Americas General Manager Pam Rosen. “As the months go on, all of these student teams bal-ance the heavy weight of school work and life with the add-ons of designing, building and testing their vehicle plus fundraising, attracting media attention to grow local support, prac-ticing safety values and much, much more.” It’s not your parent’s science fair

Last year’s event drew more than 13,000 attend-ees and even more are ex-pected for 2016 at Detroit’s Cobo Centre. Guests are invited to a festival-like atmosphere that exhibits the fun ofSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields. Inter-active exhibits are designed to improve understanding of energy sources and their related issues – and per-haps inspire career choices

later on in life.Shell Fuel scientists will

showcase Shell fuels, lubri-cants technology and GTL technology and partici-pating in “Punk Science” fuels and lubricants dem-onstrations on the main stage. Plus, the Dual; the Deepwater Virtual Reality experience and the Shell Simulated Lab are just a few additional examples of how Shell businesses take part in Shell Eco-marathon.

Other opportunities for visitors to discover, think, create, make and learn were provided by Shell businesses like Marine, Aviation, Unconvention-als, Alternative Energies, Hydrogen, LNG for Trans-port, as well as products and interactive experiences from external partners. Ad-ditionally, roughly 19 mak-ers showcased a variety of STEM, artistic and hands-on displays and activities and featured local crafts and small businesses in the area.

The Shell Lubricants team recently launched a Truck Design Challenge for Detroit-area students and Great Lakes-area residents had the opportunity to en-ter the Shell Great Lakes In-novation Competition. The winners were announced at Powering Progress To-gether.It takes a village

Shell Eco-marathon acts as a catalyst for collabo-ration and conversation about the global energy challenge and brings many global and local partners together to support it.

In Detroit and the Great Lakes area, Shell’s brand flourishes through existing or new relationships with organizations like Team Penske, Toyota, Fiat Chrys-ler Automobiles, Ford Mo-tor Company, Hitachi, The Henry Ford, C-STEM, the Society of Automotive Engineers, Delta Airlines, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Met-ropolitan Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, Motor Cit-ies National Heritage and

Rock Ventures to name a few, as well as global part-ners in innovation Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), HP Inc., Linde, Michelin and SwRI.One company cannot solve the world’s energy challenges

If we are going to meet rising energy demands, we need energy from all sources and that includes the energy of people, too. “One company cannot solve the world’s energy challenges but by bring-ing together such a wide audience, the process of moving towards a cleaner energy future becomes possible – you have all

of the right components to turn thoughts into ac-tions,” says Niel Golight-ly, Vice President External Relations, Shell Oil Com-pany.

Through Shell’s support of STEM education for our future innovators and by working in collaboration with governments, other companies, NGOs and the general public, Shell Eco-marathon plays a part in the energy transition by encouraging ingenuity, cre-ativity and innovation to meet rising global energy demand with cleaner and more efficient sources. b

The FXT Series vacu-um excavators include the FXT30 Air, FXT50 Air, and FXT65 Air. The line has air and water excavation capa-bilities. The units use a PTO-

driven air compressor with a filtration system that uti-lizes a cyclonic separator to remove fine particles before reaching sensitive compo-nents in the vacuum system.

The new system posi-tions many of the air exca-vation components under the truck deck, giving oper-ators extra room and easy access. Operators can eas-ily monitor and command all components using an electronic controller that displays system param-eters. b

TMC Transportation – the largest privately held flatbed carrier in the U.S. – ordered 1,500 Peterbilt Model 579s in a multi-year agreement announced re-cently by Peterbilt Motors Company.

“TMC has long been a Peterbilt partner. We take great pride in the profes-sionalism and skill of our drivers and the appear-ance and performance of our fleet,” said Rod Simon, TMC’s Vice President of Maintenance. “Peterbilt trucks help us recruit and keep the industry’s best drivers, and the distinctive styling and Peterbilt image help make TMC’s fleet the best-looking trucks on the road.”

TMC embraced Peter-bilt’s Model 579 upon its introduction, ordering 1,500 units in 2012. The Model 579’s outstanding fuel efficiency was a key consideration then, as it is now.

“Integrating new tech-nologies that provide im-proved efficiencies and bottom-line benefits is a strategy that makes TMC

one of the industry’s most innovative fleets,” said Jeff Vanthournout, Presi-dent of Allstate Peterbilt Group, which owns and operates 20 Peterbilt deal-erships. “TMC is a valued customer and a great rep-resentative of the Peterbilt brand and the trucking in-dustry.”

TMC was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. The company’s 50-acre campus includes a state-of-the-art training centre and the in-dustry’s first driver hospi-tality centre. TMC’s fleet is comprised of late-mod-el trucks with premium specs. The Model 579s just ordered will be equipped with Peterbilt’s premium 80-inch sleepers.

“TMC is committed to the highest levels of qual-ity, integrity, safety and customer satisfaction,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Assistant General Manager of Sales and Marketing. “The slogan ‘Destination Excellence’ on each of their trucks says it all.” b

When Ralph Lo Priore looks at which new specifi-cation choices would likely work best for his compa-ny’s trucks, he prefers to deal in cold hard facts, not egos or emotions.

“Too often people make purchasing decisions on what’s always been done before,” said Lo Priore, director of fleet assets and processes for Stoneway Concrete and its parent company, Gary Merlino Construction Co. “Instead, I like to look at what’s going to deliver the best return on investment in terms of reliability, durabil-ity, serviceability, longevity and a lower cost of opera-tion.”

Stoneway and Merlino operate a combined fleet of 150 trucks, including 85 transit mixers and 60 dump trucks from three locations – the company’s maintenance shop in Rent-on, Washington, a yard in South Seattle and another yard next to Ashgrove Ce-ment in Seattle. When it came time to choose a new engine platform for Stone-way’s mixers, Lo Priore examined the data and chose the new PACCAR MX-11 engine platform with two Kenworth T880 mixer chassis for Stone-way Concrete. After those two T880s with the MX-11 proved their worth in op-eration, Lo Priore ordered nine more new similarly spec’d T880 mixers.

“I look at, for example, the company’s mainte-nance data, which helps me identify issues caused by bad spec’ing decisions, like equipping a truck with the wrong suspension,” Lo Priore said. Of course payload is always a major consideration, Lo Priore added. “Our customers al-ways want more yardage with fewer trucks on the job. That’s why when I looked at how many times the company sent out one more mixer to a job site with short loads of con-crete to finish up the job, I knew Stoneway Concrete needed trucks with more payload capacity.

“But trying to get that additional payload by go-ing with the same 13-liter engine and looking for weight savings in other places, or going bigger with a 15-liter engine in applications other than the mixers, were just not the right options,” he said. Lo Priore also credits the new model’s success to a decision to go with a set-back front axle and a total of seven axles, including a conventional “boost-a-load” axle, allowing for an 80,000-pound GVW, which is allowed under Washington State’s bridge formula. Lo Priore said he saw the more typical 76,000-pound GVW de-sign with an 11-yard mix-er as being “obsolete.”

While many ques-

tioned those choices, Lo Priore said he felt confi-dent they were the right ones. That’s because with the PACCAR MX-11, the tractors and mixers real-ize a better horsepower-to weight ratio and gain pay-load capacity. And with the combination of the MX-11 and set-back front axle, the T880 mixers can carry 4,000 additional pounds of payload by re-distributing the weight to the pusher axle when needed.

The additional pay-load capacity means the mixers can carry up to 12 yards of concrete per load instead of the usual 10-1/2 to 11 yards the typi-cal 76,000-pound GVW Stoneway mixer equipped with a 13-liter engine would carry. With a 12-yard capacity, the T880 mixer with PACCAR MX-11 engine can generate an average of $315 more in daily revenue than a 10 1/2-yard mixer. Stoneway Concrete’s mixers typi-cally run six days a week year-round, and as a re-sult the T880 mixer can earn about $98,000 more in annual revenue, ac-cording to Lo Priore.

The lighter engine, set-back front axle and addi-tion of the pusher axle all changed the T880’s centre of gravity, allowing McNei-lus to install a wider drum, Lo Priore said. By pushing the front axle back, the

drum also sits lower on the frame, which results in increased stability and re-duced drum bounce, in on- or off-road conditions. “By choosing the PACCAR MX-11, we have a 400-pound lighter engine compared to a 13-liter engine, but with the same 430 horsepower,” Lo Priore added. “The MX-11 engine, with its compact graphite iron head and block, is much lighter and more durable than an en-gine made of gray cast iron. With the Allison 7-speed automatic transmission, it’s a perfect combination. “Allison’s dynamic shift sensing allows the trans-mission to automatically choose gears based on the vehicle’s weight and the road grade. So, drivers get a state-of-the-art truck that doesn’t leave them tired with aching knees and shoulders from all of the shifting they have to do in city traffic,” he said. “And the Kenworth T880 provides us the right chas-sis because of its design, which makes for a more comfortable work environ-ment and offers a field of view drivers simply can’t get with the other avail-able truck models.” Dan Leenhouts, who was as-signed that first Kenworth T880 mixer with the PAC-CAR MX-11 engine in 2015, was so impressed by it, he chose to forgo his retire-ment in 2016 and continue working another two years for Stoneway.

“The Kenworth T880 offers such a phenomenal ride,” he said. “When I first drove it, I just could not be-lieve how quiet it is in the

cab. Because the MX- 11 provides good power and smooth acceleration, I find the T880 is able to keep up with the other trucks with larger engines, even lug-ging under load on hills.

“I’m also very, very pleased with the visibility from the cab,” Leenhouts said. “The mirrors are so perfectly positioned giving me the ability to manoeuvre well in heavy traffic. With its sloped hood, driving the T880 is almost like driving a cabover.” Lo Priore said it wasn’t easy to get a con-crete mixer equipped with a set-back front axle, an 11- litre engine, and seven axles including a pusher

axle, built. After he shared data from Stoneway’s con-ditions-based maintenance program, “Kenworth was the only OEM willing to try,” he added. Lo Priore credits Rick Barry, territory sales director at Kenworth Northwest, and Kenworth technical engineers in mak-ing the spec happen.

“Now that we’ve prov-en what this new spec can achieve, I take pride that there’s a lot of other com-panies looking very hard at whether this new specifica-tion can work for them as well as it has for us,” Lo Priore said. b

Wareham may be just a couple of miles inland from Purbeck’s Jurassic Coast - yet it’s not dinosaur bones that a fleet of Terex Trucks are helping to uncover, but some of the world’s richest clay deposits.

As you look over the huge whorls made by

truck tires in the sand on the lip of Doreys ball clay quarry, fossils and ammo-nites spring to mind. The site just outside Wareham, Dorset, is, after all, right next to an ancient coastline whose layers of rock record some 185 million years of history.

But this is very modern treasure being mined here. The 450,000 cubic metres of ball clay to be found 35 metres below ground is amongst the most sought-after in the world. The clay’s hard-firing proper-ties make it suitable for a wide range of processing

applications.A large percent of the

clay from this pit will be ex-ported to Spain to be made into luxury ceramic tiles. The rest will be processed for use in the pharmaceuti-cal industry or transported to India to make pylon ca-bles insulators.A family affair

The Doreys site is one of several in the area owned by Imerys, a world leader in mineral-based products. The quarry is operated by local family-firm Andrews Plant Hire and Haulage, whose owner, Peter An-drews, has been in busi-ness in Wareham since 1969 and now has two of his six sons working along-side him in the firm.

Terex Trucks has also been part of the family for over almost twenty years. From initially owning three trucks, Andrews now runs a fleet of nine Terex Trucks machines - one TA30 and eight TA 300s - all hard at work at six different clay quarries in Dorset and South Devon.

The trucks carry out two main tasks: transporting overburden materials and completing land restora-tion projects. In the case of the Doreys pit, five Terex Trucks machines are work-ing non-stop to remove huge volumes of sandstone and ‘bad clay’ excavated by the diggers and then hauling it to a different part of the site. It will then be mostly used as back-fill to restore an adjacent quarry, from which the clay has al-ready been removed, with 60,000 tons of sand sold from the site.

‘This part of Doreys was a greenfield site until a year ago,’ explains Peter. ‘We put up screening bunds to shield the pit from the main road and built a road across the site over what was pre-viously bog land. It’s taken

us six months to take a big imprint off the site and get to the point where the clay can be removed.’

The Terex Truck ma-chine at the Doreys pit each make 50-60 deliver-ies a day of overburden to the restoration point, being loaded in under a minute and a half with up to 30 tonnes. That adds up to between half and three quarters of a million cubic meters of overburden and restoration materials a year out of a total of 1.5 million cubic metres for all An-drews’ clients.

The restoration part of the process complies with strict local authority en-vironmental regulations, which ensure that the quarries, once depleted, are restored as far pos-sible to wetland, heath or farmland. A few years from now, Doreys will no longer be the thrumming centre of activity it is today, but restored to its former rural calm, the 35-meter gash in the earth once again serene grassy farmland. Wider tires make light work

What makes Terex Trucks so good for this en-vironment? The answer’s at your feet. The Purbeck area may be gently roll-ing countryside delivering up fine-quality clay, but its heavy-going terrain in long wet winters, when the sand turns to a soupy yel-low sludge.

‘Terex Trucks are per-fect for our application. They have more power than other haulage trucks and stand up well to what can be pretty rugged condi-tions. The wider-than-aver-age tires on the machines allow the wheels to float over the top of the surface, instead of just spinning and jumping when the ground is very wet.’

This flotation design

is a far cry from the days when clay was first mined in the area in closed pits in the early 1800s and any overburden materials were transported by donkey and cart.

Such sophisticated de-sign benefits are not the only reason for Andrews’ loyalty to the brand. ‘We find that the Terex Trucks back-up is second to none,’ explains Peter. ‘If there’s ever a breakdown, the en-gineer will be here with us on site in less than an hour. It’s never a problem getting things repaired quickly and if ever a machine needs a factory modification, Terex Trucks will send another one down as a temporary replacement.’

‘On a couple of occa-sions over the years, we’ve had new Terex Trucks models as soon as they’ve come off the production line. The company has monitored their perfor-mance and we’ve been able to give feedback on any breakdowns or modi-fications needed. It’s a re-lationship and a product that’s worked very well for us.’ b

McElroy’s MegaMc 1600 fusion machine was selected to fuse pipe in support of drought miti-gation activities being undertaken by the U.S. Department of the Inte-rior’s Bureau of Recla-mation. As a part of an on-going initiative to preserve water resources during the West’s on-go-ing and historic drought, Reclamation is updating aged infrastructure to be able to achieve greater efficiency out of its water delivery systems.

Materials for an ef-fort to replace aged and leaking concrete water delivery structures were delivered in March near the Mexico border in San Luis, Ariz. By fusing 48” high-density poly-ethylene (HDPE) pipe to replace a failing 42” concrete pipeline, the government will be able to make beneficial use of pumped drainage water which is otherwise harm-ful to the area’s agricul-tural economy.

R&B Company of San Jose, Calif., a utility sup-ply solutions company, supplied the machine that would best fit the application along with 40,000 feet of pipe. They also provided certified fusion operator train-ing for the maintenance crew from the Reclama-tion’s Yuma Office.

The MegaMc 1600 wheeled fusion machines have been used on large-diameter pipe jobs in a variety of applications worldwide. They fea-ture four-jaws with more

than 80,000 lbs. of fusion force allowing operators to overcome heavier drag forces and fuse thicker-wall pipes.

Standing 9-feet tall and stretching 15-feet in length, the 21,000-pound machines is imposing, but its components — including the jaws, pipe lifts, heater and facer — are hydraulically pow-ered for smoothness and ease of use.

When considering a pipe material, a multi-disciplinary team of en-gineers analyzed many types, including steel and reinforced concrete, but selected JM Eagle’s PE 4710 SDR 17/IPS 125 recommended by R&B for its strength, durabil-ity and flexibility. Prop-erly fused HDPE pipe is leak-free and resistant to corrosion and weather. Studies indicate it can last 100 years.

McElroy’s technical and engineering support team was onsite the first day of the job to re-instill best practices in the op-eration of the machine and to spend one-on-one time with each of the fu-sion operators to review each step of the fusion process. Safe operation of the facer and heater were stressed, and McEl-roy’s DataLogger 5 was used to record the pa-rameters of the fusion process to ensure and document that the opera-tor produced a quality, leak-free joint.

McElroy also assisted with jobsite setup uti-lizing a series of Pipe

Stands, strategically situ-ated on either side of the machine for support, which prevents pipe damage, reduces drag for a quality fusion and boosts productivity.

The crew will eventu-ally be performing a total of about 600 pipe fusions for the six-mile pipeline and are planning on be-ing able to perform about 12 fusions a day in two, four-man shifts. The Me-gaMc 1600 is rugged and will get a good workout, but so will the crew this summer with tempera-tures in the Sonoran Des-ert — the hottest desert in North America — eas-ily reaching 120 degrees.

The first phase of the project is expected to be complete this fall with two other larger phases to be completed by 2018. As the project moves for-ward, McElroy sees op-portunities for more in-volvement on the project with more of its pipeline productivity equipment and fusion machines to help finish the job.

The Reclamation’s Yuma Office maintains 276 miles of the lower Colorado River chan-nel — for water delivery from the Davis Dam in Nevada to the Mexico border — in addition to more than 100 ground water drainage wells and 90 miles of canals that feed the agricultur-ally-rich area. They over-see the delivery of more than 7 million acre-feet of water annually to Ari-zona, California, Nevada and Mexico, the majority of which is used for irri-gation which contributes to Yuma County’s status as the nation’s third top vegetable producer. b

Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, and Extreme Sandbox, LLC, a top-rated, heavy-equipment-adventure com-pany, has announced an exclusive equipment spon-sorship agreement that enables both companies to expose more Americans to the exhilarating experience of operating heavy machin-ery.

Extreme Sandbox pro-vides guests with a truly unique opportunity to ful-fil their childhood dreams of operating real construc-tion machines. The ad-venture takes place in a 10-acre “sandbox,” with training supervision from highly trained expert in-structors who help guests learn and operate the ma-chines, provide a proper operating environment and provide a fun and memorable experience. With manufacturing and foundry facilities in sev-eral U.S. states, Komatsu America is a leading man-ufacturer of earthmoving equipment primarily for the construction, mining and forestry industries.

Together, the two com-panies plan to expand the public’s exposure to heavy machinery. By combining Extreme Sand-box’s national expansion plans and proven track re-cord creating memorable experiences, with Komat-su America’s world-class machines, national reach and global resources, the alliance will introduce a new generation to heavy machinery and an under-explored area for reward-ing careers.

“This alliance is an opportunity to transform these impressive marvels of engineering technol-ogy from a roadside and work-zone curiosity into an informative, exciting, hands-on experience,” said Rich Smith, VP, Product and Services Di-vision for Komatsu Amer-ica Corp. “Long term, we hope climbing inside and feeling the comfort, speed and power of these ma-chines inspires a new gen-eration of men and wom-en who are good with their hands to consider careers in the construc-

tion industry. The Con-struction Industry pro-vides great employment opportunities for future operators, technicians and engineers. The degree to which cutting-edge technology will shape the jobsites and careers in the construction industry of the future is a well-kept secret – we want to change that,” Smith said.

“We are thrilled to showcase the Komatsu brand of equipment at our Extreme Sandbox lo-cations nationwide,” said Randy Stenger, Founder & CEO of Extreme Sandbox. “Our business has grown quickly and with that we desired to work with an equipment manufacturer that both has a top repu-tation and can help sup-port our national growth. Komatsu is a leader in the industry and we have been truly impressed with their state of the art equipment. We have built an experiential brand that knows how to have fun, that’s what we do, so it’s great to be able to expand in to other areas to lever-age our very unique skill-set. We see tremendous value in using ‘fun’ to get students excited about the heavy equipment trades as well as letting the gen-

eral public experience what it is like to operate these types of equipment. It really does leave people with a new appreciation for what our construction workers do on a daily ba-sis and we are proud to be able to represent the Kom-atsu brand,” Stenger said.

In addition to the Trip Advisor, #1-rated-attraction site in subur-ban Minneapolis, and the second site opening April 15, 2016, an hour north of Dallas, TX, site open-ings are planned for sev-eral US cities in the next few years. Permanent sites will also offer the opportunity to schedule machine and safety train-ing at the high school and community-college level, as well as demonstration and customer apprecia-tion events for local dis-tributors.

At the same time, through collaborations with local distributors, Extreme Sandbox will em-bark on periodic road tours that spread the message of a thrilling experience and a rewarding career to local communities across the country, via tailgating events, state fairs, festivals, parades, etc. b

Paul Brydges became the first landscape archi-tect to hold the position of president of Land-scape Ontario, officially beginning his two-year mandate at the horticul-tural association’s annu-al general meeting Jan. 13.

A graduate of the Uni-versity of Guelph’s land-scape architect program in 1994, Brydges serves as the principal and se-nior architect at Brydges Landscape Architecture in Guelph.

The theme of his ten-ure will be “drawn to-gether,” which Brydges says illustrates the im-portance of collaboration amongst LO members for the betterment of the profession.

“The daily driving force and message in our design office are that of teamwork and relation-ships,” Brydges wrote in the January issue of LO magazine. “As land-scape architects, our big-gest role is and should be that of a coach. We lis-ten to our clients’ needs, wants and wishes and blend the realistic with the fantastic. This is the same platform that LO is built upon in so many re-spects.”

He added, “Our big-gest hurdle in achiev-ing and maintaining our modern landscape is to

overcome the shortage of qualified team mem-bers and also the percep-tion of our profession as mowers of lawns and shovellers of snow; those days are generations gone. If we can look at ourselves in the proper light and realize through education and years of on-the-job training that we are professionals, we can change our market perception. That is how we are going to bring young professionals into the profession, as well as interest students to move into programs that will qualify them for the ca-reers.”

Brydges was elected by the LO provincial board of directors last fall after serving in a variety of roles on the board, including most recently as its second vice president after stints as the design sec-tor representative and as a volunteer with the LO Canada Blooms gar-den design team.

LO executive director Tony DiGiovanni said, “President Paul has a powerful and profound message that provides clarity about how our sector enhances lives by what we do and who we are. He wants to re-mind all of us that we are much more than an industry; we are a pro-

fession. Together we contribute to making the world a better place. Landscape Ontario looks forward to helping Paul communicate this mes-sage internally and ex-ternally. Paul is also the first practicing landscape architect at the helm of our organization. It re-minds us that all sectors in our wonderful pro-fession are interrelated and interdependent. Our profession is better to-gether.”

The Landscape Ontar-io 2016 provincial board includes: Paul Brydges, president; Warren Patter-son, first vice president; David Wright, second vice president; Dave Braun, past president; Lindsay Nightingale, treasurer; Gerwin Bouman, growers; Mark Humphries, snow and ice; Steve Macartney, irrigation; Brian Marsh, grounds; Alan White, lawn care; Peter Guinane, contractors; Michael Van Dongen, garden centre; Stephen Schell, interior; James Solecki, lighting; Blake Tubby, member-at-large; Gregg Salivan, member-at-large; Michael Pascoe, London chap-ter; Brian Baun, Durham chapter; Thomas Blatter, Waterloo chapter; Donald Tellier, Windsor chap-ter; Chris Burns, Ottawa chapter; Margot Burns, Georgian Lakeland chap-ter; Terry Child, Upper Canada chapter; and Tim Cruickshanks, Golden Horseshow chapter. b

The Canadian Truck-ing Alliance (CTA) says officials from Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s office have confirmed me-dia reports suggesting the new government is mov-ing forward to replace cur-rent requirements for truck drivers to complete paper log books with a mandate that trucks be equipped with Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) as the standard mechanism for monitoring, auditing and enforcing compliance with national hours of service regulations.

In addition, it was con-firmed that a new manu-facturing standard will be introduced to require that all new heavy trucks sold in Canada be equipped with an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

CTA, which is a fed-eration of the provincial trucking associations, rep-resenting over 4,500 truck-ing companies nationally, welcomes confirmation of both initiatives.

“We have been advo-cating for both of these key safety measures for over a decade now,” says CTA president, David Bradley. “We know that Transport Canada has been working on both issues but with a new government in charge we needed to confirm the commitment is moving for-ward at the political level. I am satisfied that commit-ment is in place.”

ELDs are devices used to track, collect and record data on a truck driver’s hours of service. The fed-eral hours of service regu-lation, which is designed to combat driver fatigue, is arguably the most impor-tant element of the Nation-al Safety Code for Trucks. ESC systems help protect against truck rollovers and other loss of control inci-dents by automatically en-gaging the engine retarder and applying a truck’s brakes even before the driver is aware of the need for increased stability.

According to CTA, the

benefits in terms of safety and administration of both measures outweigh the costs for both the trucking industry and for govern-ment.

While Transport Canada cannot give a firm date for introduction of the regula-tions at this time, it is ex-pected to align implemen-tation as closely as possible to the timetable for similar measures in the U.S. – late 2017 or early 2018.

Now that it has the commitment of the fed-eral government, the industry is calling upon the provinces to imple-ment an identical ELD mandate for those truck-ing operations that come under provincial juris-diction, says Bradley. Under the Canadian constitution the federal government has jurisdic-tion over extra-provin-cial trucking operations (i.e., those that cross provincial and/or inter-national borders) while the provincial govern-ments are responsible for intra-provincial trucking operations (those that operate solely within a province). b

The resignation of Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul-Mah-di last month came at a tough time for upstream development in Iraq, which has been losing pace over recent months due to dropping oil prices. Indeed, one of the most significant global oil pro-duction growth drivers has been derailed, ac-cording to an analyst with research and consulting firm GlobalData.

Despite the country’s wealth of resource, bud-getary constraints caused by low oil prices, political disputes, and a prolonged conflict with ISIS have im-pacted the Iraqi govern-ment’s ability to maintain the tremendous levels of capital investment re-quired to realize targeted production levels. This has resulted in the Iraqi Oil Ministry revising its production targets from 9 million barrels per day (mmbd) to 6 mmbd by 2020.

Ali Al-Killidar, Global-

Data’s Analyst covering Oil and Gas, says that cur-rent production is around 4.3 mmbd, and Global-Data forecasts closer to 5 mmbd by 2020, primarily due to budget cuts faced by consortiums across the whole of Iraq.

Al-Killidar explains: “Generally, revenues from Iraq’s southern fields, which account for 95% of the state’s budget, are not enough to cover all the state’s budgetary expenses and repay oil companies for their investments in the upstream sector, and Abdul-Mahdi warned operators about this. Ac-cording to Iraqi officials, the potential for a low price environment was overlooked when the contracts were initially drawn up.

“In May 2015, BP agreed to cut its budget for the Rumaila field by US$1 billion from the initially-planned US$3.5 billion, leaving produc-

tion steady at the current rate of 1.4 mmbd. Al-though the 2016 budget for the field has not been reported, a similar cut in investment is expected, with the primary focus of the operator shifting to offset the natural de-cline, at 17%.”

Despite the numer-ous adverse events the Iraqi oil industry has ex-perienced of late, Iraqi authorities have retaken oil fields from ISIS with international support, opening up the possibil-ity of redevelopment.

Al-Killidar adds: “As a consequence of the con-flict, field infrastructure sustained extensive dam-age during fighting and the Iraqi government has lost up to 400,000 barrels per day of production during the conflict.

“Redevelopment to salvage the fields has yet to be planned, par-tially due to the lingering threat of ISIS. However, should the group be eliminated, the govern-ment is likely to rein-vest in the restoration of these fields over the long term.” b

Iraq’s Oil Minister Resigned In Midst Of Instability Crisis

The Minister of En-vironment and Climate Change, Catherine McK-enna, marked Earth Day on April 22 by attending the Paris Agreement sign-ing ceremony at the Unit-ed Nations in New York alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, when Canada and other coun-tries formally accepted the Agreement, adopted last December.

On Earth Day, Canadi-ans also saw the launch of a new interactive website to seek input from Canadi-ans, including Indigenous peoples, on how to ad-dress climate change and promote clean growth.

This engagement tool will allow Canadians to be part of a national conversation on climate change, share their ideas and see what others are saying. This is an op-portunity to provide feedback on what indi-viduals, families, orga-nizations, communities, businesses and govern-

ments can do to reduce greenhouse gas emis-sions and adapt to cli-mate change.

Engaging the public is an essential part of devel-oping a Canadian plan on clean growth and climate change, and builds on the Vancouver Declaration adopted by First Ministers at their meeting on March 3, 2016.

Contributions received via the interactive website will be reviewed by mem-bers of the four different working groups that have been created to provide recommendations to First Ministers on:•how and where to re-

duce emissions• ideas for new innova-

tion, technology and job creation

•how to put a price on carbon

•preparing for the im-pacts of climate changeCanadians are encour-

aged to submit ideas on-line by June 1, 2016, in order for them to be re-

viewed by working group members. However, it should be noted that the Government of Canada will continue to accept ideas after this date.

The website will also offer Canadians the tools they need to hold town halls to engage their com-munities from the grass-roots.Quote

“Engaging Canadians on our plans and efforts to address climate change is something I view as es-sential, and I hope that Canadians from coast to coast to coast will take part in our efforts to cre-ate a climate smart econo-my and country.

“Tomorrow, we will sign the historic Paris cli-mate change agreement, a fitting celebration for Earth Day. I encourage ev-eryone to join the online conversation and be part of the solution by making your suggestions online or hosting a town hall on climate change and clean growth in your commu-nities.” – The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Min-ister of Environment and Climate Change. b

Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas in-troduced two new models in its HX Series of Tier 4 Final-compliant hydraulic excavators – the HX140L and HX235LCR. These two machines provide up to 10-percent better fuel economy and 5-percent increased productivity ver-sus previous models. They

join a family of seven other Hyundai HX excavator models the company intro-duced in 2015 to U.S. and Canadian markets.

The HX140L excava-tor is a 14-metric ton (14 200-kg / 31,310-lb) mod-el, powered by a Perkins 1204F Tier 4 Final engine rated at 116 hp (87 kW). It achieves a maximum

dig depth of 22 ft 1 in (6 730 mm) and maxi-mum digging reach of 32 ft 9 in (9 980 mm), and provides bucket digging force of 24,890 lbf (11 290 kgf). The HL140L excavator is equipped with a standard 0.76-yd3 (0.58-m3) capacity, 39.4-in-wide (1 000-mm) bucket.

The 24-metric ton (24 000-kg / 64,301-lb) Hyundai HX235LCR ex-cavator is a compact-radius model, featuring a Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 Final engine rated at 183 hp (136 kW). Per-formance specs include a maximum digging depth of 22 ft (6 700 mm), max-imum digging reach of 32 ft 6 in (9 910 mm), and bucket digging force of 37,104 lbf (16 830 kgf). Capacity of the standard 39.4-in-wide (1 000-mm) bucket is 1.05 yd3 (0.80 m3). Industry-Leading Operating Environment

“Like other models in the HX series, the new Hyundai HX140L and HX-235LCR excavators come packed with high-end fea-tures,” said Corey Rogers, Marketing Manager, Hyun-dai Construction Equip-ment Americas.

For example, both new

HX excavator models in-clude as standard equip-ment an 8-inch (20.3-cm) interactive, adjustable, touchscreen cluster-moni-tor in the cab. The monitor in the HX140L model in-cludes haptic remote con-trol, providing easier oper-ator accessibility and better ergonomics. The haptic re-mote control delivers reac-tive, tactile sensations us-ing vibrations and pulses to guide the operator through menu selections.

Viewable on the moni-tor, which is standard equipment on both the HX140L and the HX235L-CR, is the Hyundai-exclu-sive AAVM – or All-Around View Monitoring – an op-tional system that provides a 360⁰-surround virtual op-erating view. Included in AAVM is the IMOD (Intel-ligent Moving Object De-tection) system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 16.5 feet (5 m) of the ma-chine. The AAVM system helps make the Hyundai HX series among the saf-est excavators to operate on any jobsite in North America.Better fuel economy, enhanced cabs, improved hydraulics

New Tier 4 Final en-gine technologies, a more efficient vertically stacked cooling design, efficient electronic fan clutch, and hydraulic system innova-tions on the Hyundai HX series excavators contrib-ute to an overall fuel effi-

ciency improvement of up to 10 percent compared with previous models.

The Hyundai HX series excavators feature large cabs with enhanced cli-mate-control, more leg and foot space from the seat to the pedals, reduced in-cab sound level, heated opera-tor’s seat with standard air suspension and integrated console. Additional fea-tures include a Bluetooth audio system and Miracast wireless functionality for viewing a mobile device screen on the monitor.

An improved hydraulic system includes an inno-vative Boom Float mode for better grading control, Fine Swing mode for im-proved load control when swinging, and up to 13-per-cent faster cycle speeds than previous models. The HX140L and HX235L also feature IPC (Intelligent Power Control) computer-aided power optimization based on load demand, and Eco Breaker mode for selectable pump flow and improved fuel consump-tion when working with Hyundai hydraulic break-ers and many other attach-ments. The combination of faster cycle times and more power result in productiv-ity increases of up to 5 per-cent.

Enhanced reliability fea-tures on the HX series in-clude reinforced longer-life pins and bushings coupled with wear-resistant poly-mer shims and newly de-signed cab shock mounts

with dual shock absorption for reduced vibration and noise and improved op-erator comfort. Serviceabil-ity enhancements include ground-level access to the fuel filter and convenient exterior access to the cab air filter. Additional guard rails provide greater safety while performing mainte-nance and inspections on the upper structure deck.Industry leading warranties

The Hyundai HX140L and HX235LCR excavators are protected by Hyundai’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour standard warranty and five-year, 5,000-hour structural war-ranty. Hyundai also in-cludes three years of free access to its Hi-Mate re-mote management system which provides a variety of remote monitoring and diagnostic services.Learn More

Moving 8 to 10 million bushels of material is a re-spectable year’s work for any river dock. When the material you’re moving is a seasonal field crop, the challenge moves up to an-other level.

That’s the challenge that Gavilon barge facility in Decatur, AL was facing when Vaughn Gambrell was named Superintendent of the site. Gavilon, a lead-ing global commodity man-agement firm, acquired this dock on the Tennessee Riv-er to transload and store 1 million bushels of corn and grain here annually.

To meet this target, Gavilon needed a mate-rial handler that could keep pace through seasonal peaks, with as little down-time as possible while vessels were waiting. The chosen solution was a Sen-nebogen 840 R-HD and,

with the facility’s first few seasons behind him, Gam-brell is sure it was the right choice.

The dependability of the green machine came through recently when a grain shipment was re-routed to the Decatur facil-ity, with an urgent need to offload quickly. Barges ran loads from the vessel non-stop for 30 consecutive days, and the 840 never missed a step.Purpose-built for grain-handling

The 840 R-HD is the first purpose-built mate-rial handler Gambrell has operated. “At my previous location, we worked with a converted excavator,” he explains. “This Sennebo-gen was something new for me.” Purchased in 2011, the D-Series 840 model is mounted on a crawler un-dercarriage and equipped

with a long reach banana boom, which carries a 5.5 yard (4.2 m3) clamshell bucket.

The machine spends most of its time perched on a concrete platform over-looking the river. The 360 degree same lift capacity gives it an extra measure of stability, which opera-tors appreciate when they pull up a full bucket load with the boom fully ex-tended. “You work more efficiently when you have that feeling of confidence in the machine,” says Gambrell. He often takes a turn at operating the 840 himself. “I love it!” he reports. “It’s very easy to handle, and it’s easy to train new operators. The joystick controls have a very intuitive feel.”

With the speed and precision of the Sennebo-gen machine, transload-

John Deere Power Sys-tems is prepared today to lead OEMs through the transition from Stage IV to anticipated Stage V regula-tions with proven experi-ence and expertise.

The John Deere modu-lar building block ap-proach to emission control is proven and has led to a DPF solution that is capa-ble of complying with the requirements indicated in the EU Commission’s pro-posal COM (2014)581 con-cerning Stage V emissions. One of the significant im-pacts expected of Stage V will be the introduction of a particle number (PN) limit for engines in the 19 kW to 560 kW power band, which will necessitate use of DPF (diesel particulate filter) technology by OEMs. John Deere has been em-ploying DPF technology since Interim Tier 4/Stage III B, with more than 150 million DPF hours logged in the field.

John Deere is lever-aging new catalyst tech-nologies and emissions

ing directly from barges to trucks becomes a smooth, highly efficient process. “We can plan our logistics to load straight into the outbound trucks,” says Gambrell, “and that lets us save a step in storing the grain in our eleva-tors.”Elevated cab improves view, safety

As an experienced op-erator, Gambrell also ap-preciates the command-ing view provided by the 840’s hydraulically elevat-ing maXCab. With the cab fully raised, his eye level is about 19 ft. (5.8 m) above the ground, not includ-ing the platform the ma-chine sits on. “It’s helpful when the cab rises up, to see right into the barge, all the corners and where ev-erybody is in it,” he says. “In most machines, even with a fixed hi-rise cab, you can’t really see what’s around you. But when I’m up on the platform operat-ing the Sennebogen, I can see the guy who’s running the skid-steer in the hold. That’s important to both of

control calibrations to en-able downsizing of their aftertreatment. OEMs ben-efit by retaining the same engine performance in a reduced package size. The next generation aftertreat-ment solutions from John Deere will deliver greater package flexibility and of-fer easier installation while providing up to a 20 per-cent reduction in size and up to 40 percent reduction in weight.

“John Deere adopted DPF technology as part of an integrated emission con-trol system because it is the best solution for most ap-plications. By treating NOx and PM downstream of the engine, John Deere engines with DPF are optimized for increased torque response, low-speed torque, and fluid efficiency; and provide re-sponsive power at higher altitudes,” said John Pias-ecki, director of marketing, sales and customer support for John Deere Power Sys-tems.

John Deere Power Sys-tems has extensive experi-

us!”Crawler tracks increase utilization

In addition to its day job, the Sennebogen earns its keep moving material within the facility’s 40-acre (16 hectares) site. Gavilon can store nearly 2 million bushels of grain here, and about half of it stocked in ground piles. The 840’s long reach helps to main-tain stockpiles up to 40 feet high (12.2 m). Gambrell also uses it to assist in tarp-ing the piles by supporting most of the tarp’s weight and positioning it while crews on the ground se-cure it.

Until the company added a large concrete pad this year, the ground piles were literally on the ground. Travel on the site could be treacherous after heavy rains. Gam-brell notes that his skid-steers and 4x4 trucks of-ten get stuck in the deep mud, but the Sennebogen has no trouble traveling around the work site on its wide crawler tracks. “We haven’t got the Sen-

ence with the development and integration of DPF technology in both John Deere and OEM equipment through Stage III B and Stage IV implementation. This experience continues to lead to enhancements in efficiency and optimization of aftertreatment solutions that strengthen application flexibility for OEM custom-ers.

“This depth of diverse application experience ex-tends throughout our dis-tributor network and with all John Deere service deal-ers; they have a comfort level with DPF technology because John Deere has been using it for years,” Pi-asecki said.

Piasecki said John Deere recognizes as Stage V approaches, OEMs new to DPF technology may be worried it will add instal-lation complexity or affect operational performance. “We are committed to help-ing OEMs through every step of the application pro-cess to make it as seamless as possible,” Piasecki said.

nebogen stuck yet, but we’re trying,” jokes Gam-brell. High throughput with low operating cost

The dependability of the 840 pays off in cost savings as well as pro-ductivity. Gambrell says his maintenance crew finds troubleshooting to be very simple with plain and simple error codes appearing on the machine’s diagnostics screen. For an emer-gency repair, Gambrell can call on his nearby Tractor & Equipment Co. (TEC) branch, Sennebo-gen’s regional distribu-tor. According to Donnie Burgreen, TEC’s Branch Vice-President, service response time for the Decatur site is “immedi-ate.”

Fuel efficiency adds to those savings. “The 840 gets good fuel econ-omy,” Gambrell says. “We can unload almost two barges on one tank of fuel.” b

“We are well positioned to transfer our experience level directly to our cus-tomers, giving them peace of mind and a distinct ad-vantage in the process. John Deere has expertise in integrating the engine and drivetrain into the rest of the vehicle for optimized performance, operator con-venience, fluid economy and overall value.”

John Deere is prepared for the growing complexity in world emissions stan-dards; by 2022, there may be at least five different levels of emissions stan-dards globally. “We are fully committed to support-ing our customers around the world with solutions to meet their unique appli-cation needs,” said Geoff Stigler, director – sales, marketing and customer support – EAME, ASIA and AU for John Deere Power Systems. “OEMs, regard-less of location, are best served through timely and strategic preparation, and John Deere is ready to help them identify and imple-ment the best solutions for their business. Our modular building block approach offers greater ap-plication flexibility to help OEMs meet increasingly challenging machine de-sign goals. b

2016 HYDROSPADE 600 TRAILER

Wade Day is a second-generation lifer. He’s been in the trucking business for as long as he can remem-ber – following in the foot-steps of his father, Doug Day, who began his own career driving coal trucks in Kentucky. When Wade was old enough to drive, he helped in the construc-tion of Interstate 65 in In-diana by piloting a dump

truck for his father’s small company. That business eventually morphed into Day’s Express, which fo-cused on cross-country refrigerated transport and grew to a fleet of 225 trac-tors. After college, Day worked there in various operational capacities, in-cluding dispatch.

“My Dad saw good times and bad, and ended

up having to fold Day’s Express in 1991,” recalled Day. “He started Hoosier Air soon after that, and I went to work for him there in 1997.” His father chose the “Air” part of the com-pany’s name because he liked the air-ride suspen-sion, which helps give cargo a better ride down the road. According to Wade, all of that experi-ence helped when he took over Hoosier Air Transport from his father in 2012. “Up until three years ago, we were running general freight,” said Day. “But we’ve since switched over to a full refrigerated fleet, which matches well with our penchant for customer service and on-time deliv-ery.”

Today, Hoosier Air op-erates 85 tractors and 100 reefer trailers. The com-pany has standardized on the Kenworth T680 with 76-inch sleeper, powered by the PACCAR MX-13 engine rated at 455 hp and optimized with the Eaton Fuller Advan-

tage 10-speed automated transmission. The T680s – 32 so far – were pur-chased through Kenworth of Indianapolis.

“We will match our service against anyone in the industry,” said Day. “And we feel the T680 helps us in that regard. Our on-time delivery rate is 99.9 percent and our driver turnover is less than 20 percent – even with our drivers on the road six- to 10 days at a time. The T680 certainly helps lower our turnover, as the drivers absolutely love the trucks. But, we also run a drop-and-hook operation so there are no delays – drivers are al-ways on the go making money.”

From an operational standpoint, Hoosier Air has seen a significant boost in fuel econo-my over the trucks the T680s replaced. “We’ve been a SmartWay fleet, so we have trailer skirts and even boat tails, plus SmartWay-verified tires. Prior to the T680, our drivers were getting up to the mid 7s in fuel economy. Out of the gate with the T680 and MX-13 engine, we saw an 8 mpg* average. Our very top driver has been aver-

aging 9 mpg. I remember when I first started in the business – trucks were averaging 4 to 4.5 mpg. What we’re getting now is something else.”

I remember when I first started in the business – trucks were averaging 4 to 4.5 mpg. What we’re getting now is something else.”

While the T680s are less than a year old and have been ultra-reliable, Day said keeping the trucks rolling down the road has taken a quantum leap forward thanks to Kenworth’s TruckTech+ remote diagnostics. The system interprets fault codes and provides fleet managers and drivers with needed information.

Email notifications to cus-tomers may instruct the driver to keep driving – no action required; keep driving and have the fault addressed during the next service interval; head to a dealer for service; or pull over to prevent damage. If the customer needs to take the truck in for ser-vice, the system maps out the locations of the three closest repair facilities.

“TruckTech+ gives us real-time information and that’s vital to keep our fleet running,” said Day. “I feel remote diagnos-tics is one of the biggest advancements we’ve seen in truck technology in many years. It’s as if we were driving blind before, but now we have visibil-ity. TruckTech+ is key for us in knowing exactly what’s happening with our trucks – whether we need immediate service, or if we can continue on and handle the issue at a later time. Before, if the fault light came on, our driver would call dispatch and we’d have to spend time figuring out what was happening. With TruckTech+ we know and can make immediate decisions.” b

UNTIMED POWER BOOST: STRENGTH ON YOUR SCHEDULEWe know what it’s like to sit in the operator’s seat when you hit solid rock. The power boost button on most excavators can deliver the extra force you need to break through – but only in short bursts. We knew there had to be a better way, so we took our jobsite experience and collaborated with our engineers. The result is an untimed power boost that comes standard in all KOBELCO conventional excavators from the SK210LC to the SK500LC. It provides all the extra muscle you need continuously so you can power through the toughest jobs without interruption.
