UTILITIES

The work of Art Art Van Camp has been a fixture in the heavy equipment community. His efforts were recently honoured with an induction into the ORBA Hall of Fame. Page A8




The most intriguing aspect of construction is its social and economic spin off.

Take, for example, the construction of a small, publicly-funded community centre, and the first cere-monial shovel used to pierce the ground.

Before arriving at the site, that seemingly simple shovel contributes to the wellbeing of many people from many communities, from forestry to mining to manufacturing to delivery and eventually its sale.

And that’s just a single shovel.

Now, imagine factoring in the economic ripple effect of every tool and material on the job site. It’s seemingly endless. More so when you think of the people that will use the final structure.

Organizations like the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) help ensure that spin off isn’t unfairly drained from our economy via imported goods.

The duties on fabricated structural steel, for example, have been implemented by CITT after proof that China, South Korea and Spain

were illegally dumping into Canada. An appeal of the CITT’s decision is currently still pending in the Federal Court of Appeal.

Despite the duties imple-mented by CITT, the federal government recently waived the tariffs on fabricated steel from China for the construc-tion of two liquid natural gas projects — LNG Canada and Woodfibre LNG — in British Columbia.

“There is no justification for the Government of Can-ada to hand over the largest construction project in our country’s history to Chinese steel producers,” said Ken Neumann, national director of the United Steel Workers.

In British Columbia, steel directly supports 5,000 jobs, as well as thousands of indirect jobs. Steel in BC alone generates an annual revenue of $1.5 billion. The LNG projects are also mod-ular construction, meaning structures will be prefabri-cated in China, and will require fewer construction workers at the actual site.

“The announcement was very disappointing,” said Ed Whalen, president and CEO of the Canadian Insti-

tute of Steel Construction. “These two projects, if done in Canada, would have cre-ated hundreds of thousands of construction jobs for all trades across the country.”

Ironically, the federal gov-ernment contributed $275 million to LNG Canada to encourage its development, while the maximum duty on the steel from China would have also generated $275 million.

It’s absurd to think that all spin off from any economic activity could be contained by a nation’s borders. How-ever, it’s also absurd to think that our government would spend tax dollars to help ship potential prosperity overseas.

Powerscreen is preparing to launch the latest addition to its jaw crushing range.

The yet-to-be-released Powerscreen Pre-miertrak 330 is fitted with a simple, but large fixed hopper, manufactured from an 8 mm wear plate, improving set up time, reducing pegging and increasing the life of wear parts.

The hydrostatic drive allows reversibility of the chamber, allowing the machine to unblock and run in reverse, which equals easier crushing of certain materials.

“The Premiertrak 330 is a solid addition to the Powerscreen jaw crushing range. The lightweight machine, weighing less than 35,000 kg with options, boasts a number of new features,” said Neil Robinson, product manager at Powerscreen.

As well, a low engine speed improves fuel consumption and provides lower noise emissions for working in urban or restricted areas.

The Premiertrak 330 crusher uses a 1,000 mm x 600 mm jaw chamber and is capable of producing up to 280 tonnes per hour of crushed material.

It can be used in a range of applications

including aggregate, recycling and mining.“The Premiertrak 330 has been designed

to promote an easy and effective flow of material to minimize any potential build-up, therefore maximizing uptime,’ Robinson said. “Contributing to this is a two piece grizzly feeder with the second section an-gled, which allows a better material flow towards the chamber and prevents bridging. These are just some of the features that contribute to the astounding low cost per tonne performance of the Premiertrak 330.”’

Since 2014, Powerscreen has been a pi-oneer in crusher telematics, being the first mobile crushing and screening manufac-turer to offer such a solution.

All Powerscreen crushers come with the Pulse Intelligence system as standard. Powerscreen Pulse is a remote monitoring, fleet management system allowing crushing and screening equipment operators and owners to have access to key data. Data has the power to revolutionize operations and analyzing it can mean improved machine operation, increased uptime, in-depth reporting and fleet management.

Powerscreen Pulse Intelligence is avail-

able anywhere at any time, on a PC, tablet or smartphone. The system provides com-prehensive information on the GPS location,

start and stop times, fuel consumption, ton-nages, cone settings, wear ratings, operating hours and maintenance status.

Powerscreen is launching a new Premiertrak jaw crusher




Since his childhood, Art Van Camp has been cap-

tivated by construction and the machines used to get the job done.

A “human Rolodex” of heavy equipment knowledge, according to Cox Construc-tion President Regan Cox, Van Camp developed his fas-cination for machinery at an early age. And throughout his career, his resume has grown to mirror his enthusiasm.

Van Camp has worked as an operator, a heavy equip-ment dealer, a director of the Ontario Road Building Asso-ciation (ORBA), a director of the John Deere Dealer-ship association, a director of the Historical Construc-tion Equipment Association (HCEA) Canada, president of the Canadian Association of Equipment Distributors and a committee member of the Ontario Stone Sand and Gravel Association.

“Work was my hobby as well as my job. I never really thought of it as a job and I don’t really have any other hobbies,” Van Camp said.

Hall of FamerEarlier this year, Van

Camp’s dedication to heavy equipment was honoured with an induction into the ORBA Hall of Fame. For Van Camp, the nomination was, to say the least, surprising.

“I almost fell over. I never anticipated that happening and I was just totally shocked. Being inducted is one of the highlights of my career,” Van Camp said. “You’re elected by peers and you’re elected among people that I never thought I was of the same calibre.”

Michael Rugeroni, vice president of Nortrax Can-ada, submitted Van Camp’s nomination papers for the ORBA Hall of Fame.

“He’s been a huge con-tributor to our world. He’s been a friend of the business, a friend of the manufactur-er, a friend of the dealer and a friend of the customer,”

Rugeroni said. “Everything he’s done in his life has been dedicated to making con-struction, roadbuilding and construction equipment better.

“He happened to do most of it with a John Deere flag on his shoulder, and it made it an exciting time for most of us.”

Rugeroni added Van Camp is one of few Hall of Fame inductees that followed a ca-reer path in heavy equipment sales.

“Not very many equipment salesmen get in. It’s usually the contractors that get in-ducted,” Rugeroni said. “It was a proud moment.”

Following his induction at ORBA’s 92nd annual con-vention and general meeting, Van Camp becomes the as-sociation’s 23rd member to join the Hall of Fame.

“Art is probably the most knowledgeable man I’ve ever met in the world of construc-tion equipment,” Ted Arscott, president of Roto-Mill, said in ORBA’s Hall of Fame video. “He’s been supplying advice to the road building industry for over 40 years. Art is the kind of people we need in our industry and our Hall of Fame.”

In the cabAs a teenager, Van Camp

began working at his family’s sand and gravel business in Port Perry, Ontario. It was there that he developed a reputation as a dozer oper-ator.

“I had a desire to be the best at what I did,” Van Camp said. “I’m not bragging, but it got to the point where people would ask for a bulldozer with me operating it.”

After a few years working as an operator at his family’s business, his passion for heavy iron caught the atten-tion of a friend in equipment sales, and Van Camp was offered a job selling motor graders. He was tasked with the territory of Eastern On-tario, covering Mattawa to Hastings to Quebec.

“My first year in sales I think I drove 116,000 miles,” Van Camp said.

A life-changing ConExpoVan Camp would set his

sights on a new career path after attending the 1975 Con-Expo in Chicago. At the show, Deere unveiled its plans to manufacture bigger con-struction machines.

“That was the year John Deere stole the show. That was the year they showed the world they weren’t just going to build little crawl-ers and backhoes, they were going to go full time in heavy construction equipment,” Van Camp said. “It was just so impressive. I came back from there and made the goal for myself that one day I was going to be a John Deere dealer.”

About a year and a half after ConExpo, Van Camp achieved his goal. John Deere had an opening for a dealer covering the Hamilton and Niagara regions, and A.H. Van Camp Equipment was born in Stoney Creek, Ontario.

Although his feet were planted in the equipment sales side of construction, Van Camp would still make room for some stick time.

His dealership included space for equipment testing. During stressful days, he’d in-struct his staff that he wasn’t taking any phone calls, and ask the mechanics if there were any machines that re-quired testing for leaks.

“That’s how I would get rid of frustration. I can tell you if there was going to be a leak, I would have found it,” Van Camp said.

“I’d go out there and work for a half hour. I’d take it back in and say, ‘wash it up, it’s ready to go.’”

Dealer advocacyHis knowledge as an oper-

ator also helped to fine tune many products from John Deere Construction. Van Camp came up with idea of establishing dealer and cus-

tomer advocacy groups that would help shape the abilities of new product releases.

“Before you bring a product out, don’t just let engineers design something. I said you need to have customers, you need to have operators and dealers provide input,” Van Camp said.

During a drive to Niagara Falls in 1985, he pitched the advocacy group idea to Jim White, who at the time was senior vice president of John Deere.

“Jim used to come up and travel with me. That program was conceived in my car,” Van Camp said.

“He said, ‘that’s an idea.’ He was an ex-marine, and when he decided on something, that was it. The decision was made.”

From there, Van Camp would contribute to the de-velopment of about 34 Deere machines. His last contribu-tion to the advocacy group was working on the develop-ment of the 944K wheel loader, which was released in 2015.

“That was a part of my ca-reer I really enjoyed. Being an ex-operator made it even better,” Van Camp said.

Creating Ontrac In 1998, A.H Van Camp

merged with Woodland Tractor and formed Ontrac Equipment Services Inc.

“Back in the 1990s, con-solidated was the buzzword for any manufacturer,” Van Camp recalled.

With the new company, Ontrac began to acquire

dealerships across Eastern Canada. By 2002, Ontrac grew to include 22 heavy equip-ment dealerships, spread out across Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.

“At that time, we crossed three and a half time zones, because Newfoundland is a half hour ahead of Atlantic,” Van Camp said.

Deere would eventually buy a third of Ontrac, before outright purchasing the net-work of dealerships in 2004. The company would trans-form into Nortrax Canada in 2008.

Van Camp became the executive vice president of Nortrax, where he worked until retirement in 2014.

“I did what I loved my en-tire working life,” Van Camp said.

“Work was my hobby as well

as my job”

Major, a Quebec-based manufacturer of screening media, has introduced the Flex-Mat Sensor, an easy to operate vibration data meas-urement tool.

The sensor allows its users to review results and fine tune their screen machine without shutting down the equipment.

The app-controlled vibra-tion analysis sensor enables readings of screen box vi-brations within seconds and generates a report that can be sent or reviewed. The simplicity of the system’s design ensures valuable and actionable data without the requirement for a plant shut-down to calibrate the sensor.

“Our focus is on making our customers more prof-itable and productive. This technology does that by putting a wealth of screen performance data into the palm of their hand,” said Peter Bauer, Major’s R&D and innovation manager. “The simplicity of our system makes it extremely accessible and allows dealers and their customers to make educated decisions to improve per-formance and profits.”

The Flex-Mat S ens or enables users to measure

and — almost immediately — view vibration data. The operator connects the single sensor to the Flex-Mat Sensor app on their phone before placing the sensor on one corner of the machine. The user will continue to move the sensor to each corner of the machine until finished. Once the measurement process is completed, the information will be delivered to the phone in the time it takes to climb down from the machine.

Information is stored locally for ease of use and viewing in areas with cellular limitations. Once a signal is available, the information uploads to Major’s cloud service where it is viewable from a web browser. Histor-ical equipment performance data is also viewable through the cloud.

The sensor measures G-force, stroke, rpm and orbit, including lateral move-ment — a measurement not offered by many vibration analysis systems.

Producers can use the data to monitor and fine tune screen box performance, as well as make parameter decisions with minimal guesswork.

For example, it’s difficult to tell just by looking at it whether a screen that’s sup-posed to be operating at 800 rpm is operating at 900 rpm, because the difference in vibration could be just a few millimetres, but the extra could mean too much carry-over.

The sensor makes that in-formation easy to access. The data can also give indications of what kind of screen media would be most effective on the machine.

Though the sensor is not meant to serve as a screen machine diagnostic tool, the information it provides can point to possible prob-lems with the equipment. One corner of a screen per-forming differently from the others, for example, may mean further investigation is necessary. The tool allows operators to use the results to determine whether a more technical analysis from an alternative, in-depth system is needed.

The sensor kit includes one sensor, instructions, a USB charging cable and instruc-tions on how to download the Vibration app. The app will be available for iOS and Android phones.

Komatsu America Corp’s new WA900-8 wheel loader is promising to allow oper-ators to load more trucks per shift, in a more comfortable environment.

The 116,400 kg wheel load-er is equipped with an EPA Tier 4 Final certified engine, and is purpose-built to load 70 to 150 ton haul trucks.

The SSA12V140E-7 engine delivers a net horsepower of 899, a five per cent increase compared to the WA900-3E0. Variable Geometry Turbochargers (VGT) ensure precise engine control and quick response.

Dual KDPFAs well, the WA900-8 fea-

tures dual Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filters (KDPF), with no Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system and no DEF is required.

“The WA900-8 is the per-fect machine for loading haul trucks in limestone pits be-cause the all new Komatsu bucket design, with modified profile, maximizes bucket fill to increase productivity,” said Robert Hussey, product mar-keting manager for Komatsu America Corp.

“The large pillarless cab offers great visibility, and the higher capacity air sus-pension seat along with the Electronically Controlled Suspension System (ECSS), provides a smooth ride for better travel performance to keep operators comfortable throughout long shifts.”

New tech in the WA900-8The new wheel loader

features advanced machine monitoring system, with on-board diagnostics viewable with the 18 cm LCD monitor. For machine troubleshooting, a laptop is not required.

The WA900-8 is a ls o equipped with KomVision with radar obstacle detec-tion, a six-camera system on a dedicated LCD monitor, that provides a bird’s-eye view around the machine and an audible alert when an obstacle is detected in the working area for improved

operator situational aware-ness.

Ko mat su ’s e n ha n c e d KOMTRAX Plus delivers im-mediate remote diagnostics of machine heath and perform-ance with operator ID and integration with third party telematics systems.

For efficiency, the WA900-8 includes Eco guidance, which provides the operator with real-time recommendations to improve machine operation efficiency.

With a completely re-designed front and rear frame and loader linkages, the WA900-8 is the most durable chassis in model history for Komatsu.

Furthermore, a new stan-dard brake cooling system reduces brake oil temper-ature, resulting in longer brake-service life.

An engine pre-lubrication system raises engine oil pres-sure before startup to ensure full lubrication of all engine components.

SmartLoader LogicKomatsu’s SmartLoader

Logic helps reduce fuel con-sumption, while maintaining production levels. A closed centre load sensing hydraulic system delivers hydraulic flow based on application demand, saving fuel and reducing hy-draulic oil temperatures.

For traction, the WA900-8 is equipped with a Variable Traction Control System and Modulation Clutch System that provides optimal trac-tive effort for various ground conditions.

A throttle lock with au-to-deceleration improves cycle times by maintaining high work-equipment per-formance.

In the cabThe WA900-8 is equipped

with the Advanced Joystick Steering System (AJSS) and Electronic Pilot Control (EPC) work equipment control levers to provide quick and precise response to operator input.

Automatic dig systemFor less experienced oper-

ators, the loader’s automatic dig system, semi-automatic approach and dump system provide assistance, and also help reduce fatigue for experi-enced operators.

The WA900-8 cab also in-cludes an 18-cm monitor with dedicated review camera.

To enter the loader, 45-de-gree stairways on the left- and right-hand side of the ma-chine and walkways in front of the cab and on the rear counterweight provide easy access.

Revenue from equipment rental in Canada is expected to grow 2.1 per cent to reach about $5.5 billion in 2019, according to the ARA (American Rental Association).

The ARA updates its five-year equipment rental forecast every quarter. The latest Canadian projection, released on Aug. 19, represents a $200 million increase from the projected $5.3 billion forecast issued in May.

Equipment rental revenue is expected to continue an upward trend until 2023 in Canada. In 2020, the ARA forecasts a growth of 4.9 per cent, followed by growth of 5 per cent in 2021, 3.6 per cent in 2022 and 2.2 per cent in 2023 to reach $6.4 billion.

The current figures also represent slightly less growth through to 2022 than what was forecast in May.

“The market for the equipment and event rental industry remains positive, but there definitely are signs that the U.S. economic growth is slowing and this projected slow-down is reflected in our latest forecast,” said John McClelland, ARA vice president for government affairs and chief economist.

“Trade tensions and a slowdown in the global economy are headwinds for the econ-omy with the risk of a recession happening in the U.S. within the next 12 months at about 35 per cent.”

The first equipment rental forecast for 2023The forecast is ARA’s first to project equip-

ment rental revenue for 2023. The new stats call for equipment and event rental revenues in North America to surpass $71 billion in 2023, including $64.7 billion in the United States.

For 2019, equipment and event rental rev-enue in the United States is now expected to reach $55.7 billion, up 5 per cent compared

to 2018, with growth in 2020 and 2021 at 3.8 per cent; 4.1 per cent in 2022; and 3.3 per cent in 2023 to top $64.7 billion.

Scott Hazelton, managing director of IHS Markit, the forecasting firm that compiles data and analysis for the ARA, explained the American economy continues to decelerate this year as the stimulus from prior tax and budget incentives diminish.

“This has been exacerbated by still ongoing uncertainty over trade and tariff policy, particularly with China, and concern over the strength of the global economy. This uncertainty is likely to persist into 2020, and become further complicated by the Presidential election cycle,” Hazelton said.

“The result is a modest reduction in our near-term economic outlook, particularly for the construction and manufacturing segments on which rental depends. We have slightly lowered our expectation for rental revenue growth, but we are not expecting a downturn.”

A14 SEPTEMBER 9, 2019 EQUIPMENTJOURNAL.COM @EQUIPJOURNAL

The Toro Company is rearranging the organ-izational structure of its underground construction business.

The company plans to combine certain aspects of the Ditch Witch, American Augers and Trencor busi-nesses, all of which were

part of the Charles Ma-chine Works acquisition announced by Toro earlier this year.

The realignment supports

a streamlined approach to the marketing, sales and service functions of those businesses to more effect-ively support end customer

needs, according to Toro. “We continue to be very

excited about the expertise, knowledge and understand-ing of the underground business that the Charles Machine Works companies bring to our organization,” said Rick Rodier, group vice president of construction businesses at The Toro Com-pany.

“Throughout the ongoing integration process, we con-tinue to be impressed by their market-leading position, strong product portfolio and best-in-class channel. It is these factors that have influenced our decision to concentrate on the Charles Machine Works’ product portfolio and brands in the underground product cat-egory going forward.”

Discontinued machinesIn a related strategic move,

the company plans to wind down its Toro-branded, large horizontal directional drill and riding trencher categor-ies.

This includes the Toro DD2226 and DD4050 dir-ectional drills, as well as the RT600 and RT1200 riding trenchers.

All Toro walk-behind trenchers will still remain

a part of the Toro Sitework Systems business.

The change is aligned with the broader integration plan and will allow the company to rationalize its product of-fering in the underground construction market quickly and efficiently.

Leveraging strengthWith the addition of the

Charles Machine Works companies to The Toro Company’s brands, there are many opportunities to leverage their strength in the underground market, while maximizing efficiencies and cost benefits.

Toro will continue to serve the rental and specialty con-struction markets with the Dingo compact utility load-ers, concrete and masonry mixers, compaction equip-ment and tree and specialty turf products.

Since closing the Charles Machine Works acquisition, integration and the resulting synergies are progressing as planned, according to Toro.

The strategic initiatives have been put in place to improve efficiencies, while allowing the company to al-locate resources to both the Toro and Charles Machine Works brands effectively.

It was December 2018 when the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) and the International Associ-ation for Foundation Drill-ing (ADSC) announced the introduction of a certifica-tion program for drill rig operators.

There was no for mal training prior to this, so the associations formed a joint task force in February 2017 to take a proactive stance.

The outcome was the es-tablishment of written and practical examinations for Foundation Drill Rig (FDR) and Anchor/Micropile Drill Rig (AMP).

Now, Equipment Corpor-ation of America (ECA) has taken their role in drill rig operator training to a new level with the establishment

of the ECA Training Center in Jacksonville, Florida.

The facility will offer a host of training types and exams related to its Bauer and Klemm lines of equipment.

A deep commitment to training

EC A’s expansion into training predated NCCCO Certification, according to Dave Schell, ECA’s corporate director of parts and service.

“The idea behind our training program kicked off a couple years ago,” he said. “We saw the need to elevate our technicians to the next level, and on the customer side, there wasn't any specific training readily available in the United States. We saw the opportunity to fill that gap.”

For ECA, 2017 was a pivot-al year, as the company was

named by Bauer Maschinen as a Bauer Regional Training Center. It was then that ser-ious discussions began about taking a more prominent role in foundation equipment training. The initial focus was placed on developing tech-nical and operator’s training for Bauer machinery.

Creating the ECA Training Center

In 2018, ECA knew that it wanted to make a more serious commitment to prac-tical training, after having success with numerous class-room sessions. There was a one-acre parcel adjacent to ECA Jacksonville in Green Cove Springs, Florida that was being used for storage. After a series of negotiations with the owner, ECA leased the land, and invested in site-

work, fencing and signage. The ECA Training Center was official.

“The goal from day one was to have a dedicated location separate of our current facili-ties where we could operate a machine, drill a hole and have live exercises,” Schell said. “The training center has been key to fulfilling our customers’ training needs.”

The ECA Training Cen-ter is dedicated to practical use, NCCCO examinations and live demonstrations, it also has a dedicated spot for classroom training. On any given day, trainers can be found assembling and disassembling rigs and executing specific drilling operations for a crowd of trainees.

Jacksonville was the ideal location, even though ECA

has eight other locations in the United States and Canada, due to its moderate climate that allows customers to receive training year-round.

From Florida to the Great White North Despite the substantial investment in the

ECA Training Center, the company continues to take training to the offices and jobsites of its customers from Florida to the most remote corners of Canada.

ECA is focused on three categories of training at this point, all of which focus on Bauer and Klemm equipment.

Technical Training provides a basic know-ledge of the principles of electrical and hydraulic systems for equipment techni-cians. This certified program includes both

classroom (theoretical) and hands-on (prac-tical) instruction.

Operator Training is a certified program that focuses on safety and efficiency. Each Program includes 4.5 days of classroom training. There is also in-depth discussion on how to execute different drilling methods with the proper equipment and tools.

The NCCCO Exam is intended to improve safety for all foundation drill rig and anchor/micropile rig operators. This certification program was designed by experts from all aspects of the industry and is not specific to one manufacturer of drill rigs.

ECA has also taken its training to the next generation of operators at Fleming College. In fact, some of the graduates of the Resour-ces Drilling Technician Course may one day be running Bauer and Klemm rigs in Canada or the United States.

“Fleming College’s Resources Drilling Technician program and ECA Canada have been building a strong relationship since the 40-year-old program introduced Foundation Drilling to the program five years ago,” said Charlie Morettie, program coordinator, Resources Drilling Technician at Fleming College.

Roadtec is introducing its new RP-250, a heavy-duty 3 metre paver that combines the advantages of rubber tires with the tractive effort of a tracked paver.

Previously, a tracked machine was the only option for areas with a soft base or steep terrain. Now, the RP-250’s diamond tread tires and adjustable suspension provide ideal weight distribution and tractive effort.

The large tires deliver increased surface contact, traction and flotation, without the price tag associated with a tracked paver. The adaptable suspension also enables the RP-250 to easily tackle hefty loads at the screed.

Augmented steering The RP-250’s augmented steering provides

precise control, particularly when turning, thanks to a tight turn radius. Steering is driv-en by the rear wheels, and oil is distributed as needed, rather than evenly. The RP-250 can redirect flow to the drive wheels for power assisted turning.

As well, the RP-250’s adjustable suspen-sion provides for uniform wheel loading in a soft or irregular base. The operator is able to control and modify the frame position as needed and the adaptable suspension may be used to increase the tractive effort to the rear wheels, which provides more stability on a soft base.

The RP-250 uses Sauer Danfoss Series 90 hydraulic pumps for propelling and ma-terial feed.

The large pumps allow the entire hydraulic circuit to run extremely cool, which prolongs the life and lowering the maintenance costs of all components.

The conveyors on the RP-250 are designed to maximize throughput while maintaining durability. Head and tail plates are made of chromium carbide-clad plate. The conveyor floor plates are also clad and simply drop in, requiring no bolts.

Each conveyor is independently driven, so material delivery can be fine-tuned for each side. Furthermore, each conveyor is outfitted with its own feeder, helping to increase material control.

Like all of Roadtec’s pavers, the RP-250 features the company’s anti-segregation design of the feed tunnel, the feed tunnel discharge and the rear augers.

The 1.9 cm thick flights of the rear auger are manufactured from cast, hardened steel. The rear augers have an outer diameter of 40 cm. The auger drive box also features a narrow design to prevent centreline segregation.

Electric Heat Screed plates on all Roadtec models are

electrically heated. A 34-kW generator pow-ers the elements and provides ample current for other electrical needs.

Furthermore, the elements can be re-moved and replaced through a side access door above the main screed plate. There’s no need to take off the entire screed plate.

The RP-250 also includes dual operator stations that can move beyond the sides of the paver to give the operator a sightline down the sides of the machine. The adjust-able operator seats feature a ride control tension system for more comfort.

The paver is powered by a Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 Final 250 hp engine.

The Roadtec RP-250: the benefits of tires with floatation of tracks

“They have hosted our students at their shop for classes and also provided the OT-B training to our students.”

As ECA does a substantial amount of busi-ness in Canada, it was critical to comply with Canadian regulations. Now, its Bauer theor-etical drill rig operator’s training conforms to the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Training’s Standard for Foundation Drill Rig Operator Licensing.

“We have fostered relationships or partner-ships with vendors such as ECA for programs including technician or mechanical training, assistance in our Driller Schools, and hydraul-ic and electrical training. ECA continues to serve a vital role as a partner in our continued focus on training,” said John Willett Equip-ment superintendent of Keller Foundations.

Much of the momentum behind ECA bringing training in-house traces back to two trainers: Joe Kinworthy and Burt Kerns. Kinworthy is a certified Bauer trainer and Kerns is Klemm certified.

“Safety is always the number one topic that probably is discussed the most in the class,” Kinworthy said, noting that today’s

owners are putting safety before low bid when evaluating contractors. “I see this training as a partnership with our customers to share the knowledge.”

Safety is not the only objective of ECA’s training. It also focuses on operation-al efficiency, maintenance and technical principles. ECA understands that customer satisfaction is driven by the productivity of its operators and technicians. The company wants its customers to be safe, productive and knowledgeable of its equipment.

“A knowledgeable customer generally is a happy customer,” Schell said. “We want to give them the feeling that they're in control of their machine.”

Bauer and Klemm are constantly innovat-ing, which results in never-ending equipment technology updates.

“Drilling a hole is no longer just drilling a hole,” said Burt Kerns, ECA’s Klemm spe-cialist, technician and trainer, noting that assistant systems, safety protocols, remote control and new applications have made running the equipment more challenging. “Our training ultimately helps them to figure it out, and ultimately makes them better, safer and more productive drillers.”

John Deere is introducing three new production class L-Series wheel loaders designed to match oper-ator comfort with machine power.

The new 744L, 824L and 844L wheel loaders are equipped with a roomier cab, new electro-hydraulic (EH) controls and an im-proved HVAC system, for more comfort and produc-tivity.

“Our customers work day in and day out on some of the toughest quarries and jobsites, making reliabil-ity and productivity critical for their operation,” said John Chesterman, prod-uct marketing manager for production class four-wheel drive loaders at John Deere Construction and Forestry.

“With the new L-Series wheel loaders, we listened to customer feedback and used that information to continue to improve our wheel loader offerings.”

One of the most notable features on the L-Series wheel loaders is the revamped cab.

The standard cab is room-ier, with about 8 cm more legroom. The wheel loaders also offer more storage space behind and next to the seat, compared to the K-Series machines.

The new seat offers heating and ventilation, as well as seat pan and tilt adjustment. The cab offers premium radio, a backup camera, automatic temperature control and power-adjusted exterior mirrors, and it is CB radio-ready.

As well, the cab door is 79 per cent wider at the floor, compared to the previous models, allowing for easier entrance and exit, and the platform has been cut out around the top step for im-proved visibility.

Joystick steering is now standard on the wheel load-ers, which helps to improve cab room. Customers can also choose to add a steering wheel as a field kit.

A new dedicated steering pump provides fast hydraulic cycle times for combined functions. Two program-mable multifunction buttons on the bucket lever help to further increase technology.

The all new EH controls offer the highest level of operator comfort as a re-sult of several key features. Soft stop features allow the boom or bucket to gradually stop when either the kick out position is reached, or the operator releases the con-trol, significantly reducing the harshness of stopping functions.

Cylinder snubbing grad-ually slows cylinders nearing the end of stroke, eliminating the harsh behaviour of end of stroke.

Finally, the wheel loaders offer programmable return to dig from the operator’s seat, which can be activated with the bucket dumped out or rolled back.

The new machines are more powerful than the previous models, with an increase of up to 9 per cent in horsepower.

All three wheel loaders boast improvements in fuel efficiency, with the 824L spe-cifically being equipped with a 9-litre engine, like the 744L, lowering fuel consumption by up to 12 per cent. The 844L is equipped with a proven 13.5-litre engine, reducing fuel consumption by up to 7 per cent.

“These machines are more comfortable, reliable and fuel-efficient, all without impacting productivity,” Chesterman said.

“We understand that our

customers need equipment they can trust to complete the job, and these new machines offer just that.”

All three wheel loaders re-ceived significant updates in hose routing and plumbing. For example, the 824L re-placed 44.5 metres of hose with 38 metres of steel tubes.

The axles on the L-Series machines are more durable with standard brake cooling and filtration, increasing cus-tomer confidence on the job.

The new standard fac-tory-installed auto-lube system ensures automatic greasing takes place while the machine is operating for more effective grease distribution. Additionally,

the updated HVAC system includes several upgrades to improve cool capacity, in-cluding relocation of the AC unit, alteration of the fresh air filter exchange and the use of a brushless motor to provide infinite fan spends, increasing airflow. Overall, the routing of electrical har-

nesses and hydraulic hoses features additional retention points, reducing rubbing and increasing uptime.

Another notable offering is the new factory coupler option, available on the 744L and 824L wheel loaders. The coupler is available with mul-tiple attachments, including

four enhanced production buckets and two fork frames in two tine lengths.

The L-Series wheel load-er line includes new Log Handler and Pipe Handler configurations for the 744L and 844L, and an Aggregate Handler configuration for the 844L.

John Deere delivers 3 new L-Series wheel loaders




Doosan Portable Power is expanding its small air compressor line up with the introduction of the Doosan XP185WDO.

The high-pressure air compressor produces 5.2 cubic metres per minute and 125 psi, making the ma-chine ideal for a variety of applications such as general construction, sandblasting, pneumatic tool operation, pipeline testing and fibre optic cable installation.

“Our customers have ex-pressed a need for an air

compressor that produces 125 psi and delivers the same productivity and re-liability they receive from our popular P185 machine. We’re meeting that demand with the new XP185 model,” said Jeremy Bailey, air prod-ucts manager for Doosan Portable Power.

Simultaneous powerThe XP185 can simultan-

eously power both air and electrical tools when out-fitted with an optional 4 kW generator.

The machine is equipped with two 120V duplex out-lets with easy access on the curbside, rear panel of the air compressor.

“Many of our custom-ers are also using small electric or rechargeable battery-powered tools and 4 kW of generator power

is enough to charge those tools or even a cell phone while on a remote jobsite,” Bailey said.

An onboard toolbox al-lows for storage of both air-powered and electrical tools for safe transport and easy access on the jobsite.

Powered by a 74 hp Tier 4 Final-compliant engine, the XP185 delivers productiv-ity and fuel efficiency. The high-performance Doosan D24 engine features a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) aftertreatment system that is virtually maintenance-free.

The XP185WDO maximiz-es jobsite productivity with a 10-hour runtime at 100 per cent load.

The XP185 air compres-sor also provides a limited ambient temperature of 51 C, helping to ensure uptime in hot conditions.

Nearly 5,000 people who purchased British Columbia Building Codes will soon get a refund.

The province has announced that building codes pur-chased after Sept. 4, 2018 are eligible for a refund.

The federal government and the province are refunding about $2.5 million in total: $1.875 million from Canada and $625,000 from BC Refund cheques will be mailed in the next four to six weeks.

As well, online versions of the BC Building Codes are now available free of charge.

“Not only are we returning money to the hard-working students and firms of BC’s construction sector and mak-ing national building codes free from now on, we are also celebrating the province’s role in setting the stage for better harmonization under one national standard,” said Navdeep Singh Bains, federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

As of April 1, electronic versions of the National Building Code of Canada were made available at no cost.

The change eliminated the royalties British Columbia paid to the federal government for the national codes. The refunds for BC’s codes are the result of an agreement between the federal and provincial governments to return the cash to British Columbians.

“Our government is working hard to make sure programs and services are affordable and accessible for all British Columbians,” said Jinny Sims, Minister of Citizens’ Servi-ces. “Today, we’re giving $2.5 million back to British and making it easier for students, contractors, businesses and local governments to access these important codes for their studies and work — work that helps grow local economies and create good-paying jobs.”

BC will refund the full cost to anyone who bought an on-line subscription of the codes and offer a refund for those who purchased a printed copy.

Going forward, the province will offer free digital ver-sions of the codes and printed copies will be available at a reduced rate.

“When classes start next month, students will save close to 70 per cent on printed copies of the codes, while digital access will be cost-free,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training.

Building codes establish the minimum standard for the design and construction of buildings, supporting the safety, health, accessibility, fire and structural protection of buildings, along with energy and water efficiency. Typ-ical users of building codes include industry and trades professionals, students enrolled in construction-related programs, building inspectors and other municipal officials and homeowners.

Flo Components Ltd. is introducing the industry’s first rechargeable oil pump to Canada.

The Macnaught BOP20 is the world’s first industrial-grade, completely portable and rechargeable, 18V battery operated oil pump for 19 litre buckets.

The BOP20 is manufactured in Australia and designed specifically to improve work-shop efficiency and reduce fatigue. Flo Components was recently selected to rep-resent Macnaught in Ontario and Manitoba.

“The BOP20 is an innovative, award-win-ning new product and has been very popular in vehicle service and industrial settings,” said Mike Deckert, vice president of Flo Components. “It’s ideal for small shops, remote locations, or on mobile ap-plications as they no longer have to buy an air compressor in order to eliminate manual pumping. It replaces troublesome manual pumps and eliminates the messy practice of trying to pour oil directly from the bucket into smaller containers. With the flick of a button, it can dispense all types of hydraulic

oil, gear oils to light weight oils, from 5 gallon containers.”

The modular design of the BOP20 allows the powerhead to be transferred across multiple pump stems to reduce set-up costs and eliminate cross-contamination.

The ‘on-demand’ flow nozzle allows full control over delivery of 151 litres of oil on a typical full charge at 4 litres.

“At Flo Components, we provide turnkey solutions to take away our customers’ pain. The BOP20 is beneficial anywhere anybody has to transfer or dispense oil, in terms of accuracy, technician efficiency, reduced spills, increased safety and overall produc-tivity. It’s a perfect product for us as it further enhances Flo Components’ ability to help customers protect their equipment and employees while improving productivity,” Deckert said.

Macnaught is a manufacturer of grease, oil and fuel equipment, hose reels and positive displacement flow meters for the agricul-tural, automotive, industrial, mining and transport industries.

Service has always been the backbone of JT Equipment, but they’re moving into sales.

“Most dealers start with sales and move into service; we did the opposite,” said Matt Cox, vice president of JT Equipment.

The Calgary, Alberta-based construction equipment service and supply company, originally named JT Repair when it was founded in 2011, now has six mobile service trucks equipped with laptops for diagnostics and custom specialty tools that allow service technicians the ability to perform field main-tenance for their customers.

“There’s not anybody like us. Most cus-tomers go to an OEM or a guy in a truck for smaller repairs and service. We fill a void,” Cox said.

Their technicians work on both construc-tion equipment and attachments.

“Very rarely can we not get to the bottom of the problem,” Cox brags, explaining that they have a wide knowledge base, enabling them to work on a diverse list of types and brands of equipment.

As Cox and the other two co-owners — Josh Arnold, president, and Josh Thue, founder — once worked in a John Deere dealership, they still have that “do whatever it takes to get the customer up and running” mentality. This has allowed JT Equipment to build one of the largest rosters of service trucks in the region.

DiversificationIt’s precisely that attitude of helping the

customer that inspired JT Equipment to diversify from a service-based business to add sales and rentals.

“We were getting calls for parts from our customers,” Cox said.

At first, they tried sourcing parts from dif-ferent vendors and contacting other dealers for aftermarket options at less cost than original parts, but some suppliers have lead times as long as eight weeks. They knew they could do better.

“We can build things ourselves in less than a week,” Cox said.

He added they don’t want to compete with their vendors, but since they “don’t keep a lot on the ground,” and their customers need options, they began fabricating parts.

In addition, they sell new and used equip-ment, as well as their own line consisting of top plates for attachments, rippers, gravel scoops, concrete moulds and custom-fab-ricated pieces like tar kettles.

“We don’t shy away from making any kind of equipment,” Cox explained.

While Cox’s background is in parts, service and sales support, the other two owners are former mechanics.

As well, JT Equipment was funded solely by its three owners.

“There’s no rich person with an open cheque book,” Cox said.

“It’s just the three of us growing this com-pany.”

The absence of investors led to JT Equip-ment working harder to retain customers, according to Cox. Two years ago, they had fewer than 100 customers. Today, they have more than 400.

They hope to continue growing, with plans to open more locations in western Canada.

“We want to expand to another location — probably Red Deer — next year. Maybe Vancouver someday if our product line takes off,” Cox said.

Expansion will provide value for the cus-tomer by cutting down on the technicians’ travel time, a tribute, Cox points out, to their service roots.

LiuGong North America (LGNA) has intro-duced its new 877H wheel loader, a high production machine.

The new machine has a Cummins Tier 4 Final QSL9 engine, generating 331 hp at 2,000 rpm.

With an operating weight of about 24,500 kg and a bucket size of 4.2 cubic metres, the 877H is positioned to fill the needs of the most common rock and dirt bucket appli-cations, including the aggregate industry.

“This is another wheel loader like our 890H unit, engineered to work in those applications that require a wheel loader to work at least eight hours a day, five to seven days a week,” said Hugo Chang, product manager for LiuGong North America.

The 877H wheel loader is equipped with a countershaft power shift transmission and a single stage, three element torque converter. The loader is able to deliver peak torque of 1,160 foot-pounds at 1,400 rpm and features a maximum travel speed of 28.4 km per hour.

Furthermore, the 877H wheel loader deliv-ers a straight tipping load of 19,490 kg and a bucket breakout force of 44,961 foot-pounds.

The machine also delivers a maximum hinge pin height of 4.3 metres, a 3.1 metre dump clearance at full height discharge, and a maximum digging depth of 10 cm.

The 877H transmission and axles are manufactured in Germany, then imported to factories in China for assembly.

LiuGong developed the new loader to fill the gap between its 856H and 890H wheel loaders.

The company now produces five wheel loader models, ranging from 9,980 kg to 34,925 kg.

Credited with building China’s first mod-ernized wheel loader, LiuGong has become one of the fastest growing full-line construc-tion equipment companies in the world.

LiuGong Construction Machinery, North America, located in Katy, Texas, is a sub-sidiary of Guangxi LiuGong Machinery Co. headquartered in Liuzhou, China.

LiuGong intros new high production wheel loader




Liebherr is introducing several new features to its XPower wheel loaders to increase safety as well as reduce the burden on operators.

The new features include the Skyview 360° camera system, active rear person recognition, front area monitoring and a new weighing device.

All new assistance systems have been developed by Lieb-herr and are fully integrated into the machine’s controls. This also applies to the new joystick steering for models from the L 526 to the L 586 XPower. The intuitive operation of the joystick enables the operator to steer accurately and without fatigue, as its position corresponds to the wheel loader’s current articulation angle.

Front area monitoringIn industrial applications, Liebherr wheel loaders often

work with large attachments, like high-dump buckets for example. As large buckets inevitably obstruct the operator's field of vision, Liebherr created a roof camera for front area monitoring, available on the L 526 to L 586 XPower wheel loaders.

The roof camera provides a view of the bucket in front of the machine from a significantly elevated perspective and transmits the image on a separate display in the operator's cab.

Front area monitoring is therefore used for seeing people or objects hidden by the attachment, which increases safety when accelerating, driving forward and loading with large buckets.

Skyview 360°The Skyview 360° camera system is another intelligent

assistance system that enables the machine operator to recognize potential hazards.

As four additional cameras capture the machine’s entire surroundings, it provides a 360 degree view of the wheel loader’s immediate surroundings at all times. The system merges the individual images into a virtual bird's-eye view and displays the image on a separate screen in the operator’s cab. With this perspective, the operator can effortlessly see blind spots and danger zones, such as the wheel loader's articulation area, and avoid possible collisions.

Active rear person recognitionActive rear person recognition is designed to help prevent

collisions that result in personal injury.Liebherr’s new assistance systems enable machine

operators to concentrate more on operating their Liebherr wheel loader by removing additional distractions. For example, the active rear person recognition automatically provides a warning on the machine display and delivers audio signals if there is danger in the wheel loader’s rear area. A special feature of the system is that it uses sensors to automatically differentiate between people and objects with the aid of sensors.

If a person moves in the area behind the machine, the system alerts the machine operator.

The active rear person recognition is activated at a greater distance than warning systems for inanimate objects such as walls or columns. The operator therefore receives a more precise warning if there is a risk of personal injury. This allows the active rear person recognition to avoid an overload of warning signals, which in turn reduces the burden on the machine operator.

The new weighing deviceThe range of intelligent assistance systems also includes

the new weighing device for large XPower wheel loaders. The solution is a control scale that works automatically and provides the machine operator with information on the loading operation.

It helps the operator to accurately load trucks or dumpers with the right amount of material and avoid overloading.

The advantage is that, depending on the application, the ideal weighing range is set automatically and the weighing takes place during the regular loading cycle. This means that the operator does not have to reach a specific lifting height to correctly weigh the bucket contents.

A special feature of the weighing device is Truck Payload Assist. The system supports material handling with a wheel loader in a number of ways. For example, the operator can enter a target loading weight on the display. Using this in-formation, the Truck Payload Assist calculates the optimal target weight to be loaded per bucket and the required number of loading cycles. The result is higher productivity through consistent, accurate and machine-friendly loading.

The machine operator can view all weighing data and the Truck Payload Assist recommendations on the display

and in real time. A colour concept helps the operator by increasing the user-friendliness of the weighing device.

Liebherr packs new tech into wheel loaders




By Warren Di MarcoBrigade Electronics Canada

Road construction is a haz-ardous occupation and ranked as one of the most dangerous places to work. While roads are now safer than ever before, incidents involving road workers have increased.

According to WorkSafeBC, injuries to roadside work-ers have spiked over the last decade with the majority of deaths caused by workers

being struck by a vehicle.Blind spots on vehicles are

a major contributing factor to collisions and are often the main reason ground workers are killed or injured.

As roads get busier, more construction work is being scheduled to take place at night, which further increas-es safety issues for workers and limits drivers’ visibil-ity. Alongside this, ground workers are required to wear ear protection meaning they cannot always hear vehi-

cles approaching. Preventing deaths and keeping workers safe is clearly a challenging, yet essential task.

Technology is now playing a crucial role in solving many of the safety issues facing the road construction industry. These include eliminating blind spots on vehicles and assisting drivers working in difficult conditions when visibility can be comprom-ised, such as bad weather or overnight.

While large mirrors have

traditionally been used, they cannot completely eliminate blind spots, but commer-cial vehicle camera systems, such as Brigade’s Backeye

360, can. Safety technol-ogy can give drivers better visibility as they maneuver their vehicles by providing the driver with a complete surround view of the vehicle in real time in a single image.

The system combines images from ultra wide-an-gle cameras, resulting in a ‘bird’s-eye view’ of the vehicle and surrounding area. Research has shown that in the time it takes to scan four mirrors, assess and then react to hazards, a vehicle could travel as far as 10 metres. Vehicle camera safety systems protect the driver and ground workers in the vicinity of the vehicle.

Simple back-up alarms have long been a solution to alerting those on the ground, but research has shown that old-fashioned tonal alarms may be adding to the prob-lem as pedestrians and workers cannot always locate the direction from which the alarm originates.

Multi-frequency alarms are solving this problem. Rather than the traditional ‘beep beep’ of tonal alarms, they create a ‘ssh-ssh’ sound which is gentle on the ear and dissipates quickly,

meaning the alarm can be instantly located and heard only in the danger zone.

Radar obstacle detec-tion technology is further enhancing safety in the construction industry. It can detect stationary and moving objects even in the harshest of environments, giving the driver an audible and visible warning when objects are within a certain distance.

Heavy duty radar systems are able to operate even in high or low temperatures, radar obstacle detection is also waterproof and smoke resistant, and can be easily heard in noisy environments.

While technology is key to helping prevent injuries and deaths, it is also essential for companies to be fully committed to implementing robust safety strategies and plans so that demonstrable progress can be made.

Warren Di Marco is a vehicle safety expert at Brig-ade Electronics Canada, talks about how the company’s technology is helping to re-duce the number of workforce fatalities in the road con-struction industry.

Caterpillar has announced the release of 16 new D3 Series skid steers and com-pact track loaders.

An industry first, the D3 Series models also support a line of new Smart Attach-ments.

The advanced machine technology recognizes cer-tain attachments and tailors the controls and operator information to match the tool and the task.

The new D3 Series com-pact track loaders deliver improved operating stability while handling heavy loads, grading or truck loading. Changes to the undercar-riage frame and torsion axles reduce machine pitching and rocking, while still of-fering a comfortable ride.

As well, all Cat D3 Ser-ies compact track loaders feature standard two-speed travel to improve perform-ance at the jobsite.

The machines are geared to deliver high torque dig-ging performance as well as high top-end speed for travel.

The Cat 279D3 and 289D3 loaders boast a 13.6 km per hour top-end ground speed, a 20 per cent increase over their D Series counterparts. The Cat 239D3 and 249D3 models are now built with 2-speed transmission as standard, versus the previ-ous single speed, increasing travel speed by 9 per cent and aligning these models with the rest of the two-speed equipped CTL model range.

D3 Series controlThe D3 Series Cat SSL and

CTL models deliver Smart Technology that provides a higher level of integration between the machine and new Smart Attachments. The attachment technology will allow the D3 Series models to automatically recognize Smart Attachments and convert machine controls to align with the operational and informational needs of that attachment.

Cat D3 Series SSLs and CTLs offer advanced con-trol features that include

“return-to-dig” and “work tool positioner” to assist operators with repetitive tasks like grading, digging and loading.

The items are now bun-dled together with the dual direction self-level feature, allowing more operators to take advantage of features that automate machine functions to complete tasks with less user interaction and expertise.

Entering and exiting the new D3 Series loaders that are equipped with an en-closed cab is now easier thanks to a wider opening cab door.

As well, the distance be-tween joystick pods has increased by 76 mm, of-fering extra space for the operator inside the cab to deliver a more comfortable experience.

XE badgeAlongside the D3 Series

introduction, the previous XHP performance model identifier used with the 272 and 299 models has been replaced with an XE badge. The 272D3 XE and 299D3 XE models represent the highest performance and most advanced technology available to customers in the Cat SSL and CTL line.

Also included in the D3 series CTL family is the new purpose-built Cat 299D3 XE Land Management CTL. The 299D3 XE Land Manage-ment is built for demanding vegetation-management ap-plications, such as mulching, brush cutting, vegetation control and mowing.

E n s u r i n g o p t i m u m performance when pow-e r i ng h ig h -p ro d u c t i o n hydro-mechanical attach-ments like mulching heads, this machine boasts a turbo-charged 110 hp Cat C3.8 engine that combines with 150 litres per minute high-flow/high-pressure auxiliary hydraulic system, producing a hydraulic horsepower rat-ing of 94 hp.

To provide longer inter-vals of uninterrupted work, the 299D3 XE Land Manage-ment has a 220 litre fuel

capacity, which is 80 per cent larger than the tank on standard 299D3 XE model and is sized to provide an estimated run time of 11 to 12 hours.

Pressurized cabIts one-piece sealed and

pressurized cab keeps the operator’s environment clean and quiet, which is especially important for customers working the long shifts in the challenging con-ditions of these applications.

Additional seals, covers and other special parts are standard for the 299D3 XE Land Management machine to restrict debris and other materials from entering the engine compartment and lower frame while large removable panels provide easy access to aid in routine cleaning.

Pre-cleanerA turbine-type pre-clean-

er ejects dust, dirt and debris from engine-intake airflow before it reaches the filter.

T h e 2 9 9 D 3 X E L a n d Management model also comes factory-equipped with components that pro-vide guarding to protect front and rear LED work lights, work-tool coupler area, work-tool electric-al harness connections and auxiliary-hydraulic quick-disconnect fittings from impact and debris that are often hazards in land-clearing applications.

The cooling system’s hydraulically driven fan operates only when required to save fuel, while the re-versing fan feature clears intake screens of debris, so the system runs cooler when operating in high ambient temperature applications.

Torwel has announced it is expanding its line of single and dual process variable speed electric sanders to include radio remote control.

The new Eco Switch is a radio wireless, hand-held remote control introduced to the public at the SIMA Snow and Ice Symposium.

The technology saves operators the ex-pense associated with wasted material and lost time due to parts replacement caused by exposure.

Remote control operation eliminates the need to install a wiring harness, the high-wear part routinely requires replacement and in turn, downtime.

Torwel has incorporated the Eco Switch into its original sander design, optimizing its wide and stable 91 cm base.

The remote control unit mounts on the sander gusset, supported by Torwel's sub-structure, which allows the sander to remain fully operational even if the controller is lost or damaged.

From within an 18 metre radius of the vehicle, operators command sanding oper-ation exactly when and where they choose. Approved by the FCC for airport use, the Eco Switch has been fully tested in the field under extreme conditions for both agricultural and

snow and ice applications. Torwel's single process variable speed

remote-controlled unit allows the operator to increase or reduce the chain and spinner speeds simultaneously, while maintaining the same relationship of speed between the spinner and the chain as set by the factory. A blast feature is also included.

The dual process variable dual motor speed remote-controlled unit has a separate 0.75 hp motor that drives the chain, and 0.5 hp motor that drives the spinner.

Both the chain and the spinner speed can be adjusted separately by the dual process variable speed controller. Torwel's original single-engine electric sander with factory-set chain and spinner speeds remains available without the Eco Switch.

All Torwel units are stainless steel and include heavy-duty screen, tie-downs and wood runners.

Torwel's spreaders may be used with salt, sand and other materials.

The complete assembly mounts easily on 3/4-ton and 1-ton pick-up, dump and plat-form trucks. Accessories including custom canvas covers, extended chute assemblies, and poly spinner disks are also available from Torwel.

UTILITIES

Utility locators from across Ontario were recently able to put their locat-ing skills to the test.

In Mid-August, 44 locators met at Durham College in Oshawa to compete in the 12th annual Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance (ORCGA) Locate Rodeo.

These events put the spotlight on locators who are on the front lines of the damage prevention industry,” said Jennifer Parent, manager of growth, councils and membership services for the ORCGA. “We want this event to promote the significance of their role in excavation.”

The event also features an excavator challenge, now in its third year of competition.

“You have people that identify where the underground infrastructure is, and the operators that are ex-cavating around the underground infrastructure,” Parent said. “The two events complement each other very well.”

The locate rodeo features nine lo-cator wheels, with two dedicated to each of the major utilities, including two for water, two for telecom, two for gas and two for electricity.

The ninth wheel is the Locate from Hell challenge, recently renamed the Ken Ritchie Memorial Locate Challenge (KRMLC) in honour of a longstanding volunteer with the ORCGA, which allows three minutes to complete, rather than the 12 min-utes allowed for the other challenges.

“That one is usually multiple utilities and a combination of very compli-cated infrastructure,” Parent said.

Each competitor must complete the two wheels in their utility specialty as well as the KRMLC.

To determine the winner, com-petitors are ranked based on time and proximity to the master utility measurements of the wheel.

“It is a skill. Some are better than others and some are more experi-

enced. Some just have a finer touch,” Parent said.

The locators’ ability to showcase their skills through the locate rodeo may also come with some advantages for their career.

“A lot of people are watching who the winners are, and they sometimes poach the winners because of their locating skills,” Parent said. “When they’re so skilled at locating, they want them at their company.”

Bragging rights are also an import-ant element of the Locate Rodeo, Parent noted. G-Tel Engineering, for example, holds practice runs for its staff before the event.

“They really work with their locators to help them understand and best navigate the competition,” Parent said.

Bragging rightsFor PVS Contractors, the competi-

tion is an opportunity to take a break from a busy summer of locating.

“A lot of us have done this for a number of years now and it just gives us something to look forward to every year,” said Dana Trenholm, a locator with the company that has entered the Locate Rodeo for more than a decade. “We get busy in the summer, so this gives us a break from the daily grind.”

Trenholm was optimistic about his performance as he walked away from the Locate from Hell competition.

“I think I nailed it. This might be the first time I nailed the Locate from Hell,” he said.

Trenholm did, in fact, nail the com-petition. He placed first in the KRMLC leg of the rodeo.

“We’re here to compete for bragging rights, and for the company too,” he said.

International Locate RodeoThe winners of the telecom, power,

gas and water competitions now have the opportunity to move onto the International Locate Rodeo, which

takes place in Springfield, Missouri in December.

“They have competitors from as far away as Australia and New Zea-land,” Parent said. “Canadians have placed first, second and third at inter-nationals. For us to place is pretty good bragging rights.”

For the ORCGA, the locate rodeo and excavator challenge help to promote the importance of knowing what’s below ground before digging begins. Failing to identify utility location may have catastrophic con-sequences.

An excavator operator that punc-tures a gas line for example may face a loss of machinery and reputation, as well as higher insurance costs.

“If I’m the excavator owner, and emergency services have to come in, I have to pay for that,” Parent said. “I’d also have to pay for the cost of the gas that’s lost, repair costs and face a potential lawsuit.”

She added there’s no shortage of used equipment available that could be purchased by an inexperienced and untrained operator.

“I could go online and purchase a mini excavator, and tomorrow I could start my business. But I don’t have any training, I don’t know about underground infrastructure and I don’t know the proper procedures,” Parent said. “That is the great fear that many of our facility owners have. Anyone can go out and start ripping things up.”

To help avoid potential problems with digging near utilities, ORCGA has created several training cours-es. Alongside a damage prevention course, the ORCGA is currently devel-oping an excavator operator course.

“It’s not specifically focusing on the machinery, but their role in under-ground infrastructure,” Parent said. “That’s something we’ve identified in the industry as not available to excavator operators.”

ICUEE 2019 is the leading event for utility and construction contractors seeking in-sights into the latest industry technologies, innovations and trends, focused on electric transmission and distribution, telecom, cable, natural gas, water and wastewater and vege-tation management.

Fitzmaurice Bros. Carpentry is a multi-gen-erational, custom building and construction company in Muskoka that was established in 1943. Jamie Doran, one of the current owner’s father in-law was a previous partner but has since retired. They have always done landscaping but because it has grown so much over the years, they opened a second division called Landscapes of Muskoka. They currently have 40 employees and between 5 to 6 builds going on at one time.

“We knew Lee Brocke from previous busi-ness. He called on us 3 years ago when he star ted working for Bobcat of Parry Sound and we were looking for some new machines. We were previously using another brand. Lee let us try out some Bobcat ma-chines and we were very happy with them,

so we purchased 4 Bobcat machines (S570 compact skid steer, a T550 compact track loader, an E32i & E55 compact excavator).”Greg Fitzmaurice who had been operat-ing another machine previously, is very impressed with the Bobcat machines. He brags about the E55 (machine he operates) because it has so much power and runs so smoothly.

Their old brand machines had DEF fluid burn off which Bobcat machines don’t have and was one of the main selling features for them. Also, one of their other machines they used to have, when doing big retaining walls and lifting a lot of heavy rocks 2 to 3 times a day, it would go into re-gen. It would go full throttle, and while the arm and boom would work, the thumb wouldn’t, so they were shut down when that happened. They never have to worry about that happening with their Bobcat machines which saves them time and money.

The excavators have thumbs and Hydra-Tilt™ attachments for maximum production while landscaping and grading. They also have a landscape rake attachment as well.

“For parts and service, Bobcat of Parry Sound will come to our jobsite. It makes it super convenient for us because being in the areas we work in we can be over an hour drive away from the dealership. Although, nothing really goes wrong with them aside from needing regular maintenance. Lee brings all our maintenance parts right to us, giving us that extra customer service that we really appreciate.”

“We are very happy with the machines and the service and would recommend Lee Brocke of Bobcat of Parry Sound and Bobcat machines.”

Thank you Jamie.

Whether an underground crew is installing fibre optic, conduit, cable, electrical, gas or water lines, choosing the right installation method is imperative to helping maxi-mize productivity.

While estimating a project, contractors should ask themselves, “what’s the right installation method for this project?”

HDD or open cut?According to Ed Savage, product manager at Vermeer

Corporation, there has been a significant shift toward horizontal directional drilling in the utility industry, but there are still many instances where open-cut methods including trenching, plowing and microtrenching, are a more cost-effective and efficient method.

“For many contractors, the installation method they utilize is driven by the equipment in their fleet,” Savage explained. “While specializing is good for contractors, adding additional installation services can help grow their business.”

Savage also explained that while many contractors consider the various open-cut methods to be very similar, several factors should be considered before choosing one way over another.

Those considerations include: · Ground/soil conditions.

· Installation depth.

· Size and type of utility.

· Existing infrastructure.

Plowing pros and cons “For direct bury or small poly conduit in soft/loamy soil

conditions, a vibratory plow is typically the fastest installa-tion up to around (106.6 cm) in depth,” Savage explained.

“The product is usually installed in a single pass, and there is a lot less restoration work required afterward.”

However, there are limits to just how much a vibratory plow can do. Savage explained there are some plows that can go deeper than 106.6 cm, up to 121.9 cm, but the soil conditions have to be ideal and the size of the tractor re-quired to pull that deep may make it a less-efficient option at that point. Plows also have a more limited trench width than trenchers.

Pros and cons of trenchingTrenchers come in a broader range of sizes, adapt better

to various applications, are able to dig deeper and handle a wider range of soil types than vibratory plows.

“While trenching will work in a greater range of environ-ments and project types, the overall process takes longer than plowing,” Savage said.

“Trenching jobs require more restoration work after the product is in the ground and contractors may need to bring in additional equipment to complete that portion of the job.”

Savage added that trenching is an excellent option for utilities that need to be set on-grade and have a large diameter.

What about micro or nano trenching?These methods work well on fibre optic or small conduit

jobs, as they are often more cost-effective and can take less time than other installation methods.

A micro or nano trencher is used to open a narrow and shallow trench in an asphalt roadway, usually in the seam between the asphalt road and concrete curb or apron.

“In many cities, the underground right-of-way is be-coming crowded,” Savage said.

“Micro or nano trenching allows contractors to avoid other utilities, and future repairs to damaged lines can be easier to access.”

Some jobs utilize only one installation method, but ground conditions can fluctuate, and installation depths

can vary. For projects like these, Savage said contractors shouldn’t limit themselves to a single installation method.

“The right method is the one, or sometimes two meth-ods, that allows a crew to maximize productivity while still maintaining the highest safety standards,” he added. “That may mean a crew uses a vibratory plow for the majority

of a project, but uses a trencher in more challenging soil types or a horizontal directional drill to go under roadways.”

When choosing between trenching, plowing, micro or nano trenching or drilling, understanding the installation options available can help lead to better decisions and a more successfully completed job.

Selecting the right method for underground utilities




Terex Utilities will use the ICUEE venue to once again present concept equipment designs in order to collect customer feedback.

Terex Utilities will feature several new technologies and equipment during the 2019 International Construction & Utility Equipment Expo (ICUEE) in Louisville, Ken-tucky.

“ICUEE presents a unique opportunity for Terex to en-gage with customers through live equipment demonstra-

tions,” said Joe Caywood, director of marketing for Terex Utilities.

“Likewise, it gives indus-try stakeholders a chance to identify the product solutions that are important for their success.”

New products include a family of articulated and tele-scopic transmission aerial devices.

“Customers will get a sneak peek of a new solution with technology that delivers actionable information, which is designed to help electric utilities improve overall fleet performance,” Caywood said.

The Transmission TL Series includes three models, offer-ing a wider range of chassis options for working heights up to 34 metres. The com-pany will demonstrate the Transmission TL Series, as well as other digger derricks and aerial devices.

Twice daily demonstrations include:

· The C4047 digger derrick with a stand-alone core barrel auger tool.

· Hi-Ranger articulating telescopic LT40 aer-ial device equipped with HyPower IM idle mitigation and positive at-tachment lanyard device.

· Hi-Ranger non-over cen-tre Optima TC55 aerial device with Load Alert, featuring updated screen display.

Digger derrick milestoneAlongside the ICUEE demo,

Terex Utilities is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its digger derrick product line, representing the company’s legacy of innovation.

On display will be Tel-E-Lect digger derrick Model T15, mounted on a Dodge Power Wagon, circa 1956.

Established in 1945, Tel-E-Lect digger derricks helped to mechanize the jobsite making it easier, safer and more pro-ductive to build powerlines.

“We have a legacy of being the first to deliver solutions that changed the industry — going all the way back to the first mechanical digger derrick,” Caywood said. “We

have continued to innovate and improve the products for 75 years to support the important job of keeping our electrical infrastructure up and running.”

Load Alert updateTerex Utilities has also up-

dated the monitor display for the Terex Load Alert sys-tem. Load Alert monitors and analyzes the truck’s jib and platform capacity and boom positions on Terex aerial de-vices. It provides visible and audible alerts when an over-load is detected.

Load Alert monitors boom angle, platform and jib cap-acity, winch line distance from the platform pivot point and winch line load.

Included in the display is a full load chart, in addition to the printed load chart, to assist operators with staying within the operating limits of the aerial device.

“Terex continues to lead the way with technology featur-ing practical benefits for fleet users and owners. By stay-ing engaged with customers, Load Alert has evolved since its introduction in 2016 — the first of its kind for insulat-ed aerial devices,” Caywood said. “As new technology be-comes available or we identify improvement opportunities, we seek feedback from our customer partners. The new monitor display area is a re-sults of those conversations.”

The initial screen indicates the system is operational, and during operations, now turns red if an overload is detected. A dial read-out shows the percentage of overload for either the platform or the jib or both. In addition, an alert sounds in the platform and at ground level.

“The system supplements users’ safe work practices by providing immediate feed-back to an operator,” said Kevin Stutzman, engineering manager at Terex Utilities.

“As an option, it is also pos-sible to send a notification report via text or email to a specified location. For ex-ample, notifications to fleet departments can provide information to assist with maintenance protocols.”

Toro has expanded its TRX walk-behind trencher line with two new models that are designed for performance, ser-viceability and ease of use.

The new TRX-250 and TRX-300 trencher models feature Intelli-Trench technology, an innovation that optimizes the machine’s hydraulic flow for the digging conditions. The system automatically diverts the hydraulic flow from traction motors, providing more power for the trencher head.

As a result, the traction handle can be held in one place without requiring constant adjustment, reducing oper-ator fatigue and optimizing performance. As well, the Intelli-Trench feature decreases track wear and maintains engine rpm for efficient engine cooling.

“We’re always looking for ways to help our customers save time and maximize productivity,” said Neil Borenstein, director of marketing at Toro.

“With these updates, we’ve taken the proven TRX design and made it even easier to use and maintain. The TRX has always had the advantage of a low centre of gravity and a large footprint, which gives it excellent stability and maneuverability while minimizing damage to existing turf. The new models deliver those benefits and more.”

New hydraulic designThe new TRX models also have a new hydraulic design

that requires significantly fewer components than previ-ous models.

The design simplifies maintenance, potentially reducing service needs.

Other features include differentiated traction controls that are easy to learn and use. Operators will find the familiar TRX trencher valve handle and boom lift lever, as well as independent traction control for the left track and the right track.

The boom lift function has also been enhanced with a new hydraulic valve that allows the boom to move up and down smoothly.

The TRX-250 is equipped with a 24.5 hp Toro engine and offers a maximum forward speed of 3.9 km per hour, while the new TRX-300 has a 26.5 hp Kohler EFI engine and has a maximum forward speed of 3.7 km per hour.

A heavy-duty air cleaner is standard on both engines. Both models are 209.6 cm long, 85.9 cm wide and 116.8 cm tall, with a ground clearance of 10.9 cm and a fuel capacity of 18.2 litres.

EARTHMOVING

When the city of Brampton set out to create a Natural Heritage System, Ecoland Inc. was a natural choice for the project’s earthworks.

The Caledon, Ontario-based company specializes in creating green spaces for wildlife within the Greater Toronto Area’s sprawling urban landscape.

“I love working outdoors and meeting new challenges,” said company President Ismet Mirena. “When we begin a project, there is no green; and when we complete the project, it’s amazing to see the changes in a short amount of time. We take pride in our work.”

Ecoland Inc. was recruited to create Brampton’s Mount Pleasant 51-2 Natural Heritage System (NHS) — a plan to create a “green coast.”

The project spans 36 hectares and consists of five channels. Each channel is designed by a team of landscape architects, ecologists, civil engineers and botanists with the inten-tion of restoring and protecting the diversity and connectivity of natural areas and existing features such as woodlands and wetlands.

As well, each channel corridor is designed to connect fragmented natural features and to improve the existing drainage system.

The newly created channels have been developed to promote aquatic habitat for different fish species and consideration of specialized habitat needs for various animals. The design creates small nooks, spaces and habitats for animals such as frogs, toads and salamanders to nest.

In addition to creating natural features, the NHS consists of a series of trails, bridges and signage for its surrounding neighbour-hoods.

All combined, the Mount Pleasant 51-2 NHS includes more than 250 acres of natural heritage systems, new connections between grassland and woodland channels, wet-lands, woodland areas, thickets, storm-water management ponds and neighbourhood parks with the goal of creating and rebuilding green spaces throughout suburban Toronto.

Ecoland’s rootsEcoland Inc. was created three years ago

when Mirena partnered with Dwyht Cuff, Xeni Islami and Bekim Zuzaku to combined their landscaping experience.

“I never thought I’d be doing what I’m doing today,” Mirena said. “But I saw an opportunity and decided to go for it.”

At first, Ecoland used smaller equipment designed for landscaping. However, as the business grew and the projects became larger, Mirena knew he needed bigger equip-ment.

Agako Nouch, an old business connection from Volvo, introduced Mirena to Daniel Hili at Strongco, a equipment dealership with locations throughout Canada, to discuss getting his first Volvo CE machine — an EC160E excavator.

“He had the background to know exactly what he wanted in terms of production capability,” Hili said. “We worked with him to match the right size machine and range of attachments to meet his exact needs for upcoming projects.”

Strongco made sure the excavator met all of Ecoland’s specifications and came with a hydraulic thumb, hydraulic pin-style coupler and two different buckets.

“We built that machine exactly how he wanted,” Hili said. “The financing structure was just as important as the machine. At that time, Ecoland was still a startup company and needed a financing solution that made sense for their forecasted work and available capital.”

Strongco worked with Volvo Financial Services (VFS) to find a formula that would work for Mirena and his partners. The result was a unique payment plan that involved Ecoland paying a larger amount in his first series of payments to compensate for a lower down payment.

Hili added the new focus is on making sure Ecoland has the right equipment to continue expanding.

“It’s about the relationship,” Hili said. “You listen to your customer, digest that informa-tion and provide them with a proposal. As his business grows and changes, then we help support those changes and that growth.”

The EC160E was in fact just the beginning. Ecoland kept growing, securing larger pro-jects and required larger and more versatile equipment. They purchased an EC220E excavator not long after the EC160E, and from there, it was a domino effect — even-tually leading to the addition of two Volvo A25G articulated haulers and their most recent purchases: a Volvo EC350E excavator, an L60H wheel loader and an SD75B soil compactor.

“The Volvo EC350E was added as our pro-jects got bigger and we needed to excavate a large quantity of soil and fill. It’s been a vital addition to the fleet, particularly for the recent MP 51-2 NHS project,” Mirena said.

Digging the EC350EOn the MP 51-2 NHS project outside To-

ronto, the company is using the EC350E excavator, an EC160E excavator and two A25G articulated haulers.

“The 350 excavator is a very powerful machine,” said Mark Arseneau, superintend-ent for Ecoland. “There’s a feature on the machine that allows you to set the throttle down to F, diverting all the hydraulic power to one pump, which gives it massive digging power. This has been quite useful when dealing with the hard dirt that we come across quite often.”

Volvo offers a unique, integrated work mode system that includes four different modes — I, F, G and H — designed to let the operator choose the best mode for the task at hand.

Ecoland is also taking advantage of Volvo CareTrack, a telematics system that gives owners information on their machines in-cluding machine utilization, location and fuel consumption.

“It’s helped us track fuel consumption and idle times, which is really important,” said Adem Kosumi, an operator at Ecoland. “It helps us with both bidding on projects and making sure we have the right machines on the job.”

The information has also helped Ecoland identify areas in which equipment operators could make changes to improve performance and reduce wear and tear.

“For example, our employees weren’t using the engine brake, which helps slow the ma-chine when going down steep slopes when fully loaded,” Arseneau said. “So, we had a meeting and directed our operators to use them, which not only saves on brake pads, service costs and downtime, but improves safety as well.”

“It’s helped us in a lot of different ways, and it’s something we definitely plan to incorporate on our future Volvo purchases,” Mirena added.

Quality of lifeEcoland has completed the Mount Pleas-

ant 51-2 NHS project. The channels continue to establish themselves and are ready to serve as new habitat.

Ecoland expects to continue working on more phases similar to the Mount Pleasant 51-2 NHS project while also increasing their workforce from 30 to 50 people.

“As we continue to grow, we expect to rely heavily on Strongco’s expertise to help build our fleet, as well as use the data and insights we’re getting from CareTrack,” Mirena said.

Equally as important as company growth is the feeling of making a difference in his community’s landscape. For Mirena, that was the driving force behind starting Ecoland.

“We’re improving quality of life,” he said. “We’re rebuilding the environment, promo-ting clean air and erosion prevention. We’re giving habitat to protected species, and we’re beautifying the community. It’s an honour to do what we’re doing.”

CREATING A GREEN COAST Ecoland grows by making things green again




Komatsu America Corp’s new Proactive Dozing Control logic is capable of delivering the technique of a 30-year veteran, regard-less of who is sitting in the dozer cab.

Komatsu recently intro-duced the industry-first, fully-integrated dozing control system that allows operators to perform au-to-stripping, auto-spreading and high production dozing, as well as finish grading.

“This technology is going to revolutionize machine control as we know it today. It’s on the forefront of the jobsite of the future,” said D erek Mor r is, product marketing manager for in-telligent machine control and smart construction for

Komatsu. “This is proof that our machines are getting smarter, better and per-forming in ways they never have before.”

Available on the Komatsu D51EXi-24, D51PXi-24, D61EXi-24 and D61PXi-24 dozers, Komatsu’s Proactive Dozing Control logic is built on the company’s existing intelligent machine control.

Previously, GPS machine control focused on finish grading, meaning operators would typically only use the system 10 to 20 per cent of the time.

“We want our customers to think outside of what the norm is. This system allows them to do that and utilize it 100 per cent of the time,” said Michael Salyers, senior

product manager of intelli-gent machine control and smart construction for Ko-matsu. “It performs in all applications and allows them to be so much more productive.”

Leveraging experienceThe new tech is partially

based on the technique of veteran operators, in order to make the less experienced operator more efficient.

“When we were develop-ing this logic, we looked at highly experienced individ-uals and what do they do in a dozer; what are their inputs, and how do they make and understand these inputs?” Morris said.

“We tried to figure out how to incorporate that.

We wanted Proactive Doz-ing Control logic to mimic exactly what he’s doing. That’s why I say the less ex-perienced operator, with this new proactive dozing control, is as efficient as a 30-year veteran.”

Fo r t h e e x p e r i e n c e d operator, Proactive Dozing Control logic may also help reduce the stress of the job.

“There’s a lot of concen-tration the experienced operator uses to get to the grade he’s trying to accom-plish. By the end of the day he’s exhausted,” Salyers said.

“With our dozing logic, it actually reduces a lot of strain and stress of the ex-perienced operator.”

The science of logicThe system uses Global

Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning in con-junction with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to calculate precise pos-ition. The two sensors work together to calculate exactly where the tracks are on the ground.

The difference between Proactive Dozing Control logic and previous machine control options is that the new system collects at the tracks, rather than at the dozer blade.

By collecting data at the tracks, Proactive Dozing Control creates a real-time image of the ground around the machine. This allows the system to calculate deci-sions, based on the current terrain.

“In real time, we’re build-ing this 3D model of the existing ground. The sys-tem is using it to understand what’s up in front of the ma-chine,” Salyers said. “We’re still only automating the blade, but we’re bringing in much more data to make the machine more intelligent and more efficient.”

The machine control sys-tem also communicates with the dozer’s hydraulic con-trollers, engine controllers and the machine control-ler. Through cylinder sensor technology, the position of the blade is calculated in relationship to the machine body.

The Proactive Dozing Control logic measures the surrounding ground and determines what has been done on the area being graded, then stores that data and information. When the dozer prepares to go back over that area to cut or work it more, the system understands what it was like from its previous track and therefore, follows the exist-ing terrain — the very terrain that was just created.

Proactive Dozing Control

logic provides real-time pos-ition of the machine on the job site to create accurate elevation for the system to drive the blade to the precise grade needed.

B y u s i n g r e a l - t i m e conditions, the system understands what the ter-rain around the machine looks like and makes calcu-lated decisions, like whether it should cut and carry ma-terial, whether it should spread or fill that material or whether it should be finish grading.

“The machine under-stands the ter rain and anticipates terrain changes so it doesn’t lose material off the blade. Ultimately, you’re going to move more dirt in less time,” Morris said.

“ Fe w e r p a s s e s s av e s money. And you’re going to burn less fuel because you’re not running the ma-chine as long.”

With Proactive Dozing Control logic, operators can use the dozer to its full capacity, leading to in-creased utilization, a higher return on investment and improved production.

O w n i n g a n d o p e r a t-ing costs are also reduced as wear and tear on the machine is reduced by auto-mating operation.

By significantly mini-mizing track slip during operation, undercarriage wear is reduced, which, in turn, lowers owning and operating costs, since 50 per cent of the ownership cost of a dozer is the undercarriage.

“Since our dozing logic is able to manage material in a cutting situation, we greatly reduce track slip,” Morris said.

“We’re cutting down on the ownership cost of the dozer with this technology, whether the operator is ex-perienced or inexperienced. You’re getting quality who-ever the operator is.”

EARTHMOVING

Pictured here in 1929 is an E & E Seegmiller Ltd. Erie B steam shovel at work in the Kitchener, Ontario area.

Twin brothers, Edgar and Egbert Seeg-miller, had started their local excavating business a couple of years earlier. Through hard work and determination, the family-owned business grew and by the 1950s, under the leadership of the next gener-ation, Harold and George Seegmiller, it had branched out into earthmoving and roadbuilding.

In the succeeding decades, E & E See-gmiller Ltd. was a prominent highway contractor in Northern Ontario while at the same time taking on local infrastructure projects including paving, sewer and water-main work.

In addition, they had several crushing spreads for aggregate production as well

as asphalt plants and paving equipment. There are two restored and operational

1920s era Erie B steam shovels that are regularly seen at Ontario equipment dem-onstrations. Teeswater, Ontario-based Jamie Armstrong's Erie B shovel is often featured at the Blyth and Paisley events, while the Simcoe County Museum features their Erie B at HCEA Canada's annual events in June and October.

To see more than 60 restored pieces of vintage construction equipment in action, be sure to attend Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA) Canada's 2019 Last Blast Event, held Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Simcoe County Museum near Barrie, Ont.

HCEA Canada is a Proud Community Heritage Partner of the Simcoe County Museum.

Doosan Infracore North America is expand-ing its excavator lineup with the new 17-tonne DX170LC-5 crawler excavator.

The new model size allows for easier trans-portation, especially for small- to mid-size contractors who perform light excavation pro-jects, such as digging residential basements or commercial building footings.

The crawler excavator reduces the need to obtain a special transport permit when moving to and from jobsites.

The width and combined weight between the machine, trailer and Class 7 towing vehicle meets current transportation requirements.

However, owners should still check local requirements when transporting equipment.

The DX170LC-5 excavator will be a step up from the smaller Doosan DX140LC-5 and DX140LCR-5 models, but it’s not as large as the DX180LC-5.

“We felt it was very important to offer a model in this size class to ensure our excavat-ing customers could minimize transportation costs, while retaining the performance they expect from Doosan excavators,” said Aaron Kleingartner, Doosan Infracore North America marketing manager.

“The new model fits nicely in our crawler excavator lineup, giving our customers more options to suit their needs.”

As well, the DX170LC-5 offers many per-formance-driven features, including good visibility to the jobsite. Similar to current “dash 5” Doosan crawler excavators, the DX170LC-5 offers four power modes for more control to better balance fuel con-sumption and machine power to the working conditions.

Power modes include the following: · Power+ mode: Delivers the fastest work-

group speeds for loading trucks, top digging performance and extra power for digging in hard ground.

· Power mode: Provides power and per-formance for tough digging conditions and truck loading tasks.

· Standard power mode: Balances the excavator’s fuel consumption in everyday digging, grading and lifting tasks.

Doosan’s new crawler excavator simplifies transportation

DX170LC-5 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR SPECSHorsepower: 127 hp

Bucket breakout force: 25,794 foot pounds

Arm breakout force: 18,078 foot pounds

Maximum digging depth: 6.07 metres

Maximum digging reach: 8.8 metres

Minimum loading height: 2.43 metres

Width: 2.56 metres

Bucket capacity: 657 litres

· Economy mode: Reduces fuel consumption for low-de-mand applications and slows down machine movement for conditions that require extra precision.

To further match the machine to the application at hand, DX170LC-5 operators will be able to choose from four work modes — digging, breaker, shear and lifting — to maximize efficiency and fuel economy in specific applications. Operators can configure the work mode by adjusting a dial switch on the right-hand console.

A work mode icon displays on the monitor after the operator presses the mode button.

Doosan crawler excavators come standard with a rear-view camera, enhancing operator visibility on jobsites to help minimize damage to the machine and unnecessary downtime.

An optional sideview camera is also available. Camera views are easily accessible to operators on the 18 cm LCD screen mounted in the excavator cab. Operators have the option of a split screen to see both camera views at once.

Crawler excavator optionsFactory-installed options for the new DX170LC-5 crawler

excavator include:

· Straight travel pedal, which allows the operator to travel in a straight line more easily.

· Two-way auxiliary hydraulic pedal, in addition to joystick control.

· Intelligent floating boom.

· Cab guarding for special applications.

· Sideview camera.

· Additional work lamps.

· Rotating beacon.

· Air compressor.

DoosanCONNECTThe Doosan DX170LC-5 will come with a standard

three-year subscription to the DoosanCONNECT telem-atics system, which allows equipment owners and fleet managers to remotely monitor machine location, hours, fuel usage, engine idle versus work time and error codes, as well as engine and hydraulic temperatures.

Machines can be monitored via an online account. In addition, Doosan dealers can provide improved custom-

er support using the system by responding to machine warning messages and alerts, troubleshooting machine issues, and then sending a field service vehicle to help with repairs and deliver the proper parts.

Tier 4 solutionThe Doosan DX170LC-5 crawler excavator complies with

Tier 4 emission standards with modified diesel engine and aftertreatment technologies.

The engine is optimized for use with a high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel delivery system and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) system. The crawler excavators use a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to reduce particulate matter and selective catalyst reduction (SCR) aftertreatment to reduce nitrogen oxides. Furthermore, a variety of aftertreatment systems have been implemented as part of Tier 4 compliance, such as DEF, which is used with SCR technology.

NEW HIRES & APPOINTMENTS IN THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY

For the first time in its history, Takeuchi Manufacturing has announced a new presi-dent.

Takeuchi founder and President Akio Takeuchi has stepped down from his role.

Now, his son Toshiya Takeuchi will serve as president of the compact equipment manufacturer.

Toshiya Takeuchi is now the second president in the history of Takeuchi Manu-facturing. He has been a director and board member of the company since 2004.

Founded in 1963 in Japan, Takeuchi was the first company to introduce the compact excavator to North America. Takeuchi also introduced the first compact track loader to North America, after setting up its first subsidiary in the United States in 1979. This was followed by subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France and China.

As well, Clay Eubanks, president of Take-uchi US has been appointed to the company’s board of directors.

Eubanks has been with Takeuchi US for more than three decades and most of the company’s existence.

In his early years, he held various positions within the sales group before he was promot-ed to manage the sales team. Eubanks was

named president of Takeuchi US in 2003, and under his leadership and guidance, Takeuchi US has reached new sales goals and gained market share throughout the United States and Canada.

“I am honoured and humbled by this ap-pointment to the board of directors. I have watched this company grow to become the company it is today,” Eubanks said.

“When you have been a member of a company for as long as I have, it’s more like family. I am very proud of this company, its employees and where we are in the industry. I couldn’t ask for a better place to be.”

Eubanks’ roles now include director of global sales. He will work closely with other subsidiaries and distributors to grow sales and expand their market share.
