Alberta is joining the grow-ing list of governments in Canada to develop prompt payment legislation for the construction industry.

The province is propos-ing changes to its Builders’ Lien Act (the first changes in nearly two decades) to address long-standing con-cerns within construction, including payment timelines, lien periods and adjudica-tion.

“We are answering calls and addressing concerns from the construction industry to protect jobs by ensuring everyone throughout the supply chain – from general contractors to subcontract-ors – is paid on time for their work,” said Nate Glubish, Al-berta’s Minister of Service.

“We’re doing this at a critical time when Alberta’s govern-ment is moving forward on its recovery plan and when hard-working Albertans in construction can least a�ord payment uncertainty.”

�e proposed legislation would eliminate the need for contracted timelines by requiring owners, con-tractors and subcontractors to pay invoices within 28 days. As well, the deadline

for unpaid contractors and subcontractors to �le liens against a project with the government’s Land Titles Of-�ce would be extended from 45 days to 60 days. Workers in the concrete and oil and gas industries would have 90 days to �le liens.

�e legislation would also prohibit ‘pay-when-paid’ clauses from contracts to end the practice of transferring �nancial risk to subcontract-ors. Furthermore, Alberta is aiming to establish an ad-judication system to resolve disputes, rather than relying on courts.

“Members of the Alberta Construction Association support legislated payment cycles and adjudication of payment disputes,” said Frederick Vine, chair of the Alberta Construction Asso-ciation. “�ese mechanisms help timely completion of construction projects, en-sure our employees are not impacted by payment delays and provide better value for taxpayers on public infra-structure projects.”

In recent years, govern-ments from coast-to-coast have introduced similar legislation. And now, near-

ly all provinces have at least some form of prompt pay-ment in the works.

The federal government has also introduced Bill C-97, its own Prompt Payment for Construction Work Act. Con-struction associations across Canada have been lobbying for prompt payment legis-lation for years.

Delayed payments lead to lower levels of employment in the construction industry, reduced investment in train-ing and reduced investment in equipment.

To use 2020’s favourite cliché, it’s encouraging to see governments working to ensure �nancial certainty

“in these uncertain times.”.

Volvo CE has developed a rotating pipelayer attach-ment kit that allows a 14-ton excavator to work as a pipe-layer.

�e pipelayer kit was creat-ed as a solution for users who don’t want to buy a dedicat-ed pipelayer and are using conventional excavators for the work.

Volvo CE developed the kit in response to customers’ need for a simple solution to lower pipes into trenches. Now they can switch from a use-anywhere excavator to a dedicated pipelayer — and back again.

“�e pipelayer attachment kit is aimed at customers placing pipe in cities and municipalities where space is at a premium. Our 14-ton excavators are the right size for this type of work, so pair-ing the kit to these machines made sense,” said Todd Can-negieter, product manager of attachments and special applications at Volvo CE. “If you’re not lowering in pipe regularly, it can be hard to justify the investment in a dedicated pipelayer or side boom. We wanted to give cus-tomers another option.”

The rotating pipelayer kit �ts Volvo CE’s 14-ton EC140EL and ECR145E crawler excav-ators.

For the conversion, the pipelaying boom attach-es to the main boom of the excavator, converting from excavator to pipelayer (or vice versa) in about one hour.

�e pipelayer components are robust and can safely han-dle pipes up to 508 mm, with

a rated load of 3.3 tons. �e maximum working height is 7.3 metres, with a maximum working depth of 15.24 metres.

When it comes to transport, excavators with the pipelayer kit can be ready for transit within minutes. No crane or extra people are required, sav-ing time, money and hassle. Getting all of this versatility in a single machine means operators can get the job done easier, quicker, safer and at a lower cost.

Unlike a traditional side boom pipelayer, Volvo’s ro-tating superstructure solution means the machine is more manoeuvrable as there is no need to constantly reposition its tracks. �e short-swing ra-dius ECR145E can perform pipelaying work on busy two-lane streets, while leaving one lane open for tra�c, making it ideal for pipelaying in urban areas.

�e pipelayer con�guration also gives the ECR145E the same lifting capacity as its standard excavator sibling, the EC140EL.

Unlike a side boom, the operator will always face the load, helping to reduce fatigue. An excavator-based pipelayer will also be more familiar to most operators.

Operators are further sup-ported by Volvo’s unique Load Moment Indicator, which en-sures safe operation up to a 10-degree slope. �e system monitors load weights and sends audio and visual alerts. It also includes a standard anti-two-block system.

�e pipelayer con�guration has almost all components

in common with a standard 14-ton excavator, so it’s simple to �nd parts and keeps main-tenance costs low.

Bobcat Company has expanded its compact excavator lineup with the introduction of the new R2-Series E60 compact excavator.

�e E60 o�ers many of the popular bene�ts of the R-Series compact excavators as well as a long list of enhanced R2-Series features to help operators meet the increasing demands of today’s jobsites.

The E60 is the latest release in the new R2-Series lineup of Bobcat compact ex-cavators, which includes the conventional tail-swing, 4-ton E42 and minimal tail-swing, 5-ton E50.

New dual �ange rollers not only increase lift-over-side performance, they also provide a more comfortable ride quality. �e added features in the design result in an increase in lift-over-side capacity and improved over-the-side digging performance and slewing ability.

An optional clamp diverter valve has been added for enhanced hydraulic clamp functionality and improved ability to run other attachments without disconnecting the clamp.

�e compact excavator’s auxiliary hydraul-ics are easier to reach and attach, thanks to a new location on the excavator arm. A standard integrated lift eye provides operators with a convenient method for handling objects or moving them in and out of a trench.

R2-Series compact excavator specs· Horsepower: 55 hp

· Operating weight: 5,586 kg

· Maximum reach at ground level: 6.25 metres

· Maximum dig depth: 4 metres

· Maximum dump height: 4.35 metres

· Width: 1.96 metres

· Auxiliary hydraulic �ow: 75.7 litres per minute

· Tail swing type: Conventional

New Bobcat engine�e new R2-Series features a redesigned

Bobcat engine that delivers performance, while reducing and simplifying routine main-tenance. The new 55 hp engine improves cold-weather operation and has a new fuel filter that’s larger, enabling better system

protection and longer �lter life with more than double the media surface area. The �lter also has more holding capacity to cap-ture impurities for longer intervals, greatly extending the life of the fuel �lter.

The R2-Series E60 is equipped with a new cooling system with side-by-side heat exchangers. This feature controls engine compartment temperature more e�ciently than before, improving performance and serviceability while protecting engine com-ponent life. Cleanout is also easier.

Now, there is no need to separate coolers to remove debris or wash out the coolers. It also generates less noise to enhance operator comfort.

In-cab display�e 18-cm display panel, with a wide and

easy-to-use touchscreen, is waterproof and hardened to reduce scratching. Operators can view and toggle through machine perform-ance information to make operation e�cient, productive and pro�table. �e display also supports multiple languages.

An optional rearview camera integrates with the touch display, so there’s no need for mul-tiple screens. �e camera o�ers a continuous rear view from the operator’s seat, if desired, which provides an additional viewpoint for certain applications. �e camera is mounted high and out of the way to prevent contact with obstacles and debris.

A higher back and new headrest gives operators added support for long hours of operation. �e optional heated seat makes a perfect complement to the automatic temper-ature control, keeping operators comfortable on frigid days.

Operators can keep productivity high at night or in dark working conditions with standard LED lights. Bright, efficient and reliable standard LED lights provide cus-tomers with far-reaching visibility when the light level is low.

As well, the lift performance of the conven-tional tail-swing E60 can be further enhanced with an optional counterweight to maximize lift capacity. It also improves over-the-side digging performance and slewing ability.

Komatsu has announced the North Amer-ican launch of its Smart Construction Remote application, which allows its users to send new design data to machines in the �eld, as well as remotely support operators, without the need to travel to the jobsite.

According to Komatsu, the new platform gives managers of large construction projects a powerful new technological tool in their arsenal to help them work more e�ciently and economically.

Customers are able to remotely send �les from their o�ce to target machines, easily search all connected assets and log-in to a machine to see what their operator is seeing.

Via Smart Construction Remote, they can also pinpoint the location of machines by jobsite, and upload or download design �les at anytime from anywhere.

Using Smart Construction Remote’s capabilities, construction site managers can help operators troubleshoot issues in real-time by viewing the same data. �ey are able to add new �les without the time commitment of traditional methods, as well

as transfer design �les to multiple machines on-site with a single click.

“In today’s ever-changing construction environment, Smart Construction Remote is an invaluable, must-have tool,” said Scott Christman, the earthwork division man-ager at Cornerstone One LLC. “It provides troubleshooting and �le transfers with the touch of a button from anywhere with In-ternet access, minimizing crew downtime and maximizing production.”

Smart Construction Remote’s software is compatible with select makes of machines that are equipped with Topcon devices, and all Komatsu intelligent Machine Control models.

Smart Construction Remote is one of several new technologies included in Ko-matsu’s new Smart Construction Solutions, an umbrella of smart applications created to help construction customers orches-trate construction planning, better handle management and scheduling, streamline costs and optimize processes remotely in near real-time.

Komatsu’s Smart Construction Remote keeps managers connected

�e Canadian Apprentice-ship Forum (CAF-FCA) is releasing its first National Strategy for Supporting Women in Trades.

Last year, CAF-FCA led a task force of more than 60 skilled trades stakeholders, who came together to guide and inform a strategy to cre-ate measurable change for women’s representation in Canadian skilled trades.

The result is Supporting Women in Trades (SWiT), a strategy with four action items that are intended to generate awareness, create policy change, recognize best practices and create skilled trade workplaces with a high-er percentage of women.

“�e SWiT National Strat-egy has brought together groups and organizations doing the work to recruit and retain tradeswomen in the construction industry,” said task force member, Lind-say Amundsen, director of workforce development at Canada’s Building Trades

U n i o n s ( C B T U ) . “A n d together, through identify-ing barriers and developing strategies for success, SWiT will help change the face of construction and increase diversity within our industry.”

According to the Statistics Canada Registered Appren-ticeship Information System 2018 data, when apprentice registrations in the con-struction, manufacturing and transportation sectors were analyzed, women represented 4.5 per cent of apprentice registrations. �e SWiT task force established a national target to increase participation and retention of women in skilled trades careers to 15 per cent by 2030.

Another priority of the strategy was to identify tactics to create respectful work-places.

“CAF-FCA is committed to being a catalyst for diverse and inclusive workplaces,” said France Daviault, exec-utive director of CAF-FCA.

The switcanada.ca web-

site provides links to tools to assist employers, unions, educators and tradeswomen in creating healthy, safe and inclusive workplace.

“The goal is to have best practices from across sectors available in one place. �ere is no need to recreate the wheel – there are some tried and tested tools out there that organizations are willing to share,” Daviault said.

�e strategy also includes a call for “champions” who commit to making a di�er-ence through a public pledge. The pledge requires they share their internal num-bers on the percentage of women apprentices and jour-neypersons they employ in skilled trades work annually.

“They understand that numbers matter and aren’t afraid to be part of the dis-cussion,” Daviault said. “We are beyond rhetoric as the number hasn’t increased in years. It’s time to be bold by holding industry accountable for the numbers.”

While 2020 has been a less than stellar year for many businesses, Willson Sand and Gravel is recording record sales.

Th e Ca mb r i dg e, O n -tario-based company dates back to 1947, when Murvyn Willson started Paris Con-struction. In 1975, his son Bob bought Paris Construc-tion and a few years later purchased Lakeview Sand and Gravel.

Today, Murvyn’s grand-son Matthew Willson is the owner of the company, which has mainly morphed into aggregate producing as well as recycling.

Matthew recently changed the company name to Will-son Sand & Gravel, and operates 100 acres of licensed land on a 300-acre site.

�is year, their tonnage is up and pro�ts are following suit.

“In all our years, I never ever thought we would have as good a year as what we’re having now. In a world pan-

demic, I have never seen it more profitable,” Matthew Willson said. “We can’t complain, we just have to be grateful.”

Willson’s sales this year are not due to a lack of com-petition. The area is home to more than 30 licensed quarries.

“�ere is not the demand for the supply,” he said.

“ You have to be here watching costs. We’re much more passionate about cost savings than pro�ts.”

For Willson, keeping a dedicated focus on costs is key to ensuring the business is pro�table.

“We analyze out costs all day. Not every day, all day. Costs are inevitably the profit,” he said. “We’re not huge risk takers, we slowly get ahead each year. We run our equipment sensibly.”

Willson Sand and Grav-el also caters to a variety of customers from large municipalities to small con-tractors.

“We can usually work well with the smaller contractors. We’re still like a smaller con-tractor, so we get it,” Willson said.

The Willson FleetAll cr ushing w ork at

Willson Sand and Gravel is currently hired out. However, with the growing demand for aggregate, Willson predicts they will soon purchase their �rst crusher.

“It’s just if I want to buy a recycling crusher or a virgin gravel crusher. I’m leaning more to crushing our virgin ourselves,” he said.

Generally, when it comes time to expand their fleet, Willson will opt to buy new equipment over a used ma-chine.

“We will go used if the tim-ing is right,” he said.

At the quarry, Willson runs a mixed-�eet including four loaders, a mid-sized dozer, mid-sized excavator, three screening plants and four stackers, as well as an old

dump truck, a skid steer, backhoe and rock truck. His favourite machines to operate are the company’s Doosan 420 loader and their Dresser dozer.

“It’s Heinz 57. I’d love to get a�liated with one sup-pler, but it never works out,” Willson said.

“�at’s the way it’s always been. We say, ‘they’re all nice when they’re new’.”

Prototype dozerAt the quarry, Willson

is currently working with Tigercat to test a prototype dozer in development by the Canadian equipment manu-facturer.

“We do a lot of work with them,” Willson said. “They said they were trying out a bulldozer and wanted a place to really work it.”

As both owners and oper-

ators, Willson said they are able to offer dual perspec-tives on how the machine runs.

“We’ve been running dozers since 1947. We’re machine nerds,” he said. “I classify myself as an equip-ment operator that owns a gravel quarry.”

Willson is putting the Tigercat dozer to work throughout various tasks at the quarry, from reclamation work to pushing aggregate to pulling out stuck trucks.

“It really goes. It’s a nice machine,” Willson said. “It has better visibility than any dozer I’ve ever run.”

Throughout the testing process of the medium-sized dozer, Willson said Tigercat sta� are constantly on-site at the quarry to gather feedback on the performance of the machine.

“�ey constantly have their laptop hooked up to it after we’ve run it for a while,” Will-son said.

“ They’re tweaking it. �ey’re getting to know the machine too.”

Willson’s father is still on the job, and has tackled most of the operation of the Tiger-cat dozer.

“He’s been running the Tigercat machine the most. My dad’s 75-years-old, and he’s an amazing bulldozer operator,” Willson said.

Tigercat, which is based in Brantford, Ontario, has not announced any details of the machine’s spec’s or possible release date.

Kioti’s new CS2220 and CS2520 subcompact tractors combine ease of operation, with enough power to tackle a wide variety of tasks.

The all new models include an ergonomic operator station with several standard features, including a tilt wheel with power steering, a joystick valve with quick attach and a precision-built Kioti diesel engine.

“We at Kioti know that sometimes big things come in small packages, and our two all new sub-compact CS models do just that,” said Peter Dong-Kyun Kim, president and CEO of the Kioti Tractor division of Daedong-USA. “With an ergonomically designed work station, plus the power and versatility to get the job done, the CS2220 and CS2520 are hard to beat. We’re excited to see these models get to work across North America.”

A 21- or 24.5-hp precision built Kioti diesel engine de-livers large power output with low fuel consumption. And, engaged by a single lever, four-wheel drive is standard across these two new CS Series models, both of which can reach forward speeds of up to 15.4 km per hour.

The CS2220 and CS2520 tractors are compatible with Kioti’s new SB2420 backhoe and SL2420 front end loader. The SL2420 offers quick attach and detach and dual bucket cylinders, with a maximum lift height of 1.87 metres and lift capacity at full height to pivot pins of 482 kg.

Pinless designThe new pinless design enables the operator to quickly

and efficiently remove or install the loader in minutes, without having to remove or install loader pins to secure it to the tractor. As well, the additional quick attach system on the front makes switching attachments a simple task.

The CS2220 and CS2520 come standard with a joystick valve to give operators convenient, comfortable and precise control over the loader to lift, lower and carry loads anywhere, regardless of experience or skill level.

The new models are also compatible with Kioti’s SM2454 and SM2460 mid-mount mowers, both of which include drive-over decks for easy attach and detach.

Designed with ease of operation in mind, the CS2220 and CS2520 include a standard tilt wheel, which ensures all operators can reach and turn the wheel comfortably.

Additionally, twin HST pedals allow for easy and quick forward and reverse with smooth engagement, acceleration and deceleration.

These two tractors feature a streamlined hood design

to improve operator visibility with or without a loader installed. Furthermore, the vertically-opening hood provides easy access to engine maintenance and ser-vice points.

The rear PTO and high-capacity three-point hitch can accommodate a variety of implements. Plus, the standard mid PTO (2,200 rpm) provides the ability to operate implements, such as a mid-mount mower or snowblower.

COMMITTED TO SERVICE EXCELLENCE SINCE 1976

ALL MAKESALL MODELS


In a tiny garage in the Sta�ordshire market town in the United Kingdom, JCB was founded by Joseph Cyril Bam-ford on October 23, 1945.

It was the same day as his son An-thony, now Lord Bamford, was born and as Bamford remarked “being presented with a son tended to concentrate the mind and when you were starting at the bottom, there was only one way to go and that was up.”

�e �rst product built in the garage was a tipping trailer made from war time scrap, which today stands proudly in the showroom of JCB’s world head-quarters.

It was produced in his garage and sold for £45 at the town’s market. �e buyer’s old cart was also taken in ex-change, and Bamford refurbished it and sold for another £45 – achieving the original asking price of the trailer.

Within two years, JCB was expanding. As Bamford’s landlady also disapproved of his work on Sundays, he moved a few miles down the road to a stable block at Crakemarsh Hall. JCB also hired its �rst ever full-time employee, Arthur Harrison, who became foreman.

By 1950, JCB was on the move again, this time to the site of a former cheese factory in Rocester.

A pivotal year for JCBFor JCB, 1953 proved to be a pivotal

year for new products, as Bamford invented the backhoe loader with the launch of the JCB Mk 1 excavator. It was the �rst time a single machine had been produced with a hydraulic rear excavator and front mounted shovel.

�is ingenuity still bears fruit today: JCB has manufactured more than 600,000 backhoes and they are now manufactured on three continents.

With the launch of a range of new backhoes, by the time the 1960s ar-rived it was clear this machine was revolutionizing the building industry, increasing productivity, and reducing reliance on manpower.

As the new decade dawned, the com-pany was also harnessing new tools to generate business and promote the brand.

JCB AviationIn 1961, JCB Aviation was formed

and the company’s �rst ever plane, a twin-engine de Havilland Dove made its inaugural flight, with customers from Europe now able to make a return visit to the factory in a single day. JCB Aviation is older than many of today’s airlines.

�e following year, the JCB Dancing

Diggers were introduced, and JCB’s �rst ever overseas subsidiary in Hol-land was opened. A year later the JCB 3C backhoe, an acknowledged design classic, was launched. Such was the growing success of the company that in 1964, with sales up by 60 per cent to £8 million, employees shared in a £250,000 bonus. �e news made na-tional headlines and payouts were on such a scale that some employees were able to buy their �rst homes with the bonus they received.

“I am giving you this money because I want you to share in the success of the company you have helped make,” Bamford said.

In the same year, JCB exported its �rst ever machine to the United States – a JCB 4C backhoe loader.

By 1970, JCB opened up for business in the United States, setting up a base in Baltimore to harness the huge growth opportunity North America o�ered.

Between 1971 and 1973, sales doubled to £40 million. In 1975, JCB’s founder retired and his son took the helm.

“Anthony faces the tough job of moving JCB forward through the next decades into a new century,” Bamford said in a farewell message. “�is is a demanding task, but he has been well trained for it and is supported by a very strong team from works sta� to management. There cannot be any limit to the successes.”

A new eraWith Anthony Bamford at the helm, a

new era dawned – and one that would see huge expansion of both manufac-turing facilities and product ranges.

In 1977, the wraps came off the Loadall telescopic handler, a machine which revolutionized the way loads were handled on both construction sites and on farms. The Loadall has gone on to be one of the most successful products in JCB’s history.

�e decision to start manufacturing in India in 1979 heralded a period of global expansion as Anthony Bamford spotted the potential of the market. Today JCB has factories in New Delhi, Pune and Jaipur, and India is now JCB’s biggest market behind the United Kingdom.

Product innovation continued to be the lifeblood of the company and in 1985 the 3CX Sitemaster backhoe loader was launched and went on to be JCB’s biggest-ever selling backhoe. It’s also the year JCB celebrated the production of its 100,000th backhoe.

In 1988, the JCB GT was introduced, a backhoe capable of speeds of 160 km

per hour, and a fantastic promotion-al tool which continues to draw the crowds wherever it appears around the world.

Knighthood By 1990, JCB was expanding into new

�elds with the launch of the JCB Fastrac tractor – the world’s �rst genuine high-speed, full suspension tractor. �is was also the year that Anthony Bamford was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and became Sir Anthony Bamford, an honour he said, “recognized the e�orts of the whole JCB team.”

Product development continued unabated with the launch of the 2CX backhoe loader in 1990 followed three years later by the even smaller 1CX.

In 1994, Joseph Cyril Bamford had a rose named in his honour. Called ‘Mr. JCB’, the yellow rose was unveiled in the presence of the Queen at the Chelsea Flower Show.

A year later and JCB was celebrat-ing its 50th anniversary with a visit by Queen Elizabeth II to its World HQ, where she unveiled a replica of the Uttoxeter garage where Bamford began his business all those years ago.

In 2000, the first machines began rolling o� the production line at JCB’s new North American headquarters in Savannah, Georgia.

On March 1, 2001, �ags at JCB factor-ies around the world �ew at half-mast following news of the death of the com-pany’s founder Joseph Cyril Bamford. Britain’s Financial Times newspaper said he was blessed with a rare com-bination of “engineering genius and marketing �air.”

In 2004, JCB reached the milestone of 500,000 machines produced. It had taken nearly 60 years to reach that mile-stone. �e next half million machines would be produced within nine years. �e same year, JCB took the bold step into engine production with the launch of the Dieselmax engine, manufactured at JCB Power Systems in Derbyshire.

JCB’s largest order in history In 2005, JCB opened its factory in

Pudong, China and announced news of the biggest ever order in its history, a $140 million deal to supply the US Army with a high-speed backhoe loader for military engineering tasks, a machine known as the High Mobility Engineer Excavator (HMEE). In 2006, Sir Anthony Bamford’s son Jo became a director of JCB, the third generation of the Bamford family to hold such a position.

JCB celebrates its 75th anniversary

It was in this year that JCB achieved its highest ever machine sales of 72,000 units.

A national shortage of engineers inspired Lord Bamford established the JCB Academy in Rocester, Staffordshire in 2010 to train the country’s engineers and business leaders of the future. The facility has been a resounding success with nearly 1,000 students passing through its doors and with every single one going on to employment or further edu-cation. JCB also announced a $40 million project to develop a brand-new range of skid steer and track loaders to be manufactured at its North American headquarters.

Global manufacturing extended to Brazil in 2012, and British Prime Minister David Cameron officially opened the new £63 million facility in Sao Paulo state.

As JCB approached its 68th birthday in 2013, a new independent economic report revealed the company supported 24,000 jobs in the United Kingdom, and contributed £545 million to the British Exchequer.

It was also a momentous year for JCB’s chairman Sir Anthony Bamford as he became Lord Bamford after being invited by Prime Minister David Cameron to be a Conservative working peer in the House of Lords.

70th anniversaryIn 2015, JCB marked its 70th anniversary

with a continued focus on product innov-ation with the release of the 3CX compact backhoe loader, a machine 35 per cent small-er than its bigger brother and designed to work on increasingly congested building sites.

In 2016, JCB celebrated the production of the 200,000th Loadall telescopic handler. It took almost 30 years for JCB to sell the first 100,000 Loadalls, but it has taken less than a decade for the next 100,000 to be sold.

Today, JCB is the world’s top producer of telescopic handlers. In this year, JCB also marked the production on its 100,000th mini excavator and celebrated 25 years of production of the revolutionary Fastrac tractor. It was also the year when the new JCB Hydradig was launched to international acclaim.

A new marketFor JCB, 2017 marked the launch of a new

range of JCB powered access equipment after two years of secret development. The company was entering for the first time a market worth $8 billion a year. The year also saw the company celebrate another Loadall milestone – 40 years since produc-tion started. Later in the year, JCB marked the production of its 500,000th engine, which is enough engines to stretch from London to Paris.

If 2017 was a year of milestones, 2018 was certainly a year for exciting product introductions with the unveiling of JCB’s first ever electric excavator leading the way.

The 19C-1E electric mini excavator was developed in response to customer demands

for a zero emissions machine that could work indoors, underground and close to people in urban areas. Once fully charged, it is ready to put in a full normal working day on the building site.

The year also saw the launch of the huge-ly successful X-Series range of tracked excavators and the start of site dumper manufacturing at the World HQ in Rocester.

A Guinness World RecordBy 2019, the new electric mini excav-

ator was in full production at JCB Compact Products in Cheadle, Staffordshire, with the initial first 50 orders delivered to customers. It was also a year for records. In June of that year, JCB set a Guinness World Record for the fastest tractor. Called Fastrac One, the tractor reached a speed of 103.6 miles per hour, with motorbike racer and truck mechanic Guy Martin in the driver’s seat. JCB then embarked on an ambitious plan to break its own record and developed Fastrac Two – which is 10 per cent lighter and even more streamlined than its smaller brother.

In October, Fastrac Two hit an astonishing peak speed of 153.771 miles per hour on its way to recording an average of 135.191 miles per hour.

As JCB entered its 75th anniversary year, the sad news was conveyed in January that Bill Hirst, the third employee recruited by the company in 1947, had died at the age of 86.

Silent production linesIn March 2020, JCB marked the production

of the 750,000th backhoe loader before the world became a very different place as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold. When the company’s production lines fell silent in March, JCB turned its attention to helping those in need during the unprecedented times.

In India and the UK, company chefs pre-pared more than 200,000 meals for those most in need.

A Staffordshire production line closed be-cause of the coronavirus crisis was re-opened to produce prototypes of special housings for a new type of ventilator following a national call to action.

JCB also reopened its Innovation Center at the World HQ in Rocester so that employ-ees could volunteer to make medical grade visors for NHS staff on the company’s 3D rapid prototype machines.

Trimble and Boston Dynamics have created a strategic alliance to integrate construction data collection technologies with Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot.

�e joint-solution will combine the Spot robot’s autonomous mobility with Trimble’s data collection sensors and field control software to enable automation of repetitive tasks such as site scans, surveying and prog-ress monitoring, while taking advantage of the robot’s ability to navigate dynamic and potentially unsafe environments.

As well, the partnership gives Trimble the exclusive ability to sell and support the Spot robot with integrated scanning, total station and GNSS technologies for the construction market.

Trimble technologies, integrated with the Spot robot, enable accurate, scalable and rapid data acquisition, while Trimble’s construction collaboration platforms provide a continuous �ow of information between �eld and o�ce.

“Robots will play a crucial role in auto-mated construction workflows and can

augment the human workforce by handling dirty, dull and dangerous tasks,” said Martin Holmgren, general manager of Building Field Solutions at Trimble.

Mortenson, a United States-based builder, developer and engineering services provider is one of the �rst customers to leverage the new technology combination. In this spirit of eliminating jobsite waste and increasing e�ciency, Mortenson has been piloting Spot robots with Trimble’s SPS986 GNSS solu-tions to autonomously navigate challenging exterior construction environments such as solar farms to continuously document existing site conditions. An automated and repeatable approach to �eld data capture can provide Mortenson with real-time aware-ness of project status, helping to accelerate project delivery.

“Our experience with early adopters like Mortenson gave us visibility into the trans-formative potential of an integrated solution that seamlessly marries a world-class robot with construction-specific sensors and work�ows,” Holmgren said. “We’re excited

about this alliance and the potential to bring unprecedented improvements in safety, quality and productivity to our construction customers.”

�rough Trimble’s Early Experience Pro-gram, contractors such as Mortenson have advanced access to the technology for the purposes of evaluating its suitability in actual construction projects.

“We believe the combination of Trim-ble’s experience and industry leadership in construction technologies and Boston Dynamics’ Spot can transform the way the industry operates,” said Michael Perry, vice president of business development at Bos-

ton Dynamics. “�e integrated solution will enable any jobsite leader to deploy Spot and Trimble technologies to get an accurate view of construction progress through real-time data collection. With a more comprehensive view of site activity, project managers can take proactive measures to ensure on-time, on-budget and safer project delivery.”

�e integrated solution is expected to be available by the second quarter 2021 through Boston Dynamics, Trimble and select Build-ingPoint and SITECH distribution partners in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Bridgestone has introduced its new MasterCore o�-the-road (OTR) tire line.

MasterCore t i res are engineered for ultra-high

durability with performance that can be customized for a variety of mine sites and operations.

�e MasterCore product

line debuted with the intro-duction of 63-inch tires with additional patterns and sizes available to customers in 2021.

Mine operations vary by customer, mine site and haul route, which is why Bridge-stone designed MasterCore tires for customized per-formance.

MasterCore tires can be optimized for a number of performance attributes including faster speeds, increased payload and maxi-mized uptime.

Bridgestone began testing

the new MasterCore tires with select customers last year.

“After many years of global product development that p ro d u c e d a d va n c e s i n engineering, chemistr y and material science, we are excited to introduce the MasterCore brand to mining customers all over the world,” said Tomohi-ro Kusano, vice president and senior o�cer of global mining, aircraft, agriculture solutions business at Bridge-stone Corporation.

“Each mine site is unique and requires a custom tire solution that enables oper-ators to improve e�ciency. Our MasterCore o�ering sets a new standard for o�-the-road tire performance as we strive to achieve Dan-Totsu — our vision to be a clear and absolute industry lead-

er.” MasterCore is the foun-

dation of the Bridgestone’s mining tire line.

The tire is based on a combination of unique technologies that include a new type of steel cord and other advanced materials, structure and process en-gineering.

An industry �rstAn industry �rst, the steel

cord features metal surface coating technology for im-proved adhesion between the rubber and cord, deliv-ering better durability. As well, MasterCore tires utilize proprietary anti-rust steel cord developed and manu-factured by Bridgestone for added moisture resistance to improves durability.

�e tires are also built with new rubber compounds

for improved crack propa-gation, and an enhanced casing for more dependable performance.

New patterns and fea-tures reduce tire operating temperature for better per-formance.

Bridgestone is leveraging its solutions business to im-prove resource productivity by combining the real and digital worlds to deliver in-tegrated products, services and servicing networks that utilize tire and mobility data.

By continuously feeding back data and knowledge obtained by the company’s solutions o�ering, Bridge-stone expects to further improve its product port-folio, expand its service offering and strengthen the company’s tire wear and durability prediction technology.

Via its subsidiary Traton SE, Volkswagen is acquiring the United States-based Navis-tar International.

�e Volkswagen subsidiary recently announced it plans to acquire all shares of Navis-tar at a price of US$44.50 per share, equalling about $3.7 billion.

Before the acquisition plan, Traton SE held 16.8 per cent of share of the company.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement in principle for a transaction after intensive negotiations with Navistar,” said Matthias Gründler, chief executive of-�cer of Traton SE.

“We are looking forward to completing our due dili-gence, and obtaining the necessary approvals in re-spect of this exciting deal, in order to welcome the new Traton family member."

Navistar’s �agshipInternational Truck is

Navistar’s flagship vehicle brand and o�ers a complete

lineup of integrated vehi-cles ranging from class 4 to 8. �e truck brand is backed by a dealer network of about 1,000 locations in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico, and offers a com-plete lineup of integrated vehicles.

While International Truck was created in 1902, Navis-tar’s history dates back to 1831, when Cyrus McCor-mick developed the �rst truly practical mechanical reaper.

Alongside International Truck, Navistar also manu-factures light, medium and heavy-duty diesel engines, the IC Bus brand and Navis-tar Defense — a complete portfolio of both tactical and commercial off-the-shelf military vehicles.

Traton SE, the manufac-turer of the Scania and Man trucks, formed a strategic al-liance with Navistar in 2017, to increase purchasing power and the integration of new technologies.

When the acquisition is

complete, the combined company would have an enhanced ability to meet the demands of new regula-tions and rapidly developing technologies in connectivity, propulsion and autonomous driving.

Global reachA s w e l l , c o m b i n i n g

Traton’s position in the Euro-pean and South American markets with Navistar’s pres-ence in North America would create a leader with global reach and complementary capabilities.

The acquisition remains subject to finalization of due diligence to the satis-faction of Traton, agreeing on the conclusion of a merger agreement and related trans-action documents and the approval of the transaction by the executive bodies and committees of Traton and Volkswagen, as well as the board of directors and the shareholder meeting of Navistar.

By Laura Hutt

Women in Steel Toes was created to tell the stories of women in the construc-tion industry, bring light to challenges women may face on-site, and inspire a younger generation of people to enter the con-struction industry.

�is started when I real-ized that there was one thing that would’ve made a huge di�erence in my career — a mentor. I started out framing houses for a small residen-tial construction company when I was 18-years-old. At the time, I was taking Civil Engineering Technology in school, and was looking to get some hands-on experi-ence. I am, and always will be, a �rm believer that you need to get your hands dirty in construction, in order to have an appreciation for what people do. So, I set out to frame houses.

�ere I was, stepping onto a site with five male em-ployees; they were crude, sexualized me, called me fat, and the list goes on. How-ever, they always said that I was a good worker, so I assumed this is what being “one of the boys” meant.

I took all of those com-ments and jokes over the entire summer, but in the end, truth be told, I couldn’t handle it. I couldn’t take being nervous at work; I couldn’t handle being “one of the guys.”

At the time, I didn’t stand up for myself. I thought this is what my life was going to be like working in construc-tion. I assumed that’s just what it was, and decided I had to toughen up.

Looking back, I know that I could’ve avoided a lot of this if I just used my voice. I could have recognized that this stu� was not okay, and that I needed to stand up for myself. I didn’t want to turn to another man for suggestions because I didn’t want anyone to think that I couldn’t handle it. I truly wish that I would’ve known at least one other woman in the industry at this time. A mentor that I could’ve con-�ded in, and would have let me know that this wasn’t part of being “one of the guys.”

Thankfully, this experi-ence was a one-off and I have never had to deal with something like that again. Males on site are my allies, and I know the people I work with, including myself and many others, wouldn’t put up with that nonsense.

�is is what motivated the creation of Women in Steel Toes (WIST).

In January 2020, WIST was created with a simple goal, to support women in the industry and inspire the next generation of construction workers.

Since then, this message has echoed and grown into a community of women and men who are striving to grow the industry and show people how great a career in construction can be.

Women in Steel Toes is growing with three main pillars in mind:

1. We are storytellers. We are here to share real experiences of women in the industry, good and bad. There’s no exaggeration, no sugar coating, just stories of how women are growing their careers.

2. We are here to inspire. There’s nothing cooler than seeing a project go from nothing to a huge something. With a var-iety of trades and career paths to choose from, construction is a great place to be for anyone who loves a challenge. We want to get people thinking of these ca-reer paths at a younger age and let everyone know about the options they have, which they may not have other-wise known existed.

3. We are here to support you. Have questions about the industry? Need help �nding resources? Want to connect with someone in your field or potential �eld? Don’t hesitate to contact our team to help set you in the right direction.

Women in Steel Toes is about more than breaking through barriers and shar-ing stories of women in the industry.

It’s about showing women they can. We started this movement as a way to

normalize seeing women in the industry and break-ing down stereotypes. We quickly realized how much a need there is for change, and to get people thinking about careers in construc-tion again.

I n t h e f u t u r e , w e ’ r e working towards setting

up scholarships for up and coming apprenticeships and tuitions, as well as demon-stration classes, to allow high school students to ex-plore what construction is all about.

Let's strive to break indus-try barriers, raise the 13 per cent of women in construc-

tion and garner an industry that breaths potential and growth for future genera-tions.

To celebrate its 95th birth-day, Caterpillar has created a massive Pac-Man game-board, where skid steers serve as the game’s charac-ters.

�e Pac-man gameboard is part of the successful Cat Trials series, a total of eight videos which have logged more than 18 million views. As Cat celebrates its 95th an-niversary, Pac-Man is also marking 40 years since the game was released.

“�ese trials are designed to surprise and delight our customers and prospects, as well as people outside our industry,” said Victoria Keese Morrissey, global market-ing and brand director for Caterpillar.

“Challenges the ghosts pose to Pac-Man strike a unique metaphor for ob-stacles lurking around each corner of the jobsite. Power pellets represent the role Cat dealer services play in help-ing our customers overcome these challenges.”

�e Cat Trial #9: Pac-Man plays out on a 49.5 metre by 55 metre version of the iconic game, which is 19,040 per cent larger than the origin-al scale of the maze on the classic arcade screen, and was built and played using the latest Cat equipment as well as grade and remote technology.

“We appreciate Caterpillar approaching us and giving a nod to Pac-Man’s 40th anni-versary in a truly unique way, and we were excited to work with them,” said Yutaka Fuse, head of Pac-Man licensing and branding team for Ban-dai Namco Entertainment. “It’s amazing how Caterpil-lar’s equipment was able to precisely recreate the iconic Pac-Man maze in the real world on such a grand scale. We were astonished by the �nal product.”

Pac-Man constructionTo build the maze, the ori-

ginal Pac-Man gameboard design was loaded into the Cat Grade with 3D system

on the 336 Next Gen excav-ator, eliminating the need for stakes and grade checkers, saving time in the construc-tion of the gameboard.

In total, 70 labour hours were required for the 336 to create the gameboard. About 195 cubic metres of cut/�ll dirt was removed to build the maze that was comprised of 151 corners and 1.2-metre tall walls.

Support equipment to construct the gameboard, also using Cat Grade with 3D to ensure they followed the same plan, included multiple �eld prep Cat doz-ers, Cat wheel loaders, a 323 excavator, trucks and water wagons.

“Cat Grade with 3D en-abled the workers to only handle material one time for digging, loading, haul-ing and dumping,” said J. Archie Lyons, creative dir-ector, global brand strategy and activation for Caterpillar.

“ R e d u c i n g m a t e r i a l handling is just one of the challenges our customers face, and Cat Grade technol-ogy greatly enhances jobsite e�ciency.”

Five Cat 236D3 remote controlled skid steer loaders were used for play to repre-

sent Pac-Man and the four ghosts (Blinky, Inky, Clyde and Pinky). �e ghost avatars placed atop the Cat loaders could be seen above the maze walls.

The four corner power pellets that put Pac-Man on the o�ensive represent Cat dealer services— Customer Value Agreements, Repair Options, Cat Financial and the Cat App.

H e l p i n g w i t h f l e e t management, �nancing and maintenance, Cat Services give customers an extra e�-ciency boost in the �eld.

Caterpillar also stayed true to the original game by including fruit bonuses, represented by Cat parts boxes. Fruit is how Pac-Man earns points, which in turn helps to earn additional lives, like how Genuine Cat Parts allow customers to get more life out of their machines to get the job done.

“As a unique surprise at the end, we wanted to pay hom-age to the original game, in a way only Caterpillar could. Due to available memory at the time, level 256 experien-ces an integer over�ow, and the right side of the board can’t be rendered,” Lyons said. “We have duplicated the

original screen’s look of level 256 with our real-life Pac-Man game, using four Cat dozers to create the e�ect.”

�e participants control-ling the Cat 236D3 skid steers using line-of-sight remote control systems were:

· Pac-Man – Jim Kosner of JIMAX Landscaping & Demolition, Peoria, Illi-nois.

· Blinky – Joey Stone, NASCAR/Richard Chil-d re s s R a c i n g ( RC R ) eSports driver of the #8 Virtual Cat car.

· Inky – Alfonso Farjardo of Horsepower Site Ser-

vices, Charlotte, N.C., a Caterpillar Global Oper-ator Challenge regional �nalist.

· Clyde – Tom Gardocki, The Dirt Ninja, heavy equipment operator in

landscaping and con-struction.

· Pinky – BLITZ, social media influencer, You-Tube gaming content creator and civil engin-eer.

Metso Outotec will close its wear parts fac-tory in North Bay, Ontario.

The factory closure is part of the com-pany’s plan to develop its global rubber and poly-met supply chain by restructuring its consumables wears manufacturing oper-ations in North America.

Production at the North Bay facility will be ramped down by the end of the �rst half of 2021. �e closure will a�ect a total of about 65 employees.

Metso Outotec will utilize the existing North and Central American manufacturing footprint in order to serve its customers.

“We are continuously developing our global supply footprint to ensure sustainable and pro�table growth,” said Sami Takaluoma, president of the consumables business area at Metso Outotec.

“To close a factory is a hard, but necessary,

decision, and we realize that it will have im-plications on our employees. We will work to support them through the transition.”

�e North Bay facility produces rubber and poly-met wear parts used in the mining industry.

In mid-2019, Metso and Outotec an-nounced they would merge to create a single company.

Headquartered in Finland and listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki, Metso Outotec employs more than 15,000 people in more than 50 countries. Its combined sales for 2019 were about EUR$4.2 billion.

Today, Metso Outotec is the leading pro-vider of rubber and poly-met mill lining with an extensive service network in all main mining markets. �e company cur-rently operates 11 factories manufacturing synthetic solutions globally.

Procore Technologies has acquired Esti-com, a cloud-based estimating and take-off solution provider of preconstruction technology.

The acquisition will add estimating functionality to the Procore platform, complementing Procore’s existing pre-construction abilities by enabling greater accuracy in cost estimates, helping general contractors and specialty contractors win more bids, increasing productivity and reduce risk throughout the lifecycle of a project.

“We welcome the Esticom team to Pro-core,” said Tooey Courtemanche, Procore founder and chief executive officer.

“Procore is investing in the future of preconstruction, an increasingly import-ant and impactful part of the construction process.

Together, Procore and Esticom will deliv-er a single, comprehensive preconstruction solution on the Procore platform, with data connectivity that helps customers track costs and accurately predict estimates.”

During preconstruction, project plan-ning takes place to define the project details, identify potential issues, finalize designs and drawings as well as define project budget, scope and schedule.

Estimation assistanceEsticom helps the construction industry

streamline the traditionally cumbersome process of takeoff and estimation. It enables contractors to determine the quantities of materials needed on a jobsite, using

project drawings and specifications, and then calculate labour and material cost estimates using a built-in catalogue of materials and assemblies.

With the acquisition of Esticom, Procore extends its product capability into earlier stages of the construction process, con-necting owners, general contractors and specialty contractors on a single platform.

“Contractors who use Esticom typically see a three-fold increase in the number of construction projects they can estimate, and a five-fold increase in takeoff speed,” said Esticom co-founder Chris Lee.

“Esticom is modernizing preconstruction by replacing paper plans and spreadsheets, and delivering more accurate estimates. We look forward to further advancing precon-struction as part of the Procore platform.”

Procore plans to fully integrate Esticom into the Procore platform next year. For now, Esticom will remain a partner on the Procore App Marketplace, with an existing integration where estimates can be exported directly to generate a project budget within Procore.

Current Esticom users will continue to be supported as usual, and the product is available for purchase through Esticom.

To date, more than 1 million projects and more than US$1 trillion in construction volume have run on Procore's platform.

The Procore platform connects every project stakeholder to solutions built spe-cifically for the construction industry — for the owner, the general contractor and the specialty contractor.

For the �rst time in its history, the Ontario Asphalt Pavement Council’s annual Fall Asphalt Seminar will be hosted virtually.

For 29 years the seminar has been a hub of asphalt education as Canada’s largest single-day asphalt seminar.

The 2020 program, Innovation & Col-laboration – Paving the Way for Excellence will feature leading industry experts who will present on cutting-edge practices and new technical advancements in the asphalt industry.

The virtual seminar will take place on November 26.

“�is year, many of our plans changed, but we were set to deliver a robust Fall Asphalt Seminar, and are very pleased that we can do so virtually,” said ORBA OAPC technical director Doubra Ambaiowei.

“Our presenters will aid our knowledge and understanding of many key issues includ-ing in regards to innovations in pavement and hot mix asphalt technologies, and ap-plication of statistical specifications and balancing risks.”

Keynote speakersHighlights of the upcoming program in-

clude keynote speaker Matthew Sweezie, paving engineer, construction branch for New Brunswick’s Department of Transpor-tation and Infrastructure.

Sweezie will outline New Brunswick’s ex-perience with the implementation of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA).

�e New Brunswick Department of Trans-portation and Infrastructure (NBDTI) was one of the early adopters of WMA technology in Canada. At the time, warm mix was de-veloped to help reduce energy consumption and stack emissions during production.

WMA allows for longer haul distances, lower placement temperatures and improved workability.

�e NBDTI initiated its �rst WMA pilot in 2007. Since then, WMA volume has been steadily increased. Over the last three con-struction seasons, NBDTI utilized WMA on about half of its paving projects.

Ontario looks to improve its WMA imple-mentation, with key lessons learned from New Brunswick’s experiences.

Superpave5�e program’s second keynote speaker,

Gerry Huber, associate director of research at Heritage Research Group, will provide insight into the Superpave5 concept. Super-pave5 uses a design air void content of 5 per cent instead of the current Superpave requirement of 4 per cent.

�e promise of Superpave5 is resulting asphalt mixes that have at least the same amount of asphalt binder content, that are compactable to 5 per cent in-place air voids and have at least the same amount of rut resistance. But, can they be built? Are there opportunities for increasing the AC content, and, will the mix age more slowly? Gerry will answer those questions and more in his presentation.

Registration for the 2020 Virtual Fall As-phalt Seminar is complimentary for ORBA members and $99 for non-members. Asphalt producers, contractors, road owners, con-sulting engineers, researchers and academics are encouraged to attend.

LIFT/ACCESS

When �e Manitowoc Company implemented a common control system across its family of cranes, the company recognized an oppor-tunity to use simulators to support the marketing and sales program behind the initiative, as well as deliver operator training.

Manitowoc partnered with CM Labs to develop the simulators.

CM Labs then developed branded Manitowoc crane training simula-tors to capture the look, feel and operator experience. �e simulators are now supporting the roll-out and adoption of Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS) by helping to train operators on the advantages of the control system.

Sales and marketing teams are also using the simulators to allow prospective buyers to virtually test-drive Manitowoc’s cranes.

With manufacturing facilities throughout North America, Europe and Asia, Manitowoc is a global en-tity. Much of the company’s growth is attributed to the acquisition of brands such as Grove, National Crane, Potain and Shuttlelift.

But diversity has its challenges. While multiple product lines help the company dominate market share, each product line has histor-ically had its own engineering and design centres. �is created steep learning curves for operators as they encountered di�erent Manitowoc crane models.

Manitowoc’s CCSTo resolve this, an initiative was

launched to standardize controls across the Manitowoc line of cranes. Found on virtually every Manitowoc crane, the Crane Control System (CCS) provides a common look and feel from an operational perspec-tive. �e objective of the CCS is to provide customers with equipment usage �exibility by reducing much of the training normally required to operate an unfamiliar crane.

“With the CCS, regardless of

which model you’re talking about, control inputs are very similar,” ex-plained John Alexander, director of service, training and telematics at Manitowoc. “For example, this allows an operator to run one of our all-terrain cranes and then jump into a rough-terrain crane and have the same functionality, feel and control inputs.”

Information sharingAnother benefit lies within

product development and engin-eering. Commonality behind the core programming language of the control system inputs, is allowing Manitowoc’s engineering commun-ity to share information and make enhancements throughout product lines from both a component and control system software perspective. �e result of the collaboration is an opportunity to leverage informa-tion and best practices to advance innovation.

Innovation in trainingTraining plays a key role in the

market’s adoption of any new in-itiative, and CCS is no exception.

“Even 20 years ago, machines were built without all of today’s so-phisticated program control system inputs,” Alexander said. “Functions were straightforward and operated through lever action. But now cranes are controlled digitally, making operation more complex. What’s more, there are unique distinctions from one model to another that an operator has to be comfortable with. �at’s why it’s critical to have well-trained operators in the seats of newer cranes, and the more standardization across models, the easier that becomes.”

When it comes to e�ective train-ing, hands-on interaction with physical equipment and controls is invaluable. However, �eld training with any piece of equipment — especially a crane — is expensive and can be logistically imprac-

tical. Training simulators, on the other hand, offer a cost-effective alternative that is both practical and e�cient.

“We had been interested in simu-lation-based training and impressed with CM Labs technology for a long time,” Alexander said. “Prior to CCS, there really wasn’t the opportunity to standardize on anything related to training. But as control system com-monality became more prevalent across our cranes, we recognized the opportunity to partner with CM Labs and integrate CCS controls into a training simulator.”

Manitowoc is now taking full ad-vantage of its CM Labs simulators. While physical machine training can be limited by time, space and cost, simulators are available to provide multiple trainees with ample hands-on experience.

Training can also be adapted to the unique requirements and experience of each operator. A journeyman may require just a quick tutorial to become familiar with the inputs, while a new oper-ator will require considerably more training time.

In addition, the ability to sell branded simulators to training schools has the potential to boost operator loyalty to the Manitowoc brand, thanks to the learning ex-perience provided by CM Labs’ simulators.

Selling pointManitowoc sells and supports

machines directly and through its dealer network. According to Alex-ander, the ease of use of the CCS, from both an operator and tech-nician perspective, has become a selling point.

In fact, when it comes to making a sale, nothing beats the opportunity to put prospective customers at the controls. �is is where key features and the innovation that’s unique to the equipment shines.

At the same time, trade shows

and events o�er an opportunity to showcase equipment to a broad range of buyers. �rough CM Labs simulators, Manitowoc is provid-ing an opportunity to experience their equipment right on the show �oor. As well, the ability of CM Labs’ simulators to integrate with the CCS platforms enables Manitowoc to show just what the CCS can do.

“At a trade show, we might have eight or 10 cranes on the site, but there are restrictions regarding oper-ating equipment. Even simply sitting in the cab is limited as you can only have one person on the crane at any given time” said Alexander. “With our simulator we can have six, eight, 10 or more people watching

what’s happening. �is gives us a greater opportunity to showcase the bene�ts of our equipment and CCS technology.”

Similarly, simulators allow for demonstrating picks, swinging and other operations that are not permit-ted at a show. Attendees can take the controls in hand and run the crane in a controlled environment.

“Simulation allows prospective customers to go through the crane functions, options and features, just like the real thing. From a lifting perspective – how easy it is to set up the RCL, to view error codes, how easy it is to interact with the controls – all of those features can be easily demonstrated on the simulator.”

Pictured here in 1963 is an aerial platform on its inaug-ural test lift.

Mobile Aerial Towers Inc., based in Fort Wayne, Indi-ana, started operations in 1950, manufacturing aerial platforms for tree service and utility companies. A decade later, they had de-veloped an articulating boom aerial platform, equipped with snorkels for use by �re departments. Several di�er-ent models of the Hi-Ranger Snorkel were developed, between 15 and 26 metres,

in the era. In the decades following, Ward-LaFrance Fire Equipment was the East-ern Canadian distributor. By 1987, the last Hi-Ranger Snorkel had been delivered and due to �nancial issues, Mobile Aerial Towers Inc. ceased operations.

The articulating boom aerial work platform shown here was destined to work at NASA's Cape Canaveral where the fledgling space program was ramping up.

With a reach of 36 metres, this unit was assigned to

the rocket pre-launch area so technicians could per-form their work safely. �e trip from Indiana to Florida was quite the journey due to the 21.3 metre length of the unit when in transport mode. Many of the Interstate highways were only partially complete by then, so many regional roads had to be util-ized for the eight-day trip.

International Trucks Ltd. had built a special tandem chassis with a 6.5 metre wheel-base in their Fort Wayne plant. With the articu-

lating boom work platform installed on the reinforced chassis, it was �tting that the �rst test lift occurred at the International plant tower.

To see more than 60 re-stored pieces of vintage construction equipment in action, be sure to attend the Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCE A) Canada’s 2021 events: Wheels & Tracks in Motion, held in June, and the Last Blast in October. Both events are held at the Simcoe County Museum near Barrie, Ontario.

After manufacturing about 1,500 LTM 1130-5.1 mobile cranes, Liebherr has introduced its successor — the LTM 1150-5.3.

With a maximum lifting capacity of 150 tonnes and a 66 metre telescopic boom, the LTM 1150-5.3 joins Liebherr’s crane range below the 180 tonne LTM 1160-5.2.

�e 10 per cent longer telescopic boom (compared to its predecessor) will hoist on average 15 per cent higher loads with both maximum and part ballast. With this in mind, Liebherr engineers ensured the new crane has the same low gross weight as its predecessor. With an axle load of 12 tonnes, the crane can carry 9 tonnes of ballast on public roads.

“A �exible all-rounder, the LTM 1150-5.3 will enhance any crane �eet like a jewel. It has the longest boom in this crane class at 66 metres and can compete with crane models in the 200 tonne lifting capacity class. It delivers outstanding lifting capacities when fully raised and at large radii. And it is immediately ready for use once it reaches the site,” said Christoph Kleiner, a sales director with Liebherr.

“�is is because the new 150 tonne crane carries 9 tonnes of a ballast with a gross weight of 60 tonnes. �at means it can complete lots of jobs without requiring additional ballast transport vehicles. �at saves time and money, and makes the crane even more valuable to crane contractors – hence our slogan: �e jewel for your crane �eet.”

Telescopic boom Compared to its predecessor, the telescopic boom on the

new LTM 1150-5.3 is 6 metres longer. At the same length of 60 metres, the new 5-axle crane can hoist 12 tonnes when fully raised — 1.5 tonnes more than its predecessor. When fully extended to 66 metres, the new crane has a lifting capacity of more than 9 tonnes. Its lifting capacity makes it ideal for erecting tower cranes as well as radio masts.

As well, lattice extensions allow the new 150-tonne crane

to achieve hook heights of up to 92 metres and radii of up to 72 metres. For this, a 7 metre lattice section as a boom extension and a 10.8 to 19 metre double folding jib are used. �e latter can be adjusted hydraulically between 0 degrees and 40 degrees. A 2.9 metre erection jib and a runner, which can be swung to the side, round o� the equipment list. Particularly economical, the lattice jibs are compatible for many crane models in the 100 to 180 tonne class within the Liebherr portfolio.

ECOdrive and ECOmode A six-cylinder Liebherr diesel engine provides the drive

power for the LTM 1150-5.3. It provides 544 bhp and a torque of a 2,516 Nm. �e engine also meets Stage V emissions requirements and can also be con�gured to comply with Tier 4 or IIIA for low regulated countries.

The ZF-TraXon gearbox is used to transfer the power to the crane's axles. ECOdrive delivers enhanced drive properties, which save fuel and reduces noise and carbon dioxide emissions. As well, Hillstart Aid makes starting on gradients easier.

Liebherr has continued its single-engine strategy on this crane with a mechanical drive unit for the superstructure. �e weight reduction created by the elimination of a super-structure engine from the previous model is used to deliver a longer boom and more lifting capacity.

�e new 150 tonne crane also features ECOmode for crane operations to reduce fuel consumption and emissions of both noise and carbon dioxide. �e complete pump drive can be disconnected automatically when the engine is idling and then reconnected by the intelligent controller in

a matter of seconds when it is required. Furthermore, the crane controller automatically calculates the right engine speed for the working speed selected, using the control lever to avoid unnecessarily high engine speeds.

A �rst for telescopic cranes Hook blocks must be heavy to make sure that the hoist-

ing winch spools reliably. At the same time, however, they should be as light as possible for being transported on the crane and for high net loads during hoists.

Liebherr has designed a completely new range of hook blocks to satisfy the contradicting requirements. �e hook blocks feature weight plates that are attached to both sides of the hook block to change the weight, so that it is ideal for the current situation.

“Our engineers have produced a simple, but brilliant de-sign as it means that operators can react even more �exibly to every job,” Kleiner said.

For example, a three-roller hook block, which previously has weighed about 700 kg in this crane class, now only weighs 500 kg. However, it can be upgraded to 700 kg quickly and easily when necessary. �e new system is available for one to seven-roller hook blocks.

�ese can be used on cranes with both 19 mm and 21 mm ropes. The weights can be interchanged to ensure simple handling.

Tadano has started a stra-tegic restructuring program for its two German subsidi-aries, Tadano Demag GmbH and Tadano Faun GmbH.

Demag and Faun are the core companies of Tadano’s European operations. As a result of the reorganization process, Tadano predicts both companies will further en-hance their capacity to serve the needs of customers in Europe and around the world.

�e restructuring also aims to maximize Demag’s and Faun’s value for the Tadano Group, while creating strong-er group synergies.

The development of the restructuring plan is expected to take about three months.

�e plan to restructure fol-lows economic challenges accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Demag and Faun have de-cided, in consultation with Tadano and with professional advisors, to �le for Protective Shield Proceedings pursuant to the German Insolvency Directive as of early October.

“We intend to perma-nently optimize production processes at Tadano Demag and Tadano Faun, and o�er a far more complete range of lifting equipment solutions in the future,” Tadano said in a news release. “�e company remains fully committed to its goal of becoming a global leader in the lifting equip-ment industry and considers its German operations to be an important pillar in this endeavour.”

Protective Shield Proceed-ings are a German judicial restructuring procedure, which provides companies in distress with a chance to stabilize their business while staying in control of their operations.

During Protective Shield Proceedings companies draw up a dedicated restructuring plan with some temporary regulations coming into e�ect to make it easier for compan-ies to reorganize. Protective Shield Proceedings can only be applied to companies that are solvent and for which a

successful restructuring is likely – as it is the case with both Demag and Faun.

Both companies have been confronted with shrinking markets and mounting competitive pressure for some time. The resulting economic challenges have escalated considerably in recent months due to the pandemic and cannot be suf-ficiently mitigated, despite short-term work, as well as other proactive measures taken.

Tadano sees a reorganiz-ation of Demag and Faun utilizing Protective Shield Proceedings as an essential step toward better serving the needs of customers and continuing to advance the strategic goals of the Tadano Group.

Following the Tadano Group’s strategic acquisition of Demag Mobile Cranes in 2019, integration initiatives within Tadano’s European and global operations con-tinue to take place. Teams spanning various locations

worldwide are working to realize synergies in order to raise global competitiveness in the mid and long term. Pro-duction at Demag and at Faun in Germany is ongoing and all existing and new orders are being ful�lled.

Alex Fait, owner of Fait Construction started his business nine years ago, and like most new businesses, while the first couple of years were anything but easy, the past five years have been very successful. Fait construction specializes in landscape construction, interlocking, tree services, fencing, demolition, commercial snow removal, basement renovations, disposal service and excavating services. Alex’s determination to always provide quality work and fair pricing for his clients has given him a great reputation in the Ottawa Valley region and is the reason for his growth. On his success, Alex says, “hard work pays off. You just have to keep at it and don’t give up. I get to wake up happy every morning because I love what I do.” Alex grew up on a farm and is used to hard work and has always had a passion for machines.

It was a late start this spring due to Covid-19, but now they are super busy, working six days a week to keep up with growing demands. They have two crews; one for landscaping/tree services and the other for renovations. They have a 100 acre tree farm with over 10,000 trees that his grandfather planted many years ago. He wanted to do a Christmas tree farm, but Alex realized it was more lucrative to sell whole trees and better for the environment too.

Alex first starting using Bobcat machines a long time ago and was looking to upgrade his Bobcat® T650 compact track loader to a T770 compact track loader. A friend referred him to Bobcat of Ottawa Valley. He worked out a deal with Pier-Olivier Castonguay, sales specialist and has since bought several machines through him. He now owns a

Bobcat E42 R-series compact excavator and a T870 compact track loader. “The Bobcat T870 is now my favourite machine. It’s bigger, stronger, and has even better stability and power, and it works perfectly for what we do. Grading, landscaping, tree planting, etc. I also love the new R-series E42 excavator though too. Bobcat is the Cadillac of machines,” stated Alex.

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pier-Olivier and Bobcat of Ottawa Valley. Pier-Olivier is a good salesman. He works hard too. Good at what he does and knows his stuff and that’s why he’s successful.”

Thanks Alex.

The new Manitou VJR 26 vertical mast platform incorporates innovation and technology into its design to focus on safety, perform-ance and low-cost mainten-ance.

Built for the rental mar-ket, the compact platform model consists of a vertical telescopic mast, electric trav-el motor and a perforated steel basket to meet indus-trial requirements. With a 350-degree turret rotation, the vertical mast platform offers operator’s greater flexibility and access with minimal repositioning.

The compactness of the VJR 26 work platform allows operators to pass through most industrial doors ac-cessing work heights up to 9.75 metres with a reach of 3.15 metres.

“�e new VJR 26 vertical mast platform is engineered with the customer in mind, incorporating new innov-ative features in safety and performance,” said Francois Desbriere, global product

line manager for mobile elevated work platforms at Manitou Group. “Manitou’s MEWPs lead the industry in Europe, for more than 25 years, and provide operators maximum productivity and smooth operation. �e VJR 26 can quickly make multiple movements at the same time, from changing the platform direction to lifting the boom and rotating the machine making it one of the most e�cient in the industry.”

To improve stability, the VJR 26 vertical mast is de-signed so that its centre of gravity is located in the lower area of the chassis. �e telescopic mast technology delivers a compact structure, which increases visibility of the machine and the work environment during oper-ations by the operator in the basket. The controls in the Manitou VJR 26 are simple and intuitive for quick start. As well, they are equipped with safety features including load and tilt sensors and an anti-entrapment system for

additional safety. A standard 24V battery allows the VJR 26 to operate for a complete day of work and extends its service life. �e lifting struc-ture using telescopic booms reduces the maintenance thanks to the reduction of moving parts. �e operator can easily access the battery and hydraulic components by unlocking the latches of the turret cover.

An added benefit to the VJR 26 is the ease and safety of transportation of the ver-

tical mast platform. Two forks pockets are

located on the platform to allow a forklift to load and transport the machine side-ways. �is allows loading the machine onto a trailer to be faster and safer.

Machine maintenance is simpli�ed with a self-diag-nostic panel at ground level. Manitou’s telematics system gives the ability to manage the unit’s location, main-tenance cycles and service warnings.

Manitou introduces rental-focused vertical mast platform

Comansa is incorporating new features into its 11LC Series �at top crane range, and the improvements will soon be available on the com-pany’s 16LC.

�e �at top crane improvements include enhanced ergonomics, thanks to new and simplified ac-cessing elements located not only on the cathead, but also on the jib sections for easy access to the trolley.

Furthermore, a new single trolley is now available as an option which features a manual single-double reeving change by the operator dir-ectly from the ground.

Comansa has equipped the cranes with new drives in the hoisting winch and trolley to provide new linear movements, thanks to attached po-tentiometers. �is addition makes it possible to easily move and precisely position sensitive loads. Further-more, a new version of the 18-kW hoist mechanism has been added to the 6-ton �at top cranes, requiring less power supply while maintaining drum capacity and speed features.

Comansa’s Power Lift system is also standard on the cranes. The system improves the load diagram by 10 per cent at reduced speeds.

An optional 24 kW and 37 kW hoist motors are available, and feature the E�-Plus system which increases sig-ni�cantly the hoisting and lowering speeds for light loads without in-creasing power or consumption.

Another signi�cant innovation is the new “M” sized Cube cab togeth-er with a resized and redesigned platform for an easier erection and maintenance. �e fully glazed front of the cab allows a complete view of the load and the work area, which, in turn, maximizes performance. �e improved positioning of the seat and body posture also delivers excellent comfort to the crane operator.

The Quick Set system, which is already available in the 21LC series, has been introduced in the 11LC family as an option. �e technology is designed to simplify the commis-sioning of cranes.

With Quick Set, the set up and calibration times have been sig-ni�cantly reduced, using a system that leads to easier, safer and more intuitive adjustments, achieving faster and less labour-intensive calibration.

Comansa continues to produce four models in the 11LC Series,

including the 11LC90, 11LC132, 11LC150 and 11LC160. �e com-pany is also adding a new 6 tons version of the 11LC150 to the �at top crane range. All of the machines, as a Flat-Top design, bring its well-known advantages as easier, faster and safer assembly, longer life for the structure and smaller distance between overlapping cranes.

Comansa debuts the new generation of its 11LC Series

JLG to introduce four new Hi-Capacity boom lifts

JLG Industries is adding four new machines to its range of Hi-Capacity HC3 boom lifts.

The new 450AJ, 600AJ, 800AJ and 800S HC3 booms are set to roll off production lines in the coming months, join the lineup that currently includes the 400S, 460SJ, 600S, 660SJ and 860SJ HC3 models.

Expanded work envelope The JLG Hi-Capacity HC3 boom lifts

offer an expanded work envelope and three capacity zones for more reach. In fact, the JLG Hi-Capacity HC3 models are rated for three occupants with tools in all three zones.

“Customer input, coupled with the in-creasing popularity of higher-capacity boom lifts, drove the expansion of our HC3 product offering, which now includes 80-foot platform height models,” said Nate Hoover, director of marketing and product management for boom lifts at JLG.

“All Hi-Capacity HC3 model boom lifts have been engineered to provide increased capabilities and boost productivity on the job site.”

The 400 Series Hi-Capacity HC3 boom lifts include the 12.2 metre platform 400S HC3 model and the 14-metre platform 460SJ HC3 model, while the 600 Series Hi-Cap-acity HC3 models consist of the 600AJ HC3 and 600S HC3, which each deliver an 18.3 metre platform height, and the 660SJ, which boasts a 20.1-metre platform height. Meanwhile, the 800 Series Hi-Capacity HC3 booms include the 24.4-metre platform height 800AJ HC3 and 800S HC3, and the 26.2-metre 860SJ HC3.

All models offer 340 kg and 453 kg re-stricted capacity zones.

As well, JLG’s 400 Series, 600 Series and 800AJ boom lift models offer a 299-kg un-restricted capacity zone, while the 800S and 860SJ have a 227-kg unrestricted capacity zone.

JLG load sensingAn innovative load sensing system from

JLG limits operation of a machine when the platform is overloaded, automatically keeping operation within the allowable work envelope.

The zero-calibration system on all HC3 models eliminates the need to use external weights to calibrate the lift, which saves time and effort, while increasing productivity.

As well, new LED displays improve visibil-ity of the platform and ground consoles

during operation. The displays sense ambient light condi-

tions and adjust brightness accordingly, helping to maximize visibility and operator comfort.

The HC3 booms also include an innova-tive chassis tilt alarm that alerts the operator

when the machine is on a slope that exceeds five degrees.

While the new Hi-Capacity HC3 boom lifts are heavier than their standard model counterparts, they retain the same footprint for ease of transport and use in comparable work environments.

Waratah Forestry Equipment has introduced four new harvester heads to its lineup, including the HTH622B Series-III, H415HD, H219 and H219X.

�e H219 and H219X harvester heads are two new models added to Waratah’s 200 Series line.

Primarily built for late thinning or �nal felling, the H219 and H219X have a variety of features for added uptime in harvesting, processing and debarking applications.

“�e robust Waratah H219 and H219X heads de�ne high capacity two-roller productivity,” said Brent Fisher, product marketing man-ager for Waratah. “Whether you’re in final felling or variable diam-eter late thinning in mixed stands, crooked hardwood or debarking ap-plications, the new models deliver versatility with durability, perform-ance and serviceability features our customers expect.”

�e H219, weighing in at 1,970 kg, or the H219X at 2,050 kg, feature a narrow head design to improved visibility in thinning applications, while the two-roller geometry de-sign provides excellent handling of variable diameters and challenging tree forms up to 75 cm in diameter.

Available con�guration options promote productivity in processing applications. �ese include longer upper-delimb arms, top saw and �nd-end sensor, which are avail-able for faster processing of logs from the ground. As well, the new length measuring unit has improved geometry and consistency for more precise measurements – reducing measuring loss and reversals.

Additionally, the H219 and H219X are equipped with the new Super-Cut 100S saw unit. A highlight of the SuperCut 100S is the improved chain tensioning system, which extends saw bar and tip life, while reducing chain jump-o�. �e saw also has new mechanical bar locking – making saw chain changes easier.

“�e H219 and H219X are such great heads for large wheeled or tracked machines, handling so many di�erent large diameter ap-plications,” Fisher said.

A heavy-duty tilt frame option is available for tracked applications, and it is standard on the H219X.

Improved hose routing along with new guarding protection on both the exterior and underside of the head help extend hose life.

�e optional top saw now has a

more integrated design to improve durability and serviceability. �e new design features guarding on the underside to keep splinters and debris away.

Additionally, the new measuring arm design features a larger cylinder and pins, higher contact force and increased shock resistance while a larger and more aggressive meas-uring wheel expertly handles trees with thick bark.

HTH622B Series-III �e new HTH622B Series-III is

the next generation of its HTH622B harvester head. The new model combines improved operational performance, proven durability and new serviceability features for next-level productivity and uptime

“�e HTH622B has a loyal cus-tomer following and is now better than ever – as the new HTH622B Series-III,” Fisher said. “We’ve been listening to customers and assessing their needs, and their input has driven development in an even better product with the HTH622B Series-III.”

�e updated HTH622B includes several new features to improve performance. �is includes a new valve with better �ow-through char-acteristics for reducing heat, while improving feed speed and sawing performance.

Additionally, a new measuring arm with 30 mm more travel and sensor protection provides in-creased accuracy in measuring crooked wood and improved up-time.

�e HTH622B Series-III also fea-tures several upgrades for durability in tough woods. A new twin retainer front knife and strengthened upper delimb castings each contribute to improved delimbing durability in the harshest applications. For increased strength and productivity, the head has a new tilt frame and optional integrated colour marking system.

An optional main saw box strengthening kit for harvesting can provide additional protection, and new top saw motor protection and seals help �ght cold weather conditions to improve uptime.

Supplementing the new valve performance and reliability is faster access to the valve with new inte-grated handles and tool-less entry – followed by an improved and sim-pli�ed hose layout, which provides

optimum access and serviceability. Additionally, a larger saw oil �ller

makes fills faster with less spills. Improved pin retention also re-duces stress on pins and need for servicing, which maximizes uptime.

“When I saw the new 622B Ser-ies-III, I was really amazed,” said Luc Jalbert, owner of Luc Jalbert Foresterie Inc. “I was anxious to take it to the woods to try it. And I think they really succeeded; they made a good thing. In the new series, the operators like the tilt; there is more torque on the rollers; the top saw is faster. And the oil cap – it’s really big.”

H415HD�e new H415HD, a heavy-duty

harvesting head with new features and options, was designed based on customer feedback.

To increase durability across the

range, the frame on the H415HD as well as the H415 and H415X have been strengthened at several loca-tions, thanks to customer feedback, providing more durability and in-creased uptime.

The H415HD’s base weight is 1,401 kg, which is 71 kg more than the standard H415.

“The new H415HD extends durability to our customers pro-viding another configuration to suit their needs and bolster uptime within the size class of 400 Ser-ies model Waratah heads,” Fisher said. “We’ll continue to offer the H415 and H415X models, and the new H415HD will be an additional option for our customers looking for that heavy-duty performer for wheeled harvester applications.”

Standard features of the H415HD include an HD tilt frame with a thicker steel plate, expander pins

for upper tilt cylinder, feed roller arms and lower delimbing knives – to improve pin durability and frame longevity. As well, the HD feed motor and hose guards help improve durability of the harvesting head.

To lengthen the service life of the saw bar and alleviate interference in some applications, the H415HD’s saw position was changed to provide more room between the saw bar and stem. All three con�gurations of the H415 heads now feature the possibility for a wider saw bar and improved saw chain tensioning to reduce chain loss, bar wear and pro-mote more operational productivity.

The models also share a lower saw box height (30 mm) creating lower stump height and more wood recovery. �is is complemented by an improved lower delimbing knife pro�le for larger stem sizes.

Rototilt and Steelwrist have partnered to launch Open-S – a new open standard for fully automatic quick couplers.

The standard allows machine operators to combine machine couplers, tiltrotators and tools from different manufacturers who are in compliance with Open-S and be confident that they will be compatible with each other.

"Open standards make everyday life eas-ier, whether it's plugs for electrical sockets, computer connectors or excavator quick couplers," said Stefan Stockhaus, CEO of Steelwrist AB. "Open-S also builds on the independent and established standard that already exists for quick couplers, the S Stan-dard."

Products that comply with the standard will be marked with ‘Open-S.’

Launched on Oct. 1, Open-S is owned and managed by an independent organization,

the Open-S Alliance, which in turn is led by a council of engineers from the member companies.

"We believe in healthy competition, where the industry's players compete to have the best products," said Rototilt CEO Anders Jonsson. "We don't want to lock customers into a closed interface. When customers buy a tiltrotator from Rototilt, they should feel confident that any hydraulic tool that complies with the Open-S standard will fit the tiltrotator."

The standard is based on three pillars: freedom for end-customers to select their preferred equipment, reliable safety solutions and the ability to benefit from continued technological development.

Improving upon safety is a priority, and in recent years major advancements have been made in terms of product and operator safety.

Open-S aims to ensure operators are more confident that safety solutions will continue to work.

The open interface defines hydraulic couplers and ensures that a combination of products from different manufacturers will not in any way interfere with or alter the safety solution of each individual product.

At the same time, Open-S does not define technical solutions incorporated in quick couplers or products. Instead, it ensures that the quick couplers from different manu-facturers are compatible with one another.

Open-S is completely machine and system independent, which means continued free-dom of choice to define different functions and additional features in the systems.

"Because we have agreed on how to con-nect the products, customers can freely choose from the product portfolio from

the manufacturers that comply with the standard." Jonsson said. "It becomes clear-er what fits together and which warranty provisions apply."

Both Steelwrist and Rototilt are seeing more customers adopt this type of solution. The Open-S standard makes it easier for contractors to take the first step towards a fully automatic quick coupler system.

While the Open-S Alliance currently includes Steelwrist and Rototilt, the organ-ization is encouraging more members to join the initiative.

"Interchangeability is the point," Stock-haus said.

"Any reputable manufacturer who believes in the usefulness of a common standard is welcome. We are already in talks with more manufacturers who want to join in the Open-S standard."

Rototilt and Steelwrist initiate Open-S


Geith is introducing its new GT (Geith Tilting) quick coupler.

The GT quick coupler is available for 2 to 27 ton excav-ators, and allows operators to tilt any bucket or attachment up to 180 degrees.

The fully automatic coup-lers, with four independent safety components, ensure a safe changeover of attach-ments without the need for the operator to leave the ex-cavator cab.

“Geith’s design and manu-facturing teams produce couplers that work extremely well with excavators,” said Ad-rian Kelly, sales manager for Geith. “We brought 60 years of experience and expertise to this new tilting coupler and the result is one of the safest, most productive couplers on the market with superior dur-ability.”

The GT quick coupler in-cludes a variable pin centre design, which allows oper-ators to easily pick up, and swap a wide range of OEM

attachments. As well, the coupler can

reverse buckets to allow oper-ators to excavate against walls or under pipes. This feature helps carry out landscaping with minimum disruption to the ground, as well as reduce waste and manual labour when filling pea gravel around pipes and manholes.

The compact design not only minimizes the tip radius extension, it also employs a mechanism that allows for more control of attachments with minimal drift, which, in turn, allows operators to achieve different angles and positions with ease.

As well, front and rear safety locks are backed up by two powerful springs, which re-tains the attachment rear pin in case of cylinder failure. The spring activated safety locks work in all dirty environments unlike gravity systems.

“As always, we’re focused on safety,” Kelly said. “As we de-sign new products, we look for ways Geith attachments can make a jobsite safer. All our couplers are ISO13031 safety compliant. The tilting coupler continues that tradition.”

The new attachments are now available and ready to ship from Geith’s Atlanta warehouse.

Bobcat Company is expanding its attach-ment lineup with the introduction of five new attachments for large excavators.

The lineup now includes the Bobcat trenching bucket, grading bucket and pin grabber, as well as main pin and pro-link thumb attachments paired specifically with the Bobcat E145 and E165 large excavators.

Heavy-duty trenching bucketThe new heavy-duty trenching bucket

makes light work out of the heaviest digging. Operators can equip their Bobcat E145 excavator with 61-cm, 63.5-cm or 106-cm

sizing options to upgrade their capabilities on the jobsite.

Heavy-duty grading bucketThe heavy-duty grading bucket helps de-

liver added capacity for operators working to move material on the jobsite. The bucket is beneficial for operators that are looking to easily finish, grade, backfill or clean ditches. The grading bucket may be pinned on, quick coupled or utilized with a thumb.

Hydraulic quick couplerWith the Bobcat hydraulic quick coupler,

excavator operators can easily switch out their attachment. The quick coupler uses a pin grabber style, and will only release in a curled position to ensure safe and secure coupling. Using the coupler, operators are able to change attachments from the security of the large excavator cab. As well, there are no grease points, so quick coupler maintenance is kept at a minimum.

HT thumbs Bobcat’s HT thumbs use a hydraulic

cylinder to give operators up to 137 degrees of rotation. The HT thumbs are compat-

ible with 91.5-cm and 106-cm excavator buckets. This attachment is beneficial for operators in demolition and land-clearing applications.

Pro-link thumbsThe progressive link thumb from Bob-

cat provide up to 180 degrees of rotation for unmatched versatility on the jobsite. The thumbs follow the excavator bucket throughout the entire work cycle, improving material pickup and placement close to the machine. The new thumbs are compatible with 91.5-cm and 106-cm buckets.

Geith launches its all-new GT quick coupler

Werk-Brau has designed its new high-per-formance loader buckets are specifically designed for strength and durability, whether digging in virgin soil or re-handling material up to 900 kg per cubic yard in density.

The buckets are built with a 3-degree in-clined bottom to reduce loading force, which allows the bucket to do more and last longer, with less wear and tear.

The bucket top channel has a strong design to withstand the high digging forces exerted by today’s more powerful machines. The top channel allows the bucket to be used is harsh conditions without worry of overloading or breaking.

High strength abrasion resistant steel is utilized in all critical components, ensur-ing strength and allowing easier dumping. All seams are welded solid to ensure extra durability.

As well, a curved side wall allows for greater capacity and higher yield, allowing users to dig and load more material per scoop. Further-more, an auxiliary edge and teeth are available upon request to make digging even easier.

Werk-Brau high performance loader buckets are available in various widths with capacities from 1 to 9 cubic yards, with special designs and capabilities available upon request.

All Werk-Brau loader attachments are manufactured to OEM specifications for all makes and models of all wheel loaders.

Established in 1947, Werk-Brau manufac-tures a complete line of OEM and replacement attachments for excavators, mini excavators, backhoes, mini and full-size loaders and crawler loaders.

Their products are made in the United States and sold through equipment dealers and distributors worldwide.

Werk-Brau debuts high performance loader buckets


John Deere has added three new single-motor, high-�ow snow blower models to its attachment lineup.

The SB72D, SB78D and SB84D snow blowers in-corporate features, such as hydraulically operated poly-lined chutes and de�ectors, reinforced wrappers, ad-justable skid shoes and two auger options for improved performance and durability.

�e new snow blowers are compatible with John Deere compact track loaders, com-pact wheel loaders and skid steers.

“We continue to expand our lineup of attachments to include additional, ver-satile solutions that increase the value and capabilities of our compact machines,” said Jessica Hill, program manager of global attach-ments at John Deere. “�e SB72D, SB78D and SB84D snow blower models are the ultimate snow-hand-ling attachments, helping clear snow faster and more e�ciently, while enduring harsh winter conditions.”

The two-stage hydraulic snow blowers are ideal for clearing snow from road-ways, parking lots, driveways and sidewalks, and they move snow up to 14 metres from the machine.

Alongside the standard smooth auger, the D-Ser-ies snow blowers are also available with a serrated auger option that is de-s i g n e d t o c u t t h ro u g h tough snow conditions. A case drain connection is not required on standard and high-�ow models, and the direct-drive motors at the auger and impeller provide reliable performance, while requiring fewer parts than previous models.

�e D-Series models fea-ture a 91-cm high-volume intake shroud, maximizing snow-clearing productivity.

�e hydraulically activat-ed, poly-lined chutes and de�ectors enable easy snow placement from in-cab con-trols, making it stress-free for the operator to manoeuvrer and remove snow. �e chute rotates 270 degrees using

a simple, direct-drive hy-draulic motor, rather than a chain and sprocket design or cables.

As well, the simple-to-ad-just skid shoes set cutting edge height to accommo-date different surge types on the job.

Additionally, the mod-els can be equipped with r e p l a c e a b l e b o l t - o n , wear-resistant, tapered steel edges and poly edges.
