A Message to Media Buyers Dear Advertiser: Thank you for your interest in Construction Equipment Guide (CEG).

CEG was founded in 1957 with the Northeast Edition because our founder, Edwin M. McKeon, realized there was a shortage of used heavy construction equipment and what there was of it was almost impossible to find. Recognizing that a regional publication would be a tremendous resource for both buyers and sellers, he published our first paper on May 29, 1958.

In an open letter to subscribers in our first issue, I described the mission of the paper: “The idea is to reach the five-state market of 10,000 prime buyer prospects for the used equipment and supplies that you have for sale ... We have one and only one purpose — to sell your used equipment.”

More than 67 years and tens of thousands of editions later, CEG has evolved from a simple listing of equipment to a sophisticated publication with in-depth coverage of industry news, including new equipment announcements, equipment applications, manufacturer and dealer announcements, company profiles, incisive project stories, event coverage, legislative reporting (both federal and local), and much, much more. Throughout all these changes over the years, not only with our publication, but also in the industry, CEG has never strayed from its founding mission — simply put, we remain your committed and primary source to help you sell your equipment and industry-related services.

Today, CEG’s four regional editions — Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and Western, as well as our Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Texas, California, Four Corners (Utah, Colorado, Arizona & New Mexico), Pacific Northwest and New England state supplements, have a combined circulation of approximately 85,000, 85 percent of which own heavy equipment and use industry products and services.

Each regional edition is published biweekly, 26 times a year. Unlike some other publications in the industry, CEG does not cycle its circulation — all of our editions reach the full circulation 26 times a year.

We also publish 13 special sections throughout the year featuring different types of construction equipment.

Your advertising can be scheduled in any one edition (or in any combination of the four), as well as in our state supplements. You will find our advertising rates very competitive. CEG also will meet your equipment selling needs through our website, www.constructionequipmentguide.com. Here, you’ll find all the editorial coverage that is in our print editions plus used equipment searches, dealer locators, product videos, auction calendars, digital editions and more.

Please review our Media Kit and consider joining our ever-increasing list of satisfied advertisers, some of whom have not missed an issue in more than six decades. We look forward to working with you to develop a customized marketing program that best serves your needs.

Sincerely,

Edwin M. McKeon (1930-2021) and the entire McKeon family Published Nationally ®

Deaner, North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) communication officer. “We will be able to move large volumes of traffic through the intersection faster and more safely."

Improvements at the intersection of U.S. 401 and Perry Creek Road also are being made. The section of U.S. 401 in this area sees an average of 56,000 vehicles daily. Additionally, feeder roads

such as Perry Creek Road, Mitchell Mill Road and Ligon Mill Road collectively contribute to an additional 17,000 vehicles on average each day.

Traffic is heavy during the morning and evening commute. U.S. 401 serves as a main corridor from northern towns and counties, creating heavy traffic volumes during the morning and evening commutes but also throughout the day. see NCDOT page 70

New DDI in Nashville Part of Major TDOT Project at I-40, Donelson Pike The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is wrapping up a major interchange project that has been in the works for a few years.

Officials with the state agency expect these upgrades to relieve much of the heavy traffic on Interstate 40 near Nashville International Airport (BNA).

WKRN-TV in Nashville reported that the project at Donelson Pike/Tennessee Highway 255, located at I-40’s Exit 216, southeast of downtown, is being completed ahead of schedule, though not as early as TDOT had hoped. The interchange’s opening date has been moved from June to July 2025. see DDI page 66

“The parallel tunnel is a key component of enhancing the safety and efficiency of this vital transportation link,” said Fred Stant, CBBT Commission chairman. “It demonstrates the CBBT Commission’s commitment to advancing infrastructure and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.”

COVID-19 forced construction contractors to rethink their approach to a multitude of issues, including insurance coverage for projects. Since investing in supply-chain visibility, vendor vetting and risk diversification, today the industry is better positioned for whatever comes next.

The city is working with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and other entities to create an unusual park that could play a role in the festivities. Although it will not

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Uncertainty about material prices and availability is nothing new to construction contractors.

Determining transport vehicle hauling capacity is a critical step in the safe machine transport process. Tire pressure must be logged and brake lights are required to function perfectly.

No project can really start

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT until the machinery arrives and is fired up. That’s why load securement is step number one in transporting heavy construction machinery. Assets can be damaged or destroyed, employees can be injured or worse during either loading or unloading, so hauling contractors cannot risk taking safety precautions lightly.

There are endless sources for solid information on proper load mobilization, starting with the USDOT. That’s why there’s no excuse for cutting corners during such a critical phase of the construction project. see TRANSPORT page 68

Reaping Big Beautiful Business Success How Construction Companies Can Make the Most of New Tax Laws Construction contractors have a lot to think about now that President Trump has signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law.

The legislation contains provisions that will affect business planning and operations well into the future, say financial advisors. More than one urged contractors to quickly match strategies and operations with the legislation for a solid future.

“The OBBBA offers significant planning opportunities for construction firms,” accounting firm Kittell Branegan and Sargent (KBS) blogged. see BILL page 25

A map of the Sardis Road detours during connector construction.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has started building the Sardis Road Connector, which the state agency calls “a transformative transportation project aimed at improving mobility in Hall County.”

The project was designed to enhance north-south connectivity in Gainesville between Georgia Highway 53 and Ga. 60 while easing congestion on nearby roadways, the department said July 15, 2025.

GDOT awarded the building contract for the Sardis Road Connector project, worth $57.2 million, to E.R. Snell Contractor LLC in Snellville, Ga. Its crews kicked off the construction at the intersection of Sardis Road and Chestatee Road and will continue building north to Ga. 60 near Mt. Vernon Road, a distance of approximately 3.55 mi. The route follows a combination of existing local roads and newly constructed roadway on a new alignment. see MILITARY page 6

Heavy Equipment Used and Rebuilt Parts

J.E. McAmis Finishing Long-Term Jetty Project Along Columbia River

Among its many projects, MacKay Construction, a heavy civil and utility contractor based in Wilmington, Mass., recently tackled a challenging electrical duct bank trenching project at Boston College.

Gorilla Hydraulic Breakers supplied the attachment and optimized the hydraulics on MacKay’s Cat 340 to run it properly.

The company, now in its 21st season, continues to expand its capabilities by investing in new technology while maintaining a strong focus on service and relationships.

Founded in 2004 by James MacKay, the company has grown steadily from a single pickup, mini-excavator and dump truck to a significant construction company with 55 union employees plus additional union help during peak season. The company also boasts a large and diverse fleet of equipment of all sizes and trucks ranging from crew cabs to tri-axles,

UDOT also will rename 1600 S 2700 N to Dry Creek Parkway to create continuity through the cities.

“North of the new interchange is the interchange at 400 South and Springville, which gets a lot of traffic from the cities of Springville and Mapleton,” said Tryrell Edwards, district engineer for UDOT District 3. “There is no interchange that serves Mapleton very well. The interchange we are building provides more access to I-15, takes pressure off the existing one and connects I-15 to State Route 51.”

Planning for the project began in 2017.

“The new interchange will be close to the U.S. 6 interchange and, in order to make this juncture work, we went through our interchange access request with the Federal Highway Administration and worked with them to develop a three-quarters interchange,” Edwards said. “We have northbound on and off ramps and, southbound, an off-ramp. Traffic that needs to exit southbound will use the U.S. 6 interchange.”

Phase 1 work included the earthwork for the northbound and southbound on-ramps, which eliminated some local frontage roads, utility relocations and the relocation of some of the frontage roads. see INTERCHANGE page 7

Work on the largest rubble mound jetty in the world is coming to a close, ending 10 years of continuous jetty work in Clatsop County, Ore. The South Jetty on the Columbia River, one of three jetties making up the river jetty system, is the last of the three to undergo critical repair work. The $172 million project got under way in 2019, following work on Jetty A and the North Jetty.

“Where are we with that now is we’re nearing completion of a six-year project,” said Colter Bennett, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project engineer. “We’re in the final stretches of the final season. In terms of stone placement, I think we're a month away, but the site still needs major site restoration.”

The South Jetty was originally built starting in 1885 and has undergone repairs 10 times since then, Bennett said.

“This effort is the largest stone quantity that's been put on the jetty in a single project since the original construction.”

By the project’s end, the contractor, J.E. McAmis, of Chico, Calif., will install 450,000 tons of jetty armor stone.

“One way to think of it is that is about 34,000 Volkswagen Beetles,” Bennett said.

“As a result of the jetty’s size, the contractor had to go many different places to find the quantity of rock. The production rate of jetty armor stone is slow, so you have to go to multiple quarries that are producing armor stone at the same time — and producing fast enough — to finish the job on time. They had seven main contributing sources of stone, and all of these sources are in both Oregon and Washington.”

Road Contractors Enjoying Very Busy Summer Working On Conn. Projects The Connecticut Department of Transportation’s online map of roadway projects shows a total of 604 active road improvement and maintenance projects across the state in 2025.

Some of those construction efforts are in the planning phase while others are still being designed. CTDOT noted recently that 179 active projects are being built.

Despite temperatures 90 degrees and above, CTDOT spokesperson Josh Morgan told CT Insider, “It’s a super busy time of year given we only are able to work April-October — maybe a smidge later — because of weather.”

Though all work halted for the Independence Day holi-

day, according to the state agency, most construction restarted on July 7.

CDE Plant Ushers in New Era for 75-Year Old Family Business For almost three quarters of a century, the Duff family has produced and supplied crushed limestone, sand and gravel to all of west-central Ohio.

As the multi-generational family enterprise approaches its landmark 75th year in business, a new CDE wash plant, capable of processing up to 300 tons per hour (tph) of sand and aggregate, has been commissioned at the company’s Lewistown, Ohio, sand and gravel site.

“It’s an investment in the future of the business and in the future of the mineral production industry in the state,” said Ross Duff, president of Duff Sand and Gravel Inc. and vice president of Duff Quarry Inc. “It’s about honoring the history and heritage of our business and continuing that good work, ensuring we’re equipped and resourced to meet future challenges head on, and that we extract and utilize every valuable grain from our deposits. In short, it’s about longevity.”

Ohio On Top In 2023, Ohio was ranked as one of the leading construction sand and gravel producing states, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Of the 920 million tons of sand and gravel produced last year, the top 10 states by production volume accounted for more than 50 percent of the total combined output.

Similarly, USGS data shows Ohio as a top producer of crushed stone. Last year, an estimated 1.5 billion tons were produced. The 10 leading states, which included Ohio, accounted for more than half of the total output (54 percent).

An essential industry to support the continued economic development of the state, the Ohio Aggregates & Industrial Minerals Association (OAIMA), where Duff serves as an active board member, estimates raw mineral production in the state to be valued at more than $1 billion, employing more than 5,000 directly and up to 40,000 indirectly through associated construction activity, transportation and more.

Preferred Supplier Duff Quarry first discovered CDE at ConExpo-Con/AGG in 2020, where the

Since initial commissioning in June last year, the geology and material quality of the limestone deposit at the company’s operation in Huntsville has changed significantly, but Duff said the CDE plant has been able to adjust easily to the new conditions.

washing experts left a lasting impression on the family enterprise.

“We believed technology of this kind was beyond our reach,” Duff said. “It was everything we needed and more. When we left that show, we left with an impression of CDE and its equipment that would stay with us for the next few years. We knew it would be a major investment — one of the largest in the history of the company — but we knew just how impactful it could be.”

It would be another three years before the two companies would meet again at ConExpo-Con/AGG in 2023.

“By then, we were ready to move forward with this project, and CDE was still the preferred supplier all those years later,” said Duff. “That second show just strengthened our resolve to bring this project to life with CDE by our side.” see CDE page 52

Vögele Announces New VR Screed for 8-ft. Road Pavers

10 12 14 16 18 20

During World of Asphalt 2025, Joseph Vögele AG presented the new VR 500 with rear-mounted extensions. It has been redesigned from the ground up and offers paving widths between 8-ft. 4-in. and 20-ft. 12-in.

World Premiere at Word of Asphalt For the first time, Vögele presented a VR 500 screed for the 8-ft. class pavers.

The new VR 500 is equipped with extending units that can be sloped by up to 10 percent and is precisely tailored to the paving requirements of the North American market.

In combination with the SUPER 1700-3i and SUPER 1703-3i pavers, it achieves pave widths of between 8-ft. 4-in. and 20-ft. 12-in. This makes it particularly suitable for the construction of roadways and for medium to large paving jobs. In conjunction with the vibration compaction unit, it achieves optimum smoothness and pre-compaction, according to Vögele.

22 24 26

New Design, New Telescopic Guidance System Vögele has developed the screed from a clean-sheet perspective: It has a low design, is extremely compact and offers an optimum view of the entire auger tunnel. The two-stage telescopic guidance system enables particularly smooth and precise width adjustment. The robust center joint for hydraulic adjustment of the crown also ensures a high level of stability, even with larger pave widths, according to Vögele.

Hydraulically Adjustable End Gate, Infinitely Variable Edge The height of the VR 500’s end gates can be adjusted hydraulically at the touch of a button.

Another feature of the new VR 500 is the adjustable edge which allows the operator to continuously adjust the angle of the edge from 0 degrees to 90 degrees.

Electric Screed Heating The electric screed heating also ensures high paving quality, bringing the VR 500 up to temperature quickly and evenly. All components that come into contact with the material are constantly heated, which ensures a homogeneous surface structure.

The additional heating integrated into the leading edge of the screed plate prevents buildup and results in a superior finish texture. In addition, smart generator management reduces energy requirements and fuel consumption during operation, according to Vögele.

Great Operator Convenience The new VR 500 is precisely tailored to the needs of users. The ErgoPlus 3 operating concept provides a clear layout of all functions and symbols. Operators can define, view and change all relevant paving parameters, including the Niveltronic plus system for automated grade and slope control, at the screed operating consoles.

The screed width be conveniently adjusted with the SmartWheel. In addition to the screed control consoles, Vögele provide users with two remote control units featuring practical magnetic mountings, so they can operate the key screed functions from the optimal location at all times, according to Vögele.

Boss Snowplow photo

Founded in 1985 in Iron Mountain, Mich., BOSS began with a snowplow design aimed at meeting the rigorous demands of commercial snow removal experts. Over the past 40 years, the company has consistently introduced new solutions.

Marking four decades in the snow and ice management industry, BOSS Snowplow announced the release of four new products: Cold Front technology, SL4 LED headlights, the SmartTouch+ universal controller and TEV. “Cold Front technology, SL4 LED headlights and SmartTouch+ represent the next generation of innovation in snow and ice control, delivering smarter, more connected tools that maximize efficiency, visibility and control,” said Jody Christy, vice president of BOSS Snowplow. “By adopting this technology now, contractors and fleet managers are adding technology that builds confidence, adds efficiencies and elevates their fleet’s performance at the highest level for years to come.”

Introducing 2025-26 Product Lineup • Cold Front technology: This electrical system simplifies snowplow and spreader wiring, streamlines vehicle integration and eliminates the traditional 13pin plug. By combining power, ground and control wires into a single connector,

Cold Front technology simplifies installation and boosts performance across select BOSS plow models, according to BOSS. Note: Cold Front technology is not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.

• SL4 LED headlights: These headlights offer brightness and visibility, featuring ClearBeam technology that provides more than 200 degrees of vision, expanding the operator’s

field of view. Integrated turn signals, parking, warning and accent lights ensure comprehensive safety and visibility from all angles, according to BOSS. Note: SL4 LED headlights are not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.

• SmartTouch+ universal controller: The SmartTouch+ controller offers instant responsiveness and universal compatibility with all BOSS Cold Front technology plows. Its modern, intuitive interface allows operators to seamlessly control plow functions and SL4 headlights, enhancing both efficiency and customization, according to BOSS. Note: SL4 LED headlights are not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.

• TEV: BOSS Snowplow’s first TripEdge V-Plow, designed to prevent damage to both the plow and vehicle when striking low profile obstacles. The design maximizes the capabilities of equipment, improving traction and maneuverability in snow and ice. TEV will be the first product that will have both the new SL4 headlights and Cold Front Technology, according to BOSS. These products will be standard on models including the DXT, XT, TEV and Super Duty (excluding the 10-ft. HD DXT) for the 2025-26 season.

Planners at the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) keep their eyes on trouble spots: congestion, bottlenecks and high-crash areas. I-81, on the western edge of the state, is high on the watch list.

This important 325-mi. corridor traverses a rugged mountainous area and connects cities like Winchester, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Roanoke and Bristol. Visitors to Shenandoah National Park and Virginia Tech also are frequent travelers on I-81. Nearly one-fourth of the traffic is trucks, so the highway is an important commercial artery, as well.

The I-81 Corridor Improvement Program helps VDOT keep the highway in focus. The state passed a regional fuels tax in 2019, which provides the necessary resources for improvements to this vital roadway.

VDOT’s Salem District has identified a section of the interstate between exits 137 and 141 see WIDENING page 22

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are more commonplace tools on the job site as they are growing more sophisticated in technology and application.

UAVs have proven to be a critical tool over the past couple of years in assessing site conditions before and during construction. After the project is completed, these devices are valued for monitoring pavement and structural conditions. Savings, safety, mobility and reliability are
