Growth Spurs SDDOT’s Sioux Falls Project

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

A$34.3 million reconstruction project on Benson Road and the Interstate 229 interchange is unfolding in Sioux Falls, S.D. The undertaking, a combined effort by the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) and the city of Sioux Falls, includes construction of a diverging diamond interchange (DDI), structure development work and road widening.

“The northeast side of Sioux Falls continues to experience commercial and residential growth,” said Steve Neumeister, SDDOT project engineer. “Newdevelopmentisbeginningonthe eastsideofInterstate229andtheinterchange. Arterial improvements will better accommodate future and projected traffic volumes for all movements at the interchange.”

Construction Workforce Demands May Outstrip Quality Labor Pool

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Thegoodnews:TheBidenadministration’sInflation Reduction Act (IRA) is infusing the transportation and energyconstructionsectorswithhundredsofbillionsof dollars. The not-so-good news: the lack of well-prepared workers is almost as great as the lack of workers, period. Combine the two and the result is a potentially insurmountable challenge for the transportation construction industry.

see LABOR page 95

The AGC believes it’s time for the United States to rethink its approach to educating and preparing workers for careers in construction.

Explosives Drop Steel Trestle Missouri River Bridge

ROCHEPORT, Mo. (AP)

Onlookers online and on the banks of the Missouri River had to wait more than an hour to watch officials use explosives to drop a historic steel trestle bridge that for years carried cars acrossthewaterwayalongInterstate70 into the river below.

The blast just southeast of Rocheport, Mo., which is about 115 mi.eastofKansasCity,wasdelayedby fog on Sept. 10. The demolition that was scheduled for 7:30 a.m. finally happenedshortlybefore9a.m.afterthe view was clear.

A small crowd of onlookers gathered along the banks of the river to watch the destruction with some of their heads temporarily blocking the livestream the Missouri Department of Transportation operated. Many others logged on from across the country to watch online. The feed switched to a wide shot that showed the entire bridge before the explosives were triggered.

The state said crews worked to remove the roughly 1,100-ft.-long bridgefromtheriverwithin24hoursto clear the channel for boat and barge traffic.

Cars along Interstate 70 were alreadyreroutedontoanewwestbound bridge earlier this summer, although the busy highway was temporarily blocked off during the demolition. A new $220 million bridge is scheduled to be completed by December 2024.

Sanco Brings XCMG Lineup to Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin

By Katherine Petrik CEG EDITORIALASSISTANT

Sanco Equipment Company announced it is now carrying XCMG excavators, wheel loaders and compaction rollers with plans to add new offerings as the company grows. Sanco has locations in Mankato, Albert Lea and Rochester, Minn., as well as one store in Mason City, Iowa. Sanco’s territory runs from central Minnesota, including Mille Lacs County, and runs south into Iowa just southofMasonCitytoButlerCounty.Italso covers parts of Wisconsin.

“We are extremely excited about bringing XCMG to our dealerships and into our market,” said Brian Santarsiero, president and CEO of Sanco Enterprises. “The brand is a very large player in the global market; however, they are just getting started in the United States and we feel it couldn’t be a better fit for us with our growth strategy into additional locations and large construction equipment.”

XCMG is the third largest equipment manufacturer in the world. The addition of this line will bring Sanco Equipment new sales, leasing and rental opportunities with larger contractors, municipalities and industrial contractors.

“XCMG NorthAmerica is proud to grow our footprint with the addition of Sanco Equipment as our dealer in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin,” said John Bostwick, XCMG regional sales manager, North America. “Sanco Equipment — a familyowned business — has been growing in Minnesota since the 1950s and recognizes the value of providing quality machines and excellentservicetothecompaniestheywork with every day. XCMG, number three in construction machinery in the world, shares these values with our new dealer and we are excited to grow together with Sanco Equipment.”

To support XCMG, Sanco has hired addi-

tional field technicians and has plans to add salesstaff,rentalstaff,techniciansanddelivery drivers. The dealer also has been conducting sales, service and parts training to familiarize its team with the new brand.

“XCMG uses quality components including Cummins, Kubota, Yanmar engines and pumps from Rexroth, Danfoss and Kawasaki for smooth and quiet performance,” said Bostwick. “We look forward to bringingqualityXCMGexcavators,loaders, rollers,graders,boomlifts,cranes,directional drills and more to market in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin and helping build and grow our communities. Please reach out to Sanco when searching for heavy equipment and check out the newest option for your fleet.”

XCMG was founded in 1943 and now offers its product line in 190 countries.

“XCMG’s line of equipment is a great addition and complement to our existing lines of manufacturers,” said Joe Graham, sales and rental manager, Sanco Equipment.

“Bobcat has been and continues to be an

incredible line for us. As our customers and theirprojectsgrowitisonlynaturalthatthey willneedlargerandmorediverseequipment offerings to support their projects. These new product offerings from XCMG also align perfectly with many of our other cur-

rent attachment manufacturers that we currently sell. Many of these attachment manufacturers offer many products and attachmentsthatperfectlycomplementtheXCMG line and aid in the overall usefulness and workability of the products.”

Sanco Equipment Co. celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The equipment division was founded in 2003 when the family purchased an existing Bobcat dealership in Albert Lea, Minn. In addition to XCMB, Sanco also carries Bobcat, JLG, Diamond Mowers, B&B Trailers, Kage, Virnig, Muskox, Haugen and Paladin.

“With the support of our entire team at Sanco Equipment and partnership with a great manufacturer it just makes sense,” said Santarsiero. “This product line will enhance and round out our equipment offerings we currently have to support our customer’s needs while providing growth, stability and growing career paths to our current and future employees.”

Wirtgen Cold Milling Machine Performs in Narrow Spaces

Wirtgen’shigh-performanceW150F(i)roundsoffthetop end of the compact milling machine class.

With a milling width of 6 ft., this model is an ideal choice for use on major construction sites with restricted space, for example in inner city locations. Compact dimensions and optimized machine weight for easy transportation means these machines are predestined for a multitude of different construction site scenarios. In combination with the intuitive operating design, digital assistance systems and the LEVEL PRO ACTIVE leveling system allow for efficient one-man operation.

Environmentally-Friendly Engine Technology From John Deere

The agile front loader with a standard working width of 5 ft. features the latest and currently most eco-friendly engine technology compliant with EU Stage 5 / U.S. Tier IV Final exhaust emission standards. The 9-liter John Deere engine offersamaximumratedoutputof315kWandhasbeenspeciallyadaptedtomeetthespecialneedsofcoldmillingapplications. It’s impressive with its high torque and simultaneously low noise emissions under all load conditions.

The machine’s fuel consumption also is significantly lower,evenwhendeliveringthehighestmillingperformance and milling to a maximum working depth of 330 mm, the manufacturer said.

Digital Assistance, Leveling Systems

MillAssist, Wirtgen Performance Tracker (WPT) and the leveling system LEVELPROACTIVE assist operating personnel and increase milling efficiency. These systems have already provided clear proof of their potential in the other Fseries cold milling machines.

In the case of the W 150 F(i), the largest milling machine in the compact class, users also benefit from higher milling performance, increased efficiency and, due to an automatically-generated construction site report, clearly structured documentation of all site-relevant data.

Mill Assist for Increased Milling Efficiency

In automatic mode, MillAssist selects the operating strategy with the most favorable balance between milling performanceandoperatingcosts.Thisincreasesthemillingperformance while simultaneously reducing diesel fuel and water consumption, pick wear and CO2 emissions.

MillAssist controls engine speed automatically according to the needs of the operator. The wide range of possible engine speeds means that the machine’s uses are equally broad.Thelowerspeedrangeenablesasignificantreduction ofdieselfuelconsumptionandpickwear.Intheupperspeed range, an optimum milling pattern can be achieved even at

higher area performance rates.

The operator can also select one of three performance strategies.Theseare:“ECO”,“performance-optimized”,and “milling pattern quality.” This makes it possible, for example, to pre-define the required milling pattern quality incrementally from coarse to very fine at the press of a button.

Precise Leveling With LEVEL PRO ACTIVE

TheLEVELPROACTIVElevelingsystemisinstalledas a standard feature of the W 150 F(i). Developed by Wirtgen especially for cold milling machines, the leveling system features an intuitive operating design and ensures precise milling results.

With front-to-rear weight distribution optimized for stability in tough cuts, standard electronically controlled all-wheel drive maximizes traction and mobility for the new RM600 and RM800.

Expanding the product line, the new Cat RM600 and RM800 reclaimer/stabilizers offer the power, performance and productivity needed to efficiently complete full-depth reclamation and soil stabilization projects.

These versatile machines compete at the high end of the reclaimer/stabilizer size class with an all-new adjustable height design capable of cross-slope cutting, the manufacturer said.

Their powerful turbocharged Cat C18 engine gives the RM600 up to 17 percent more power than the RM500B. The RM800 delivers up to 42 percent more power than the RM500B and up to 23 percent more power than the RM600.

These reclaimer/stabilizer models adopt key rotor system components from Cat cold planers for dependable cutting and mixing. Featuring a belt driven rotor drive system, the machine is capable of flush-cutting on the right side.

The new System K rotor uses the same cold planer fastener-free, dual-taper toolholder and base block components to deliver superior material quality on a range of projects. Exit and return-to-cut features simplify operation, save time and ensure the machine maintains a consistent depth of cut.

Efficient Power, High Mix Quality

Two configurations are available for the Cat C18 engine to meet regional emissions requirements. Its robust cooling system uses cool air intake to maximize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Allowing the system to cool more efficiently to extend cleaning and maintenance intervals, automatic cooling fans periodically cycle in reverse to clean the heat exchangers.

A single Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors engine performance and provides diagnostics to the operator. With front-to-rear weight distribution optimized for stability in tough cuts, standard electronically controlled all-wheel drive maximizes traction and mobility for the new RM600 and RM800. Four height adjustable legs provide up to + or12.5 percent (8 degrees) of slope on either side when work-

ing on uneven terrain or to maintain traction in challenging soil stabilization applications.

Two high-tensile, six-rib belts with automatic tensioning prevent slippage, while the rotor drive features a hydraulically actuated, heavy-duty clutch that does not require adjustment. Abrasion-resistant, high-strength alloys of the System K rotor can withstand tough, high-power applications, and the cutting tools are strategically placed to deliver ideal material sizing and homogeneous mixing results.

The versatile rotor can be configured with bolt-on paddle toolholder protection for full-depth reclamation applications or wedge protection to reduce drag for soil stabilization.

The new models offer the power and performance to efficiently cut 96 in. wide at up to 20 in. deep. Advanced electronic controls plus automatic load control maintain rotor mixing depth and optimum machine speed to deliver ideal mix quality.

Adjusting the front and rear mixing chamber doors enables instant modification of material gradation, and an easy-to-read indicator on the touchscreen display informs the operator of door positions. A rear rotor chamber door float feature simplifies operation by allowing the operator to select the desired down pressure. RM600 and RM800 also offer bi-directional cutting capability.

Increased Versatility

Wheel positioning at the corners lends to a highly maneuverable reclaimer/stabilizer design. The machines can navigate an incredibly small 10.1-ft. inside turning radius. Four steering modes — front only, rear only, crab and coordinated — further improve on-site maneuverability. Offering up to + or - 12.5 percent (8 degrees) of slope on either side when working on uneven terrain or to maintain traction in challenging soil stabilization applications, the four-post, adjustable-height design improves stability and cutting precision.

Reclamation, Stabilization Projects

Water and emulsion spray systems are available for the new machines, and the emulsion system features self-cleaning nozzles and is designed to deliver water as well as bitumen emulsion. Computerized metering delivers accurate application rates with variable flow rates of 8 to 500 gal/min. for water and 8 to 225 gal/min. for emulsion to meet site needs. The operator controls additive flow and customizes spray width from inside the cab.

Simple, Comfortable Operation

Inspired by the RM400 design, controls are grouped by function for quick and easy access. A small handwheel provides precise steering, while the operator easily matches machine speed and functions to gradation specification via the large, 10 in. color touchscreen displays and pushbutton controls.

Hydraulically sliding side-to-side, the cab is easily positioned to enhance visibility to the front and sides of the machine. Floor-to-ceiling glass and an angle pane on the right-hand side provide a clear view to the work ahead and the leading edge of the cutting chamber.

The cab’s fully pressurized design with air conditioning and heater/defroster provides a comfortable environment for the operator while keeping noise, dust and the elements out.

Standard and optional cameras augment performance and safety for the new RM600 and RM800. Enhancing fore and aft visibility, standard front- and rear-mounted cameras provide configurable guidelines on the touchscreen display.Two standard cameras mounted above the front and rear mixing chamber doors give operators visibility to obstructions and material gradation. Optional side-mount cameras provide

views to each side of the machine.

Reduced Maintenance

Long service intervals reduce owning and operating costs for the RM600 and RM800. Engine oil service intervals occur every 500 operating hours. Provided recommended sampling schedules are followed, hydraulic oil service and coolant replacement intervals are extended to 6,000 and 12,000 hours respectively. Accessing maintenance points is easy with daily checkpoints centrally located on a secure platform.

The standard compressed air system can power pneumatic tools and offers two access points to reduce the time for rotor bit changes. Service mode allows the engine to run while the machine is locked out, supplying compressed air so the rotor can be safely serviced. Side service doors provide quick access to inspect or change end ring bits without reaching inside the rotor chamber. Further simplifying rotor maintenance, the rotor can be hydraulically powered to turn in either direction using a control pendant.

The new models feature built-in diagnostics to monitor machine systems, alert the operator of performance issues and simplify troubleshooting. Standard Product Link provides critical machine condition, operating and location data and enables the use of Cat Remote Services. Dealers can virtually diagnose machine issues prior to dispatching a technician using Remote Troubleshoot, helping to ensure the right tools and parts are available to perform repairs. Remote Flash makes sure the machine is working with the latest software, updated at a time convenient to the production schedule.

First Oscillating Soil Compactor Rolls Off Sakai’s Ga. Line

Sakai America Inc. has just completed the first production unit of the new SV414ND model with user-selectable oscillation and vibration, which saves the need for separate machines. Prior to this, contractors have had only one brand from which to source oscillating soil compactors.

“This is a product we have been testing in the field for quite some time and are excited to finally launch,” said Brad Belvin, manager, sales and marketing. “We’ve had tremendous success with our asphalt ND line and heard no shortage of contractor requests to bring similar selectable oscillation/vibration drums to the soil side of the business.”

Oscillating soil compactors are typically used in regulated no-vibe areas due to soil type and in situations where compaction must be achieved but with reduction in felt vibrations, noise and damage to nearby structures. The SV414ND is now available to order from all Sakai U.S. and Canadian dealers.

About Sakai SV414ND

Like other “ND” designated models from Sakai, the SV414ND features oscillation and vibration capability in the same drum. Sakai oscillation is uniquely gear-driven, as opposed to belt-driven, saving equipment managers the time, hassle and expense of belt servicing, the manufacturer said.

The SV414ND is an 8-ton class 67 in. soil roller powered by a Cummins QSF 2.8 with 74 hp and is built in Adairsville, Ga.

Parts Company Supplies Morooka Carriers to 150 Dealers in U.S., Canada

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

In recent years, the demand among contractors for more compact construction equipment has increased dramatically in the United States, with no signs of slowing down.

As part of that market expansion, builders and machine operators also have discovered how well a line of smaller, more maneuverable rubber-track carriers can bring more efficiency to their job sites, while also combining better traction with a high load capacity.

One of the trailblazers in bringing these types of versatile equipment to market in North America is Morooka USA, a master distributor of Japan’s Morooka Co Ltd. The U.S. distributor, based in Ashland, Va., just north of Richmond, supplies its versatile machines to approximately 150 dealers across the United States and Canada.

A related company, Morooka America LLC, owned by the Japanese conglomerate, serves as the exclusiveAmerican manufacturing plant for the rubber-track carriers, and also is located in Ashland. The more than 80,000-sq.-ft. factory makes 16 Morooka products, including various-sized utility machines and rotators, as well as rubber-track carriers with HST hydraulic systems. The facility builds approximately 300 machines a year.

Morooka Finds Perfect American Partners

After Morooka had imported its machines to United States for many years, by the early 2000s, its Japanese leadership realized that distribution efforts in America were not performing to the level that they had hoped.

At the same time, a pair of brothers, Ronnie and Kenneth Byrd, were running Wakita Distribution, a construction equipment parts warehouse started in 1998 in the Richmond area.

“When we were operating Wakita, we found a niche in supplying used Yanmar equipment parts to the U.S. market,

and that led us to Morooka,” said Ken Byrd. “At that time, most machines in the country were imported from Japan used, so there was an almost immediate need for parts for that equipment. Morooka was aware of our success with Yanmar, so they asked us to distribute their products here in the U.S. as a master distributor and we signed an agreement with the company in 2003.”

In the early days of the collaboration with Morooka, Ken Byrd, now president of Morooka USA, said they slowly built the dealership network from scratch.

“It was a clean slate for us to develop the U.S market because we had no dealers in the beginning,” he said. “Between 2005 and 2009, we had the territory east of the Mississippi River and Morooka controlled everything to the west through its Portland, Ore., office.”

After Morooka Japan had reached the point where it was confident in the Byrds’ ability to build a dealer network, the overseas equipment manufacturer struck another deal with the Virginia-based company to build product close to Morooka USA’s operations. The Japanese conglomerate later decided to run the Morooka America factory itself in 2019.

Product Lines Built to Be Adaptable

During its early years as a distributor, Ken and his partners, Ronnie Byrd and Yoshi Tanaka, learned that the pipeline industry could be an excellent market for Morooka products, leading them to target and obtain their first dealers and customers from pipeline installation companies in the South.

Morooka carriers also are easily adaptable to multiple segments of the construction industry beyond pipeline work. Its machines can add cabs to the trailers, attach different rigs to the beds, or remove the beds entirely to suit any type of project.

Early on, Byrd said, Morooka USAexclusively represent-

DA45-5Articulated Dump Truck Offers Enhanced Power

The DEVELON DA45-5 articulated dump truck (ADT) offers power, technology, comfort and larger payload capacity. The 45-ton ADT helps customers who regularly operate on large construction sites, in quarries or in mining operations.

Payload Measuring System

The DA45-5 comes standard with an active payload measuring system for increased productivity and reduced cycle times. The system provides ADT operators with improved truck management and load optimization by helping to protect against extensive overloading. Operators can view each load’s weight on the LCD screen in the cab.

Driveline Updates

Customers can count on better weight distribution for extreme performance and traction in off-road conditions. Unique design features — such as the tandem housing — set the trucks apart from those of otherADT manufacturers. The DA45-5 has a front-mounted turning ring, sloping rear frame and free-swinging rear tandem bogie to ensure permanent 6wheel ground contact. The limited slip differential delivers the highest torque to the wheel, offering the best traction.

Self-Leveling Front Suspension

The hydro-gas, self-leveling front suspension system of the DA45-5 provides superior performance and greater shock absorption — which means a smoother ride and improved operator comfort especially when the machine is empty. The system includes a self-leveling feature and the

ability to change characteristics by adjusting the pressure. When it’s time to head out to another job, the machine’s less-than-12-ft. width makes it easier to transport from site to site.

Easy Serviceability, Maintenance

Key service and maintenance points, including groundlevel fuel and DEF fill, more accessible power module and a centralized maintenance panel, make required daily service checks and maintenance procedures more convenient for customers.

Common oil is used in the DA45-5 wheel hubs, tandem rear bogie and limited slip differential, and grease distribution is improved to reduce grease requirements. A dieselpowered engine heater and fuel pump are available as options. The DA45-5 articulated dump truck includes telem atics for monitoring the machine’s health, location and productivity for the life of the machine.

Interior Cab Comfort

The DA45-5 cab interior provides better ergonomics and more operator comfort, according to the manufacturer. Cab comfort features include fully automatic climate control, an air suspension seat, precise steering, enhanced visibility and low noise levels. Ergonomic con trols are at your fingertips and a soft-touch dashboard is eas ier to keep clean.

The vehicle control unit includes robust hardware, a faster processor and more input channels. The monitor displays critical information, including speed, engine rpm, machine

warnings and more — and offers bigger gauges, user-friendly graphics and the ability to display multiple camera views. Standard features include electrically adjustable mirrors and a mobile USB charger.

DA45-5 Articulated Dump Truck Specs

• Horsepower: 500 hp (373 kW) @ 2,100 rpm

• Payload rating: 90,390 lb. (41,000 kg)

• Heaped capacity: 31.9 cu. yd. (24.4 cu m)

Small Business Grows to Become Master DistributorforMorooka’sCompactLineup

ed Morooka’s dump carrier line, with the flatbed being the only option available to customers.

“Along the way there would be the occasional contractor who wanted to do something different with our standard machine and as long as he could mount it to a flatbed or to the back of a machine on its own platform, he could do what he wanted with his Morooka,” he said. “Our early successes at offering products that could be more versatile came about when the pipeline industry began adapting our traditional flatbeds to mount small core drilling, sandblast and welding rigs for on-site use.

“Later, in 2012, we saw a real need to make our machines more customizable when we wanted to become a player in the utility industry,” he added. “The various OEMs that we do business with today were frustrated at that time with the carrier makers that would only offer one machine, one size and one style. We took a different approach to that and, rather than say, ‘We have one machine; it has to fit your need,’ we decided to work with these manufacturers by building custom frames and mounting options to fit what they needed. I think some of our competitors are now following our lead and trying to do the same thing.”

Now, Byrd said, Morooka products are excellent rental machines for their dealers, adding “the return on investment from the dealers’perspective has been they are about the best in their fleets, making them a very attractive addition to their equipment lineup.”

Machines Designed to Work in Challenging Environments

The middle of the Morooka product line, according to Byrd, has the maker’s current best-selling models, with carrying capacities of between 24,000 lbs. to 35,000 lbs. — what he calls “the strength of our entire line.” Among that group are the Morooka MST-1500VD rubber-track and utility carriers, and the MST-2200VD rubber-track model, all made in the Virginia facility, and noted for offering low ground pressure and perfect for working off-road in more boggy areas.

“Their undercarriages use a floating bogie system that distributes the weight of the load across the entire track and the total ground pressure,” he said.

The manufacturer also builds a rotator model, the Morooka MST-700VDR, a cutting-edge rotating dump carrier built with reliability and durability in mind. The machine has proven to be ideal for transporting loads across rough terrain and challenging environments.

Additionally, the MST-700VDR features a powerful rotating system that allows the operator to easily maneuver in tight spaces.

“The top structure rotates 360 degrees independently from the tracks so you can pull into a spot, turn the top around, dump your load, and drive out without moving the tracks and disturbing the ground further,” said Ken Byrd’s son, David, Morooka USA’s marketing manager, who also handles social media and trade show logistics for the company.

“And the MST-700VDR does provide another level of safety on the job site because the operator never has to back up,” Ken Byrd added. “We were among the first manufacturers of track carriers to put cameras in them to help the operators see what they were doing.”

New Compact Carrier Being Developed

Soon, Morooka will be bringing an exciting new machine to market that David Byrd described as one that its dealers and customers have been requesting. A prototype of the new model was unveiled earlier this year at ConExpo in Las Vegas.

“The MHS1300 High Speed compact carrier has a twoman cab that customers have been asking about and wanting for years,” he said. “It also travels more than twice as fast as your standard Morooka with a top speed of about 17 mph, as opposed to 7 mph.”

The advantage of a higher speed on a rubber track carrier is simple: the ability to traverse big job sites more quickly.

“When you get out there in one of these machines and you have a mile or two to cover on a big flat job site, it gets tiring doing that repeatedly,” David Byrd added. “If, on the other hand, you can do that job two-and-a-half times quicker, you are going to be much more efficient.”

The diesel MHS1300, with a Cat-built engine, will offer a relatively small payload of about 4,000 lbs., but the simplicity of what it will be asked to do — and in a more rapid amount of time — should make it attractive to buyers and renters.

“The nice thing about Morooka is that its machines are simple,” said Ken Byrd. “They have diesel engines made by two manufacturers, Kubota, and Cat, for our U.S. models, plus they have hydraulics and undercarriages, so there is nothing unique about them from a service standpoint.”

Building Machines Stateside Speeds Delivery to Customers

Building in United States Gets Marooka to Customers Quicker

The need to build Morooka carriers in the United States, rather than relying on imports from Japan, he said, was to have enough available inventory on hand for the North American market, particularly as the demand for compact equipment shows no signs of diminishing.

“Another advantage to having Morooka products built here rather than in Japan is that it gets them into the U.S. and Canadian dealerships more quickly,” he said. “It takes about two weeks to build a Morooka, but if it comes from Asia, it ends up spending 30 days at sea, and the shipping cost is higher.”

David Byrd added, “Building the equipment here is also what has allowed us to dive so deeply into the utility market. We have been able to work closely with the OEMs to make changes on the fly when it comes to customization and getting it exactly right for whatever attachments are going on the back of our products.”

Key Contributors to Morooka USA’s Success

The success the Byrd family has enjoyed over the past 25 years in growing from a small parts distribution outfit into a master distributor for a Japanese equipment manufacturer, complete with an expansive North American dealership base and a Virginia factory, is due in large measure to two other

people, as well.

“My other brother, Ronnie, is the managing member of the holding company that owns Morooka USA and Morooka Rents, a small rental outfit that supplies product to our dealers for re-rents whenever either their fleets are maxed out or they do not have a specific size available. He is actively involved in that business,” Ken Byrd said.

“Ronnie is the reason that we have any of the relationships we have with Japan. In the 1980s, he began going over there to bring in used equipment for refurbishing and resale through either an auction or dealer network in the U.S. He also had strong ties with many Japanese companies and had connections to both Morooka and Hitachi.”

In addition, a third partner to Ken and Ronnie Byrd is Yoshi Tanaka, an American citizen born in Kyoto, Japan, who came to this country when he was 20 years old.

“He is now in his seventies, but he is vital to Morooka USA because he knows the business acumen and culture of Japan,” Ken Byrd said. “He was able to make introductions and often lead us onto the correct path in many of the negotiations we had with several Japanese companies over the years, including Morooka. Mr. Tanaka has been an important part of the operations here behind the scenes and key to our discussions and open lines of communication with Morooka Japan.”

Sustainability Strategy Integral Is to Design, Construction at Rokbak

At the heart of its sustainability strategy, Rokbak has implemented a set of ambitious goals in operating measures and articulated hauler design and construction. These underscore a determination to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable practices — all of which benefit the company’s valued customers.

A commitment to minimizing its ecological footprint has seen the sustainability goals of Scottish articulated hauler manufacturer Rokbak showcase a dedication to environmental stewardship in the heavy machinery industry.

“A lot of work has gone into our sustainability drive over the years,” said Charlie Urquhart, Rokbak product manager. “Rokbak’s heritage, knowledge and resources mean that we’re constantly developing and looking to improve the trucks and the way we operate, in a manner that benefits our customers.”

As part of the Volvo Group, Rokbak is aligned to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Specific aims include a 30 percent reduction in CO₂ by 2030, a 50 percent factory operations emission reduction by the same year and becoming net-zero by 2040. These incentives have influenced the design of Rokbak trucks, the daily operation of the Rokbak Motherwell factory and a strict adherence to the Rokbak sustainability roadmap.

Reducing impact on the environment has seen Rokbak employ strategies stemming from fuel consumption analysis, examining alternative fuels, extending maintenance cycles and lessening maintenance consumables. Furthermore, this research and development in sustainability has led to the reduction of total cost of ownership (TCO) for Rokbak customers.

Low Waste, Low Cost, High Performance

Fuel consumption is the biggest cost of operating a machine and the Rokbak RA30 and RA40 EU Stage V engines produce a fuel consumption saving of up to 7 percent, when compared to the previous EU Stage IV engines. This means lower operating costs and, fundamentally, less impact on the environment.

Rokbak’s articulated haulers both have lean burning engines and a confirmed low-fuel consumption. The RA40 has a class-leading transmission fluid change interval of 6,000 hours; the RA30 offers an impressive 4,000 hours.

Both the RA30 and RA40 are compatible with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a fuel that allows customers a “quick-hit” on their individual net-zero targets. HVO, also referred to as “Renewable Diesel” or “Green Diesel”, is a paraffinic bio-based diesel fuel originating from animal fats or multiple vegetable oils (waste cooking oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, etc).

HVO fuel has chemical and physical properties like those of diesel fuel, however, its fossil-free composition and low carbon content differentiate it from diesel and make it attractive to those seeking a sustainable fuel option. It is a modern way to produce high-quality bio-based diesel fuels without compromising fuel logistics, engines, exhaust aftertreatment devices, or exhaust emissions. HVO can provide up to a 90 percent reduction in CO₂emissions on a well-to-wheel analysis.

Extensive periods between scheduled maintenance, with infrequent parts and fluid changes, mean less material going to landfill. Maintenance and fault alerts allow customers to keep on top of the truck and be informed of the machine’s next required servicing. Instigating the ordering of parts in advance and getting the labor in place increases operational efficiency, not only improving sustainability measures but also reducing TCO, the manufacturer said.

“When the customer buys a Rokbak hauler, they are acquiring a hauler that has been developed with sustainability in mind,” said Urquhart. “It is a hauler that has been manufactured on a site powered by green energy and redirects waste away from landfill.”

Collective Effort

Today, the Rokbak factory is completely powered by sustainable sources. Working toward accreditation on a zerowaste-to-landfill policy, 95 percent of generated waste is now diverted away from landfill.

Rokbak’s sustainability initiatives resonate with employees from the factory to the management team and the company’s dealers and customers. Everyone from the factory floor to the head office has an eye on energy reduction. Internal trackers inform Rokbak employees how much energy has been used in comparison to the previous week and “green champions” are recruited from throughout the business to promote sustainable practices in their respective work areas.

“It’s to make sure everyone’s doing their bit,” said Urquhart. “Whether you’re monitoring power tools usage or remembering to switch off the lights and air conditioning, you’re part of a united drive.”

Rokbak’s sustainability goals and incentives exemplify how we can address environmental challenges within the heavy machinery industry. Rokbak demonstrates the potential for sustainable manufacturing while reaping a host of benefits and stands as an example of how other movers in the manufacturing industry can drive positive change while securing individual success.

“We are creating significant steppingstones towards a sustainable future,” said Urquhart. “And this not only results in less waste being generated, but also benefits the Rokbak customer’s wallet.”

SDDOT Reconstructs I-229 Interchange in Sioux Falls

NeumeisternotedtheBensonRoadinterchangehasexperienced increased traffic usage over time.

“An additional left turn lane was added approximately 10 yearsago.Thisinterchangehasnowreachedtrafficcapacity, warranting a new interchange featuring three left turn lanes on the Interstate 229 northbound off-ramp.”

West of I-229, Benson Road will be widened to three lanes in each direction, with turn lanes and a raised median. East of I-229, Benson Road will be widened to two lanes in each direction with turn lanes, and a raised median. Additional improvements to Benson Road include concrete pavement; new bridge installation and existing bridge deck rehabilitation; water main, sanitary sewer repairs and installation; storm drainage improvements; streetlight and traffic signal improvements; new accessible curb ramps; and con-

crete curb and gutter.

Neumeister said creating a DDI will keep crews busy, as work on the project progresses.

“ADDIisatypeofinterstateinterchangewheremotorists entering/exitingtheinterstatecrosstotheoppositesideofthe roadastheygothroughtheinterchange.Thisallowsforcontinuous movements onto the Interstate ramps. Signalized high volume left-turn movements, which are a typical challenge for a standard diamond interchange, are optimized with a DDI.

“DDIs have been shown to increase capacity and safety, reduce congestion and minimize the cost of new infrastructure. Advantages include improved safety by reducing the number of ways vehicles can collide; increased capacity by eliminating the left turn signal; and allowing traffic to flow moreefficientlythroughtheinterchange,reduceddelaysand

congestion and meeting the needs of all users, including motorists, large trucks, pedestrians and bicyclists.

According to Neumeister, beneficiaries will include the residents of Sioux Falls, the business district adjacent to the interchange and all members of the public traveling through the Interstate 229 corridor to and through Sioux Falls. The newDDIwillsimplybetterservemotoriststravelinginthearea.

“Byallowingfreeleft-handturnmovements,aturningcar does not have to stop or yield to oncoming traffic before turning onto an Interstate ramp. The DDI will help improve safety, reduce current intersection delay and address future travel needs and growth. A DDI configuration was chosen based on a number of criteria, including the ability to handle current and future traffic demands, constructability, environmental concerns, landowner impacts and public input.”

see SDDOT page 96

The undertaking, a combined effort by the SDDOT and the city of Sioux Falls, includes construction of a diverging diamond interchange, structure development work and road widening.

Bridge work continues over I-229, along with watermain, sanitary sewer and storm drainage pipe installation west of I-229.

The reconstruction project on Benson Road is scheduled to be finished by November 2024. The overall completion date is June 2025.

New Holland C314 Mini-Track Loader NowAvailable in NA

New Holland Construction has announced the commercial availability of its pioneering C314 mini track loader. Tailored to meet the demands of landscape and general contractors across NorthAmerica, the innovative lightweight stand-on machine is purpose-built for maneuverability across diverse job sites and is capable of seamlessly handling an extensive list of tasks, including loading, dumping and drilling.

“The C314 mini track loader was constructed to effectively address the diverse requirements of today’s contractors,” said Doran Herritt, product manager of New Holland Construction North America. “Given the indispensable role of smaller profiled equipment in the landscaping sector, having this machine included in one’s toolbox is paramount to help them address the specific requirements each job site has.”

Versatility Redefined: Mastering Diverse Projects With One Machine

Powered by a 25-hp engine, the C314 mini track loader allows operators to adapt to the unique demands of each project. Its utility spans a wide spectrum of jobs, from intricately paving patios and walkways to managing vegetation debris, as well as tackling light-duty construction projects like erecting foundations and decks.

Whatever the job or task, the C314 mini track loader is up for it. The machine is compatible with New Holland Construction’s suite of 29 attachments due to its auxiliary flow rate of 15 gallons per minute. Its common industry interface and 14-pin electric multifunction control provide

hook-up versatility with new and older attachments, including augers, trenchers, grapple buckets, rakes and more. With an appropriate rated operating capacity of 1,000-lbs.

(at 35 percent of tipping load) and 35 in. of working space, operators can efficiently tackle mild structural projects. These encompass tasks like laying footings for modest structures, handling fence line work and executing irrigation or drainage projects. This loader also boasts an optimal dump height of 20.1 in. for seamless loading.

Next-Level Control: Distinctive Ergonomics, Operator Positioning

One of the standout features of the C314 mini track loader is its unique operator positioning, as the operator is placed in closer proximity to the drive and motor. This innovative arrangement enhances machine control, especially considering its stand-on configuration. Operators also will experience elevated stability, due to being situated closer to the core of the machine, the manufacturer said.

Several other features have been added to enhance the operator environment of the C314 mini track loader, including hydraulic pilot joystick control and loader and ground drive control lockout. To improve overall comfort, the machine comes equipped with a cushioned platform, hand throttle and grab handles.

“The C314 mini track loader marks the initiation of a series of novel machines joining the New Holland Construction lineup,” Herritt said. “We’re immensely excited to bring to market this type of solution and deliver an exceedingly versatile machine that finds relevance in the daily operations of many contractors and landscapers alike.”

PerkinsAddresses Evolving Industry DemandsforImprovedFuelEfficiency

A key focus of the energy transition toward a lower-carbon future is the continued refinement of diesel engine designs to reduce fuel consumption, improve performance and prepare for the increased utilization of renewable fuels.

As part of its commitment to delivering smarter solutions, Perkins is announcing the development of the Perkins 2600 Series, a new 13-liter diesel engine platform designed to achieve best-in-class power density, torque and fuel efficiency for heavy-duty off-highway applications.

Targeting applications in agriculture, construction and numerous other sectors, the new platform extends Perkins leadership in high-performing, mid-sized engines with eight power ratings from 340 to 515 kW (456 to 690 hp) offering up to 3,200 Nm of peak torque. Industrial open power units configured with engine-mounted aftertreatment and cooling packsalsowillbeavailablefromthefactorytoreduceinstallation and validation costs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

One Engine, Endless Possibilities

Perkins will offer 2600 Series engines configured to meet the emissions standards of higher regulated countries, such as EU Stage V, U.S. EPATier IV Final, China Non-road IV, Korea StageVand Japan 2014, as well as versions for lesser regulated countries.The engines are compatible with renewable liquid fuels such as 100 percent hydrotreated vegetable

oils (HVO), B100 distilled Biodiesel, and up to B100 fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) standard biodiesel by working with your Perkins distributor. To preserve the performance and integrity of the engine while reducing the risk of downtime or failure, fuels must meet the specifications and characteristics described in official Perkins fluids guideline documents found on www.perkins.com.

Additionally, its core architecture supports the future development of spark-ignited natural-gas and hydrogen fuel capabilities.

To date, engineers have completed more than 20,000 hours of design validation on the 13-liter engine platform. It will be available for early OEM pilots in 2025, with commercial production scheduled to begin in 2026. It is ideally suited for dozens of off-highway applications, such as agriculture tractors, combines, harvesters, self-propelled sprayers; wheel and track loaders, excavators, dozers and other construction machinery; heavy lift trucks and other material-handling equipment; and large industrial pumps and compressors.

“As the off-highway industry advances toward a lowercarbon future, equipment manufacturers still face expectations for long-term productivity and reliability in the world’s most demanding work environments,” said Jaz Gill, vice president of global sales, marketing, service and parts.

“The new Perkins 2600 Series engine platform demonstrates how we’re leveraging our experience, intelligence and commitment to help OEMs navigate the energy transition with power solutions that deliver exceptional performance on the work site.”

New Era in Engine Performance

The Perkins 2600 Series showcases the company’s commitmenttoinnovationsthatsupportthesuccessofcustomers by challenging traditional assumptions, as evidenced by the 82 patents granted to date across the entire engine platform.

It is designed to perform at altitudes of up to 12,000 ft., andinextremeambienttemperaturesashighas140Fandas low as minus 40 F with aids.

The engine supports quality, reliability and easier maintenance through numerous design enhancements, including the integration of components as well as a reduction in the number of leak joints by more than 45 percent.Together, the upgradesresultinlowerfluidsconsumptionandextendedoil andfuelfilterserviceintervalsaslongas1,000hours,reducing operating costs and downtime.

James Smith of Superior Construction in Indy tries out a Caterpillar 314C excavator, one of the many excavators at the auction.

Don Shupe (retired of Gradex), a regular at Don Smock Auctions, was reliving memories of his 32 years working in the construction industry and is pictured on a Caterpillar 140H motor grader with GPS.

Ed Bryden (L) of Construction Equipment Guide talks with Nic Smock of Don Smock Auctions. “It’s been great working with Ed, and I wish him the best in his retirement,” said Smock.

Mike Rohleder, a member of the Seabees and of Moonlight Excavating in Ferdinand, Ind., gives the Case 450 dozer a test run.

Steve Mosier of Cory Mosier Enterprises found a perch on a Bobcat skid steer to check out the auction catalog.

Jason Schmidt of Schmidt Farms works in Hudson, Ind., and attended the auction in search of a dump truck.

Wess Payne, owner of Payne Excavating and Transport, came to the auction looking for a JCB backhoe to add to his fleet. He was interested in this JCB 3CXECO super loader backhoe.

AGC:‘TimetoRethinkWayU.S.Educates,PreparesWorkers’

In early September, the AGC presented a pretty bleak picture of “the flaws in the nation’s approach to preparing workers for construction careers.”

The association conducted a survey with Autodesk to give a comprehensive update on members’ experiences with staffing issues.AGC’s11thannualworkforce-related survey boils it down to a major problem that goes beyond simply workforce supply and demand.

Yes, the industry needs more people. But, said Ken Simonson, chief economist, it’s “time to rethink the way the nation educates and prepares workers.”

The IRA’s target is to electrify transportationandenergyinfrastructurethathashistorically run on fossil fuels. And while it will result in millions of new craft jobs well into the future, the challenge is to not only find craft workers, but skilled craftsmen and women.

More Than Just Warm Bodies

The Biden administration’s critics preach of the need to staunch labor shortages, but also train workers to take on potentially new and different careers.

“The demand for these types of skilled laborers and workers will outstrip the supply,” said Sanjay Patnaik, a director of the Brookings Institution.

The IRA’s low-carbon transition base is “shifting our economy from fossil fuels to electrification,” said Patnaik.

“That requires a trained workforce,” he added, in an interview with Politico’s energy news network.

While the climate legislation beefed up energy tax credits and rebates, what it didn’t

do was provide for training for clean energy and affiliated workers.

Ina“missedopportunity,”thoseprograms were cut from the final bill, said Jason Walsh, executive director of labor and environmental organization BlueGreenAlliance.

“We won’t be able to make and build and power our way to a clean energy economy,” said Walsh.

We also won’t be able to “create a workforce that looks like America and achieves our equity goals,” he added.

One California contractor whose companyinstallsEVchargingstationsishurtingfor electricians and blames it on insufficient fed workforce development.

“Demand is happening so fast, it’s hard to find people that have actually installed charging stations before,” said Ariel Fan of GreenWealth Energy.

But electrical contractors association NECA believes the aging construction workforce is setting the industry up for failure.

“Like a lot of other industries, we’re facingthisupcomingretirementboom,withthe baby boomers starting to retire,” Marco Giamberardino told Politico.

The senior vice president of government andpublicaffairsadded,“We’reputtingalot into the recruiting side to get young people into the trades.”

So are the feds, according to Politico. In fact, the White House is eyeing IRA tax credit bonuses as a contractor incentive to offer prevailing wages. The Biden administration also wants contractors to hire appren-

tices through project labor agreements with union organizations.And the DOE is requiring community benefit plans for grant and loan projects.

The benefit plans must be built around local workforce development and engagementwithorganizedlabor,reportedPolitico.

DOE is mitigating workforce shortage risks by encouraging investments in training and job quality, said Betony Jones, director, DOE office of energy jobs.

“We have a lot of untapped talent in this country — workers who are not participating in the labor market because they face barriers to employment,” she said. “As we make jobs more accessible to women, veterans, formerly incarcerated workers and others, employers will have an easier time filling open positions.”

The feds are in favor of unions’ training and apprenticeship programs, which they say are key to expanding the American workforce.

“This administration will continue to work with unions, educational institutions and industry to train Americans,” Robyn Patterson, White House spokesperson, told Politico.“Butit’suptocompaniestoprovide thewages,benefitsandjobqualitynecessary to retain and attract the talent they need.”

Industry: Fed Shares Burden

AGC believes efforts to not only attract craft workers but raise skills bar should be shared with the federal government.

“The biggest takeaway from this year’s workforce survey is how much the nation is failing to prepare future workers for careers in fields like construction,” said Simonson. “Too often, the applicants who are available

lack even the basic qualifications needed to be employable.”

TheAGC’s survey found that, in fact, few candidates have the basic skills needed to work in high-paying construction careers. As a result, contractors are forced to find new ways to keep pace with demand and factors undermining efforts to build infrastructure and other projects.

The association survey highlights those significant shortcomings in the nation’s approach to preparing entering construction workers. AGC reported that 85 percent of construction firms have open positions they are trying to fill, and 88 percent are having trouble filling at least some positions.

This is true particularly among the craft workforce that performs the bulk of onsite construction work, said the association.

“Largely similar results were reported by contractors that use exclusively union craft labor and by firms that operate as open-shop employers.”

It didn’t matter, either, if firms had $50 million or less in annual revenue or more than $500 million in revenue. Nor did the numbers differ by region.

The construction specialty, including highway and transportation projects, federal and heavy work, or utility infrastructure, made no difference.

Simonson noted one of the main reasons labor shortages are so severe is that most job candidates are not qualified to work in the industry. He considered the fact that 68 percent of firms report applicants lack the skills needed to work in construction “shocking.”

Simonson maintains workforce shortages are worsening supply chain disruptions and

Not only is the construction industry in dire need of workers, they need to be better trained to perform quality construction work. LABOR from page 1

Some 61 percent of respondents to AGC’s workforce survey reported projects they’ve worked on have been delayed due to labor shortages.

driving up the cost of much-needed construction materials.

“While these shortages have recentlyshownsignsofabating,65 percent of firms report projects have been delayed because of supply challenges,” he said.

Beyond experiencing supply bottlenecks, 61 percent of respondents said projects have been delayed because of labor shortages.Halfsaidprojectownerscanceled, postponed or scaled back jobs because of increasing costs. And, 22 percent of respondents said projects were impacted by extended completion deadlines or completion dates left up in the air.

The survey showed many construction firms are coping with or trying to overcome workforce shortages. In the past year, 81 percent have raised base pay rates; 44 percent provided incentives and bonuses; and 26 percent also improved benefits packages.

Firms are also getting more creative when it comes to recruiting

workers. Sixty-three percent of survey respondents have added onlinestrategies.Strategiesinclude using social media or targeted digital advertising to better connect with younger applicants.

Contractors also are increasing training investments to address the fact that many candidates lack the

basic hard and soft skills needed to be successful.

Forty-one percent of respondents reported they are boosting spending on training and professional development programs. Some 25 percent are enhancing their online and video training capabilities and 14 percent are

using AR and VR technology to better train workers.

“A career opportunity in construction should mean an opportunity to work with advanced technologyandperformsafe,meaningful work,” said Allison Scott of Autodesk. “As firms adopt more digital technologies and create stronger classroom and training pathways, we’ll begin to see a new generation enter the industry.

Workers will be “equipped with the tools and skills to tackle construction’s largest challenges,” said Scott, director of customer experience & industry advocacy at Autodesk.

Light at the End of the Tunnel?

AGC said in virtually every community there are open construction positions that pay better thantheaveragejobandarevitalto economic growth.

But, the association added, “too fewschoolsofferclassesinconstruction or even expose students to the opportunitiesthatexistinthefield.”

Public officials need to significantly boost investments in programs that expose students to the opportunities and skills needed for careers in construction.

This, in turn, will put more students on a path to professional and financial success and address the needs of local employers.

“Boosting funding for programs that expose students to skills in careerslikeconstructionwillsignal thattherearemultiplepathstosuccess in life, and one is not better than another,” said Simonson.

AGCwillcontinueitspushfora narrowed education funding gap which they figure currently invests five times as much in encouraging a college education.

Simonson said that it will take years to rebuild the nation’s career and technical education. AGC is willing to do its part, he added.

“Combined with our other efforts to attract and retain workers, we are confident that investing in construction education will help solve worker shortages in this sector.”  CEG

Diverging Diamond Interchange Part of I-229 Project

SDDOT from page 76

Work has included concrete paving east of I-229 on BensonRoad,alongwithasphaltsurfacinginstallationwork. Bridge work continues over I-229, along with watermain, sanitarysewerandstormdrainagepipeinstallationwestofI229.

As for how drivers are responding, said Neumeister, “The traveling public and business owners have been receptive and patient during the construction project and supportive of the reconstruction of the Benson Road interchange to improve capacity and safety. Congestion within the project limits has been minimal.”

Work began in April 2023. The prime contractor is T&R Contracting.

“The contractors have worked hard with utility coordination and relocation,” said Neumeister. “Generally speaking, the construction season is relatively short in South Dakota, requiring a lot of work to get done in a short amount of time.”

Aggregates for the PCC pavement and asphalt concrete mixes are among the main materials being used. Granular material will be placed under the concrete and asphalt surfacing.

HeavyequipmentrequiredonthejobincludesGOMACO slipform PCCP pavers, as well as asphalt paving machines. Underground crews are utilizing excavators and rollers. The grading contractor has used pull-type scrapers, as well as dozers and rollers. When the grading contractor completes

an area that’s finished, a paving contractor mobilizes to the area and begins paving either asphalt concrete surfacing or PCC pavement.

Neumeister said it’s satisfying to witness the progress being made each day.

“The construction crews are accomplishing a lot of work this season. The project is taking shape, and the prime contractor continues to drive the project forward.”

According to the city of Sioux Falls website, 2023 milestones include bridge work, pavement removals, storm drainage improvements, grading, gravelling, concrete paving and restoration. The reconstruction project on BensonRoadisscheduledtobefinishedbyNovember2024. The overall completion date is June 2025.  CEG
