Acquisition Agreement...

Komatsu Announces It Plans to Acquire Detroit’s American Battery Solutions Yanmar Compact Equipment North America photo

Yanmar recently partnered with the city of Grand Rapids, Minn., for naming rights to the IRA Civic Center, which was renamed Yanmar Arena on Nov. 1, 2023.

Yanmar Lands Naming Rights Deal, Unveils Yanmar Arena in Grand Rapids Yanmar Compact Equipment North America (Yanmar CE North America), encompassing the Yanmar Compact Equipment and ASV brands, has entered into a partnership with the city of Grand Rapids, Minn., to secure naming rights of the former IRA Civic Center.

Effective Nov. 1, 2023, the facility was renamed Yanmar Arena.

With more than 200,000 visitors per year, the newly christened Yanmar Arena is a popular venue for ice hockey, figure skating and community events held throughout the year. The official grand opening and ribbon cutting was held before the start of the Grand Rapids High School boys’ hockey game against Hibbing on Nov. 22, at 7 p.m. Promotional items were given away to the first 150 fans through the doors.

“The renaming of the IRA Civic Center to Yanmar Arena illustrates Yanmar’s commitment to Grand Rapids and the surrounding area by helping make athletic opportunities more accessible to the generations of athletes,” said Tate Johnson, CEO and president of Yanmar Compact Equipment North America.

“This was an excellent opportunity for us to give back in a meaningful way; and we are honored to partner with the city of Grand Rapids in this endeavor.”

According to city officials, the 10-year agreement will lower the cost of ice time by approximately $40/hour for all parties that utilize Yanmar Arena. As a result, thousands of people, young and old, will enjoy greater accessibility to ice skating; and Yanmar hopes this will support the next generation of young athletes.

Yanmar CE North America’s unwavering dedication to its hometown and profound belief in community-driven initiatives is at the heart of this historic partnership. Yanmar seeks to establish a space that not only fosters athletic excellence but serves as a cornerstone for community engagement, enrichment and pride.

Yanmar CE North America established its headquarters in Grand Rapids when it purchased ASV Holdings, a manufacturer of compact track loaders and skid steers, in 2019. ASV was originally founded in Marcell, Minn., in 1983 and moved its headquarters to Grand Rapids in 1995. The brand celebrated its 40th anniversary earlier this year.

The guiding principle of this partnership is Yanmar’s foundational ethos of HANASAKA, a Japanese word meaning “let the people and the future bloom.” Through HANASAKA, Yanmar envisions a future where young talent is nurtured and inspired through sports and arts, contributing to a thriving, connected community.

“This collaboration will enhance our local sports scene and open doors for athletes of all ages and backgrounds,” said Dale Christy, mayor of Grand Rapids. “We are immensely grateful for Yanmar’s commitment to the Grand Rapids community and their genuine support for the growth and well-being of our residents.”

Yanmar CE North America also provided the city of Grand Rapids with a new TL100VS, the debut machine in its new line of compact track loaders, which will be used for snow removal and maintenance at the facility.

Once new signage throughout the building is installed, Yanmar plans to acknowledge the venue’s storied history that dates back to 1962 when the Itasca Recreation Association (IRA) was formed with the expressed aim of raising funds to construct an indoor ice facility in Grand Rapids. Yanmar also will work with arena leadership to celebrate the rich heritage of Grand Rapids hockey.

Earlier this year, Yanmar announced a 32,000-sq. ft. expansion to its factory in Grand Rapids where the company will manufacture compact track loaders for both its Yanmar and ASV brands. The company also announced the addition of hundreds of jobs in Grand Rapids over the coming years.

Komatsu, through its wholly owned subsidiary in the United States, Komatsu America Corp., has agreed to acquire American Battery Solutions Inc. (ABS), a battery manufacturer headquartered in Detroit, Mich. Komatsu planned to close the acquisition on Dec. 1, 2023, on the condition that all necessary procedures for the closing are completed. The immediate impact on Komatsu’s consolidated business results is estimated to be minimal.

ABS develops and manufactures a wide variety of heavyduty and industrial battery packs, using lithium-ion batteries for commercial vehicles, transit buses and on- and off-road vehicles.

The company provides both standard and custom battery systems optimized to each customer’s needs. ABS’ technology, combined with the advanced product development knowledge and expertise of its people, enables the company to develop and manufacture battery packs designed to deliver superior performance and product life, and to enhance safety, according to the company.

The acquisition of ABS will enable Komatsu to develop and produce its own battery-operated construction and mining equipment, through the integration of ABS’ battery technology with Komatsu’s knowledge and network. The first equipment produced with ABS’ batteries will be used to power mining equipment in North and South America, where demand for electrification has been increasing. In the future, Komatsu will aim to expand the use of batteries in construction equipment and to establish a global supply system. Komatsu will continue to support ABS’ battery business to further develop the electrification business post-acquisition.

ABS will operate as a stand-alone business entity within Komatsu and will continue its growth plans by executing on its current and prospective customer programs in the commercial vehicle segments. The mining and construction opportunities provided through Komatsu will enable ABS to position itself as one of the world’s leading providers of battery systems in both on-highway and off-highway markets, according to the company.

Through the acquisition, Komatsu will accelerate the development of battery-powered electric vehicles by utilizing ABS’ battery-related technology, along with other initiatives Komatsu is pursuing with its partners, to further contribute to the electrification of construction and mining equipment and the realization of a decarbonized society. These efforts will help Komatsu achieve its management target of 50 percent reduction of CO2 emissions from the use of its products by 2030 (compared to 2010 levels) as well as the company’s challenge target of achieving its carbon neutrality by 2050.

As part of its growth strategy for the mid-term management plan “DANTOTSU Value — Together, to ‘The Next’ for sustainable growth,” Komatsu is working to develop and launch electric equipment to help achieve carbon neutrality, creating new value for customers with the development of new equipment, processes and technologies that will help operations step forward to the next stage for the workplace of the future and provide a more sustainable environment for the next generation. 

Ferronordic Acquires Volvo CE Dealer Rudd Equipment Ferronordic acquired Rudd Equipment Company Inc., one of the largest dealers of Volvo Construction Equipment in the United States with territory spanning all or parts of nine states.

Rudd Equipment is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferronordic.

Ferronordic, an established European-based dealer of Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks, is entering the United States market with the acquisition of Rudd Equipment. Ferronordic will purchase 100 percent of the stock of Rudd Equipment. The transaction closed on Nov. 30, 2023.

Rudd Equipment is the exclusive Volvo CE dealer for the entire states of Kentucky and Ohio and Indiana, with exception of two counties. Its territory also includes parts of Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Maryland. Headquartered in Louisville, Ky., Rudd Equipment has more than 360 employees across 13 locations. Ferronordic will continue to offer the full range

of Volvo products and solutions under the Rudd Equipment banner.

“This is a transformational transaction for us,” said Lars Corneliusson, CEO, Ferronordic.

“We have been looking for opportunities to expand geographically in other regions, mainly in developed markets. Rudd is a good strategic fit for Ferronordic and

provides the platform and scale we have been looking for in the United States. The acquisition gives us a strong base in a dynamic market that opens potential for further

growth in North America.”

“We are excited to welcome Ferronordic to our North American dealer network and see incredible opportunities ahead,” said Scott Young, head of sales region North America, Volvo CE. “We have a shared commitment to provide industry-best equipment, solutions and support to our customers. We also extend sincere appreciation to Mike Rudd and the team at Rudd Equipment for the long-standing relationships they have built over seven decades.”

Rudd Equipment was founded in Louisville in 1952 by Mason Rudd. In 1975, his son Mike, joined the company and over the next 48 years focused on expanding its footprint into neighboring states. Ferronordic does not foresee any major changes to the current organization of Rudd Equipment and Mike Rudd will continue with the company for a period following the deal closing.

INDOT Awards $202M Contract for I-69 ORX Section 3 Another key milestone has been met for the I-69 Ohio River Crossing (I-69 ORX).

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) awarded the contract for I-69 ORX Section Three to ORX Constructors, a joint venture that includes Walsh Construction and Traylor Bros Inc. “Awarding this contract is yet another important step toward generational progress as we work to improve Indiana’s infrastructure for all Hoosiers and visitors,” said Gov. Eric Holcomb. “We’ll be starting construction next year in Evansville, and that work will be a visible reminder of what’s to come.

An I-69 Ohio River Crossing will further connect Indiana and Kentucky and create regional economic opportunities for decades to come.”

The nearly $202 million dollar contract includes approach roadways and bridges in Indiana that will provide an all-weather construction access to the Ohio River for the future I-69 Section Two project, the river crossing.

“It’s an exciting time for transportation in Indiana,” said INDOT Commissioner Mike Smith. “We’re eager for construction to get under way as we work toward the completion of this crucial connection to Kentucky and points beyond, officially finishing I-69

throughout the state.”

I-69 ORX is divided into three sections for construction: • Section One focuses on improvements in Henderson, Ky., and extends from KY 425 to U.S. 60 and is led by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

Construction began in 2022 and is expected to be complete in 2025.

• Section Two is a bistate project between Kentucky and Indiana that will complete the I-69 connection from U.S. 60 in Henderson

to existing I-69 in Evansville. It includes the new four-lane river crossing. Design work is expected to begin in 2025 with construction anticipated to begin in 2027 and continue through 2031. Both states are looking for opportunities to accelerate the timeline.

• Section Three is led by INDOT. Construction of the Indiana approach is expected to begin by summer 2024 and wrap up in 2026. I-69 ORX Section 3 is funded through a $200 million investment announced by Gov. Holcomb in 2021.

About I-69 ORX The I-69 Ohio River Crossing (I-69 ORX) is divided into three sections for construction. I-69 Section 1 focuses on improvements in Henderson and extends from KY 425 to U.S. 60. I-69 Section 3 focuses on part of the approach roadways and bridges in Indiana. I-69 ORX Section 2 includes the four-lane river crossing connecting Evansville, Ind., and Henderson, Ky.

John Deere Commits Donation Match to Construction Angels Continuing its commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the construction industry, John Deere announced that it is committed to matching donations, up to a total of $100,000, made to the Construction Angels nonprofit organization from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023.

Construction Angels offers critical support when tragedy strikes, providing financial assistance, grief counseling services and long-term scholarship funding to family members left behind when a construction worker dies on the job site.

“John Deere is humbled to provide support to Construction Angels,” said Jason Daly, vice president, earthmoving sales, marketing & customer success, John Deere.

“This contribution will enable continuity for family members who have lost a construction worker.”

According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, on average 4.5 construction employees are killed in a typical workday in the United States. In addition, approximately 20 percent of all jobsite deaths in the United States occur in the construction industry. The founder of Construction Angels, Kristi Gibbs, has dedicated her life to providing a support system in the moments when tragedy strikes.

“John Deere is humbled to provide support to Construction Angels,” said Jason Daly, vice president, earthmoving sales, marketing & customer success, John Deere.

“This contribution will enable continuity for family members who have lost a construction worker.”

“In this business, you never know what might happen,” said Gibbs. “You never know what could cause an accident. Safety is our number-one goal in construction. We

try to anticipate any different type of construction issue that might occur on the jobsite and prepare for it. But there are accidents that happen that we cannot prepare for.”

When tragic construction-related fatalities occur, Construction Angels provides immediate financial assistance and grief counseling to the spouse and children who are left behind. Gibbs, who represents the third generation of an Ohio family that worked in the asphalt business, knew from a young age that she wanted to work in construction. She was previously employed at a concrete-cutting company in 2009 when she crossed paths with a family in need, resulting in the founding of the Construction Angels organization.

In addition to grief counseling and financial support, a scholarship fund created by the nonprofit helps ensure children who lost a parent will still have the financial means to pursue higher education.

Construction Angels is currently providing support in 24 states nationwide and is aiming to expand its assistance to all 50 states by 2030. Gibbs added, “working with these dealerships has really helped us move ahead, and partnering with companies like John Deere has given us some national exposure and helped us grow.”

Case Introduces New Ways to Work in Tight Job Sites Case Construction Equipment is launching a sprawling lineup of new and enhanced machines that will help utility teams and other contractors work more productively and profitably in the face of ever-evolving jobsite challenges.

This next generation of Case machines was on full display at The Utility Expo in Louisville, Ky., Sept. 26 to 28, 2023.

Highlighting the booth was Case’s re-entry of the wheeled excavator market in North America, its new Construction King backhoe models (center pivot and side shift), enhanced dozers with electrohydraulic (EH) blade control, and a sneak peek of one of its newest electric vehicles (EV), a 2.5 metric ton mini excavator.

“The construction industry faces a unique inflection point with historic levels of government investment, yet a resource-constrained labor market. That’s why we’re launching the next generation of our swift, smooth, smart machines this year to help contractors get more work done smarter, faster and easier than ever,” said Terry Dolan, vice president, North America, Case Construction Equipment.

To share the benefits of these latest models, Case experts hosted special launch presentations throughout the show.

New E Series Wheeled Excavators This fall, Case re-enters the wheeled excavator market to help crews who need more maneuverable machines for today’s constricted urban job sites.

With the ability to travel up to 25 mph, the new E Series wheeled excavators give contractors the ability to self-deploy from job site to job site, while minimizing the time and expense involved with transporting by trailer.

Offering the same powerful hydraulic performance and massive attachment flexibility as their steel-track counterparts, these fully featured rubber-tired excavators also offer significantly lower total cost of ownership than machines with a steel track and undercarriage, allowing utilities contractors to improve their bottom line.

“The new Case wheeled excavators bring a whole new dimension to our E Series excavator lineup, offering invaluable benefits in terms of flexibility, performance, efficiency and serviceability,” said Diego Butzke, product manager, North America, Case Construction Equipment. “These five new wheeled models give utility teams the versatility, agility and power they need to take on

With the ability to travel up to 25 mph, the new E Series wheeled excavators give contractors the ability to self-deploy from job site to job site, while minimizing the time and expense involved with transporting by trailer.

the toughest jobsite challenges.”

Construction King Backhoe Loaders — Twice the Work With One Operator Another booth highlight for Utility Expo attendees was the new Case Construction King backhoe models — the original twoin-one tool-carrying machines.

Particularly useful for utility crews is the side-shift backhoe, which lets operators shift the boom left or right to give them the visibility they need to work safely and efficiently — a critical improvement when digging around active gas lines or an electrical box.

The expanded Case backhoe offering also is compatible with numerous attachments, giving crews a big toolkit for improving productivity, speed and accuracy on highly varied jobs.

Operator-First Improvements Take Dozers to Next Level of Performance, Uptime Case also showcased its latest round of dozer enhancement to the Case M Series, bringing contractors more precision, reliability and control than ever before, according to the manufacturer.

New electro-hydraulic controls allow the operator — of any skill level — to set steering and shuttle settings to smooth, moderate or aggressive to better dial that machine to their preference, which simultaneously reduce operator fatigue and increase productivity.

Case Universal Machine Control also is available with these machines, which allows them to be outfitted with machine control solutions from any of the three major suppliers of precision construction technology.

Case showcased its latest round of dozer enhancement to the Case M Series.

Each dozer also is available with factory-fit solutions from Leica Geosystems that simplify the ordering and setup process.

“When we set out to make our strong dozer offering even stronger, we did so with an operator-first mindset,” said Jeremy Dulak, product manager, North America, Case Construction Equipment.

“With these latest enhancements, Case M Series dozers are more comfortable, more precise and more intuitive to operate than ever, making it easier for operators to dominate the job site all day long.”

Case Electric Models Meet Changing Needs of Contractors Because government and municipalities are early adopters of electrification, Case also offered a sneak peek of one of its latest electric models — the CX25EV all-electric mini excavator launching in 2024.

With the same power and performance as diesel-powered machines, new Case EV equipment is easy to charge, transport and service, while providing the additional value of zero on-site emissions, minimal noise and reduced maintenance costs.

“Like all our machines, we designed these new and enhanced models with practical innovation based on contractors’ needs today and where we see the industry evolving,” Dolan said. “We’ve done this so utility teams and construction contractors are best prepared to tackle their toughest jobsite challenges and improve their business with the right machines, with the right attachments, at the right time.”

People Drive Growth, Success of Southwest-Minnesota Co. In 2026, Duininck Inc. will celebrate 100 years of operation. In that time, jobs, equipment and applications have changed. One constant has been the foundation of its sustained excellence: people.

“One of our core values is valuing the person as a whole,” said Courtland Acosta, equipment manager. “That includes our employees, vendors and customers, but also the communities we work in through infrastructure improvements and community service.”

Another constant at Duininck Inc. has been the Duininck family, which is in its third generation of family ownership with the fourth generation already involved.

The path to success began in 1926 when Duininck brothers Henry, Amos and Wilbur started a road construction business from their hometown of Prinsburg, Minn. Growth and expansion of both services and territory was the legacy of the second generation, also a trio of brothers in Harris, Larry and Lee. During this time, Duininck Inc. grew to add more applications and became more diversified with its offerings.

Today, Chris Duininck, president, carries on the family ownership legacy into its eleventh decade of operation with a focus on modernization and integrating technology into the operation to position the company for continued success in the modern construction industry.

“This is a very competitive industry, so you have to do things right to succeed,” he said. “The Duininck name has a reputation for getting projects done in a timely manner without cost overruns or delays. It’s something we’ve been doing for 100 years, and that’s due to a solid foundation the Duininck family has instilled and continued to prove.”

Community Building An entrepreneurial mindset has led to Duininck Inc.’s continued growth. Today, the company regularly works on heavy civil construction, asphalt paving, utilities and grading projects in the $3-5 million range. With 350 employees at the height of construction season, Duininck completes projects in west-central Minnesota, but will occasionally go as far north as the Canadian border and south to northern Iowa.

Another focus area for Duininck is aggregate production.

The addition of crushing allows Duininck to provide material for construction projects in its footprint and feed a sister company that makes ready-mix.

“We like to focus on our main service area for a lot of projects,” said Acosta. “Especially those where we can utilize our own aggregate material as opposed to purchasing and trucking some in. It allows us to be more competitive and have the quality control we pride ourselves on.”

True Partnership When Acosta joined Duininck five years ago, he estimates that only about 5 percent of its equipment fleet was Komatsu

Last year Duininck Inc. added an Astec KPI-JCI K500 cone crusher to its Scott Quarry aggregate pit in Hardwick.

Minn. “We are producing about 200-tons more per hour,” said Courtland Acosta, equipment manager. “It’s performing flawlessly.”

pieces from Road Machinery & Supplies Co. He said that number has doubled in the last three years. Duininck Inc. has found a true partner in RMS. “I was familiar with Komatsu equipment from my past jobs,” said Acosta. “I had used Komatsu’s large mining equipment and excavators a lot. I believed — and still do today — that Komatsu is a quality product. I think it can go up against any of the other brands and outperform them,” he said. “But what has really helped us add more pieces is the support we get from RMS. I’ve never heard ‘No’ from RMS. From Mike Sill [CEO] to Mike Buchanan [territory manager], they are invested in our success. Duininck Inc. and RMS are partners.”

Developing a relationship takes more than successful equipment sales. While reliable equipment is the first step in the process, the service and support Duininck has received from RMS is what has taken the relationship to another level.

“Just recently we had a machine that was down, and I called Mike to see when we could get a technician out to the site,” said Acosta. “Mike called me and said the tech was tied up at another job, so he was going to the site to start working on it himself. That isn’t his job, and it was late. He’s got a young family, but he was ready to do what it took to get the job done.

“Then at 7:00 p.m. I got a call from Jason Guggisberg [RMS field technician]. He told me he was getting fuel and heading to the site. A couple hours later, Jason called me back and said the machine was back up and running. It saved us a day, but the thing that meant the most to me is that he told me ‘I’m here to help you guys.’ You don’t get a lot of that attitude anymore today.”

Continued Growth Komatsu isn’t the only equipment from RMS making its way into Duininck’s fleet. Last year Duininck purchased an Astec KPI-JCI K500 cone crusher — it’s first piece of Astec aggregate equipment — to the aggregate spread at its Scott Quarry in Hardwick, Minn. Once again, going the extra mile led to the deal.

“We rented a crusher last season, and we weren’t sure if it was the right fit,” said Acosta. “We met with Ben Schmidtlein [RMS aggregate division manager] and then visited the Astec plant in Eugene, Ore. We got a real handson experience and were confident that Astec and RMS would be the best fit. After that, we were excited to put it to work in the toughest application that we have.”

The K500 is currently working as the plant’s secondary crusher. The Scott Quarry produces .75-in. product for a large ready-mix operation in addition to material for FOB sales and Duininck’s asphalt operations. While the application is tough, the K500 has exceeded expectations.

“We are producing about 200-tons more per hour,” said Acosta. “It’s performing flawlessly.”

Production numbers and machine performance can be forecasted from the manufacturer. However, until the machine is in the field, it’s merely an estimate you hope is right. One thing that Acosta said he didn’t have to worry about was the service and support he’d receive from RMS. “Never in the process of buying the K500 did I ever doubt RMS’ ability to stand behind the machine,” he said. “Their reliability was one of the reasons we bought the crusher.” see DUININCK page 36

With data from USGS (United States Geological Society) indicating that in some of the most densely populated urban centers across the United States demand for sand and gravel reserves often outstrips supply, CDE has launched a new campaign to support natural sand producers to adopt modern technological solutions to drive efficiency across their operations.

Companies can now opt to swap their traditional sand screw for CDE’s EvoWash sand washing plant as part of a new trade in deal. With financing options available, the offer enables a quick and easy swap to help deliver increased inspec sand recovery.

Proven Impact CDE EvoWash technology has already replaced sand screws across the United States and delivered significant return on investment for producers.

A compact, modular sand washing system, the EvoWash screens and separates the smaller sand and gravel fractions through an integrated high-frequency dewatering screen, sump and hydrocyclones which provide enhanced control of silt cut points and eliminate the loss of quality fines with significant commercial value, the manufacturer said.

Incorporating CDE’s Infinity Scree technology, the EvoWash offers optimal dewatering results which enables operators to produce a range of high-quality sands that are market-ready straight from the belt.

Protecting revenue by eliminating the need for maintaining settling ponds, the EvoWash can integrate seamlessly into existing operations to reduce site footprint, minimize downtime and, with an increased number of parameters to ensure improved accuracy on the material cut point, remove the double-handling of materials, as high-value fines can often be lost and trapped at the bottom of ponds when processed with the more traditional sand screw.

Curtis Wheatcraft, owner of Texas-based Wheatcraft Materials, said the traditional equipment once employed by the business had its limitations.

“One of the biggest challenges we identified was that we were losing valuable sand due to the inefficiencies of the older technology.”

Wheatcraft Materials Inc. was operating a traditional sand washing set-up with a horizontal classifying tank and sand screw. Its investment in a CDE EvoWash paid for itself within just four months.

Modern Solution Although sand screw technology has been essential to the quarrying industry over the years, increasing demand for sand and aggregate products, as well as increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, mean that operators must produce a wider range of materials in larger quantities and in less time to protect their return on investment and to turn a profit.

CDE’s Vice President of Sales, Joe Teague, said, “Our aim is to support natural sand producers to maximize the efficiency of their operations and boost profitability by ensuring consistency in product output and increasing material retention while drastically reducing the cost of pond maintenance.”

He said the traditional sand screw has been a cornerstone of the industry for almost a century.

“Our industry was built on the back of this workhorse. The impact the sand screw has had is unquestionable and to this day it continues to be a significant element in the production process for construction and materials companies across the United States.”

But modern day demand requires a modern solution, he added.

“We’re operating at time when increasing pressures — regulatory, commercially, environmentally — mean it is crucial to extract maximum value from every grain of sand.

Technology is the solution and can help transform a good operation into a great one. With the EvoWash in stock and just a few days to integrate into existing systems, we’re ready to take orders today.”

MOBIBELT Introduces MBT 20i, MBT 24i Mobile Stackers Optimized for Logistics Nowadays, modern crushing and screening plants regulate material streams within the plant to a large extent automatically.

Nevertheless, machine operators still have a strong influence on the final product quality and the daily output.

They control the input with their excavators and wheel loaders, i.e. the loading of stone or recycling material.

Users also play the main role with regard to output: They co-ordinate the final products by means of building up stockpiles, intermediate storage areas

and loading.

With the new stackers MOBIBELT MBT 20i and MBT 24i from Kleemann, logistics can now be organized flexibly and adapted to the respective situation, the manufacturer said.

Short Set-Up Times, High Feed Capacities Both stackers are equipped with a large 1.6 cu. yd. feed hopper made of resistant KRS (Kleemann resistant steel), which permits the feeding of material with an edge length of up to 8

The mobile stackers MOBIBELT MBT 20(i) and MBT 24(i) from Kleemann make large stockpiles and improved work site logistics possible.

in. without any problems.

An optional hopper extension up to 3.3 cu. yd. is provided with an additional impact bar that prevents the direct impact of the feed material on the conveyor belt and thus reduces wear. Due to the hydraulically adjustable feed and discharge height, a fast set-up is possible and the stackers can be used flexibly behind screening and crushing plants with different discharge heights.

Comfortable Operation The operation of mobile stackers is less complex than crushing plants and it should also be simple and convenient. The MOBIBELT MBT 20i and MBT 24i have an SPECTIVE operating concept that makes intuitive operation of the machines possible. During a typical workday, the operator receives support with a central operating position, local operation and the option of troubleshooting help via SPECTIVE CONNECT.

DUININCK from page 31

“Right now, we run a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to technology in our fleet,” said Acosta. “One of things we’re looking at is incorporating more of the latest technology.

That’s going to happen sooner than later.”

To meet its technology goals, Duininck has looked to RMS and Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control equipment.

“We’ve been to the Komatsu Demo Days in Cartersville with RMS,” said Acosta. “It was a really good opportunity to get in the machines and run them, but also get information and training on how and when to use them.

Metso Introduces New Nordberg HP200e Cone Crusher Range As a result of continuing cone crusher technology development, Metso introduced a new HP200e cone crusher to the aggregates markets, providing more performance and uptime in a more sustainable way, enabled by kinematics and new chamber designs.

The new liners are fitted in the crushers without backing material, making maintenance breaks shorter and the liner replacement faster, safer and less hazardous for the environment, according to the manufacturer.

“The evolution of Metso’s cone crusher technology brings multiple benefits and present a true evolution for aggregates producers in terms of performance, uptime, serviceability and application coverage,” said Ilkka Somero, product manager, Nordberg HP Cone Crushers in Metso.

“The concrete benefits include enhanced performance, 10 percent more head motion, 20 percent more kW power, 20 percent more force, new more efficient chambers, an antispin brake for higher uptime, serviceability improvements and a feed cone lifting tool.

Environmentally, the new HP200e crushers are also a more friendly solution, as they do not require backing material. We are truly happy to be able to offer this latest evolution of our leading crusher technology to our customers.”

Metso ensures strong aftermarket support and availability for the HP200e crushers.

The majority of spare parts in the current HP200 and the new HP200e are common, which will enable continued global spare part support for new units. Metso has established a start-up inventory for HP200e specific parts in Europe and North America.

Further, a full scope of HP200e crushing chambers will be available in main stocking locations for the launch markets. Metso also provides a head&bowl upgrade kit for the existing HP200 cone crushers, allowing the installation of no-backing chambers and for customers to enjoy the same health, safety and environmental benefits as with the new HP200e model.

E TIP’s Universal Preheater Offers Cold Weather Solutions

By Hugh Goulding SPECIAL TO CEG

It was bitterly cold – after all it was early winter ... the first really cold day. The farmer was surprised when the gate to the pasture did not open. He pressed the switch again. It made noise but no action.

During the summer, several farm hands had been talking about the new electric gate opener for the pasture. “Just hit the switch and the gate opens.”

They appreciated the action all summer and fall when time after time they had to enter and leave the pasture … opening and closing the gate ... just hit the switch.

How well it worked. All this convenience is driven by the new electric motor and the gear box.

Until on this first cold and frosty winter day it refused to open.

The farmer called E TIP and described how he learned about the company’s “Peel n Stick” Universal Preheaters from his neighbors; conversations had been buzzing at the local coffee shop and their experience and descriptions about the Universal Preheater prompted him to call and to place his order.

Using a permanent adhesive, the “Peel n Stick” Preheaters mount to the outside of the metal tank/housing quickly and easily.

E TIP advised that he should describe the contents and quantity of the fluid and the physical dimensions of the housing itself, including the type and thickness of the metal for the gate opener tank. Using these specs and the voltage service available would allow the company to recommend the Preheater that was needed.

After his easy install of the new Preheater on the outside of the housing, he called to express his thanks and apprecia-

The E TIP Universal Preheater offers a solution in cold weather.

tion for the solution E TIP provided. Further he described how each of his men warmly congratulated and thanked him because now the summer-like operation of the pasture gate continued even in the cold weather due to the new Preheater.

Push the switch and the gate opens. That gate was no longer the problem it had been each winter.

The “Peel n Stick” Universal Preheater permanently mounts on the outside bottom or the side (below the level of the contents inside) of the gear box housing and converts the metal of the housing itself into an actual heat transfer element. Heat spreads quickly through the metal housing heat-

ing the lube and keeping everything operating year-round like summertime.

E TIP suggests when mounting the Preheater that it be installed in such a way to leave room to mount another Preheater if more heat may be desired to further improve cold weather operations.

E TIP also offers filter Preheaters for bulk tank diesel fuel storage filters and for equipment and vehicle diesel fuel filters. Stop diesel fuel gelling and avoid cold weather problems.

Bizzack Construction — 65 Years of Earthmoving Experience “Very few companies have the vision to stand on a hill and economically determine where the road and bridges should be placed,” said Scott Murray, sales representative of Boyd CAT, Louisville, Ky. Bizzack Construction LLC of Lexington, Ky., part of the Lawson Companies, is one of these few visionaries.

Bizzack has been a fixture of the highway and heavy earthmoving industry for 65 years. It has completed major bid-build and design-build projects in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. For the last 20 years, Gary Taylor, Bizzack’s president, has completed multiple segments of the Coalfields Expressway, spanning 65 mi. of roadway in West Virginia and a corridor of about 50 miles in Virginia.

In eastern Kentucky, the earthmoving contractor is relocating mountains of material for the Wolfe County segment of the Mountain Parkway Expansion. Awarded in the spring of 2022, the $97.1 million, 450working-day construction contract expands 11 mi. of existing roadway from an outdated two-lane highway to four lanes.

Fast Paced Bizzack employs roughly 400 workers and owns a fleet of 350 pieces of heavy equipment to complete targeted projects in the $5 million- to $300-million range.

Project scope often requires removal and redistribution of tens of millions of yards of materials.

Project shifts run round-the-clock.

“We are a fast-paced company,” said Tom Edison, maintenance supervisor of Bizzack.

Jamie Adkins, Bizzack’s project superintendent, added, “On the Wolf County segment, we move an average of 20,000 to 24,000 yards of material every day.”

Work requires cutting into sections of the Appalachian Mountain Range. Bizzack employs its own drill/blast crew and owns a fleet of drills to build benches between 20- to 25-ft. high. When space is tight, Bizzack’s excavators and articulated trucks provide initial material clearing.

When it’s time for heavy hauling, Bizzack moves in its fleet of 100-ton Cat 777 offhighway trucks; Cat 992 wheel loaders equipped with 16-yard buckets; and D8, D9 and D10 dozers. Using a trap-loading strategy, dozers push material toward the loader.

“It’s faster, easier on the loader and you get a higher bucket fill factor,” said Taylor.

“We shoot for 100 tons and sometimes 110 tons per truck. With trap loading, we can get an additional two to three yards of material in each truck.”

Depending on length of haul, Bizzack pairs three to seven 777 haul trucks to a 992 loader. Loading trucks in approximately four passes, Bizzack’s crew has truck exchange

down to a science.

“They handle bulk yardage jobs better than anyone else I’ve been around,” said David Cummins, vice president of sales and rental of Boyd CAT. “If you watch their loaders, trucks are spotted in the perfect position for loading.”

While one truck is loaded, the next truck is already backed into position on the platform, so it is ready to move in. Murray said on other sites he’s visited, the average truck exchange rate is around 45 seconds.

“On a Bizzack job, it’s less than 30 seconds,” he said.

(L-R) are Jamie Adkins, Bizzack project superintendent; Shane Gayheart, product support account representative of Boyd CAT; and Tom Edison, Bizzack maintenance supervisor.

Multiple Lives Bizzack’s work philosophy is to use innovative approaches to deliver a cost-effective project for the taxpayer. Taylor studies the plans and traffic patterns to uncover ways to finish the project quicker and with less impact on the traveling public. The company has already submitted two value engineering proposals on Mountain Parkway that have resulted in substantial savings for the taxpayers.

The company’s fleet includes new machines leveraging technology mixed with tried-and-true equipment that have logged more than 60,000 hours. Sometimes working hundreds of miles from the home base, Bizzack depends on a regimented maintenance program and trusted equipment dealers to optimize uptime.

“We would not have the confidence to go out and estimate these projects if we didn’t have the confidence in our equipment and the tight relationship with Boyd,” said Taylor. “They supply us with new and used see BIZZACK page 86

Caterpillar to Amplify Electrification, Energy Solutions During CES 2024

The exhibit’s centerpiece, the Cat R1700 XE LHD underground loader, offers a 16.5-ton payload and 11.2 mph top speed.

Attendees at CES 2024 will experience the Power of Possible at Caterpillar Inc.’s roughly 9,600 sq. ft. exhibit Jan. 9 to 12 in Las Vegas.

This year’s display focuses on Caterpillar’s electric machines and energy solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers as they electrify their job sites. As a technology leader for nearly a century, Caterpillar continues to innovate and invest in electrification, alternative fuels, connectivity, and digital solutions to help its customers meet their sustainability goals.

“We are delighted to return to CES to showcase our advancements in energy solutions. This event is known as the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators, which makes it the ideal place for us to showcase our leadership in power systems and integrated service solutions to help our customers in the energy transition,” said Rod Shurman, senior vice president of Caterpillar’s Electrification + Energy Solutions division.

“We’re putting our expertise to work on multiple advanced power technologies to enable the energy transition solutions that our customers need to be successful in a reduced-carbon world.”

The Caterpillar Experience The exhibit’s centerpiece, the Cat R1700 XE LHD underground loader, offers a 16.5-ton payload and 11.2 mph top speed. The zero-exhaust emission loader includes the industry’s only onboard battery eliminating the need to handle or exchange batteries. It charges quickly — in less than 20 minutes when paired with two of the durable and mobile Cat MEC500 chargers.

The Cat MEC500 Mobile Equipment Charger is a standalone charging system designed to charge quickly and safely as needed.

Also on display is the company’s 301.9 mini excavator, the first machine with a Caterpillar battery.

Job Site Solutions No matter how big or small the task at hand, work sites all over the world have two things in common, the need for power and the desire to be more sustainable. Caterpillar offers a powerful combination of technologies and expertise to help customers map their journey toward a lower carbon future.

Visitors to the Cat booth #5440 in the West Hall at CES

Caterpillar offers and continues to develop charging options to support battery electric machines using industry standard connectors and protocols. The Cat chargers displayed at CES are tested and validated to work with Cat equipment in the same harsh environments where our machines are put to work.

• Batteries: The on-board battery pack on display at CES is designed to power the 301.9 mini excavator with a total capacity of 32 kWh and a nominal voltage of 48 volt. Cat battery packs consist of a modular design with factory integrated telematics and a rugged structure to endure the use on our heavy equipment.

• Power System Solutions: Additionally displayed at CES will be a Cat 750V Electric Motor and Inverter, components that support a variety of machines and power systems. A 750 DC motor provides mechanical power for the machine movement when commanded by the operator. The inverter transfers power to the electric motor from an onboard Caterpillar machine power source like a generator or battery.

• Digital Insights & Customer Solutions: The Cat digital solutions include everything from machine application use to battery monitoring and servicing needs. The ability for Caterpillar equipment and power solutions to learn about the environment and the habits of the work and operator is also crucial for safety, efficiency, and productivity. The ability to monitor each part of the ecosystem allows the company to provide advanced analytics, transforming data into customer insights making it easier for customers to own and operate their equipment.

Monster Jam, JCB Partner, Announce ‘DIGatron’ Will Make Debut in January Monster Jam, the most unexpected, unscripted and unforgettable motorsports experience for families and fans in the world, announced a multi-year partnership with JCB, joining together two family businesses.

The collaboration establishes JCB as the Official Heavy Equipment Partner of Monster Jam. The partnership features the addition of a new truck design to the fleet — JCB DIGatron. Designed in conjunction with JCB’s engineering team and inspired by JCB’s iconic construction equipment, the new Monster Jam truck will be driven by reigning Monster Jam World Finals Racing champion Tristan England.

DIGatron will make its debut at Monster Jam in January at the Alamodome in San Antonio, which also will be the city for a new JCB factory.

“The Monster Jam and JCB partnership brings together two long-standing, family businesses that are both committed to providing the highest value to our customers, including performance and innovation,” said Juliette Feld Grossman, chief operating officer, Feld Entertainment. “We are excited to welcome JCB into the Monster Jam family.”

The partnership also provides opportunities for JCB to connect with their dealerships and customers in more than 100 markets globally each year. Additionally, at selected events

where DIGatron is participating, JCB will be providing equipment to support track construction as well as a JCB 457 wheel loader vehicle for recovery purposes.

Being an integral part of Monster Jam events and play, JCB also will be seamlessly integrated into the global Monster Jam merchandise program.

“Quite uniquely JCB is still today a family business, as are many of our dealer partners and the customers that we serve,” said Richard Fox-Marrs, president and CEO of JCB North America.

“In this industry of hard-working people, we all spend significant time away from our families. Therefore, this exciting new partnership is particularly special as it will provide an all-inclusive family friendly experience that can be enjoyed by all. JCB prides itself in doing different, and having a little

fun at the same time, so we believe the partnership with Monster Jam and creation of the JCB DIGatron is a perfect fit.”

Alice Bamford, who is daughter of JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford, said, “Our family is delighted by the partnership between Monster Jam and JCB. Our son, Otis, is the original Monster Jam fan in our family, and it is through his eyes that we realized how incredible it could be to join forces with another family business like Feld Entertainment as both companies share the same values of innovation, dedication, passion, and attention to detail.

“We are thrilled about the hours of entertainment that JCB DIGatron, with Tristan at the wheel, will bring to children, families, and our customers across North America.”

Turning Tragedy Into Triumph: ARTBA Expands Aid for Children of Fallen Workers The ARTBA Foundation’s scholarship fund, which for 25 years has helped children of fallen highway construction workers attend college and trade school, is expanding its reach and impact.

The newly renamed Lanford Family Transportation Construction Worker Memorial Scholarship now extends post-high school financial assistance to the sons, daughters or legally adopted children of workers killed or permanently disabled while working on projects in these sectors: airports, bridges, marine, ports and waterways, public transit, roads, railroads, tunnels and utilities.

ARTBA’s analysis of available federal data has found that about 150

transportation construction workers are killed annually on the job.

“The 2021 infrastructure law is providing record levels of federal investment in all modes of surface transportation to repair and modernize an aging network,” Stan Lanford said.

“The American people will be the ultimate beneficiaries of these improvements. At the same time, however, the increased investments also mean many more project work sites that put more construction workers at risk. That’s why now is the right time to expand the scope of the scholarship.”

“The Lanford family has further cemented its legacy as a transportation construction leader with its commitment to expanding the scholarship’s

reach,” said Paul Yarossi, the ARTBA Foundation chairman and a senior executive with HNTB. “We will be able to provide a ray of hope for more children of construction workers who make the ultimate sacrifice while building a better America.”

The program was created in 1999 as the “Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship” with a generous gift from Roanoke (Va.) contractors and brothers Jack Lanford (Adams Construction) and Stan Lanford (Lanford Brothers Company). Nearly $800,000 in aid has been provided to worthy students in 33 states.

Applications will be considered for the 2024-25 academic year and are available at artbafoundation.org. 

Machine Control Helps Construction Pros With Accuracy AEM’s new report, Benefits of Construction Technologies and their Impact on Society, details how four key innovations are helping construction sites become safer and more productive, while also reducing their environmental footprint.

One of those technologies, machine control, is changing the way earthmoving and paving tasks are completed. Previously unimaginable levels of accuracy and efficiency are being achieved, resulting in job sites that are safer and more productive, and projects that are completed faster and with less waste.

“Machine control is a technology system that calculates the position of machinery,” said Brad Viernow, OEM director of North America Heavy Construction at Leica Geosystems, a supplier of sensors, software and services for geospatial data intelligence.

“To determine precise location, machine control uses measurement data from either satellites [i.e. GNSS] or an onsite surveying instrument called a total station. Then machine control is able to compare that positioning data to a project design.”

Armed with all of that information, machine control is then able to guide and assist the person operating a piece of equipment. It’s pretty simple: Better information leads to better results.

“On average, 52 percent of all rework globally is caused by poor data and missed communication,” said Viernow. “Sharing up-to-date data via cloud connectivity allows the equipment operator to see all of the design information on the panel in the cab while they are working. Going one step further, machine automation can also come into play. Machine control can actually take some of the work out of the operator’s hands while achieving the desired accuracy even more easily.”

Earthmoving and paving applications lend themselves well to machine control.

Equipment operators must work within tight tolerances with respect to things like material placement, grade, cross slope and compaction density. That is why motor graders, dozers, excavators and pavers are among the most common pieces of equipment utilizing machine control today. However, the potential for machine control spans much further.

“There is no piece of machinery within the construction industry that isn’t seeing this type of technology being used in some way,” said Adam Woods, general manager of innovation and product portfolio Strategies at LBX Company, manufacturer of Link-Belt excavation equipment.

“Even something like a compactor, which seems like a relatively simple product that just rolls back and forth, will benefit from machine control. Machine control helps determine how much compaction has taken

place, and if any further compaction is needed to meet the desired specs. Automation is even allowing machines to do that all on their own. It’s all in the aim of making job sites more efficient.”

That goes for smaller job sites and equipment, too.

“The utility of something like a compact track loader, paired with the benefits of a technology like grade control, is really a winning combination,” said Sean Mairet, group product manager of Grade Control at John Deere.

Less Rework, Less Waste Everything starts with the accuracy a machine control system helps deliver. Take grade control, for instance. The most advanced system, 3D grade control, deservedly receives a lot of praise. But even a more entry-level 2D system produces meaningful results.

A 2D grade control system helps eliminate inaccurate digging by guiding the operator as they dig. The operator specifies key parameters such as depth and slope in the software. A sensory system on the machine then measures those datapoints as the machine digs, providing visual and/or audible coaching to the operator via a display screen in the cab.

“This level of machine control is based on plane and slope,” Mairet explained. “It’s an ideal solution on projects that don’t require a complex site design, such as sloping terrain away from a house. The operator tells the machine they want to maintain a 2 percent slope, for example, and the 2D grade control system controls the blade or bucket to achieve that. From this standpoint, even a 2D system can help save a lot of time and material by not over-cutting or over-digging.”

Modern 3D grade management takes accuracy to another level. In fact, certain systems can help equipment operators achieve accuracy up to a millimeter. 3D systems also are more sophisticated.

3D systems tie into position information and a site design to pinpoint where a machine is located at all times. The position information is provided by either satellites (i.e. GNSS) or an onsite surveying instrument called a total station. Each has its own advantages. Regardless, the precision accuracy of 3D grade control can lead to even greater gains in efficiency and resource optimization.

Case in point, industry estimates suggest that construction projects see a 10 to 20 percent reduction in material use when grade control is deployed. That means the amount of asphalt and concrete saved on public road construction projects each year is enough to pave a two-lane highway from Chicago to

Phoenix. That has a direct financial implication for not only construction companies, but also everyday citizens. By increasing accuracy and reducing waste, taxpayers saved approximately $3.6 billion in material costs on public road construction projects in 2022 alone.

Grade control also can have a positive impact on project scheduling. Time is money on construction projects. When operating equipment with machine control, Woods has seen some construction companies improve productivity by 30 to 50 percent.

“Think about a project like an irrigation canal,” Woods said. “If that canal is 1,000feet-long with a 0.3 percent slope, that slope isn’t changing much from spot to spot.

Machine control is able to constantly check

“On average, 52 percent of all rework globally is caused by poor data and missed communication.”

Brad Viernow Leica Geosystems

that slope so it’s accurate. That’s where productivity can really climb, because the operator isn’t having to repeatedly stop and check grade. It’s almost unheard of anymore, but some contractors are even finishing projects ahead of schedule when using this technology.”

“We’ve found that 35 percent of working time on a job site is spent on non-valueadding activities,” Viernow added.

“Additionally, rework can create an average of 10 percent schedule growth. Machine control helps reduce a lot of this waste throughout the construction process. By simply moving the right dirt the first time, you can really reduce a lot of waste on a job site.”

Taking Control of Safety Machine control technologies like grade control can also help reduce safety-related incidents on a job site.

“Without technology like this, you need surveyors, civil engineers and other people on a job site to be constantly checking grade,” Woods said. “They are constantly walking up to and around the machine. They are oftentimes working within a trench. With grade control technology, you reduce the need for these people to place themselves in these potentially unsafe environments.”

There also are safety-specific machine control features that are helping enhance job

sites. A camera system is the first thing that comes to mind. Cameras give equipment operators enhanced visibility all around a machine, oftentimes calling attention to people and objects that are getting dangerously close to that machine.

As important as that type of operator guidance system is, machine control has the ability to do much more. Technology is capable of actually stopping a machine when a potential collision is detected. Additionally, Viernow said 3D avoidance zones can be created by leveraging another key construction technology, geofencing.

“Let’s say a person is operating an excavator in an area with a powerline right above them,” Viernow related. “Through locationbased geofencing, the operator could set up an automatic stop so the excavator arm couldn’t extend beyond a certain point.”

That makes things much safer and less stressful for the operator, which is one of the core objectives of machine control.

Refilling Skilled Operator Pipeline In addition to making equipment safer and more productive, machine control also makes equipment easier to operate. By improving accuracy and taking over certain functions, machine control can help operators become proficient in less time and fatigued far less often.

“It isn’t easy to hop into a piece of construction equipment and start doing what these operators are asked to do,” Mairet said.

“Technology like grade control can help operators get comfortable and productive a lot faster. Even people who’ve been operating equipment for many years will benefit from technology that lightens their workload. That leads to happier and more productive operators.”

“With machine guidance, you can take a proficient operator and make them distinguished,” Woods added. “With machine control, a novice operator could learn to cut grade within a day or so of using the equipment. Without this type of technology, the necessary training could take months, if not years.”

To that point, machine control is one solution to the growing skilled labor shortage the construction industry is facing. Machine control allows equipment operators to rely on real-time data and semiautonomous operation, as opposed to intuition and decades of skill refinement.

“Machine control technologies are really modernizing the workflow,” Mairet said.

“Good operators and surveyors have always been able to maintain grade. Machine control is just making that process much safer and more efficient. Machine control is really a modern approach to how we shape our world.” 

Kenworth T680 100th Signature Edition Hauls 2023 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree A Kenworth 100th Anniversary T680 Signature Edition, assembled by employees at Kenworth’s manufacturing plant in Chillicothe, Ohio, recently returned to the plant with special cargo — the 2023 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree.

The T680 Signature Edition, operated by Werner Enterprises drivers Tim Dean and Jesus Davila, stopped at the Kenworth Chillicothe plant for a private event on Nov. 8 so Kenworth employees could see “The People’s Tree” before it completes its journey to Washington, D.C. This year’s U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, a 63-ft. Norway Spruce, was harvested from the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia on Nov. 1. Since its harvest, Davila and Dean have transported the tree to communities throughout West Virginia for special events as part of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Tour.

This year’s tour theme is “Endlessly Wild & Wonderful.”

“Our employees take a lot of pride in building Kenworth trucks, and for the T680 Signature Edition to return to where it was built with this year’s U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, was really special,” said Doug VanZuiden, Kenworth Chillicothe plant manager. “This event was a great way for us to kick off the holiday season, and we look forward to the tree lighting ceremony at our nation’s capital.”

Werner Enterprises is this year’s official designated tour carrier and selected Dean and Davila to transport the 2023 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree. Kenworth supplied the T680

Stellar Industries Unveils Its Newest Bale-Style Pull-Handle Toolbox System Stellar Industries, a 100 percent employee-owned and -operated manufacturer of mechanic trucks, cranes, tire service trucks, hooklifts, trailers and service truck and van accessories, announced the launch of its bale-style pull-handle toolbox system.

This new addition to Stellar’s product lineup will not only replace the existing pull-handle toolbox system but also introduce several beneficial improvements, the manufacturer said.

Designed with user convenience and versatility in mind, the bale-style pull-handle toolbox system features a unique dual-action handle design that allows users to activate the latches by grabbing the handle from either above or below. This easy-to-use design offers a more ergonomic and userfriendly experience. Stellar is proud to be the first to introduce this handle style to the market, setting a new standard for toolbox system design and flexibility in the industry.

“We are thrilled to launch another

high-quality product that meets the evolving needs of our customers,” said Tim Davison, vice president of sales and marketing at Stellar. “Our team has worked hard to create a toolbox system that not only enhances functionality but also provides an attractive and durable solution. This product is sure to enhance the way people interact with their toolbox systems.”

Customers can count on a smooth switchover to the new toolbox system; the new bale-style pull-handle toolbox system will replace the existing pull-handle toolbox system seamlessly at the time of launch. What’s more, this innovative design will utilize 90 percent of the toolbox system parts from Stellar’s Thandle version, allowing for an easy upgrade. The drawer front assembly on a T-handle toolbox system can be directly replaced with a pull-handle front assembly. Additionally,

the new toolbox system will continue to carry Stellar’s lifetime warranty, ensuring peace of mind.

The new toolbox system is designed with all metal components, including metal latches and handles, ensuring durability and longevity. In addition, drawer fronts are anodized, but customers will have the option to paint them to suit their individual preferences and styles.

Comparing Brine Sprayers, Anti-Icing Liquids

By Brett Hart SPECIAL TO CEG

If you’re in the snow and ice removal industry, you’ve undoubtedly heard about salt brine or brine sprayers. But if you’re new to the industry those terms may leaving you asking the question, “What is salt brine?”

What Is Salt Brine?

Salt brine is a term commonly used to describe an anti-icing pretreatment liquid used by commercial snow and ice removal

professionals on everything from highways and city streets to sidewalks, stairs and parking lots.

Like other salt-based de-icing products, salt brine lowers the freezing temperature of water, meaning that it must get much colder outside for the rain, sleet and snow that falls onto these surfaces to freeze and adhere to the roadways or walkways. It is especially helpful in areas where ice would typically adhere fastest, such as bridges or overpasses.

That lower freezing temperature is the reason salt brine can be available in liquid form as the salt (sodium chloride) is dis-

Boomless sprayer system

solved in water to make it sprayable. At a roughly 23 percent concentration, salt brine has a freezing point of -6 F. Sometimes beet juice is used to lower the freezing temperature of salt brine as low as -20 F, depending on the concentration.

KAGE Innovation offers LiquidRage, a versatile 150-gal. boomless brine sprayer designed for use with anti-ice liquids.

Anti-icing boom sprayer

ers for ice control at even lower temperatures. Those include: see BRINE page 76

Which Anti-Icing Chemicals Come in Liquid Brine Form?

While salt brine is the most commonly-used form of anti-icing pretreatment, due in part to its affordability, there also are numerous chemical options used by municipalities and professional snow fight-

Brine, Anti-Icing Applications Have Different Effects BRINE from page 74

• Calcium Magnesium Acetate (-17.5 F freezing point at ~33 percent concentration) • Magnesium Chloride (-28 F freezing point at ~22 percent concentration) • Calcium Chloride (-63 F freezing point at ~30 percent concentration) • Potassium Acetate (-76 F freezing point at ~49 percent concentration) How to Spray Salt Brine?

Depending on the type and size of area you need to spray with salt brine you can find different kinds of sprayers with various sizes of tanks designed to work on equipment such as: • trucks (up to 2,642 gal.)

• tow behind trailers (up to 4,035 gal.)

• tractors (up to 500 gal. on 3-point hitch) • skid steers (up to 1,025 gal.)

• UTVs (up to 150 gal.)

• front end loaders (up to 150 gal.)

Generally liquid anti-icing sprayers deliver the liquids in two different ways — boom sprayers and boomless sprayers. Boom sprayers typically dispense the brine spraying downward to penetrate lightly covered surface while boomless sprayers dispense outward for larger coverage of snow- and ice-free surfaces.

Most brine sprayers will be able to accommodate each type of anti-icing brine but be careful if you decide to mix beet juice in with your salt brine as it can plug filters or gum up valves as it tends to be sticky in nature.

How Much Does Salt Brine Weigh?

Just because a sprayer tank can hold large quantities of brine, doesn’t always mean it should. You also should take into account the weight of both the sprayer system and its contents and make sure that your carrier or machine is up to the task.

Keep in mind that salt brine, mixed at a 23 percent concentration, includes roughly 2.5 lbs. of sodium chloride and 7.5 lbs. of water per gal. of brine. This means each gallon of brine weighs 10 lbs.

To put this in perspective, KAGE has put together a quick guide below for reference on the brine weight you should expect at different quantities.

• 50 gal. of salt brine = 500 lbs.

• 100 gal. = 1,000 lbs.

• 150 gal. = 1,500 lbs.

• 250 gal. = 2,500 lbs.

• 500 gal. = 5,000 lbs.

• 1,000 gal. = 10,000 lbs.

• 2,000 gal. = 20,000 lbs.

• 4,000 gal. = 40,000 lbs.

Be sure to check how much weight your machine is designed to handle.

apply. If the storm has passed, plowing has taken place and another storm is moving in, it’s also best to re-apply to maximize the effectiveness of its ice-repelling superpower.

When Should Anti-Icing Brine Be Applied?

Salt brine should be applied up to 48 hours before a winter storm to prevent ice and snow build up. It also can be used to prevent frost and black ice for up to three days.

Calcium magnesium acetate should be applied just before or within the first couple hours of a storm. Some companies selling this type of de-icer claim it lasts three times as long as other anti-icing chemicals.

Magnesium chloride should be applied during snowstorms while the roads or other surfaces are wet.

Calcium chloride should be applied up to 48 hours before heavy snow and works well with rock salt that is often applied during and after snowstorms.

Like most pre-treatment brines, potassium acetate should be applied up to 48 hours in advance of a storm.

Liquid ice melt pretreatments lose effectiveness after 72 hours and can wash away or wear away. If it is applied more than 48 hours in advance of a storm, it’s best to re-

LiquidRage Brine Sprayer KAGE Innovation offers a versatile 150gal. boomless brine sprayer designed for use with all the previously-mentioned anti-ice liquids (except beet juice). It can be used on everything from skid steers to tractors to front end loaders and UTVs. Its 150-gal. capacity is the largest in the front end loader and UTV sprayer market.

This ice-fighting brine sprayer offers two different types of valve kits for applying the liquids.

The standard nozzle kit sprays mostly downward to cover swaths up to 10 ft. wide and are designed to penetrate small amounts of hard-packed snow.

The broadcast nozzle kit offers the ability to spray farther to the side on either side of the tank — or both sides, giving up to a 30ft. wide swath option. These nozzles work best when applying to already clear asphalt.  (This article was reprinted with the permission of KAGE Innovation. All photos courtesy of KAGE Innovation.)

Drones Proving to Be Indispensible for Site Monitoring TECHNOLOGY from page 1

In construction design and planning applications, AI technology synthesizes information, detects patterns and draws conclusions much like humans. It offers the ability to ramp up and streamline tasks in ways the industry has not been able to achieve up to now.

Analyzing vast amounts of data, the technology offers options that give better information, models and alternatives for making decisions.

“As the construction industry embraces the digital era, AIpowered tools are proving to be transformative,” said Ashi Soni, senior manager, sustainability of Bloom Energy.

She said a wide range of technologies, from drones to autonomous vehicles are reshaping the future of infrastructure development.

“The construction sector can anticipate even more innovative solutions … in the quest to build the roads and bridges of tomorrow.”

Redefining Construction Planning Beginning with drones, Soni noted seven “cutting-edge” AI tools that she said are revolutionizing the infrastructure building process. She believes drones are becoming indispensable in the area of construction site monitoring.

Providing real-time aerial views, the devices are helping project managers assess progress, identify issues and make informed decisions.

“AI algorithms can analyze drone-captured data to detect anomalies, measure stockpile volumes and monitor worker safety, optimizing project management,” she said.

When it comes to precision project planning, machine learning algorithms are impressing infrastructure designers, said Soni.

Used to analyze factors such as historical data, weather patterns, traffic conditions, these algorithms generate accurate construction schedules.

“By predicting potential delays and optimizing resource allocation, machine learning enhances project timelines and minimizes budget overruns,” said Soni.

Autonomous construction vehicles, including heavy machines such as dozers and excavators, navigate construction sites safely and efficiently.

Applying advanced computer vision and sensor technology, these machines increase productivity work continuously without human operators.

The result, said Soni, is reduced labor costs and overall enhanced project speed toward completion.

Smart materials, integrated with AI technology, have the ability to monitor their own structural health, added Soni.

“These materials are embedded with sensors and AI algorithms that can detect signs of wear, damage or stress.”

Real-time monitoring furthers proactive maintenance and prevents potential failures. The result is longer pavement and bridge life.

AI tools can help identify potential risks and provide actionable insights into risk management when used in predictive analytics. Analyzing vast amounts of data, including project history, weather conditions and supplier performance, AI allows project managers to mitigate risks. The result of AI-driven predictive analytics is more resilient and successful construction projects, said Soni.

Augmented reality is changing the way designs are visualized and construction teams are trained, she said. AR applications allow engineers and architects to overlay digital models onto the physical construction site.

With AI technology, bridge inspectors can monitor aging structures remotely in real-time.

These tools enable “a better understanding of spatial relationships and potential clashes,” said Soni. “Additionally, AR is being used for training purposes, providing immersive simulations for construction workers to enhance safety and proficiency.”

Site managers are harnessing a subset of AI for real-time quality control on construction job sites.

Computer vision joins high-resolution cameras and AI algorithms to analyze construction elements such as welding joints and concrete quality, said Soni.

The technology ensures these elements meet specified construction standards to not only improve infrastructure quality.

Computer vision features help reduce the need for manual inspections, saving time and resources, she said.

Projecting Enormous Potential In a New York Times article, Colbi Edmonds wrote that

Analyzing vast amounts of data, AI offers options for better information, models and decision-making alternatives.

engineers are looking to AI to build more resilient projects for less money.

A consortium is currently at work on two AI projects in partnership with Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation and its Turnpike Commission.

“These are structures, with the tools that we have, that save materials, save costs, save everything,” said Amir Alavi, University of Pittsburgh engineering professor.

A member of the AI research consortium, Alavi sees enormous potential for more cost effective and creative new approaches to familiar tasks.

“But experts caution against embracing the technology too quickly when it is largely unregulated and its payoffs remain largely unproven,” said Edmonds.

Some in the industry worry about AI’s ability to design infrastructure in a process with regulators and participants operating over a long period of time.

“Others worry that AI’s ability to draw instantly from the entirety of the Internet could lead to flawed data that produces unreliable results,” said Edmonds.

Aging pavement means “infrastructure challenges are significant,” said Abdollah Shafieezadeh, professor at Ohio State University.

The Pennsylvania research showcases the potential AI offers in addressing many of these challenges.

The Pennsylvania DOT will use more durable concrete blocks, that require 20 percent less material, to build a bridge.

The Turnpike Commission is engineering a more efficient noise-absorbing wall that also will capture some of the nitrous oxide emitted from vehicles. The plan is to build it in an area highly affected by highway sound pollution. Alavi noted the designs will save approximately 30 percent of material costs.

These new projects have not been tested in the field, but see TECHNOLOGY page 84

“When we reach out to new customers, we often get one of two reactions. Firstly, ‘thank you for coming to see us’ because we do go and meet our customers. And ‘tell me more about Yoder & Frey’, as we have been modestly going about our business and doing it well, people sometimes don’t comprehend the size, scale and reach of the organization and the services we can offer.

So, we say to those that haven’t worked with Yoder & Frey, we’re here to support you and help you realize the best price for your assets. Just try us, we think you will be surprised and glad you did. Once customers try Yoder & Frey, they never go back.

“We understand that for customers trying a new auctioneer may be a little like changing your make of motor vehicle. We each become loyal to a brand, reluctant to change and stuck in our choices, perhaps knowing of no alternative. Another reason consumers don’t change is that they have not been introduced to a viable alternative option.

Thinking there is safety in the known. So, is the unknown scary? Is changing difficult?

Not with Yoder & Frey. Come and talk to us at Kissimmee, between the 15th and 17th February 2024, or before, and we think you’ll be surprised,” said Thurston.  Time: Where:

UCF Looks for Tools to Help Improve Infrastructure Health TECHNOLOGY from page 78

they have been successful in the lab environment, he said.

Engineers see great potential in AI to prevent and detect damage so that money could be saved in the long run.

Instead of investing large sums of money in repair projects, engineers and transportation agencies could identify problems early on.

This technology is capable of providing an analysis of what is happening in real time and could deploy emergency responses, said Seyede Fatemeh Ghoreishi, a professor at Northeastern University.

“But, as in many fields, there are increasingly more conversations about the relationship between AI, human work and physical safety,” said Edmonds.

She pointed out that although AI has proved helpful in many uses, tech leaders have testified before Congress, pushing for regulations.

“And … President Biden issued an executive order for a range of AI standards, including safety, privacy and support for workers.”

Edmonds believes experts also are worried about the spread of disinformation from AI systems.

The technology operates by integrating already available data, so if that data is incorrect or biased, the AI will generate faulty conclusions.

“It really is a great tool, but it really is a tool you should use just for a first draft at this point,” said Norma Jean Mattei, a former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers. “Once it develops, I’m confident that we’ll get to a point where you’re less likely to get issues. We’re not there yet.”

Edmonds said there also is concern about the lack of AI standards in the construction industry at present.

“There is rising concern about car crashes involving autonomous vehicles, but for now, automakers do not have to abide by any federal software safety testing regulations.”

Monitoring Structural Health University of Central Florida researchers are at work on inventions that help improve infrastructure health.

“Structural health monitoring is an area of need internationally,” said Necati Catbas, UCF engineering professor.

He believes these new technologies can help track the

Research projects across the country are tackling applications for AI that will alleviate hazards to humans in the inspection and repair of transportation infrastructure including bridges, roadways and other civil structures.

aging process of civil infrastructure systems.

“By better understanding their conditions, we can anticipate risks and better prioritize infrastructure investments,” he said.

Traditional onsite visual inspection can be both time-consuming and costly, not to mention the hazards posed by aging or damaged structures.

Catbas is leading the AI research that hopes to develop technologies to help alleviate these issues and others.

One invention employs computer vision, which he believes can complement sensors and visual inspection. He said it’s practical because it doesn’t require access structures such as bridges, buildings or towers.

“We can use the camera, and by analyzing the images, we

can extract meaningful information about these bridges and buildings.”

Using cameras stationed on or around a structure, the system allows for a safe assessment of a structure’s load-worthiness and serviceability remotely.

The second UCF invention in the works uses VR and AR to analyze structures via “virtual visits.”

VR provides a computer-simulated environment, while AR overlays content onto views of a real-world environment.

“I can virtually be on a damaged bridge in Florida discussing decisions with colleagues who might be in California,” said Catbas.

Like the first invention, the visualization system provides damage detection and load-carrying information about a structure using cameras and sensors.

Other tools such as robots, drones, LiDAR scanners and infrared thermography cameras are also utilized.

Level of Reassurance The concern, too, is that these technologies will replace humans, eliminating jobs as they streamline construction.

Engineering experts believe where infrastructure projects are concerned, AI is a tool for humans, not as a substitute for them.

Lola Ben-Alon, an assistant professor of architecture technology at Columbia University is optimistic.

“There’s still a strong and important place for human existence and experience” in the field of engineering, she said.

Uncertainty may make the acquisition of funding for future AI research more of a challenge, but the engineering community is undaunted.

Alavi said his work throughout his career has shown him just how serious the potential risks from AI are.

But he remains ever confident: “After 10, 12 years, this is going to change our lives.”  CEG

Terex Advance Signs Letter of Intent to Integrate, Offer Cummins X15H Engine Cummins Inc., a global power solutions provider, and Terex Advance, a leading manufacturer of front-discharge concrete mixer trucks, announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) to integrate Cummins’ X15H hydrogen internal combustion engines into the Terex Advance Commander Series.

“As the global need to reduce emissions becomes stronger, we are actively pursuing practical, cost-effective strategies to help our ready-mix customers decarbonize.

Cummins’ X15H is a feasible zero-carbon option for our renowned front-discharge mixer trucks, and we are eagerly anticipating the future deployment of this technology,” said David Grabner, general manager at Terex Advance.

Currently powered by Cummins diesel engines, the Terex Advance Commander Series will include a zero-carbon hydrogen fuel option when series production of Cummins’ X15H engines begins later this decade.

“Hydrogen internal combustion engines provide a viable zero-carbon fuel option for heavy-duty, high-performance applications like concrete mixer trucks, which are often subject to arduous duty-cycles and tough terrain,” said Jim Nebergall, general manager, Cummins Hydrogen Engine Business.

“It is exciting to see OEMs like Terex Advance leading the way in zero-carbon technologies, particularly in complex

sectors like vocational trucking.”

Part of Cummins’ industry-first fuel agnostic platform, the X15H is based on familiar internal combustion engine technology. Integration into the truck chassis is straightforward and does not require major overhaul of vehicle designs or business operations. Significant commonality between the X15H and Cummins’ existing diesel platforms facilitates scale advantages in parts procurement and supports existing maintenance practices.

“We believe that hydrogen internal combustion engines will play an essential part in decarbonizing both on- and offhighway applications. With diesel-like power and torque the X15H gives our customers a power option that delivers, no matter how hard their trucks work, or how tough the operating environment is,” said Nebergall.

Hydrogen internal combustion engines enable vocational applications to comply with the EPA’s proposed greenhouse gas (GHG) Phase 3 standard, while still meeting critical performance requirements.

This latest LOI signals growing global customer interest in hydrogen internal combustion engine technology, with previous letters signed by several truck fleet customers, a global truck OEM and an agricultural tractor manufacturer.
