FabickCatFieldServiceTechEarnsHonoraryTrooperAward

It was a typical summer day in July when Justin Parrack, a Fabick Cat field service technician, was traveling to a customer job site in Bolivar, Mo.While driving northbound on Highway 13, a vehicle in front of him swerved into the median and continued to drive between the north and southbound lanes.

Without pause, Parrack pulled parallel tothevehicletofindanunconsciousdriver. As the distressed vehicle started to slow, Parrack stopped his service truck, jumped out and, alongside another civilian who stopped to help, the two men chased the vehicle down on foot. They were able to get the driver’s door open, climb in and stop the vehicle before it headed into oncoming traffic.

In what Parrack calls luck, others call heroism.

“I called 911 while the unconscious driver was getting CPR,” he said. “We ended up just really getting lucky. I wouldn’tcallmyselfahero.I’mjustaguy trying to do the right thing.”

Parrack stayed on the scene until released by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

“As a multi-generational, family-owned business, Fabick Catiscommittedtobeingactivelyinvolvedinsupportingthe communities where we live and work. And Justin’s actions represent the pinnacle of our organization’s mission,” said Jimmy Greer, regional product support manager of Fabick Cat.

Greer relayed this to the leadership team upon hearing of Parrack’s actions while on the job.

“Knowing the motorist was heading into oncoming traffic, we will never know how many lives Justin saved that

day,” he said.

Recently, Parrack reunited with the other civilian who jumped into action, the man who suffered from the medical emergency while driving that day and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Both heroes were presented with the Honorary Trooper award.

“We are incredibly proud of Justin and, truthfully, we are honored to have him part of the Fabick Cat family,” said John Fabick IV, presi-

dent of Fabick Cat. “The Honorary Trooper award is the highest honor for a civilian from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. And I couldn’t be prouder to see him accept his extremely well-deserved award wearing the Fabick Cat name with pride.”

ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023 Announces Event Space Sells Out

ConExpo-Con/AGG, already recognized as the largest trade show in North America, hasofficiallysoldallavailableexhibitspace, guaranteeing the 2023 edition of the show will be the biggest in history.

“The addition of the new West Hall and Diamond Lot at the Las Vegas Convention Center gave us, and our exhibitors, a number of new opportunities to show how we are taking the construction industry to the next level,” said ConExpo-Con/AGG Show Director Dana Wuesthoff. “Now at 2.8 million square feet of exhibits, there’s more for construction pros to see than ever before.”

The show, now nearly 5 percent bigger than the record set in 2020, will feature

1,800 exhibitors and 150 education sessions during its run from March 14 to 18, 2023.

Despite being the largest ConExpoCon/AGG ever, recent additions to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) will make it the easiest to get around as well. Beneath the entire LVCC campus runs the Convention Center Loop, an underground transportation system designed by Elon Musk’s The Boring Company that transports convention attendees throughout the campus in under two minutes in Tesla vehicles, free of charge.

“We are excited to welcome ConExpoCon/AGG back to Las Vegas for another record-setting event,” said Brian Yost, chief

operating officer of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), which owns and operates the LVCC. “The addition of the West Hall and the Convention Center Loop will only further enhance the ‘Only Vegas’ experience for attendees and exhibitors.”

Construction pros are ready for the show to return as well. The current pace of attendee registration is nearly double what it was at this time for the 2020 show.

“This is the event that construction professionals, especially those making company-level decisions, and those needing professional development hours, can’t miss,” said ConExpo-Con/AGG Show Chair and

“Seeing the new equipment and techniques on a screen doesn’t compare to seeing it all in person.At the show, you can see the equipment, ask questions of the manufacturers themselves, and really understand what the equipment and education can do for your career and business.”

Registration for ConExpo-Con/AGG and IFPE is currently 30 percent off with code MEDIA30. Construction and fluid power pros should get their badges before Jan. 6, 2023, to get that discount and have a better pick of hotel accommodations.

AGCof Minnesota... Minnesota Construction Industry ReleasesAssessment

AssociatedGeneralContractors of Minnesota released the 20222023 Minnesota Construction Industry Assessment results. This valuable tool provides a unique snapshot of the projected Minnesota construction market, construction business challenges and other influences that impact thearchitect,engineeringandconstruction (AEC) economy. There are countless survey tools being solicited across the industry, but only the AGC Industry AssessmentcoverstheentireAEC spectrum and focuses exclusively on the construction discipline, according to the association.

“Overall, there is less optimism that market demand for construction services will remainstrongin2023duetopersistentinflationary headwinds, a continued lack of workforce availability and stubborn supply chain challenges,” said Tim Worke, CEO. “Labor costs continue to lead as the top negative factor affecting businesses, while project funding and technology advances are the

top positive indicators.”

Key findings of the assessment:

• Strong demand for workers persists.The outlook for hiring in 2023 is up slightly over 2022 responses and up significantly since the 2020 pandemic-influenced report. Sixty percent of responses overall report managerial and operational costs attributable to COVID have increased, an 11 percent jump from

2020 responses.

• Equipment demand for new purchases remainsstronginto2023,postinga9percent increase over 2022.

• The strongest market sector optimism continues to reside in alternative energy, with utility infrastructure and highway sectors also posting strong positives.

• Compared to last year, respondents

report increased difficulty finding diverse talent in their local market area and consistent challenges in recruiting needed diverse craft talent.All respondents report that overall, 36 percent of clients are now requiring a DEI plan to evaluate in the proposal process.

MUCA’s 10thAnnual ‘Day of the Dozers’Is Huge Success

In 2013, a handful of construction companies partnered with ERX Motor Park in Elk River, Minn., to give kids rides in dozers, backhoes and excavators. They charged $5 per kid to ride with a qualified operator, and all the money was donated to Children’s Minnesota.

Minnesota Utility Contractors Association (MUCA) is now celebrating its 10th year of hosting Day of the Dozers and has surpassed all previous records in attendance with 4,837 people coming through the gates on Sept. 24, 2022. MUCA exceeded its goal of $75,000 by raising $90,248 for Children’s Minnesota and had a record number of equipment pieces to ride, climb-on and play around. Of course, this wouldn’t be successful without an army of volunteers, sponsors and donors.

MUCA held its Annual Meeting on Nov. 2, 2022, and invited Mr. and Mrs. David Harn, the original creators of Day of the Dozers, to helpcelebrate10yearsofhostingtheevent.Theysharedtheirstoryof theirson'sexperienceatChildren'sasthereasonforstartingDayofthe Dozers. The Harns then generously donated $5,000 to put MUCA over the $500,000 mark in funds raised for Children’s in 10 years.

Following another MUCA donation, Children’s presented MUCA with a Day of the Dozer plaque placed in the newly built Children’s Youth Mental Health facility for raising $100,000 in 2022.

History

Ten years ago, Day of the Dozers started with less than 20 companies, approximately 15 pieces of equipment and managed to raise just more than $5,000. This year, with more than 85 companies sponsoringandsupportingtheevent,morethan 65 pieces of equipment were on site, including motor graders, wheel loaders, articulated and off-road trucks, 18 excavators,8bulldozers,tractor-loaderbackhoes, four-wheel drive tractors, compactors and several pieces of static equipment, such as cranes, dump trucks, low-boys and hydrovac trucks. In 10 years, MUCAhas raised $496,750 for families in need.

Trnsact Explains How F&I Transforms Sales Process for Dealers, Customers

In the third part of its Q&A series, Trnsact dives further into the finance and insurance (F&I) opportunity for commercial trucking and equipment dealers to discuss how it changes the life of the sales team and what it means to customers.

Brett Davis, president of the construction and agriculture division with Trnsact, has a lengthy career working with equipment dealers and helping them grow and increase profitability. He spent 25 years at CNH Industrial, serving as a president and chairman of CNH Industrial Capital, president of CNH Latin America Financial Services, vice president of New Holland North America, and president of Banco CNH Industrial Capital in Brazil.

In his time at CNH, he observed the missed opportunity to maximize revenue streams through a formal F&I function that adds points to financing and takes advantage of selling insurance, gap insurance, extended warranties and other valuable aftermarket products at the point of sale.

In part 1 and part 2 of the F&I opportunity conversation, Davis discussed the opportunity and the state of the market in equipment and commercial trucking. Now, we tackle how F&I would transform the life of a sales team and customers.

Moderator: If a dealer leans into selling F&I and other aftermarket products, how would that change? Like they’re the lives of their sales team? Could we discuss how that approach would impact the day-to-day of a sales rep?

Davis: I touched on that a little bit today with the lack of integration of all these different providers and systems. In other industries, there are “consolidators” or systems that have consolidated the information to make it a lot easier. This [makes it easier] for not only that person who’s in front of the customer, the salesperson, but also for the customers as well. There’s lots of opportunity you could set up and [technology] like that in our industry.

For the equipment industry — and quite frankly and that’s what [Trnsact] has been working on developing — we need technology to solve this problem and bring that consolidator to the equipment industry to make it a lot easier for everybody and [empowering

dealers to] generate profit [through F&I].

I can tell you I’ve heard from dealers that were proud to earn 1/10th of 1 percent of F&I revenue for their dealership. When I talked to them, I said, “you really think that that’s good?” … I’m like no, you need to be closer to that 1 percent range to really drive the profitability of your dealership. Now [with higher interest rates], maybe that’s a bit much. Maybe it’s half a point, but one-tenth is just not [acceptable].

[Regardless of the rate], it all comes down to making it easy, making it fluid, and allowing for ease of use. If that can be solved, then the opportunity to generate that additional revenue at your dealership is clearly the next step.

Moderator: I asked how [F&I inclusion in the sales process] changes things for the sales team, but it also changes things for the customers as well.

Davis: Absolutely. It’s easy to quote, and the information is there and they don’t have to go back and forth the systems. This wastes their time. [A single system] just makes it easier and it can happen very quickly and very naturally. As opposed to [the current process], where it is “Oh, let me get back to you on a quote for that and they get back to the quote for that.” I have to go into the system. I have to get a quote from another [lender or provider], I got to make a phone call here, and things like that….

[The addition of aftermarket products] needs to happen in a very transparent and very fluid way. And I will add, regardless of your industry, the expectations of the sales team and the expectations of the customers are defi-

nitely rising. Dealers need to respond.

The thing that I hear most from customers is the ease of use. They want everything easy and that goes for dealers too. They want to work with their service providers, they want to work with their OEMs, and with their banks, and insurance companies. They want these [through easy-to-systems] as well. We all do. That’s what we all strive for.

We talked about insurance quite a bit and a little bit we discussed warranties and maybe other aftermarket products that may be untapped the most, In a sense, I would say they’re out there today.

I mentioned earlier the attachment rates are pretty low. I honestly believe that if I had a big pool of used equipment that I was selling regularly, I would like to work with an insurance company but [would offer] a creative product that could be customized. That way, every piece of equipment that went out had my maintenance and my extended warranty on it.

As a dealer knowing that customer was covered for the next two or three years or whatever the case may be whatever their needs would call for. So I think that’s really critical. It’s so often overlooked. There’s a wealth of opportunity. Well, as I mentioned the attachment rates are so low, so woefully low...

I think it’s just an evolution. It’s not one thing or the other you can point to. It’s just an evolution in our industry, and I think it’s also a little bit of a lack of focus on the industry from certain providers to be able to consolidate this information, as well and make it easy to quote and easy to deliver to customers.

ASVUnveilsYanmar-PoweredRT-50FeaturingMorePower

ASVHoldingsInc.,amanufacturerofallpurpose and all-season compact track loaders and skid steers, introduces a new generation of the company’s RT-50 Posi-Track loader, now powered by aYanmar engine.

Thenewmachineboasts53.8hp,upafull 8 percent from the previous model. The repowered RT-50 also offers improved serviceability, allowing owners to have the Yanmar engine serviced atASV dealers.

In addition to these benefits, the new RT50 features new comfort, visibility and performance features, elevating the RT-50 as one of the top compact track loaders in both performanceandcomfortinitsclass,according to the manufacturer.

The Yanmar-powered RT-50 provides construction-grade performance in a small package, and is ideally suited for work in tight spaces, such as for rental, landscaping, construction, snow clearing and more.

“We often hear from customers that our RT-50 is the perfect blend of performance and mobility. Now, with the additional horsepower and new convenience features, that performance factor is dialed to eleven,” said Buck Storlie, ASV Holdings Inc. product manager. “And that’s before even mentioning the world-renowned reliability of the newYanmar engine.”

Power, Productivity

The repowered RT-50 features a more powerful new 53.8-hp Tier IV, 3-cylinder turbo charged Yanmar engine. The machine has a high tractive effort and exceptional pushing and digging power due to ASV’s Posi-Power system.

The compact track loader allows contractors to be more productive, with high performance due in part to a nimble 58.5-in. width, a 9.1-ft. lift height, a 1,400-lbs. rated operating capacity and a 7.1 mph top speed.

The RT-50’s industry standard quick attach fits a wide variety of attachments. New to the machine is an optional hydraulic quick attach that allows operators to change attachments from the comfort of the cab. The loader’s compact size allows it to be conveniently towed behind a 1/2-ton pickup truck, a fact that makes its performance capabilities even more impressive, the manufacturer said.

Variable auxiliary hydraulic flow comes standard, and the machine can operate efficiently at a high auxiliary circuit flow rate, powered by 13.3-gpm of pump capacity and 3,000 psi of system pressure.

ASV eliminates labor-intensive belt servicing through the use of a direct drive pump. This, along with the machine’s large line sizes and hydraulic coolers, transfers more flow and pressure directly to the attachment to help prevent power loss.

The RT-50 is tested to operate at full load

100 percent of the time in ambient temperatures from -40 F up to 118 F. This product is a highly efficient cooling system that allows operators to get more out of their machine.

Serviceability, Reliability

The RT-50’s Yanmar engine can be serviced atASV dealers. The ability to maintain the engine through ASV’s network of dealersgivescustomersmoreconvenientoptions when engine maintenance is required on a Yanmar engine already renowned for its longevity.

ASVdesigned the RT-50 so operators can spend less time servicing it and more time gettingworkdone.Itsrear-tiltinghoodoffers easyaccesstomaintenancepoints,including filters, oil and fuel tank reservoirs, hydraulic and water separator drains and the battery.

The compact track loader is built with a

heavy-duty frame, drive table and axles.The RT-50 features new wiring harness routing foradditionaldurability.Thedrivehoserouting and chassis sealing are designed for reduced rubbing, creating fewer line breaks and boosting hose longevity. Metal-face seals on the front and back ensure the drive hubs do not require maintenance for the life of the machine. An optional bumper or bumperandlimbrisercanbeaddedforadditional hood protection in tough applications, such as rental or brush cutting.

ASV backs up its promise of reliability witha2-year,2,000-hourwarranty.Thewarranty includes a no-derailment guarantee and coversthetracksfortheentirewarrantyperiod.

Comfort, Ease of Operation

The repowered RT-50 brings brand new

comfort features to its compact cab. A single-sided lap bar makes entry and exit easier and provides operators with more hip room. Partially adjustable armrests and a tall cab improves comfort for operators of different sizes. The pressurized cab option also provides a cleaner in-cab environment.

Optional all-weather cabs include heat and air conditioning. ASV also offers additional comfort features, including a cup holder, phone mount and DC outlet.

A new 4.3-in. color display and standard hydraulic joystick controls puts full commandofthemachineattheoperator’sfingertips.Plus,anewdrivetransmissionallowsfor moreprecisepowerandfine-tunedoperation.

The machine also includes visibility improvements over its predecessor. A new framelessfrontdoorincludesfloor-to-ceiling glass area, allowing operators to better see their work and attachments. The cab’s large side and rear windows provide additional linesofsight.Thisisfurtherimprovedbythe bright rear LED light and adjustable front pedestal lighting. An optional backup camera is available to replace the standard rearview mirror for additional convenience and visibility.

Posi-Track Benefits

ASVdesignsitsPosi-Trackandskid-steer loaders independently to provide customers with the highest performance from each machine. The RT-50’s dedicated frame results in a 14.4-in, ground clearance, higher than any walk-behind or stand-on loader, as well as many larger machines. The unit can travel over rocks, logs, stumps and other obstacles with less risk of getting hung up, according to the manufacturer.

ASV’s Posi-Track system features a flexible track and an open-rail and internal positive drive-sprocket undercarriage, allowing for greater traction, longer wear life and faster, more convenient undercarriage cleaning. Posi-Track loaders also have a high number of ground contact points, spreading the machine’s weight evenly.As a result, the RT-50 features an industry-low 3.0 psi ground pressure, reducing the risk of damage to turf.

Optional smooth turf tracks make the machineevenmoredesirableforuseonsensitive turf by minimizing risk of damage. The low ground pressure leads to better flotation and traction on steep, slippery and wet ground. It also enhances control and pushingcapabilities.Thewide,flexibletrack maintainsmorecontactwiththegroundthan other designs, helping to virtually eliminate the risk of track derailment.

The new RT-50 Posi-Track loader boasts a 53.8 hp Yanmar engine, up a full 8 percent from the previous model.

John Deere Unveils G-Tier Compact Wheel Loader Models

John Deere is building upon its lineup of compact equipment by expanding its performance tiering strategy with three new models of compact wheel loaders.

ThenewG-tiermodels,includingthenew 184G-tier,andthe204G-tierand304G-tier machines, were designed to include proven capabilities and are ideal for customers in need of a dependable machine to complete everydaytasks,accordingtothemanufacturer.

The G-tier compact wheel loader models also are practically equipped, providing proven capabilities with the reliability and ruggedness customers expect from John Deere machines.

“As we learned from launching our performance tiering strategy on our utility loaderline-uplastyear,customer’sneedsare unique and they require personalized solutions to meet their diverse set of tasks,” said Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager, JohnDeereConstructionandForestryDivision.

“That’s why we chose to expand our performance tiering strategy with the introduction of the G-tier compact wheel loader models. These machines are not only rugged, but they boast simple and intuitive machine controls that are a great fit for operators of all experience levels, while also offering options that promote operator comfort and productivity.”

The 184, 204 and 304 G-tier compact wheel loaders provide solutions for customers in applications such as landscaping, agriculture, snow removal, site development andrentalwithoutsacrificingtheworld-class John Deere quality, the manufacturer said.

The G-tier models offer optimal performance with lower maintenance costs. With convenience and productivity top of mind, these easy-to-operate models come standard withlimitedslipdifferential,whichautomatically engages if one wheel loses traction, providing enhanced safety for the operator and the machine. The optional ride-control reduces spillage from the bucket when traveling over rough terrain, reducing job site clean-up, and improving ride quality for the operator and also can be set to engage and disengage at certain speeds.

Featured on all G-tier models, the forward-thinkingcabdesignisofferedinbotha canopy or enclosed cab configuration, giving operators flexibility when working in a variety of different geographies. Built with operator visibility in mind, the redesigned enclosedcabfeaturesaframeless,fullyglass door, floor-to-ceiling front windshield and remounted machine display, providing a clear line of sight to machine surroundings. Theright-sidefullglasswindowalsoswings out 180 degrees to further enhance overall visibility for the operator.

Additional features include an adjustable steering column, slip-resistant steps and an optional LED lighting package. The spacious cab includes amenities such as improved air conditioning systems and ergonomic low-effort controls (when compared to John Deere LSeries compact wheel loaders) to keep operators comfortable during a long shift.

All G-tier models offer enhanced serviceability features such as ground-level service and increased capacity fuel tanks to help simplify daily maintenance, keeping machines up and running on the job. This allows operators to spend more time completing the tasks at hand, rather than performing on-site repairs or maintenance. The strategically placed cooling package minimizes contamination from debris build-up, optimizing efficiency and reducing cleanout time (when compared to John Deere L Series compact wheel loaders).

The smaller G-tier models, including the

184 G-tier and 204 G-tier, were designed to provide customers with a rugged, compact designhelpingtheoperatormaneuverwithin the tightest areas while maintaining complete control of the machine. With a canopy height of 8 in. and 5 ft. 10 in. in width, these machines are nimble enough to fit through smaller barn door openings or other smaller areas, making them an ideal solution for job sites of all sizes.

The new 0.9- cu. yd. bucket is optimally sized that pairs with the 184 G-tier and 204 G-tier and can be attached to either a QuikTatch or hook-style coupler.

The largest of the three new models, the 304 G-tier, delivers productivity enhancementswhilealsoretainingmanyofitspreviousfeaturesthatresultinhigherproductivity (when compared to John Deere L Series compact wheel loaders), especially in applications such as site development, roadbuilding, and snow removal.

In response to customer feedback, the

travel speed of the 304 G-tier has increased to 18.6 mph from 12 mph, seen on the 304L model. This enhancement allows the machine to accomplish tasks and move around job sites in less time. The design of the 304 G-tier offers improved operator visibility (when compared to John Deere L Series compact wheel loaders) and overall machine stability with the increased machinesize,whichisnowmeasuredat8ft. 8 in. tall with cab and 6 ft. 5 in. wide. This compact wheel loader model also comes equipped with an optional attachment assist package, including proportional mini-joystick 3rd function control with detent, combined creep control & throttle lock, and integrated electrical attachment controls (3Pin).

The John Deere 184, 204, and 304 G-tier compactwheelloadersarenowavailablefor purchase in the United States and Canada.

The new G-tier models, including the new 184 G-tier, and the 204 G-tier and 304 G-tier machines, were designed to include proven capabilities and are ideal for customers in need of a dependable machine to complete everyday tasks, according to the manufacturer.

Hitachi’s Mini-Excavator

Offers Full-Size Features

The ZX50U-5N offers plenty of height and reach to get up and over truck sideboards with a maximum reach of 19 ft. 7 in. (5.96 m). It also provides a maximum dig depth of 11 ft. 7 in. (3.53 m).

Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas Inc. (HCMA) announced the arrival of the ZX50U-5N excavator, a compact machine with full-size features.

With its reduced tail-swing design, the compact, yet powerful, 10,560-lb. (4,790kg) ZX50U-5N is perfect for working in congested areas. An independent swing boom and 360-degree rotation let you set up and work almost anywhere. Plus, virtually unlimited visibility and precise control make it a great tool for excavating around existing utilities.

This excavator is a smart choice for trenching, excavating, loading trucks and other tasks in wide-open spaces, according to the manufacturer.

The ZX50U-5N offers plenty of height andreachtogetupandovertrucksideboards with a maximum reach of 19 ft. 7 in. (5.96 m). It also provides a maximum dig depth of 11 ft. 7 in. (3.53 m). A backfill blade allows the excavator to fill or grade while an optional all-hydraulic blade angles 25 degrees left or right, for even more efficient grading and backfilling.

Compact excavators are commonly used as tool carriers with a wide range of attachments increasing job site versatility. A standard quick-coupler-equipped, boom-mounted auxiliary line makes attachment hookup on the ZX50U-5N a snap.An auxiliary function lever (AFL) is available with an analog switch, trigger switch and horn for running

attachments such as a breaker or an attachment with swing.

The ZX50U-5N allows the engine speed to be matched to the job with power/economy work modes, which are usually only available on larger excavator models. The power mode provides higher engine speeds for most general digging work, while the economy mode reduces engine speed for lighter digging jobs. This results in lower noise and decreased fuel consumption.

The excavator also uses the Hitachi Triple H (HHH) hydraulic system, which enables combined operations by adjusting the optimal flow rate for all actuators. This gives the operator the freedom to provide simultaneous control inputs with no impact on machine performance.

ATier IV Final compliant, direct-injected Yanmar engine produces 36.3 net hp (27.1 kW) while remaining fuel efficient and impressively quiet. The engine provides a high torque level for more pull-through power.

Designed for Comfort

Just because the ZX50U-5N can squeeze into a tight space doesn’t mean the operator should. A spacious operator station has a wide entryway. Swing boom and foldable travel pedals are positioned where they are easy to operate yet allow plenty of foot room.

Hitachi ZX50U-5N Offers Easy AccessforRoutineCheckUps

from page 52

Ergonomic short-throw hydraulic pilot control levers provide smooth, predictable low-effortfingertipoperationtoreduceoperator fatigue. To suit operator preference and increase productivity, control patterns can be quickly switched from backhoe- to excavator-style controls with a control-pattern selector located in a compartment beneath the seat.

Durability Built In

The ZX50U-5N is built to the same durability standards as larger Hitachi excavators. Oil-impregnated HN bushings are used on the boom, arm and bucket joints for increased durability. Heavy-duty X-frames providearock-solidbasethatresistsmaterial and dirt buildup. A single-pin swing post increases the structural integrity of the digging components.

The rubber tracks on the ZX50U-5N feature a unique steel core that resists cracking. Large-diameter drive sprockets and track idlers further increase undercarriage durability.

A V-shaped cylinder guard provides added protection to the boom cylinder. To prevent damage to the upper structure, a D-section frame skirt improves upward impact resistance by 20 percent over previous models, according to the manufacturer.

Maintenance Made Easy

Compact machines can be more challenging to maintain, but not with the ZX50U-5N.A hinged door provides wideopen access to the side-by-side oil cooler and radiator core for easier cleanout. Routine checks, such as engine oil level, are quickly accomplished from ground level. A hydraulic fluid sight gauge and see-through coolant reservoir allow the operator to check at a glance.

Adjusting proper track tension only requires a grease gun andawrench.Alargefueltank, 500- and 2,000-hour engine and hydraulic oil service, and 500-hour greasing intervals enable these excavators to work long hours between scheduled service intervals.

An enhanced 3.5-in. LCD monitor keeps the operator informed of vital information while allowing fingertip control of several functions, including auto-shutdown and power/economy modes.

Comfort inside the spacious cab has been maximized with an automatic, high velocity, bi-level climate-control system with automotive-style adjustable louvers to help keep the glass clear.

The operator station tilts forward 50 degrees, simplifying access to the swing motor,hydrauliccontrolvalve,enginestarter motor and alternator.

To reduce the cost of repair, the traditional curved glass used in the cab has been exchanged with more easily obtainable flat glass.

Multiple Projects Under Way On L&C’s Water System

water to its 20 member cities and rural water systems,” saidTroy Larson, executive director. “The idea started in 1987, back when parachute pants were still popular, which showshowlongit’stakentogettowherewe are today. Our members created Lewis & Clark because they needed more water quantity, were struggling with water quality issues or both.”

Groundbreaking for the project began in August 2003, with significant construction starting in the spring of 2004.

According to Larson, five contracts remain to be awarded in order to complete thebasesystemof44.19milliongal.perday (MGD).

“We are in the process of expanding the system to 60 MGD. Work started this year ontheexpansion,withestimatedcompletion in 2030.”

There are multiple projects under way currently. They include construction of 32 mi. of 24-in. PVC pipeline for the Madison, S.D., service line, which is divided into two separate contracts of 16 mi., each using two separate contractors (Halme Construction and Carstensen Contracting). Work also has started on a 22 MGD radial collector well near Vermillion, S.D., overseen by Welfl Construction. Other projects include a 2.5 million gal. composite water tower at Beresford, S.D., and a 1 million gal. composite water tower near Sheldon, Iowa — both led by Caldwell Tanks; construction of ameterbuildingatSiouxCenter,Iowa,overseenbyD.W.Proehl;expansionofthemeter buildingatHull,Iowa;theadditionofpumps to the Beresford pump station; improve-

ments to the high service pump station at the water treatment plant led by PKG Contracting; and construction of 17 mi. of 16-in. diameter PVC pipeline between Hull and Sheldon, Iowa, supervised by Eatherly Constructors.

Larsonsaidtheamountoftimedevotedto the project, to date, is extremely gratifying.

“Because of the slow pace of federal funding, for many years we could not tell members what decade, let alone what year, they might be receiving water. As we get toward the end, and with passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the remaining fivemembersweneedtoconnectnowknow when they will begin receiving water.

“We have five contracts to award in order

to complete the base system of 44.19 MGD. Those projects are estimated to cost a combined $83M in today’s dollars. We expect to have all 20 members connected by late 2024/early2025.Thiswillcompletethebase system of 44.19 MGD.”

Larson noted that, by current standards, the price tag for the 44.19 MGD system totals $640 million. Grant funding for construction includes 80 percent from the federal government; 10 percent from the three states; and 10 percent from the 20 participatingmembers.Aftercloseto10yearsofhearings, the project was finally authorized by Congress.

Larson admitted that monitoring the ongoing construction has not been easy.

“It’s been incredibly challenging and difficult, especially not knowing until passage of the infrastructure bill how much federal funding we would receive each year. The three states and 20 members prepaid their share of the project about 15 years ago for a combined $154 million, so the pace of construction the last 15 years has been entirely dependent upon federal funding.

“Like our namesake explorers, Lewis & Clark is a vanguard project. Never has there been a cooperative partnership between the federalgovernment,threestatesand20local governments. Our federal funding for construction flows through the Bureau of Reclamation, which only operates in the 17

Road construction companies are equipped for the future with Vögele’s latest-generation SUPER 1900-5(i) and SUPER 2100-5(i) road pavers and AB 500 and AB 600 extending screeds.

Highway Class pavers are perfectly at home whether on highways or handling other demanding large-scale projects. The SUPER 1900-5(i) manages pave widths between 8.2 and 37.8 ft; the SUPER 2100-5(i) up to 46 ft.

Both Dash 5 pavers are convincing products featuring a flexible, modular system which takes particular account of economy and sustainability as well as of ease of use and process automation.

More Convenience, Safety for Users

Vögele has made user requirements a key focus of development, resulting in further optimization of the ErgoPlus operating concept which, with its touchscreen and smartphone shelf, delivers even greater convenience for digital road construction.

The new Paver Access Control (PAC) function enables Dash 5-generation pavers to be equipped for work on

the job site more quickly, more conveniently and more safely. The control unit positioned on the screed allows all the initial steps — such as switching on lights, starting the diesel engine, booting up the machine control system, putting up the hardtop and locking it in position, as well as lowering the screed — to be performed safely and conveniently from ground level.

This promotes safety and saves time, as the paver operator cannot forget to lock the hardtop in position and can start heating the screed as soon as he has arrived on the paver operator's platform.

The combination of PAC and Light Package Plus provides additional convenience and safety. The integrated lighting provides even illumination of the whole working area.As the lighting is permanently integrated in the hardtop design, it is not necessary to transport separate lights to the job site and fit them there.

Into Future With Automation

The automation of processes has been intensified in the SUPER 19005(i) and SUPER 2100-5(i) road pavers using assistance and control systems.

Process automation not only prevents paving errors, it considerably increases efficiency as well as paving quality. Examples of this are AutoSet Plus, already tried and tested in the market, as well as two new Niveltronic Plus functions, Assist and Edge Control.

TheAutoSet Plus feature of the Dash 5 generation simplifies handling even further and new functions have been added.

Niveltronic Plus Assist helps the paver operator pave the road accurately in predefined cross-sectional profiles. Paving parameters can be entered on the display and the progress of construction monitored accordingly.

Edge Control now also makes it possible to control screed width, as well as to steer along a tensioned wire. The physical reference is detected with the aid of a sonic sensor for this purpose. Measurement of screed width in the hydraulic cylinders delivers a precise position signal for what in future will be fully automatic screed width control on

Wirtgen Introduces Comfort Cabin for Compact Machines

At the beginning of 2022, Wirtgen celebrated the market launch of its completely redesigned generation of compact milling machines. And now, the company presents another innovation. Alongside efficiency and environmental compatibility, the focus is now set on ergonomics again. For the first time, compact class machines can be fitted with a comfort cabin.

The operator’s cabin for the W 100 Fi – W 130 Fi models sets new standards when it comes to ergonomics. It offers the operator a comfortable, low-fatigue workplace and provides effective protection against noise emissions. At the same time, the cabin protects the operator when working in all weather conditions —no matter whether it’s windy, raining, cold or sunny and hot.

The cabin air is cleaned by a filter system and the temperature is controlled by an automatic air conditioning and heating system. The cabin also is constructed as a positivepressure system to prevent the ingress of dirt, dust, and hazardous materials into the operator’s workplace. Regardless of the weather conditions, the operator’s workplace always stays dry and clean, also when transporting the machine.

Low-Fatigue Working Environment Promotes Better Concentration

The increased comfort and lower impact of environmental influences inside the cabin effectively reduce stress and fatigue.

The cabin offers the operator an attractive

working environment with modern control elements and assistance systems that are unique in this class. This assures that important factors that contribute to safety and productivity, such as concentration and physical or mental capabilities, are not impaired in any way.

The consequences of this are motivated operators, job satisfaction and maximum occupational health and safety. All in all, the best prerequisites for making every day a productive working day, Wirtgen said.

Problem-Free Communication

The comfort cabin for compact milling machines also shows another of its unique strengths when it comes to communication.

The ambient noise level is so low that the operator can make hands-free phone calls from the cabin. For communication on the construction site, the operator can either use a radio headset or open the easily accessible side window to talk with the crew on the ground.

Enclosed Cabin Prevents Vandalism

When closed and locked, the operator’s cabin and all control elements are securely protected against vandalism. There is no longer any need to remove and stow protection covers or open up fold-away control panels at the start of work or vice versa at the end of the working day.

DOTAdds Seven More Projects ‘Every Day Counts’List

expanded the program to include multiple transportation modes.

In announcing the seven new projects in early December, the DOT said the program will focus more intently on traffic safety and emissions reduction. The expansion in types of projectsreflectsthenationalpushfortransportation infrastructure improvements as a result of the bi-partisan IIJA, according to the DOT.

The FHWA had in the past worked with state transportation agencies to zero-in on appropriate innovations. Collaborating with agencies such as the FTA and the FRA, the DOT was able to grow the program beyond just infrastructure.

“Alltheinnovationsinthepastwere chosen just with state transportation highway departments in mind,” said Stephanie Pollack, the acting administrator of the FHWA. “This set was chosen with a broader set of modes.”

Improvements to nighttime safety, a push for rural and tribal workforce development are among the latest innovations. So is an initiative to integrate greenhouse gas assessments into transportation planning.

Though its name is Every Day Counts, the program isn’t just about speeding up transportation innovation, according to Bloomberg News.

“It’s not just faster,” said Pollack in announcing this latest round of innovations. “The seven innovations were chosen to not just focus on faster project delivery,butthethreebigbuckets—safety,sustainability and then equity and inclusion.”

The FHWA sits down with local governments and their transportation departments and stakeholders to choose each new set of projects. Previous rounds of the Every Day Counts program included technology to accelerate bridge construction and digital ticketing, according to Bloomberg.

Many of the projects are designed to help make the nation’s transit systems safer, greener and more equitable.

Since the nighttime crash fatality rate is three times that of the daytime, enhancing visibility along corridors, intersections and pedestrian crossings helps reduce fatalities. This initiative promotes traffic control devices and properly designed lighting to improve safety for all users, including pedestrians,cyclistsandpeoplewhousepublic transportation and passenger rail services.

The program’s shift to embrace other transportation modescomesasconcernsaboutU.S.cardependencecontinue to grow.

EDC’s new project devoted to nighttime safety, for example, is designed to boost visibility for all users, including cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders.

“We’re really excited about making this tool that’s been proven in the highway context available in all the different modes of transportation,” Pollack said.

This year’s innovations being promoted by the FHWA and the FTA will improve project delivery across highway, rail and transit agencies at the state and local level.

“Americans get the best value out of innovations in transportation when they are broadly shared among communities so that good ideas spread across the country,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “With today’s announcement, these innovations will be more rapidly deployed to save lives, protect taxpayer dollars, reduce carbon emissions and ensure more families, workers and businesses benefit.”

Internal curing, one of the seven EDC innovations, mitigates shrinkage cracking and has the potential to substantially extend the service life of concrete bridge decks, benefitting travel by motor vehicle and public transit, as well as enhancing the performance of pavements and repairs.

ïIntegratingGreenhouseGasAssessmentand Reduction Targets in Transportation Planning

This initiative provides resources to help agencies, regardless of transportation mode, quantify greenhouse gases and set goals to decrease motor vehicle, construction and life-cycle emissions through planning and project development.

ï Enhancing Performance with Internally Cured Concrete (EPIC)

Cracking in concrete is a limiting factor in achieving long-term concrete performance. Internal curing mitigates shrinkage cracking and has the potential to substantially extend the service life of concrete bridge decks, benefitting travel by motor vehicle and public transit, as well as enhancing the performance of pavements and repairs.

Construction materials such as concrete and asphalt have environmental impacts during their life cycle, whether the transportation facility supports passenger vehicles, transit vehicles, or railroad cars.

KAGE’sWingLineTechUpsSafety,ReducesPlowDamage

The WingLine mounts inside the cab on the windshield using provided suction cup mounts, allowing the laser to be aimed at the right location ahead of the truck. Being mounted inside the cab also ensures the laser lens doesn’t become dirty or blocked by ice and snow.

takes just under an hour. The owner’s manual provides detailed instructions on how to install the WingLine laser plow guide and ensure it is functioning as intended. It also comes with a two-year structural warranty.

KAGE, manufacturer of commercial snowplows and landscaping equipment, is known for its AdvantEdge flexible cutting-edge system; SnowFire snowplow box system; Snow Stake management system; Snow Dozer plow system; and LiquidRage anti-icing spray technology — all practical solutions to make time-consuming everyday tasks a thing of the past and accomplishing more in an efficient manner.

All manufacturing occurs in the company’s 26,000-sq.-ft. facility. KAGE was established in 2009 by president and inventor Mike Stephan and was built upon the experience of his father’s landscaping and horticultural services company. Today the company has more than 10 products as part of its offerings in snow equipment.

“From the very foundation of KAGE, we have witnessed the value of showing snowplow operators what the KAGE product can do,” said Kaydence Stephan, of KAGE sales and marketing support. “We strongly believe in getting the operators excited about this revolutionary design and the amount of time the KAGE plow system saves. Not to mention how much less fatigued they feel when they use the KAGE system. The operators have a hard enough job as it is, and our core motive is to make it easy for them.

“Our ‘Sea of Blue’ brand covers the snow belt of North America, and we are always striving to reach more potential customers, not only in the snow and ice industry but also in the commercial landscape industry.”

Despite the pandemic, KAGE customers did not experience any past-due deliveries directly caused by the company. KAGE remained fully staffed and continued to deliver products on time.

“Currently, we are working hard to find the right people, that want to set the stage and start a career here,” said Stephan. “We put our best foot forward to find the right people and put them in the right place. We have experienced some slowdowns within production due to the number of staff we had this summer and fall, but our employees have a great attitude about working overtime and they have what is best for the company at the forefront of their minds. Fortunately, we are close to being fully staffed and have production turned all the way up getting plows out the door every day.”

Aside from creating and providing employment opportunities in the area, the company also is heavily invested in the local community. This year KAGE sponsored the local car and airshow, Wheels and Wings, and had the opportunity to

Program Focuses On Speed, Safety, Sustainability, Equity

career opportunities in transportation. A continued focus on taking this nationwide will help stakeholders across the country improve their ability to identify, train, and place highway construction workers.

Innovative approaches will be informed by the DOT’s Memorandum of Understanding with the DOL to foster a diverse and skilled workforce to support infrastructure projects.

The focus will expand to rural and tribal communities to increase career opportunities.

“Many of the innovations announced as part of this forward-thinking program will help make the nation’s transit systems safer, greener and more equitable,” said Nuria Fernandez,theFTAadministrator.“Welook forward to promoting the findings from these initiatives, from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to leveling the playing field for small businesses to compete for designbuildcontracts,throughoutthetransitindustry.”

History of Success

Every two years since 2011 FHWA has worked with state transportation depart-

ments, local governments, tribes, private industry and other stakeholders to identify a new set of innovations to champion that merit accelerated deployment.

The first six rounds of EDC have yielded several innovative project delivery technologies, including prefabricated bridge systems, design-build contracting, project bundling, e-construction (paperless contracting) and safety initiatives.

The program’s success is based largely on states selecting innovations they want to pursue.

The model identifies and rapidly deploys underutilized innovations to shorten the project delivery process, enhance roadway safety, reduce traffic congestion and integrate automation.

Proven innovations promoted through EDC facilitate efficiency at the state and local levels, saving time, money and resources, said the National Operations Center for Excellence (NOCOE).

After selecting EDC innovations, transportation leaders from across the country gather at regional summits to discuss and identify opportunities. It is there that innovationsthatbestfittheneedsoftheirrespectivestatetransportationprogramsareimplemented.

Following the summits, states finalize their selection of innovations, establish performance goals and begin implementation.

NOCOE said the EDC program has made a significant positive impact in accelerating the deployment of innovations and in building a culture of innovation within the transportation community.

“Since the inception of EDC, each state has used 19 or more of the 52 innovations promoted through Every Day Counts, and some states have adopted more than 40,” said the organization.

Many of these innovations have become mainstream practices across the country.

Accelerated Innovation Demonstration and State Transportation Innovation Council Incentive programs administered by FHWA provide additional funding and resources to help accelerate the adoption and standardization of innovative technologies.

Previous innovations includeAccelerated Bridge Construction, Road Diets, and Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP).

The bridge construction program involved a suite of technologies that allow for accelerated construction of bridges, significantly reducing traffic delays and road

In addition to dealing with inflation and supply chain issues, keeping construction on schedule has been challenging, with the water treatment plant by far the biggest, longest and most complex task.

The elements also have been an issue for crews.

“We’ve been in a drought since 2020, but 2018 and 2019 were the first and second wettest years on record in South Dakota,” said Larson. “The wet weather made pipeline construction very challenging and involved a lot of extra de-watering.”

As for dirt work, it’s impossible to determinethenumberofcubicyardsof material moved during construction, because of the length and scope of the project, which requires a variety of heavy machinery.

Larson said a mix of excavators and backhoes are being used for pipeline

closures and often reducing project costs.

Since October 2010, transportation agencieshavedesignedorconstructedmorethan 2,500 replacement bridges using these technologies.

Road Diets are innovative roadway reconfigurationsthatcanhelpimprovesafety on mixed-use streets by reducing vehicle speeds, calming traffic and freeing space for alternative modes of travel.

The plan typically converts an existing four-lane, undivided roadway segment to two through lanes and a center, two-way left-turn lane. Road diets can reduce collisions, increase mobility and access and improve a community’s quality of life.

The STEP program is the application of cost-effective countermeasures with known safetybenefitstoreducepedestrianfatalities at crossing locations. With pedestrian fatalities a continued concern nationwide, this innovation is helping communities improve pedestrian safety and making crosswalks and pedestrians more visible to drivers.

“By advancing 21st-century solutions, the transportation community is making every day count, to ensure our roads and bridges are built better, faster and smarter and operated at peak efficiency,” said NOCOE.  CEG
