DeCook Excavating Several Acquisitions Lead to Diversification for Byron, Minn., Company Sparking Growth When Chris DeCook started DeCook Excavating in Byron, Minn., in 2004, he knew hard work and delivering for customers would lead to success. What he did not foresee was the trajectory that has led his business to include four separate companies and more than 150 employees. “It started with two employees in 2004 — myself and my nephew, Levi Henson, and we focused on residential projects like digging basements,” said DeCook. “I figured we’d always have around 10 employees. We just kept getting more work and hiring great people. It’s led to 17 straight years of growth.” Meeting customers’ needs fueled early and consistent growth for DeCook. The latest wave of expansion has been a result of acquisitions. The first was when DeCook bought out Bob Braaten Construction in 2017. “That move really increased our capabilities and laid the groundwork for the last couple of years,” said DeCook. “Purchasing Braaten gave us the manpower and experience to move into commercial site development and municipal work because that’s what those crews were used to doing. It was a great fit with what we already had in the residential sector.” It also eventually led to DeCook getting into the aggregate industry with Olmstead Aggregate. Today, Olmstead Aggregate creates a variety of products from its Tvedt Quarry in Byron. “Bob maintained Bob Braaten Sand and Gravel after we purchased the construction side, but sold it to us in 2018,” said DeCook. “We renamed it Olmstead Aggregate for Olmstead County, where we’re located.” The latest addition to DeCook’s portfolio is DeCook Drainage, which happened when it bought out L&E Farm Drainage in 2019. “We knew the owner, Larry, and he did some field tiling for my brother’s farm,” said DeCook. “When we started, we had five employees, and now it’s grown to 15 and we added a second plow.” DeCook credits the growth of the company to his employees. In addition to Henson, who is a project manager today, people like John Allen, estimator, and Jody Beck, project manager, have been integral in helping DeCook manage and fuel the company’s growth. Closing Loop The growth curve has been a rapid one. However, DeCook said that each move made sense and was a great opportunity to strengthen the overall operation. “For the most part, each company complements the other in some way,” he said.

“DeCook Excavation uses product from Olmstead Aggregate. Customers appreciate that we have DeCook Landscaping to come in after we perform site work because there’s no scheduling conflicts. The tiling is a little bit separate, but it still fits with what we do.” An example of the synergy is on the Bigelow-Voit 8 project, a 46-unit residential subdivision in Kasson, Minn. DeCook Excavating performed initial grading, installed underground utilities and will dig the basements. It used material from Olmstead Aggregates to build the roads in the development and DeCook Landscaping will perform residential landscaping at the end. “This is a really big project, and we are
able to take it from a green field to a complete development,” said DeCook. “We were the first ones on the site, and we’ll be the last ones on it, too.” DeCook said that the growth has enabled the company to offer a more complete package to customers on projects like this. It also has allowed it to do larger commercial ones as well. “We started on a plant expansion for McNeilus Steel in 2019 that included a private street, water utilities, grading building pads and an expansion to the steel yard,” said DeCook. “It’s by far the biggest job we’ve had, it just keeps going. Before we expanded, I wouldn’t have even bid on the job. But now with the people we have in RMS photo

place, we can do it, and do it well.” Equipment Upgrade DeCook’s expansion and growth are not just limited to employees and project size, it also includes its equipment fleet. “Our equipment needs have changed as we’ve grown,” said DeCook. “We not only needed more pieces to do more jobs, but we also needed larger equipment and better technology to help us improve efficiency.” To accomplish that goal, DeCook turned to Jeff Bistodeau, Road Machinery & Supplies Co. territory manager. DeCook wasted little time in beefing up the fleet as he ordered 12 machines in a single order earlier this spring. He also tackled the efficiency aspect as nine of the machines were Komatsu intelligent Machine Control pieces that featured integrated, semi-automated GPS technology. The order included four iMC dozers (D39PXi-24, D51PXi-24, D61PXi-24 and D71PXi-24); five iMC excavators (PC210LCI-11, PC360LCi-11, PC390LCI11 and two PC490LCi-11s); a PC170LC-11 excavator; a PC238USLC-11 excavator; and a KPI-JCI 13-36150 conveyor. “That was by far our largest one-time purchase,” said DeCook. “The reason we did it all at once was because we knew we needed GPS equipment. We had a few GPS machines, and once we started using them, see DECOOK page 58

West Side Tractor Receives National WBE Certification “For decades, we have been a business that has provided a seat at the table for women. Studies conclude that diverse teams create more innovation and make better fact based, objective decisions. We’ve experienced that firsthand within our teams and has served us well.” Diane Benck
West Side Tractor
West Side Tractor is a multi-generational family business. (L-R) are Steve Benck, Diane Benck, Brian Benck, Lauren Coffaro, Jen Snow and Tom Benck.
West Side Tractor, a John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealership, has secured certification as a National Women’s Business Enterprise by the Midwest Women’s Business Council, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). West Side Tractor President Diane Benck (2nd generation) and nieces Jen Snow (3rd generation), Senior Vice President of Operations, and Lauren Coffaro (3rd generation), Senior Vice President of Marketing & Technology, represent the majority ownership stake of the 60-year-old family business. WBENC Certification is the most widely recognized and respected national certification for womenowned businesses in the United States. The certification process is meticulous, including an in-depth review of the business, vetting interviews and onsite inspection. The process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women. “This certification will certainly be helpful for companies committed to supplier diversity, which includes many corporate and government agencies,” said Benck. “While this specific certification is new for our business, our efforts to support gender diversification in the construction industry is not. “For decades, we have been a business that has provided a seat at the table for women. Studies conclude that diverse teams create more innovation and make better fact
based, objective decisions. We’ve experienced that firsthand within our teams and has served us well.” While the construction industry as a whole employs less than 10 percent of women that has not been the experience at West Side Tractor. Currently, 28 percent of West Side Tractor’s senior management team is female, representing key leadership positions companywide and 20 percent of all managers within the business are women. The business also supports and participates in many important organizations and events, including Women Road Builders, Associated Equipment Distributor’s (AED) Women’s Round Table and Women in Equipment Conference, and John Deere’s first Women in Construction event at ConExpo 2023. The West Side Women’s Book Club launched this year, with more than 20 female employees participating. All of these organizations and events provide opportunities for personal and professional development, as well as skills training and networking. Benck also served as AED’s 2018 chairwoman, representing more than 800 suppliers, manufacturers and service providers across the United States. This honor was particularly monumental as Benck was the first female chairwoman in the 100 year history of the AED. She now serves on the AED Foundation’s board of directors, which focuses on workforce development and attracting skilled workers to the industry.

Luby Equipment Makes Donation to Ranken Technical College

Shawn Ray (L), diesel department chair of Ranken Technical College, and Brian Kopec, general service manager of Luby Equipment Services.
The team of Luby Equipment Services believes in investing in the future and supporting the growth of its community. That’s why the company shows its support for Ranken Technical College by donating construction equipment engines and a Case skidsteer.
Equipment. “With the partnership with Luby Equipment and Rankin, we’re helping gear them towards technicians that can work on construction equipment. They’ll learn the hydraulic side and have more electrical resources. This is going to help make them a more rounded technician.”
Commitment to Education As a firm dedicated to the growth of the service technician field, Luby Equipment understands the pivotal role of quality education in shaping skilled professionals. The company recognizes the importance of providing students with access to the latest tools and technologies to nurture their talents and prepare them for the demands of the industry.
Donation Makes Difference “We’re always looking at the options of going in the different directions with the diesel industry,” said Shawn Ray, diesel department chair of Ranken Technical College. “Luby’s been supporting us to try doing something with equipment, which is based a lot more on the smaller engine block designs. Seeing the support we’re getting from the equipment side to be able to hopefully get a program directed more to that where we can cover the differences and make a more rounded tech. It’s nice to be able to give them options and to always have that employability no matter where they are and through the course of their career.”
Growing Diesel College Program “We came together with Ranken Technical to help them build a better diesel tech program,” said Brian Kopec, general service manager of Luby

States Seek Second Federal Grant to Replace Blatnik Bridge Gov. Tony Evers, together with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, announced Dec. 4 their state transportation agencies have requested more than $1 billion in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Bridge Investment Program (BIP) to replace the aging John A. Blatnik Bridge between Superior, Wis., and Duluth, Minn. “For more than 60 years, the Blatnik Bridge has been a vital link for our communities and businesses. But as the bridge reaches the end of its service life, its condition continues to deteriorate — and it’s time for us to exhaust every opportunity to replace this crucial connector with a safer, more efficient and more reliable structure for the next generation,” said Evers. “This submittal is a major step forward for our two states, and I look forward to continuing to work with Governor Walz and our partners in Minnesota and our federal partners to build the 21st-century infrastructure the people of our states deserve.” “The Blatnik Bridge is a critical connection point for transportation and commerce between Minnesota and Wisconsin — and it needs an upgrade,” said Walz. “I’m proud to partner with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers as we urge our federal partners to support this project that will foster regional economic growth, bolster our national supply chains and strengthen the reliability of our transportation network that serves hundreds of communities between our states.” Earlier this year, Evers signed the 2023-25 biennial budget, which authorized $47.2 million in funding and $352.8 million in transportation fund-supported, general obligation bonding authority to secure sufficient state support for the project. Additionally, due to the efforts of U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin), last year, the federal omnibus spending bill signed by President Joe Biden included more than $255 million to support dozens of projects throughout Wisconsin, including $7.5 million for the Blatnik Bridge. This financial commitment has been essential to ensuring the state can be competitive in applying for additional federal support for the project. “I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bring federal funding home to Wisconsin to repair our roads and bridges — like the Blatnik Bridge,” said Baldwin. “The bridge is a crucial link between Minnesota and Wisconsin, supporting our supply chain, commuters and visitors. I am proud to support Wisconsin’s application for funding to replace the Blatnik Bridge and invest in our economy, safety and future.” This is the second federal grant jointly sought by the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota to replace this critical Midwest transportation structure. Earlier this year,
Evers and Walz announced a federal grant application for more than $1 billion through the USDOT’s Multimodal Project Discretionary Grant (MPDG) program. Both MPDG and BIP are grant programs that are part of the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Built in 1961, the Blatnik Bridge has served as an essential link between Superior and Duluth via Interstate 535 and US 53. Jointly owned and operated by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the bridge is an important freight and commercial connector. More than 33,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day, including commuters and visitors. Each year, more than 265,000 trucks transporting nearly $4 billion in goods pass over the Blatnik Bridge. Many businesses across the upper Midwest rely on the bridge to reach the Port of Duluth-Superior, the largest United States’ port on the Great Lakes. The bridge also is one of the largest marine links for trade with Canada, the top trade partner of Wisconsin, Minnesota and the United States. Over the years, the Blatnik Bridge has had significant structural deterioration. As a result, the bridge has needed to be load posted for 40 tons since 2019, can no longer carry over-
weight freight load, and is at risk for complete closure by 2030. The total project cost to tear down the existing bridge and build a new bridge in its footprint is estimated at $1.8 billion. Each state committed $400 million toward the project this year and plans to seek additional federal funds through other sources, including BIP and MPDG program, to get the project over the finish line. “Our commitment to improving safety and the long-term sustainability of our bridges is unwavering. I know our partners at MnDOT share this sentiment,” said WisDOT Secretary Craig Thompson. “These grant applications and deepening shows of support — from local communities and elected officials in both states — demonstrate how important this project is and why we must act with urgency.” Since the MPDG grant submission in August, support to replace the Blatnik Bridge has grown. A letter of support signed by nine elected officials in Wisconsin and Minnesota, including Sen. Baldwin, was sent to President Biden in September. The letter urges federal action to replace the bridge, underscoring that it is an essential economic engine in the region and a key connection in the global supply chain. WisDOT and MnDOT previously sub-
mitted the Blatnik Bridge project to BIP in 2022, and although the bridge was not selected for funding in that round, the project team received valuable feedback from the USDOT and made significant improvements to the current BIP grant application. For example, the project team worked with the USDOT’s Federal Highway Administration to complete the cost schedule risk assessment, as well as refined and made clarifications to the benefit-cost analysis to better present the project. The goal of the project is to improve overall operational performance, fix significant structural deterioration, address safety concerns, and enhance vehicle and freight mobility. Plans will follow the same alignment as the current bridge, and the preferred alternative would add a multi-use path for pedestrians and bicycles. The federal BIL funding will be allocated to a substantial portion of the project’s budget and enable an accelerated schedule to complete the project faster. Design work for the project, which would determine specifications and shape the total cost of the project, is anticipated to begin in 2024. Once a final design is selected, construction could begin as early as late 2025 if full funding is secured.

XBroom Aims for Simplicity in Its Sweeping Process Sweeping is simple right? Well, that depends. When it comes to pushing a broom, it certainly is, but with mechanical sweeping in a milling environment, it’s not always easy. An Arizona-based manufacturer of a pickup broom designed for heavy-duty, high production sweeping is simplifying the sweeping process in both operation and maintenance with its XBroom sweeper. Nescon LLC began limited production of the XBroom in 2009, and since then, word of the product has spread rapidly through the paving and milling industry, according to Will Conklin, CEO of the Mesa-based company. “Simplicity is built into every aspect of the machine’s design,” Conklin said. “Keeping things simple has been our focus from the beginning, in both operation and maintenance. Two access doors and all hydraulic lines and electrical components are right there where you can see and work on them. We purposely have them exposed and not hidden in the frame. We wanted everything to be easy to get to and easy to maintain, from hydraulic manifolds down to electric boxes.” Operating the XBroom is as simple as “turn on the PLC, turn on the PTO and push down the joystick,” Conklin added. “There are no added buttons, gadgets or levers necessary to perform the sweeping operation.” Contractor Origins John Nesbitt was a paving contractor, but he realized he didn’t have a passion for the paving business. He was a natural inventor living in the production-oriented world of paving and realized his true calling was creating solutions to problems he experienced in his business every day, according to Conklin. In 2007, Conklin, who had been working as a bartender in the college town of Tempe, talked Nesbitt into giving him a job — as a janitor. At the time, recalled Conklin, that’s about all his resume qualified him for. “Like most companies in 2008, they were laying people off and I would learn a new job and just tell John [Nesbitt] to pay me the same rate,” Conklin said. “By 2009, I was shop lead as we built the first prototypes of John’s answer to the sweeping challenges he faced in the paving business. “At the time, we had probably 10 milling machines — some older CMI machines and some Wirtgen and Roadtec machines,” he added. “For sweepers, we had what was available at the time. It seemed like we had more issues with the sweeping process than the actual paving. When a machine went down, which was a frequent occurrence, there was always difficulty getting support. Just getting someone on the phone was difficult.” Sweeping millings is essential, and when that’s not happening, it holds up the entire process.
XBroom Difference • Time and money. Contractors’ challenges vary, according to Conklin, but in the case of APS, the problem was time. They were limited in the amount of milling they could perform daily because they were held up by sweeping the millings. “Rather than having three pieces of equipment and five guys, they can do the job with one piece of equipment and one guy,” said Conklin. Traditional brooms typically require a skid steer to pick up millings that have been swept. The XBroom picks the millings up, puts in the selfWill Conklin, CEO of Nescon LLC, which manufactures the XBroom, attributes the sweeper’s popularity with the paving company to ease of operation, service and maintenance.
The issues with sweepers were numerous, recalled Conklin. “The most common were hydraulic and electronic issues,” he said. “But there were a lot of mechanical issues, too.” Nesbitt and his team were keen to address the most common problems they were experiencing as they continued to develop what would become the XBroom, while putting it into service on paving jobs. Conklin split his time between the shop and the job site, acting as milling/pavement recycling foreman and lead technician in the shop. Soon, two prototypes were in service, and it didn’t take long for word to get out that a contractor had built his own sweeper. “We started getting calls from major contractors about it fairly soon,” Conklin said. “It was sort of ‘we heard you produced your own sweeper, and it might be something we’d be interested in.’ From that point on, it was organic growth. We began to get orders almost immediately.” The first XBroom was built in a single bay in Tempe and, understandably, competitors in the sweeping space thought it would just go away, Nesbitt remembered. “We operated in very cramped quarters until we moved into this facility [current Mesa plant] in 2014. There were just three of us at the beginning — myself, Will [Conklin] and my son, Chris.” Today, XBrooms are on milling jobs throughout the United States. They are in use and promoted by industry leaders like the Stanleys of American Paving Specialists (APS) and Raised on Blacktop fame. APS President Bill Stanley credits XBroom with delivering his company’s milling division from “broom hell.”
The XBroom’s extra large hopper capacity means more time sweeping and less time dumping.
contained hopper and hauls it off. • Availability of support. Conklin touts his company’s 24-hour technical support service. “We answer the phone, and we offer a rapid solution,” he said. “Advanced self-diagnostics are also utilized.” • Accessible and adjustable. All controls and adjustments are visible from the easily accessible rear doors. Adjustments to the main broom (angle and pressure) and elevator allow for picking up much larger millings than other sweepers, according to Conklin. • Ease of operation. The XBroom requires a single operator, and no manual sweeping. According to Conklin, the broom can sweep 30 percent more than competitor brooms in the same amount of time. Sweeping should be as easy as pushing a hand broom. As the cliché goes, necessity is the mother of invention and simplicity is often the foundation of a new, successful idea. John Nesbitt, Will Conklin and their team understood that and together their XBroom continues to help contractors do their jobs more easily and efficiently. (All photos courtesy of XBroom.)

Wirtgen W 250 Fi Cold Milling Machine Removes Concrete at German Airport The renovation of the Leipzig/Halle Airport in Leipzig, Germany, required the complete removal of over 2 mi. of runway as well as the connecting taxiways in under 30 days. More than 385,000 tons of extremely hard concrete reinforced with rebar mats (continuously reinforced concrete pavement — CRCP) were removed in the course of the cutting process. To complete such a large project, the contracting company used powerful machines from Wirtgen’s W 250 Fi class with special modified milling drums.
ment.
Minimal Carbon Footprint Even the granulated concrete generated by the airport project in Leipzig was 100 percent reused as valuable recycled building material. After being stored temporarily near the building site, it was used in later renovation stages for the roadbed of the new runway. The short transport route and minimal need for new material left a very small carbon footprint. On top of this, the Wirtgen cold milling machines themselves offered a broad spectrum of environmentally-friendly machine technologies. Fuel-optimized speed ranges in milling mode controlled by Wirtgen Mill Assist and enginetemperature-controlled fan speeds, for example, help protect the environment and conserve valuable resources. Automatic activation and deactivation of the water spraying system and water metering dependent on milling performance considerably reduce water consumption.
Extensive Renovation of Damaged Taxiways It was necessary to completely remove the north-side runway due to “concrete cancer,” an alkali-silica reaction also found in older concrete-paved highways, which irreparably destroys the concrete from within. A project of this magnitude requires high-performance machines and optimal cutting tools for the milling drum. With more than 1,000 hp, the Wirtgen W 250 Fi class always has sufficient power reserves, according to the manufacturer. The large milling machines were equipped with additional ballast weights in order to exploit their full performance potential in the cutting process. The greater operating weight leads to greater traction of the track units and optimal cutting performance by the milling drum. The large milling machines for the Leipzig Airport project also were fitted with ECO milling drums and special picks. ECO milling drums have up to 50 per- Each Wirtgen W 250 Fi cold milling machine milled an average of 1,212 tons of cent fewer picks at larger tool concrete per day. spacings than standard milling drums.

The SF-3404 paves a maximum of 40 ft. and features telescoping endpans for 2 ft. of width flexibility on each end.
Power Pavers announced the launch of the industry’s newest full-width, fourtrack concrete slipform paver: the Power Paver SF-3404. The SF-3404 is built with decades of knowledge and technological advancements, delivering contractors the smoothest ride possible, saving valuable time and providing complete visibility around the machine, the manufacturer said. It paves a maximum of 40 ft. and features telescoping endpans for 2 ft. of width flexibility on each end. In addition, a heavy-duty plow, rigid paving pans and durable slew drives make the SF-3404 highly reliable and efficient. Also new with the SF-3404 is an optional compact, fully-controlled dowel bar insertion (DBI) system. It is equipped with a hydraulic floating floor to maintain the integrity of the initial slab and improve reconsolidation around dowel bars after the insertion process. Each time the DBI runs, the carriage recalibrates with electronic sensors to ensure the floor is exactly where it should be. In addition, the DBI is split to allow for accurate crowning and bar placement. Each bar is held and guided into the concrete to prevent skewing, even while crowning. When running DBI, the machine utilizes a collision avoidance system to prevent center tie bars and DBI from inserting at the same location. To create the smoothest ride possible,
the SF-3404 is equipped with the industry’s longest oscillating correctional beam (OCB) for smoothing the slab’s surface after dowel bar insertion. Power Pavers engineered a unique, heavy-duty OCB that is 30 in. tall with a 24 in. finishing length for full coverage over the dowel insertion void. The OCB corrects any surface imperfections with ease. For transportation, the DBI, OCB, OCB wiper and final finisher are contained in a single assembly. A vibrator cruise control automatically adjusts the machine’s vibrators to maintain consistent speed despite fluctuations in oil viscosity or changes in concrete slump. For super-elevations and intersections, an exclusive crown-distance compensation feature provides automated crown transitions between the mold, DBI and OCB, according to the manufacturer. As with other Power Pavers, the SF3404 is designed with simplicity in mind. The machine features numerous other thoughtful details to simplify operators, finishers and mechanics’ jobs. It is equipped with Power Pavers’ signature SlipSmart control system for simple, highly configurable machine controls. All machine diagnostics are onboard, with no laptop required. The new system provides fault codes for everything on the machine, including the DBI. Common bolt sizes and color-coded wiring throughout the machine keep maintenance simple.

During a recent demonstration, the Voltstack 30k, an all-in-one mobile site power and equipment charger, played a key role in successfully charging the 8520C EPaver, ensuring maximum uptime performance.
LeeBoy, Portable Electric to Advance Paving Electrification LeeBoy, an industry leader in commercial asphalt paving equipment, and Portable Electric (PE), a leading manufacturer of portable and mobile e-Chargers and eGenerators, are working together to advance the electrification of the asphalt paving industry. Introduced at ConExpo, LeeBoy’s 8520C E-Paver is a commercial-class electric asphalt paver that utilizes various electric vehicle components and propulsion technologies supplied by General Motors, engineering assistance from Engine Power Source and Powertrain Control Solutions. This prototype serves as a demonstration of the electrification potential within the commercial asphalt paving sector. During a recent demonstration, the Voltstack 30k, an all-in-one mobile site power and equipment charger, played a key role in successfully charging the 8520C EPaver, ensuring maximum uptime performance. LeeBoy is utilizing the Voltstack 30k unit as both companies collaborate to explore future solutions for paving electrification. Voltstack mobile electric equipment chargers are designed to promote electric machinery adoption and provide a versatile on-site power solution at construction job sites. The Voltstack 30k e-Charger offers a range of charging solutions while serving as
a silent, emission-free on-site power source. Its innovative “Smart Hybrid” feature seamlessly integrates with traditional gas or diesel generators, optimizing efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. “We are excited to collaborate with LeeBoy in electrifying the paving industry,” said Keith Marett, CEO of Portable Electric. “This collaboration marks the beginning of an exciting journey to redefine how paving is done, focusing on efficiency, innovation and the ability to meet future demands of the industry.” “Working with Portable Electric is a significant step forward. The Voltstack ecosystem will play a crucial role in ensuring the success of our electric equipment and maximizing uptime on our construction projects,” said Chris Broome, senior product manager at LeeBoy. “Today, with the Voltstack Level 2 eCharger, we have the ability to recharge the paver for 15 minutes at Level 2 and get an extra 19 tonnes of asphalt. In terms of future solutions, Level 3 is critical to our success. With Level 3 charging, the same 15-minute charging window will lead to an additional 57 tonnes of asphalt. That extra production will be game-changing.” For more information, visit LeeBoy.com and portable-electric.com.

Steve Freckmann Retiring as GM of ALL Crane’s Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental The new year will bring big changes to Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental, a member of the ALL Family of Companies, as it will be the first time in more than three decades that Steve Freckmann isn’t its general manager. Freckmann is retiring at the end of 2023 after 34 years as GM and 45 total years with Dawes. Freckmann is a crane business lifer, starting out part-time in the shop and yard as a pre-teen. In fact, it was Freckmann’s father, Thomas, who was a part owner of Dawes before selling to the ALL Family in the late 1970s. Steve Freckmann succeeded his dad as general manager in 1989. Steve Freckmann has been active and highly visible in the local and national business communities. Steve Freckmann “I’m proud of my involvement serving on the board of directors of the Association of General Contractors of Greater Milwaukee as well as various committees,” said Freckmann. “Also, I’m grateful for the time I’ve spent serving on the various committees of the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association.” Freckmann is a longtime believer in the value of SC&RA,
including a decade and a half serving on various committees, with a chairmanship on the Crane & Rigging Group, and a three-year term on the board of directors. He currently serves on the Crane & Rigging Group Labor Committee. “Even though I’ll be departing my formal service in SC&RA, I’m pleased that ALL is still represented through the participation of Rick Mikut, ALL’s crawler crane division manager, and Derek Baumgartner, our director of risk management and counsel,” said Freckmann. “The Freckmann name is legendary within the ALL Family,” said Michael L. Liptak, CEO and president of ALL. “Steve’s leadership has helped make Dawes synonymous with quality performance, integrity and service. We Brandon Varness wish him all the best as his decades with us come to a close.” Continuing ALL’s legacy of promoting from within, Ryan Harrison, current branch manager of the Madison, Wis., Dawes branch and a 24-year ALL veteran, will succeed Freckmann as general manager.

Thunder Creek Equipment Names Bobcat, Employees Donate More Than Varness Sales Mgr. $175,000 During Fall Giving Campaign
Bobcat Company and its employees recently held their annual fall giving campaign, garnering more than $175,000 in donations to nonprofit organizations in 17 states. To support its employees in their philanthropic pursuits, Bobcat matched employee donations dollar for dollar (up to $3,000 per person) to further amplify employees’ generosity. Employees were eligible to select any organization with a 501(c)(3) status to donate to. “We are thrilled we could further our employees’ donations and help them give back in a way that was personally meaningful to them through our fall giving campaign,” said Tina Amerman, Bobcat Director People Programs. “We continue to see strong participation in this annual event and have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to positively impact a wide variety of local organizations.”
Bobcat continues to partner with United Way — a relationship that has spanned more than 20 years — to support its mission of inspiring and activating communities to improve lives. United Way remained a featured charity for this year’s campaign, receiving strong employee and organizational support in addition to more than 100 other nonprofit recipients selected by employees. The fall giving campaign wrapped up a season of volunteering and community efforts on behalf of the company. For example, in September, Bobcat announced that more than 1,000 employees dedicated their time and talents to participate in more than 100 volunteer projects globally. The companywide volunteer projects aimed to give back to the communities where Bobcat employees live and work. This volunteerism is on top of the generosity Bobcat employees exhibited financially.
Additionally in 2023, Bobcat donated $5 million to support a new engineering facility at North Dakota State University and partnered with the National Recreation and Park Association with $250,000 in grants to help create sustainable community park and recreation areas throughout the United States. In addition, Bobcat supports educational STEM programs through its annual grant program and serves as the lead sponsor for the Bobcat North Dakota Open, donating more than $1.2 million since 1984, in support of The Village Family Service Center’s community outreach services. Bobcat is committed to investing time and resources in its communities. The organization has a long history of volunteer efforts, including providing time, resources and charitable contributions to help create a stronger tomorrow. For more information, visit bobcat.com.

we realized how much time and money the technology could save us.” In order to maximize the investment in the iMC technology, DeCook crews required additional training. Chris Potter, technology solutions expert, was instrumental in making that happen. “We were really green,” said DeCook. “The operators had been doing their jobs the same way for their whole careers, but Chris was great about explaining the technology to them and being patient. He probably came down more than he was supposed to, but he really wanted us to learn it.” The machines have proven themselves in the field. “You can program in your project, boot it up and dig to grade,” said Sean Kutzler, operator. “You don’t need to check anything. You can use a laser if you want, but the intelligent Machine Control technology is spot on.” “Having multiple pieces of intelligent Machine Control equipment has helped our efficiency,” said Beck. “We can dig to grade faster, and it improves the capabilities of all of our operators. They have surpassed my expectations on what they can do, especially in helping us come up with competitive

bids.” Trusted Partner Twelve-machine purchases don’t happen on a whim. They are the result of trust built over years. The relationship with RMS began in 2008, and it has only strengthened over the years. “Jeff has been great to work with, and so
has everyone at RMS,” said DeCook. “When we were small, we would get in spots where we needed something quick. They always worked with us to get us a machine, whether it was a demo, rental or RPO. Other companies weren’t as flexible. RMS trusted us, and that helped us grow. It’s led to a great relationship, and a lot of equipment purchases, too. They were there for us
when we needed them, and I haven’t forgotten that.” That commitment from RMS goes beyond just sales, too, said DeCook. “We can’t afford to stop working because a machine is down. RMS does a great job of either fixing the machine quickly or getting us a replacement to keep us going. It’s pretty monumental, no matter what, RMS always seems to figure something out to keep us running. And it’s always been that way. Whether we had two guys or 100, they’ve been there for us. “Whenever someone hires us for a job, we know we can get it done in a timely manner because of RMS.” “On the service side whenever we need something, they are there for us,” said Beck. “Especially with the training on the iMC. Bar none, they are the best.” DeCook said he considers RMS a partner in his business. “It isn’t all about RMS when we’re working with them, they want us to succeed. They’re ahead of the competition because they understand that relationships are an investment. If we are successful, they are going to be successful, too. There is a lot of trust and respect between us because we are both looking out for each other.”

Mecalac Makes Impact On Wheeled Excavator Market For decades, European contractors have been finding increased utilization for the wheeled excavator and in many cases, in applications that have never been seen in the United States. In recent years, this has been particularly true for the compact wheeled excavator. It’s not unusual for innovation in the excavating trades to begin in Europe and work its way to North America. Take the tiltrotator as an example. In parts of Europe the majority of excavators sold are equipped with a tiltrotator, employing technology that is just now starting to achieve momentum in the United States. What has been driving the increased utilization of the compact wheeled excavator in Europe? • Mobility — wheeled machines can be driven down the highway without surface damage, eliminating the need for additional transportation equipment and reducing logistical challenges. • Reduced Ground Damage — in delicate environments, rubber-tired excavators cause minimal ground damage and distribute the weight of the machine more evenly, reducing impact on ground surface, making them an ideal tool in parks and historical areas and for any environment where surface preservation is essential. • Improved Fuel Efficiency — reduced weight of rubber tires when compared with steel tracks converts to lower fuel consumption. • Versatility and Maneuverability — these machines navigate well through confined spaces and challenging terrains
with ease. A compact design with all-wheel steer and 360degree rotation enable operators to work in very tight areas that would often be a challenge in urban settings with older infrastructure. • Attachment Versatility — rubber-tired excavators can be equipped with virtually any attachment that a tracked machine can handle, including all types of buckets, hammers, grapples and augers for digging. • Urban Construction Adaptation — in Europe, construction projects often require precision work with minimal to no disruption to nearby infrastructure. Rubber-tired machines adapt well to these scenarios with reduced ground pressure and noise levels. • Road Construction and Maintenance — this application is already being used in parts of the United States. Rubbertired machines are ideal for installing road barriers, repairing damaged pavement and other road work … again, causing minimal surface damage and the ability to quickly move from one site to another. Several companies are now leading the way in importing these compact workhorses into the United States, one of which is Mecalac with its MWR series wheeled excavators. The Mecalac machines are available in four different sizes: • 7MWR weighing 16,000 lbs. • 9MWR weighing 17,000 lbs. with a back blade, giving it the ability to push as well as dig. see EXCAVATOR page 70
Equipped with an Engcon tiltrotator and grapple, Canonica Land Works’ Mecalac 11MWR easily manipulates large tree trunks.
Contractors Add Compact Wheeled Excavators for Unique Applications Increasingly, contractors across the country are adding compact wheeled excavators to their fleet with a variety of unique applications. Here are two contractors that are realizing incredible benefit from using Mecalac equipment. Kobo Utility Kobo Utility in Cape Cod, Mass., categorizes itself as a heavy electrical contracting company that also does a lot of utility work. Kobo has a broad reach with offices in Massachusetts, Florida and California. “We started the process of replacing tractor loader backhoes in our fleet with wheeled excavators years ago,” said Kevin O’Neil, president of Kobo Utility. “At that time, the excavators that were available to us were not an ideal solution. They were big and somewhat cumbersome. What we were really on the hunt for was a wheeled excavator that was under 30,000 pounds.
“I had been doing some research and became aware that Mecalac produced a machine that fit the category that I was looking for and initially I was disappointed to find out that they were not being brought into the United States. That all changed in 2016 when Lorusso Heavy Equipment in Massachusetts became the first dealer in the country. We purchased a Mecalac 9MWR weighing 17,000 lbs. “With the Mecalac’s unique design, each time I added a Mecalac to the fleet, I was not only gaining an excavator, but also a telehandler with a set of forks, and a skid steer because of the Mecalac’s ability to push material. We were able to reduce our equipment inventory with every Mecalac purchase. “It was a bit of a process, but it didn’t take long for our operators to prefer to have a Mecalac on the job versus the equipment that we were replacing. Another bonus
that we discovered was transportation. To haul a tractor loader backhoe to a job site, the backhoe took up 30 feet on the trailer. All folded up the Mecalac only took 9 feet. “Surprisingly, we found that the Mecalac, which we were using as a multi-functional piece, did each job assigned to it better than the purpose-built machine that it was replacing. It dug better than an excavator, it lifted better than a telehandler and it pushed better than a skid steer. “In comparing the Mecalac to a telehandler, you can pick up heavier materials, lift them straight up in the air, spin around 360 degrees and drop it directly behind you. You can never do that with a telehandler. A skid steer loader gives you terrible visibility and tears up a job site. With a Mecalac, you just pull into the pile, lift up the load and pull away. Your view is elevated, it’s perfect, and the wheels do no surface damage at all. “When I compare the working
capacity of a tractor loader backhoe to the Mecalac MWR, the Mecalac digs better and loads better than a tractor loader backhoe and takes up far less space. It’s a win-win. Loading the truck is so much easier with the Mecalac. The loading bucket has full rotation and higher reach, and the truck can be parked virtually anywhere. With Mecalac’s unique coupler design you can change out from the digging bucket to the loading bucket literally in seconds without leaving the cab.” The versatility of the Mecalac has made Kobo Utility’s transportation much simpler — one trailer, one machine and a handful of attachments that would typically include a narrow digging bucket, a 36-in. digging bucket, a loader bucket and a skid steer plate that allows it to add a couple of attachments like a set of forks and a sweeper. see CONTRACTOR page 70

How Optimize Your Business With Compact Equipment By John Weber RDO EQUIPMENT CO.
Mini-excavators, skid steers, compact track loaders — contractors of all sizes hail these for their versatility and adaptability across various tasks. Whether digging, grading, lifting or hauling, these machines can be equipped with various attachments, making them multi-functional powerhouses. This adaptability saves time and space and minimizes the need for numerous specialized machines, effectively reducing costs and the environmental footprint. Besides adaptability, contractors cite small construction equipment as their first steppingstone to grow their business. It’s cost-effective, has low-financing options and is easily found at local dealerships. Compact equipment may be the key for those wanting to open the door to a new opportunity. Here are some challenges contractors said were solved by owning compact construction equipment. Managing High Fuel Costs With national average diesel fuel prices soaring at around $4 per gal., compact construction equipment (CCE) has become the preferred choice for contractors handling projects with tight budgets and schedules.

• 11MWR weighing 24,000 lbs., also equipped with a back blade. • 15MWR weighing 34,000 lbs., also equipped with a back blade. Mecalac, a relative newcomer to the U.S. market, has long been held in high esteem in Europe as being a leader in technology, and is rapidly gaining the same reputation in North America. The Mecalac MWR is not simply a tracked excavator that was redesigned to add wheels. The MWR was designed
Mecalac’s unique three-piece boom configuration and coupling system allows for a wide variety of attachments and applications.
from the ground up to be a wheeled excavator. This design has given the machine a very low profile with service access points that are literally just a couple of feet from the ground. A very low center of gravity makes the Mecalac MWR the most stable wheeled excavator in its class on the market, according to the manufacturer. Maintenance also is safe and efficient, with every essential access point reachable with your feet on the ground. The cab is 20 percent lower than other machines, making the cab easily accessible to the driver. The Mecalac operator technology is user-friendly due to a unique central selector. The operator can switch into road, operating, or parking modes in a single movement rather than having to go through several steps. All Mecalac MWR machines feature the 360-degree ISO stability, which means machine stability remains the same regardless of the rotation angle of the upper carriage. All MWR machines are equipped with all-wheel steering, allowing operators to practically turn on the spot, the manufacturer said. The Mecalac unique multi-segmented boom configuration allows the machine to have reach combined with lifting power that’s never before been seen in a machine its size, the manufacturer added.
North America and is finding that resistance to the concept is lessening. “Municipalities are opting to purchase wheeled excavators to accomplish their excavating needs because it is so much easier to drive a wheeled excavator that is capable of speeds over 20 miles an hour to the site than it is to deal with all of the hassle of loading, transporting and unloading a
Growing Demand Geoffrey Andrews, a product specialist of Mecalac, is tasked with expanding the market for wheeled excavators in
A utility contractor like Kobo Utility can find numerous applications throughout the day for its fleet of Mecalac MWR machines.

Mecalac Machines Save Time On Larger Footprint Projects CONTRACTOR from page 66
“When we work on a project with a large footprint like an airport, the Mecalac becomes a huge timesaver. We are able to quickly dispatch the machine when we have to move from one end of the site to the other at 20-25 miles per hour. The hydraulic flow is extraordinary, much better than any skid steer we have ever owned or any excavator in the same size category. Among other things, that hydraulic flow converts to great hydraulic attachment performance.” Kobo Utility is equally pleased with its dealer, Lorusso Heavy Equipment. “Lorusso has done an astounding job supporting us, and very importantly, as we have moved our fleet all across the country, we have found that the other Mecalac dealers are equally supportive. The technicians are properly trained and typically the parts are in inventory.”
Canonica Land Works Canonica Land Works based in Chelsea, Vt., specializes in landbased excavation work such as stone wall construction, trail maintenance and stream reconstruction. The company currently uses a Mecalac 11MWR weighing 24,000 lbs., but this was not its first Mecalac purchase. Eight years ago, Ben Canonica purchased the first Mecalac 10MCR multi-function excavator that was brought into the United States from Europe. The Mecalac 10MCR, which is actually a hybrid combination of an excavator and compact track loader met their needs. “There obviously would not have been a second purchase unless the original purchase of the 10MCR had gone well,” Canonica said. Canonica Land Works is involved in a lot of environmentally sensitive work, much of it in the Vermont countryside. A few years ago, it became evident that an
invasive species from Asia called the “emerald ash borer” was settling into the woods of Vermont and doing massive tree damage, which would result in the necessity to have thousands of ash trees removed, many of them along the roadside. This led Canonica to the conclusion that he would be well situated to be hired for that type of work if he purchased a compact wheeled excavator. Canonica Land Works also does a lot of work on gravel roads and dirt trails where a rubber-tired machine would do less damage to the road surface. From his previous experience with the Mecalac 10MCR, he had a very high degree of confidence in the technology and the product support that comes along with buying the Mecalac product. According to Canonica, “Everything about working with the Mecalac machines is innovative, but the one thing that probably stands out the most to me is the
unique design of their three-piece multi-segmented boom. It allows you to dramatically increase your lifting capacity and digging flexibility by bringing the main boom back next to the cab. “You can almost raise and lower the load like a forklift with the intermediate boom. You can also position the boom to work around obstacles or under obstacles, but what really stands out the most is the lifting capacity.” Canonica had an immediate need that gave him an opportunity to rent a Mecalac 11MWR for a few months to make sure it was going to meet his expectations: he needed to do some riverbed restoration work from severe flooding that had happened locally and to access the site, he needed to traverse some agricultural areas and get in and out of the river area doing as little damage as possible. “Everything about the machine see CONTRACTOR page 84

DEVELON Unveils DX62R-7, DX63-7 Mini-Excavators DEVELON has introduced all-new 6-metric-ton miniexcavators — the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 — for use in the United States and Canada. The two DEVELON excavators replace the previous iterations and join the line of next-generation -7 Series mini-excavators. The DX62R-7 and DX637 have an updated design and impressive horsepower and weight. These machines offer standard telematics, powerful digging and lifting, attachment versatility, exceptional operator comfort and durability features, according to the manufacturer. Developed to optimize productivity, the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators are equipped with features that enable operators to tackle big jobs in challenging environments. Top applications for these new DEVELON models include landscaping, construction and underground utilities. The DX62R-7 has a reduced tail swing design. The tail swing extends just a few inches beyond the width of the excavator tracks, minimizing the chances of encountering objects or buildings when rotating the machine. The DX637 is a conventional tail swing excavator. Both are available in standard or optional long arm configurations, for when more reach and dig depth are needed. For enhanced durability, the new -7 Series mini-excavators are designed with a width-protected swing frame. Operators can get closer to their work, including being flush against a structure or wall, when offset digging. The excavators’ swing casting and cylinders remain within the track width at full left-swing, making it less likely that operators will damage these components when working in tight or confined areas. An integrated counterweight improves the
The DX62R-7 has a reduced tail swing design. The tail swing extends just a few inches beyond the width of the excavator tracks, minimizing the chances of encountering objects or buildings when rotating the machine.
machines’ lifting capacity and robustness. When turning, grading and maneuvering, the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators will auto downshift, so they won’t bog down when traveling. As the load decreases, the excavators automatically shift back into high range. To reduce noise, improve jobsite communications and save fuel, the standard auto idle feature idles the engine automatically when machine functions are not used for a few sec-
onds. When an operator moves the controls, the excavator automatically returns to the previous throttle setting. A steel track undercarriage option is available for demolition work or other applications where working around sharp objects could damage the standard rubber tracks. New -7 Series mini-excavators offer steel-track and rubber-shoe conversion with minimal modification required. Standard on the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 is a thumb-ready arm that includes durable mounts integrated into the arm, eliminating the need for welding when adding a thumb. The new hydraulic quick-coupler-ready design with quick-coupler hydraulic piping installed to the end of the arm allows for easy attachment changes. Operators won’t need additional accessories to install a compatible quick coupler to the machine, helping to reduce the time it takes to switch attachments. The excavators offer one-way/two-way hydraulic flow. For improved control, hydraulic flow is activated through the joystick, not the pedal. One-way hydraulic flow only requires hydraulic power in one direction, for such attachments as hydraulic breakers and plate compactors. Two-way hydraulic flow is ideal for mini-excavator attachments that need bidirectional flow, such as hydraulic thumbs (clamps), rippers and grapples. Attachments help operators complete multiple tasks using one machine. DEVELON offers a heavy-duty bucket, ditchcleaning bucket, thumb, manual quick-hitch and hydraulic quick coupler that makes changing other attachments quick and easy — including augers, hydraulic breakers, plate compactors, grapples, rippers and flail mowers. The DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators come standard with a high-performance heating and air conditioning system. This improvement in comfort for mini excavator operators takes productivity to a new level on long, hot days. Fully integrated heat and air conditioning with multiple vents throughout the cab improves operator comfort and performance for all-day operation. A thumb switch on the right joystick controls auxiliary hydraulic functions, making fine adjustments effortless and improving operator efficiency and comfort throughout the day. Boom swing is controlled by a thumb switch on the left joystick rather than foot pedals. The DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators are designed with a framed, full glass door that provides exceptional visibility to the area alongside the excavator. Operators will have a better view when using the machine in tight areas.

A rearview camera is available as an option for increased visibility behind the excavator. High-illumination LED lamps provide enhanced visibility to the work area to ensure that operators can see the workgroup, particularly the attachment. An optional rotating beacon is available for enhanced safety when operators are working in hightraffic areas or low-light situations. With the standard Bluetooth audio, operators can more easily communicate without removing their hands from the joystick controls. They also can enjoy music or their favorite podcast while they’re working. A selectable control pattern is a standard feature. Operators can choose the control pattern they prefer: ISO or BHL. To facilitate daily maintenance, the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators offer easy access to filters and oil service points. A centralized boom swing cylinder greasing makes critical maintenance simple. A convenient battery disconnect completely disables the battery connection, protecting the battery life during extended stor-
age periods. It also can provide an added measure of security on the job site after working hours. In addition, color-coded and labeled wiring and hydraulic hoses enable plug-and-play installation of electrical accessories — including the rotating beacon. DEVELON Fleet Management telematics system is a standard feature on the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators, making it easy for customers to remotely monitor and maintain their machine. They can monitor the health, location and productivity of the dozer from a user-friendly mobile app and website. The customer’s dealer also can see the equipment status and notify them when it’s time for service to minimize machine downtime. To further protect customers’ equipment investment, DEVELON offers its Smart X-Care service. An experienced team of equipment specialists actively track machine telematics from a secure machine monitoring center.

Low Center of Gravity Enhances Machine’s Stability EXCAVATOR from page 70
tracked machine. “Some people would argue that you can accomplish much the same task with a tractor loader backhoe. However, there are some distinct advantages that the Mecalac MWR has over a tractor loader backhoe. Try driving 20 to 25 miles an hour down the road with a tractor loader backhoe. The machine becomes almost impossible to handle. “Once you get to the site, you have to deploy your downriggers and they take up a lot of real estate. The fact that the boom is center-mounted becomes a major issue from a visibility standpoint. Operators must constantly look around the boom to see what they are digging. And with the backhoe, you can only swing 180 degrees left and right. If you’re picking up a load of material, your truck has to be beside you or in front of you and you have to be able to reach out long enough to get the cast of material into the truck and that’s not necessarily always an option. With our wheeled machine, the truck can be just about anywhere, even behind the excavator and receive a load. It adds an awful lot of flexibility to the site.” The loader aspect of a tractor loader backhoe is very impractical, Andrews added. “The loader capacity is a yard and a quarter to a yard and a half. Every time you pick up a load, the operator has to be very conscious of that whole backhoe that’s behind him or her, which can be very cumbersome. The tractor loader backhoe original design was a farm tractor with a loader attachment and a backhoe attachment put on a machine that was really built for pulling, not digging.” Ultimately, Andrews said, with a wheeled excavator with 360-degree continuous slew, operators can load more quickly, more efficiently and take up less space on a job site, which is exactly why more and more contractors are finding high value in using Mecalac equipment.
The Mecalac 9MWR easily handles concrete barriers.
Kobo Utility finds that its Mecalac MWR easily handles some of the heaviest of attachments, including this Power-Vac vacuum attachment.
One of the biggest attractions to the compact wheel loader is its ease of transportation, whether it be the small footprint it has on your trailer or the ease of driving it down the road to the next job site.
Kobo Utility uses its Mecalac wheeled excavators just as commonly as skid steers and telehandlers.
Wheels Give Operators Substantially More Comfortable Ride CONTRACTOR from page 70
impressed me. It was exactly what I would expect from a Mecalac. Very stable, good maneuverability and as I had hoped, very little impact on the land surfaces that the machine traversed as long as we were in reasonably dry conditions.” At the end of the rental period, Canonica pulled the trigger on the purchase. The attachments for his 11MWR were virtually interchangeable with his Mecalac 10MCR, which included an Engcon tiltrotator, a digging bucket, a ripper, a sorting grapple, a Rotastar screening bucket, a GMK multi-grab, a GMK
tree shear, a Shearex mulcher and a Rammer plate compactor. After the purchase of the Mecalac 11MCR, the predicted ash borer work and related tree removal came to fruition, some of which occurred on extremely hot days, which would have made the asphalt particularly susceptible to surface damage. Canonica also started using the Mecalac for tree removal in the forest, where he found the machine to be particularly adept. “The four-wheel steering gives great maneuverability; you really notice it in tight spaces. The other thing you notice with the wheeled machine versus the tracked
machine is that the wheels give you a substantially more comfortable ride.” Canonica wasn’t sure if he would keep his Mecalac 10MCR after the purchase of the Mecalac 11MWR, but in the end analysis, he found that certain applications were more desirable for a tracked machine, while others called for the wheeled machine. Keeping both just made sense. “This year we did a lot of stonework with the wheeled machine. A lot of projects were right at the end of homeowner’s driveways and gravel roads, so often we were set up right on the hard road or the property owner’s
property. It was very noticeable how quick and comfortable the machine was and that we weren’t tearing up any surface area at all. “We are in a very rural area, so it’s not often that I get the benefit of driving the machine from project to project and eliminating the hauling process. But, when we can, it’s certainly nice to take advantage of that. I do appreciate how compact the machine is and it’s great to be able to load up the excavator and all of our attachments into a single load.” CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2023 Construction Equipment Guide.

Electric Mining Truck...
GM, Komatsu Collaborate to Develop Hydrogen Fuel Cell-Powered 930E General Motors and Komatsu will co-develop a hydrogen fuel cell power module for Komatsu’s 930E electric drive mining truck, the world’s best-selling ultra-class haul truck. GM, a leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology, and Komatsu, a global manufacturer of mining and construction equipment, will jointly design and validate the technology. Lightweight and quick to refuel, hydrogen fuel cells are ideal for electrifying applications traditionally powered by diesel engines. Hydrogen provides an effective method to package large quantities of energy onboard the vehicle, without compromising payload carrying capacity. Additionally, fuel cells provide an excellent zero tailpipe emissions solution for vehicles with extreme hauling requirements, like the Komatsu 930E mining truck, with its nominal payload of 320 tons. These vehicles typically operate at a single mine throughout their life, which simplifies the challenges of sizing and deploying an effective hydrogen refueling infrastructure to service the vehicle fleet. “At GM, we believe fuel cells can play an integral role in a zero-emissions future, helping to electrify heavier-duty applications, beyond passenger vehicles,” said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM’s Global HYDROTEC business. “Mining trucks are among the largest, most capable vehicles used in any industry, and we believe hydrogen fuel cells are best suited to deliver zero emissions propulsion to these demanding applications.” Komatsu’s fuel cell-powered mining trucks will provide an additional pathway for decarbonization beyond batterytrolley or battery-static charging solutions, without the need for additional charging infrastructure within mines. Komatsu has set a target of reducing its global emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and a challenge target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The plans for achieving these goals include reducing and eliminating emissions within t h e
company’s product offerings, as well as in the company’s facilities and production of its products. Komatsu also works closely with its customers on reducing and eliminating emissions during product use through optimization programs supported by Komatsu technology and service solutions. GM’s target is to be fully carbon neutral in both products and operations by 2040. “Finding new ways to power the equipment our customers need to do the vital work of mining and construction is a critical part of our commitment to supporting a more sustainable future,” said Dan Funcannon, vice president of North America engineering and development for Komatsu. “This is essential work that requires cross-industry collaboration, and we are excited to be working with GM on this important solution for a haulage offering without tailpipe emissions.” GM and Komatsu intend to test the first prototype HYDROTEC-powered mining vehicle in the mid-2020s at Komatsu’s Arizona Proving Grounds (AZPG) research and development facility. This vehicle will be powered by over 2 megawatts of HYDROTEC power cubes. GM has been conducting fuel cell research and product development for more than 50 years and is one of the only companies with advanced, homegrown technology platforms for both lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. GM and Komatsu believe these complimentary technologies can help spur the adoption of lower-emission mobility solutions and help other industries beyond passenger vehicles meet their sustainability goals.

Paladin Introduces IceShark Snow Blower for Skid Steers Paladin announced the debut of its new 250 Series IceShark snow blower for skid steers. The IceShark is designed to offer the cleanest scrape, even in challenging winter conditions, according to the company. “The Paladin IceShark snow blower offers some of the most innovative features in the snow and ice removal industry. With the innovative back drag blade, 3D floating hitch and easily adjustable skid skis, the IceShark snow blower was designed to maximize productivity for snow removal contractors,” said Bradley Coffee, senior product manager, Paladin Compact Attachments. “The floating hitch allows users to get the cleanest scrape possible, which reduces the amount of salt needed. The backdrag blade allows users to remove snow up close to garages and buildings, leading to less manual shoveling. Both of these equal savings in the contractor’s pocket.” see ICESHARK page 96

Iowa DOT Testing ‘Whip Lights’ for Highway Snowplows
Iowa DOT photo
This winter, the Iowa Department of Transportation will be testing new “whip lights” on several of its snowplows.
This winter, the Iowa Department of Transportation will be testing new “whip lights” on several of its snowplows — lights attached to the edge of the plow to not only better highlight the vehicle’s position to oncoming traffic, but also provide a “visual cue” to the plow operator. Those amber “whip lights” will eventually take the place of the flags currently used to show the edge of the plow blade, the agency said. “We’ve used these whip lights pretty extensively around the state on wing plows on the side of the trucks and tow plows that are being pulled behind a truck,” said Tina Greenfield of Iowa DOT’s maintenance bureau, in a recent blog post. “They work very well to help drivers see where the plow blade is working. Now, we’re taking this technology a step further and attaching them to the front plow blade.” Different lengths of lights will be tested on plows in several Iowa DOT shops around the state, she added. “We have a number of different trucks with different dimensions,” Greenfield said. “We want the whip lights to be in the view of the operator, but we don’t want them too tall. We’re experimenting with both 18-inch and 24-inch lights.” While she said that such whip lights are “a simple concept,” they also offer the potential to provide a big safety impact, especially on rural two-lane roads. “One of our goals when we’re plowing these roads is to expose the paint lines, especially the center line,” Greenfield explained. “That means we’re plowing very close to oncoming traffic. The easier it is to see where the plow is working, the safer we’ll all be when we share the road.” The Iowa DOT noted that it has been experimenting with several technologies — including new lighting and wiper blade systems — to improve snowplow safety during the past year.

3D Floating Hitch The new 3D floating hitch provides smooth operation on uneven surfaces. This feature offers side-to-side, up-and-down and front-to-back motion. This hitch achieves an uninterrupted scrape, resulting in a cleaner surface and reducing the need for salt, according to the company.
The dual articulating chute gives the operator control over where to direct snow placement. The chute with 270 degrees of motion, can blow snow anywhere from 3 ft. to 45 ft.
Steel Skid Skis The IceShark comes with toolless adjustable steel skid skis that allow for quick transitions from gravel to pavement. “We made a serrated auger standard across our snow blower line,” said Coffee. “To give users better control while removing snow, we created a dual articulating chute which allows users to place the
snow anywhere from right next to the blower or throw it up to 45 feet away. For users that are planning to use the snow blower on a sensitive surface, we also designed soft skid ski accessories that can be swap out the standard steel skis to help reduce the impact on the sensitive surface.” For more information, visit stanleyinfrastructure.com and stanleyblackanddecker.com.

on every facet of correctional technology. We’ve toured prisons all over the country. We’ve looked at what’s right and what’s wrong. The whole delivery methodology of this project has been dramatically different than anything to this point in the modern era in our agency.” The 1.4 million-sq.-ft. facility designed by Elevatus Architecture of Fort Wayne, Ind., will replace two existing facilities: the Westville Correctional Facility in LaPorte County and the nearby Indiana State Prison in Michigan City. The joint venture Build Westville combines the skills of F.A. Wilhelm Construction, Granger Construction and Garmong Construction Services. The new facility, also to be named the Westville Correctional Facility, is being constructed on 80 acres south of the existing facility and, when complete, will comprise
about 90-acres. “The existing Westville facility remains in operation and will remain in operation until the new prison is occupied, which has been an entirely new design criteria,” Orme said. “How do you build a prison next to and invade on 20 acres of the existing prison and keep it functional while you design and build the new prison. That’s been the balancing act. It’s worked out very well, but it’s taken an incredible amount of planning and teamwork.” The new correctional campus will house 4,200 men and feature a mental health facility with 240 beds, as well as academic education space and more vocational education space than any prison in the state. It also includes staffrequested amenities such as space where they can disengage from the prison population.
Naturally, one of the major considerations in the design was security. “In my world, a prison is a lot of security, electronics in how you control cell doors. Most cell doors are no longer controlled on a dayto-day basis by a staff member carrying a ring of keys. Most doors are controlled remotely through an automation system. The security electronics that go into one of these is as important during the construction phase as the brick and mortar that you put into the design. And quite frankly, it is very, very time consuming to do right in design.” The exterior is primarily precast concrete and the interior, precast steel modular cells. “They’re building those in a factory with skilled labor that has done this for decades, that know the product,” Orme said. “You don’t have any QC problems on
site with the cell module themselves and you add an incredible amount of efficiency to the project, so you also save a lot of money in the skill set required in northwest Indiana. If you were to build out of standard laid up block, you’d have to employ all the block layers. This way, we’re using a smarter product.” Unlike many prisons in the United States, the Westville campus will have no building more than two stories high because that would require elevators, Orme said. “You don’t want to move incarcerated individuals in elevators. Elevators are operationally challenging to a correctional environment. You keep the design criteria for buildings to two stories and under and you make them operationally efficient and operationally manageable,” he said. In addition to being the largest and best designed prison in

Construction crews with the Indiana-based joint venture, Build Westville, broke ground in October on a $1.2 billion correctional facility in Westville, Ind., touted not only as the largest, but the best.
Indiana, the new facility is also the first recipient in the country to earn a Green Prisons Award for sustainability, Orme said. “We embed sustainability in every facet of our operation,” he said. “This facility will be one of the most efficient energy efficient facilities ever built. Its thermal energy will be offset by a solar collection system. We’re using solar thermal technology for the collection of premium water. Prison is a huge, hot water generator. Everything we do in corrections, from food preparation to showering 4,200 incarcerated individuals, requires hot water. So hot water is one of our biggest energy consumption points. Also, we’re using a lot of new technology and energy distribution, chilled water delivery and circulation.” The facility is expected to be completed in early 2027. CEG

Ground Clearance LLC Offers Guidance to Navigate SBA Liens, Avoiding Fraud By Sue McKee-Neill SPECIAL TO CEG
Remember during the pandemic when we were huddled at home uncertain about the future, the economy and when we could go back to work? The Small Business Administration stepped in and offered dirt cheap loans for 30 years. It seemed too good to pass up for many. It was nearly free money that wasn’t going to be a burden to pay back. When we are looking for the bright side of things, we don’t always notice how that might turn on us or how obligated we will become. Within the papers signed, you authorized the SBA to file a blanket lien — on all of your business assets, all of your equipment and other personal property of your business. That means when you sell any asset, they want to be notified, just like your bank and the line of credit. It doesn’t matter if you used the funding, or it
was used for the asset you are wanting to sell now. It would have been awesome if they had provided information on what steps you would need to take, who to contact and how much time it would take to get a response, when you want to sell something. Then again, they might have, but in the honeymoon moment of getting the funding, it wasn’t important. The problem now is people are afraid of contacting the government. It feels like if asking for a release on one piece, they might take your business. Many sell their assets under their personal name instead of the business name, so the lien is not uncovered. That is fraud. If you purchased under the business name, you must sell under the business name. There are three offices for the SBA — El Paso, Texas; Birmingham Ala.; and Santa Ana, Calif. If you do an internet search for the office you used, you will find the document you need to fill out and send back along
with a compete UCC search. That’s right, it’s just one page. There will be an email address on the form to send the document and the UCC search. It isn’t that hard. Still intimidated? We can help. You still need to fill out the form and an authorization for Ground Clearance to contact the creditor to request a release for the specific asset(s). It will cost $50.00 plus the liens search. Cheaper than the potential price you will pay for defrauding the government. If you did not use the funding, you can request the lien be terminated. The lien follows the machine. Request proof of ownership when purchasing. This can be the bill of sale from the purchase or insurance on the unit. Request a UCC search for both business and personal names.
