Beckley Z-Way Project Pushes Forward

By Brittney Christopher CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Beckley Z-Way project, a highway and infrastructure project totaling more than $111 million in Raleigh County, W.Va., continues to progress as both sections currently remain under active construction.

Beginning in Spring 2024 and expected to last approximately two years, the Beckley Z-Way project has made great strides in a short window of time. Broken down into two major sections, Shady Spring to Beaver and Beaver to S. Eisenhower, the project spans approximately 5.5 mi. into Beckley, W.Va, a highly traveled and regularly congested area. With more than 17,000 residents and known for its long history of coal mining and ties to the Appalachian culture, Beckley, W.Va., resides near the New Rover Gorge National Park and Preserve and offers attractions like shopping, locally made arts and crafts, miles of hiking and even underground mining tours.

Ranked as the ninth most densely populated city within West Virginia and with more than 16,000 traveling vehicles passing through daily, the need for improved infrastructure and work to major highways US 19, WV 3 and I-64 only grew.

Five Star Equipment Launches Warhorse Rentals Division

Five Star Equipment, one of the Northeast’s leading John Deere dealerships, is making a significant move into the rental market with the launch of its new division, Warhorse Rentals.

The new business unit reflects a strategic step forward for the company, designed to broaden its customer reach and provide a complete spectrum of jobsite support across Pennsylvania and New York.

According to Bill Bochicchio Jr., COO of Five Star Equipment, the creation of Warhorse Rentals represents a natural evolution for the company — one that aligns with how today’s contractors operate.

“If you’re in the equipment business today, you almost have to be in the rental business if you really want to take care of your customer,” Bochicchio Jr. said. “It’s hard to serve them fully without being able to offer both rent-to-own and rent-to-rent options.”

Stand-Alone Brand With Its Own Identity

Unlike many dealerships that simply append “Rentals” to their name, Five Star chose to build a completely separate identity for its new division.

“A lot of dealers just tack the word ‘Rentals’ onto their name, and it all gets mixed in with the main dealership,” Bochicchio Jr. said. “We wanted to create a clear distinction so customers can see that this is a dedicated operation. That’s why we created Warhorse Rentals — with its own branding, its own staff, and its own focus.”

The long-term vision is to establish Warhorse as a fully independent business line with stand-alone rental facilities in key markets. For now, it is being launched from within Five Star’s existing network of branches while new sites are being scouted and developed.

tual ownership. Warhorse will complement that program with a full rent-to-rent fleet of compact and aerial equipment designed for short-term and job-specific use.

“The business is operating out of our current locations for the time being,” Bochicchio Jr. said. “But the plan is to expand into separate facilities. We’re already in the process of identifying the right properties in our major markets.”

Two Paths, One Strategy

Five Star has long been active in traditional dealership rentals that allow customers to apply payments toward even-

“We’re basically separating the heavy rent-to-own operation from this new rent-to-rent business,” Bochicchio Jr. said. “Warhorse will focus on the light and medium side — boom lifts, scissor lifts, compaction equipment and the general jobsite support tools that contractors need every day.”

By offering both models, Five Star aims to serve everyone from long-term heavy equipment owners to small contractors who may only need a lift or compactor for a week.

“Our customers use a wide range of tools on their job sites,” he said. “They’ve already relied on us for the larger iron and the service that goes with it. Warhorse allows us to fill in the rest — to be alongside them from shovel to ribbon-cutting.”

Dealer Expertise Gives Warhorse Edge

Bochicchio Jr. sees a clear difference between what a dealer-based rental operation can offer versus a traditional national rental chain.

“When it comes to technical support, parts availability and technology, that’s where a dealer has the advantage,” he said. “We’re a Topcon dealer, we have full-time product support specialists, and we already handle machine setup and calibration. If a contractor wants to try grade control on a rental machine, we can make that happen — and we can send someone to show them how to use it.”

He believes that kind of integrated support simply isn’t available through most large rental chains.

“The national companies do a great job moving equipment,” Bochicchio Jr. said. “But sometimes there are gaps in factory-trained technicians, warranty situations or the manufacturer relationships that we have built. That’s the difference — we can deliver the machine and the know-how.”

Alliance’s Demolition Relies On Komatsu East Equipment

Komatsu East’s Jim McKeever (L) discusses newly acquired Komatsu equipment, Montabert attachments and Lehnhoff quick couplers with Alliance Environmental Systems’ Rodney Goodwin.

Alliance Environmental Systems Inc. has built its reputation in the demolition industry on experience, efficiency and reliability. Based in West Chester, Pa., the company specializes in environmental remediation and demolition. Since 1994, Alliance Environmental Systems has provided comprehensive services that range from mold and asbestos removal to full-scale demolition projects.

“We take on projects of all sizes,” said Project Manager Rodney Goodwin. “Some days, we have a single operator cutting a small piece of concrete. Other times, we have 15 or 20 excavators working on a million-square-foot demolition job. Our flexibility is one of our biggest strengths.”

Alliance Environmental Systems operates primarily in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, with plans to expand into Maryland and Virginia. Its success stems from strong leadership and a cohesive team. Many employees have been with the company for decades, creating a culture of reliability and expertise. This longevity translates into smooth operations and consistent quality.

“We have a good solid crew of people, and a lot of them have been with us for 30 years,” Goodwin stated. “They know the work, they trust each other, and they get the job done safely and efficiently. That consistency is a huge asset for us. We get a lot of repeat work based on our reliability.”

has since built a strong partnership with the brand.

“We call it a soup-to-nuts process,” Goodwin explained. “We handle everything from utility shutoffs and asbestos removal to final cleanup. Clients don’t have to worry about coordinating multiple contractors because we take care of it all.”

On the jobsite, Alliance Environmental Systems handles every aspect of a project from start to finish. A typical project begins with environmental remediation, followed by demolition and material processing. This end-to-end service allows clients to work with a single contractor, streamlining project timelines and minimizing logistical challenges.

To complete its work efficiently, Alliance Environmental Systems relies heavily on Komatsu equipment from Komatsu Company-owned dealer Foley Inc., including a WA200 wheel loader and PC240LC11, PC360LC-11, PC390LC-11 and PC490LC-11 excavators. Alliance Environmental Systems transitioned to Komatsu equipment in the late 1990s and

“We had some issues with service and repair work with the previous brand we were using,” Goodwin commented. “As the industry knows, downtime is our worst enemy, and Komatsu helps us keep everything running smoothly. Now, all of our excavators and loaders are Komatsu.”

After 21 Years With American Equipment, Harry Wells Retires

Harry Wells is retiring with a title that says a lot about the path he’s taken: chairman of American Equipment.

Before that, he served as managing vice president and president of operations. The titles changed, but the through-line never did — sell honestly, answer the phone, solve problems fast and build relationships that last. His career spans from the late 1960s on dealer yards and job sites across upstate New York to building American Equipment, the sister company to Villager Construction, into a multi-state supplier, renter and service operation.

Wells studied at Williamsport Community College — known then as Williamsport Tech and today as Pennsylvania College of Technology, affiliated with Penn State — where programs covered equipment operation, diesel technology and the trades. In 1968, he joined Syracuse Supply, then the Caterpillar dealer for upstate New York. Soon after, he was drafted into the U.S. Navy Seabees (Construction Battalions) and spent nine months in Vietnam before an early out.

Returning home in the early 1970s, Wells found Operating Engineers Local 832 on strike during construction of Rochester’s Keeler Street Expressway. That pushed him away from an operator’s path and back to Syracuse Supply, where he worked seven years as a technician before management noticed something else: he could run iron, and he could talk to people.

They put him in a “Sentry Line” sales demonstrator role with a 10-wheel Ford and a 20-ton tag trailer, hauling the first-in-state Cat D3, 910 and 931 to contractors statewide. His first sales set a pattern —

quality prospects, plain talk and follow-through — placing those inaugural units with Keeler Construction (a D3), a glass manufacturer in Brockport (a 910) and Lewis Tree in Rochester (a 931).

Through the 1970s, he sold across a broader roadbuilding lineup Syracuse Supply carried alongside Cat — Blaw-Knox pavers, Road Widener/Road Widener equipment, GOMACO, Cedarapids and related lines—while Cat’s own product range was far smaller than it is today. Training at Cat’s Peoria school then covered “a couple motor graders, a couple trucks, dozers,” as Wells recalled — nothing like the breadth now.

Wells rose to large-account sales in the Rochester area, handling major contractors. When Milton Cat acquired Syracuse Supply in the early 2000s Wells decided to explore options outside of the Caterpillar world.

He interviewed broadly with other heavy equipment distributors. Then Dick Clark, owner of Villager Construction in Fairport, called. Wells had sold to Clark for years; there was mutual respect. Clark wanted Wells to help restructure and grow a related company that had existed mainly on paper and was brought on board as sales and marketing director.

American Equipment Grows

American Equipment existed before Wells arrived — “on the books” by 2002 — as an entity that purchased equipment and leased it to Villager. The structure was straightforward and common: American bought machines, sheltered sales tax upfront and Villager paid tax as it paid rent,

Harry Wells is retiring with a title that says a lot about the path he’s taken: chairman of American Equipment.

Crews Complete Upgrades to Thruway in Hudson Valley

The project, which began in 2024, included full and partial depth repairs on approximately 48 lane miles starting in Woodbury, just a short distance north of the thruway’s Exit 16 onto U.S. Highway 6 and N.Y. 17, to the highway’s Exit 17 in Newburgh, which connects motorists to I-84.

Approximately 53,000 drivers use this section of I-87 in both directions each day.

“New York State continues to deliver smoother, safer roads across the state, improving the driving experience for commuters, commercial drivers and visitors,” Hochul said in a news release from her Albany office. “Repaving the Thruway and keeping the road smooth for drivers is a critical investment given the important role the 570-mile superhighway serves in our transportation network and our state’s economy.”

both the northbound and southbound directions.

The contractor for the highway upgrades was Crisdel Group Inc., based in South Plainfield, N.J.

Its crew installed a 2-in. asphalt overlay to make the driving surface smoother. Other work included safety improvements such as the installation of new guiderails, new reflective line striping and upgrades to drainage and culverts.

Approximately 85 percent of the thruway’s roadway base dates to its original construction in the early 1950s, highlighting the need for heavy maintenance, reconstruction and rehabilitation activities to keep the riding surface in a state of good repair.

NYS Thruway Among Nation’s Most Dependable

Frank G. Hoare, executive director of the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) added, “Thousands of motorists depend on this section of I-87 each day to connect them to major roadways in the Hudson Valley like Interstate 84 and Route 17. This project enhances the reliability of the roadway and keeps it in good shape for those who depend on it.”

The improvements to I-87 stretched from mileposts 48 to 60.1 and included full and partial depth pavement repairs to address the most deteriorated portions on the highway in

Before joining AED, Lamy served as a federal affairs research analyst of McAllister & Quinn, where he focused on helping clients navigate the federal appropriations process. He also previously held a communications and government relations internship with the Household and Commercial Products Association (HCPA).

“I’m honored to join AED and contribute to its strong reputation as a leading voice for the equipment industry,” said Lamy. “I look forward to working with our members to ensure their voices are heard in Washington and Ottawa and to help further the association’s mission.”

AED maintains a full-time presence in Washington, D.C., Ottawa and Sacramento, advocating on behalf of its members before key lawmakers and regulators, The association ensures the equipment industry’s priorities receive full consideration on both sides of the border and provides members with access to the most influential decision-makers in North America.

The New York State Thruway is one of the oldest components of the National Interstate Highway System and one of the longest toll roads in the United States. The freeway’s mainline extends north and west for 496 mi. from the New York City line at Yonkers to the Pennsylvania state line at Ripley by way of I-87 and I-90 through Albany, Syracuse and Buffalo.

The maintenance and operation of the thruway system is funded primarily by tolls. NYSTA does not receive any dedicated federal, state or local tax dollars and is paid for by those who drive the route, including one-third of drivers from out of state.

In 2024, NYSTA processed more than 400 million toll transactions and motorists drove 8.2 billion miles on the road.

The agency’s 2025-2029 Capital Plan invests $2.7 billion into infrastructure and equipment, an increased commitment of $742 million (a 38 percent increase) since the approval of a multi-year toll adjustment plan in 2023. The additional investment will lead to work on approximately 61 percent of the thruway’s more than 2,800 pavement lane miles as well as the replacement or rehabilitation of 20 percent of its 819 bridges.

Constant vigilance on the part of NYSTA crews has helped to make the highway one of the safest in the country with a fatality rate far below the nationwide index, and toll rates are among the lowest in the United States compared to similar toll roads. 

Harry Wells Helped Put American Equipment On Map

from page 16

smoothing cash flow.

Wells joined April 2, 2004. On day one there wasn’t even a dedicated desk — “anybody not here today, use their chair.” He wrote a one-page plan to “bring American Equipment out of the closet,” renting and selling not just to Villager but to competing contractors, as well. Clark agreed immediately.

Wells listed American’s starting fleet: a Barber-Greene paver, several Cat 322 excavators, five or six wheel loaders, a Road Widener, trench boxes, and assorted support gear. Villager’s contracting revenue then ran approximately $20–$25 million annually as an open-shop, non-union pipe and paving contractor.

Two moves set American’s trajectory:

• Rental Alliance with Milton Cat. American committed to buy an initial tranche — four or five machines — then rent and grow from there with Milton’s support.

• Permanent Home at Exit 44. American bought 30 acres on NY-332 in Farmington, less than a half-mile from I-90’s Exit 44 — “gateway to the Finger Lakes.” Two pole barns became the nucleus. Within six months, the company opened the west building, put an American flag and a Rental Alliance sign out front, and were “officially open for business.”

Villager started in the milling business with a new and late-model fleet of cold planers. When Wirtgen introduced a mill with a folding conveyor — easier transport — and stronger electronics and promised support, Wells recommended buying Wirtgen. Loyal as he was to the company’s current supplier, he told Clark, “I feel like I’m shooting my dog,” but the mill was the right tool. So, they bought it.

The work also supports the milling program. The company is licensed as a contractor in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and others, bidding from Fairport and relying on local Cat/Wirtgen dealers for support in the Southeast. Transport is in-house: five lowboys in New York, another down south and the willingness to roll 12–14 hours to wherever the next spread needs to be.

“I owe my success to American and Villager, and I owe them a debt of gratitude.”

The choice proved out. American and Villager have since taken delivery of more than 65 Wirtgen mills (three in the most recent year alone), turning them at 6,000–7,000 hours. Trucks stay longer; high-hour mills turn for uptime and cost control. Over time, with ownership transitions at Villager, most equipment purchasing migrated back under American because of its credit strength and service capacity.

Crushing & Recycling, Multi-State Work, Transport Muscle

Today, the combined operation runs five mobile crushing and screening crews across the Northeast, with contract-crushing at large quarries and aggregate producers (for example, Seneca Stone and operations in the Buffalo area), taking on million-ton programs priced per ton.

Where American Equipment Stands Today

• Headquarters and Yard: Farmington, N.Y., on NY-332, a half-mile from I-90 Exit 44 on 30 acres.

• Divisions/Scope: Equipment rental, sales, service, contract crushing/screening and heavy road support (milling fleet for Villager and outside customers).

• Service Capacity: 18,000-sq.-ft. shop; track press; Cat-certified hose manufacturing; hydraulic testing; 12–13 technicians; open to outside customer work.

• Fleet: 90 excavators plus dozers, loaders, pavers, cold planers; five lowboys in N.Y., and one in the Southeast.

• Geography: Northeast base; licensed and active on subcontract work in N.C., S.C., Ga., Va., and beyond; bids centralized from Fairport.

Shop, Service, Niche Cat Certification

Approximately six years ago, American opened a new 18,000-sq.-ft. service shop with a track press, hydraulic hose manufacturing and testing and modern flow-test capability. The hose operation filled a gap — American is a Caterpillar-certified hose rebuilding/manufacturing facility, the only such option between Rochester and Buffalo. The shop supports Villager, American’s rental fleet and outside contractors. On any given week there may be machines from Buffalo RED, Bayside Paving and several towns in the bays. Current headcount runs 12–13 service technicians.

Fleet, Trading, Export

Harry Wells American Equipment

How Do Competitors Buy From a Competitor?

Wells said it starts with relationships and response time. Villager bids against many of the same firms American serves, but American has earned trust by calling back immediately, saying what it can do, and — if it doesn’t own the exact piece — finding it fast. That responsiveness brought in repeat business from out-of-state EPCs and solar developers and steady local work with firms like Admar (approximately $200,000 a year in rental/gear), DeMarco and municipalities. American focuses on “large dirt” and road work, as well as pipe contractors, stays out of commodity small-tool niches, and partners when it makes sense.

The fleet is broad and deep: approximately 90 excavators and the surrounding dozers, loaders, pavers, mills and support. American buys complete spreads when contractors exit — moving quickly due to credit and remarketing capacity — competing head-to-head with auctioneers like Ritchie Bros. and dealers when needed. Export is routine; American sells into multiple countries each year.

‘Attitude, Then Aptitude’

Wells’ philosophy is blunt. He hires slowly, fires quickly and screens first for attitude because “you can teach aptitude.” Every new hire gets a simple Code of Conduct: the customer has the right to be unhappy; return calls immediately; apologize when needed; do the commonsense things every time. It isn’t complicated; it is enforced. The payoff is in repeat work and a reputation for being easy to do business with.

• Customers: Villager; regional contractors (site, paving, municipal); national developers entering for solar and infrastructure; export buyers.

• Approach: Rapid response, fair dealing and practical product choices (for example, Wirtgen mills at 6–7K-hour turn; keeping trucks longer; buying complete spreads).

Chairman Steps Back

Wells’ last promotion — chairman — formalized what he was already doing: mentoring leaders, guarding the brand and ensuring the phones still get answered.

The job titles over the years — managing vice president, president of operations, chairman — reflect growth more than hierarchy. The mission stayed the same: equip Villager to perform, build American into a credible supplier to everyone else and defend the simple rules that win repeat business.

He summed up the arc without sentimentality. In 2004, American Equipment “had a sign on a pole barn and a few machines.” Today, it has a shop full of technicians, a book of business spanning municipalities to multistate contractors and a yard that turns iron constantly.

The cold-planer lineup numbers well north of 65 Wirtgens purchased over the years. The crushing spreads are busy. The phones are still answered on the first ring.

Harry Wells is retiring, but the culture he set — answer fast, do what you say, pick the right machine for the job — remains bolted to the frame.

“I owe my success to American and Villager, and I owe them a debt of gratitude as well as to my family, my employees and all our customers and suppliers,” Well said, “Thank you to all of you.”  CEG

PA Turnpike Uses Pavements Innovation

to Improve Roadway Conditions for Drivers

PA Turnpike photo Pavements that offer greater sustainability and longevity provide less construction congestion and interference, which in turn provides greater safety for our customer.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike) is finding innovative methods to enhance roadway durability and performance.

Turnpike photo

The Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike) is finding innovative methods to enhance roadway durability and performance.

Through the PA Turnpike’s Materials Laboratory, a specialized facility in Somerset that tests and analyzes materials for construction projects, a team of PA Turnpike employees are testing the materials provided by contractors to ensure it complies with PA Turnpike’s specifications. Technicians use equipment to simulate wear, pressure, rutting, heat and extreme conditions to test asphalt mixture durability over time.

Beyond testing samples of new asphalt, the team also is taking cores from the roadway to access the condition of the existing asphalt. During this process, they discovered that approximately 70 percent of the asphalt samples were deteriorating faster than expected. Their investigation led to new specs for asphalt materials on the PA Turnpike, requiring asphalt producers to now incorporate a Silane-based antistrip additive. This will help extend the asphalt’s service life. Testing will continue at the lab over the next few years to assess how well Silane-based anti-strip works in extending the life of the roadway.

Brian Paroda, supervisor of the PA Turnpike’s Materials Laboratory, is eager to bring safety to the forefront for PA Turnpike customers. Pavements that offer greater sustainability and longevity provide less construction congestion and interference, which in turn provides greater safety for our customer.

“One of the biggest issues we deal with is the freeze and thaw cycle of Pennsylvania’s seasons, which creates expansion and contraction that correlates to cracking and the premature failure of the asphalt,” said Paroda. “We’re always looking to increase the efficiency of our roadway through innovation, and this is a great example of how the PA Turnpike continues to find new ways to improve the quality of our roadway.”

“We are committed to providing the best experience for our traveling public and a part of that is a well-maintained

and smooth pavement,” said Christopher Forry, PA Turnpike materials management supervisor. “Improving the service life of our pavements is critical to reducing construction for customers. A longer service life is a win not only for the PA Turnpike, but for our customers as well.”

VATO C OUR EX A

PennDOT Awards $186M Contract to Build Southern Section of CSVT

It will cost nearly $200 million to complete the major work on a thruway project in central Pennsylvania, based on the bids opened Sept. 25 by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

The low bid of almost $186.4 million to pave and do other assorted work on the southern section of the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway (CSVT) was submitted by a joint venture made up of two Allegheny County, Pa., firms, Trumbull Corp., in Pittsburgh and Golden Triangle Construction Co. in Imperial.

The bid is approximately $1.3 million lower than the one submitted by a Bedford County contractor, one of three other companies that sent in bids.

“We are looking forward to starting the last major contract for this long-awaited project,” said Eric High, a PennDOT district executive. “The new highway will not only improve safety by separating trucks and other through traffic from local traffic but also facilitate economic growth in the region by connecting to other major transportation arteries.”

The low bid is close to the design estimate, he told the Patriot-News, which serves the greater Harrisburg-Carlisle area of Central Pennsylvania.

PennDOT anticipates awarding a contract within a few weeks, with construction beginning later this year, Hugh said.

That work will include:

• paving the CSVT mainline along with interchange ramps, and installing new guiderails, lighting, overhead signs and traffic signals;

• completing the Pa. Highway 61 connector that will provide direct access between the Thruway and the Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Susquehanna River between the communities of Shamokin Dam and Sunbury;

• adjusting local roads and property access along U.S. Highway 522 and U.S. 11/15 to accommodate CSVT’s southern interchange on the south end of Shamokin Dam;

• constructing a noise wall along the CSVT southbound lanes near south Old Trail;

• replacing the overpass carrying Pa. 61 across the existing lanes of U.S. 11/15 in

Shamokin Dam;

• completing the Cortland Drive connector between the Weatherfield and Orchard Hills neighborhoods in the town;

• reconnecting County Line Road between Park Road and U.S. 15; and

• resurfacing U.S. 11/15 in Shamokin Dam and Hummels Wharf between CSVT’s interchanges as well as Mill Road, 11th Avenue and nearly a mile of Park Road.

Ten Years, Counting On CSVT Construction Project

PennDOT anticipates a late 2027 opening of the southern section, which will connect the northern end of the U.S. 11/15 Selinsgrove Bypass with the Winfield U.S. 15 interchange that was built as part of the northern section of the new thruway.

The agency noted that the Pa. 61 connector project is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

PennDOT chose to delay that phase of the work until traffic was using the new highway so as to lessen congestion on U.S. 11/15 in Shamokin Dam while the overpass is being replaced.

The paving contract is the last major effort planned for the CSVT project. A smaller one is expected to be awarded in 2026, the Patriot-News reported, to install Intelligent Transportation Systems devices that include message boards and traffic cameras.

Chicago-based Walsh Construction Co. is completing a $106 million contract it received in late 2023 to build the nine bridges and four noise barriers.

The first contract for the Thruway’s southern section, valued at $115 million, was awarded to Trumbull in May 2022 for needed earthwork.

It has been 10 years since the first contract was awarded on the nearly $1 billion, 12.5mi. CSVT, which went to Trumbull for $156 million to build a nearly mile-long bridge over the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. After the structure was completed in 2020, the thruway’s northern section, of which it is a part, was opened in June 2022.

PennDOT said its data shows there has been a significant decrease in traffic on other roads since the northern section of the thruway was opened. 

Warhorse Rentals Expands Five Star’s Customer Reach

Early Launch Sites, Regional Footprint

The rollout of Warhorse Rentals is already under way, anchored by several Five Star locations that have fresh inventory, and begun staffing and building out dedicated rental spaces.

• Orchard Park, N.Y. (Buffalo area) — Four full-time staff members. Looking for an additional field representative.

• Rochester, N.Y. – three full-time staff members. Looking for an additional field representative.

• Syracuse, N.Y. – Looking for two additional field representatives.

• Kirkwood, N.Y. (Binghamton area) — One field representative and looking for an additional field representative and inside coordinator

• Dunmore, Pa. (Scranton area) — A dedicated rental operation is being built out in a converted building adjacent to the dealership. Looking for two additional field representatives.

• Waterford, Pa. (northwest Pennsylvania) — A newly acquired facility next to the existing Five Star location is under renovation and will serve both dealership and Warhorse functions. Looking for an additional field representative.

• Williamsport, Pa. (central Pennsylvania) – In process of identifying external facility for growth.

Together, these sites service the upper-half of Pennsylvania and Western New York.

“We will look to expand from there based on customer needs and market opportunity.” he added.

Manufacturing Partnerships, Product Lineup

While Warhorse Rentals is still in its early stages, Five Star has already secured partnerships with several major brands to complement its John Deere line.

“We have partnerships with a variety of reputable brands in aerial and light equipment,” Bochicchio Jr. said. “The goal is to have a broad, balanced lineup that serves everything from compaction to power generation”

That lineup will include:

• Aerial lifts (boom and scissor)

• Compact loaders, skid steers and excavators

• Compaction equipment

• Generators and air compressors

• Site support and specialty tools

Every unit will be maintained through Five Star’s service network, ensuring the same level of support customers have come to expect from the dealership’s core business, Bochicchio Jr. said.

Customer Experience, Visual Identity

Within existing branches, Warhorse will have its own signage, uniforms and segregated display areas to distinguish it from the dealership’s sales floor.

“It’s important that customers recognize Warhorse as its own operation,” Bochicchio Jr. said. “We don’t want it to feel like just another department in the dealership. It’s its own business, with its own processes, people and goals.”

Machines in the rental fleet will be cleaned, inspected and re-certified before each deployment.

“When a machine goes out, it’s charged, serviced, and ready,” he said. “We’re setting a high standard for presentation and turnaround. Our customers expect that from Five Star, and Warhorse will meet the same expectations.”

Long-Term Investment in Customer Service

For Bochicchio Jr., the move into rentals isn’t just about short-term growth — it’s about positioning Five Star for the next era of the construction equipment industry.

“This isn’t a side project,” he said. “It’s a major investment and a long-term commitment. We believe rental will strengthen our customer relationships and make us more resilient as a company.”

He added that the rental market’s growth has been impossible to ignore — both regionally and nationally — and that Warhorse allows Five Star to meet its customers where the market is headed.

“We see what’s happening,” he said. “Contractors want flexibility. They want options. Warhorse gives us the ability to provide that while maintaining the same level of service and trust that Five Star is built on.”

As the company continues to roll out Warhorse Rentals across its network, Bochicchio Jr. envisions a division that will eventually stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Five Star’s sales and service operations.

“We want Warhorse to grow into a full-scale brand of its own — one that customers recognize immediately,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s about helping contractors do their jobs more efficiently. If we can give them the right tools at the right time, with dealer-level support behind it, that’s a win for everybody.”

Warhorse Rentals is now operational through Five Star Equipment’s network in Pennsylvania and New York, with expansion continuing through 2026.

Z-Way Infrastructure Project in W.Va. Totals More Than $111M

Section One: Shady Spring to Beaver

Section one of the Beckley Z-Way project involves widening a three-lane roadway and converting a two-lane road into a three-lane road by adding a center turn lane within US-19 and WV-3 and stretches 3.6 mi.

Mountaineer Contractors Inc., awarded section one and based in Kingwood, W.Va. and a part of MCI Group, specializes in highway and utility work and work in eight states across the eastern side of the country including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and more.

Section one, consisted of 10 phases, currently has six active construction sites. These phases include relocating and reconfiguring utilities to the area, installing culverts and retaining walls, roadway build-up and more. Travelers can expect delays during underground line and pole relocation and overhead line work, which may extend beyond the project deadline. Areas most heavily affected include Glenwood Lane, Ransom Drive, Glade Springs/Lake Drive, Raleigh Center Road, the Green River Garden Center and Bobcat of Beckley. Minor detours include temporarily shifting into the existing shoulders — reduced to 10 ft. — and existing lanes. Paving began the second week of October 2025.

Once these phases are complete, Mountaineers Contractors will move the highway and infrastructure work to Raleigh Center Road, 4-H Lake Road, Regency Drive and Granby Circle. The bulk of remaining work consists of water line and sewage line relocations, drainage structure installation, roadway build-up and roadway widening. Once complete, Granby Circle will then tie into the second section of work, the Beaver to S. Eisenhower project.

Section Two: Beaver to S. Eisenhower

While section two of the Beckley Z-Way project only consists of a total of 1.93 mi. and 6,000-9,000 travelers daily, the complexity of the work, including relocating and adding a

roadway as well as realigning a stream, requires an experienced contractor. West Virginia Division of Highways awarded Kanawha Stone Company for the specialized work, a family-owned and -operated company. Based locally and with years of experience across the Appalachian region,

Kanawha Stone Company began its work in late 2024.

First, Kanawha Stone Company began blasting sections between Old Crow Road and Airport Road in late 2024. While the project has required blasting intermittently within the past year, roads have remained open and operational with the exception of a few overnight, full closures. Simultaneously, Kanawha Stone Company cleared trees and began relocating utility lines in the first steps of early construction.

Today, Beaver to South Eisenhower remains under active construction while Shady Springs to Beaver maintains traffic patterns while under construction. The new connector off

Philadelphia Contractor, Industry Leader for Seven Decades, Passes Away at 85

from page 1

Morrissey Inc., and began a career that would span more than seven decades. His concrete plants, stone quarries and asphalt plants, spanning multiple locations in the Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh, Monroe and Pike counties of Pennsylvania, have supplied material to nearly every major highway construction project for the past 70 years including the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-95, Route 1 and the Blue Route, on which trucks bearing his and his late father’s name can be seen.

“He took over the family business in 1982, after the passing of his own father,” said Jim Morrissey III, who oversees the company’s materials division. “Together, my grandfather and grandmother had built the foundation of what you see today. Not just the roads, malls or terminals, but a reputation, a standard of work, and most importantly a way of life. And when it became his turn, he never looked back. From January of 1982 until just days before he passed, he was out there, stopping by the jobsites and paving projects.”

James D. Morrissey Jr. reviews plans with Keith Gay, superintendent of the Pennsylvania Turnpike job of James D. Morrissey Inc., in August 2025.

The Friday before he passed away, he was still on a job site, Morrissey III added.

“My brother Joe, who runs our construction side of the business, had him out that afternoon. It meant a lot to our dad. Being out on a site was not work — it was where he came alive. He did not just love work — he knew it was what he was put here to do. It was not about legacy. It was about doing what was right, every day. He knew exactly who he was. He never lost sight of it.”

Work and family were always in the same breath for Mr. Morrissey Jr.

“We lost my mom in 2003,” said Morrissey III. “She was an incredible woman and an amazing mom to me and my siblings. After my mom passed away, my father and LA Glasgow began dating and in 2010, they got married. LA, who also grew up in a very well-known construction family, was amazing to our dad. LA shared his love of the business. She would ride to job sites with him on weekends. I would call him on Sunday, and he would say, ‘Oh, LA and I are heading out to check on a few job sites.’ That was him. Until the very end.”

Mr. Morrissey Jr. was not a man of many words. He did not hand out nuggets of wisdom or long-winded advice, but you always knew where you stood with him, Morrissey III added.

“He lived by his principles, and he never wavered. Never got sidetracked. He was presented with a tremendous opportunity from his parents, and he honored that gift every single day.”

There were big jobs, of course. In the late 1980s and into the 1990s, he landed two sections of the Blue Route — Route 476 — a massive project. Other major jobs included building the UPS terminal at the Philadelphia International Airport, Franklin Mills Mall, Willow Grove Mall and excavation work along I-78 in eastern Pa. Those jobs solidified his place in the industry. They were not just jobs — they were statements. Proof of what hard work and determination could achieve. More recently, his jobs included the rebuild-

ing of sections of Route 309, the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the new Bellwether District site in South Philadelphia as well as the construction of the Keystone Trade Center, on the grounds of the former U.S. Steel Plant in Fairless Hills, Pa

“He was still president of the company when he passed,” Morrissey III said. “My brother, Joe, and I have been managing day-to-day operations for the past few years — Joe in construction, me in materials. But my father was always there. He was our mentor. Even on the days when he could not make it out to see the jobs, in recent months, he was calling the guys on a Saturday morning, checking in on work.”

Mr. Morrissey Jr. was the devoted husband to LA Glasgow. He was predeceased by his first wife, Mary Alice (Fasy) with whom he shared seven children: Mary Beth Stefanowicz and her husband, Brian; Alice Meehan and her husband, Mike; Louise “Weez” Boyd and her husband, Patrick; Jim Morrissey III and his wife, Siobhan: Carsy Missett; Joe Morrissey and his wife, Dana; Paul G Morrissey and Paul DiIorio. He also was the proud “Pop Pop” to 27 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Mr. Morrissey Jr. made it a point to attend as many of his children and grandchildren’s sporting events, graduations and birthday parties as he was able. He was a member of several golf clubs and made a vast number of lifelong friends, especially at Huntingdon Valley Country Club, The Union League Golf Club at Torresdale, Sunnybrook Golf Club and Saucon Valley Country Club. In the winter months, he spent time at his home in the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla.

“My father’s story isn’t flashy,” concluded Morrissey III. “It is not full of speeches or grand declarations. It is about showing up. Knowing who you are. Staying true to what matters and never wasting the gifts and opportunities with which you were presented. He was put on this earth to work. And he did.”

Services for Mr. Morrissey Jr. were recently held at St. Katherine of Sienna Church in Philadelphia.

Contributions in his memory may be made to Penn Cardiovascular Fund, 3535 Market Street, Suite 750, Philadelphia, PA 19104, or a charity of the donor’s choice.

Rowing With Schweiss Doors On Beaverdam Reservoir

A common sight in a visit to the Beaverdam Reservoir Park in Ashburn, Va., during the early evening or on a springtime Saturday morning, will be a few rowing boats — or shells — on the water, crewed by several scholastic rowing teams. The 300acre reservoir has been a popular place for crew teams to practice.

A part of the project that created the park, a dedicated boathouse was constructed to provide shell storage and facilities for the athletes. Designed by Studio Twenty Seven Architecture of Washington, D.C., the building is reminiscent of a lantern. Integrated into the building’s design are eight Schweiss Doors liftstrap bifold doors, measuring 12 ft., 2.5 in. by 9 ft., 3 in.

“During the day, you go inside and you kind of get the sense of the light filtering through the building,” said Bethan Llewellyn-Yen, lead architect at Studio Twenty Seven Architecture. “At nighttime, when you’re outside and the doors are closed, it all kind of glows.”

Studio Twenty Seven wanted the boathouse to match the overall look, feel and aim for the entire park. The Beaverdam reservoir is a man-made body of water, created by damming a portion of the Beaverdam Creek to provide drinking water for the surrounding communities. The reservoir and surrounding land became a popular place to fish, row, hike and just escape to nature in the highly built-up area surrounding Washington D.C.

The project at the reservoir created a new park with upgraded amenities while also working to protect the natural environment and water quality of the reservoir. The project was a partnership between Loudoun Water, which owns the reservoir, and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NOVA Parks), which operates parks and recreational facilities across northern Virginia. Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects was chosen as the designer of the overall park. That firm hired Studio Twenty Seven to help with the design of the structures.

“We took to heart this idea of promoting civic infrastructure and water source protection,” Llewellyn-Yen said. “Water was the prime client and we wanted our buildings to showcase the importance of protecting the water source. Every building in the design looks to capture every rain drop and from there directly to the reservoir.”

The welcome center and picnic pavilions all have V-shaped roofs that collect rainwater, direct it off the roof and into a rain basin on the ground. The basins are designed to hold the water temporarily before allowing it to slow drain toward the reservoir. The landscape was created to function as a living water filter, grabbing sediments and pollu-

tants from the water. This helps keep the water in the reservoir clean.

The park also includes upgraded trails and docks. Throughout the park there are educational signs, boards and medallions explaining how the buildings and landscape work to protect and conserve water and the environment.

While the crew facility has less of a direct role in the environmental protection side of the park’s mandate, it was still designed to fit into the larger picture. Instead of water, it filters people and boats through its structure and onto the boat docks and forward into the reservoir itself.

The exterior of the building is clad in a thermal spruce wood siding and the interior is covered in a polycarbonate product that is translucent enough to allow light to filter through it. The wood cladding isn’t tightly installed but instead leaves flaps between each slat. This created a skin on the building that mimics a paper lantern, or a drying barn used to dry and preserve crops.

Providing access in and out of the building are the eight Schweiss bifold doors, four on each side of the building. The doors were engineered to hold the polycarbonate and wood cladding and include side-latch switches, electric photo eye sensors and emergency back-up hand cranks.

Llewellyn-Yen said they wanted a door that could be customized to work with the

vision of the building and have minimal impact on the interior of the boathouse. Inside there are shelves to store more than 60 rowing shells and it requires open space to be able to maneuver the shells in and out.

“The capability of the Schweiss Doors

bifold doors folding outward was critical, so that it didn’t interfere with the space we were trying to get in the building to house as many crew teams as possible,” Llewellyn-Yen said.

As is fitting for a project that includes amenities for a sport that is all about people rowing together as one, teamwork was an important piece of making the park project a success. This includes Schweiss Doors, which worked closely with Studio Twenty Seven and Meridian Construction Company, the general contractor of the Beaverdam Reservoir Park project.

“The Schweiss Doors team was awesome,” Llewellyn-Yen said. “They worked with us through construction and looking at the different options and the different ways we could customize.”

Approximately six school rowing teams use Beaverdam Reservoir as their practice home and store their shells in the park’s crew facility from February through May. Having the boats in the building and rowers using the facility are the finishing touches of the building’s design.

“We are really happy with how it all worked out,” Llewellyn-Yen said. “We’re excited to see the teams really use the building. Now that all of the boats are in there and the teams are in there, the palette of the building and everything has come together.”

Aggregate Production and Recycling Section

ASL Group Builds Success On Paving, Hardscape,

When Bob Adams looks at The ASL Group today, it’s a far cry from where he started. What began as one man mowing lawns and cutting grass in high school has grown into a full-service operation in New Jersey, split into two active divisions: paving and landscape/hardscape.

Adams, who founded the company in 2015, said the growth comes from hard work, reputation and a focus on owning the equipment and expertise to control quality.

Adams’ path into construction wasn’t straightforward. He once envisioned a career in the film industry and even spent time working in New York City before returning to his roots in the trades. After graduating from Hofstra University where he earned a degree in business and communications, he partnered with a friend to run a small landscaping venture before striking out on his own.

“I gave myself a year,” he said. “My dad said, ‘If you fail, you fail. But at least you tried.’ I wasn’t married, didn’t have a house, so I took the risk.”

The risk paid off. In 2015, Adams launched his own business, laying the foundation for what is now The ASL Group.

Today, the company is split into two strong arms. The paving division handles both residential and commercial projects, ranging from private driveways to community roadways and small-scale municipal work. Adams’ crews operate with a mix of full-time and seasoned part-time workers who, he said, “can jump in and run a project start to finish.”

The hardscape and landscape division focuses on patios, pool surrounds, walkways, drainage systems and other enhancements that have grown more popular as homeowners seek long-term outdoor improvements. Adams has found opportunity in drainage work especially, as development patterns and changing weather create demand for proper water management.

FROM REDUCTION TO SHAPING

ASL Journeys From Lawn Mower to Paver, Recycler in N.J.

Equipment is a backbone of both divisions. Adams insists on owning rather than renting.

“The business comes first,” he said. “It’s about saving time. I didn’t go out and spend $200,000 on a paver — I bought a $30,000 machine that fit what we needed. We always make a minimal investment up front when creating a new division and then later, we make a more significant investment in equipment once we learn exactly what we’ll need to be successful. We did that when we eventually purchased a LeeBoy 8510D paver. Matching the right equipment for the right job is essential for proper time management, which gives me the time to have a proper work/home balance with my wife, Kelly, and our 15-month-old, Madison.”

The company’s lineup includes compactors from Wacker Neuson and excavators and skid steers from Kubota, such as SVL75 models, a new fleet of trucks and dedicated paving equipment, including a LeeBoy 8510D paver.

Standing Apart in Competitive Markets

Adams acknowledged that paving is often price-driven, with low-bid competitors cutting corners. But The ASL Group leans on reputation and presentation. Trucks are kept clean, uniformly painted white, and simply lettered “ASL,” giving the company a recognizable brand on the road. “People see the trucks, they know the work is detailed,” he said.

That attention to detail has built a base of repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals. Adams calls it his secret to success: focusing on quality, reliability and a professional image that sets the company apart from “fly-by-night guys” who fade as quickly as they appear.

Seeing Opportunity in Recycling

A few years into running The ASL Group, Adams saw a new opportunity. With paving as a core service, the company generated plenty of reclaimed asphalt that was costly to haul away.

“We were paying thousands to dispose of material,” he said. “At the same time, we were buying base stone to use under patios and driveways.”

The solution was clear: recycle his own material. An old friend, Cody Price, suggested he look into Komplet crushers. Adams trusted the recommendation — not only because of the relationship, but because the machines fit the scale of his operation.

Adams ultimately purchased the Komplet K-JC 503 jaw crusher. The unit, the smallest in Komplet’s lineup, is designed for contractors who want portability and efficiency. Weighing 7,496 lbs., it runs on a 25-hp Tier IV Final diesel engine and is tracked for mobility.

The crusher’s 19-in. by 12-in. jaw opening allows it to handle a steady stream of material, producing aggregates from ¾-in. to 3¼-in. With a potential production rate of 34 tons per hour, Adams found it more than capable for his needs. Features such as hydraulic jaw adjustment, chamber level sensors and wireless remote control add to its ease of use.

“I can run it from inside the loader cab while I’m feeding it,” Adams said, noting that his setup funnels material through bins for efficient stockpiling.

Dollars, Sense

The economics, Adams emphasized, make the crusher pay for itself.

“Five tandems of material would cost us around $2,000 to dump,” he said. “Buying that same amount of stone costs another $2,000. By recycling, I’m saving both ways — no disposal fees, and I’m producing what I need for my jobs.” Adams estimated processing 100 yards of reclaimed asphalt yields significant savings, even using conservative numbers. The machine’s compact size also means it’s easy to transport and doesn’t overwhelm the yard where he does most of his processing.

Just as important as performance has been the support behind the purchase. Adams credited Cody and the Komplet team with making the buying process easy and standing by the machine afterward.

“If you have a problem, they’re right there,” he said. “It’s been excellent service, and that gives you confidence.”

With its 12-month, 1,000-hour warranty and reliable build, the Komplet 503 has proven itself in Adams’s yard. He described it as simple to maintain and rugged enough to handle concrete and asphalt without issue.

For Adams, the crusher is another step in making The ASL Group more efficient and self-sufficient.

“Asphalt is always going to need to be replaced, and hardscape is always in demand,” he said. “Now we’re recycling, saving money and producing the materials we need.”  CEG

Bergkamp Reintroduces Screening Plant for Microsurfacing With Jim Rawson

Bergkamp has partnered with Jim Rawson to reintroduce a screening plant solution tailored for the microsurfacing industry.

While not a formal acquisition, Bergkamp will bring to market a screening plant designed by Rawson that closely resembles the popular, now-unavailable Rawson model. The move comes in response to contractor demand for a reliable aggregate screening solution — one that’s purpose-built for microsurfacing crews and their unique operational needs.

“When we learned that the Rawson screening plant was no longer available, it was clear that the industry had lost a critical piece of equipment,” said Scott Bergkamp, CEO of Bergkamp. “We’ve respected Jim Rawson’s work for decades. This partnership allows us to reintroduce a fieldproven design, backed by Bergkamp’s long-standing commitment to quality, service and innovation.”

The new screening plant is designed to:

Noise reduction: Significantly quieter operation improves working conditions for crews and reduces disruption in residential areas.

Industry influence: As contractors adopt electric equip-

ment, it demonstrates that sustainable alternatives are viable for heavy-duty cable installation work.

Regulatory preparedness: Positions contractors ahead of potential emission regulations in urban areas and environmentally sensitive zones.

Market access: Enables contractors to bid on projects in areas with strict emission requirements or noise ordinances.

Broader Industry Impact

While individual trailer conversions provide localized benefits, wider adoption across the industry could meaningfully reduce the environmental footprint of fiber network expansion. The LCT-7500 E demonstrates that electric alternatives can meet the performance demands of cable installation work, according to Larson.

The transition to electric equipment represents a practical step forward for an industry essential to digital infrastructure development. The LCT-7500 E demonstrates that environmental responsibility and operational effectiveness can be effectively aligned in the fiber installation sector.

Kenworth Continues Expansion of PACCAR TX-12 Transmission

Kenworth is expanding availability of its PACCAR TX-12 PRO automated transmission, bringing it to several models within the company’s medium-duty line.

Ranging from Class 7 to light Class 8, the vocational transmission is available on the Kenworth T380 and T480, when matched with the PACCAR PX-9 engine.

The PACCAR PX-9 can be spec’d with peak horsepower ranging between 260- and 380 for on-highway and vocational use; up to 450 hp with 1,250 lb.-ft. of torque for fire service vehicles.

“Versatility and durability are what the Kenworth T380 and T480 are all about,” said Kevin Haygood, Kenworth’s assistant general manager of sales and marketing.

“For customers who prefer an AMT [automated manual transmission] over an automatic option, the TX-12 PRO is the solution. It gives customers great performance and toughness when they use the T380 or T480 in demanding vocational applications.”

The PACCAR TX-12 PRO was designed for rugged service and low-end drive performance applications like dump truck,

snowplow or in chassis-mounted tanker configuration, according to Kenworth.

In addition, the TX-12 PRO features an extreme-duty clutch for low-speed maneuvering and Rock Free mode to help trucks get unstuck in mud or sand. Plus, it has an off-highway calibration tuned for changing soil conditions. The 12-speed gear set provides wide ratio coverage, allowing for excellent maneuverability without sacrificing fuel economy at highway speeds.

For those applications requiring a PTO,

The TX-12 PRO is available with dual openings — a bottom mount 8-bolt and 4-bolt rear mount for a combined 95 hp capacity.

To monitor performance and to ensure long-life, the transmission and clutch are both equipped with internal oil temperature sensors. Their temperatures can be displayed on the in-cab 7-in. digital display and can provide driver notifications in situations causing excessive temperatures.

Oil maintenance intervals for the TX-12 PRO are 250,000 miles and the clutch is maintenance-free.

Felling Trailers Delivers Mobile Solution for FireLake Mfg.

FireLake Manufacturing of Hutchinson, Minn., manufactures incinerators and crematoriums, serving the medical, veterinary and law enforcement sectors.

FireLake’s product line offers a wide range of load capacities with 16 different chamber sizes and numerous customization options. Their units are capable of incinerating 200 to 1,600 lbs. of waste at a time, depending on the user’s needs and the model selected.

FireLake’s president, Kent Wischmann, recognized an emerging demand for mobile incinerator units and sought a partner to develop a custom trailer solution for their Model X incinerator. The smallerscale mobile unit would expand market opportunities for the Minnesota-based incinerator manufacturer.

Challenge

The mobilized Model X incinerator unit would serve two key markets: law enforcement and veterinary services. Law enforcement agencies needed a secure way to destroy drug evidence on site without transportation risks, while veterinary clinics sought flexible solutions to serve multiple locations.

This market opportunity required FireLake to find a partner who could design a trailer specifically engineered to support their A850XMBL-2D-SC2X4100 Diesel Oil incinerator with its 27 cu.-ft. capacity.

Solution

Familiar with Felling Trailers’ custom manufacturing, FireLake contacted Felling for assistance with its mobilization project.

“Our (FireLake’s) incineration system would require specific structural support for transport,” said Wischmann.

The design also would need to incorporate user safety, providing adequate space on the platform (deck) for users to move around and operate the incinerator unit. Wischmann collaborated with TJ Schwartz, Felling Trailers OEM sales manager, throughout the custom build process, ensuring all details were considered, from wiring protection to equipment layout.

“This project was a custom build from the ground up,” said Schwartz.

“Felling’s custom design support and options were essential to our needs,” said Wischmann. “The ability to send and receive drawing files during the design process was efficient and seamless. Communication between their (Felling’s) engineering team and our design department was excellent.”

The engineering team at Felling carefully considered every aspect of the design, with particular attention to the suspension system and weight distribution relative to the equipment layout, which FireLake identified as “very

important to the final design.” The resulting trailer features dual 6K torsion axles, offering adequate support for the heavy load while ensuring a smooth ride during transport.

Result

The finalized mobile unit combines FireLake’s Model X incinerator technology with Felling’s custom trailer engineering. The trailer solution provides FireLake with a mobile platform allowing their customers to:

• transport incineration capabilities directly to needed

locations;

• facilitate secure on-site destruction of sensitive materials for law enforcement;

• enable veterinary clinics to serve multiple locations with a single unit; and

• expand FireLake’s market reach with a differentiated product offering.

“Felling is great to work with on special needs,” said Wischmann. “They look for the ‘how-to’ solutions.”

Snow and Ice Section

Unique Skid Steer Tire Improves Snow Clearing Efficiency

When snow needs to be quickly cleared from public areas, municipalities and landscape contractors often rely on skid steers with snow removal attachments to efficiently complete the job. However, poor tire traction can slow or halt work as well as threaten safety.

Conventional skid steer tires can be prone to slipping or sliding in icy environments or heavy snow. When a skid steer loses road traction in these conditions, the operator can lose control of the vehicle and a collision, accident or injury can occur.

“Typical skid steer tires, not built for snow and ice, can be up to 14 inches across so tend to stay on the surface, leading to poor traction and safety,” said Jerry Holman, president of SnowWolf Plows, a Minnesota-based manufacturer that offers various snow removal accessories such as snow blowers, plows and pushers which are compatible with skid steers, compact loaders, wheel loaders, front-end loaders, tractors and other machinery.

In response, industry innovators have helped to minimize wheel slippage and sliding with skid steer-specific snow tire designs that provide superior traction. The improved traction, in turn, translates into greater safety and productivity when clearing snow from public spaces. The enhanced safety provided by superior tire traction also reduces the risk of accidents and collisions as well as required repairs and maintenance, prolonging the usable life of the vehicle and snow removal attachment.

As an example, skid steer specific tires such as WolfPaws by SnowWolf are designed to be narrower to penetrate ice

SnowWolf photo WolfPaws range from 28 to 36 in. in height and fitments are offered for machines as small as the Bobcat Toolcat all the way up to the largest of skid steers.

and snow. Depending on the model, WolfPaws are 6.6 to 8.5 in. wide compared to most skid steer loader tires at 10 to 14 in. so can exert nearly double the ground pressure, dramatically improving traction, snow clearing, and safety.

WolfPaws range from 28 to 36 in. in height and fitments are offered for machines as small as the Bobcat Toolcat all the way up to the largest of skid steers. Some customers prefer to go with a larger diameter tire than what comes standard on their machine which gives the added benefit of increasing the skid steers’ travel speed and hence, an even greater improvement in productivity.

According to Holman, the skid steer snow tires, which are made in the USA, are not a retread and not a truck tire but a completely new tire designed for this one purpose. Due to the unique width and special tread, the snow tires come as a complete package…four tires installed on the correct wheels for your machine and aired up to spec.

“The specialized tread pattern is specifically designed and molded for use with machinery on snow and ice, and many of the models are compatible with carbide studs which you can add as an option. While the snow tires are designed to increase traction, ground pressure and productivity while eliminating sliding, slipping, and spinning in snow, add the carbide stud option will give you incredible traction even on ice,” said Holman.

Testing and experience in the field have proven the snow tire design to be effective and they will significantly improve the productivity of your machines, according to SnowWolf. With full confidence in the product, the OEM offers a full refund to dissatisfied customers if returned to the dealer after the first use.

Skid steer tires with snow removal attachments play an important role in maintaining safety on roads and other public areas. However, using standard tires that offer poor traction can compromise snow clearing performance and safety.

As a solution, municipalities and landscape contractors that utilize skid steer snow tires specifically designed to improve traction will not only improve their snow clearing efficiency but also the safety of operators and the public.

KAGE Innovation Releases 54-in. 2-in-1 Sidewalk Snow Plow

Known for its 2-in-1 snow plow and pusher systems, KAGE Innovation is pushing its way into the “mini” market with its new 54-in. blade and box system.

Part of its SnowFire line of snow plows, this new narrower width system fits nicely on sidewalks and is compatible with numerous small skid steers and compact track loaders as well as mini track loaders and mini skid steers.

Power Angle

The 54-in. SnowFire does not sacrifice any of the benefits of its larger counterparts either as it still offers the 35 degrees of angle plowing that is so critical when plowing at slower speeds as it prevents snow from building up in front of the plow. This also allows the operator to easily windrow with the box off and then attach the containment box for pushing and stacking if needed.

Constant Contact

The 12 degrees of oscillation from the slot plate positioned just above the cutting edge enables the blade to maintain constant contact with the sidewalk — even when angled — without any odd twisting between the machine and the blade.

Poly Protection

The poly skids on the box won’t gouge or leave rust marks on the sidewalk either. Add one of KAGE’s polyurethane cutting edges for even more protection of the sidewalk surface and the grassy areas that surround it.

By Emily Forstrom SPECIAL TO CEG

Choosing the right spreader involves considering several key factors: recommended vehicle options, job size and material needs. Utilize the BOSS Product Selector by entering your vehicle details to receive manufacturer-recommended product suggestions, including spreaders.

For smaller jobs, contractors often opt for tailgate spreaders, ideal for efficiency compared to larger hopper spreaders like the VBX+, which fits snuggly in a truck bed. Ensure you match your material requirements by consulting the BOSS Spreader Material Guide to select the appropriate spreader for your specific material dispensing needs.

State DOTs Make Preparations for Winter Operations

Several state departments of transportation across the country are gearing up for winter: inspecting snow removal equipment, hiring seasonal employees and engaging in outreach efforts to highlight the importance of their winter operations to the public.

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), for example, uses a team of nearly 3,000 drivers who often work 12-hour shifts during snow and ice events. While most are full-time employees, approximately 500 drivers are hired seasonally.

In addition to full-time and seasonal drivers, the agency also uses auxiliary drivers — full-time Ohio DOT employees who normally do other tasks and only plow snow when needed.

Ohio DOT noted that it is responsible for more than 43,000 lane mi. of state and U.S. routes outside municipalities and all interstates in Ohio, except the Ohio Turnpike, and its goal during winter storms is to have primary routes back up to speed within two hours and secondary routes within four hours of the end of a snow event — a goal its crews hit 99.3 percent of the time during the winter of 2024-2025.

Currently, the agency said roughly 250 of its mechanics are busy conducting 150-point checks from the plow blade to the salt spin-

Other state DOTs are conducting equipment checks, such as the Nevada Department of Transportation.

ner on each of the nearly 1,700 trucks in Ohio DOT’s fleet — checks conducted now so any needed repairs can be made well before the snow starts falling and the trucks hit the road.

For the winter of 2024-2025, Ohio DOT noted that its crews covered 9.1 million mi. and deployed nearly 769,177 tons of salt and 16.4 million gal. of liquid deicers. For the 2025-2026 winter season, the agency said it already has 800,000 tons of salt on hand.

“From the mechanics in the garage to the drivers on the road, every one of our Ohio DOT employees prioritizes safety in what they do,” said Pamela Boratyn, Ohio DOT’s

Some state DOTs, such as the Colorado Department of Transportation, also handle avalanche mitigation duties during the winter as well.

director, in a statement. “Our team-members and their families travel the same roads you do. We want to make sure those roads are safe for everyone to use.”

Public outreach plays another key role in winter operations for state DOTs as well; not just in terms of the importance of snow and ice removal to reinforce safe winter driving habits as well.

For example, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) recently kicked off its second annual ‘Name a Snowplow’ contest, which invites Idaho students to submit creative names for agency snowplows and learn about winter driving safety at the same time.

Two snowplows in each of ITD’s six regions will receive student-chosen names through voting by ITD employees. Winning names will appear directly on the plows, and each winning classroom will get a visit from “their” snowplow and driver for a winter safety presentation.

Students in grades six through 12 statewide can work with their teachers to submit name ideas throughout October, with the winning names announced by the end of the year.

“Our snowplow drivers are thrilled to see students getting involved in this fun, educational opportunity that also highlights the importance of winter driving safety,” said Scott Stokes, ITD’s director, in a statement.

Alliance Systems, Komatsu East Partnership Focuses On Growth

ALLIANCE from page 12

invested in new attachments, including Montabert (a Komatsu-owned company) grapples and hammers, as well as Lehnhoff (a Komatsu-owned company) quick couplers, which are designed to help improve efficiency by allowing operators to switch tools quickly without leaving their machines.

“We recently integrated the Lehnhoff quick coupler system with our Montabert grapple,” Goodwin noted. “We’re testing it now, and it looks like a solid investment. We think the new attachments are more efficient, and they’re much quicker to get on and off our equipment, which is something we’re looking forward to.”

The company’s current work at Chestnut Run Plaza is one example of how its equipment and employees come together. The site includes multiple former DuPont buildings, separating structures and clearing the heavily wooded ground for future development.

“Right now, our brand-new PC390LC-11 with a Montabert grapple and Lehnhoff quick coupler is loading out materials,” Goodwin described. “The grapple allows us to separate different types of metal efficiently. Meanwhile, our new PC490LC-11 uses a shear to cut through the structure. Also, our WA200 primarily takes material from one site to the other without having to utilize a dump truck.”

Partnership Built On Trust

Over the years, Alliance Environmental Systems has developed a close relationship with the staff at Komatsu Company-owned

Dealer East, especially Territory Manager Jim McKeever, who provides excellent support when needed.

“The Komatsu team has been great,” Goodwin declared. “Their service department is responsive, their mechanics know our machines, and we trust them to keep our fleet in top condition. We haven’t had any real issues with our machines. They’re solid and have a good team behind them.”

That trust played a role in Alliance Environmental Systems’ decision to invest in new Komatsu machines and attachments. With industry trends shifting toward more advanced technology, the company wanted to stay ahead by integrating the latest equipment into its fleet.

“We saw others in the industry moving in this direction, and we wanted to be on top of that,” Goodwin said. “Komatsu brought us ideas, we tested them out, and now we’re implementing them into our operations. It’s all about staying competitive.”

Outlook

Looking ahead, Alliance Environmental Systems is focused on growth and continued innovation. Expanding into new markets and investing in cutting-edge technology will help the company maintain its reputation for quality and efficiency.

“We’ve been around a long time, and we plan to keep growing,” Goodwin reflected. “With new leadership in place, we’re looking to expand further, increasing our fleet, hiring more skilled workers and moving into new markets.”

Construction Requires Very Complex Work On

1.93-Mi. Stretch

The last section of the Beckley Z-Way project, Beaver to S. Eisenhower, is under active construction. The project is expected to reach completion in two years.

Z-WAY from page 44

Exit 124, US Route 19, remains under active construction at the 164 S Eisenhower Interchange.

In addition, Kanawha Stone Company is building nearly 2 mi. of new roadway at Beaver to S Eisenhower. Previously two lanes, the completed roadway addition will feature a third lane and center turning lane. The work involves construction to an overpass bridge as well as newly constructed connectors from Old Crow Road, Ritter Drive, Skyline and Orchard Hill Road and Airport Road and Whispering Pines.

While roadway widening takes place at Granby Circle, Shady Spring and Beaver Road, entry work of relocating Beaver to S Eisenhower has begun. The addition of a middle lane from the Route 3 and Route 19 intersection also has begun.

With only two contractors involved, the Beckley Z-Way project continues to make great strides within a short amount of time. Once completed, the Beckley Z-Way project will greatly alleviate traffic and congestion while offering safer, more efficient and less complicated routes to everyday residents’ and tourists’ benefit.  CEG
