Seventy years of success didn’t just happen for Gregory Poole Equipment Company. The North Carolina Caterpillar dealership’s success has come from being well-grounded as an organization from its founding in 1951 and from being able to adapt to evolving — sometimes abruptly changing — circumstances. Company President Gregory Poole III characterized the mostly ups and occasional downs experienced by the dealership during his watch as “a fun and rewarding journey.” That’s an upbeat lookback at a contemporary period of the company’s history that included deep and persistent troughs in the national economy and the current disruption caused by the ongoing pandemic.

Infrastructure Bill: Is it Enough? What Do We Really Need? By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT
President Biden announced in April a $2 trillion plan to transform the economy with special emphasis on jobs, infrastructure and green energy. The transportation piece of the proposal would direct $621 billion to roads, bridges, public transportation, airports and electric vehicles. Prior to the announcement, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg spoke to a key congressional committee on March 25 and told lawmakers “they have the best chance in any of our lifetimes to make a generational investment.” The House Transportation Committee hearing was Buttigieg’s first appearance since his confirmation. “Wise transportation investments are key to making the American Dream accessible for all, leading our global competitors in innovation, getting people and goods to where they need to be creating good jobs — jobs that are union or pay prevailing wages — and tackling our climate crisis,” Buttigieg said. The infrastructure proposal could include approximately $400 billion to combat climate change. The administration is considering tax increases to fund the program. Buttigieg didn’t endorse any one approach but said lawmakers had the option to rely on fees on drivers, such as the gas tax, other general tax revenue or borrowing. “I’ve heard loud and clear from members of Congress, Republican and Democratic, that an infrastructure proposal needs to have at least a partial funding source and I know that’s a challenging conversation,” he said. Buttigieg has made appearances to help promote the administration’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package. The kind of infrastructure package will need congressional support to make it happen. Buttigieg has endorsed improving transit access as well. “I believe by investing in transit, transit-oriented development, and for that matter, rural main streets, in the right balance, we can support people getting to where they need to be.” Advancing the package through the Senate will likely require the support of several Republicans. Detractors of the plan are asking the question, “How much of the bill can really be called infrastructure?” Fortune magazine’s Jeff Colvin observed, “Infrastructure, as many people think of it, accounts for only $157 billion, or 7 percent, of the plan’s estimated cost.” He continued, “The definition of infrastructure can reasonably be expanded to include upgrading wastewater and drink-
ing water systems, expanding high-speed broadband Internet service to 100 percent of the nation, modernizing the electric grid and improving infrastructure resilience. That brings the total to $518 billion, or 24 percent of the plan’s total cost.”
“I believe by investing in transit, transit-oriented development, and for that matter, rural main streets, in the right balance, we can support people getting to where they need to be.”
federal gas tax currently stands at 18.4 cents per gallon of gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon of diesel. The tax was last raised in October 1993. The tax was not indexed for inflation, which has increased 77 percent since then. Congress has shown little inclination to raise that amount. The taxes have fallen far short of what infrastructure needs exist. Even more stress on the infrastructure fund has been created with the advent of more electric vehicles. Clearly, for the future, the government will be collecting less in gas taxes.
One Option: Tolls Pay-as-you-go options exist and are growing. This includes tolls, which already exist in most states. Other options include charging the motorists by the amount they drive. Essentially, this system follows the reasoning that those who drive more Pete Buttigieg miles should pay more for the use of Transportation Secretary the roads. The idea of an EZ pass for all roads makes sense, and the technoloWhat Is Our Infrastructure? gy is advancing to make it possible on many President Biden has referred to our infra- roads.

“National Asphalt Pavement Association [NAPA] and its members are committed to building and maintaining our infrastructure with the utmost goal of recycling, sustainability and concern for our environment and resources,” said NAPA Chairman James (Jay) Winford Jr., president of Prairie Contractors Inc., Opelousas, La. Looking at Infrastructure Needs American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) formed a blue-ribbon committee, composed of government and private industry, to take a deep dive into the needs of America’s infrastructure. The report, published in 2019, reveals strong priorities for upgrading infrastructure. Many of their points are often overlooked but would be essential in using funds efficiently for the benefit of the public as well as the companies doing the work. The report highlights the modernization of the 68,000-mi. National Highway Freight Network (NHFN) designated by Congress in 2015 as a top priority. The report calls the NHFN “America’s Economic Expressway.” This expressway includes the interstate highway system and its critical urban and rural connectors to the nation’s airports, rail hubs, major ports, inland waterways and pipelines. “Of all transportation infrastructure needs we have as a nation, improving the safe and efficient movement of goods is the key to increasing U.S. productivity, lowering the cost of things we produce and purchase, improving our environment and giving us the competitive edge in world markets.” The report emphasized the importance of supporting the infrastructure. It notes that approximately 70 percent of all freight is carried on interstate highways. This number is increasing every year with the increased shopping online and growing domestic energy industry. Future expansions make infrastructure support vial. The report continued, “Federal government forecasts say that by 2035 there will be 70 million more Americans and that truck shipments will have to grow by 40 percent to serve an expanding population and economy. Most Americans know our transportation network is not ready for that.” The report also looks at future issues like autonomous vehicles. “Strategic and targeted investments in the NHFN will help prepare our interstates for autonomous trucks, cars and communications platforms that will use technology to increase safety, cut traffic congestion, save fuel and improve air quality. Every state and every American would benefit such investments, no matter where they live.” CEG

1971
1978
1971: By adding a cargo box to the undercarriage of a combine harvester, Yanmar created the YFW500D, the world’s first tracked carrier. The YFW500D was powered by a Yanmar diesel engine and could transport materials on soft ground where trucks and dump trucks could not enter.
1978: The YFW26D, had a large loading capacity of 3 tons and was equipped with a 17-horsepower Yanmar vertical water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine that enabled it to run quickly on slopes. The tough steel crawler made it a favorite of worksites.
Yanmar Celebrates 50th Anniversary of Tracked Carrier 1985
1984
1984: In the late 1970s, the market for wheel carriers was growing, and Yanmar launched the YFW35WA articulated wheel carrier. Equipped with super flat special low-pressure tires for soft ground, the 27 -in. wide 38-in. diameter tires were an unprecedented development among conventional carriers.
1985
1985: Equipped with a 64-hp Yanmar vertical watercooled four-cylinder diesel engine, the YFW40R was launched in pursuit of not only running speed and power, but also comfort and used a large rubber crawler to reduce operator fatigue in a highly maneuverable HST. This model was the prototype for the C50R, which is still sold today.
Y
anmar, this year, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the YFW500D, the world’s first tracked carrier equipped with a Yanmar diesel engine. The original carrier used the undercarriage of a Yanmar rubber crawler combine harvester and added a cargo box to enable it to transport materials on soft ground. Created in 1971, the YFW500D was the world’s first tracked carrier. The carrier was the first in a long line of products from Yanmar developed to meet the needs of the times. Yanmar, a pioneer in compact construction equipment, will mark the celebration of this 50th anniversary of the tracked carrier by renewing the company’s commitment to the development of high-performance products and solutions that offer premium reliability and value for customers. For more information, visit www.yanmar.com/ global/construction. CEG see YANMAR page 22
1985: Yanmar developed a rubber crawler that achieved a speed of 11 km/h, about twice the speed of conventional crawlers. The high-speed YFW25R carrier was a hit product that also featured the industry’s first reverse seat and was the prototype for the C30R model that is still sold today.
1988
1988: Yanmar released the YFW8R, a compact carrier with a width of only 950 mm built tough to work hard on construction sites. Until the YFW8R, tracked carriers had their driver’s seats mounted to one side or the other. But with the YFW8R, for the first time in the industry, the seat was placed in the center making it easy to get on and off from both sides and provided better visibility. This model was the prototype for the C12R, which is still on sale today.

La. to Receive $216M in Stim Aid for Transportation Needs Louisiana will be the beneficiary of $216 million in federal stimulus aid for the state’s transportation needs, including $50 million for preliminary work on Interstate 49 in Lafayette, according to an announcement April 19 from Gov. John Bel Edwards. The monies are part of the $1.4 trillion stimulus package approved by the U.S. Congress in December, including $10 billion for transportation construction and improvements nationwide. The aid is aimed at helping states that suffered revenue losses due to the pandemic. Louisiana’s portion of the assistance also features $20 million to aid local transportation planning agencies in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette and Shreveport, with another $29 million earmarked for the construction of a new bridge on I-10 in Lake Charles. “As you are all aware, the state’s roads and bridges are in great need of repair and upgrade,” Edwards said in a statement that accompanied his announcement. “Addressing these needs has been a priority of my administration. “We have proven what we can do when
we have funds and have invested over $3 billion in infrastructure since 2016 despite a 1980s revenue stream as the main source of funding.” The federal allocation for Louisiana
Because of the coronavirus, there had been less cars and trucks on the road until recently, meaning that those states with gas taxes, including the Bayou State, collected a much smaller portion of their key source of transportation funding. Traffic plunged dramatically across Louisiana, especially in the early months of the pandemic, as many people worked from home rather than in their offices. Louisiana collects 38.4 cents per gallon, including 20 cents per gallon in state charges. “We will certainly use these funds to replace funds that were lost as a result of the coronavirus and apply them to some of the most needed projects in all regions of Louisiana,” Shawn Wilson said Shawn Wilson, secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development state Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), The Advocate reported. includes $35 million to ensure that the state According to the Baton Rouge news outhas enough money to qualify for all the fedlet, Wilson added, “Unlike previous federal eral matching funds for which it is eligible, bills, these funds can be used for operating Edwards explained, an issue that comes up periodically amid the state’s $14 billion costs,” including the replacement of heavy equipment in district transportation offices. backlog of road and bridge needs.
“We will certainly use these funds to replace funds that were lost as a result of the coronavirus and apply them to some of the most needed projects in all regions of Louisiana.”
Highway to Be Converted to Interstate The Advocate noted, however, that it is still not clear exactly how the I-49 funds will be used. Louisiana’s plan is to connect New Orleans and Lafayette with an upgraded U.S. Highway 90 that becomes I-49 South, essentially converting U. S. 90 to a high speed, limited access interstate roadway. When finished, I-49 South would begin in the West Bank of New Orleans, then travel past the bayou communities of St. Charles, Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, through Morgan City, and connect with I-49 in Lafayette. Proponents of the plan have said that the upgraded highway would connect ports in New Orleans and elsewhere with industries in the Midwest and oil industry suppliers and manufacturers between New Orleans and Houston. However, a price-tag of up to $5 billion has been a longtime obstacle to making I-49 South a reality, The Advocate reported. The $216 million federal stimulus aid to Louisiana also includes 17 preservation projects, mostly roadway overlay work that costs $2 million to $3 million per project.

Problems Slow Work On Damaged Hanging Rock Visitors Ctr. The Hanging Rock Visitors Center in Stokes County, N.C., won’t reopen as expected, due to a series of problems that have slowed renovations to the water-damaged visitor center. The variety of issues have some folks questioning the integrity of the $25 million structure. A rustic wood-and-stone building, constructed in 1996, the visitors center shuttered its doors in 2020 to make repairs to weatherrelated damage to its exterior, according to park officials. The building’s decking, siding and structural supports, as well as the chimney, needed fixing. “There was a lot of water damage, lots of rot,” Jason Anthony, a park ranger at the 9,011-acre state complex, told the News & Record. It was hoped the visitors center would be able to reopen in April, but Anthony said it will take at least until summer’s end for construction crews to finish the job. Simcon Construction Co., in nearby Mount Airy, is the general contractor of the renovations. The reasons for the delay in finishing repairs are many, Anthony added. The pandemic struck last spring at about the time improvements were set to begin, he
noted. As a result, Simcon’s crews couldn’t get going on the fixes until it was almost winter. More delays in the work were caused by season-long rain and snow. And the damage was more extensive than originally thought, Anthony said. In speaking with the News & Record, he acknowledged there have been concerns that the center’s original design put too much of an emphasis on making the structure “aesthetically pleasing” as opposed to long-lasting. North Carolina voters in 1993 approved a $35 million bond referendum that funded the original $1.8 million construction of Hanging Rock’s visitors center. The renovation work, as well, is being financed by $75 million in bond money approved by voters in 2016. It’s one of 45 state park projects that received the funds. Hanging Rock State Park was built in the 1930s as a Civilian Conservation Corps project. Located in the ancient Sauratown Mountain Range, 30 mi. north of WinstonSalem, the park features a campground, picnic sites, a stocked lake for fishing, swimming and canoe rentals and more than 20
miles of hiking trails that climb onto spectacular views and weave alongside clear streams and waterfalls. Dotted with multiple rock outcroppings, the small range features several ridges and knobs, the tallest of which

is 2,579-ft. Moore’s Knob. The park’s visitor’s center was the first of its kind in North Carolina, adding an educational component to the park experience with a classroom for visiting students and exhibit space highlighting the park’s attractions. Other state parks have since followed suit
with their own similarly spacious visitor centers. With the center closed, visitors to Hanging Rock have adapted as best they can, Anthony said, noting there are maps posted at most of the primary trailheads and guests can find several portable toilets in the parking lot outside the visitor center. Complaints have been relatively few, Anthony said. “We’ve all witnessed how adaptable our park visitors are,” he added. The News & Record reported that despite the park being closed for seven weeks during March and April 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, Hanging Rock boasted a record year for visitors, with 867,911 passing through the gates — a 26 increase to the park’s usual 690,000 visitors. “That’s remarkable considering we were closed for almost two months of the year,” Anthony said. “For a long while, parks were the only thing open.” In fact, there were times during the past year, he said, that the Hanging Rock State Park was so crowded that its gates had to be closed and would-be visitors turned away.

North Carolina Caterpillar Dealer Finds Its Success By POOLE from page 1
Fun it may have been to have survived and thrived in the face of such difficulty, but no one believes the resulting success was accomplished without work. Caterpillar Tractor Company decided in 1950 to split in half its North Carolina sales territory to better serve customers spread across the 560-mi.-long state. To that end, it initiated talks with a road contractor in the state named Gregory Poole. Prior to World War II, Poole had begun a road contracting business, leaving it temporarily during the war to mine coal in West Virginia after road contract funds were diverted to wartime priorities such as coal production. Poole employed Cat machinery in his road work, so when Caterpillar executives decided to reorganize its North Carolina dealer network, Poole was offered the territory from Burlington east to the Atlantic Coast. “My grandfather jumped at the opportunity,” the current company president said. Gregory Poole became a Cat dealer the next year, partnering with his uncle, William Lewis Gregory. The Gregory-Poole Equipment Company opened its doors on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh in April 1951 in a building formerly housing an auto dealership. A branch office was opened at the same time in an old Army Quonset hut in New Bern. During this period, Caterpillar was transitioning from farm equipment to heavy construction machinery. In 1951, for example, it introduced its first belly scraper, a year later its track loader, and two years after that its first D9 bulldozer. An era of Caterpillar dominance in heavy construction equipment had begun. Consequently, in three short years, Gregory-Poole Equipment experienced enough business success to build a new corporate headquarters on Beryl Road in Raleigh. It said something about the confidence of company leaders at that moment that they hired an acclaimed modernist architect, George Matsumoto, to design the headquarters facility. Matsumoto was a founding member of the School of Design at N.C. State University — located further east on Hillsborough Street — and his executed plan for the headquarters facility won several architectural awards. Five years after the company’s launch, Poole and his family bought out his uncle. The Gregory Poole Equipment Company — minus the hyphen — began its multi-generational run. The second Poole generation took over management of the company in 1965 when J. Gregory Poole Jr. succeeded his father as president. He oversaw growth of the dealership for the next 30 years. Three years after
After formally coming aboard in 1978, Gregory Poole III worked through a succession of positions for the next 18 years, culminating in 1996 with his rise to president and chief operating officer.
he began to preside, an Industrial Division was formed in Raleigh to sell and service materials-handling equipment — forklifts and other warehouse lifting machinery. The division soon opened a branch in Wilmington, N.C. In ensuing years, North Carolina dealership branches were opened in Washington and Fayetteville. In 1986, the Industrial Division of the company leapfrogged the state line and established two locations in South Carolina. A Caterpillar Power Systems Division opened in Raleigh in 1990 to serve power generation, marine and truck applications. Clearly, this period of the company history was not static, with expansion to six locations, addition of several new lines of equipment, rolling out of ever more capable Caterpillar equipment, and growth in the company workforce from 40 employees to 400. The company also saw the arrival in 1978 of a third Poole generation, Gregory Poole III. “I actually started long before then, but that was my hire date,” he said. “I started sweeping floors in the parts department when I was eight years old and worked in the shop from ages 12 to 16. I’ve always wanted to work here.” After formally coming aboard, Poole worked through a succession of positions for the next 18 years, culminating in 1996 with his rise to president and chief operating offi-
cer. Three years later, Poole purchased the company from his father. Within 18 months of that transition in leadership, the new chief executive faced his first major challenge, which came partly as a consequence of a national crisis. The economy suffered a severe blow when terrorists attacked the United States in September of 2001, striking targets less than 300 miles north of Raleigh in Washington, D.C., and farther north in New York City.
“We had basically flatlined at that point. We had to make a major shift in what we were doing,” Poole said. Internal meetings were called to attempt to resolve the dilemma. “We met weekly and we each had areas of responsibility. In the end, we unfortunately had to cut some people from the payroll to right-size the organization for the times, and for where we were going and where the economy was going.” It was a memorable and successful handling of a first challenge. “I’ll never forget pulling that team together and facilitating, rather than dictating, decisions. Outlining the facts and pulling things together until we had a consensus about where we knew we needed to go.” Poole said that moment was indicative of his leadership style, which he characterized as “facilitating an environment and leading people to a right conclusion rather than telling them what the right conclusion should be.” He has turned to that method of management in responding to subsequent challenges, such as dealing with the deep recession of 2008-10 and the ongoing pandemic’s disruption of normal business activity. In the two decades that Gregory Poole III has led the dealership, the pace of growth and change has quickened. The Lift Systems Division has been expanded across North and South Carolina and Virginia, and in 2014, the division incorporated as an affiliate the formerly Ohio-based Advanced Handling Systems, which serves the materials handling industry. The following year, Gregory Poole Equipment became an authorized dealer of Hyster and Yale lift trucks, with offices in North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Additionally, a partnership with

Adapting, Evolving, Changing Through Circumstances Blue Bird Bus has Gregory Poole Equipment selling and servicing school and activity buses. The industry itself also has changed. For one thing, rental of equipment has come into its own as the cost and complexity of machinery has risen and federal investment in infrastructure has become more problematic. When contractors today need an extra piece of equipment or aren’t sure about the duration of a job, they often rent rather than buy. “Rental equipment fluctuates between 8 percent and 10 percent of our business,” Poole said. “It’s a growing segment and I don’t see that changing.” Most Poole Equipment customers rent skid steer loaders, small bulldozers, excavators and various aerial products, according to the president. The development of compact equipment, such as compact track loaders and miniexcavators, was another notable change in the industry. It severely tested old-line manufacturers of heavy equipment like Caterpillar. Poole said reinventing the Cat lineup to incorporate compact machines was a challenge for both Cat and its dealers. “That was a pretty tough segment for Cat. For the first time in the history of Caterpillar, it was going up against a trademark brand, Bobcat. Bobcat was synonymous with Coca-Cola and Kleenex. Everybody calls a cola a Coke and a piece of tissue a Kleenex. Cat was up against a brand that huge.” At this point, Poole believes Cat is “holding our own and making great headway in that segment. I think the reason we are successful is because of the reputation of Cat and of each of the dealers. Cat has a wonderful reputation for building quality equipment and Gregory Poole has an amazing record of
delivering service and keeping customers up and running.” Yet there was a necessary “pivot,” Poole said. “Unlike the expectations of customers of D10 and D9 dozers, the compact equipment customers were people who wanted an oil change on a machine they would drop off at six in the evening and expected to pick up at six or 6:30 in the morning. We had to adapt to that and did so by putting in a second shift to handle that expectation.” Whether it is an 80-ton bulldozer or a three-ton skid steer loader, service expectations always are high.

Caterpillar Tractor Company decided in 1950 to split in half its North Carolina sales territory to better serve customers spread across the 560-mi.-long state. To that end, it initiated talks with a road contractor in the state named Gregory Poole.
Gregory Poole Equipment experienced enough business success to build a new corporate headquarters on Beryl Road in Raleigh.
Equipment Company tries to meet them by employing 615 technicians company-wide and dedicating some 700 vehicles to the cause of keeping downtime to a minimum. Though not yet universally embraced by contractors in the industry, telematic monitoring of engine health has helped the cause. From six Caterpillar locations when Gregory Poole III became president, the dealership has grown to 23 locations for Caterpillar and other lines of equipment. From 400 employees, it has swelled to nearly 1,300. Poole said such steady growth has been sustainable because, from the very beginning, company leadership has cultivated a culture of teamwork. “My grandfather placed a large emphasis on the quality of people he hired and focused on the culture being very family-centric,” he said. “Obviously, you have to enhance that when you grow from a mom-and-pop store to a company of this size. You have to enhance the culture so that people who are managing a department or a division do so as if they owned it.” To parcel out responsibility in that way, Poole believes the structure of decisionmaking is critical. “When all decisions are funneled to the top of a pyramid and then back down again, I think the end is in sight. There is no more growth, and your company becomes stagnant. Worse yet, you kill the creativity and ingenuity of the people working for you. “We have had many, many discussions about how to grow the company, where to grow and why to grow. It has been fun to watch the energy level of people pick up as they decide to embrace our culture,” Poole said. He added that four years ago he implemented an initiative that inculcated into the process more accountability and more strate-
gic thinking. The reward to the company has been “huge.” Everyone knows the old business adage, “Take care of customers and customers will take care of you.” Poole tweaked the maxim a bit. “I would take it one step further. If you take care of your employees, your employees will, by default, take care of the customers and the customers will take care of you. “That doesn’t mean we don’t focus on customers, but we can’t leave our employees on the sidelines. That would be catastrophic because they are the ones who make our customers happy and keep them up and running and coming back to us.” The company owner said the dealership’s reliance on team effort works because people hired to work at Gregory Poole Equipment are carefully chosen in a thorough hiring process. “We have three full-time recruiters, and we are front and center with everyone. We don’t back away from vetting, no matter for what level of employment we are making a job offer. We want to make sure we have a good fit. That’s the first thing. The second thing is maintaining the company’s family culture and always doing what is right by your employees.” Continued Poole: “Those two things have held us in good stead for seven decades. We plan on continuing that kind of focus and carrying it forward for another 70 years.” And somewhere in those future decades — relatively soon — the next succession in family-owned company leadership is expected to occur. The process already has begun, Poole said. “My oldest son works in the business and our plans are definitely to see this business transition to the fourth generation.”
Three years after J. Gregory Poole Jr. began to preside, an Industrial Division was formed in Raleigh to sell and service materials-handling equipment — forklifts and other warehouse lifting machinery.

Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) senior vice president of government and industry relations Kip Eideberg issued the following statement applauding the Problem Solvers Caucus on its new report of bipartisan policy recommendations to build a strong, successful 21st century infrastructure network for America: “Americans are ready for a transformational investment in our nation’s infrastructure so we can grow our economy, improve our quality of life and protect our environment for the generations to follow,” said Eideberg. “The Association of Equipment Manufacturers applauds the 58 Republicans and Democratic members of the Problem Solvers Caucus for putting forward a set of bipartisan and commonsense policy solutions that will address today’s challenges and capture future opportunities. “President Biden’s American Jobs Plan, bipartisan support in Congress for a surface transportation reauthorization bill, and today’s unveiling of the Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure Report for the
117th Congress by the Problem Solvers Caucus, point to growing momentum for a modern, sustainable and equitable infrastructure for all Americans. We urge the business community and policymakers to put policy ahead of politics and to work together to embrace and advance an affirmative vision for 21st century infrastructure and break free from the same old policies that have failed to move our country forward.” The Association of Equipment Manufacturers recently joined the Brookings Institution in unveiling a new report outlining a new affirmative vision for U.S. infrastructure titled “Rebuild With Purpose: An Affirmative Vision for 21st Century American Infrastructure.” The Association of Equipment Manufacturers also announced its commitment to a set of national policy priorities to revitalize the infrastructure systems that move the American economy, including fiscal health, resilience, workforce and digitalization.

Ussery Services Forestry Mulching Hosts Demo Event
T
raditionally, a manufacturer will work with a contractor for sourcing a location to hold a product demo and does the lion share of the work to coordinate all aspects and to bring in attendees. Such was not the case for a recent contractor mulching demo event in Sterling, Ga., just outside the city limits of Brunswick. Event host George Ussery of Ussery Services Forestry Mulching has been so impressed with his mulching products purchased from FAE, his carrier machines from his local John Deere dealer, and pretty much the industry as a whole, he decided to hold a demo event. Attendees were those people that he has been in close contact via Facebook and other contractors that share his passion for the mulching industry. Ussery pulled together a tremendously successful demo event on April 17 with Facebook friends from around the country turning out and product manufacturer FAE coming out to support the event by hosting a catered lunch and lots of FAE “swag” items. When asked why, Ussery said, “There’s some in the mulching industry that just
won’t talk to you about their business, much less get together, hang out, share tips and let you try their equipment. I don’t feel competition from others, and I just wanted something for all of us to get together. Some in this business are kind of like a family or a fraternity. I just asked people to come join us. For my Facebook group of friends in the industry, this is our first time meeting faceto-face. Some flew in from various parts of the country — it wasn’t just a local event.” The John Deere tractors and the FAE mulching heads for the demo were owned by Ussery Services. The company, which branched out into the mulching industry just two short years ago with an old tractor, now has a half-million dollars in machines and mulching equipment, and still growing every day. Ussery said that “everyone is here because I asked them, even FAE and the entertainment. It’s just some good ole Southern hospitality.” The first contractor to demo the FAE BL1/EX excavator mulcher mounted on a George Odbert of MAC Services made the trek from Lawrence, N.Y., to test the FAE see FAE page 36
A terrific crowd from several states turned out for the event.

FAE Mulching Heads Impress Contractors Near, Far FAE from page 32
Deere 60G was Eugene Stephens of E. Stephens Excavating, Macon, Ga, who said he loved it. “I do this kind of work on a regular basis. With this machine and this head, which runs off standard hydraulic flow, it is the sized machine that would easily allow me to get into residential areas without slinging material. It’s real smooth and the power continues without bogging down in heavy brush. I’m impressed.” Making the trek from New York to demo the machines was George Odbert of MAC Services, Lawrence, N.Y. “I’ve been running other heads and I’m here to see and test the FAE products. No one has these where I’m from because mulching in general isn’t as popular in upstate New York, so we had to come south to check it out.” Odbert has been in the mulching business for two years and sees that upgrading his process could be useful in becoming more productive in land clearing and reclaiming farmland and land for home sites. “With COVID, there are a lot of people coming from New York City out to the country to relocate and work remotely. These overgrown farmlands need to be cleaned up to be appealing for relocation. I’m looking for quicker speed and finer finish. Right now, the finished mulched product we leave behind is not the best it can be and doesn’t come out smooth like it does with these mulcher heads I’m testing today,” added Odbert. Another attendee that came from quite a distance was Jeff Karshner of All-Star Bobcat.

Volvo Expands Material Handler Line With New Models
Volvo Construction Equipment has launched the all-new EW200E material handler, aimed at the light waste handling segment. Its bigger brother — the EW240E material handler — is updated with a longer boom. “A dedicated material handler is purpose-built for these applications, compared with modifying an excavator to fit into these segments,” said Matthew McLean, product manager, excavators, Volvo CE. “Now we’ve added a second machine to our line-up with the EW200E MH, which is perfect for light and medium material handling like plastic, household waste and scrap.” Engineered for Durability, Productivity The EW200E material handler weighs 22.6 tons and is powered by a Volvo D6J 6-L Tier IV final engine that provides 173 hp (129 kW). The machine has three boom and arm configurations. The straight boom can be fitted with either a 13-ft. gooseneck arm or an 11-ft. 6-in. sorting arm, giving the EW200E a max reach of 33 ft. and a max lifting capacity of 25,600 lbs. The 26-ton EW240E material handler,
Volvo’s EW200E material handler is aimed at the light waste handling segment.
The EW200E material handler weighs 22.6 tons and is powered by a Volvo D6J 6-L Tier IV final engine that provides 173 hp (129 kW).
introduced in 2018 for medium-duty applications, now has a 23-ft. 9-in. straight boom, which is more than 2 ft. longer than the previous model. When combined with the existing 16-ft. 5-in. gooseneck arm, the new total reach is more than 39 ft. Additional Features The EW200E MH shares many components with the EW240E MH and other
Volvo wheeled excavators. Hydraulics matched to the Volvo engine allows the machines to find the sweet spot between engine speed and hydraulic efficiency. The boom float function and boom cylinder dampening minimize vibration and hold the grapple in place for increased stability. The grapple control and soft swing system work together for instantaneous response and smooth precision In addition, Volvo material handlers offer application-specific features to increase productivity, uptime and operator comfort: • Option of four stabilizers (front blade and rear outrigger as standard) • Cab can be raised more than 16 ft. above the ground • Cab has double-damped mounts to reduce noise and vibration • Outriggers, blade and cab-raising func-
tions can be completed without removing hands from joysticks • Factory-installed auxiliary circuits enable sorting grabs and orange-peel grapples • Adjustable arm-in and height limitations • Comfort Drive Control provides the ability to drive up to 12 mph using the roller on the joystick • Can be ordered without the steering column, which allows the operator to control the machine using only the joysticks • Auto idle and auto engine shutdown to help to reduce fuel consumption • Optional solid rubber tires • Optional waste package: protective screens and a reversible fan • Optional Smart View feature for bird’s eye view of machine The EW200E MH and EW240E MH are eligible for a free year of ActiveCare Direct, the Volvo telematics service that provides 24/7/365 machine monitoring and fleet utilization reporting directly from Volvo. They also are backed by the Volvo Lifetime Frame and Structure Warranty, which covers the frame, boom and arm for the entirety of the initial ownership period.

Access Difficult, High Altitude Construction Sites Easily Accessing mountain roads in the middle of a forest is sometimes impractical, and without public trails, it’s practically impossible. And even if often the sole way is to reach the peak is by foot, it can be weary but so rewarding. Let’s think how difficult it is for companies that need to make or maintain the forestry trails. Image the challenges they must face to reach their location with the proper equipment for the job, while maintaining low operating costs, and without impacting the forest’s resources.
In Austria, a BF120.4 crusher bucket followed the ski slopes’ route, while crushing limestone and using it as base material.
and expenses commonly associated with these forestry jobs, according to the manufacturer. When Roads Aren’t There... Reaching the job site is the first expense and obstacle to consider, especially if the location is in an isolated area with limited or no access. Bigger machines require expensive, specialized transportation difficult to obtain for A company in northern Italy had to create a similar projects. By mounting an MB scenic path that leads into a forest.

By using the unit, the department eliminated all material hauling costs, which helps for the season. To overcome all the challenges it’s crucial save millions of dollars a year from transto rely on simple, versatile, and fast equip- portation cost and reduces the invasive species and other type of minerals that were ment. MB Crusher attachments open the road trucked in the past to do this type of jobs. A similar situation happened in Serbia, ahead, literally, for companies who use them: they can be installed on and transport- where the SrbljaSume state department — ed with the machinery you plan to use for the which is dedicated to constructing and mainproject and can adapt to any job site to taining all forest trails — is using the BF90.3 process material. They eliminate all struggle crusher bucket on an excavator. This MB
unit is crushing basalt that will be used as road base to either construct or to preserve existing roads. A company in northern Italy had a similar project: to create a scenic path that leads into a forest. With the BF90.3 mobile crusher, they processed natural stone and rocks and managed harder materials with ease. Everything was efficiently done on site. The same thing happened in another region, Friuli Venezia Giulia, where a larger crusher bucket model, the BF120.4, arrived at a construction site in the mountains, despite it being difficult to reach. Mountain trails aren’t solely used for hiking. In the winter, snow transforms these locations into renowned ski resorts. These ski resorts have to be ready before the season officially starts, meaning that a quick turnaround is necessary. In Austria, a BF120.4 crusher bucket followed the ski slopes’ route, while crushing limestone and using it as base material. Separating and selecting dirt is the next crucial point when constructing trails: a common solution is to haul the material up and down the mountain. You can get rid of this step with MB Crusher’s units. MB’s screening buckets can access all construction sites and screen material on the spot. This happened on a job site in Canada’s
forests where they built a path leading to a residential area using the soil and rock screened with an MB-S10 screening bucket. Not only did they eliminate all hauling fees, but also followed all environmental protocols by using material available at the location. When Roads Need to Be Cleared... Mountain trails need to be frequently cleared of obstacles such as tree trunks, branches and debris moved onto the walkway by storms and winds. A massive storm that hit Italy in 2018, razed a large portion of forest in the Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto regions. To recover the fallen tree trunks and debris from roads and paths and equipment that would help move the materials regardless of how the tree trunks were laying: the MB Crusher MB-G demolition and sorting grapples. The full rotation and a strong clasping strength, allows to pick up materials at different angles while also ensuring nothing falls out of the sides. MB Crusher grapples are easy to operate and is the perfect tool to move objects with strength and precision, according to the manufacturer. Trails have to be cleared of surrounding vegetation and brushwood that could be an obstacle to foot traffic. This also can be done with one of MB Crusher’s grapples: once they are mounted onto your equipment, you pair them with the correct accessory and get the job done. All over the world, our customers show how MB Crusher units are a great tool for the agricultural and forestry industries that have to deal with difficult-to-access locations, high operational costs and environmental protection laws. MB Crusher’s units process material on any job site, making it available for immediate reuse or resale. All kind of materials are handled with ease and the units don’t need to be sent to special centers to be serviced, the maintenance can be done on the job site without lengthy downtime.

Danuser Expands to Support Construction Segment A multiyear expansion program is currently under way at Danuser, a manufacturer of skid steer and tractor attachments, to meet growing demand from construction customers and other industry segments. Glenn Danuser, co-owner and a fourth-generation leader of the family-owned company based in Fulton, Mo., said the expansion program is designed to help streamline production, improve cost control and increase overall efficiency. “In addition to keeping pace with current orders, we will have new products coming out soon, including larger products, that require additional modern space,” he said. Danuser said the current phase of the expansion program is scheduled to be finished this year. It is a 6,500-sq.-ft. metal building to provide more space for storing finished inventory, with a capacity for 1,400 products. “The additional space will enable us to shorten product delivery time to our distributor/dealer network,” he explained. The new building is located approximately 4 mi. off-site on land that has been in the Danuser family for many years and was formerly used for a dairy farm. The expansion program began in 2014, consisting of a new 32,500-sq.-ft. addition connected to the company’s headquarters plant. That space is primarily used for laser cutting, presswork, robotics, hand welding and receiving. The next phase, finished in 2019, involved construction of a new 11,600-sq.-ft. headquarters office building. The structure features flexible open office areas ringed by private offices and conference rooms, and a cafeteria that transitions
into the existing manufacturing shop. Danuser said planning is expected to get under way for the final expansion phase early next year. That work will expand the company’s powder coating operation, manufacturing and additional warehousing space on the headquarters site. “We’re addressing the expansion needs of today as well as thinking about our needs for the future,” Danuser said. “The market for attachments has continued to grow, and a lot of
companies are getting into the attachment sector. Our strength continues to be offering patented niche products and adhering to the same quality standards since our company was established over 100 years ago.” Danuser attachments include the EP Auger System, Mega Mixer material handling bucket, Intimidator land clearing attachment and Hammer post driver and concrete breaker.

Creative Design Fuels Bauer Built’s Future Plans Among the top product lines are the SD-36 off-road side-dump trailer and the SMS-32 manure spreader.
By Ruksana Hussain CEG CORRESPONDENT
When Vaughn Bauer began designing and manufacturing folding planters for local agriculture in Paton, Iowa, he was simply improving upon the design and utility of machinery used commonly by farmers in the area. Not only did he create and develop his own unique solutions, but he also helped others with his expertise, as well. Word caught on quickly and he became known for his innovations. What began as Paton Machine and Welding, a machine, weld and paint garage for custom jobs that opened in 1982, is now Bauer Built Manufacturing (BBM), an 80-staff strong operation housed in a 300,000-sq.-ft. large-scale manufacturing facility with services including CNC machining, laser cutting and saw cutting, welding and assembly. The company specializes in designing, manufacturing and assembling construction and agricultural machinery for clients within and outside the

United States. The company’s tremendous growth in these 40 years has included an interest from American manufacturing behemoth Deere & Company. In 2002, a team from John Deere came knocking on Bauer’s door, having observed his creativity in action, and leading to Bauer working exclusively with the company on cobranded planters. The Deere Bauer toolbars are said to be the only cobranding John Deere has ever done on equipment in the country. In 2013, Deere & Company acquired part of BBM and in 2015, Bauer was recognized with the Greene County Farm Bureau Distinguished Service to Ag Award for his contributions to the area and the industry. “Our main forte now is we are a big enough shop that we Bauer Built Manufacturing’s can handle large products primary markets are conand projects to do start-tostruction and agriculture. finish manufacturing. Where a lot of places only specialize in welding or machining, we can do everything,” said Design Engineer Garret Johnson, an Iowa State University see BAUER page 52

Bauer Built Manufacturing Eyes Expanding Markets BAUER from page 50
agricultural engineering graduate who has worked at BBM for four years. His work entails creating new products, custom fixtures, designing single parts or creating complex assemblies as needs may arise in-house. “I enjoy working here mostly because of the constant change in workflow. I’ve built and designed so many things in the course of my time here ... A lot of companies will reach out to us because of our short timeframes and what we can do,” he said, which he attributes to “the nature of the facility, the resources we can allocate to a project, and the people we can provide.” Specialty equipment at Bauer includes a Tanaka LMRV TF6000 plate laser, measuring 120 ft. long by 10 ft. wide, and two Mazak 3D FABRI GEAR 300 tube lasers, a niche product that can deal with up to 50-ft. tubes. For high production weldments, Bauer has two robotic welding cells — a Lincoln Electric System 55 and a Wolf Robot (that can hold up to 7,000 lbs.). Two paint booths — a powder gun booth and a liquid gun booth — allow for larger paint components and custom manufacturing. When it comes to custom clients, work begins with creating a 3D model of the product that is shared with manufacturing engi-

neers “on how we want to process it in our facility.” The order is released to the shop where it then gets welded, painted and assembled. BBM’s primary markets are construction and agriculture. Among the top product lines are the SD-36 off-road side-dump trailer and the SMS-32 manure spreader. One is a 40ton off-road side-dump and the other is a 35ton industrial strength manure spreader for custom applicators. The side dump trailer
was designed with contractors in mind to meet their needs for various jobs in soft conditions and has seen growing demand through the Midwest. It moves material faster, offers ease of operation and durability and is priced competitively, according to the manufacturer. Features include hydraulic suspension and capacity, 360-degree rollover hitch with either ag or gooseneck hitch-style option, self-steer rear axle and triple-axle design and
tandem option. Recent customers include Fehn Companies in Minnesota, Murphy Excavating in Kentucky and Waringa Farming in Australia. With business ramping up again this year following the slump brought on by the pandemic, BBM is eyeing markets on both coasts and internationally. While the pandemic did affect BBM with production going slow as some of the companies it worked with were affected, there was no direct impact within the company itself. With a spacious manufacturing facility and staff spread out across functions, the offices and factories never closed, and there were no local county-mandated closures. Johnson did share that finding skilled labor is a challenge “as a whole in the manufacturing industry. In an effort to build the future of manufacturing, BBM is engaged with the area community colleges and high school career academies promoting the theory that a skilled trade is more than a job, it is a career without the burden of debt associated with bachelor’s degrees.” Another challenge is being able to compete economically in a niche area of the industry. Despite that, he voiced promise in business picking up again and demand for Bauer’s trailers on the rise. CEG

Volvo Inspires Future Female Engineers
BROOKS SALES, INC. www.brookssales.com 3144 Hwy 74 East • Monroe, NC 28112 704-233-4242
Following the discouraging news that it is around the age of 10 at which girls stop considering engineering as a potential career path, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) saw it as an opportunity to redress the balance. Through a series of innovation workshops called Vera — in honor of Sweden’s first female engineer Vera Sandberg — Volvo CE together with strategic partner Mälardalen University (MDH) set about reversing this trend by inspiring young girls to recognize their abilities in science and technology. In these workshops, girls aged 10 and over are given a series of challenges, all of which are set against real-life scenarios, and provided with a number of tools and materials to work together to find technological solutions. Not only have the girls shown a stronger interest in these subjects as a result, but evidence shows that the longterm benefit of a better gender balAnna Sannö (L) and Ulrika Sultan at one of ance in engineering will result in the workshops. more inclusive and innovative solutions for society’s complex ers.

One-of-a-Kind Vessel Vital to Fix Mississippi River Erosion
By Giles Lambertson
The lower Mississippi River is a habitual wanderer. With its water flowing into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of between 200,000 and 700,000 cu. ft. per second, the powerful river constantly erodes its banks. It carved out its present route to the Gulf about a thousand years ago and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is determined that the meandering river now stay on course. To retard further erosion, the Corps spends six to seven months each year cladding banks along vulnerable stretches of the lower Mississippi. It utilizes a one-of-a-kind vessel called a mat-sinking unit or MSU to weave together a mattress of concrete blocks, which then is laid along the riverbank and bottom. The current MSU was launched in 1948 — nearly three quarters of a century ago — and is showing its age. The good news is that the unique floating work platform is on schedule to be replaced by a state-of-the-art vessel.
CEG CORRESPONDENT
** The Mississippi River flows south for more than 2,300 mi. to reach Gulf waters, draining numerous states between the Rockies and the Appalachian Mountains. The last thousand miles is mostly where the action is for USACE personnel because, unlike upper regions, the lower Mississippi contains no locks or dams. It is uncontrolled flow to the sea. “The lower Mississippi is our workplace” is how Barry Sullivan characterized it. Sullivan is chief of the mat-sinking unit, which works out of the Corps’ Vicksburg District office. The MSU work is part of the engineers’ ongoing effort to protect some 460 mi. of levees within the district and ensure the waterway remains navigable for river traffic. The work is seasonal and the length of the season can vary. Generally, it starts in August and runs through February. In 10-hour days during that period, the vessel’s crew works from a deck on which USACE photo are neatly laid out concrete pavers 3 Project Manager John Cross operates a crane at the Armor 1 testing site at in. thick, 15 in. long and 4 ft. wide. the National Robotics Engineering Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.

and convoyed to the floating MSU for assembly and sinking. Each supply barge holds 585 squares, which is about 950 tons of concrete. When a barge arrives, it is tied up to the MSU and the building blocks are unloaded for real-time utilization. The empty barge then is returned to the plant for another load as a full barge takes its place. Most days on the river, five barge-loads of the concrete squares are off-loaded, joined and sunk. To help the operating MSU stay in position while riding the current, a 400-ft.-long barge is moored on the vessel’s downstream side, perpendicular to the riverbank. The MSU floats out into the river alongside the barge with the mat trailing out behind it and disappearing into the water. To stabilize this entire floating complex of working and moored craft, the MSU crew relies on cables running to several Caterpillar D6 and D7 dozers stationed ashore. Another set of cables connect the mat to other dozers so that, as the matboat moves out into the waterway, the mat is pulled from the deck and into the river waters. After a 900-ft.-long mat is completely deployed, the moored barge, MSU and onshore dozers are floated downstream and the mat-sinking process begins anew. Sullivan said when the process is working smoothly, about 25 ft. of mat is deployed every five minutes. “Sometimes that can stretch up to 10 minutes. For example, one of our gantry cranes isn’t working right now, so we’re doing the work with three cranes. There are a lot of variables like that to slow us down, but on a good day, we have five-minute launches.” The designed life of the mat is 50 years. “We have some that are older than that and still are in place,” said Sullivan. “But we also have some mats that were a lot younger and are gone. The river said, ‘You’re not going to stay here!’ and ripped them out.” see MISSISSIPPI page 64

Next-Gen Mat-Sinking Unit Will Protect 460 Mi. of Levees
USACE photo
The Motor Vessel Benyaurd pushes the mat-sinking unit through the Mississippi River in New Orleans, La., in October. MISSISSIPPI from page 62
When the river wins, the MSU eventually returns to the scene and overlays a new mattress on the remnants of the old one. Erosion-fighting mats can last a lot longer than 50 years, as Sullivan recently was reminded. He was shown a sonar picture of a stretch of river bottom. The photo displayed a mat of bound willow trees that 19th-century engineers placed for the same reason Sullivan is laying concrete mats there today. ** A next-generation mat-sinking unit is in the works and will be christened “Armor 1” — mat-sinking is equated with “armoring” the bottom and banks of the river. The new vessel will be bigger, more robotic and far more productive than the current boat. According to chief project manager John Cross, Armor 1 will be the same height and width as the current vessel — 40 ft. and 75 ft., respectively — but at 212 ft. will be 36 ft. longer. The extra length is designed to stabilize the craft in faster water and create a better working area on deck. Safety and reliability were key design parameters for Armor 1, Cross said. The vessel will incorporate modern safety features and comply with all safety regulations promulgated since the 1940s when the predecessor craft was constructed. It will be double-hulled, for example. It also will be of modular design so that parts and systems can be easily procured and the vessel reliably maintained. By comparison, the gantry of cranes on the current vessel, which unload the mat squares and position them on the deck, were last refurbished in the 1970s. Because OEM crane parts are not available, Corps machinists routinely fabricate replacements. “The other thing we focused on in designing Armor 1 was increasing our efficiency,” said Cross, who is a Corps of Engineers retired colonel who came out of retirement to help get the project rolling. “Today, on a really good day on the
river, they can sink about 2,000 squares. Our goal was to double that.” Not only can more mats be sunk in a season, the bigger and better boat will be able to finish a job faster and get out of the way of commercial river traffic. “The Mississippi is a very, very busy waterway,” he said. “Sometimes we have to close the channel to barge traffic for up to 12 hours. It’s like working on a highway. You don’t want to clog up the road with construction work.” New technologies will help speed the mat-sinking. Stitching the squares together on deck to form a complete mattress now is a manual process. Armor 1 will replace most of the manpower with pneumatic robotics. The gantry of overhead cranes that work in tandem to handle the mattress squares also are operated manually today and will become robotic. A design team at Carnegie Mellon University National Research Engineering Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., devoted several years to developing the Armor 1 robotic system. These and other technological advancements will reduce the number of crew members from the current complement of 225. “But there still will be plenty of people on the river,” Cross said. “The MSU doesn’t work by itself. There will be a lot of humans still involved. It’s like in a modern factory. Someone is not putting on each lug nut in an assembly, but someone is monitoring the station and making sure the robot is getting it done right.” Crew members on the new vessel will be a mix of new and veteran workers. Some will have to learn a new skill, some not. Hinds Community College in Vicksburg is working with the Corps to develop a training curriculum for Armor 1 crew members. The vessel is under construction at the Thoma-Sea shipbuilding facility in Lockport, La. It is on schedule to be launched in December 2022 and to be utilized on the Mississippi River in the 2023 working season. The entire cost
of the project, including development and construction of a prototype, is $125 million. The land-based prototype already is being tested in Pennsylvania. Last September, the full-scale model began to validate the worth of Carnegie Mellon’s robotic systems. The robot on the prototype is the largest ever constructed by the university. Performance testing will continue in Pennsylvania for the next two years. ** And so, the revetment work continues. Year after year, the USACE labors to keep the Mississippi River in its banks and out of neighboring fields and communities. Engineers monitor the erosion of the river’s edges and the aggregation of sediment in river channels and respond with riprap and mat-sinking as well as an auxiliary activity, dredging. Mat-sinking is weather sensitive, of course. Sub-freezing temperatures halt the work because ice is a complicating factor in deck and supply work. Thunderstorms also can interrupt the process via wind-whipped waters. But Sullivan said the most dangerous meteorological danger is lightning. The MSU is equipped with lightning sensors that warn of approaching electrical fields. The biggest impediment to work during the 2020-21 season was the COVID virus. Normally, crews work 12-day shifts, sleeping in a dormitory situated on a moored barge. When the virus struck, Sullivan instituted 25-day work schedules to help isolate crews from the pandemic. Travel home for their days off is in 15-passenger vans to minimize interaction with the public. “It seems to have worked,” the chief said shortly before the season ended March 4. “We had a small outbreak early, but we did not have to shut down. I would hope next season we can get back to some semblance of normalcy. At least I hope 25-day shifts are not the new normal.” CEG
