The barrage of orange cones and heavy equipment is a familiar site for motorists who travel the Raleigh Beltline in Wake County, N.C. For almost half a decade, construction crews have been working on the $475 million effort known as the Blue Ridge I-440 Improvement project, taking place on the interstate between just south of Walnut Street in Cary and north of Wade Avenue.

“The I-440 Beltline is a critical link in the Triangle region roadway network,” said Cody Winkler, resident engineer of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). “Increasing capacity and making associated improvements at interchanges along this stretch will reduce congestion and resolve the bottleneck issue that exists on either end of the project, improving mobility and safety for drivers in the region.”

The redesigned Blue Ridge Road portion of the project will improve traffic flow at the busy junction see BELTLINE page 66

Firms Roll Up Sleeves to Find Workers AGC Finds Contractors Using Multiple Hiring Tools to Grow Workforce Numbers The construction industry is no stranger to hard work.

So, when it comes to workforce shortages, instead of throwing up their hands contractors are rolling up their sleeves. Companies have gotten clever in their strategies to overcome workforce issues. Not wasting time pointing fingers at the federal government’s preference for higher education over craft training, the industry instead is opting to develop a culture that invests in workers for the long haul.

In its annual workforce survey, the AGC finds its members are carving away at the “significant” impact of federal workforce policies.

La. to Begin $2.3B I-10/Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles Construction to replace Louisiana’s most notorious bridge on Interstate 10 could finally begin this year, ultimately clearing a national chokepoint for improved cross-country commerce.

Republican Gov. Jeff Landry and Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development (DOTD) Secretary Joe Donahue announced a financial “notice to proceed” for the new $2.3 billion Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles on Aug. 15.

“Since I took office in January, my administration has remained committed to getting this critical project off the ground,” Landry said in a statement. “Reaching the notice to proceed is proof of that dedication to the people of Louisiana, as well as our continued drive to improve and modernize Louisiana’s infrastructure.”

President Biden and former President Trump have both identified the existing 72-year-old Calcasieu River Bridge as a symbol of America’s aging infrastructure.

The span, which predates the country’s interstate highway system, is an iconic landmark with more than 5,000 decorative crossed flintlock derringer pistols on both side rails, but it often provides a white-knuckle ride for anyone driving vehicles across it. Unlike most modern bridges, the current Lake Charles span has steep approach grades and lacks shoulders and lighting.

Its notorious reputation is nationally known.

On a scale of 100, the structure is only rated 6.6 by the National Bridge Inventory, according to the Lafayette Daily Advertiser, and there were unconfirmed rumors that the U.S. Secret Service would not let President Biden cross it when he visited Lake Charles in 2021.

The old bridge was designed and built to have a 50-year capacity and carry about one-third of the 90,000-plus vehicles that cross it today.

“It impacts our supply chain for the entire country,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told the USA Today Network in 2023 when he visited Lake Charles to announce

a $150 federal grant from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. Now, DOTD has finally locked down about $1.2 billion federal and state money, with the balance to be raised in tolls after the new bridge is built. Additionally, the Louisiana State Bond Commission approved the sale of private activity bonds for the project at its July 24 meeting.

The new interstate bridge will not be as steep as its predecessor, and is designed to include additional lanes, full shoulders and roadway lighting.

“Tens of thousands of motorists cross the outdated existing bridge Louisiana DOTD rendering every day,” Donahue said in a news release. “A new bridge is long over- A conceptual view of what the bridge could look like. due, and clearing this hurdle puts our The Louisiana DOTD noted on its website that prelimistate closer than ever to seeing construction on this essential nary construction activities on the Calcasieu River Bridge project.” project may begin as early as this year, with the entire effort anticipated to take approximately seven years to complete.

Surrounding Portions of I-10 Once construction is finished, Calcasieu Bridge Partners to Also Receive Upgrades Louisiana signed the public-private partnership agreement will operate and maintain the new bridge for up to 50 years.

Tolls will not be charged until the new bridge is open to with Calcasieu Bridge Partners (CBP) in January to build the traffic, according to DOTD. The state will retain nearly 15 new span and roadway, a project that will stretch 5.5 mi. percent of toll revenues after construction, maintenance and from Lake Charles to Westlake.

Slow, Steady Progress Repairing America’s Bridges, According to Data Nearly 221,800 U.S. bridges need major repair or replacement, an American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) analysis of recently released federal government data shows.

Placed end-to-end, these structures span over 6,100 mi., or the equivalent of every mile of urban and rural interstate in California, Florida and Illinois.

Of the bridges needing repair, 42,067 are rated in poor condition and classified as “structurally deficient.” That is 324 fewer than in 2023.

States with the biggest decline in the number of bridges in poor condition: Pennsylvania (down 90), Louisiana (down 87), Florida (down 85), West Virginia (down 74) and California (down 64).

Bridges in poor condition represent 6.8 percent of the 2024 U.S. bridge inventory — compared to 7.3 percent in 2020.

“Over the last five years we have seen significant progress in states like Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Mississippi,

Louisiana and West Virginia — reducing the number of bridges in poor condition,” said Alison Premo Black, ARTBA’s chief economist who conducted the analysis.

“While improvements can take time, every bridge repair increases the safety and efficiency of our network for the traveling public.”

States have received $15.9 billion in the first three years of the IIJA’s new $27.5 billion formula bridge program and, to date, have committed 46 percent ($7.3 billion) of these resources to over 4,170 bridge projects.

The remaining 54 percent ($8.5 billion) of already released bridge funds — plus the $10.6 billion that will be provided in the next two years — will support needed bridge improvements well into the future.

Twenty-three states have committed at least half of their available bridge formula funds, with the top 10 being: Georgia (100 percent), North Dakota (99 percent), Indiana (98 percent), Florida (96 percent),

Oklahoma (95 percent), Nebraska (91.5 percent), Idaho (91.5 percent), Arkansas (88 percent), West Virginia (85 percent) and Alabama (85 percent).

Bridges that have come off the “poor condition” list include: • I-695 over U.S. 40, Maryland • I-93 over Conley Street, Massachusetts • I-680 over Capitol Avenue, California • I-55 over Madison Street, Illinois • I-95 over Route 608, Virginia Bridges newly rated in poor condition include: • I-90 over Canal to Stewart Streets, Illinois • Interstate 680 over Monument Boulevard, California • I-93 over Mystic Valley Parkway, Massachusetts • I-95 North and Southbound over Thurbers Avenue, Rhode Island • IH-35 over Grand Avenue, Texas Based on average cost data submitted by states to the U.S. Department of

Transportation, ARTBA estimates it would cost more than $400 billion to make all needed repairs to the 221,800 structures.

About Report The data in the report is from the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory (NBI), downloaded on Aug. 20.

Specific conditions on bridges may have changed because of recent work or updated inspections.

Bridges are classified in good, fair or poor condition based on their inspection ratings and definitions from U.S. DOT. The definition of “poor” is when a key element of the bridge — the deck, superstructure, substructure or culverts, are rated in poor or worse condition. During inspection, the conditions of a variety of bridge elements are rated on a scale of 0 (failed condition) to 9 (excellent condition). A rating of 4 is considered “poor” condition.

Work Nears Completion On Caddo Lake Highway Bridge More than a year of detours will soon be in the rearview mirror of motorists traveling over the Caddo Lake Bridge on Louisiana Highway 1 in the community of Mooringsport, northwest of Shreveport.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced Aug. 30 that the bulk of the major construction of the modernized $17.3 million crossing project is finished. All that is left to do is install the bridge’s concrete barrier rail, signage and striping.

Approximately $18.2 million was initially allocated for the north Caddo Parish project, but DOTD Public Information Officer Erin Buchanan told the Advocate that the agency was able to save money when it realized the bridge needed to be demolished immediately rather than allowing one lane to remain open while the other was being worked on.

“We were able to expedite the project timeline [and save money] by doing that because the contractor did not have to manage any traffic control,” she said.

Construction on the new structure began in 2022 following necessary utility relocations.

Shortly after the beginning of 2024, all the concrete pile foundations were driven into place for the new La. 1/Caddo Lake Bridge project. Those types of piles act as posts or columns that are driven into the water to support the bridge.

At the same time, Jensen Construction Co., an

Iowa contractor in charge of the project, poured concrete for the bridge deck, which makes up the driving surface. Nearby, work also progressed to complete the bent caps, which sit atop the piles and help distribute pressure as vehicles travel across the bridge. Once that task was done, crews moved on to the installation of the girders that serve to support the bridge deck.

In between recent rain showers this summer, the contractor worked on building the La. 1 roadway approaches that tie into the new bridge.

DOTD is anticipating that the Caddo Lake span will be fully open to traffic in early October, with its progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors that can impact construction timelines. If the job is completed by then, by Halloween those traversing the towns of Oil City, Mooringsport, and points north and south will have another way to do so.

The original Caddo Bridge, which was built in 1940, was removed in 2022 due to its deteriorating condition, and to help to expedite the new bridge project schedule. Prior to its demolition, about 4,800 vehicles crossed the structure daily.

It is adjacent to the 1914 Caddo Lake drawbridge designed by J.A.L. Waddell, the same engineer responsible for the A Truss Bridge over Cross Bayou in downtown Shreveport. That bridge has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1996. 

Melbourne, Fla., Uses Rocks to Protect Street From Erosion Some might say this project “rocks,” at least in how fast it got done.

But in an emergency, officials in Melbourne, Fla., had to do things the hard way — and not exactly the most environmentally friendly way — to save a power pole and a stretch of Pineapple Avenue.

Melbourne crews recently finished a $451,265 project to stabilize 137 yds. of the roadway’s embankment slope along the Indian River Lagoon, just north of Hiawatha Street. To get the work completed, the city covered 100 percent of the work’s cost.

Florida Today noted Aug. 18 that in a June 21 memorandum to City Manager Jenni Lamb, Melbourne public works and utilities officials wrote, “The embankment has washed out to the extent that a power transmission pole foundation is in jeopardy of being undermined.”

Melbourne Could Not Wait On Mangroves to Grow To secure shorelines, especially after hurricanes or when erosion leads to an emergency situation, cities and communities across many areas of Florida, including Melbourne in Brevard County, often opt for large rocks, concrete seawalls and

other “gray” structures, rather than mangroves, shellfish and other “green” methods.

But it is the “living shorelines” that combine manufactured wave breaks, mangroves and other native vegetation — options that offer much less expensive and better long-term protection, and are more lagoon-friendly, according to some experts.

In the case of Melbourne, located on Central Florida’s Space Coast, south of Cape Canaveral, municipal officials told Florida Today that they had no time to wait for mangroves and other plants to grow.

With an eye on the future, though, Melbourne officials said that they have approached the Brevard Zoo about the possibility of the nature sanctuary helping to plant mangroves in front of the rocks along Pineapple Avenue sometime in the future.

The emergency shoreline restoration project was completed two weeks ahead of schedule, reported Florida Today in Viera.

The erosion was not tied to any specific storm, meaning the city could not pursue reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the project’s cost.

Shenandoah General Construction, a Melbourne contractor, used 1,335 tons of different-sized rocks to stabilize 410 ft. of the Indian River Lagoon shoreline. The work restabilized the road shoulder, protected the foundations of the Florida Power & Light (FPL) transmission pole at the site, and will prevent future erosion, city officials told the newspaper. FPL officials had expressed concerns to the city about the transmission pole.

No water or sewer pipes were at risk because they had already been relocated.

To complete the project, crews backfilled dirt and installed a geotextile fabric underlayment, as well as a 6-in.-thick layer of bedding stone, a 2-ft.-thick layer of riprap rock rubble, a turf reinforcement mat, pin-fastened sod and a contingency 52 tons of asphalt pavement replacement.

The stabilization effort required an administrative budget transfer of $230,000 from Melbourne’s general projects unappropriated budget savings.

In speaking with Florida Today, city leaders added that there is another nearby 350-ft. section of Pineapple Avenue to the north of the just-completed project that may soon need the same sort of rock armor; however, the portion of the street

with the FPL poles that feed downtown Eau Gallie needed attention first.

Rock Use Not Seen as Longtime Solution for Lagoon Rock and concrete seawalls blunt horseshoe crabs and other marine life and plants that can secure shorelines, such as mangroves, which like other trees are a significant countermeasure to climate change. In Brevard County, 80 percent of mangroves have vanished since the 1950s.

Mangrove leaves drop into the water and shed nutrients that sustain the tiny crabs and other marine life that fish eat.

Recently, the tide has been turning toward bringing estuaries like the lagoon back to their roots. Sunshine State cities are beginning to remove what is left of the “old guard” rock and concrete seawalls, as those fail in hurricanes, and now are trying to mimic with mangroves and other plants what nature did for millennia.

For example, earlier this summer, Brevard County launched a $4.2 million project to guard the A. Max Brewer Memorial Parkway in nearby Titusville with huge, pyramid-shaped concrete wave breaks, baby clams, seagrass plantings and sand. 

Vanderbilt University Plans to Build $520M School in S. Florida This past spring, officials with Vanderbilt University, located in Nashville, Tenn., proposed a $520 million graduate school campus for business and computing in West Palm Beach, Fla. That was followed in August by Florida officials giving a major boost to the effort by donating a 7-acre plot of land to the university.

After Vanderbilt Chancellor Daniel Diermeier and local South Florida developer Stephen Ross presented their plans for the campus, West Palm Beach city officials voted to donate 2 acres of land for the project on Aug. 20. The very next day, Palm Beach County contributed an adjacent 5-acre parcel, according to the Vanderbilt Hustler, the university’s official student newspaper, in a Sept. 3 report.

The entire 7 acres were initially intended for a University of Florida (UF) graduate campus. Fortune Magazine reported, however, that Vanderbilt alumni in the West Palm Beach area began trying to attract the university to the South Florida city in 2023 after the UF agreement fell through.

Before construction on the campus can begin, county and city officials must conduct a detailed review of the process and bring it up for a vote. Palm Beach County Mayor Maria Sachs believes that that process will take at least a month.

A university representative said Vanderbilt is working with local leaders in West Palm Beach to determine how it can best contribute to the community.

“We are assessing the potential for expanding our business education and computing programs to West Palm Beach — an area of tremendous growth and investment in private equity, venture capital, [financial technology, or fintech], and investment banking,” the representative said in a statement to the Vanderbilt Hustler. “We have begun meeting with West Palm Beach city and Palm Beach County officials about parcels of land we are exploring as the location for this project.”

If all goes well with the construction, West Palm Beach officials noted, the Vanderbilt graduate campus could open as early as Fall 2026.

Vanderbilt Looks to Build Campus ÂOf the FutureÊ Thomas Steenburgh, dean of the Owen School of Business at Vanderbilt, expressed his optimism about the university’s early plans for a South Florida campus. In speaking with the college’s student newspaper, he explained that the new campus would not only be a site for the business school but for a new Vanderbilt graduate school of “collective computing.” “[At Vanderbilt,] we’re interested in being a business school of the future, a university of the future,” Steenburgh said in an interview. “The big picture is that branding-wise, we would be one of the only schools in the South where we have a presence in two [of the more] rapidly growing economic markets [in the region], and that would be terrific for us.”

He also emphasized the impact of the Vanderbilt graduate school campus on the local Florida economy and environment as far as job opportunities. see SCHOOL page 20

Mauldin Celebrates Impact of U.S. Equipment Manufacturing

C

(L-R) are Cameron Calder; Kip Eidenberg of I Make America; and David, Glen and Wayne Calder.

The dedicated team members who manufacture the Mauldin Paving Products enjoyed a wonderful lunch of burgers, chicken sandwiches, beverages and games.

The M415XT maintainer is a versatile and maneuverable small grader with solid live-axle drive, joystick controls, a 10-ft moldboard and much more.

alder Brothers Corp. in Greenville, S.C., makers of the Mauldin Paving Products line of machines, hosted a special event Aug. 27, 2024, to celebrate how much equipment manufacturing contributes to society in 2024.

Throughout July and August, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) made an 11-state trip across the South to visit many of its member companies, including Calder Brothers Corp., manufacturers of Mauldin Paving Products, with the objective of touting the industry’s impact on this country and the economy as a whole.

AEM did so via its Manufacturing Express, an interactive mobile road tour that traveled thousands of miles and made dozens of stops this summer.

“The intention and mission of the AEM Manufacturing Express is to thank the men and women of the equipment manufacturing industry and highlight the importance of manufacturing in this country, in particular the production of construction and agricultural machines,” said Glen Calder, vice president of operations for Calder Brothers.

“One of the fascinating truths about the world is that everything we have, everything we see, and everything we touch is either grown or mined,” he added. “As an equipment maker, we are proud to be a part of AEM, an organization that is responsible for feeding, clothing, and powering the world.”

According to a recent AEM news release, the equipment industry has the numbers to support its significance to American citizens and their economic health.

“Eleven percent of manufacturing jobs are supported by equipment manufacturing, which represents 2.3 million men and women, and contributes $316 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product annually,” the group noted on its website.

“From creating family-sustaining jobs and driving innovation, to supporting the movement of people and goods and helping to power vital public services and utilities, there is so much to celebrate, recognize, and admire about the industry.

AEM added that the goal of its largest-ever public engagement initiative was met “and will continue to remain the same: tell the story of the people, organizations, and programs driving equipment manufacturing forward.”

Due to Calder Brothers’s status as one of South Carolina top manufacturers, a number of prominent political leaders in the Palmetto State have visited the Greenville plant over the years and met with its officials and factory-floor employees as part of the AEM group, Calder said.

“We have had the privilege of hosting former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, former U.S. Congressman Trey Gowdy and current Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, among others,” he said. “When Gov. Haley visited, that was part of our drive to get the federal infrastructure package passed, something of which we could all be proud and help give us the manufacturing edge that we currently lack.”

Now celebrating 30 years in business under Calder family leadership, Mauldin makes a range of asphalt pavers, road maintainers, asphalt rollers, motor graders, truck-mounted asphalt and water tanks and trailer-mounted liquid asphalt and emulsion tanks for contractors across the country through a vast network of dealerships.  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2024 Construction Equipment Guide.

AEM Visits LeeBoy as Paver Maker Marks 60th Anniversary

T

Johan “Kip” Eideberg (L) of AEM and Shannon Seymour, president of LeeBoy, sit in the 8608 paver.

A few of the many dedicated people at LeeBoy who worked very hard putting the event together (L-R) are Bryce Davis, Maddie Eaker, Kendra Bell and Kristi Harris.

LeeBoy has been a member of AEM since 1991. (L-R) are Bryce Davis, Kristi Harris and Shannon Seymour, all of LeeBoy; and Jennifer Graham and Johan “Kip” Eideberg, both of AEM.

he Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) stopped by the North Carolina production plant of LeeBoy Aug. 29, 2024, as part of the trade association’s Manufacturing Express bus tour.

Throughout the summer, the goal of the AEM Manufacturing Express initiative was to recognize and celebrate the industry by making 80 visits across 20 states. The tour also highlights the innovative technologies, processes, people, and products that are revolutionizing the U.S. manufacturing sector.

“Equipment manufacturers are the backbone of America, representing $2.3 million employees,” Kip Eideberg, AEM’s senior vice president, said in a recent news release. “In North Carolina alone, our industry contributes 87,031 jobs and $11.3 billion to the state economy. The AEM Manufacturing Express is thrilled to be in North Carolina to celebrate the critical role of the state’s equipment manufacturers in building, powering, and feeding our nation.”

During its stop at LeeBoy’s Lincolnton factory, AEM also feted the company and its employees’ contributions at a time when the construction equipment maker is celebrating its 60th anniversary in business.

In addition, the AEM event, noted LeeBoy President Shannon Seymour, allows “us to let our associates get to know what AEM does for LeeBoy and showcase the company.”

Seymour added that AEM is made up of more than 1,000 member companies and approximately 2.3 million associates.

“It provides various resources for member companies such as data, market share analysis, and educational materials,” he said. “AEM is also very well tied into Washington and lobbies on our behalf to make sure that American manufacturing companies stay strong and remain a backbone of this country.”

For example, AEM often helps arrange for politicians to make stops on the factory floors of its member companies as a show of their encouragement and support.

In LeeBoy’s case, Seymour said that Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s current lieutenant governor and the Republican candidate for governor in November’s election, visited the Lincolnton plant in 2023. In addition, Pat Harrigan, a Republican running for the U.S. House to represent the state’s 10th congressional district, made a campaign stop at LeeBoy several months ago.

The manufacturing company has its origins in the Charlotte garage of LeeBoy’s late founder, B.R. Lee, who began making pavers there in 1964. Since then, the equipment maker has moved to a large, 33-acre production site in Lincolnton, northwest of Charlotte, where it produces a range of commercial paving equipment and machines, including pavers, motor graders, distributor trucks and brooms.

Over the past couple of years, Seymour said that LeeBoy also has introduced several new upgrades to its product lineup.

“The most notable improvements have been our electric products, which we brought out slightly more than a year ago,” he said. “Not only did we make the first commercial class electric asphalt paver, but we also introduced the first

electric broom. And LeeBoy is about to get back into distributing rollers. In fact, we have rollers available for order at the present time and will begin delivering them in January.”

Plans call for the equipment manufacturer to create a 1.25ton, 36-in.-wide roller, as well as a 3-ton model with a 48-in. width, and more models to come.

“LeeBoy will also begin selling and marketing soil rollers too, as well as rubber-tire machines,” he said. “This is a good opportunity for us because we believe LeeBoy is the only paver manufacturer that does not currently sell rollers. We did so up until a few years ago and are happy to re-start their distribution.”

The company has managed to remain among the market leaders in the commercial class paving equipment business, Seymour said, because LeeBoy has long realized “it is about connecting with and listening to our customers, understanding how they use the equipment, and constantly refining the equipment for more efficient usage.

“Quality and reliability are also an enormous factor – how we keep these pavers running for our customers,” he added.

“Uptime is everything for them.”

Seymour noted that LeeBoy’s nationwide distributor network is seen as being “the front line” in terms of contact with the end customers.

“The dealerships that have great service departments and rapidly react to any potential repair issues that arise in the field are the ones that make a difference in the marketplace,” he said.

For its part, LeeBoy itself has proven to be outstanding at supplying parts to its dealers overnight or as needed, something that the equipment maker has prioritized to improve efficiency, according to LeeBoy. With a warehouse built to be shared by both its production and parts departments, Seymour believes that LeeBoy has created an advantage for itself by having its entire operation under one roof.

“Let’s say we need a wiring harness for a 20-year-old machine. We just make it in this factory,” he said. “Or, if a weldment is required, we can run out to the weld cells and get that done quickly. That capability really helps us get service and parts needs turned around in a hurry.”  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2024 Construction Equipment Guide. All Rights Reserved.)

looking to get out of this,” Steenburgh said from his Nashville office. “Anything we do down there is not taking away from what we do up here. This gives us access to new forms of capital, and people that we don’t know now, so it’s really extending the importance of what we’re doing.”

On Aug. 16, Dennis Grady, interim CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches, announced on LinkedIn that the local economic impact of the graduate school campus project will be $500 million and require $100 million of annual spending from the university.

Funding, Program Offerings to Be Determined Steenburgh told the Vanderbilt student newspaper that the faculty is still in its early phases of thinking about the West Palm Beach campus, while adding that the project’s future is dependent on the university’s ability to raise funding for it.

The next step will be getting a group of faculty together to discuss the specific programs that the graduate school could offer, he noted.

“Everything is going to be governed out of [Nashville], so we’re going to have academic control over what happens.”

Steenburgh sees Vanderbilt’s embrace of “radical collaboration” as being a large part of what makes it special as a university.

“That’s the genesis of things — people with new points of view finding a new way of doing things,” he said. “Making sure that that remains strong here [in Nashville] is really important, so we’ll continue to build that too.” 

Takeuchi-US Hosts AEM Manufacturing Express in S.C. Takeuchi-US hosted the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Manufacturing Express national tour at its compact track loader production facility in Moore, S.C., on Aug. 27, 2024.

AEM recognized Takeuchi-US and its employees as industry leaders for their contributions to the local community and manufacturing industry. At the event, Takeuchi-US also celebrated the production of its 10,000th compact track loader, a TL12 model, at the Moore facility, which opened in September 2022.

Werk-Brau Golf Classic Supports Construction Angels

The event raised more than $100,000 to aid families of fallen construction workers in Ohio.

Neil Recker, Werk-Brau regional manager, was the master of ceremonies.

It was a great day for golf and networking at the second annual Werk-Brau Golf Classic to benefit Construction Angels held recently on the Scarlet Course at the Ohio State University Golf Club.

The event raised more than $100,000 to aid families of fallen construction workers in Ohio. The sold-out field of 36 foursomes included contractors across the state — from small operations to nationally known companies like Kokosing, Miller Brothers, George J.

Compatible with compact, mid-sized and full-sized excavators ranging from 4 to 20 metric tons, Blue Diamond excavator drum mulchers are built with high-quality components and steel to stand up to the harshest land clearing and mulching conditions.

The new lineup of excavator drum mulchers from Blue Diamond Attachments includes three models (heavy duty, extreme Duty and severe duty) with cutting widths ranging from 30 to 50 in.

Compatible with compact, mid-sized and full-sized excavators ranging from 4 to 20 metric tons, Blue Diamond excavator drum mulchers are built with high-quality components and steel to stand up to the harshest land clearing and mulching conditions.

Many components, including the frame, are made with high-strength structural steel, and the frame of each model has been reinforced for added rigidity and strength. Parts exposed to wear, like the skids and counterblades, are built from wear-resistant steel.

Counterblades on the heavy and extreme duty models are heat treated and reversible to double their life span. The severe duty model features rigid counterblades more suited for aggressive working conditions, according to the manufacturer.

Cutting capacities range from 4 to 7 in., and models are available to work with excavator auxiliary hydraulic flows from 9 to 45 gpm.

Blue Diamond Attachments has designed these mulchers with an adjustable input counterblade that can be brought closer or moved away from the rotor depending on the finish you want. The distance between the hammer and the counterblades also has been optimized to produce the best finish while ensuring optimal machine efficiency.

A manual gate/door is available on the heavy duty model, while the extreme duty and severe duty models feature a hydraulic gate/door.

Volvo Announces Plans to Launch Hydrogen-Powered Trucks Trucks that run on green hydrogen instead of fossil fuels provide one way to decarbonize transport. Hydrogen trucks will be especially suitable over longer distances and in regions where there is limited charging infrastructure, or time for, recharging of batteries.

Volvo will begin customer tests with trucks using hydrogen in combustion engines in 2026, and the trucks will be commercially available towards the end of this decade.

Already, testing in labs and in vehicles is ongoing. The hydrogen-powered combustion engine trucks will complement Volvo’s offering of other alternatives, such as battery electric trucks, fuel cell electric trucks and trucks that run on renewable fuels, like biogas and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil).

“Trucks where the traditional internal combustion engine remains but runs on hydrogen will have the same performance and reliability as our diesel trucks, but with the added benefit of potentially net zero CO2 emissions well-to-wheel. They will be a valuable complement to our battery electric trucks, which have been on the market for several years,” said Jan Hjelmgren, head of product management and quality, Volvo Trucks.

Volvo trucks with combustion engines powered by green hydrogen have the potential to deliver net zero CO2 well-to-wheel when using renewable HVO as ignition fuel and are categorized as “Zero Emission Vehicles” (ZEV) under the agreed new EU CO2 emission standards.

“It’s clear that several kinds of technology are needed to decarbonize heavy transport.

As a global truck manufacturer, we need to support our customers by offering a variety

Volvo will launch trucks with combustion engines that can run on green hydrogen. These trucks provide a significant step to decarbonize heavy transport.

of decarbonization solutions, and customers can choose their alternative based on transport assignment, available infrastructure and green energy prices,” said Hjelmgren.

Volvo trucks with hydrogen-powered combustion engines will feature High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI), a technology where a small amount of ignition fuel is injected with high pressure to enable compression ignition before hydrogen is added.

The advantages of this technology include higher energy efficiency with lower fuel

consumption, and increased engine power.

Volvo Group has signed an agreement with Westport Fuel Systems to establish a joint venture utilizing HPDI technology.

Facts • Hydrogen-powered Volvo trucks will have an operational range comparable to many diesel trucks, depending on the type of transport.

• Due to the low CO2 emissions from hydrogen combustion, these trucks are cate-

gorized as “Zero Emission Vehicles” under the agreed new EU CO2 emission standards.

• Hydrogen combustion engines will also emit very small amounts of nitrogen oxides and particles.

• Hydrogen also can be used to power fuel cell electric trucks, where electricity is produced on board the truck. Fuel cell electric trucks do not emit any tailpipe emissions, only water vapor.

Kubota Tractor Corporation Partners With Kansas Speedway for Kubota Tractor 200

LINDER TURF & TRACTOR www.lindertt.com

In addition to sponsoring the race and Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet and Rhodes’ No. 99 Ford F-150 at Kansas Speedway, Kubota also will be active in the Fan Zone with an equipment display and will have company representatives on-hand to discuss job openings at its Kansas facilities.

Kubota is partnering with Kansas Speedway for one of the most important races of the 2024 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series season.

Kansas Speedway announced that its NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race on Sept. 27, will be named the Kubota Tractor 200. It will serve as the final race in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoffs’ Round of 10, with two drivers eliminated from championship contention by the end of the night.

“We’re thrilled to have Kubota playing such an important role in one of the most pivotal races of the season,” said Kansas Speedway President Pat Warren.

“Their commitment to Kansas City, the state of Kansas and to NASCAR racing overall is incredible, and we’re excited to partner with them to make this an event to remember.”

Kubota Tractor Corporation is based in Grapevine, Texas, and has a significant Kansas presence with its Midwest Division office and North American Distribution Center in Edgerton, manufacturing and assembly facilities in Salina and Abilene, and 17 dealerships across the state. Nationwide, there are more than 1,000 authorized Kubota dealerships and additional manufacturing, administrative and distribution facilities, with more than 7,000 employees who fabricate, weld and assemble compact equipment with domestic and globally sourced parts.

Since 2022, Kubota has been embedded within the NASCAR community and currently serves as the Official Tractor Company and a primary sponsor of Trackhouse Racing and NASCAR Cup Series driver Ross Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet, and ThorSport Racing and defending NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series champion Ben Rhodes’ No. 99 Ford F-150.

In addition to sponsoring the race and Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet and Rhodes’ No. 99 Ford F-150 at Kansas Speedway next month, Kubota also will be active in the Fan Zone with an equipment display and will have company representatives onhand to discuss job openings at its Kansas facilities.

“Kansas is an important market for Kubota and we’re proud to partner with NASCAR and Kansas Speedway on this race in a region where so many of our employees, dealers, and customers call home,” said Todd Stucke, president, Kubota Tractor Corporation.

“We’re proud to continue investing in America, and particularly in Kansas, to respond to increased demand for our products — and to do that, we’re looking to fill more than 300 positions across our company to strengthen our operations nationwide.”

Kansas Speedway was the site of the closest NASCAR Cup Series finish in history in May when Kyle Larson edged Chris Buescher for the win in a photo finish for the ages.

That sets the stage for the Hollywood Casino 400 presented

by ESPN BET on Sept. 29, the opening race of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs’ Round of 12.

That race will cap an incredible weekend of racing at Kansas Speedway, featuring four races over three days. It begins Friday, Sept. 27, with a doubleheader featuring the Kubota Tractor 200 and the ARCA Menards Series’ Reese’s 150, and continues Saturday, Sept. 28, with the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Kansas Lottery 300. And then on Sunday, Sept. 29, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to the site of the closest finish in series history with the Hollywood Casino 400 presented by ESPN BET. Tickets for all seats are on sale and can be purchased at www.kansasspeedway.com. 

MB Crusher: Optimizing Your Washout Recycling Operation Discover how MB Crusher is transforming excess concrete washout with innovative attachments for the construction industry. Turn hardened concrete into recycled aggregates for your next project.

MB Crusher jaw crushers provide contractors and readymix plants with the capability to turn leftover concrete into another revenue source.

Challenges With Leftover Concrete Washout Ready-mix concrete is a pre-mixed concrete that is manufactured in a batching plant or factory and delivered to the construction site in a ready-to-use form.

Excess concrete can come from concrete waste from equipment, tools and machinery used in the construction process. As a result, piles of leftover concrete continue to mount onsite.

Companies must provide a safe and proper way to clean and dispose of excess concrete known as washout. Washout ensures the excess concrete is removed and disposed of properly to prevent environmental factors such as runoff to storm drain systems. However, companies are left with limited options to deal with concrete stockpiles onsite.

Without an efficient concrete washout recycling system, companies are wasting money and decreasing productivity.

MB Crusher helps contractors and ready-mix plants solve the problem of excess concrete by crushing and recycling hardened concrete onsite. Therefore, companies can use the recycled aggregate as backfill, materials for new construc-

tion projects or create an additional revenue source by selling the aggregate.

One customer received the equivalent of two years of leftover concrete washout returned to his plant. Instead of continuing to spend lots of money on transportation and crushing services, the company purchased an MB Crusher BF 80.3 crusher bucket. The company used the BF 80.3 crusher bucket to transform their excavator into a mobile recycling center on site by crushing the leftover stockpile of concrete as The MB-L160 crusher bucket can be utilized in multiple locations recycled aggregate. allowing companies to move the attachment from plant-to-plant.

MB Crusher attachments are easy to mobi-

lize and fast setup on site. In fact, all MB Crusher attachments can be operated by a single person on any brand of heavy equipment, according to the company.

The MB-L160 crusher bucket can be utilized in multiple locations allowing companies to move the attachment from plant-to-plant.

Now, contractors and ready-mix plants can quickly and frequently crush concrete washout, as well as avoiding expensive transportation and service fees, and increasing profit margins from recycled aggregate sales.

FAE Updates Its Top Tracked Carrier, Introduces PT550 FAE has completely updated its top tracked carrier, introducing the PT550 to replace the PT475.

The PT550 is the FAE tracked carrier for big challenges, ideal for major jobs in large, wooded areas and along oil and gas pipelines.

Capable of working on large areas of soft, uneven or swampy ground, this vehicle can handle longitudinal slopes up to 45 degrees and transverse slopes up to 32 degrees. All this due to a low ground pressure of 13 psi.

This new vehicle has many updated features, from design changes to technological upgrades, starting with the completely redesigned cab for added operator comfort and safety. The PT550’s Cat. 2 ROPS/FOPS/OPS approved cab has a new configuration and an integrated cabin pressurization system, an industry benchmark.

Other improvements for added operator comfort and productivity include large Lexan glass windows, ergonomic joysticks, a pneumatic seat, a large 10 in. touch screen display to control all operating functions, a 360-degree camera system and display, and a heated and refrigerated compartment with cup holder.

The Caterpillar C13B six-cylinder engine in the FAE PT550 guarantees strength, reli-

ability and global support.

Tyler Equipment Earns SENNEBOGEN Dealer Award AWARDS from page 48

SENNEBOGEN machines are purpose-built, he has technicians and service vehicles that have also been “purpose-built” with factory training and stocked with UPtime Kits and all the special tools they might need to service a SENNEBOGEN material handler.

Chad Stracener, from Tractor & Equipment Company of Alabama, the second runner-up (and the 2023 Tree Care Dealer of the Year) also talked about their service trucks, and factory-trained technicians that are out there every day meeting the needs of their customers while continuing to build customer trust and confidence. As well, he recounted that TEC continues to invest in inventory and an inventory delivery system that ensures continuous uptime and machine availability.

At the meeting, Tyler and Stracener both agreed with the sentiment from Casselli: “Our customers know that they are buying the best product on the market, but in return, they have high expectations for machine uptime.”

They all agreed that as distributors, they take this responsibility seriously and each of them have invested heavily in parts inventories and technician training at the SENNEBOGEN Training Center.

They also agreed that a good salesman will sell the

first piece of equipment, but it is the impact of the parts and service people that keeps them coming back.

Envimat, as the company name says, addresses their two main areas of interest: environment and material handling.

Initially, Envimat was well known in the forestry industry and made its mark there. However, based on that history, Casselli brought in steel, scrap and recycling market specialists.

“We hired these individuals because they know the business of our customers and understand the challenges they face every day,” Casselli said.

“Our sales teams are well versed with the SENNEBOGEN product line but our specialists bring something new to each situation. We know what the customers want and we see it as part of our job to be their equipment partner and help the customer be more profitable. They can do that when we have earned their trust and we work with them to choose the right machines with the right attachment for their operations and applications.”

Casselli went on to say that some of his best salespeople are his customers. When asking one of his customers if he can bring in someone to see their SENNEBOGEN working in their yard, they always say, “Yes, of course. But you’re not allowed to come. Stay home. We’ll have a good conversation,” and they do.

He says they tell them all about the machines but most importantly, they tell them about our service fleet, parts inventory and our factory trained mechanics.

“We’re very proud of our relationship with our customers. We are also very excited that we are bringing five customer technicians this fall to the SENNEBOGEN Training Center for free factory training that will be done in Spanish.”

One of the things that his customers really like is the simplicity of the SENNEBOGEN material handlers.

The off-the-shelf componentry as well as the fact that they are hydraulic over hydraulics versus machines that use proprietary parts and are electronic over hydraulics.

That combination, in the environment that they work in, makes them much more prone to failure and downtime due to the electronic componentry that controls the machines, the company said.

Casselli added that the success of Envimat is also due to the support it gets from SENNEBOGEN America and its president, Constantino Lannes. He said the SENNEBOGEN team is there every month and works with new customers to maximize their investment.

“Constantino is also here regularly, and we are working with him all the time. He is so knowledgeable. Our customers love to talk with him especially as he speaks their business language but is also fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.”

When asked if he felt that a “Threepeat” was possible for next year, he indicated that he had a great deal of respect for the other dealers across North America but he will continue to work Plan B to make sure Plan A is successful.”  CEG (All photos courtesy of SENNEBOGEN.)

NSSGA Receives $9.6M EPA Grant to Advance Aggregates Sustainability The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) has been awarded a five-year, $9.65 million grant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

With the EPA grant funding and support, NSSGA aims to provide the aggregates industry with essential resources to: robustly produce and release Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs); establish guidelines on best management practices for reducing CO2 emissions; and enhance the industry’s capacity to sequester CO2.

“Thank you to the EPA and their staff for this important funding. We look forward to working together to enhance the transparency and availability of environmental impact data within the aggregates industry,” said Michael Johnson, president and CEO of NSSGA. “The unwavering support from our members, industry partners and 23 state associations has been instrumen-

tal in securing this grant and will be crucial, as we move forward to accomplish the initiatives. This builds on our industry’s robust efforts to be a leader in the carbon solution, as we continually protect the environment and sustainably produce critically needed materials.”

Over the next five years, NSSGA will engage its partners to create, train and promote resources, as the industry continues to be a beacon of sustainability. Key initiatives will include: • NSSGA to Become Program Operator for Aggregates Industry PCR and EPD: NSSGA will have full-time staff to administer the program, facilitating more robust updates and ensuring comprehensive oversight.

• Access to Digital Tools and Solutions: Providing the aggregates industry with robust tools to transparently report the environmental impacts of their products.

• Comprehensive Training

Programs: In collaboration with state associations, universities and other partners, equipping industry professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement sustainable practices, perform life cycle assessments and produce EPDs. • Best Management Practices for CO2 Reduction and Sequestration: Establishing and promoting guidelines that help the industry reduce its carbon footprint and also enhance its ability to sequester CO2 effectively.

The production of aggregates is an inherently low-carbon process, and member operations utilize various measures to reduce their energy use and carbon footprint. This grant initiative follows the successful application submitted by NSSGA. With this opportunity, NSSGA continues to lead the way in promoting sustainability within the aggregate industry.

AGC’s ‘Culture of Care’ Program Helps Retain Workers

Adobe Stock photo

Though construction contractors are still having a tough time, finding and keeping qualified workers, they aren’t sleeping on the job.

WORKERS from page 1

In analyzing survey results, the association said the fed’s policies mean it costs more, takes longer and is less certain if a project will start on time.

However, the association outlined a range of steps construction firms are taking to build new workforce development partnerships.

“So too are AGC of America and its network of 89 chapters working to address workforce shortages,” said Jeff Shoaf, CEO of the AGC. The group has partnered with member chapters to run more than a dozen targeted digital advertising campaigns designed to reach and recruit new workers.

Shoaf said they’ve created and shared recruiting resources, including a template recruiting website for chapters.

“Our Culture of Care program … available to the entire industry … is designed to help firms retain workers by teaching them how to create more welcoming and inclusive job sites.”

And, he said, “we regularly host virtual and in-person gatherings to share workforce development success stories and encourage their replication.”

Association chapters run a host of training and recruiting programs as well, partnering with local school districts to create new construction academies.

Pre-apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship programs have been built through a network of career and technical education teachers.

And members host dozens of construction career fairs each year, among many other

workforce efforts.

Nitty Gritty of Workforce Issues Shoaf is confident federal workforce policies will make a meaningful and lasting difference for the better for the nation’s construction workforce.

There is no denying that contractors are even more challenged to fill open positions this year than they were in 2023.

The AGC-Arcoro survey found that 94 percent of respondents reported having open positions for craft workers. In 2023 that number was 85 percent.

Likewise, for 79 percent, openings for salaried positions are plentiful. That compares to 69 percent a year ago.

The AGC reports that among those firms, 94 percent face challenges filling craft positions and 92 percent report difficulty in filling salaried openings.

“Nearly all craft positions are hard to fill,” noted the survey analysis. More than 60 percent of firms find difficulty filling craft trade positions.

AGC noted hiring mechanics and cement masons was the biggest challenge; 83 percent of firms that employ either occupation say workers are hard to find.

The most-mentioned hard-to-fill salaried position is superintendents, listed by 83 percent of the firms seeking those workers.

Project managers/supervisors are listed by 81 percent of firms and estimating personnel by 78 percent, according to the AGC survey.

Finally AI personnel/specialist, currently the least-mentioned salaried position, is rated hard to fill by 30 percent of firms.

“The candidates are mostly there, they just aren’t qualified to work,” said the AGC. In fact, 62 percent of respondents reported that available candidates are not qualified to work in the industry for reasons such as a lack of skills.

Half reported that some new hires fail to show up or quit shortly after starting.

And 43 percent said potential employees lack required credentials, such as a driver’s license, work permit or clean background check.

Meanwhile, 37 percent list candidates’ failure to pass a drug test as a disqualifying factor. That is up from 33 percent in the 2023 survey. And 23 percent said potential employees list difficulty acquiring reliable transportation to and from a job site as a factor.

It’s notable that 22 percent stated some candidates report needing flexible work schedules or an option for remote work.

Despite all of the hardships in hiring qualified workers for the long haul, companies report trying innovative approaches to meet the needs of good workers.

Not Waiting Around for Fed The AGC survey found that 61 percent, more than half of responding companies, raised base pay for hourly craft workers even further than they had a year earlier.

And 42 percent initiated or increased spending on training and professional development in the past year.

“The industry is also looking to technological solutions to help overcome workforce shortages,” said the AGC. In fact, one out of four firms has increased the use of learning programs with a strong

online or video component, such as holding classes using Teams or Zoom.

“Contractors have mixed expectations regarding the impact of technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence [AI] on construction jobs,” AGC said.

A majority believes these technologies will positively impact jobs by automating errorprone tasks or improving job quality and making workers safer and more productive.

“But a third of respondents expects no effect on construction jobs and 10 percent believe the impact … will be negative, by eliminating jobs,” said AGC. No one’s giving up, either. The survey found many are going where the workers are, starting with social media and targeted digital advertising.

The AGC reports that 57 percent of responding firms added online strategies to connect better with younger applicants.

Approximately half engaged with a careerbuilding program, at high schools, colleges or career and technical education programs.

Some 28 percent of firms used an executive search firm or professional employer organization. And 23 percent report using the services of a craft staffing firm or engaging with a government workforce development or unemployment agency.

A fifth of firms added or increased the use of sub- or specialty contractors or implemented software to distribute job postings and manage applications. Just 7 percent applied for employment-based visas, such as H-1B or H-2B. Those open-shop and union contractors using these visas was the same in 2023. see WORKERS page 78

Raleigh Beltline Has Been Under Construction for Five Years

Lane Construction photo

For almost half a decade, construction crews have been working on the $475 million effort known as the Blue Ridge I-440 Improvement project, taking place on the interstate between just south of Walnut Street in Cary and north of Wade Avenue.

BELTLINE from page 1

Lane Construction photo

For Blue Ridge/Hillsborough, utility relocations and construction of the connector road from Blue Ridge to Hillsborough have been completed, along with initial railroad construction and initial structure work.

Lane Construction photo

The goal of Lane Construction Corporation, general contractor of the project, is to have the work completed by the end of 2025.

with Hillsborough Street, Beryl Road and the railroad tracks frequented by both drivers and pedestrians accessing the state fairgrounds, sporting events at PNC Arena and CarterFinley Stadium and other nearby destinations.

Winkler explained the work, which is needed to improve access and efficiency along the roadway, is going well.

“For this project, we have completed seven of the 12 structures. We are working toward completing the remaining ones. All major storm drainage is complete. The diverging diamond at Western Boulevard and the Wade Avenue interchanges is close to its final patterns.

“For the Blue Ridge/Hillsborough portion of the project, we are currently constructing the foundations for the future railroad structures over Blue Ridge Road. This will persist throughout the year. We are also constructing the southern and northern sections of Blue Ridge Road on either side of the railroad structures.”

For the I-440 portion of the project, crews are currently constructing the eastbound travel lanes from I-40 to Western Boulevard, building the I-440 east bound structure over Western Boulevard and transitioning the Wade Avenue interchange into its more permanent pattern.

During Blue Ridge/Hillsborough Street construction, two lanes of traffic are being maintained north of the closure.

Motorists are using the signed detour, as well as other known routes, to navigate through the area. Blue Ridge Road is still closed on either side of the railroad tracks just south of Hillsborough Street.

For I-440 construction, two lanes of traffic in each direction are open, with more travel lanes coming. There are detours in place to perform the work, and traffic is being maintained.

Winkler noted the multi-year undertaking has had its share of issues.

“ROW challenges, railroad coordination and major utility challenges have had an impact on the project. All have been addressed, and we are moving forward with construction.”

Regarding Blue Ridge/Hillsborough Street construction, railroad structure work is currently being pursued, as well as grading work to lower Blue Ridge Road to its final elevation.

For I-440, remaining structures work continues, as well as grading work.

For Blue Ridge/Hillsborough, utility relocations and construction of the connector road from Blue Ridge to Hillsborough have been completed, along with initial railroad construction and initial structure work. Structures, grading, paving, drainage and retaining wall work remain.

For I-440, most of the major structure work is done. Major work along westbound I-440 is finished, along with significant work at the various interchanges. Grading, paving, drainage and structures remain.

In total, crews have moved roughly 345,000 cu. yds. of material on the project. Heavy machinery being used includes excavators, bulldozers, hauling trucks, paving equipment, drill rigs, cranes, pump trucks and other construction equipment.

The most time-consuming part of the work involves maintaining existing traffic patterns, while moving construction forward.

Regarding road closures, said Winkler, “For both projects, at first it took motorists some time to learn the detours, but now it appears most have found their way around the work areas. For U-4437, we have reopened Hillsborough Street in the past six months, allowing traffic to utilize it.

“This project itself is unique with the various aspects of rail and roadway construction. For this and all others there are challenges that come up, but the biggest part is overcoming those challenges to complete them.”

The goal of Lane Construction Corporation, general contractor of the project, is to have the work completed by the end of 2025.

“The main challenge is weather cooperating when we’re getting traffic shifted and completing the work in a timely manner while keeping in mind stakeholder needs,” said Winkler.

It’s a long process, but Winkler believes the time invested is well spent.

“This corridor is a vital portion of our roadway network.

Eliminating the bottleneck and upgrading the interchanges has major benefits for improving safety and reducing congestion.”  CEG

AUSA Acquisition Complete, Now Part of JLG Industries JLG Industries Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business and a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, announced that Oshkosh has completed the acquisition of AUSACORP S.L. (AUSA), adding the market-leading brand’s compact allterrain machines for the transportation and material han-

dling to the company’s Access segment.

Following the acquisition of Hinowa in 2023, the AUSA acquisition further supports the Oshkosh accelerated growth strategy and strengthens the JLG equipment portfolio.

Established in 1956, AUSA specializes in designing, manufacturing and selling wheeled dumpers, rough terrain JLG photo

The AUSA acquisition further supports the Oshkosh accelerated growth strategy and strengthens the JLG equipment portfolio.

forklifts and compact telehandlers for the residential, civil and road construction industry and the transportation and handling of industrial and agricultural materials. The acquisition included AUSA’s 250,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility in Barcelona, Spain, approximately 350 team members and access to 200 equipment dealers worldwide.

“AUSA’s culture of innovation and quality matches the same standards we hold,” said Mahesh Narang, president, JLG, “and our shared core values around safety, productivity and sustainability position us well for the future.

Together, we will work diligently, as both companies always have, to meet the needs of our customers.”

JLG and AUSA have collaborated since 2020, bringing the SkyTrak 3013 to market together. With the acquisition, AUSA products will enhance JLG’s line of telehandlers and complement Hinowa’s line of tracked dumpers and forklifts. Both acquisitions help accelerate JLG’s growth into the specialty equipment, agriculture and landscaping markets while providing its construction and materials handling customers with an even broader array of products — all backed by JLG’s robust training, support and service infrastructure.

“Our combined capabilities, market leadership positions and complementary product offerings provide a more comprehensive solution to address market needs, expand our operational footprint and unlock growth opportunities worldwide,” said Narang. “The acquisitions of AUSA and Hinowa help JLG create an organization that can better serve customers globally.”
