Hundreds of dealer representatives and customers from coast-to-coast and a few international dealers converged on the U.S. headquarters of FAE USA Inc. in Flowery Branch, Ga., for a massive open house event on Oct. 6.

Machine and attachment displays of virtually all of FAE’s products were exhibited, and FAE product managers and management were on hand to provide their expertise on the line. Giorgio Carera, FAE USA Inc. CEO, provided an update on the latest marketplace news and trends and product manager, and Lee Smith unveiled and gave a brief presentation of the all-new FAE RCU-55 and RCU-75 remote control mulchers. Attendees had the opportunity to be the first in the United States to operate them.

Keynote speakers included AED’s Vice-President Jon Cruthers and Mossy Oak’s Bobby Cole and Gregory Sugg. Outstanding live music came from country music star Lance Stinson and celebrity guest singer Edwin McCain, who also is an FAE spokesman and customer.

A terrific selection of catered food and deserts were served at lunch time. Midafternoon and beyond meant cocktail and networking time. An array of prizes and exclusive giveaways were presented, including the grand prize of an all-expense paid trip to ConExpo 2023 in Las Vegas, including airfare, hotel and show ticket, which was won by Amanda Campos of L&S Land Clearing and Rock Milling, Boerne, Texas. 

High reach excavators use shears and demolition processors to make exact cuts when demolishing structures.

Unique Advantages of High Reach Excavators for Demolition Projects

In a world where safety and precision reign supreme, cranes and wrecking balls are things of the past. High reach excavators have taken up the mantle as the go-to machine for demolition projects due to three unique advantages. Fast Assembly

A converted high reach excavator engineered by C.W. Machine Worx can be assembled in two hours without assistance from additional equipment. These converted high reach excavators also only require one operator to attach their fronts. The operator can align the converted excavator’s stub front with the high reach front directly from the shipping truck. Once aligned, hydraulic pins from the modular joint attach the stub front to the high reach front and the machine is ready to operate.

“We refer to our converted high reach excavators as ‘selferecting machines’ because they put themselves together,” Company Wrench Fleet Product Support Trainer Ben Dowdy said.

“They use custom counterweights that can be both removed and placed on the carrier by the excavator itself. Other pieces of equipment are usually required to assemble machines of this size, but not with our converted high reach excavators.”

Precision

High reach excavators use shears and demolition processors to make exact cuts when demolishing structures. These materials fall from the structure in a contained area, making high reach excavators the ideal machine for highly populated, dense areas, according to the manufacturer.

This level of control becomes even greater when operators use a telescopic boom instead of a two or three-piece boom. With the simple press of a button, operators can raise or lower the telescopic boom to make precise cuts across multiple working ranges. Two and three-piece booms require operators to add or remove sections of the boom to change working ranges.

“The learning curve for an operator is much easier with a telescopic boom,” Dowdy said. “When using a telescopic boom, you only have to worry about your boom and stick functions, like with a standard excavator. Three-piece booms feature a jib or mid-link function that allows the stick to bend up or down. This function is independent of the boom and stick functions so it adds another element to consider for operators. Ultimately, the decision between a telescopic boom and three-piece boom comes down to preference and working ranges.” Industry Specific Features

The following high reach excavator designs can be installed to make the life of a demolition contractor easier: • Tilted Cab — The cab tilts up to 45 degrees for increased operator visibility and comfort. • Cab Interference Systems — This keeps the attachment from contacting the machine by slowing hydraulics when the operator reaches an unsafe working angle. • Interchangeable Fronts — Converted high reach excavators are capable of using high reach fronts, long reach fronts, and standard fronts. This allows a single excavator to perform projects that normally require multiple machines.

Company Wrench offers factory-built high reach excavators from Kobelco and converted high reach excavators from C.W. Machine Worx.

Epiroc Launches 24/7 Self-Service Videos to Maximize Uptime

Epiroc, a productivity partner for the mining and infrastructure industries, is launching a 24/7 self-service video series designed to help operators and service technicians maximize their uptime of Epiroc equipment.

The instructional how-to videos bring Epiroc’s extensive machine and application knowledge right to customers’ fingertips on their web or mobile devices. This allows the operators and service technicians to be as safe and efficient as possible.

The new 24/7 video series addresses the needs of many customers who prefer to have quick and easy access to information that would help them take care of their mining and construction equipment anytime, anywhere, to keep the production running smoothly.

With the 24/7 self-service videos, Epiroc simplifies the troubleshooting, maintenance and repair process for customers who prefer to complete their own routine maintenance and minor repairs on Epiroc equipment in their fleet. The videos include answers to frequently asked questions and feature experienced Epiroc Product Experts who walk through step-by-step instructions and recommend parts and tooling for completing specific service work and a range of common repairs on various Epiroc machines.

“Customers’ productivity is our top priority,” said Floris Timmers, business line manager of the parts and services division at Epiroc USA. “When it comes to heavy equipment in the mining and construction industries, time is money. Having just one machine down can bring an entire job site to a standstill, but there’s no need to wait for help on typical repairs. Sometimes it’s possible to do the troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance yourself so you can get up and running as quickly as possible. That’s why we offer our 24/7 self-service videos.”

The self-service videos are available 24 hours, 7 days a week so operators and service technicians can access the information they need, right when they need it. In addition, each video is closed captioned, so if conditions don't allow for the users to hear clearly, they can still utilize the videos to help resolve their issue.

“Epiroc considers these videos to be an integral part of customer service,” said Jon Torpy, president and general manager Epiroc USA. “Our customer support team is realizing the impact that instructional videos can have in building customer relationships by offering assistance with a personal touch. Many times, it is quicker, easier and more convenient for an operator or service technician to watch a video explaining how they can solve their equipment issue than it is to figure it out through phone calls or texts.”

Epiroc USA currently has 50 instructional videos in its online library, which cover a variety of topics related to troubleshooting, maintenance issues and repairs, including troubleshooting sensor failure, winterizing, pre-walk inspection, e-stop and more. The series focuses on the SmartROC D65, D60, D55 and PowerROC T45, T35, with plans to expand to all equipment offerings, including other rock excavation and drilling equipment, hydraulic attachments, underground machinery, tools for surface and underground applications, and automation technology solutions.

Epiroc’s 24/7 self-service videos can be found at 247selfservice.epirocmarketplace.com/ and on Epiroc’s YouTube channel. 
