CaterpillarIndustrySalesRepresentativePromotesDiversity

By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT

When Yuliya Maslava, industry sales representative of Caterpillar, talks about diversity and inclusion, she’s not merely echoing company values. She’s the embodiment of these beliefs she and her employer share.

“I see more diversity and inclusion at Caterpillar,” she said while acknowledging that construction is largely “still a white male-dominated industry.”

Having been surrounded by multiple ethnicities and cultures while in college and when she lived in Chicago, Maslava said she “would like to see more at Caterpillar.”

She knows her presence counts — she is a woman and an immigrant. She promotes diversity by participating in recruitment panels and virtual job fairs. She believes it’s helpful for others to see women in positions like hers. She also believes it’s beneficial to “learn from people with unconventional career paths.”

Footsteps to Follow

Born in a small town in Belarus, Maslava grew up with her single mother, who worked for 42 years as an engineer for a manufacturer of off-highway trucks. She visited her mother’s workplace on “bring your kid to work day,” where she witnessed how equipment is made.

“I grew up around equipment,” she said, adding, “but I never thought I’d be around heavy equipment as a career.”

While attending college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and working in a restaurant, where she said she “honed my communication skills,” Maslava was invited to interview with Caterpillar. She took on the opportunity and truly connected with the people at the company, which prompted her to accept the position she was offered.

Two years later, after going through Caterpillar’s Marketing Training Program, which she describes as “a crash course covering all divisions, designed to create a wellrounded employee,” Maslava is still in her position. Still learning. Still encouraging other women.

Sales Support

Maslava is quick to clear up a common misconception about her position as industry sales representative.

“I don’t sell the equipment; the dealer does that,” she said. Instead, she describes her job as a “sales support consultant — a bridge between the manufacturer and the dealer.”

She considers it a partnership, with her role to deliver answers about availability, pricing, special configurations, training opportunities, and helping the dealer excel at their business.

“Caterpillar does a good job of training,” she said. “They invest in us.”

Part of that training includes “a lot of opportunities to operate the equipment: dozers, excavators, loaders,” she said.

Maslava has had her turn on all of them. Acknowledging that she’s not an expert equipment operator, she believes having that first-hand experience enables her to understand the equipment better. She finds it helpful when she meets with customers.

In addition, she said, “I love to hop in a car with a dealer salesman for a ride-along to learn their territory and meet with the customers.”

This allows her to hear questions directly from the customer, learn about their business and hear their feedback

first-hand. If their issues are technical, she defers to the application specialists.

“That’s what gives our customers value: the value of our dealer network, expert knowledge, training, support and resources.”

Maslava said she is always very appreciative when the customers take the time out of their busy day to meet.

“I enjoy learning more about their business — how they started and how they got to where they are now. There is nothing more important than our customers, each of them with their own unique success story.”

Maslava prioritizes attending all customer events in person to establish long-lasting relationships.

“It’s easy to get buried in administrative work, but I try to prioritize personal interaction. Every three years, the dealers get a new rep; my goal is to make an impact — to leave a legacy as being helpful, responsive and present.”

Changes Coming

She currently provides sales support for three Caterpillar dealers in the Carolinas, but job rotations last just two to three years before reassignment to a new territory, so Maslava anticipates a move. She said she wouldn’t mind moving to the opposite coast or the Pacific Northwest to understand the industry in that part of the country, but also would gladly take on the international assignment. She lists Canada, Europe or Singapore as desirable locations on her list.

Maslava enjoys the flexibility of the job.

“I’m always on the road and I make my own schedule,” she said, adding, “It is not a traditional 9-5 office job.”

When asked about where she sees herself in the future, she said “Caterpillar is so big; there are a lot of jobs. It’s a global Fortune 100 company. There are infinite possibilities and room to explore career paths.”

One day, she envisions moving into management — maybe becoming a territory manager overseeing a team of

Gains Made

For now, Maslava said her mother is her anchor. She taught her the value of commitment and perseverance.

Both mother and daughter are used to being the only woman in the room. However, there are more women in the room today. Maslava said there are 21 sales representatives on the North American team, eight of whom are women. That adds up to approximately 40 percent.

“There are more women in this role at Caterpillar now. There were only three when I started two years ago. That’s a huge change. It warms my heart as it has historically been a male role.”

In the future, she hopes to see more and more women taking on previously male-dominated roles, and she thinks that can happen if women like her continue to pave the way. She regularly attends “Women in Construction Industries” meetings where she connects with others for mentoring and networking opportunities.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity to meet more women in the organization and learn more about their personal and professional paths,” she said.They gather to share best practices, listen to guest speakers, discuss their challenges and celebrate each other’s successes.

The construction industry’s future is full of exciting opportunities, Maslava said.

“Electrification is a huge next step, and I can’t wait to see how the heavy equipment industry will change in the next 10-15 years as it adapts to the new energy sources and stricter environmental regulations.”

With “women supporting women instead of competing,” she predicts that women will play important roles in implementing changes in response to this evolving industry, and she intends to play her part in advancing the heavy equipment business, the construction industry and her gender’s place in both.

sales and tech reps. “I’d like to lead people.”

ConExpoHelpsShowWhereConstructionIndustryIsGoing

As ConExpo-Con/AGG continues to draw near, Stephen Roy, president, Region North America, at AEM member company Volvo Construction Equipment, discussed his thoughts on the show and the direction of the construction equipment industry.

Roy discussed what attendees and fellow exhibitors can expect from Volvo at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023, what he looks forward to most about the upcoming edition of the show, and why it’s so important for equipment manufacturers to make their presence known to construction industry professionals in attendance this coming spring in Las Vegas.

We’re just a few short months away from ConExpo-Con/AGG, and it’s been almost three years since the construction industry came together in Las Vegas for the show. With that in mind, what are you personally looking forward to most about the 2023 edition?

Roy: For me, it’s really being able to highlight where Volvo is and where we’re at in our journey during a time that has been transformative in our industry. ConExpoCon/AGG offers us a chance to showcase what we have, gather feedback from our customers and engage our industry partners.

To really make a show like ConExpoCon/AGG work, the face-to-face aspect of it is so important. I think that’s why Las Vegas is the perfect venue for it. It attracts so many people, and with all the changes we’re seeing in our industry, I think it’ll be the perfect environment for people to find the latest and greatest innovations, as well as learn what will help their business succeed.

What does it mean for Volvo to be a part of the largest trade show in North America? And along those same lines, what should people expect to see from Volvo this coming year?

Roy: At Volvo we consider ourselves a change agent in this industry. Our theme is actually “Change starts here. Be ready for it.” So, for us at Volvo, we want to be at ConExpoCon/AGG to help illustrate where we see the industry going and how we are preparing our customers to be ready for it.

We’re not alone in this, but some of things we will showcase at the show will really highlight how Volvo is driving a focus on sustainable power and automation, and how we can help our customers be more productive, more efficient and more successful in their efforts to serve their own customers.

We always say our goal is to make cus-

tomers successful with their customers, so that’s the approach we’re taking. More specifically, we’ll have a mix of existing product, product that’s coming out soon and some forward-looking product that — like I mentioned before — will illustrate where the industry is going.That means a focus on sustainability, using electric machines and other sustainable power. We’ll showcase small compact electric equipment, all the way to larger equipment that has a mix of electric and diesel.

One thing that’s extremely important for us, and an area of focus for Volvo, centers on solutions for our machines. There’s no doubting the value and importance of the machines themselves. However, to maximize productivity and uptime, it takes the right solutions. So, at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023, we’re going to showcase a lot of telematics platforms, a lot of productivity platforms, as well as machine controls — solutions, to increase productivity and uptime.

ensure attendees at shows like ConExpoCon/AGG get the most out of their time spent with your organization?

Roy: We’re very focused on making events and exhibitions like ConExpoCon/AGG a really valuable experience, so when our attendees are in the booth, they have access to the right information and the right experts who can answer their questions — and we want them to have fun in our booth too.

However, we don’t want to forget all those folks who won’t be able to be with us in Las Vegas this coming March.And, while there’s every reason to expect the show to welcome another record-breaking crowd, we’re also aware there are probably just as many people who are interested in what’s taking place in Las Vegas, but they aren’t able to travel there. So, we’re really focused on offering a valuable virtual experience as well.

We know for sure that we’ll have a lot of folks from the construction industry at the show in Las Vegas. But there are still plenty of people who are considering it and making that decision at this point. If you could provide a piece of advice or a thought for them to consider, what would you say?

Roy: This show is once every three years. The technology shifts since the 2020 show are quite significant. And I think being there faceto-face helps secure a true sense of where the industry is going. Additionally, as an OEM, we want feedback from our customers, too. We want to hear what they struggle with and how can we support them as we continue to develop leadingedge machinery, but also solutions that will support their fleet and their job operations.

ConExpo-Con/AGG every three years? Why is it so important for companies to make their presence known at this particular show?

Roy: I think there are a couple of major reasons why. For me, I think it’s a great time to see customers in one place, reconnect with customers and talk about the business at hand, as well as how we can support them. But it’s also for OEMs to reach new customers and new customer segments.

The construction equipment industry is quite diverse. We’re seeing customers and applications today that maybe we weren’t talking to in the past — especially with the introduction of zero-emission, low-noise electric machines — so it’s exciting for us to pursue some of these new and valuable opportunities.

It’s a really exciting time to be in the construction industry, as well as the equipment industry serving construction customers. With that in mind, as you look forward to this show and even beyond, what industry trends are you excited about in the future, and what trends do you think are going to be on display or showcased at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023?

Roy: First and foremost, I think our customers are looking to make sure they become more efficient, more sustainable, and how they can support their customers. I think that you’ll see that when it comes to electrification, we’ll have discussions around autonomous and teleoperations machines as labor continues to get tight.And we’ll continue to focus on how to improve safety, productivity and uptime for our machines. Those are things customers today say consistently are important and will be more important in the future.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Roy: One thing we’re very excited about is having our Gold Rush stars with us at ConExpo-Con/AGG, and it’s really exiting that we’ll have an electric-powered rallycross car that’s part of the FIA World Rallycross racing organization, right now in Europe, but making its way across the globe soon.

You’ve mentioned Volvo will have a lot in store for folks that stop by and visit your booth at the show. We’ve seen industry exhibitions and events continue to evolve, change and even grow over time. In what ways has Volvo responded to

Turning that question on its head a little bit, we know it’s important for attendees to be there, but on the exhibitor side of things, what do you think the value proposition is for those who decide to make such an investment in exhibiting at

And then, on behalf of my fellow colleagues at Volvo, I just want to say ConExpo-Con/AGG is our time as an industry to show where the construction equipment is going and the changes that are coming, as well as an opportunity for equipment manufacturers who support to the show to be recognized for their efforts in driving transformational change within the construction industry.

For more information, visit www.conexpoconagg.com.

SEACOR Utilizes Konecranes to Efficiently Handle Cargo

SEACOR Island Lines LLC provides shipping solutions between Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. Its fleet of nine specialized vessels provides unique cargo transportation and logistics solutions.

To handle the variety of cargo — ranging from pallets and containers to heavy machinery — the firm utilizes a Konecranes SMV 16-1200 C forklift that has a 36,000-lb. capacity and a Konecranes SMV 32-1200 C forklift that has a 72,000-lb. capacity.

“We call our smaller machine Baby Blue and the other machine Big Blue,” said Bill Peters, director of maintenance of SEACOR Island Lines. “We primarily utilize Big Blue at our terminal to handle our unusual cargo and Baby Blue handles a variety of lighter material in our yard. So far, they’ve

been reliable machines, which is essential for us.”

The SMV 16-1200 C forklift is a recent addition to SEACOR Island Lines’fleet.

“Our operators run the machine 24/7,” stated Peters. “Inside the cab is like flying an airplane with all the technology available. You’ve got air conditioning, power steering and joystick controls that put all the switches at your fingertips.

“Whatever we need Baby Blue to do, it does — without any problems,” continued Peters. “It’s snug quarters in the yard, and the machine’s tight turning radius allows us to get in and out of locations without additional equipment. Great visibility from the cab allows the operator to see what’s going on around them at any time, keeping them and every-

one else safer. Ultimately, the machine saves us time and money.”

The SMV 32-1200 C is an efficient alternative for moving heavier cargo without a crane.

“If we’re shipping a small dozer and need to put it on a flat rack, instead of bringing out a crane, Big Blue can scoop it and place it quickly,” explained Peters. “The machine is stable and has excellent power and lifting capacity without sacrificing maneuverability or fuel efficiency. If we can’t pick something up with a top pick, Big Blue handles it.”

Peters worked closely with Linder Industrial Machinery Company sales representative Carlos E. Gomez to find the right Konecranes machines. Peters notes that the support from Linder after adding the equipment played an important role in their purchasing decision.

“OurKonecranesmachinescomewithagreatservicerep resentative and a serviceability record that can’t be beat,” noted Peters. “We received regular updates through Linder from the time we ordered the SMV 16 to the time it was delivered. Once the machine arrived, Linder sent out their forklift techs to follow up with our operators and make sure they were comfortable with the machine’s capabilities.

“If I have any questions about either machine, I know I can call Carlos, and he’ll get me an answer,” continued Peters. “We’ve had virtually no problems with either machine, and if there is something minor that comes up, Linder sends out a tech the same day with the part we need. It’s evident in the support that Linder provides that they believe in the quality of the machines as much as we’ve seen that quality save us money on the bottom line.”

DisrepairLeadstoImplosionofHistoricMiamiBeachHotel

The emblematic Deauville Beach Resort inMiamiBeachwasdemolishedonNov.13 as crowds of onlookers witnessed the fall of the seaside hotel that once hosted icons of music such as The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and Tony Bennett.

Demolition experts successfully implod ed the historic 17-story Deauville tower just after 8 o’clock on a clear Sunday morning.

The oceanfront building at 6701 Collins Ave. crumbled to the ground in a matter of seconds after a series of thundering booms, according to the Miami Herald, marking the end of the road for a hotel that famously hosted the Fab Four in 1964 before falling into disrepair in recent years.

People who gathered on the beach to watch the implosion near 64th Street cheered as the building came down, then quickly were sent scrambling as a large cloud of dust moved south. Crowds also gathered across the street on Indian Creek Drive to see the building’s collapse.

The implosion seemed to set off a smoke alarm in at least one nearby building, but a spokesperson of the city of Miami Beach confirmed to the newspaper there were no immediate issues from the implosion.

Steven Cheshire, a South Beach resident, brought his six-year-old daughter to the

beach to watch the event.

“A building blowing up on the beach,” Cheshiresaidwhenaskedwhyhewasthere. “And the Beatles played here on [the Ed Sullivan Show]. There’s historical signifi cance.”

Precautions Taken Before Implosion

An “exclusion zone” was set up Sunday morning between Collins Avenue and Harding Avenue, from 65th Street to 70th Street, the Herald reported. People were not allowedoutsideinthisarea.Inaddition,traf fic on Collins was closed at 65th Street and diverted to Indian Creek Drive. The roads were later reopened around 10 a.m.

Officialsalsotooktheprecautionofvacat ing the structures directly adjacent to the Deauville before the demolition. People in the area were recommended to keep their windows and doors closed to prevent dust from entering homes and other buildings. A “significant amount of dust” in the area sur rounding the site was expected, BG Group LLC, the project’s contractor, told the Herald.

The company, a specialist in demolition work based in Delray Beach, Fla., oversaw the implosion along with Maryland-based

Controlled Demolitions Inc. The same two firms handled the successful implosion of the still-standing portion of Champlain Towers South in Surfside after the cata strophic building collapse in June 2021 that killed 98 people.

Demolition crews began tearing down the lower parts of the Deauville building in September. Contractors first completed asbestos removal from the hotel, which allowed demolition of the building’s pool, pool deck, ballrooms and lobby to begin.

Voters Said ‘No’ to Deauville’s Redevelopment

OnNov.8,MiamiBeachvotersrejecteda ballot question to change zoning regulations at the site to allow Miami Dolphins owner and billionaire developer Stephen Ross to buildaluxurycondominiumandhoteltower there. Ross had a deal to buy the property thatwascontingentonthereferendum’spas sage.

Municipal officials in Miami Beach had sparred in court for years with the Deauville’s owners, the Meruelo family, over millions of dollars in code violations

before the city ultimately issued a demoli tion order earlier this year.

Now, the building’s implosion leaves a hole in the North Beach skyline, with the future of the valuable beach property uncer tain.

The Herald reported that less than an hour after the implosion, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber sent an email to residents that addressed the recent election results. He warned that, if the lot sits vacant, “it will only be a magnet for vagrancy and crime and will continue to arrest the economic growth of North Beach for decades.”

Gelber also wrote that Ross “may still be interested” in developing the site.

“In any case, we need to go back to the drawingboardandfindabetteroptionforits future,” he said.

Some residents have argued Ross, or another developer, should be able to work within existing zoning regulations to build something new at the site, while also paying homage to the Deauville’s rich history.

“Of course, the developers want to build as much as possible,” said Cheshire, the South Beach resident, noting that he voted againsttheballotquestion.“Butyoucanstill build a great big project here.”

ProjectWillUpgrade Century-OldT-Bridge in South Carolina

A 103-year-old vehicle bridge above a railroad line near downtown Gaffney, S.C., connecting South Granard and South Limestone streets, is set to be renovated to make it more accessible to pedestrians.

The $1.5 million project began Nov. 21 and have a yearlong timeline, the Spartanburg Post and Courier reported

Nov. 11. The improvement on the structure has a scheduled completion set for November 2023.

Car and truck traffic on the T-bridge will be closed during the renovation process.

The old bridge in the Upstate of South Carolina was con structed in 1919 and later widened in 1970.

The small town of Gaffney is just south of the North Carolina border along Interstate 85.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) awarded a contract bid for the project to Reeves Construction Co. in Duncan, S.C.

“We are planning to close the road and replace the side rails and the sidewalks on the elevated section of Granard Street,” SCDOT Construction Engineer Marc Mathis told the Post and Courier. “Our goal is to have a sidewalk that is more accessible.We are working out the details to get all the asphalt replaced and put safety fences on either side of the bridge.”

Vehicles traveling on Granard Street access the bridge by elevated ramps that lead to it. Mathis said the structure also willgetamuch-neededrepaintingtomatchitsexistingcolor.

“Due to the relatively low traffic volume, and in order to minimize the impact to property owners in the area, the road will be closed at the bridge site during the project and traffic detoured,” said SCDOT District Four Engineering Administrator Jason Johnston.

Superior will work with FDOT on a design-build project for Interstate 4 at Daryl Carter Parkway Interchange, which is part of the agency’s

Superior Construction, an American family-owned infra structure contractor, has won two Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) contracts worth approximately $112.5 million.

The heavy civil contractor was awarded FDOT’s project to complete much-need improvements to the I-295 and U.S. 17 Interchange, as well as a contract to improve the I-4 and Daryl Carter Parkway Interchange.

The scope of work for the I-295 project includes milling and resurfacing the existing roadway, widening a portion of U.S. 17, constructing new walls to accommodate sidewalks, and realigning the north and southbound I-295 exit ramps to include three right turn lanes and two left turn lanes.

Superior also was selected to complete a companion proj ect on I-295 from the Buckman Bridge to west of U.S. 17. It is expected to be completed in late 2024.

In addition, Superior will work with FDOT on a designbuild project for Interstate 4 at Daryl Carter Parkway Interchange, which is part of the agency’s Building a Better I-4 initiative.

As part of the project, Superior will convert the Daryl Carter Parkway overpass, between Central Florida Parkway and State Road 535, into a diverging diamond interchange. This will give motorists an alternate route to reach retailers and restaurants in the Lake Buena Vista area.

Superior also will add three new ramps connecting I-4 to Daryl Carter Parkway: exit ramps from both directions of I4 to Daryl Carter Parkway and an entrance ramp to east bound I-4.

“We’re proud to continue to build our robust portfolio of transportation projects in Florida and will work diligently to ensure we meet our clients’ expectations while keeping our team members safe,” said Nick Largura, CEO of Superior Construction.

AllianceWithSANYSetsIronpeddlersOnPathwaytoSuccess

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Ironpeddlers, a construction and road equipment dealer based in the CharlotteMonroe market in North Carolina, has thrived for most of the past 48 years as a family-run company noted for offering used machines and parts, along with a close working relationship with its customers.

But a decision to align itself with SANY America Inc., a manufacturer of excavators, wheel loaders and motor graders, among many other products, completely changed Ironpeddlers’ direction by making it a successful original equipment manufacturer

(OEM) dealership.

In the wake of its partnership with SANY, Ironpeddlers shifted to an expansionist mode, and now has six locations in the Southeast. Besides its original stores in Monroe, N.C.; London, Ky.; and Savannah, Ga., it opened its first SANY branch in the growing Greenville-Spartanburg market in Upstate South Carolina, followed by other SANY locations in Raleigh, N.C., and in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Ironpeddlers’ most recent addition.

Founded in 1974 by Tommy Broome,Art Cates and Jim Birchfield, Ironpeddlers has been family-owned and -operated ever since, according to Broome’s son, the cur-

rent company president, Anthony Broome. He and Kim Myers, Birchfield’s daughter, are the two active owners in the dealership. Myers also serves as executive vice president of parts sales and service of Ironpeddlers.

In its early years, the company made its name through a commitment to offering robust customer service.

As a SANY dealership, Ironpeddlers has added to that pledge by specializing in keeping its customers’machines running smoothly with skilled technicians and a vast parts inventory. It also runs full-service shops and employs a team of road technicians. In addition, when contractors find their machine has reached the end of its service life, Ironpeddlers is always ready to buy the old piece and part it out, according to Broome.

SANY Guides Ironpeddlers in New Direction

Due to its reputation for being a popular heavy equipment dealership among grading and building professionals, Ironpeddlers began to attract attention several years ago from various OEMs about selling their machines through the company.

Coincidentally, according to Broome, for the first time, he also was looking to add a primary construction equipment manufacturer to expand beyond Ironpeddlers’ lineup of used machines and parts.

“Around 2016, I started doing my research on different OEMs,” he said. “A few independent dealers with whom I had good relationships had recently picked up the SANY brand. From them, I heard many good things about SANY, chief among them were its warranties and common components, such as engines made by Cummins, Yanmar and Isuzu.”

Still, Broome wanted to tread carefully

before making a final decision.

While having lunch one day with Chief Financial Officer, Paul Stokey, where the two executives were discussing their plans for growing the company, Broome received a bit of wise counsel that ended up settling the matter.

“Paul said, ‘The way I see it, you are at a fork in the road. You can stay on the track you are going and keep Ironpeddlers the same, or you can take a chance and go with a new OEM such as SANY,’” Broome said. “I struggled with it, and then he told me, ‘Well, wouldn’t you want to try it in your forties, rather than be in your sixties or seventies and wish that you had?’”

Stokey’s insight proved to be the jumpstart Broome needed, he said, to take Ironpeddlers in a new and rewarding direction by becoming a SANY dealership.

“Along with the product line, the availability and the economy, being associated with SANY has improved our volume and our customer base, and what types of customers we can reach with new equipment who only run new machines,” Broome said. “In short, we have been very fortunate to be associated with the brand.”

Most SANYs sold through Ironpeddlers companywide, he added, “have been used in the residential building industry, however, we have several machines in concrete plants and mines as well as the paving and clearing industries.”

Ironpeddlers Began Expansion in S.C.

Not long after beginning its association with SANY, Broome’s company was given the Upstate South Carolina territory in which to sell, rent and service the manufacturer’s line of products.

The company keeps many SANY excavators in stock ready for its customers to rent or buy.

Ironpeddlers’ relationship with SANY has proven successful.

Bobcat Company has unveiled the latest machine in its electric excavator lineup: the E19e compact excavator.

The battery-electric excavator was unveiled during the first day of the bauma 2022 trade fair in Munich. Bobcat has recently introduced numerous electric machines to offer cus tomers solutions for their unique job site needs.

“With the introduction of the E19e, Bobcat has expanded its electric line-up of zero-emission and quiet machines that can match the excellent performance of our conventional models,” said Doosan Bobcat CEO Scott Park.

“This unit will build on the success of our smaller E10e, the world’s first electric mini excavator launched during bauma 2019.”

The E19e compact excavator offers a compact footprint, quiet operation and zero emissions. The electrical motors deliver full torque, regardless of rpm, providing top produc tivity, smooth hydraulic control and on-demand multifunc tioning performance with no noticeable power drop.

Like the E10e and the E32e, the E19e offers a run time of four hours of continuous operation on its lithium-ion battery pack. It charges with a standard 120-volt outlet, requiring eight hours to fully charge. While applications vary, each charge can support common daily work operations and the use of work modes for up to four hours of continuous oper ation time and a full day of operation during intermittent use or a typical contractor workday.

“As a pioneer in the field of battery-powered equipment, Bobcat innovations have helped to drive an industry-wide shift toward electric excavators and other construction equip ment,” said Park. “Our team is proud of its contributions in this segment to date, and we will continue to invest in research and development to further accelerate this important trend.”

Producing zero emissions, the battery-electric excavators support environmentally sensitive work sites. They allow users to operate inside structures where diesel exhaust is restricted. The equipment offers significantly lower noise levels and vibration, which improves jobsite communication and allows work in sound-sensitive areas.

Additional information on the E19e’s North American debut and availability to customers will be forthcoming.

Port NOLAReleases Details ofNewSt.BernardTerminal

Leaders of the Port of New Orleans (NOLA)gaveaprogressreportatanOct.27 event on efforts to build the $1.5 billion Louisiana International Terminal in St. Bernard Parish.

Biz New Orleans reported that Port NOLAPresidentandCEOBrandyChristian said the updated plan incorporates feedback from the St. Bernard community on “traffic, neighborhood buffers, drainage and more.”

“The input we received over the past two years from conversations at our community office, our two Community Advisory Councils, three public open houses and two 30-day public notice periods gave us valu able insight,” said Christian. “We are listen ing,andwewillcontinuetoaskforfeedback in order to deliver a project that provides opportunity and protects quality of life.”

The port hopes the terminal, to be located on nearly 1,100 acres in Violet, La., will serve the larger vessels that are becoming more commonplace in the container indus try.Portofficialsaddedthat,withoutatermi nal downriver from the Crescent City ConnectionBridge,thestatestandstoloseto competing ports in the Gulf of Mexico.

Currently, the project is at the beginning of a federal permitting process required under the National Environmental Policy Act, involving studies on traffic, cultural resources, wetlands, air quality and other topics. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees the process, will analyze the resultsfromthosestudiesanddecideifitwill issue permits for construction.

The Port of NOLAhopes to break ground in 2025 and to open its first berth in 2028.

“Not only does container shipping deliver goods to our grocery stores and packages to our doorsteps, but it’s also how Louisiana manufacturersandagriculturalproducersget their products to market,” Christian explained to Biz New Orleans. “If our state is to remain in the container shipping busi ness — and to retain exports and grow imports — we must build the Louisiana International Terminal.”

Michael Hecht, president and CEO of Greater New Orleans Inc., added, “The Port of New Orleans has long been a key driver of our regional and national economy, sup porting thousands of jobs. The Louisiana International Terminal is vital to ensuring that our region remains a global logistical hub. What’s more, the investments made by the Port of New Orleans will provide wellpaying jobs and drive tax revenue across St. Bernard Parish and the region.”

Port NOLA officials also announced that

“massive investments” will be made in sus tainability, including shore power that will allow vessels to connect to onshore electric ity and to turn off diesel engines while at dock. In addition, they will invest in an elec tric fleet of equipment, and the terminal will accommodate container-on-barge services, which move containers up and down the river by barge rather than road or rail.

What may be the linchpin of the entire project, though, is the design and construc tion of a road to get trucks to and from the terminal,accordingtoBizNewOrleans.The port said that construction will be a catalyst to “align public and private resources to make a long-imagined public roadway in Lower St. Bernard into a reality.”

The St. Bernard Transportation Corridor, which Port NOLAofficials said would con nect lower St. Bernard to the interstate sys tem,hasreceiveda$50millioncommitment in funding from the Louisiana Legislature and has been added to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

Earlier in October, the state released $2 million of those funds for the Regional Planning Commission to conduct a feasibil ity study on the corridor, slated to begin shortly. Plans call for the road to serve the terminal and the public.

The port’s engineering team has designed a layout that keeps St. Bernard Highway close to its original location and “includes more buffers to separate neighborhoods from the terminal, an overpass for cars to avoid a rail track crossing, space for the Merrick Cemetery to expand and space for a Parish-planned bike and pedestrian path along the levee.”

To address drainage concerns, the facili ty’s blueprints include a system of pumps and canals, and an onsite pumping station to be managed by Port NOLA.

It estimates that the Louisiana International Terminal will deliver an eco nomic impact that begins with construction, grows when the terminal opens, and contin ues to increase over time. The new terminal will “bring 17,000 new direct and indirect jobs,$1billioninnewtaxrevenuetothestate, $470 million to St. Bernard Parish, and a 15 percent increase in personal income in the parish by 2050,” according to port officials.

“Our state’s future rests in competing in a global market,” Christian said. “So, we must invest in a trade-based economy. We must invest like our Southern-state neighbors or getleftbehind.Andifwedoitright,wehave the opportunity to be the next generation leader in global trade.” 

Outdoor Power Equipment Institute Holds Equip Expo

The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute’s (OPEI) Equip Exposition (Equip Expo) set records this year with both exhibit space and attendance reaching new highs for the show formerly known as the GIE+Expo. Held Oct. 18 to 21 at Louisville’s Kentucky Expo Center, the show was once again collaborated with Hardscape North America, an Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) event.

Billed as the largest trade show for outdoor power, lawn and garden, light construction and landscape equipment, the Equip Expo is geared toward providing a forum in which industry professionals can gather, learn and share knowledge, network and demo equipment from the industry’s leading manufacturers.

The event opened with a Welcome Reception at the Louisville Slugger Field. The show encompassed more than 1 million sq. ft. of trade show exhibit space, including a nearly 30-acre outdoor equipment display and demonstration

yard, where attendees were encouraged to “Try it before you buy it.” The event also featured a host of educational seminars, certification courses, panel discussions and presentations covering the issues of most importance to the continued success and safety of business owners and their employees.

Equip Expo also included a free concert series with entertainment from The Crashers and country star Trace Adkins, sponsored by Belgard and Stihl.

Attracting more than 25,000 attendees and exhibitors from all 50 states and 49 countries, and with indoor and outdoor exhibit space for both Equip Expo and Hardscape North America, the 2022 event was the largest in the show’s 40-year history.

“The trade show remains the industry’s family reunion,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Equip Exposition and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, which owns the trade show. “This year we shook up the programming a bit

and introduced lots of new ideas from an opening welcome reception and new, interactive educational sessions to Mulligan’s 5K Fun Run and Walk, a coffee bar and an expanded outdoor demo yard.”

He added, “This year’s numbers show the industry is strong and optimistic about 2023. The industry continues to innovate and bring new technologies to markets evidenced by the major product announcements, education, networking that went on.”

The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute is an industry trade association serving the interests of outdoor power equipment manufacturers and their suppliers for more than 70 years. Next year’s Equip Expo returns to the Kentucky Exposition Center on Oct. 18 to 20.

FluidAnalysisIDsProblemsEarly;KeepsMajorWoesatBay

“Perhaps nothing is so important and so often overlooked in machinery maintenance as fluid levels,” said Indianapolis, Ind.-based Caterpillar dealer McAllister Machinery. “Analyzing engine oil, fuel, coolant and hydraulic fluid tells an internal tale describing the health of your machine.”

These analyses also are indicators of maintenance effectiveness and predictors of potential failures, believes the company.

Why, How of Fluid Analysis

Fluid analysis detects problems early, so they can be repaired before they become major failures, said McAllister.

The process helps in scheduling machine downtime and in developing a complete service history for a machine. It improves the opportunity to get top dollar for used machines when the decision is made to offload older rigs through resale or trade-in.

“For maximum protection, you need oil sampling for all major oil-lubricated systems and coolant sampling for your cooling systems,” advised McAllister. “By pinpointing fluid troubles early, you can avoid shutdowns for unplanned repairs and even catastrophic failures.”

Hand in hand with fluid maintenance goes monitoring equipment condition. It should be an overall part of a contractor’s preventive maintenance plan, said the Caterpillar dealer.

Adedicated program of equipment condition monitoring helps prevent breakdowns and unnecessary repair costs that can rob a company of efficiency and profit.

McAllister’s list of key elements involved in the monitoring process includes advanced fluid diagnostic capabilities that allow the equipment manager to better assess the condition of a rig.

“Regular care and preventive maintenance of machines are priorities for heavy equipment,” said McAllister. “That includes routine machinery maintenance you do as the owner as well as outsourced maintenance with assistance by equipment professionals.”

Set Maintenance Schedule

An unexpected breakdown, forcing unscheduled maintenance, can be a huge crimp in a project schedule, especially if the machine plays a major role on the job site.

Poor equipment productivity due to downtime and neglect is a leading contributor to increases in unexpected project costs, believes Phillips66 Lubricants.

Approximately 800 to 900 productive hours annually is what a contractor can expect from a piece of equipment, according

to the company, based in Houston, Texas.

“Based on a 40-hour work week that translates at best to a productivity rate of only 62 percent,” Phillips said. “That means most pieces of heavy equipment have a productivity rate improvement window of nearly 40 percent, which can have a big impact” on the bottom line.

Phillips believes one of the easiest and most impactful ways to improve productivity is to adhere to a preventive maintenance schedule for each piece of equipment.

At the same time, a dedicated, fleet-wide preventive maintenance program reduces downtime and increases revenue.

“Preventive maintenance occurs on a predetermined schedule, regardless of whether the equipment shows problems operating or not,” according to Phillips. “It allows you to identify and address any defects before they can evolve into more expensive and largescale issues.”

Though maintenance tasks will be dictated by an equipment manufacturer’s recommendations and the vehicle itself, most rigs have engines that require similar checks, including:

• Engine oil: Use top quality engine oil and other lubricants, advised Phillips66.

“Although engine oil represents just a small fraction of your total maintenance costs, it can have a big impact on your bottom line.”

Skimping on quality or selecting the wrong type of engine oil can lead to more serious issues, costly repairs, longer downtime and lower productivity later on.

“Find the right high-quality oil for your vehicles and keep your equipment running smoothly.”

• Fluid levels: Check the coolant, transmission, brake, fuel and other fluid levels, advised the company. Frequent drops in fluids indicate a leak that must be identified and repaired.

“As with engine oil, make sure you are using correct type of high-quality fluids to prevent costly repairs.”

Among Phillips’ tips for extending the life of heavy equipment is to regularly maintain and service your machines with high-quality lubricants.

“Regularly inspecting and changing the oil and other lubricants is the most important part of preventative maintenance,” said the company.

Because the demands put on a lubricant vary greatly with different components and operating conditions, lubricants have significantly different physical and chemical characteristics.

That’s another reason consistent use of the correct oil maximizes the life and per-

formance of equipment. “Don’t top off with an incorrect oil for convenience,” said Phillips.

But using the right amount of lubricant matters too. Too little can increase the risk of friction and equipment wear, while too much can build up and cause performance issues.

Prevent Equipment Failure

As Phillips sees it, in an ideal world there would never be breakdowns and equipment would operate 100 percent of the time at 100 percent capacity.

“But in the real world, equipment failure happens. The business impact can range from minimal and easily fixed to catastrophic.”

A catastrophic failure happens suddenly and causes a rig to cease operation, not only damaging the machine, but causing collateral damage as well.

Equipment continues to operate during a functional failure, but it cannot function according to design specs and likely requires a shutdown to correct the problem.

Understanding the why behind equipment failure can prevent an occurrence. It’s your first line of defense against unexpected equipment downtime, said Phillips.

Surface degradation, consisting mainly of corrosion and mechanical wear of machine parts, results in equipment failure in 70 percent of cases.

Corrosion is particularly problematic in equipment operated in harsh climates or conditions where moisture, dirt or salt can contaminate components.

Water increases the speed at which oil oxidizes, which ultimately leads to the part operating within an acidic environment.

Corrosion of vital industrial parts is among the most common causes of equipment failure, said Phillips.

Mechanical wear — abrasive or adhesive — happens when machine surfaces mechanically rub against each other.

Abrasive wear occurs when particle contaminants, such as dirt or wear debris, cause metal surfaces to become pitted and scored.

Adhesive wear occurs when two surfaces come into direct contact with each other and transfer material from one surface to the other.

To prevent machinery failure caused by surface degradation, keep machinery and internal parts well lubricated and sealed particle contaminant ingress, said Phillips.

The company advises contractors to make sure equipment is well maintained and has parts regularly replaced.

“Also, keep it clean and stored in an appropriate place, and only allow it to be

operated by those trained to do so.”

Proper lubrication — using the correct type and amount of oil, grease and fluids — is integral to avoiding equipment failures and to keeping your business running smoothly.

One of the best ways to prevent corrosion and wear, lubrication also protects against heat and contamination and decreases noise in bearings.

“When equipment is properly and regularly lubricated, it has the highest chance of maximum service life,” according to Phillips.

Avoid Improper Greasing

Improper lubrication results from lack of procedures, over- or under-greasing, poor labeling, the wrong lubricant, mixing products and improper handling and storage.

“Without the right technician for the job or the correct procedure, improper lubrication may occur,” warned Phillips.

Over-greasing, the company said, leads to higher operating temperatures and aggressive machine contamination. While highly damaging under-greasing can cause noise, it can go unnoticed in a loud environment.

Correct labelling decreases the risk of cross-contamination and resolves confusion over which lubricants to use.

Applying the wrong lubricant can cause component failures and voids equipment warranty. Mixing products leads to component failures.

“Maintenance personnel need training on the correct ways of handling and installing bearings and using lubricants,” advised Phillips. “Even the most minute particles can enter a small dent and cause contamination.”

Key is implementing and adhering to documented lubrication procedures and making sure every technician is properly trained on them.

In fact, it is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your equipment is properly lubricated at all times.

Another critical step is integrating a labeling system and determining the output of grease guns while calculating the regrease requirements for bearings.

Doing so will avoid both over-and underlubrication, and is a great place to start the program, said Phillips66.

“Finally, check the owner’s manual to ensure that you are using the OEM-recommended lubricant for each piece of machinery.”

Consistently using the correct, high-quality lubricant “is the most important thing you can do to avoid costly equipment failures and to keep your equipment and your business running smoothly.”

Ruston Paving Restores NASCAR’s ‘Longest-Running’Track

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

On a recent fall afternoon in Winston-Salem, N.C., full of sunshine, cool temperatures and falling leaves, venerable old Bowman Gray Stadium, home to college football games for nearby Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), was the site of a refurbishment project not normally associated with a gridiron venue.

So, many people may be surprised to learn that the work happening on this day was not to the stadium or the playing surface; rather, paving crews were replacing the asphalt track around the field for Bowman Gray’s NASCAR-sanctioned short-race track.

In fact, races have been held at the stadium’s quarter-mile track since 1949, 12 years after Bowman Gray was built as a public works project during the Great Depression. Since that time, despite its rich football history — besides hosting WSSU Rams games, it once was the home field for two high school teams, Wake Forest University and even NFLexhibition contests — the stadium also is referred to as “NASCAR’s longest-running weekly racetrack.”

The asphalt replacement was part of a multi-million-dollar renovation of the 17,000-seat stadium complex that first began in 2020.

To resurface the racetrack, the city of Winston-Salem, Bowman Gray’s owner, hired Ruston Paving Co. Inc., with

locations in Greensboro and Durham.

But Ruston also is a trusted name in its home state of New York, where it was founded in 1943. Based in Syracuse, the company today has six fully staffed branch offices across three states, according to Mark Rogers, Ruston’s regional manager in North Carolina, including locations in Rochester and Watertown, N.Y., northern Virginia and in Richmond.

Among the company’s specialties are asphalt paving, repair and, increasingly, full-depth reclamation.

After 27 years with Ruston, though, Rogers admitted he had never worked on resurfacing a racetrack at a football stadium before the Bowman Gray project.

“I would say it is very unusual,” he said during the work in September. “Most of the time, we are doing high school or university running tracks around a football field, not a racetrack.”

Rogers said that Ruston’s crews were doing the final lift of the stadium’s asphalt track.

“We milled off 1½ inches and sent it back to the Sharpe Bros. asphalt plant [in Greensboro] for recycling and put in another 1½ inches of new asphalt in its place,” he said, noting that Ruston had approximately 20 people doing the work.

Crews perform paving precision on the back curve with a Vögele Super2000-3i.

Mark Rogers of Ruston Paving keeps an eye on the project.

Ruston Relies On James River, Vögele ForComplexRacetrackProjectinN.C.

RUSTON from page 39

Most were from the Greensboro office, although a few members of the crew were brought in to help from Durham.

Of course, asphalt replacement is demanding work, but Ruston Paving chooses to use Vögele pavers, and rollers made by Sakai and Hamm, Rogers said, that make the process a smooth one for its crews.

At Bowman Gray, Ruston employed its Vögele pavers to do the job, with an extra machine waiting in the wings, if needed. That equipment, as well as the Sakai and Hamm rollers, all came from James River Equipment, with 13 locations in North Carolina, including one in Greensboro.

“We have been using Vögele for probably 10 years and I would say we have about a dozen of them in our fleet right now,” Rogers said. “We have found them to be the best on the market and they are what our people enjoy using. There is a lot of automation with the Vögeles — their electronics make the job easier for us.”

He also noted that Ruston feels comfortable using James River Equipment, noted for its quick response and outstanding service, because the dealer works well with the paving company.

“We have found that we can always get them on the phone when we need to. They offer plenty of support when we have issues or are just getting started on a project.”

Racetrack Rehab More Complex Than Usual

The goal of the Bowman Gray track renovation was not simply removing and replacing old pavement, Rogers said, but something a bit more complex.

“With it being a racecar track, we are going for smoothness and proper densities, and we are trying to have all our thicknesses the same to give the drivers the best possible surface for them to run on,” he said. “We did so by milling it off with a lot of automation and checking, as well as going back over it to make it just as even as possible.

“The machines are an integral part of that,” Rogers added. “We would not be able to do it without the new automated equipment. If you were doing it manually like we did years ago [by] digging out with an excavator, it would be difficult to get the same paving efficiency we can today.”

With the automation on the Vögele machines, though, he said the operator can set the paver to keep a certain depth, or elevation.

“On this racetrack, because the slope changes so much, we could not set the automation to the same slope all the way around, so we are trying to keep it to a constant thickness,” Rogers said, adding the track’s corners have approximately a three percent slope while the straightaways slopes were a little under two percent. “But with that, we had to make sure it is a nice, smooth grade when we milled it out earlier in the week.”

Ruston Paving Sports Large Portfolio of Work

The Winston-Salem job is just one of Ruston Paving’s approximately 1,000 paving projects each year, according to Rogers. The firm typically performs a great deal of commercial rehab work, in addition to paving an extensive list of shopping centers, business parks and subdivisions.

He added that Ruston repairs “the failed areas” at retail and business parking lots and also mills them to create whole new surfaces over the rest of the area for its clients. In general, he said, the company takes on projects that require five to 5,000 tons of asphalt.

“We tend not to do as much new general contractor work as we used to but concentrate on working with certain clients and taking on rehabilitation projects,” he said. “Rehab work is not new construction; instead, it is going into a 15- to 20year-old project and milling out repairs in bad areas and doing an overlay above them. We also do full-depth reclamations where we chew up the existing material, add Portland cement, fine grade it and then pave on top of that to get a stabilized base.”

The full depth reclamation (FDR) process is an environmentally friendly way to rebuild worn out asphalt pavements by recycling the existing roadway.

Rogers said that Ruston Paving began utilizing the method in 1995 at the company’s New York State locations and bought several pieces of equipment to carry out the work. After FDR’s use by Ruston tailed off slightly, he said, a Virginia project needing full depth reclamation in 2010 revived the company’s interest in the green process.

“We saw the benefits from it economically and environmentally,” Rogers said. “Rather than ripping out an entire section of pavement, throwing it away, and bringing in a new stone base — we can use the old pavement and stone that the owner already bought and re-use it as their new base. It is of benefit to both the customer and to us.”

Paving Firm Benefits From Solid, Family Leadership

Like most construction service companies, Ruston Paving began as a one-man operation when Mike Ruston bought a truck and a roller. It was known as Ruston Construction for its first 24 years before turning its focus to paving driveways and later, commercial projects in the Syracuse area.

Rogers said that Mike Ruston continued to run the company into the 1960s before his son, Larry, ran it in the 1970s and 1980s, followed by his son, Mark, the current owner, who worked to keep it a thriving family business.

In 1997, Mark Ruston moved to North Carolina to get his MBA from UNC-Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and, at the same time, formed the first Ruston Paving office in the Tarheel State.

“Since I was the younger guy in the office with no wife or children at that time, he brought me down to start the branch in Durham,” said Rogers, who has an engineering degree from Clarkson University in Potsdam, N.Y. “Then, in 2005, we added the Greensboro location.”

As it approaches its 80th anniversary in 2023, Ruston is recognized as an industry leader in each of the three East Coast regions in which it works.

Rogers credited the paving firm’s longevity to “good people that want to work and succeed. That means good people to run it and good people in the field because we are a team out here doing this. We can sell all we want to sell, but if we do not have hard-working crews to do it, the company cannot prosper.”

VögeleIntroducesFourNewMini-Road PaversWithBatteryOrElectricPower

Vögele presented four new mini-road pavers at bauma 2022 that are able to pave widths ranging from .8 to 5.9 ft. Both the wheeled paver and the tracked paver will be available with optional diesel or battery-electric drive systems. The new machines round off the lower end of Vögele’s wide range of asphalt paving products.

“The demand for flexible and sustainable solutions at small construction sites is high and our view is that it will continue to increase. Our new mini pavers will enable customers to complete small paving jobs quickly, cost-effectively, sustainably and therefore profitably,” said Marcio Cavalcanti Happle, head of sales, local marketing and product/customer support at Vögele.

Wide Range of Applications

Their compact dimensions and variable paving widths make the MINI 500 (diesel) and MINI 500e (battery-electric) tracked pavers as well as the MINI 502 (diesel) and MINI 502e (battery-electric) wheeled pavers ideally suitable for use in small-scale construction projects that include constructing cycle and pedestrian paths, paving between railroad tracks as well as repair work in small inner-city sites, which are often characterized by their narrow working spaces.

The standard screed working width is 2.6 ft. and it can be enlarged up to 4.4 ft. hydraulically. The minimum paving width can be reduced down to .8 ft., or the width can be built up to a maximum of 5.9 ft. using bolt-on extensions.

Compact transport dimensions of 105 by 62.4 in. and low weights of between 2,205 and

model) allow for easy transport. A narrow turning radius makes the four wheeled or tracked pavers extremely agile.

E-Power: Local Emission-Free Asphalt Paving With MINI 500e, MINI 502e

Tenders are increasingly defining stricter emission requirements for construction projects. The battery-electrical drive systems used in the MINI 500e and the MINI 502e make them ideal for local emission-free asphalt paving.

The Vögele electric mini pavers, marked with the suffix “e”, both provide a sustainable production system when used in conjunction with the likewise battery-electrical tandem rollers from the Hamm compact line.

Sales Launch in Europe

The European market launch of the diesel-powered models is planned for the first half of 2023 and the launch of the E-Power machines will follow afterwards. European distribution will be handled by the Wirtgen Group’s sales and service networks.

Cooperation With C. M. S.r.l.

The new Vögele MINI series has been developed and will be manufactured for Vögele by C. M. S.r.l., an Italian company with more than 40 years’ manufacturing experience with roadbuilding equipment.

“We are very much looking forward to cooperating with the leading road paver manufacturer. Working with Vögele will also be a vote of confidence in our know-how,” said Gaetano Castiglione, CEO of C. M. S.r.l.

Mini Road Pavers Will Expand Wirtgen GroupÊs Range of Machines

“The new mini-pavers will expand Vögele’s product range and the battery-electric models will enable the Wirtgen Group to support the sustainability goals of its customers as well as its ambitions to expand the availability of electrified product models by 2026. Cooperating with C. M. S.r.l is a huge leap along the sustainability path,” said Domenic Ruccolo, CSO of the Wirtgen Group and senior vice president, sales, marketing and product support, global construction equipment, John Deere.

Fontaine Specialized Helps Lead Tri-State Trailers Sales

A lot can happen over a decade. Just 10 years ago, construction trailers accounted for approximately 5 percent of Tri-State Trailer Sales stock.

At that time, Tri-State Trailers Sales recognized an opening for a trailer provider with expert knowledge in the unique applications and laws that impact the construction industry. While the company’s trailer lines continue to address virtually every application in trucking, the dealership made a committment to position itself as a leading authority and source for construction industry-related hauling. Within five years, the dealership’s construction trailers business grew to 10-15 percent and the pattern has continued with the segment representing 30 percent of the company’s business today.

In addition to diversifying the sales stock, Tri-State Trailer Sales has made a commitment to service its customers 360 degrees by offering all types of specialized trailers to rent for as little as one day to long-term leases, at each of its four fullservice locations through the company’s leasing division, TSTL, Inc.

“It’s all about understanding the needs of our customers,” said Tri-State Trailers Sales Territory Sales Representative

axles.

According to Infield, the construction industry has been the dealership’s biggest growth market and Fontaine Specialized, which manufactures all of the trailers mentioned above except for traveling axles and tag trailers, is the company’s leading trailer provider in the segment.

Among the Fontaine Specialized trailers Tri-State Trailers Sales offers are:

• the Workhorse line available in capacities from 50 to 55 tons, close coupled (not spreader capable), with fixed flat level deck match to a tridem ride bogie and optional flip axle. Infield said that the 55LCC model is among the most popular for contractors and equipment haulers in Pennsylvania;

• the Magnitude 3+1 spreader capable trailer line is available with flat level deck (FLD), drop side rail deck (DSR) or beam deck configurations (BMD), and with either a fixed or modular (M) tridem ride bogie and in capacities ranging from 55-60 tons;

• the Magnitude 3+2 modular spreader capable tridem trailer line is available with a flat (MFLD), drop side rail (MDSR) or beam deck (MBMD) in 60- to 75-ton capacities;

• the Magnitude 3+3 modular spreader capable tridem

trailer line is available with a flat (MFLD), drop side rail (MDSR) or beam deck (MBMD) in capacities up to 80 tons;

• the Xcalibur line of flatbed or dropdeck extendable trailers are available in lengths that stretch from 48 ft. to 80 ft. or 53 ft. to 90 ft. with excellent adaptability in a variety of hauling applications; and

• Fontaine’s Renegade, a 30- to 40-ton range fixed tandem bogie available with hydraulic or mechanical gooseneck and optional flip-axle. Renegade models are available in loaded deck heights that range from 20 in. down to the 12in. mini-deck.

Infield said a key advantage of Fontaine’s Workhorse and Magnitude models is its unique hook and shaft design at the front of the company’s trailers. “On rough or uneven terrain, this feature makes it much easier and quicker to reconnect the gooseneck” he said. “There’s no more alignment needed than getting the gooseneck under the hooks.”

According to Infield, these trailer models are popular with contractors because deck space is a full 26 ft., free and clear. In addition, the ride height adjustment on both the gooseneck and suspension of Fontaine’s hydraulic detach models have seven settings, making them an extremely user friendly and a very versatile trailer.

“Tri-State Trailer Sales is one of our company’s leading dealers,” said Fontaine Specialized Sales Manager Tyler Vickers. “Over the past three to five years, the dealership’s business has grown exponentially and the company’s focus on being informed about the construction industry is largely responsible for that growth. Their sales team is extremely knowledgeable. We’ve worked very closely with them to provide in-person and online training, plant tours and we’ve have accompanied them on sales calls. With a fleet of trailers selected to meet a wide range of construction industry needs, and backed by outstanding service, Tri-State Trailers is really focused on providing the right solutions for its customers.”

Randy Infield. “Some of that comes from training and experience, but it also involves knowing the right questions to ask. It’s important to factor in what the customer is hauling, what the permit requirements and what the weight restrictions are where the hauling is taking place. Transportation requirements in the construction industry are incredibly diverse, ranging from oversized loads and extreme weight to small, relatively lightweight compact machines. We’ve incorporated what we’ve learned from our customers and our suppliers to tailor our stock to meet the needs of our customer’s transportation challenges.”

Location plays a major role in trailer choice, according to Infield.

“A lot of companies operating in Pennsylvania in need of a low, 18-in. loaded deck height trailer, choose Fontaine’s Workhorse 55LCC over their Magnitude 55L Plus,” he said. “The 55LCC doesn’t need a spreader bar to haul 55 tons and it has a longer gooseneck, so it doesn’t require a flip neck extension, For companies with a multi-state business range, the Magnitude 55L Plus, equipped with a gooseneck extension, would be favored because it meets nearly universal state road and highway regulations.”

Tri-State Trailer Sales’ lineup of construction trailers includes hydraulic detach trailers, mini-decks, double-drops, hydraulic tails, multi-axle lowboys, tag trailers and traveling

The Workhorse 55LCC model is among the most popular for contractors and equipment haulers in Pennsylvania.

A key advantage of Fontaine’s Workhorse and Magnitude models is its unique hook and shaft design at the front of the company’s trailers.

Right Equipment Makes Big Impact for Family-Owned Biz

By Chris Pokornowski TOWMASTER TRAILERS

As small business owners step into the journey of growing their business, identifying the equipment that supports you in working the way you work can make an incredible impact on the trajectory of your business. It’s important to understand what kind of tools and equipment can bolster your business, and what kind could hold you back.

For a small business owner, each decision can make a big difference.

Small business owners need to consider their business goals first to understand what they need from their tools and equipment. Towmaster talked with the owner of a family-owned landscaping business and he shared his perspective on what to look for when choosing landscaping equipment.

Family-Owned Small Business

Mulder Maintenance and Services (MMS) is a family-owned commercial and residential hardscaping and landscaping business in northern Indiana. Owned and operated by Andy Mulder, MMS has been designing, building and maintaining landscaping sites since 2013.

Mulder started his career in high school, working after classes, on weekends and on school breaks. After graduation, he entered the field of landscaping and snow maintenance full time. In 2013, Mulder had already spent more than a decade in the industry, and was ready to branch out and start a business of his own.

For over 15 years, Mulder has utilized his skill, expertise, creativity and superior craftsmanship to grow his business, give back to

“I was looking for something that was more heavy duty, and could handle the larger equipment we kept purchasing as we were growing so much,” said Andy Mulder.

his community and provide residential and commercial property owners with their ideal outdoor spaces.

Identify Your Priorities

For MMS, the right tools and equipment were key to steady growth over time. In the early years of business ownership, Mulder knew he had to make an investment into the tools and equipment that would support him in working on his own terms. When it came time to choose a truck trailer, Mulder needed to make sure he was making the right decision.

“I was looking for something that was more heavy duty, and could handle the larger equipment we kept purchasing as we were growing so much,” said Mulder.

After going over his business goals, and tapping into the experiences he has had up until that point, the key decision making factors were: build, quality, weight capacity and customization capability.

Good Equipment Makes Difference

Armed with an understanding of how he wanted to grow his business, Mulder went to his local dealership to discuss trailer options.

“I had heard nothing but good things about Towmaster from my dealer and also from watching the trailers that Tom [The Dirt Ninja] had on his Youtube channel. My dealer let me try a T14DT for an afternoon and allowed me to haul my 10k lb. track loader around and I was sold instantly.”

Mulder ultimately chose Towmaster because of the build quality.

“I have never used a trailer that feels more solid than these. You literally don’t even know it’s loaded with the weight you put on it,” said Mulder. “The I-Beam frame is a big selling feature. They are just night and day different from other trailers I have used in the past. I also love that you can get different style ramps for any trailer you want.”

Mulder’s first trailer was customized exactly to his needs, and as a result, he was able to grow his business on his terms. Now, MMS has grown into a company of six people who focus on creative outdoor landscaping solutions that require a high level of attention to detail.

Future of Mulder Maintenance and Services

The future is bright for Mulder Maintenance and Services, as it continues to grow its business and expand its customer base in 2021 and beyond. As his business advances, Mulder will continue to tap into the experiences of his team and his business goals to understand what equipment he’ll need in the future.

“The next time we buy a trailer we will be buying a T-50 that can haul two or three machines at the same time with one truck,” said Mulder. “I couldn’t be happier with my Towmaster trailers.” 

Ironpeddlers Experiences Growth Due to Partnership

The Greenville-Spartanburg market was the closest open territory to the dealership’s Monroe headquarters at the time, he said, and his company soon began a search for property in the area to set up shop, if only temporarily.

“We found a small laydown yard in Fountain Inn, S.C., southeast of Greenville, and bought a small, prefabricated barn as an office building,” Broome said. “Once we painted a sign, we were in business.”

Later, after Ironpeddlers and SANY had established a foothold in the market, the manufacturer asked Broome’s company to build a larger facility to better care for its customers’ needs.

“Now, we have a seven-bay shop with a road frontage along Interstate 85 in Duncan, S.C., between Spartanburg and Greenville,” he said, adding that the branch sits on 6 acres.

Depending on their size, several machines can be housed in the service bays at any one time. From the location, Ironpeddlers keeps three service trucks ready for quick dispatch and a trio of resident technicians are on hand to repair any equipment issues.

To date, the largest SANY machines sold by Ironpeddlers in the Greenville market

have been a pair of SY500 excavators, a 120,000-lb. model. Broome noted that Big Mountain Machinery in the Asheville, N.C. area bought them for use in building a large school project.

In eastern North Carolina, Ironpeddlers opened its Raleigh dealership two years ago, capitalizing on the non-stop growth of the dynamic Triangle market.

Back in the Palmetto State, the company is preparing a permanent home for its latest branch, this time in Horry County along the coast. Ironpeddlers is currently leasing a facility in Myrtle Beach, another dynamic region for construction, while it readies a permanent building in nearby Conway. Broome said the new location should be up and running in the fourth quarter of 2023.

That means the Myrtle Beach-area branch, in tandem with the GreenvilleSpartanburg, Raleigh and Charlotte-Monroe facilities, will effectively cover almost the entirety of Ironpeddlers’ sales territories for SANY products in the Carolinas.

As a result, more heavy equipment made by SANY can now be spotted working on highway and field projects in the two states than ever before.

Broome attributed that to Ironpeddlers placing an early emphasis on lessening the

cation programs. Founded in 1904, ACI is headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, with a regional office in Dubai, UAE, and resource centers in Southern California and Chicago/Midwest. ACI has over 94 chapters, 244 student chapters, and 30,000 members spanning over 120 countries.

downtime of its machines once they are on the job site.

“We went heavy in the service end of the business prior to taking on a lot of territory,” he said. “That included making sure we had the top technicians on hand to service customers quickly.”

The contractors Ironpeddlers serves have responded positively to the significant investments it has been making to open its three branches over the last five years.

“What we found in expanding into the OEM equipment world is that your customers want confidence that you will be there to service them, so having a brick-andmortar shop provides them with comfort that you are going to fulfill their needs,” Broome said.

New, Used Parts Readily Available

Ironpeddlers understands that even the most dependable equipment requires a new part now and then. To be ready for those moments, the dealership has a large repository of new, used and remanufactured parts and accessories in each of its six locations.

Its parts division specializes in high-quality used components pulled from the dealer’s yard — one that holds hundreds of

machines. If a part cannot be found at one of its branches, Ironpeddlers also can locate it through a worldwide dealer network.

Lately, the used parts division of Ironpeddlers has proved to be quite successful.

“The parts business has come in well over the past several years because with the down economy, people often work with what they have, so they will buy used parts instead of new machinery,” he said.

“Additionally, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the great work our team in Savannah has done in the past year under the leadership of a new manager since January 2021,” Broome said. “They have grown our customer base and new parts sales in ways I never would have imagined.”

In looking ahead, Broome believes that Ironpeddlers’ future will continue to shine bright.

“We want to keep the SANY brand as our main OEM so we can continue to offer excellent service to our Southeast customers.”

Includes New Walls, Two New Bridges

and Broad Street, which should ease congestion on I-24 in this area. It also provides better access by eliminating quick lane changes previously necessary for U.S. 27 to access downtown at the Broad Street exit.

“Additionally, the south side of Chattanooga has been blighted since the closure of the U.S. Pipe/Wheland Foundry site. Currently, the county and city are working with developers to revitalize the area, which would increase traffic flow to the area.”

As with most construction projects, motorists will be somewhat inconvenienced until all work is complete.

“I-24 in both directions is currently affected by temporary barrier rail in the median at four locations between LM 177.4 and 178.4,” said Bradley. “Chestnut Street is currently closed to through traffic. Williams Street also is closed to through traffic, but the I-24 West on-ramp remains open.”

Currently, 72 percent of the work on the project is completed. Construction includes creating a new frontage road for approximately 1.6 mi. in Chattanooga, Hamilton County.

“The existing I-24 off-ramp at Broad Street will be removed to allow for the frontage road to be constructed from Broad Street to Market Street,” said Bradley, who explained that seven walls and two bridges are included as part of the work.

“One bridge and six of the walls are complete. The final wall and the small remaining portion of the second bridge will be completed when the contractor begins work on the addition of U.S. 27 off-ramp to Broad Street and the frontage road.”

Wright Brothers Construction Company serves as the general contractor of the undertaking, which includes grading, drainage and paving throughout the project limits, as well as the addition of bridges, retaining walls, signals and lighting.

Bradley explained that good weather is imperative for

crews to work efficiently and make progress, while it’s easier for the contractor to work through differing weather elements when performing structural work.

Completion of Phase 1 is taking place currently, which includes the new exit off-ramp (frontage road) from I-24 East to Broad Street. Demolition also has been required. At issue, several existing storm drain CBs and pipe, a number of off-ramps and an existing bridge demo over Chestnut Street.

Crews still have to finish Phase 2, the remaining frontage road from Broad Street to Market Street, bridge demo work and the new alignment from U.S.-27 to Broad Street.

Avariety of equipment is being used at the job site. Heavy machinery includes Cat 328 and 336 excavators; Cat D6T and D6K dozers; a Cat 420 backhoe; a Cat 299 compact track loader; a Cat 740 haul truck; Cat 308 and 305 miniexcavators; a Cat 930 wheel loader; a Cat D8R II dozer with a Broce Broom; a Sakai roller; a Link-Belt 218 crawler crane; a Genie manlift; and Miller welders.

According to TDOT’s website, when work is complete, the project will not only accommodate current and future traffic demands, but also promote economic growth and support area redevelopment.  CEG
