Kenny: The Oldest Dozer Operator How His Love of Dozers Led to His Logging More Than 110,000 Lifetime Hours As a young boy, Kenny Nichols was no stranger to hard work. His dad passed away in 1934, when Nichols was four years old, leaving the youngster, his mother and older siblings to eke out a living from the land during the Great Depression. It meant long days and back-breaking work with few rewards. Beginning of Caterpillar Love Affair One particular day, some 84 years ago, seven-year-old Nichols was on an errand, walking a county dirt road in rural Missouri, when a man driving a Caterpillar Ten crawler came down the way. “The county had the machine. They were bringing it up the road from Cedar Grove to work on some hills near the Palmer Banks [near Jadwin, Mo.]. I was just a kid walking along the road. The driver stopped to give me a ride,” Nichols said. “And he let me drive it about a half a mile.” That brief encounter began Nichols’s lifelong love for Cat dozers. Duty Calls Little boys grow up, and Nichols did, too. He and his brothers continued working to help support the family. In 1951, Nichols married the love of his life, Willadean Stephens. Soon after, duty called, and the U.S. Army sent him to Korea. Leaving his young bride at home on her parent’s Missouri farm, Nichols served his country abroad for 13 months. But not everything about being away from home was without joy. During his service in Korea, Nichols ran a Caterpillar dozer. “I got to run one in the Army. It wasn’t in my MOS code, but we had the equipment over there to dig trenches. The operators were tired and didn’t want to run them, so I said, ‘I’ll do it.’” Nichols said. “I got to run them a lot over there.” Homecoming Upon the young soldier’s homecoming in 1953 he picked up where he’d left off — working as a dozer operator. Over the next few years, Nichols built a strong repu-

and he has probably done it using a Cat dozer. Over the years, he’s owned only Cat machines and currently owns a D6C, a D6D and a Cat backhoe. When asked why he chooses Cat machines, Nichols replied, “I wouldn’t have anything else. If you’re going to use heavy equipment, just get Cat — they’re dependable. And I think they’re prettier, myself. “I’ve dug so many new house basements around Salem, Missouri, — more than were dug with backhoes. And lakes — big lakes! It would take me a lot of time to tell you about all the jobs I’ve worked on,” he said.

“Why quit something you like doing,” Kenny Nichols said.

In 1951, Kenny Nichols married Willadean Stephens.

tation as a skillful operator known for his integrity and passion for high-quality work. But he preferred to work for companies that owned Cat machines. Eventually, Nichols purchased his own machine. “The first dozer I bought was a Cat D6C in 1971. It belonged to a man I was working for at the time.

Just Like They Took Care of Us Throughout the years, the

During his service in Korea, Kenny Nichols ran a Caterpillar dozer.

He bought a brand-new D6C and offered to sell me his old one,” he said. So, Nichols began using his own dozer and working for himself. Through the years, he has worked on every type of job imaginable. From clearing land for buildings and roads, to moving dirt for stock ponds and lakes — you name it,

Nichols family fared well, supported by Nichols’s extraordinary operator skills and passion for operating a dozer. But it’s the Nichols family’s love for each other and their Cat dozers that makes the story special. Kent Nichols, Kenny and Willadean’s son, explained, “You

see, my mother developed severe Rheumatoid arthritis when she was just 27. If you had spoken to her on the phone, you wouldn’t have known there was anything wrong with her. She was always upbeat and positive — an eternal optimist. But her fingers were very contorted from the arthritis. She wore a Ccollar and was in a wheelchair because she’d had both legs amputated due to the disease. “Caterpillar is an important part of our family’s story because all through the years, my dad took care of Mom. He would get her up in the mornings and get her set for the day. If she had to go to the doctor, he would take her. This went on for years and years. His business allowed him the flexibility to take care of her, but those dozers made it possible. Had it not been for those Cat machines being so dependable and the whole Caterpillar and Fabick team behind them — Dad couldn’t have cared for Mom. And the machines enabled him to make enough money to pay her medical bills. “So, growing up, those dozers were like members of the family. We cherished them and took care of them, just like they took care of us.” Willadean passed away nearly 24 years ago, but her love for life and remarkable legacy lives on. Today, at age 91, Nichols continues working every day at the job he has loved for a lifetime. The family estimates that he’s spent more than 110,000 hours operating dozers — possibly claiming the record for logging the most hours operating a bulldozer. And those Cat machines? They just keep on running. “You can’t find machines that are any better. You can afford to pay more for a Cat machine because it’s cheaper in the long run. They last longer and they handle better. They prove themselves,” said Nichols. Does he think about retiring anytime soon? “Why quit something you like doing,” Nichols said. This story was reprinted with the permission of Caterpillar Inc. 

ViaWest Group Breaks Ground On Goodyear Project

The project includes three industrial buildings of 284,290, 58,473, and 67,476 sq. ft. in size

ViaWest Group has broken ground on Goodyear Crossings Industrial Park located at the southwest corner of Elwood Street and Sarival Avenue in Goodyear, Ariz. The project, a joint venture with a Philadelphia-based investment company, is being built on the 25.91-acre parcel ViaWest acquired in November 2019. The plan includes three industrial buildings of 284,290, 58,473, and 67,476 sq. ft. in size. Each building is planned for single or multi-tenant use and all include specifications. Delivery is intended for the third quarter of 2021. “With the rapidly expanding Goodyear industrial market, these high quality, small to mid-size buildings are unique offerings to the market and will provide logistics and/or

manufacturing solutions to a variety of growing businesses,” said Alex Boles, director of development of ViaWest Group. “Net absorption in Metro Phoenix was at an all-time high in 2020, absorbing just over 15 million square feet. That is a 9 million square foot increase from 2019,” said Allen Lowe, principal of Lee & Associates. “In Goodyear’s booming market, the ViaWest spec buildings located in the Goodyear Opportunity Zone, will not only be a cost savings for a new business, but they will create an accelerated time-to-market, which means a business can be up and running faster, providing more jobs for our citizens,” said Mayor Georgia Lord. “We are excited to see the growth and new developments helping our community build

a solid future for years to come.” The site is located 3.2 mi. south of a full-diamond interchange at Cotton Lane and Interstate 10, less than 1 mi. from the future Loop 303 southern extension and is directly adjacent to buildings occupied by large industrial tenants, such as Amazon and Macy’s. Being the most westerly connection to California, the West Valley serves as a strategic growth market for industrial, residential and commercial demand. Bankers Trust provided the construction loan for Goodyear Crossings Industrial Park and Lowe and Jeff Conrad of Lee & Associates will handle leasing for the project. Willmeng Construction, McCall & Associates, and Kaeko Inc. are part of the development team. 

Extending Arizona Highways...

Construction Begins On East Valley Freeway Projects Initial construction is under way on two East Valley freeway projects designed to open more travel options for drivers in the east Mesa and south Gilbert areas. Crews have set up work zones and are making early progress on the Arizona Department of Transportation’s projects to extend State Route 24 (Gateway Freeway) east of Ellsworth Road and also add a new interchange along Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) at Lindsay Road. The $77 million SR 24 project, which started in December, will add an interim four-lane divided roadway for 5 mi. between Ellsworth Road and Ironwood Drive. ADOT worked with the Federal Highway Administration and regional planners to arrange funding for the project years ahead of when a full freeway could be built. The SR 24 extension, providing drivers with a new route to ease growing traffic demands, is scheduled to open by late 2022. A dirt hauling operation will require sev-

eral weekend closures of a freeway ramp. The westbound SR 24 on-ramp at Ellsworth Road is scheduled to be closed from 9 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays on weekends from Feb. 19 to March 29. Drivers can use detours on Ellsworth, Ray or Elliot roads. Overnight restrictions along Ellsworth Road will be needed at times over the next four months when heavy equipment has to cross the road near SR 24. Meanwhile, crews broke ground in January on the $21.7 million project to add a new Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) interchange at Lindsay Road. Crews have established work zones for the construction of on- and off-ramps to connect Lindsay Road with Loop 202. A new westbound Loop 202 frontage road will be added between Lindsay and Gilbert roads. Completion is scheduled in early 2022. The town of Gilbert took the lead in efforts to arrange funding for the project. 

Hawaiian Contractor’s Mulching Operation Heats Up The tropical climate of Maui attracts thousands to the island for vacations, special events, or just to escape the stress of the mainland. But this past summer — the hottest on record for Maui — sparked not only tourists, but a massive wildfire. Overgrown and crispy vegetation rapidly spread the blaze — right up to the island’s lone power plant. Through a stroke of luck, Vares Contracting was called to clear overgrowth along transmission line access roads and in the front of the power plant only two days prior to the fire. This process kept the lights on for approximately 166,000 people on the island by providing a fire break and a last stand from which to fight the encroaching flames. In the midst of the highest rated fire emergency — Immediate Danger to Life and Property — Vares turned its powerful equipment to clearing and mulching down the fallen trees and brush, reducing the fuel ladder to contain the spread of the blaze. Facing a force of nature, the island’s state and federal agencies turned to Vares Contracting for help in keeping the lights on and the fire at bay. Lisa Vares of Vares Contracting is no stranger to fire prevention. For years, Vares Contracting had cleared the brush under the main transmission line of the Maui Electric Power Plant, or MPP, in Maalaea two to three times a year. The main transmission line that controls bringing power up to a good quarter of the entire population of the island, runs off this one line, Vares said. However, when the Maui Electric parent company changed, this 2.5-mi. access road underneath the main transmission line had not been cleared in more than two years. This led to the entire span of the access road being clogged with five times more vegetation than normal. With cane grass reaching over 7 ft. tall and overgrown brush enlarged to be tree-sized, the extra-crispy fallow fields were perfectly conditioned to act as kindle. When Vares Contracting was called to clear the transmission line and access road vegetation, Edward Vares responded to the thick brush. “We roll up to the power plant, clear a nice big, long rectangular acre or two, that’s kind of our base area to start with which backs up onto the walls of the power plant.” Just as fires were breaking out across the island’s flat and narrow isthmus, Vares, unaware of the looming danger, was clearing the area surrounding the island’s only power plant. Part-way through clearing, Lisa Vares got word from the Maui Fire Department (MFD) that a fire was coming right for the Maalaea power plant, and for Edward. Edward had enough time to get the exca-

When the Maui Electric parent company changed, this 2.5-mi. access road underneath the main transmission line had not been cleared in more than two years. This led to the entire span of the access road being clogged with five times more vegetation than normal.

vator he had been working with tucked against the MPP’s exterior concrete wall, hoping the MFDs efforts would shield it from the fire. As the sun set over Maui County, the blaze grew into an 10,000-plus acre fire — all in the span of 10 hours. “It was just a firestorm. There was nothing the firefighters could do, the only thing that could stop the fire was bulldozers… and the fire department doesn’t have any bulldozers. General contractors like ourselves just automatically show up with bulldozers because that’s what you do on a small town.” Luckily for the fire department and the island, Vares Contracting had a fleet of equipment, including D4 bulldozers, to knock down the piles of burning tree stumps, as well as a Komatsu PC300 excavator and a Case TV380 compact tracked loader — both equipped with Fecon Bull Hog mulchers — ready to tackle the flames. Vares’ TV380 has a BH085 mulcher equipped with the FGT rotor head with double carbide tip teeth. Its drum-style configuration with a spiral tool pattern cuts through fibrous brush without clogging. And at 7 ft. wide, the BH085 is wider than the tracks on the TV380, reducing unneeded wear and tear on the rubber tracks. The Fecon Bull Hog’s design and the nimbleness of the CTL would prove critical in fighting and containing the blaze. After a night of battle between the MFD and the raging fire, Vares returned to the equipment, prepared for the worst. “Through the night they’re like telling us the Maalaea power plant’s being evacuated; prepare for wide-scale electrical outages.”

Expecting total destruction, Vares was surprised to find the equipment had not only survived, but that the fire break, created just the day before, had prevented the blaze from shutting down the power plant and given the fire fighters a defensive point from which to hose down the blaze. While the building survived, several of power poles along the main transmission line had fallen in the fire. “When we showed up the next day our equipment was still there, but all of the power lines are down and all of the trees that they were surrounding what we were coming in to clear anyway are down.” Downed lines prevented anyone, including firefighters and electrical employees, from getting through the access road to repair the lines and restore power. Vares’ job, to clear the brush choking the access road and around the transmission lines, had just become a whole lot harder, and more important. Vares immediately got back to work. “We started the next day before the fire was even contained or extinguished. We just went in directly after the fire... and first, exposing, getting through all the transmission lines so that the pole crews can come back in and put the poles back up and get energy back up again.” Edward and Lisa Vares worked with a team from local Maui Fire Department and out-of-state National Park Federal fire fighters, some from as far as Washington State, to tackle the blaze. Vares’ team would clear the brush around downed transmission lines so that power plant crews could restore the line — and the

power. Brush clearing also lessened the chance that a shift of wind would send the fire back their way, by removing smoldering kindling and embers or at least reducing the amount of remaining vegetation that could catch fire. The specialized work of clearing land could only be accomplished with a professional team and professional equipment, including the Fecon Bull Hog BH 80EXC forestry mulcher attached to a Komatsu PC300 30-ton excavator. Vares’ team worked in step with the MFD to control the blaze in the immediate surrounding property. One hot spot that proved challenging to control were the old-growth Kiawe trees at the corner of the Maui Power Plant facility. The fire at the ground level refused to extinguish, even after four days of continuous water drops from helicopters. The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Forestry Division asked Vares to bring their excavators to the active fire location and remove all vegetation, a massive request that could only be accomplished with their top-line equipment. Working quickly to clear and mulch down terrains in or near active burn sites, it was critical that Vares had visibility as an operator. In his Komatsu PC300, and Case CX75, both equipped with a BH80 EXC mulcher, he sits higher in the machine, as opposed to sitting lower in the cab of a compact track loader. Up in the cab of the excavator, he was able to look down on what he’s clearing and keep an eye out for any smoldering brush. In an emergency push, Vares cleared a 100 ft. wide by 600 ft. long chunk out of the forest. Carving a clearing from the dense, tangled forest — which previously presented challenges for Federal Firefighters to traverse on foot — separated the still-burning fire line from the border of the MPP facility. “This process was super risky, because we had to move our equipment into a tangled, tall forest that was still on fire, mulching our way in as we went.” The fire department followed behind them, putting out pop-up fires. With their feet to the fire — literally — it was critical that Vares’ team had equipment that worked quickly and efficiently. Enter the Bull Hog double-carbide teeth, which easily chewed through the brush, and Fecon’s speed torque optimization variable speed motor, that automatically adjusted the motor displacement to maximize rotor speed and torque as material load changed, providing higher rpm, more bites per second and finer material sizing. Fecon’s Bull Hog made short work tackling Kiawe, the most common type of thorny hardwood trees in Maui and was critical in clearing to prevent the fire spreading. 

Adamo Unlocks New Efficiencies With Sennebogen Fleet we learned something from that. Reliability is very high with Sennebogen.” “The effortless way the wheeled material handler works running on solid tires are certainly less troublesome than tracks to maintain. We leave the magnet on it rather than using an orange-peel grapple. This way, we avoid contaminating the various types of ferrous scrap in each load. Our biggest maintenance items, in fact, are the magnets. The way we use them, to sweep through piles means the ‘whips’ get frayed and need repairs. But there have been no major issues with our Sennebogen, just routine preventative maintenance at the regular intervals.”

Richard Adamo and his team feel a little irked that they did not bring purpose-built material handlers into their demolition business sooner than they did. Adamo is the third-generation president of Detroit-based Adamo Group, which has been a leader in the demolition industry for more than 50 years, taking on large decommissioning projects throughout the United States and Canada. But he still shakes his head ruefully at the days before he began building his fleet of Sennebogen material handlers to extract scrap metal from demolition debris and to load the material into trucks and barges. With the new equipment, Adamo has created a valuable new revenue stream, increased loading and logistics efficiency and even improved relations with landfill operators. All of this used to be unrealized revenue to Adamo Demolition.

Unrealized Revenue Like most demolition contractors, Adamo was accustomed to using specially-equipped long-reach excavators to tear down structures and then machines with a grapple followed up to pick through and load the debris for disposal. It was in 2004 that the firm first experimented with attaching a magnet to an excavator to pull out rebar and other ferrous scrap from the piles of rubble. “We were floored by the amount of scrap we were recovering,” Adamo said. At the time, he had a team working on an automotive factory project, with a large volume of metal in the structures. “Look at the recovery we can get — all this material we’ve been sending to the landfill, picked as clean as you can get it.” In one job, metal recovery added significantly in revenue to Adamo’s bottom line. New Way of Maging A short time later, Adamo took advantage of an opportunity to acquire a used material handler and decided to “give it a shot at maging the site.” Maintaining that machine proved to be problematic. However, it demonstrated the advantages of replacing excavators with purpose-built material handlers. It was just a question of finding the right material handler for this application.

This is when Alta Equipment, an equipment dealer in Michigan, connected Adamo with its Sennebogen line-up of material handlers. “I attended an open house at Alta and I saw an 821 M on their lot. I thought ‘That’s really cool. I’m really interested in that machine.’ It’s a good little unit; very mobile; it could suit a specific need.” Support Adamo had two priorities in mind when he saw the 821: mobility and dealer support. With projects scattered across the country, the ability to transport equipment efficiently is a key point in planning. Larger sites also call for machines that travel quickly between work zones under their own power. And, as in any major project, reliability through long operating shifts is essential to meet deadlines. “Sennebogen made a great decision when they partnered up with Alta,” said Adamo. “The dealer support is through the roof. We have had no issues with downtime or parts availability. We rely on factory-certified technicians for all our equipment service. Alta works well with our dealers in other regions to give us a strong support network. We used to have our own certified mechanics on our staff but they could only take it so far before they had to call the dealer. Now Alta supplies the techs as we need them

through an ‘onsite’ labor agreement.” Mobile, Productive Adamo is just as pleased with the other machines that Alta has supplied. He purchased an 825 M soon after seeing his first 821, then larger 830 M models were added for new projects. “I’m pretty critical of equipment,” he said. “Our excavators were challenging at times to move. The 825 is night and day better.” Each of these models, up to the 830, can simply drive themselves on and off a lowboy to transport with greater ease, according to the manufacturer. The firm was recognized by the NDA for its work in Detroit to clear its blight of abandoned homes. At the peak of the program, Adamo took down more than 1,400 homes in less than three months. Adamo describes that program as a unique project. “Each house is a job. It calls for significant resources for continual management. We had to move quickly and we able to get it done with no complaints from the neighbors.” Effortless Reliability One 830 spent more than three years on a major industrial project in Muskingum, Ohio. “We had no problems in all that time —

Bigger Machines for Bigger Jobs The fleet was expanded recently to include even larger material handlers. A Sennebogen 840 M was acquired for a power plant project in Ohio, where barge loading operations required a heavier machine with longer reach. The laydown area is located near the barge facility, a considerable distance from the demolished structures on the site. Using a 67 in. lifting magnet, the 840 loads off-road trucks with the recovered material, which delivers the scrap to the laydown area. Once enough material is accumulated, the 840 is driven to the river to fill the barge. When it’s not loading trucks, the 840 continues maging out the debris piles. According to Adamo, due to Sennebogen’s elevating Maxcab his operators also appreciate the visibility they get, looking into the barges. “I always get good feedback from the operators; they just raise the cab and go to work. The machine doesn’t stop.” Unexpected Rewards The maging application gets unexpected kudos from landfill operators as well. As Adamo explained, the concrete material from their projects is commonly used as “hard fill” to cover the service roads in landfill sites. However, scrap metals mixed into the waste frequently takes a toll in flat tires for trucks on those roadways. For more information, visit www.sennebogen.com/en/. 

Soosan America Takes Different Rock Drilling Approach Just because technology makes it possible to automate a system, doesn’t mean that the system will function better automated. The current trend in the drilling industry is to mimic the automotive makers in attempting to automate every function in a rock drill. While automation will suit a few applications, the majority of rock drilling projects require operators and blasters with experience and skill to complete the tasks at hand. Electronics offer users digital displays and measurements that are helpful to the operator, but not always necessary. These electronic components are especially susceptible to the oils, grease and extreme vibration associated with the drilling process, yet many drill manufactures continue to add more and more of the fragile systems to their equipment. Failure of these digital systems can lead to extended down time and lost production for systems that are many times not even required for the drill to function effectively. Soosan America of Louisville, Ky., takes a different approach to drilling. All functions are kept as simple as possible. The simplified systems in the Rock Commander drills are more reliable and easier to maintain with the bare minimum of electronics, according to the company. These simple systems reduce down time and increase the profit margin at the end of the day. Most problems can be addressed over the phone with input from the operator and troubleshooting experts in Louisville, Ky. Parts can be sent out the same day with next day delivery almost anywhere in the United States. “The moto at Soosan America is ‘Keep It Simple’. We believe when it comes to drilling rock ‘the smartest thing in the drill should be the operator,’” the company said. For more information, call 502/244-0004 or visit soosanamerica.com and rockdrills.net. 

ITB to help us amplify our message on the positive impact infrastructure construction jobs have on the nation’s economy,” said AED’s President and CEO Brian McGuire. “Strong and long-lasting federal infrastructure funding will also jump-start the postpandemic recovery through well-paying jobs.” 

The estimated cost of the 724-ft. bridge is approximately $42 million to $46 million.

BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. (AP) Construction bids are being taken for a proposed second bridge over the Colorado River that would connect Bullhead City, Ariz., and Laughlin, Nev. The Mohave Valley Daily News reported that the invitation to bid required an agreement with the Nevada Department of Transportation to be approved by the Clark County board of commissioners, which occurred in January. Clark County District A Commissioner Michael Naft, who represents the town of Laughlin, said the proposed 724-ft. bridge is important for public safety and the long-term economic growth of the area. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $42 million to $46 million. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and Clark County agreed to provide nearly $22 million. The NDOT-Clark County agreement stated that other costs for the project are expected to total more than $29 million with almost $22 million coming in federal funding. The tentative overall cost would be about $52 million using the dollar amounts in that agreement, according to the Daily News. The bid invitation states the project will be constructed to have four “ultimate” lanes and a 10-ft. wide multi-use path.

Nevada will build 3.5-mi. of road connecting the bridge on the Nevada side to Needles Highway in Laughlin. “The potential for accidents and emergencies to close the existing bridge are serious concerns and increasing traffic volumes can turn the current bridge into a bottleneck,” said Naft. “The new bridge will address both of these issues while taking advantage of the federal dollars allocated for this project.” Bullhead City will share costs to maintain the new bridge. The city also paid more than $3 million for the extension of Bullhead Parkway that will link the bridge to the Arizona side. “The community has been waiting more than 20 years for the construction of the second bridge,” Bullhead City Manager Toby Cotter said. The first bridge linking the two communities was paid for by Don Laughlin and connects Highways 95 and 68 in Arizona with Highway 163 in Nevada. It cost Laughlin about $3 million and was completed in 1987. Since then, more than 600 million people have traveled that fourlane bridge. Drivers had to use a ferry boat to cross the river or travel over Davis Dam to go from one community to the other — a round trip of about 12 mi. 

Diesel Gives Its Best Practices for Trouble-Free Winter in Cold Weather The best solution to cold weather diesel starting problems is to avoid them by being prepared for cold weather before it happens. Diesel engines are harder to start in cold weather because they depend on high temperatures created by compression to ignite the injected fuel. In fact, it is five times harder to start a diesel engine at 0 F (minus 17 C) than it is to start one at 80 F (26 C). The top reasons for this are gelled fuel, cold cylinder walls and electrical failure. There are, of course, many others but addressing these three is a good place to start getting ready for winter. Fuel • Do use winter blended fuel, which is less likely to gel. • Do store full portable fuel cans in a temperature-controlled area to avoid condensation. • Do drain the water from the fuel filter daily, preferably when the machine is shut down for the day so the water does not sit in the filter overnight. • Don’t forget to drain the water separator on fuel storage tanks every day. • Do fill fuel tanks at the end of the working day, as a full tank doesn’t leave room for water to condense overnight. • Don’t neglect the fuel filter, it’s the most common place for fuel to gel. • Do change the fuel filter before winter weather sets in. That makes it less likely to freeze and avoids the need to do the job in the cold. • Do keep a spare fuel filter and/or water separator on hand. It’s often easier to replace a frozen one than it is to thaw it. • Do park equipment in a sheltered location whenever possible. A heated shelter is best, but simply parking where the wind can’t blow snow and ice into the engine can make a big difference when starting. Other Important Fluids Engine Oil • Do switch to a lighter weight engine oil during cold weather. A cold engine needs adequate lubrication, especially when it’s started. • Don’t use engine oil lighter than the engine manufacturer recommends as it may not provide adequate lubrication when the engine is hot. Coolant • Do check your coolant regularly with a hydrometer. The glycol in your coolant is there for a reason, it doesn’t boil off and it lowers the freezing temperature of the mixture. • Don’t top off the coolant with plain water. Make sure to use a proper water/glycol mix every time. You do not want water to freeze in your engine or radiator. • Do pay attention to temperature gauges and avoid overcooling, which can be caused by long periods of idling or excessive airflow. Overcooling can cause poor combustion leading to white smoke, increased fuel consumption and inefficient aftertreatment system performance. Diesel Exhaust Fluid • Don’t store diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at below freezing temperatures. DEF is approximately 50 percent water and will freeze. • Don’t worry about DEF in the tank on the machine, the

system automatically circulates engine coolant to thaw it so it’s ready for use when the machine warms up. Cold Engines • Do inspect and, if necessary, change glow plugs and air inlet heaters before cold weather sets in. It’s another job more easily done in warmer temperatures. • Do consider using a block heater if one is installed or installing an aftermarket unit. A warm engine is much easier to start and avoids many of the issues related to cold weather operation. • Don’t use starting fluid unless the engine is equipped with a factory installed kit that precisely controls the amount used. Simply spraying starting fluid into the air cleaner carries a high risk of causing a fire or even an explosion. Electrical Systems • Don’t ignore your battery. After a hot summer that encourages corrosion and fluid evaporation the added strain of cold weather starts can kill a battery. A battery can lose 35 percent of its power at 32 F (0 C) and as much as 60 percent at 0 F (minus 18 C). • Do consider using a battery warmer, either a “hot plate” type that slides under the battery or an “electric blanket” type that wraps around the battery will help the battery retain its charge. Some Other Considerations Parasitic Loads Parasitic loads can include: engine and transmission oil viscosity, fan drive, clutch engagement, hydraulic pump engagement, belt drive systems and anything else that’s driven by the engine or consumes engine power. Any parasitic load during cranking can be a major contributor to the engines in-ability to start. Warm Up Time Always let a cold engine warm up for at least 5 minutes before putting it to work. That gives the coolant, engine oil, hydraulic oil and DEF time to come up to operating temperature so they can function efficiently. Conclusion Diesel engine builders know their products will be used in virtually every environmental condition found on Earth and they go to great lengths to test them under extreme conditions. Perkins, for example, has completed billions of hours of engine tests across different environments, including cold testing at a Perkins facility in Arjeplog, Sweden, 100km from the arctic circle where temperatures drop to minus 49 F (minus 45 C). A modern diesel will start and run under extreme conditions with very few issues, but ignoring those issues can be expensive. Proactive preventive action may seem like an extra expense or time spent on something that isn’t a problem — now — but it makes economic sense in the long run. The consequences of ignoring winter diesel issues can range from losing all or part of a day’s work to repairing expensive engine damage. Simple steps like keeping your fuel tanks and cans filled, plugging in heaters, using weather-appropriate fuels, strategic equipment parking and regular battery care can all make a big difference in how winter impacts your business. 

Experts Offer Strategies, Tips to Reduce Jobsite Injuries SAFETY from page 1

noted the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP). In fact, the various employers on a project can be cited for OSHA violations at the job site. OSHA defines a multi-employer site as a workplace where full-time, part-time, temporary or contract employees report to different employers working together on site. Many large-scale construction projects with teams of general contractors and subs are perfect examples of multi-employer job sites, noted IndustrySafe. “Multi-employer sites can complicate regulatory compliance,” blogged the construction industry safety management software provider. That can “make it difficult for employers and workers to understand their specific safety responsibilities,” according to the Philadelphia, Pa., company. Multi-employer construction projects require a higher level of managing people, machines and materials for the sake of efficiency and safety. Construction and demolition operations must be well planned and executed with all bases covered. “Risks on construction and demolition sites are dynamic and continuously evolve as conditions, technologies and participants change,” said John Johnson, CSP. Chair of the A10 standards committee, Johnson believes enhanced safety is achieved when the entire project hierarchy — owner to craft worker — engages in an identified safety process. The rise in fatal work injuries worries Deborah Roy, ASSP president. The BLS reported that 5,333 fatal work injuries occurred in 2019, a 2 percent increase from the previous year’s total of 5,250. This marks the fifth time in the past six years that fatal occupational injuries increased, Roy said. “With many safety advancements readily available to employers nationwide, it’s troubling that we’re continuing to see higher numbers,” she said. She encouraged employers to adopt voluntary consensus standards that promote best practices and prevent worker injuries, illnesses and deaths. “Most occupational incidents are preventable given today’s technologies and proven safety and health strategies,” said Roy. While OSHA sets workplace safety standards, safety-minded organizations implement voluntary consensus standards because of their merit. ASSP believes consensus standards reflect diverse viewpoints and represent state-of-theart practices and technologies. They also address gaps where no regulato-

ry standard exists in today’s rapidly changing environment. “Voluntary national consensus standards can transform safety programs from compliance-based cost centers to corporate sustainability initiatives,” said Roy. These initiatives can “save lives and positively impact the organization’s bottom line,” she added. Playing It Safe Multi-contractor projects require “a clear approach to managing,” said Brad Kelechava, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) marketing manager. As Kelechava noted, the United States construction industry employs more than seven million people and annually generates $1.3 trillion worth of structures. Depending on their size, construction projects can involve several contractors performing tasks side by side. Safety risks that can result from lack of coordination and communication among contractors on a job site can be dangerous and costly. “Construction projects unfortunately can influence an assortment of issues resulting from a lack of coordination among the employers,” said Kelechava. “Uncertainty surrounding the terms and conditions of employment among the various groups of workers engaged in the project” also can cause problems, he wrote. The new standard emphasizes that worker safety can be achieved when the entire project hierarchy, from the owner to craft worker, engages in the safety initiative. For multi-employer operations, the standard outlines minimum safety and health guidelines to provide a safe and healthy work environment. This “while accomplishing cost-effective construction and avoiding undesirable occurrences and even injuries,” said Kelechava. The standard addresses uncertainty within multi-contractor operations by defining the

duties and responsibilities of employees and other responsible parties. This includes owner/client/manager responsibilities, contractor qualifications and competent persons. It also specifies the placement of these individuals in the project safety and health plan. “In addition, the document defines a senior project supervisor … as well as senior contractor supervisors, who are designated by each contractor,” said Kelechava. The senior project supervisor has final authority and responsibility for the project safety and health plan. The supervisors are notified for corrective action. The standard assists project owners, construction supervisors, contractors and equipment manufacturers. ASSP published the new standard as secretariat for the ANSI/ASSP A10 committee. The committee’s focus is on safety requirements for construction and demolition operations. Avoiding Worksite Violations IndustrySafe offers tips to help multiple employers coordinate safety efforts on the job site. Safety incidents “can grind operations to a halt and damage businesses’ reputations,” according to the company’s blog. Carefully screen contractors whenever possible. Double-check work histories, incident rates and safety policies. “Ideally, before you put the contract out for bid, any potential bidders should complete a

pre-qualification process,” blogged IndustrySafe. Does a bidding contractor have a history of incidents or safety violations at similar work sites? Have they received citations from OSHA at some point in the past? “Asking these questions ahead of time will help you keep unsafe practices away from your projects,” wrote the blogger. Develop a master safety plan for your project. While each employer will bring their own safety plans, a master plan should be developed for consistency. The document should outline safety performance objectives, each employer’s responsibilities and communication and reporting strategies. The plan should also clearly set the frequency and scope of site inspections and incident reporting procedures. It also should outline safety observation schedules and required training courses, according to the IndustrySafe blog. “All components of the master plan can then be incorporated into employers’ individual safety plans,” according to IndustrySafe. Discuss safety in advance. Address every potential hazard with contractors and subs before work begins or new parties enter the site of work in progress. IndustrySafe noted that this practice gives each employer a chance to identify issues others may have missed and improve safety management. Conduct multi-employer training. Collaborate with contractors and subs to make sure everyone is on the same page. Coordinate mandatory training sessions and safety meetings as a group before work begins, especially if the work involves different training requirements. “This ensures that all workers receive consistent instruction and information about the hazards on site,” according to IndustrySafe. “To track compliance, organize your training efforts and records using a Web-based training management system, and encourage other contractors to do the same.” Set clear hazard reporting procedures. All employees must understand how to report safety hazards encountered on the job. Using a hazard reporting program, they can easily document hazards, attach photos and notify team members so the problem can be corrected quickly. At the end of the day, strong workplace cultures coupling management and employees with safety and health climates must become a priority, ASSP’s Roy said. Like the construction industry, ASSP “will continue to push for better protection of workers to ensure that everyone returns home safe to their families every day,” she said.  CEG

Tree Service Finds Stability With Black Splitter S2 800 Out on the Limb Tree Service LLC has built up a large contingent of trucks and equipment over its 21 years in business, but the acquisition of a Black Splitter S2 800 cone splitter from Ransome Attachments in 2018 has brought a new level of versatility to this tree service operation. The company provides a range of services including tree removal, pruning, chipping, and stump grinding to residential, commercial, and government customers within a 35-mi. radius of its Seymour, Conn., headquarters. “We have land clearing guys with shears, but we didn’t have an excavator large enough to bust up big wood,” Owner Adam Lieder said. “We looked at other avenues that would allow us to process some of our bigger wood into more manageable pieces.” The landscaper found the Black Splitter through an internet search. After making a positive connection with owner Eric Ransome, the company was convinced that the S2 800 was the right fit for its machine and operation. Out on the Limb’s previous process needed improvement, according to Lieder. “We were basically cutting it down to firewood size and putting it on the log splitter.” The S2 800 is designed to fit all sizes of compact excavators, but Out on the Limb has it mounted on a Bobcat E45 mini excavator. A quick coupler allows for a quick switch between machines as needed. The Black Splitter can usually be found processing wood in the company’s yard, or in tow on a trailer to a local work site. Most onsite removals and cuts are done with a rotating grapple, but Out on the Limb often uses the Black Splitter to breakdown larger, gnarlier trees and stumps. Seymour and surrounding towns are heavily wooded with an abundance of mature trees so Out on the Limb often takes down and disposes of large, off-size timber. Logs under 8 ft. cannot be sold, and yet they’re also too large to dispose of easily. “With the Black Splitter, we can take these large, knotty sections, bust them down into a manageable size, chip it, and sell the chips,” he said. “We can also break down six-footers into four sections and drop it off at someone’s house for a pack of cheap firewood.” The S2 800 is in its glory back at the yard when processing and feeding wood to a Morbark 20/36 whole tree drum chipper. The crew usually sorts garbage wood and logs into separate piles and begins breaking The Black Splitter S2 800 cone splitter Out on the Limb Tree them down when the mound gets too large. Service acquired from Ransome Attachments in 2018 has “When we’re in processing mode, we throw the brought a new level of versatility to its tree service operation. Black Splitter on and hammer down,” said Lieder.

The increased productivity is noticeable but the greater value for Out on the Limb is in being able to turn once unusable materials into a new revenue stream. “We’re taking byproducts that we couldn’t do anything with and turning them into a usable product,” Lieder said. Out on the Limb re-grinds wood chips and dyes them to make mulch. The finished product is sold to commercial customers and given to homeowners for free because there is no demand for the chips with the abundance of trees in this part of Connecticut. “These chips are usable product to somebody somewhere, and they’re easy to get rid of because homeowners like them,” he said. “Now I can keep Joe Smith happy because he gets a free load of wood chips and I don’t have to look at this big, gnarly piece of pine that I have no use for.” Lieder said his crews deal with virtually every type of northeastern tree including Pine, Oak, Ash, Hickory, Maple, Spruce and Hemlock. Out on the Limb has not encountered any wood that the Black Splitter could not handle, but they find Hickory to be the most challenging because of its stringiness. In these cases, the excavator operator simply engages the spinning motion of the S2 800 and sweeps between the log sections to break the strands. Out on the Limb’s use of the Black Splitter is sporadic. “We don’t run the S2 800 every day, but a few weeks ago we ran it for a week straight,” Lieder said. “I couldn’t even tell you how many hundreds of yards of wood chips we produced.” The S2 800 also helps with a trend among homeowners that’s resulting in increased processing for Out on the Limb. Homeowners in decades past often asked for firewood to be left on site, as opposed to today’s homeowners that want everything hauled away. This means less time in the field breaking down wood and cleaning up sawdust and more time hauling and processing it. “It’s cheaper for us to just haul it offsite and try to figure out something later than it is to sit there and cut up firewood and sawdust in someone’s yard,” Lieder said. “It’s a win-win because I don’t have to clean up sawdust in the yard and we’re making a bad byproduct into good byproduct, which is obviously the number one goal.” Lieder sees the possibility of buying a larger excavator and Black Splitter model in the future. “If we keep on growing, we’ll probably add another bigger Black Splitter and keep on doing what we’re doing,” he said. “It seems to be working.” 

ups, includes heavy-duty springs specific to each configuration and an up-rated alternator to deal with heavy electrical loads. According to a study conducted by the Snow and Ice Management Association and Wolfworx/Singer Consulting,

clearing the white stuff is an $18 billion industry in the United States, one growing at a rate of about 3 percent annually. It’s comprised of more than 22,000 commercial contractors and more than 75,000 sole proprietors. 2019 SIMA survey data indicates F-Series is the overwhelming choice, with nearly 50 percent of market share in an industry that values reliability, service network and, of course, rated plow weight. Owners also will appreciate other new features such as a windshield wiper de-icer, which pre- heats the windshield under the wipers to keep blades free of ice, as well as available heated steering wheel and heated front and rear seats. Optional white or amber LED strobe lights on XL, XLT or Lariat series trucks take a step out of the upfitting process. Deep Snow/Sand drive mode is available on models equipped with the all-new 10-speed heavy-duty TorqShift automatic transmission. The special drive mode changes throttle mapping and traction control settings to allow for added control and greater confidence in snowy or slick conditions. Plow operators can rely on the quality and craftsmanship of a high-strength steel boxed frame and high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body that provide a sturdy backbone. Customers have a choice of engines, including a standard 6.2-L gas V8, an available all-new 7.3-L gas V8 with 430 hp and 475 lb.-ft. of torque and an available thirdgeneration 6.7-L Power Stroke diesel V8 with 475 hp and 1,050 lb.-ft. of torque. Ford F-Series Super Duty is built at Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Ky., and Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Trucks are shipping to dealers now. 

Security Paving Company Inc. Delivers SR 57 Upgrades Construction crews from Security Paving Company Inc. are on schedule to complete construction on the $99.8 million SR 57 Lambert Road Interchange Improvements project in the city of Brea, Calif., (northern Orange County) to improve traffic flow and prepare for future highway infrastructure construction to help freight travel. The project will provide safe mobility for local residents; improve the operational performance of the interchange; enhance capacity; and relieve congestion. It also will enable future construction of the SR 57 northbound truck climbing lane between Lambert Road and the Orange and Los Angeles county lines. Pedestrians and bicycle travel will be enhanced to facilitate non-vehicle travel that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The scope of the initiative is extensive — the reconfiguration of ramps, including construction of a loop on-ramp at the southeast quadrant; modify the northbound and southbound ramps; add 0.4 mi. of auxiliary lanes on southbound mainlines; widen Lambert Road and lower the profile to provide 15-ft. standard vertical clearance for the Lambert Road under-crossing; and widen the northbound Lambert Road under-crossing bridge to accommodate the future truckclimbing lane project. The Lambert Road project widens the highway from three lanes to four lanes on both the eastbound and westbound directions for 0.3 mi. The work involves both concrete and asphalt pavement at different locations within the job site. Construction began in July 2019 and is proceeding on schedule and budget in partnership with city of Brea and Caltrans. The project is expected to be completed approximately one year from now.

Minnkota Turns To Felling for Transportation Solution Minnkota Power Cooperative is an electric generation and transmission company headquartered in Grand Forks, N.D. It was formed in 1940 and now covers 34,500 sq. mil providing wholesale electric energy to 11 member-owned distribution cooperatives located in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. The co-op needed to replace an antiquated mechanical detachable gooseneck semitrailer for its fleet, and Fleet Supervisor Keith Millette looked to Felling Trailers to fill this need. The detachable gooseneck would be primarily utilized for hauling transformers weighing 85 to 100k, but also would be a multipurpose unit, transporting payloaders and forklifts as needed. Millette worked with Felling Trailers’ sale representative Laurie Engle to configure the trailer build. The result was an XF-110-3 HDG-L (low) 55-ton hydraulic detach built to their spec, equipped with booster/stinger to compensate for the needed load transfer when hauling transformers. “The features most important to us were the hydraulic detachable gooseneck [vs. the mechanical], the low deck design [19.5 in. loaded, 6 in. ground clearance], and the ability to build the trailer to our specifications,”

said Millette. A hydraulic gooseneck is safer to use as the neck can be raised to allow the truck fifth wheel to attach without having to pick up the main deck in the process as you would with a mechanical gooseneck, according to the manufacturer. Other advantages of the hydraulic vs. mechanical gooseneck include a quicker detach/attach of the gooseneck in rough, uneven or wet terrain, and the hydraulic gooseneck can be raised or lowered to change the front deck height for ground clearance or overhead obstructions. The XF-110-3 HDG-L has a full-load

with an electric start. Minnkota Power Cooperative’s fleet consists of 106 trailers, with approximately 60 of them Felling Trailers and 160 units. “We have been a Felling customer for 20 years. We choose Felling Trailers because they are well built and hold up to the rugged use needed for our company’s line of work. When we do our annual trailer inspections year after year, Felling requires the least amount of repairs compared to other trailer manufacturers we use,” said Millette.

R.D. Offutt Company Moves to New Downtown Fargo Office Building R.D. Offutt Company moved into a new downtown Field Support Office (FSO) on Feb. 1. The company will occupy floors one through five of the recently completed mixed-use RDO Building on the corner of Broadway and 3rd Ave N. in Fargo, N.D. R.D Offutt Company is a family owned and operated company comprised of business entities that includes RDO Equipment Co., a network of equipment dealerships with more than 75 locations across nine states. The company sells and supports equipment from manufacturing partners including John Deere, Vermeer, Topcon and Wirtgen. Its most recent addition is the full-service equipment, parts and service location in Dayton, Minn., which opened last May. The FSO’s modern workplace design was inspired by an RDO core value of partnering with employees and involved a working group of team members throughout the design process. At the center of the design philosophy was the notion of collaboration. The entire space was designed to promote formal and informal interactions between team members. Most notably, the fifth floor of the new building is designed as an open floorplan. The office will eventually bring nearly 400 R.D. Offutt Company team members, previously spread across four locations in Fargo-Moorhead, under one roof. Short-term, however, occupancy will be limited to no more than 50 percent capacity in accordance with company COVID-19 protocols.

“This single space for our field support teams will support our already collaborative and fast-paced culture,” said Tim Curoe, R.D. Offutt Company CEO. “Beyond that, the new office is a testament to the Offutt family’s and RDO’s commitment to our community, our team members and the industries we serve. It’s a milestone we are incredibly proud of as a company and as individuals.” Several building features were added to ensure team member safety amid the COVID-19 environment, including a deionization air filtration system, no-touch sink operations and door handles operable with arms instead of hands. The Offutt family selected the downtown location for the company’s new office as an investment, not only in the future of the company, but also in Fargo and its downtown urban core. R.D. Offutt Company’s origins date back more than 50 years, when founder Ron Offutt started his business as a local potato farmer. The company has since grown to include business interests in farming, food, and equipment sales and service around the country and internationally, yet Fargo has remained the company’s hub and primary business location. “Fargo has been and continues to be a great community for our family and our business,” said Christi Offutt, board chair of R.D. Offutt Company. The building project broke ground in September 2018 and was a collaborative partnership between R.D. Offutt Company and Kilbourne Group. 

Diversified Launches New RailWise Brand to Market Diversified Product Development has established the RailWise brand to accommodate its growing line of products for the hirail market. The new brand encompasses several of Diversified’s existing hirail products and will help clarify the company’s focus as it expands its rail industry solutions offering. Established hirail maintenance products within the RailWise brand include a platform truck system, a bucket truck system, a rail brake system and a trailer axle system. All of these have been engineered to help make railway maintenance projects more manageable and efficient. Products may be customized to meet customer specifications upon request. “We believe that the rail industry is growing and specialized equipment is needed to perform exact maintenance tasks more effi-

ciently,” said Noah Gutierrez, director of sales of Diversified. “We have been engineering specialized equipment solutions for a broad client base since 1996, and it makes sense for us to dedicate the new RailWise brand to help solve some of the unique chal-

lenges of this demanding industry.” The RailWise name joins a list of other specialized brands marketed by Diversified Product Development, including the LineWise brand of lineman tools; the LiftWise brand of fall-arrest man baskets; and the DesignWise brand of fully integrated product design and development services.
