Alaska Looks to Honor Black Soldiers Who Built Highway JUNEAU, ALASKA (AP) Alaska state lawmakers are considering the creation of a holiday to honor the contributions of more than 4,000 black soldiers who endured harsh conditions while building the Alaska Highway during World War II. The road is the only one linking the state to the continental U.S. and the holiday would be celebrated on Oct. 25. That is the date in 1942 when the black troops who started building the road in the Fairbanks area met up with white soldiers who began their work far to the south. State Sen. David Wilson sponsored the legislation that has drawn support from 16 other state senators as co-sponsors, KTOOFM reported. The road’s construction was a first step toward integrating the military in 1948, experts said. “Because of what these soldiers did in 1942 in Alaska in all the harsh conditions, on

July the 26th, 1948, then President Truman declared all military would be integrated,” said Jean Pollard, who works with the Alaska Highway Memorial Project. Many people including Alaska residents are unaware of the contribution of the black soldiers, Pollard said. “I’m a retired educator, and I had graduated from high school here and college here and never had heard that story this way,” Pollard said. Former soldier Reginald Beverly, who turned 102 this month and lives in Virginia, was among the black soldiers who helped build the highway. “I would like to say thank you for honoring the soldiers who worked on the Alcan Highway,” he said in a call to lawmakers.

Colorado DOT Could Receive $375M Komatsu Expands Annually If Senate Passes Roads Bill Mining Business, Acquires Joy Global DENVER (AP) Colorado’s Democrat-led House has passed a transportation bill over objections from Republicans who oppose a proposed state sales tax hike. Other Republican lawmakers demanded transparency in what will be built with the $3.5 billion in bonds that the bill would finance.

Four Republicans did join Democrats in sending the bill to the Senate by a 41-24 vote. The bill would, in part, ask voters to raise the state sales tax from 2.9 percent to 3.5 percent. The Colorado Department of Transportation would get $375 million a year for 20 years for new projects. Republican Rep. Polly Lawrence

Work Progresses on Denver Area’s I-25, Arapahoe Road DENVER from page 1

Partnerships (RAMP) funding program along with federal and local sources. Along with reconstructing the I-25 bridge over Arapahoe Road, crews will provide improvements to Arapahoe Road. It will continue to have three through lanes in each direction under the bridge, but piers that divided Arapahoe Road traffic are being removed. Instead, there will be a single barrier separating east and west traffic. Workers will realign the frontage road in the northeast quadrant of the interchange; construct an additional westbound through lane on Arapahoe Road from Clinton Court to Clinton Street on the east side of I-25; construct noise walls along Yosemite Street south of Arapahoe Road to Xanthia Street and along the south side of Arapahoe Road from Uinta Street to Yosemite Street; and construct a continuous acceleration and deceleration lane on Arapahoe Road from the northbound off-ramp to Clinton Street. A turn lane will be added for drivers switching from westbound Arapahoe Road to the northbound I-25 onramp. CDOT contracted with David Evans and Associates/Hartwig & Associates architectural team to complete the project design. David Evans and Associates has a Denver office.

Trump’s Rollback of Coal Rules Electrifies Wyoming Workers TRUMP from page 1

bigger and better than ever” due to clean-coal technology and overseas exports. But the skepticism expressed by many economists and energy experts throughout the campaign has not eased. They said the global coal market has little room for additional coal from Wyoming and especially from Appalachia, where mines are not just scaling back but closing altogether. Nationwide, the coal industry has shed some 60,000 jobs, or more than 40 percent of its nonoffice workforce, since 2011. “Utilities are just staying away from coal. So that hasn’t changed. That didn’t change after the election, and it hasn’t changed since the executive order,” said Rob Godby, director of the Center for Energy Economics and Public Policy at the University of Wyoming. “The problem is that with the stroke of a pen, the president can’t change market conditions very easily.” Academics with doctorates aren’t dampening Gillette’s newfound optimism for Trump’s order. “I think it’s freaking great,” said

Scott Baysinger, operations manager of Baysinger Trucking, which supplies dump trucks and other heavy machinery to the coal industry. “Last year was a horrible year for us. This year already is better. We’ve been better all year long.” Last year, in fact, was the worst for U.S. coal production since 1978. Utilities continued to switch to cheaper and cleaner-burning natural gas to generate electricity, and the cost of wind and solar energy continued to decline. Around here, President Barack Obama’s regulations got much of the blame. Trump reaped the benefit, winning Wyoming and another coal state, West Virginia, by his widest margins in the nation. Within Wyoming, Trump won biggest in Campbell County, which includes Gillette. On March28, he repaid the favor by announcing he would review Obama’s Clean Power Plan and lift the 14-month-old coal leasing moratorium. Stacey Moeller, a shovel operator at Peabody Energy’s Caballo Mine, said the changes will put coal back on a level playing field after Obama tipped it in favor of

renewable energy for eight years. “That’s all I ever thought was fair, was that we would be allowed to compete in the market,” she said. “And that’s what I felt was being taken away from us.” The federal government owns nearly all of the coal reserves in the Powder River Basin and leases them to companies to mine. Even before the Obama moratorium, market forces had all but halted new leasing. To many, the measure seemed like insult on top of injury. Last year, around 500 miners were laid off as several large mining companies went through bankruptcy. Whether Arch Coal, Peabody or Contura Energy rehire all those workers or resume significant leasing remains to be seen. The companies have not announced any major new projects yet. But business is already brightening at some of the heavy machinery dealerships that line a Gillette road where they sell excavators, bulldozers, forklifts and other equipment to the mines. The perk-up began the day after the election, when a couple of customers placed orders to complete

projects they would have abandoned if Democrat Hillary Clinton had won, said Richard Chafee, general manager of Jack’s Truck & Equipment. “You talk about consumer confidence,” Chafee said with a chuckle. “We've had very good consumer confidence here last three months.” Still, the coal critics aren’t limited to scientists and scholars. On the Turner Crest Ranch, greyishorange clouds from mine blasting appear on the horizon like clockwork. Ranchers Karen and L.J. Turner have little good to say about Black Thunder and the other huge mines near their place, which they blame for their creeks and wells running dry. “I think all these people that are hanging on for dear life to their coal mining jobs ought to, you know, see the writing on the wall and say, ‘OK, what can I do?’ Something else,” said Karen Turner, who like her husband is a lifelong Democrat. Economists tend to agree, pointing out that the cost of renewables will continue to decline and their appeal will continue to grow along

with global interest in reducing greenhouse gases. The prospect of low-carbon coal, meanwhile, remains far off, even as Wyoming and other states team up on a carbon-capture lab under construction at a power plant near Gillette. Exporting coal to the Far East does not much promise either, Godby said, in part because Trump has threatened to slap tariffs on imports from China, South Korea, Japan and other countries that might want to use Powder River Basin coal. “If he does that, I think it’s pretty fair to expect that they would do a tit-for-tat tariff strategy,” he said. And coal could be among the commodities that get “hit directly.” For now, the election continues to send good vibes through the community. After Trump’s victory, the mood of the town was “just electric,” the mayor recalled. “You went into the restaurants, they were busy, bustling. People were happy. There’s a lot to be said for hope.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Advances of Vögele MT 3000-2i Increase Productivity The Vögele MT 3000-2i Offset PowerFeeder for the North American market is a powerful, innovative material transfer vehicle which provides uninterrupted, non-contacting transfer of asphalt mix, guaranteeing the maximum paving quality with the greatest possible cost efficiency, according to the manufacturer. With a large receiving hopper, a huge total storage capacity (material feeder and paver), and a peak conveying performance of 1,320 tons (1,200 t) per hour, this Vögele PowerFeeder can empty a full truckload in just 60 seconds. The conveyor of the MT 3000-2i Offset pivots to the left and right, opening up a wide range of possible applications. Its ErgoPlus operating system guarantees simple, reliable handling. Automatic distance control — combined with anticollision protection — eliminates the possibility of machine contact and ensures smooth transfer. Pivoting and Inclining Conveyor for High Versatility Pivoting 55 degrees to the left or right, the conveyor is a key factor behind the versatility of the MT 3000-2i Offset. The MT 3000-2i Offset powerfeeder combines quality with safety and cost-efficiency.

ing transfer and provides a clean and uniform flow. Tensioning cylinders guiding the rubber belt ensure center alignment of the belt. A smart automatic system accurately adjusts the belt tension as required. Innovative diesel heating keeps the conveyor at a consistent temperature to prevent the material from sticking.

The material conveying system counteracts thermal as well as mechanical segregation.

The maximum distance from the outside edge of the material feeder to the center of the discharge point is 11 ft. 6 in. (3.5 m). The conveyor also can be raised by up to 23 degrees from the horizontal to a discharge height of 12 ft. 9 in. (3.9 m). This allows the machine to be used in a wide range of applications, enabling high utilization. Pavers can be fed with material from the side, for example, when paving “hot to hot”. Backfilling trenches or filling cavities between safety barriers in highway construction can be done quickly and easily. Paving on shoulders and other hard-to-reach areas also is made easy. Moreover, the conveying concept has

been designed so that other materials such as topsoil, base course material or recycled material can be conveyed, in addition to asphalt. Maximum Conveying Capacity for Non-Stop Paving Due to the high-performance material conveying concept and the receiving hopper holding 15 tons (13.5 t), the MT 3000-2i Offset PowerFeeder can empty a 27.5-ton truck (25 t) in just 60 seconds. When combined with an asphalt paver, as much as 39 tons (35 t) of storage capacity is possible. The trough-shaped conveyor belt centers the material dur-

Material Management as a Success Factor Transverse conical augers homogenize all the material in the feeder’s receiving hopper by mixing the cooler asphalt from the sides with the warmer material from the middle of the hopper. The trough-shaped conveyor belt provides a uniform material flow, ensuring mix quality is maintained in every phase of the material transfer, according to the manufacturer. In order to ensure optimum material management, a specially developed diesel heating system with non-contact infrared panels maintains the correct temperature of the conveyor belt. The path of the material is pre-heated before the transfer of material begins. These technical measures complement each other, so the paving material is in an optimal condition when being placed. Non-Contact Material Feed Process The non-contact transfer of material is one of the key criteria for high paving quality. Decoupling the feeding from the paving process prevents jolts by feed trucks from being see PAVING page 22

transmitted to the paver. A non-contact distance control system ensures the correct space between the paver and the MT 3000-2i Offset, enhancing bonus-winning pavement smoothness. Three laser sensors permanently measure the space between the two machines, so the control system can automatically adjust the speed of the material transfer vehicle to that of the paver. The system also automatically prevents the paver from colliding with the feeder. If the material feeder has to stop unexpectedly, the paver also stops automatically as soon as the distance between the two machines falls below the set minimum. ErgoPlus Operating System The ErgoPlus operating system puts the feeder operator at the heart of things, guaranteeing comfort, safety and excellent visibility at all times, according to the manufacturer. The operator‘s stand — with its streamlined design — is well organized, offering the machine operator a professional workplace and an unobstructed view of all crucial points on the material feeder. The centerpiece is the feeder operator’s console. All the controls required for main and frequent functions are arranged in logical groups. Operation is intuitive and easy to learn. A joystick in the armrests of the two operator seats is used to pivot the proportionally controlled conveyor with the utmost precision and sensitivity. In fact, for the majority of applications only one person is needed to operate the material transfer vehicle. In complex feeding tasks, operation of the pivoting conveyor can be taken over by a second operator. Powerful Drive Technology The Deutz diesel engine delivering 215 hp (160 kW) at 2,000 rpm offers a perfect balance of power and fuel economy. Due to its sophisticated exhaust gas after-treatment, this engine complies with the U.S. Tier IV final emission standard. A fuel-saving ECO mode is available, sufficient for many applications. And even when working in ECO mode, the MT 3000-2i Offset still has a full 200 hp (150 kW) at its disposal. The large fuel tank holds 119 gal. (450 L) for more than a day’s work without a need for refueling.

turn almost on the spot and easily masters difficult terrain with inclines and slopes, according to the manufacturer. Easy Transport Transporting a material transfer vehicle is a cost factor that should not be underestimated. The Vögele PowerFeeder was designed from scratch for optimum transport, and that has a positive impact on costs. The transport height of 10 ft. 2 in. (3.1 m), the transport width of 9 ft. 10 in. (3 m) and the outer track gauge of 8 ft. 9 in. (2.66 m) are dimensioned so the MT 3000-2i Offset can easily be transported on a conventional low-bed trailer. Due to the machine’s low weight of 57,100 lbs. (25,900 kg), the material transfer vehicle is not too heavy for most roads, tunnels and bridges, and can reach its destination without special permits or time-consuming detours.

Its 255T4 Triple Roller Tube Paver

The 255T4 is a high production, triple roller tube paver that is great for concrete streets, parking lots, shoulders, ramps, approaches, airfields and more, according to the manufacturer.

Allen, a leader in site prep and concrete placing and finishing equipment, announced the debut of its newest form riding paver. The 255T4 is a high production, triple roller tube paver that is great for concrete streets, parking lots, shoulders, ramps, approaches, airfields and more, according to the manufacturer.

The Allen 255T4 is a Tier IV Final diesel powered paver that can do the work of larger more expensive pavers in many applications. The pivoting and inclining conveyor is a key factor behind the versatility of the MT 3000-2i Offset PowerFeeder.

The Allen 255T4 is a Tier IV Final diesel powered paver that can do the work of larger more expensive pavers in many applications. This paver is easy to transport and setup due to having a lighter weight than traditional slip-form pavers. The 255T4 also supports our optional gang vibration system which helps properly consolidate the concrete during the paving process. 255T4 standard features include: • 49.5 hp Hatz 4H50TIC (T4F) Diesel engine • Three precision engineered and level-tested roller tubes • Heavy duty sectionalized over-head truss system provides rigidity while allowing easy width changes • Spray system allows fogging of screeding tubes and also useful for quick clean up • Easy-to-use controls make operator training simple For more information, visit www.alleneng.com.

Mobile in Every Way A strong point of the Vögele MT 3000-2i Offset PowerFeeder is its continuous rubber tracks. Due to the large track width of 18 in. (45.7 cm), operating speeds up to 250 fpm (76 m/min) are possible. The large footprint also provides excellent flotation and tractive effort. The powerful, separate drives are integrated directly into the drive wheels of the rubber tracks, meaning that engine output is transmitted without loss of power.

Roddie Plans to Revolutionize Pipe Replacement Industry RODDIE from page 8

Shappell said having Montana Trenchless as the de facto research and development department of Roddie Inc. has allowed the company to test its equipment in the field, then bring it back, talk about what worked and what didn’t, then make changes. For example, the Basement Buddy directional drill had some trouble when it ran into rocks. They needed something more powerful, and the Pit Shot was born. Instead of a sales pitch, Shappell said he just has to talk to potential clients about his work. “I’m telling them about what I do with this machine every day,” he said. “We try and build everything in-house.” Shappell’s brother, Jared Shappell, works as the designer and engineer, and can whip up plans for new parts or equipment. Jared Shappell believes there are about 1,000 to 1,500 parts that Roddie Inc. designs and manufactures in the shop, which, at 11,000 sq. ft., is starting to cramp the burgeoning business. “It’s always fun when you get to build something new,” he said. Herrick said the com-

hour. Roddie equipment is used in Newfoundland, Russia, Hawaii, and all over the contiguous United States. Recently, a Roddie machine was able to drill 600 horizontal ft. (183 m) for an underground project on lines underneath the Space Needle in Seattle instead of digging up ground and hampering the popular tourist attraction. Both Adam Shappell and Herrick said they keep their phones on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ready to assist and troubleshoot for their customers. This responsiveness has earned them praise, and it’s what keeps the company developing new technology. When it expands into its new space, Herrick said the business would likely add employees, including a potential night shift. He and Shappell said they are proud to work for a company that provides good-paying jobs to great employees. “If there were 10 good guys in the Basement Buddy directional drill

The current building has already had two additions and is “bursting at the seams.” While Roddie Inc. continues to churn out the product, Montana Trenchless is busy year-round, Herrick said, because they don’t have to worry about battling the elements. “We can put the drill in the basement and drill on out and do it all underneath that frozen ground,” Herrick said. Most jobs, like sewer line replacements, are finished in a day or a day and a half, and usually sewer service is only disrupted for an

Seward, Alaska...

Hamilton Construction, Hitachi Team Up to Bring Resurrection Bay Back to Life When it comes to extreme jobs, Jeff Hamilton is in his element. Originally from Skagway, Alaska, Hamilton understands what it takes to successfully complete projects in the region’s tough environment. And he uses Hitachi equipment to get the work done. Hamilton owns several businesses providing services to the oilfield, manufacturing, marine, mining, quarry development, and railroad industries. However, marine work has been a major focus for him lately. One of his companies, Hamilton Construction LLC, currently is working on the city of Seward’s $20+ million expansion project for the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC). The SMIC is located on the eastern side of Resurrection Bay and encompasses 15 sq. mi. (38.8 sq km) along the coast with direct access to the Gulf of Alaska and the ice-free port of Seward. Hamilton Construction LLC put its Hitachi excavators to work on Phase One of the high-profile project in fall 2015; the estimated completion is spring 2017. The company dredged 113,000 cu. yds. (86,395 cu m) of material to create a new channel into the SMIC basin from the north, and is placing 260,000 tons (235,868 t) of rock to create a 980-ft. (298.7 m) rubblemound breakwater extending from the existing sheetpile breakwater. The breakwaters together will enclose roughly 35 acres of water once the rubblemound breakwater is complete. Work yet to be completed includes development of the basin, further repairs to the North Dock and added infrastructure. One Rock at a Time Machine reliability and efficiency is critical, and Hamilton Construction LLC had the iron necessary for the SMIC project’s success. “If a machine’s not running, it’s not making money,” Hamilton said. “I’ve gone through a lot of different equipment. I look at potential downtime, repairs and operating costs per hour, and I get the biggest bang for my buck out of Hitachi.” So in fall 2015, the company put its 250,000-lb. (112,000 kg) Hitachi EX1200-6 on the job. The excavator,

After 18 long years, Seward, Alaska, is finally getting the breakwater it needs to be a competitive ice-free marine industrial port. And Hamilton Construction LLC, armed with Hitachi excavators, has accepted the challenging project.

equipped with a stick extension and 5cu.-yd. (3.8 cu m) clamshell, worked relentlessly dredging down 21 ft. below the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) elevation in the harbor to remove approximately 113,000 cu. yds. (86,395 cu m) of material. “The 1200 was really productive, and we were getting two barge loads a day of material,” Hamilton said. With the dredging complete, the EX1200-6 then began building the breakwater. While the breakwater’s core is made of assorted rock and gravel, the outer layer is constructed of armor rock — massive, interlocked 9,000 to 11,000-lb. (4,082 to 4,990 kg) granite boulders — designed to dissipate the ocean’s waves outside the basin. Another one of Hamilton’s companies, Hamilton Marine Construction LLC, is barging the armor rock in from Granite Cove Quarry on Kodiak Island, where the company’s ZX870LC-6 is relentlessly producing the massive boulders. Hamilton Construction LLC switched attachments on the EX1200-6 to a 9-cu.-yd. (6.8 cu m) bucket with a 13,000-lb. (5,897 kg) thumb to do the heavy lifting for the breakwater construction. The machine is placing 2,000 tons (1,814 t) of the armor rock per day, with each rock being tediously placed one at a time to ensure that each stone

is interlocked to create a solid structure. A ZX470LC-5 stays busy in the background feeding material to the EX1200-6. Up for the Challenge The SMIC expansion project has required extensive logistics and comes with its share of challenges. Fortunately, this type of work is Hamilton Construction LLC’s specialty. One of the challenges is simply the location of the project. The EX1200-6 and ZX470LC-5 are working on barges, which don’t exactly sit still. “We’re dealing with ocean swells,” Hamilton said. “At any second you can move up to 8 feet. You have to overcompensate for the swells as you’re dredging and placing rocks. You can never sit still; you’re always moving.” To help combat the movement, the company connected four, 15,000-lb. (6,804 kg) anchors via cables to help stabilize the barges. Additionally, the anchor cables help soften the blows from the swells. Hamilton Construction LLC is also using technology to its advantage. An excavator positioning system — using real-time GPS, heading sensors and inclinometers – is installed on the EX1200-6 to gain visibility on the basin floor.

cab displays a design model for both the dredging and rock placement activities. The display updates when material is removed and shows the operator where rocks should be placed for the breakwater. “Using the GPS for underwater visibility has helped us be even more productive and efficient on this project,” Hamilton said. Although it’s a challenging project, the SMIC expansion will bring Resurrection Bay back to life by providing major benefits for not only the city of Seward, but also for the state. According to the city of Seward, the expansion of the harbor area will allow 300-ton (272 t) boats to enter the harbor safely, and will bring a boost to the economy and workforce. Rugged Reliability For his wide range of work, Hamilton is a big believer in Hitachi equipment. His companies have a lineup of 17 Hitachi excavators and counting, ranging from an EX120 (with about 10,000 hours) up to an EX1800 (with about 16,000 hours). And this fleet has

the durability needed for his aggressive work. “I do a lot of rock work, and I’m hard on equipment,” Hamilton said. “I don’t deal with little rocks. I love challenging and aggressive work, and Hitachi is the only one that can handle it. They’re tough machines.” Hamilton has worked with his Hitachi dealer CMI Equipment for more than 25 years, and said he looks forward to continuing the longstanding partnership. “CMI is great to work with, and they’re supporting and keeping up with my business expansion,” he said. “All of my Hitachi machines have come from CMI. When it comes to excavators, Hitachi is the only one I’ll buy. I don’t have to think twice — I always go with Hitachi.” Hamilton Construction LLC is serviced by Construction Machinery Industrial LLC, Anchorage, Alaska.

Denver Area Interchange Project Will Ease Congestion DENVER from page 18

A new northbound right turn lane on Yosemite Street at the Yosemite Circle intersection will better accommodate truck access into the northwest quadrant of the interchange. Travel time on Arapahoe Road through the interchange complex is

expected to decrease substantially. Adding a turn lane at the bottom of the southbound I-25 off-ramp to Arapahoe Road should prevent traffic from backing up onto the interstate. Congestion within the interchange is expected to decrease and that should lower accident rates.

Lane Restrictions Commuters can expect nightly lane restrictions from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. on northbound and southbound I-25 between Belleview Avenue and County Line Road. Ramp closures also will be necessary at times. Lanes will be restricted east-

Ensuring Your Safety…

April Marks National Safe Digging Month — Call 811 Before You Dig By Pipeline Administration

and

Hazardous

Materials

Safety

April is National Safe Digging Month. Careless digging poses a threat to people, pipelines and other underground facilities, so in April, we highlight the importance of safe digging to remind homeowners and contractors about the dangers that reckless digging can cause. Each year, damage to underground facilities results in incidents that include injuries and fatalities. To help ensure your safety, you are required to call 811 — a toll-free, one-call notification center — 48 to 72 hours before beginning any excavation or digging projects. By calling 811, you can verify the location of any underground facilities in and around your excavation site, such as hazardous liquid and natural gas pipelines, telecommunications systems, electrical utilities, sewer pipelines and water pipelines. Remember, the required call even applies to small projects like planting trees and shrubs and installing mailboxes and swing sets. It doesn’t matter how modest the project is, accidentally hitting an underground utility line or other facility can cause harm to you and those around you. This April marks the 10-year anniversary of 811. Over the

last 10 years, the 811 call center has helped ensure the safety of people carrying out digging projects nationwide. As part of the 10-year anniversary celebration, representatives from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) attended the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) Safety Conference & Expo in Florida last month. The CGA conference is the nation’s largest educational and networking event in the utility damage prevention community. This year, the CGA recognized the 10th anniversary of the Call 811 campaign and phone number and presented PHMSA with the 2016 CGA Presidents Corporate Award of Excellence for its leadership of this important safety initiative. Visit call811.com to learn more about safe digging or use the #call811 hashtag on Twitter or Facebook to see what everyone else is saying about safe digging throughout the month of April. Most importantly, don’t forget that you’re required to call 811 48 to 72 hours before any digging project to help ensure safety and prevent threats to underground facilities. There is no cost to you, so Call 811 Before You Dig. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

San Fran’s $5B Treasure Island Makeover By Chuck Harvey CEG CORRESPONDENT

Once the site of a World’s Fair and then a U.S. Naval station, San Francisco’s Treasure Island is taking on a new look as a large, but ecologicallyfocused and sustainable new residential and retail development. The $5 billion, 8,000-home Treasure Island Development will feature open spaces, three hotels, restaurants, stores, offices and entertainment venues. Great scenery, protected ecology, water reuse and energy efficiency serve as attractions to the development that will be built over the next 20 years. The cost of infrastructure and site improvements is estimated at $1.9 billion. The project will be built in phases. The first phase of construction will take two to three years to complete and feature about 2,100 homes. The cost of the public improvements in the initial areas of construction is $180 million. Demolition and infrastructure work started in spring of 2016. It required hauling in large amounts of dirt and making sure the development site was seismically sound. Construction of the first new homes

Judge: $64B Rail Funding Can Continue By Don Thompson ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A judge rejected opponents’ latest attempt to stall California’s $64 billion high-speed rail project, but will consider their arguments before the state issues voter-approved bonds this month. Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Raymond Cadei ruled against a temporary restraining order sought by Kings County and other opponents. He set an April 19 hearing to consider a preliminary injunction, one day before the state anticipates selling a portion of the nearly $10 billion in bonds that voters approved in 2008.

An opponents’ lawsuit challenges AB1889, which was signed into law last year by high-speed rail proponent Gov. Jerry Brown. It changed previous laws to allow high-speed rail bonds to be spent to electrify 55 mi. of track from south of San Jose to San Francisco. The suit said the change is beyond what California voters approved nearly a decade ago, and that only voters can make the change. “This is their way to get around the financial straitjacket. That’s the whole purpose of AB1889,” said David Schonbrunn, president of the Transportation Solutions Defense and Education Fund that joined in the lawsuit. see RAIL page 51

Demoing Helps Prevent Future Forest Fires in California In 2015, more than 6,000 fires occurred in California, which saw just over 300,000 acres burned, according to the California government. Between that same time period the previous year, there were 2,000 fewer wildfires and over 100,000 fewer acres burned. California’s rough year included the Butte Fire, which saw close to 80,000 acres burned, a mandatory evacuation for all of San Andreas, and a state of emergency declared by Gov. Jerry Brown in two counties. The epic drought California is experiencing was a big factor for such heightened wildfires, so several California governmental agencies came together to figure out a more proactive approach. The end result was to host three separate week-long demonstrations throughout central and southern California this past fall, highlighting the best new technologies, equipment and local resources for several key state forestry attendees. The demos were part of the greater goal of improving the management of forests to help prevent disastrous wildfires from happening in the future. The three locations included in the demo were Shaver Lake and Big Bear Lake in October, as well as Santa Rosa Indian Reservation in November. Target audiences included the forestry management industry, such as fire agencies, electric utilities, fire safety councils and more. While the demos raised awareness about different hazardous fuel treatment alternatives, they also provided key stakeholders with up-to-date information on resource impacts, efficiencies, and cost of fuel treatment equipment and techniques. The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Southern California Edison, University of California (UC) Berkeley Center for Forestry, and 12 other partners hosted this initiative, which was titled, “Hazardous Fuels Reduction Demonstrations”. The demo had several short- and long-term goals, but the primary objective was to reduce highly flammable debris and vegetation, like small or dead trees and thick brush. Global Machinery, a rental, sales, and service provider located in Sacramento, played an instru-

At Shaver Lake and Big Bear, the TB290 was used to masticate an overstory of mixed conifer, with extensive cover of manzanita with whitethorn, dogwood and black oak, with diameters of 3 to 6 in. (7.6 to 15.2 cm) and slopes up to 40 percent.

mental role at the demo, providing machines, equipment, and operators to each location to help clean up brush. “The drought has had many profound effects throughout California and has been one of the core reasons why we have had so many wildfires this year,” said Jim Cunningham, sales manager of Global Machinery. “There were many working pieces in this demo, so it was great to see our company be able to make an impact on the communities involved and potentially the forest industry moving forward. Ideally this demo will make a difference for years to come.” According to the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, the expected short-term results included a better grasp on planning a budget for future fuels treatment projects; improved awareness regarding equipment options; and impacts, as well as making local contractors better aware of how to make informed business decisions on the equipment they can purchase or lease. Though their short-term results were mostly business-related, their

long-term project objectives primarily targeted protecting the environment. This includes improved wilderness and watershed health; a better aptitude to defend communities and infrastructure from wildfires; a potential increase in acres treated; and local job retention. The demos featured excavators and track loaders that were equipped with motion and vibration detectors to track their every move on-site. The movement and vibration readings were part of a cost analysis UC Berkeley is currently performing to determine which brands of equipment were the most effective during the demos. Those readings included which machines had a lighter footprint, the level of ground disturbance issues, as well as production and clearing rates. While the machines did a large part of the cleanup, the demos also featured a large herd of goats to chew up thick brush as well as a crew from the California Conservation Corps to remove brush manually. Southern California Edison, which is the primary electricity supply company for much of Southern California, along with the

U.S. Forest Service, hired TSS Consultants and the University of California Berkley’s Center of Forestry to conduct the research and put the demos together. TSS Consultants reached out to Global Machinery in an effort to obtain machines for the demo. Global Machinery sent two of its Takeuchi machines to the various locations. Local contractors ERT Inc. and Rivard’s Earthworks operated the demo machines, which included a Takeuchi TB290 hydraulic excavator, with an FAE DML/HY-100 VT mulching head; a TL12 track loader, with an FAE UML/SSL-150 VT head; and a FAE Prime Tech PT-175 prime mover. The TB290 is the second largest excavator in the Takeuchi lineup, while the TL12 is the largest Takeuchi track loader and the PT-175 is the smallest of the four prime movers that FAE builds. At each location Global Machinery was given a specific number of acres to run its equipment, during a two to three day production period (varied at each location) with varying terrain types, with up to 100 percent slope.

At Shaver Lake and Big Bear, the TB290 and TL12 were used to masticate an overstory of mixed conifer, with extensive cover of manzanita with whitethorn, dogwood and black oak, with diameters of 3 to 6 in. (7.6 to 15.2 cm) and slopes up to 40 percent. The PT-175 was used for removal of the same type of material, but in the heavier brush with tree diameters up to 10 in. (25.4 cm) and slopes up to 80 percent. At the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation, the material removed was primarily Chaparral, leaving the Pinon, Manzanita and Ribbon Wood. Global Machinery cleared a total of 48 acres in the combined six days of production. “This was a great opportunity for us and our equipment to be in front of so many key decision makers in the forest industry and really show what the Takeuchi machines are capable of,” Cunningham said. “The Hazardous Fuels Reduction Demonstration was a really welldone demo and something that is good for not only the industry as a whole, but all the communities involved as well. All attendees involved were able to see firsthand different machines, equipment, and new techniques they may have otherwise not considered without the demo.” While the Hazardous Fuels Reduction Demonstration has come to a halt, results from the demo are currently under way. According to the California government, the five-year average saw nearly 1,800 fewer fires and 200,000 fewer acres burned than in 2015. The National Interagency Fire Center also released data indicating that the 2015 nationwide wildfire season had surpassed any other wildfire season in the last 10 years with approximately 8 million acres burned. Now more than ever, these demos were crucial for the industry to take a step back and see what local resources and new technology can do to help not only reduce the number of wildfires, but to take a proactive approach to get out ahead of it the best they can.

Demolition Makes Way for Treasure Island Development Bob Beck, Treasure Island Development Authority photo

The $5 billion, 8,000-home Treasure Island Development will feature open spaces, three hotels, restaurants, stores, offices and entertainment venues. DEVELOPMENTfrom page 45

The firms are stakeholders in Treasure Island Community Development, a limited liability company (LLC). A prime contractor for the first phase of the project has not yet been selected. Subcontractors currently in use include Silverado Contractors of Oakland, Calif., for Yerba Buena Island demolition; AMPCO North Contractors of San Jose, Calif., for Treasure Island demolition; and De Silva-Gates of Dublin, Calif., for Yerba Buena Island grading and utilities. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP of San Francisco served as lead architect and master planner for the project. Design Draws Heavily on Islands’ Natural Setting Features include views, shorelines, topography, soils, habitat and vegetation. Treasure Island was initially built in 1936-37 for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. The island also served as home to Naval Station Treasure Island starting in 1941. The Navy sold about 450 acres to Treasure Island Community Development for $55 million. The Navy is now responsible for an environmental cleanup of the site includ-

The project will be built in phases.

The first phase of construction will take two to three years to complete and feature about 2,100 homes.

ing areas affected by radioactive contamination. “The home sites will represent less than one-third of the purchased acreage,” Beck said. The remaining property including parks, open space and the streets will remain in Treasurer Island Development Authority ownership. Affordable Housing “The current plan is that 2,173 of the 8,000 units will be affordable units,” Beck said. “Of these, not less than 435 will be developed by the agencies of the Treasure Island Homeless Development Initiative including Community Housing Partnership, Catholic Charities, Health Right 360 and Swords to Plowshares.” The initiative’s mission is specifically to provide housing to the formerly homeless. “The other homes will be market rate units,” Beck added. Most of the homes will be sold to buyers, but rentals could be part of the mix. Much will depend on market demand for homes. Large homes will not be the main focus of the development. “Most of the homes will be between one and four bed-

rooms, but some studios are also likely,” Beck said. “The range of square footages is likely to vary considerably, but majority of units will likely fall within a range of 600 and 1,200 sq. ft.” Lawsuit Halted Start of Construction Treasure Island had been approved for construction in 2011, but a lawsuit by Aaron Peskin, now a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, halted progress until the suit was resolved in 2014. A revised and more environmentally-friendly construction plan was then developed. Treasure Island is connected by roadway to Yerba Buena Island, which connects to the Oakland Bay Bridge. Included in the design of the new Treasure Island Development is a transportation network for the islands. The network is designed to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists and to encourage sustainable transit-oriented choices for travel. One of the key project attractions is a Treasure Island park system with a diverse array of urban public spaces that are see DEVELOPMENT page 50

integrated with new neighborhood development and provide a connection with the ecological and experiential qualities of the Bay. More than 300 acres of the project area will be devoted to parklands, wetlands, recreational sites, trails and native habitat. The new development will be constructed with energy efficiency in mind. It will include a solar farm and solar panels on homes. Treasure Island will have its own wastewater treatment system that utilizes recycled wastewater for irrigation. Treasure Island Community Development has started construction on Yerba Buena Island and is in the early development stage of the project areas on Treasure Island. Demolition Work Current work on Treasure Island includes demolition of non-historic structures, geotechnical mitigation and infrastructure construction within the first project site. That includes construction of roads, utilities and sewer lines.

Although much of the project will be located on Treasure Island, some of the new homes will be nestled against the steep slopes of Yerba Buena Island, holding roughly to the development areas laid out by the Navy. That will allow preservation of natural vegetation and landform along with historic structures and gardens on Yerba Buena. Demolition is complete on Yerba Buena Island. Treasure Island Community Development has awarded contracts for new water storage reservoirs and mass grading and site improvements on Yerba Buena Island and the contractors began work earlier this year. Treasure Island Community Development also has received bids for the first phase of geotechnical improvements on Treasure Island and reconstruction of the causeway connecting Treasure Island to Yerba Buena Island. The geotechnical work — vibratory compaction and surcharging — will induce settlement of the existing grade elevations. Soil

will be required for the surcharging program to compensate for grade lost during the geotechnical work and to raise grades above current levels in anticipation of future sea level rise. In total, it is estimated that 3 million cu. yds. (2.3 million cu m) of soil will be required, of which about 10 percent is currently stockpiled on the island in anticipation of the start of the geotechnical work. Infrastructure installation will follow. The package for infrastructure improvements in the first sub-phase area on Treasure Island has been advertised. Current heavy equipment in use at Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island is limited to excavators and hoe-rams. Two Neighborhoods Will Be Constructed On Treasure Island, new homes will be arranged within a series of blocks. The homes will form two neighborhoods, one along the island’s western edge with views of San Francisco, and a second stretching to the east along Clipper Cove. The second neighborhood will have views

of the new Bay Bridge and East Bay Hills. The neighborhoods will share a retail main street linking the historic buildings along Clipper Cove to a west-facing ferry and bus terminal. The retail main street will create a regional destination and social heart for the new San Francisco district. Design for the development grows out of the Treasure and Yerba Buena islands’ natural setting and rich history. Minimal Traffic Disruptions Construction is expected to cause only minor impact on the Bay Bridge. New westbound on- and off-ramps were completed in October 2016 and a new eastbound off-ramp opened earlier in the year. A new eastbound off-ramp should be completed before the end of 2017. Economically, the project should benefit the Bay Area. It is expected to generate about 1,100 construction jobs.

Governor Expects Tax Hike Will Yield $52B for Projects By Jonathan J. Cooper ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California Gov. Jerry Brown employed all the tricks he’s accumulated over a lifetime in politics to pass one of the largest state tax increases in recent memory in one frenzied week. Using a mix of public pressure, private arm-twisting, a late-night meeting at the governor’s mansion and nearly $1 billion of pork, Brown showed the political acumen that’s made him California’s longest-serving chief executive. Brown, who typically prefers to politick in private, was a very public campaigner for the deal he negotiated with fellow Democratic legislative leaders. He ventured to Concord and Riverside to pressure undecided legislators from those areas, and he appealed directly to two legislative committees. A group of contractors and construction unions underwrote a $1 million ad blitz on TV and social media. And the day before the vote Brown headlined a rally at the state Capitol. The tax hike, projected to raise more than $5 billion a year from

higher gas taxes and vehicle registration fees, cleared the Legislature on April 6 without a single vote to spare for the two-thirds majority required for tax increases. Minutes later, at about 11 p.m. on the eve of his 79th birthday, Brown stepped out of his office and declared victory, flanked by about a dozen lawmakers. “I appreciate being a Democrat and what the Democrats did tonight,’’ Brown said. “The Democratic Party is the party of doing things. And tonight we did something to fix the roads of California.’’ Californians have historically been receptive to hiking taxes on the rich and “sins’’ like cigarettes. In 2012, Brown convinced voters to approve a higher income tax on the wealthy. Thad Kousser, chair of the political science department at University of California, San Diego, said Brown and his legislative partners — Senate leader Kevin de Leon and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon — cleared a higher hurdle by winning passage for a much broader tax package. “What he got was a legislature ...

to look ahead 10, 20 years into the future and put some pain on their voters today to build California for the future,’’ Kousser said. “That makes it a really tough trek.’’ The deal will raise gasoline taxes 43 percent to 47.3 cents per gallon beginning Nov. 1. Diesel taxes will more than double to 36 cents a gallon. Vehicle owners will be charged a new annual fee, paid along with the vehicle registration. The money, more than $52 billion over the next 10 years, will pay for repairs to state highways and local streets, along with improvements to bridges, public transit, and biking and walking trails. Every Republican but one opposed the plan. Conceding that road conditions are dire, Republicans said overtaxed Californians can’t shoulder another increase. California’s gas taxes will be among the highest in the nation. The decision to ask lawmakers for a tax hike is a departure from Brown’s promise in 2010, when he pledged not to raise taxes without a vote of the people. However, he did not repeat the promise when he was re-elected four years later. “He has that uncanny knack for

knowing when to seize a political issue and run with it and make it work and score with it,’’ said Larry Gerston, a professor emeritus of political science at San Jose State University. “He rarely loses the big fight.’’ Brown, Rendon and de Leon worked on the deal for nearly two years. The governor called lawmakers into special session in 2015 to deal with roads, but after onagain, off-again talks, they walked away at the end of last year’s legislative session, pledging to try again after the 2016 election. In February, the trio said they’d imposed a deadline on themselves to pass the tax hike by April 6, the last day before lawmakers began their spring break. A week before the deadline, they announced their deal. Brown went to Concord the next day to highlight bad roads in the overlapping districts of Sen. Steve Glazer and Assemblyman Tim Grayson, both Democrats. Grayson ended up supporting the tax hike while Glazer was one of two legislative Democrats to vote against it. A few days later, Brown was in Riverside for a rally to pressure

Assemblywoman Sabrina Cervantes and Sen. Richard Roth, Democrats in swing districts that are top targets for Republicans next year. Cervantes and Roth voted for the bill after receiving guarantees that about $420 million will go to their region for road projects. Without Glazer’s support, Brown needed a Republican. He found a partner in Sen. Anthony Cannella of Ceres, who’d sent strong signals that he’d be willing to vote for the deal under the right circumstances. Brown got Canella’s vote following a meeting at the governor’s mansion that wrapped up around 10 p.m. April 5. Cannella said Brown, de Leon and Rendon pressured him for hours. “There was a lot of arm-twisting,’’ Cannella said. “There was a lot of my arm being twisted, actually.’’ He didn’t go away empty-handed: For his vote, Canella was promised a half-billion dollars for road and train projects in his district.

Lawmakers, High Speed Rail Officials Clarify Legislation RAIL from page 45

Lawmakers and the California High Speed Rail Authority said it was merely clarifying legislation that authorized $1.1 billion for transit improvements at both ends of the highspeed rail project, and that the Legislature could act on its own. Rail authority spokeswoman Lisa Marie Alley noted that opponents have failed for more than five years to block the project while succeeding only in driving up delays and costs. Financing has been moving ahead after plaintiffs in the biggest lawsuit lost and decided last year not to appeal. An injunction now “would harm the public interest, by putting billions of public dollars at risk,” the state argued in its court filing. However, the bullet train’s future also remains uncertain because it relies on significant federal funding, and the Republican-controlled Congress does not support the project. Cadei met with attorneys privately in his office and did not hear public arguments before ruling.

Industrial development will soon create hundreds of new jobs at the Port of Oakland. The challenge: finding enough skilled workers to fill them. That was the message Port officials delivered to a visiting delegation from the philanthropic Kellogg Foundation. The Port said it wants to fill the skills gap with training for job candidates. It added that its aim is to put more local people to work. “Our economic impact is inextricably tied to the jobs we create,” Amy Tharpe, Port social responsibility director, told visitors from the 87-year-old foundation. Officials from Battle Creek, Mich.-based Kellogg Foundation, along with some foundation grant recipients, travelled to Oakland to learn how the Port creates jobs for underserved populations. The Port listed the ways: • A project labor agreement that establishes aggressive local-hiring goals and workforce development funding for capital construction projects; • using project dollars to pay for job training to create a local workforce pipeline; and • partnerships with developers and con-

tractors interested in putting local residents to work. “Major developments are under way at the port that provide jobs ranging from construction to warehouse operations. Among them: expansion of Oakland International Airport’s International Arrivals Building and a 280,000-sq.-ft. (26,013 sq m) refrigerated seaport warehouse. A just-completed rail yard provided 542 construction jobs, said Tharpe. She said that 60 percent of those jobs went to local workers. Driscoll said employers are searching for workers with skills such as truck driving or forklift operation. “We don’t have a good base of fundamental skills,” he said. Tharpe said the Port assists local agencies that train workers for skilled blue-collar jobs. She said developers pay into a job-development fund 30 cents for every employee-hour worked on a Port project. About 73,000 jobs depend on the Port of Oakland, Tharpe said. She added that workers in the San Francisco East Bay where the Port is located fill two-thirds of those jobs.

The Laborers’ Training and Retraining Trust of Southern California graduated 526 apprentices to journeymen and journeywomen status earlier this year. The Construction Craft Laborer Apprenticeship graduated 507; the Laborers’ Landscape & Irrigation Fitter Apprenticeship program graduated 16; and the Laborers’ Cement Mason Finisher Apprenticeship graduated the first three journeypersons from that program. “These new journeymen and women put in a lot of hours of training in the classroom and on the job, and sacrificed personally to graduate from their apprenticeship,” said Armando Esparza, business manager of the Southern California District Council of Laborers (SCDCL). Before entering an apprenticeship program, candidates must attend an orientation, pass a drug test and complete a boot camp to ensure they are ready for the physical demands of the industry. Depending upon the program the apprentice indentured into, each apprentice must complete between 224 and 432 hours of classroom instruction and log between 3,000 and 4,200 hours of on-the-job training to become a journeyperson. Apprentices are exposed to virtually all segments of the construction industry and receive Cal/OSHA

required certifications and equipment endorsements. “For these graduates and all those before them, this is not the end of the road for training,” emphasized Scott Gordon, Laborers’ School executive director. “We encourage all journeymen and women to continue their education at the training center so that they can expand their career opportunities. In fact, we’ve had some apprentices start their own construction company within a few years of graduating.” The Laborers’ Training and Retraining Trust of Southern California is a partnership between the Laborers and their signatory contractors. The Laborers’ School operates 12 facilities in Southern California that provide more than 100,000 hours of training every year. The Laborers’ School also offers: • 12 training sites and five mobile training units that bring training to any location; • more than 140 courses that meet or exceed industry standards; • three California-ApprenticeshipCouncil-approved apprenticeship programs; • instructors credentialed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing • training processes that are accredited (AC 371) by the International Accreditation Service (IAS)

The SV340 offers optional high-flow (38.7 gpm [146.5 Lpm] at 3,450 psi) and enhanced high-flow (35 gpm [132.5 Lpm] at 4,000 psi) auxiliary hydraulics for excellent power and attachment versatility.

The Case SV340 skid steer is the company’s most powerful skid steer ever built. Rated at 3,400 lbs. (1,542 kg) operating capacity and featuring a bucket breakout force of 9,531 lbs., the new vertical-lift skid steer continues the Case tradition of building powerful operating capacities into a platform that is easy to use for operators in all industries, according to the manufacturer. The SV340 provides extra power and performance, along with a stronger lift arm, H-link and upper chassis. The machine also offers optional high-flow (38.7 gpm [146.5 Lpm] at 3,450 psi) and enhanced high-flow (35 gpm [132.5 Lpm] at 4,000 psi) auxiliary hydraulics for excellent power and attachment versatility. Additional enhancements also have been made to manifold valves, the gear pump and the auxiliary loader circuit to allow for added power and performance. The added operating performance — along with new heavy-duty 14 x 17.5 tires and additional counterweights — makes the SV340 an ideal operating platform for more advanced attachments such as cold planers, tree spades and stump grinders. The skid steer is compatible with more than 250

attachments, including the new Case sectional snow pushes, buckets, forks, brooms, rakes and more. A 90-hp FPT engine with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology powers the new skid steer. SCR eliminates the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and the associated downtime of other systems that require regeneration. It also allows the engine to run cooler and with greater fuel efficiency as fuel is not used to burn off collected particulate. The SV340 features EZ-EH (electro-hydraulic) controls that provide nine adjustable speed and control sensitivity settings that can be adjusted on the fly. This allows the operator to quickly switch between personalized settings for speed and control, and to tailor machine performance to the application. A single rocker switch allows operators to switch between the Case “H” operating pattern and ISO pattern controls for jobsites where numerous operators with different operating preferences are working. The skid steer also features push-button ride control, which cushions loader arm movement for a smoother ride and greater material retention.

The SV340 offers one of the widest cabs in the industry and the lowest entry threshold for easy access and greater visibility down to the bucket/attachment. The cab-forward design combines with ultra-narrow wire side screens to provide best-inclass 360-degree visibility and excellent sight lines down to the bucket edge/curb lines. A large, rounded rear window delivers excellent rear visibility. Standard heavy-duty front and side lights, along with a skylight, further improve all-around visibility. The machine also features an optional radio and upgraded climate controls for optimal comfort. The SV340’s routine service points are all located at the rear of the machine. Operators can quickly access the engine, filters, fill points, and all other service points through a single point of access. The skid steer also offers Case’s easy-tilt cab for convenient access to the drivetrain compartment. For more information, visit CaseCE.com/alpha.

ASV Offers Posi-Track RT-30 Compact Track Loader ASV LLC offers the Posi-Track RT-30 compact track loader as a heavy-duty commercial machine in a small package. The radial lift loader is the industry’s smallest siton model yet features the same productivityenhancing qualities as larger ASV machines, according to the manufacturer. This includes highly efficient hydraulics and cooling systems as well as best-in-class low ground pressure. In addition, the RT-30 provides a safer, more productive alternative to walkbehind and sit-on mini-skidsteer loaders. The ASV unit’s small size makes it ideal for contractors, rental centers and homeowners looking for a commercial-quality, compact machine for work in tight spaces for applications such as landscaping, snow removal and construction. “This is not an entry-level machine. We designed it to our standards of maximum performance with no compromises,” said Jim DiBiagio, ASV general manager. “We built the RT-30 as a tough piece of equipment that’s ready to be used every day, all day. This unit provides contractors and rental centers an addition to their fleet for work that requires small size but serious quality.” The 3,600-lb. (1,633 kg) RT-30 is 48 in. (122 cm) wide and has an 8.4-ft. (2.5 m) lift height. Its compact size and 10 inches of ground clearance minimize risk of property damage or damage to the machine while working in hard-to-reach areas, whether clearing snow on sidewalks and through alleys or while completing landscaping or construction work in high-density housing areas. The machine’s size also optimizes it for the rental market as the compact track loader is easy to transport on a trailer pulled by a pick-up truck. It is simple to operate, making rental customer training easy, including homeowners who can use it in backyards and eliminate manual labor. In addition, the RT-30 features easy serviceability as a result of a single-door system that allows fast access to the engine, filters and other daily checkpoints. This means faster rental turnaround and less downtime for contractors. The RT-30 offers a safe alternative to similarly sized walk-behind and stand-on skidsteer loaders. The ASV unit’s cab provides rollover protection and protects the operator from outside elements. The cab’s seat also eliminates the fatigue that comes from standing. In addition, the compact track loader also features more ground clearance and lower ground pressure than similarly sized machines on the market.

The ASV Posi-Track RT-30’s small size allows it to excel in tight areas in industries such as landscaping, snow removal, rental and construction.

The RT-30’s industrial diesel engine provides more torque than smaller gas or diesel engines common in mini-skidsteer loaders. “The RT-30 is safer, less tiresome and more productive than mini-skidsteer loaders,” said Bill Wake, ASV director of product development. “The unit features all of these benefits while being similarly priced to premium walk-behind and stand-on options.” ASV builds the RT-30 from the ground up. The undercarriage features ASV’s PosiTrack rubber track suspension. The singlelevel suspension is made up of two independent torsion axles per undercarriage, allowing for a smooth ride over every type of terrain at speeds as fast as 5.7 mph. In addition, the multiple wheel contact points and central drive lug virtually eliminate track derailment and facilitate maximum performance on steep slopes. The RT-30 comes standard with 11-in. (28 cm) wide tracks, resulting in the industry’s lowest compact track loader ground pressure of only 3 psi. This means minimal risk of damage on delicate surfaces such as turf and allows for extra flotation and traction over surfaces such as

ice, mud, snow and brush, according to the manufacturer. The RT-30 features an open-rail and drive-sprocket design, resulting in longer sprocket and bogie life along with easier and faster undercarriage cleaning than with other steel-embedded undercarriages. ASV manufactures rollers with mechanical face seals that don’t require maintenance for the life of the machine. The tracks are produced using a single-cure process, eliminating cure-point weaknesses that can lead to premature breakage. In addition, the tracks are strengthened with embedded co-polymer cords. This allows for a 1,500- to 2,000-hour track life — 30 percent more than steel-embedded track units. ASV backs the track life with a two-year, 1,500-hour track warranty. The RT-30 features a 32.7-hp Perkins 1.5L diesel engine that produces 64.39 ft.-lbs. of torque. Planetary drive motors transfer the torque to the internal-drive sprockets. Internal rollers prevent friction loss in the undercarriage, resulting in all power being transferred to the track regardless of drive speed. ASV built the RT-30’s auxiliary hydraulic

system to operate efficiently with a 10 gpm (37.8 Lpm) pump capacity and 3,000 psi. The machine includes large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps — rather than belt-driven pumps — transferring more flow and pressure directly to the attachment and preventing power loss. The RT-30 features a rated operating capacity of 665 lbs. (301.6 kg) and a tipping load of 1,900 lbs. (862 kg). Standard joystick controls make operation easy and intuitive. Operators can choose from a full line of attachments built for the RT-30 and its quick-attach plate, such as buckets, snow blades, snow blowers, augers, trenchers and pallet forks. In addition, buyers can fit the unit with an adaptor plate to accept standard skidsteer attachments. An optional turf track allows for operation on highly manicured surfaces, such as golf course greens, with minimal risk of damage.

Large-Frame Skid Steers, CTLs Make Big Projects Seem Smaller Contractors, landscapers, farmers, rental professionals and other equipment owners who understand the value of compact equipment can now expect even more power, productivity and uptime on the job with the new John Deere large-frame G-Series skid steers (330G, 332G) and compact track loaders (331G, 333G). These machines were inspired by extensive feedback from John Deere customers looking for more productivity, better visibility and simplified service to remain competitive in their businesses. John Deere not only answered by improving in these areas, but also added a host of new features to make the large-frame G-Series machines easier to run and maintain on jobs of every scale. “There has never been a better time to own compact equipment,” said Gregg Zupancic, product marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “Demand for compact machines that maximize productivity and uptime at low daily operating costs is growing, and John Deere is growing with it by adding powerful new options to our G-Series lineup, like the new largeframe skid steers and compact track loaders.” The biggest improvement on the largeframe G-Series is the refined vertical-lift loader boom design that rises higher, reaches farther and lifts more for quicker and easier loading. Height to hinge pin is 11 ft. (3.3 m), enabling operators to easily load dump trucks, feed mixers, fill hoppers and everything in between. Customers also will appreciate the new lift path that extends an additional 6 in. (15 cm) from the machine. The large frames also serve up substantially greater boom and bucket breakout forces. In fact, they have horsepower that is comparable to a small backhoe or crawler, and they also work comfortably in tight quarters, so operators can accomplish more with less machine. Increased rated operating capacities of up to 3,700 lbs. (1,678 kg) give these models the muscle needed to master heavy loads, coupled with a breakout force that has been increased by 40 percent to make lifting heavy loads easier. Increased auxiliary hydraulic flow and power on the large frames means customers can make the most of an even broader range of attachments for a wide variety of work. Universal Quik-Tatch enables you to go from bucket to forks and more in just seconds. Generous standard and optional highflow auxiliary hydraulics also let you effortlessly run powered attachments, such as hydraulic hammers, cold planers, mulching heads and trenchers. All auxiliary hydraulic lines and wiring on new machines are now routed through the boom where they’re more protected and out of the operator’s sightline.

The John Deere large-frame G-Series skid steers (330G, 332G) and compact track loaders (331G, 333G) were inspired by extensive feedback from John Deere customers looking for more productivity, better visibility and simplified service to remain competitive in their businesses.

“Demand for compact machines that maximize productivity and uptime at low daily operating costs is growing, and John Deere is growing with it by adding powerful new options to our G-Series lineup, like the new large-frame skid steers and compact track loaders.” Gregg Zupancic John Deere Construction and Forestry

Understanding a comfortable operator is a more productive operator, John Deere made several enhancements to the cab on the large-frame G-Series machines. An easyaccess entryway, tightly sealed swing-out door, and ample foot-and legroom simplify getting in, getting comfortable and getting things done. Unobstructed sightlines to the bucket corners, the edge of the tires or tracks, and the job site ahead and behind instill con-

fidence in tight quarters. Best-in-class visibility gets even better with an optional rearview camera that displays the action behind on an upfront monitor and an optional LED lighting package that provides front and side illumination for extended days and after-dark tasks, according to the manufacturer. Consistent with other G-Series models, flexible control choices on the large frames

allow contractors to choose between standard EH ISO controls, (EH) ISO joystick controls or options that are switchable between ISO- and H-patterns, or EH 3-way switchable controls that allow operations between ISO- or H-pattern, or hand and foot controls of operation within the same machine. The cabs and floors are sealed and pressurized to keep out dust and excess noise, and a footwell clean-out makes debris management easier than ever, minimizing costly maintenance and downtime. Cab side windows also remove easily for cleaning. Another key uptime improvement on the G-Series large-frame machines is the integration of John Deere WorkSight, a suite of telematics solutions that increases uptime while lowering operating costs. At its heart, JDLink Ultimate machine monitoring provides real-time data and health prognostics to suggest maintenance solutions that decrease costly downtime. Remote diagnostics enable a dealer to read codes, record performance data and even update software without a trip to the job site. For more information, visit www.johndeere.com.

Advance Tires Adds L4 Solid Skid Steer Tire

Hlavinka JCB 7105 Hwy. 59 N. Victoria, TX 77905 361-541-6100 Angleton, TX 979-308-6870 www.hlavinkajcb.com

Advance Tire Inc. recently added an L4 solid skid steer tire to its solid tire line. Known as the Contender, it has an improved solid tire design with 30 percent more wearable rubber than traditional directional solid tires, according to the manufacturer. By using a heavy block tread design, the tire is expected to provide longer wear on hard surfaces. Advance also made the tire directional and used a wider block separation to make sure the Contender provides traction on unimproved surfaces such as dirt yards. The tire comes with two or three rows of aperture comfort holes, which provide a soft ride and improve traction. The Contender is available in both 30x10-16 and 33x12-20; these sizes replace 10x16.5 and 12x16.5 size tires. The Contender is shipped tire and rim ready to install. For more information, call 800/445-6647 or visit www.advancetires.com.

New JCB Skid Steers Offer More Power, Enhanced Capacity JCB is launching two new wheeled skid steer loaders — the 210 radial lift model offers a base rated operating capacity (ROC) of 2,100 lbs. (950 kg), while the new 215 vertical lift model boasts an ROC of 2,150 lbs. (975 kg). The operating capacity of both the 210 and 215 models can be increased by an additional 200 lbs. (90 kg), to 2,300 lbs. (1,040 kg) and 2,350 lbs. (1,065 kg) respectively, with an optional, dealer-fitted “suitcase” counterweight kit. More Power and Functionality The ROC of the 210 and 215 will allow operators to take full advantage of the highflow auxiliary hydraulic circuit, delivering 30 gpm, to power a range of high-flow attachments such as cold planers, augers and trenchers. JCB Chief Innovation and Growth Officer Tim Burnhope said: “The 210 and 215 deliver the high-horsepower benefits of larger skid steers to operators of light-frame skid steer platforms. High-flow hydraulics allow our operators to perform more tasks more efficiently, use a greater range of attachments, and complete tasks faster.” Additionally, the new 210 and 215 are the first in JCB’s small-frame skid steer line up to

be powered by the JCB by Kohler 74 hp (55 kW) engine, which offers a 20 percent increase in horsepower over comparablysized skid steers in the JCB range, yet requires no diesel particulate filter (DPF). Both machines are Stage III B/Tier IV Final compliant. “The combination of more horsepower and a high-flow hydraulics system really reinforces the versatility of these incredible new skid steer machines, and expands the range of projects to which light-framed JCB skid steers can be applied. The added benefit of all that additional power is that these machines will not be required to run at full capacity all the time, which means less stress on the systems and drivetrain, resulting in more uptime,” Burnhope said. Proven Features The JCB 210 and 215 skid steers feature JCB’s single PowerBoom design with exclusive side door entry, resulting in increased safety, 60 percent better visibility and a 46 percent larger cab than other models in this size class, The 210 radial lift model offers a base rated operating capacity (ROC) of 2,100 according to the manufacturer.

Radial vs. Vertical Loader — Which to Use Depends on Job By David Steger SPECIAL TO CEG

Knowing the true differences between radial and vertical loader designs will help you leverage the advantages of each and enable you to select the best machine to your specific application. We will look at the obvious and maybe not as obvious details. Advantages of a Radial SSL If strength, stability and durability are your focal points, a radial lift arm loader may be for you, and are specially designed for rental applications, concrete contractors, and excavation contractors. The advantage of a radial loader is summed up in two words: simplicity and durability. There are fewer moving parts in the loader linkage (also correlating to its durability), better visibility due to less linkage, and also a lower cost than a vertical loader. The radial lift arm design typically offers greater lifting power (lift arm breakout) at ground level. It also has greater forward reach at mid-height, which is useful for backfilling (dumping material further into the trench while being able to sit further from the edge), and handling palletized material at truck height. Furthermore, a radial loader weighs less than a vertical machine which can help when transporting the machine. Finally, radial loader arms are more stable side to side with a better weight distribution front to back to handle ground-engaging attachments like light attachments and empty pallet forks. Advantages of a Vertical SSL If you never know what your jobs may throw at you, the versatility of a vertical lift arm loader may be the ideal choice. These machines excel at handling large attachments and heavy pallets and in some cases allow you to choose a smaller machine in place of radial due to the generally higher operating capacity. The biggest advantages for a vertical machine are capacity, lift height and a better balance. The key advantage is the act of keeping the load closer to the machine during the lift cycle for better balance. Better balance results in a higher TIP/ROC. The design also allows for greater lift height and reach at lift height with some designs, although many well-designed radials are within inches of their vertical siblings. Additionally, they are generally more rear heavy due to the extra linkage as well as more expensive due to more parts and steel. At the end of the day, both will push, dig, lift, carry and dump. However some models and lift configurations may be better suited to certain tasks than the other. Before making any decisions, make sure that you are choosing the right option that is most suitable for your needs. When in doubt, it is always good to consult with your dealer.

Medium-Frame…

Wacker Neuson Introduces Line of Skid Steers, CTLs Wacker Neuson introduced a new line of medium frame skid steer and compact track loaders that are an ideal fit for a variety of applications. Four new skid steer and two new compact track loaders were developed from the ground up, offering the power and torque needed to lift more, push more, work longer and maneuver through challenging jobsite obstacles. They have the comfort and convenience owner operators expect and the durability they demand. With a best-in-class transferable engine warranty of four years or 4,000 hours, these new models are ideal for inventory management and resale, according to the manufacturer. The new skid steers and compact track loaders are built for performance, versatility and convenience. Class-leading hinge pin height on the vertical loaders provide maximum loading and unloading capabilities. An engine torque of 221 ft.-lbs. provides the power needed for improved ground-engaging performance in all kinds of terrain. The Kohler diesel engine features a maintenance-free, regeneration-free aftertreatment system, eliminating the impact of extreme heat or of the need for filters. Versatility comes standard with every Wacker Neuson loader. The universal skid steer attach-

ment plate enables attachments to be switched out easily, accomplishing more in less time. Category-leading hydraulic horsepower is standard and high-flow enables these machines to handle high-performance attachments like rakes, movers, tillers and augers with ease. The 30-gal. fuel tank gives operators more time in the cab and less time refueling. Wacker Neuson created a cab environment with operator comfort and convenience in mind. Access in and out is easy, there’s no restrictive lap bar and controls are intuitively placed. Mechanical Hand-Foot and selectable ElectricHydraulic options (ISO/H-Pattern) ensure operators with a variety of experience can efficiently operate these machines. Additionally, these machines offer a one-piece pod style cab that fully tilts forward with the arms down, providing complete access to all maintenance components. Wacker Neuson’s new skid steers (SW models) and compact track loaders (ST models) include a selection of engine horsepower and radial or vertical lift machines.
