A MESSAGE FROM EHRBAR

Pat Ahern

Dear Valued Customer: Komatsu’s innovation stands out, regardless of machine size.

Case in point, this issue of your Ehrbar Advantage highlights a couple of ways that Komatsu places itself at the forefront of technology on different ends of the equipment spectrum.

Some construction companies rely on smaller machines such as the new PC238USLC-11 tight-tail-swing excavator. Its swing radius is the same as the counterweight, so it’s well-suited for applications with limited space.

On a slightly larger scale is Komatsu’s PC390LCi-11 that offers exceptional stability and lift capacity while providing the technological edge of intelligent Machine Control. It’s a great fit for trenching and heavy applications and could easily be incorporated into a SMARTCONSTRUCTION initiative. See further details about the PC390LCi-11 inside.

Please also take a moment to read the articles about two of our local customers: Woodstock Construction Group of Oyster Bay-Long Island, N.Y., and Beacon Residential of Fishkill, N.Y. Like your business dealings with Ehrbar, we are proud to be a part of their success and enjoy sharing this information with you.

Innovation comes in all sizes

As always, if there is anything we can do for you, please call or stop by one of our branch locations. Thanks again for reading.

Sincerely, Pat Ahern

A SALUTE TO AN EHRBAR CUSTOMER

WOODSTOCK CONSTRUCTION GROUP

Passion for work pays dividends for this contractor

A Andrew Woodstock, President at-Large

Sharon Woodstock, Acting President

Patrick Woodstock, Vice President

Andrew Woodstock loves to work, and for most of his 55 years he’s been doing just that.

From selling papers to mowing lawns, he was always motivated to succeed. That drive began early and led to the creation of Woodstock Construction Group, which has grown into a family business. However, the company may never have come to fruition if he’d had a different attitude toward the family’s original side business – acting.

“I am one of 12 siblings, so Dad started acting in commercials to bring in more money,” recalled Andrew. “Eventually, all of us began doing some acting or modeling for catalogs.

It sounds great, and looking back, it was. But when you’re 12 and you are running through a field in your underwear for a Fruit of the Loom commercial, your buddies let you have it at school the next day. I begged my mom and dad to let me do something else, so they lent me the lawn mower and I got to work.”

Quickly enough, he had 25 accounts. Those friends who got a good laugh from ribbing Andrew? They came in handy as he hired them as part of his crew. That ingenuity and drive were key to his other ventures as well. By the time he entered middle school, Andrew was more than six-feet tall and weighed 200 pounds, so no one blinked an eye when he applied for a job loading and unloading trailers on Friday nights with his older brothers.

“It was great,” he exclaimed. “The other employees didn’t want that shift, and no one really questioned my age. I made good money and got in awesome shape.”

Meghan Woodstock Domingo, Office Manager

By age 19, Andrew was married to his wife, Sharon, and the foundation for Woodstock Construction was in place. It started off with

landscaping and utility work and moved into residential construction soon after.

For the 36 years that followed, the firm has continued to find success and exude Andrew’s passion for the work it does. It has 25 employees, and family is a major component. Andrew is President at-Large and Sharon is the Acting President. Their son, Patrick, is Vice President and daughter, Meghan Woodstock Domingo, is Office Manager. Meghan’s husband, Dave, also works in the company as does Andrew’s nephew James Meyerdierks.

“You can’t beat having family involved,” shared Andrew. “Patrick runs the outside, Meghan takes care of the inside, Sharon makes sure everyone gets paid and I get to oversee the bigger picture. I couldn’t do it without them, Project Manager John Reilly, Secretary Kathy Beccaris-Sandler and everyone else here. We have an excellent group of people who make us successful.”

On the water Woodstock Construction Group takes pride in calling itself a multifaceted general contracting company, because it’s true, and it’s also easier than listing all of the services it provides.

“When we started in residential construction, we could do anything from digging the foundation to laying tiles on the floor,” said Patrick. “Then we morphed into landscaping, utility installation, bulkheading, dredging, masonry and park construction.

People look at me silly when I start listing things, but we basically do everything in-house except for electrical and plumbing.”

Recently, the company has handled a number of projects located near water, mainly

Woodstock Construction Group uses a pair of Komatsu tight-tail-swing excavators – a PC138USLC (left) and PC228USLC – to complete a project on Fire Island, N.Y. “Our jobsites might look big, but once we get equipment, people and material there, it turns into a Honda Civic quickly,” said Vice President Patrick Woodstock. “The PC138 and PC228 help us create both a safe and efficient work space.”

bulkheads and marina upgrades. One example is a 4,000-foot seawall renovation for Watch Hill located on Fire Island, N.Y. Woodstock Construction laid 60,000 square feet of decking, installed utility lines and resurfaced the entire marina. The job’s location on Fire Island National Seashore made it unique and challenging.

“This island is like a science project for New York’s ecosystem, and it’s run by the National Parks Service,” detailed Patrick. “We couldn’t go in and tear everything out before and do our regular exploratory work, we had to make do with what we had.

“Diligent planning was also necessary, because we were literally on an island,” he continued. “We had to know exactly what to bring by barge before we started. Equipment, material, tools, you name it, we planned for it, down to the screws for the decking. If you forgot something, you couldn’t just jump in the truck and go to the store, you had to take a boat. It was a whole new ballgame.”

The move to marine projects has suited Woodstock Construction nicely, and its well-rounded background enables the firm to stand out against the competition.

“When a marina renovation comes up, there are a lot of companies vying for it,” explained Andrew. “But there’s more than just a marina that needs to be done. There are restroom facilities, a dockmaster building, a parking lot, infrastructure, drainage and site work to do.

The 4,000-foot seawall renovation located at Watch Hill on the Fire Island National Seashore in New York is one of the many water-related projects that Woodstock Construction Group has completed. The company laid 60,000 square feet of decking, installed utility lines and resurfaced the entire marina.

When some companies realize that, they back out. With our experience, we can handle it all.

That’s why we’ve been successful in this area.”

John Reilly, Project Manager

No tail, many advantages Whether Woodstock Construction is operating along the coast or inland, it needs compact equipment that can be used in many applications. To get those versatile pieces, Woodstock Construction turns to Ehrbar and Sales Rep Michael Gaine for tight-tail-swing Komatsu excavators.

’We consider Ehrbar a strategic partner’ . . . continued

“We have a PC138USLC and a PC228USLC, and they are perfect for what we do,” noted Patrick. “Space is limited on jobsites, so we require compact machines that can do everything we need.

“They are even more valuable from a safety standpoint,” he added. “The 10 or 12 feet

these machines save us are incredible. Our jobsites might look big, but once we get machines, people and material there, it turns into a Honda Civic quickly. The PC138 and PC228 help us create both a safe and efficient work space.”

The company also uses a Komatsu WA200PZ wheel loader for the same reasons.

“It’s a big enough machine that we can load trailers, and the tight turning radius allows us to use it anywhere,” said Patrick.

The decision to go with Komatsu machines from Ehrbar has been one that Woodstock Construction has repeated for years.

“We consider Ehrbar a strategic partner in our business,” stated Andrew. “We had a great relationship with our original Sales Rep Dan Stanton – who recently retired – and he taught Michael well. We know that Ehrbar stands behind us. If we need something, from advice to service to equipment, they are going to help us. Ehrbar is always on top of things.”

The next step (L-R) Retired Ehrbar Sales Rep Dan Stanton built a lasting relationship with Woodstock Construction Group President at-Large Andrew Woodstock and passed it on to current Sales Rep Michael Gaine.

The Komatsu WA200PZ wheel loader is an important piece of equipment for Woodstock Construction Group because it handles heavy loads and delivers a tight turning radius.

For someone who has held a job his entire life, thinking about a future that doesn’t include some type of work is difficult to fathom.

“I love what I do,” revealed Andrew, “I’ve never been motivated by money, even when I was young, mowing yards. I’d get $100 bucks and give it to my mom. She’d hand me $5 for the movies, and I was set. There’s just something about taking a pile of rocks and making it into something beautiful. That’s what we do, just on a really large scale.”

Still, Andrew realizes he can’t lead the company forever. Fortunately, he believes the firm is in great hands going forward. “Each day that goes by I know my career is coming to a close; fortunately Patrick and Meghan are very capable and do a great job. They just point me in a direction and tell me to get to it.

“I’m not in the field much anymore,” he added. “But, there are days when I feel like I’m winding down only to start on a project, hit that sweet spot again and remember why I love doing this. I don’t think I’ll ever totally stop.” ■

A SALUTE TO AN EHRBAR CUSTOMER

BEACON RESIDENTIAL, LLC

Fishkill, N.Y.-based firm builds homes from foundation to finish

B

Beacon Residential, LLC, President Tim Owen considers himself a self-taught businessman. After earning a bachelor’s degree in building construction in 1981, he thought he had developed a solid base of knowledge about the industry. It wasn’t until he began working as a project manager for prominent contractors throughout New York that he completed his education.

“When I started out, there were no mentors who could really explain how to be business savvy,” explained Owen. “School helped me learn how to build something, but it didn’t teach me how to make money. There was definitely a learning curve to the business side of the trade.”

Tim Owen, Owner of Beacon Residential, LLC, (left) turns to Ehrbar Sales Rep Ben Brownell for equipment to power his Fishkill, N.Y., firm. “The people who stand behind the machine are an important factor when purchasing equipment,” said Owen. “I’ve known Ben for a while. He’s always steered me right in the past, and I know I can trust him going forward.”

By 2000, Owen believed he finally had the skill set to open his own company and founded Beacon Residential. Based in Fishkill, N.Y., Owen has built more than 450 homes throughout Dutchess and Westchester counties.

“We’re a general contracting firm that focuses on residential projects with a few commercial sites,” noted Owen. “A lot of the work we do is on land that I’ve purchased – I buy vacant lots and build the entire home from the foundation up.”

To maximize efficiency, Owen’s team possesses a wide array of skills. This makes it possible for them to complete jobs without subcontracting any step of the process.

“We self-perform all of the trades,” shared Owen. “We excavate the dirt, install water and sewer lines and pour the foundation. We’ll frame, roof and side a house, then install the mechanical and electrical ourselves. We do everything right up to the finish trim inside.

One of the guys can be an electrician in the morning and by lunch, he’s digging a hole or pouring concrete.”

Today, Owen employs seven people and serves as the mentor to his team, something that he never had.

“There are four people who have been with me since I founded the company,” noted Owen.

“I always emphasize to them that I’m not going to be here forever. They need to know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, so that they can have a complete understanding of how to succeed in this industry.”

Signature homes The firm has developed a quality reputation by meticulously analyzing every aspect of a

It can accommodate all our needs.”

project to ensure that the future owners will love the finished product.

“We’re fanatics on perfection, and we pay attention to every little detail,” stated Owen.

“Because we’ve been doing this for almost 20 years, we know what problems could happen at any step. That allows us to identify any potential complications ahead of time, avoid delays and create a quality home.”

Owen attributes his company’s reputation to his employees. “You’re only as good as the people on your team. They are in the trenches doing the work that everybody’s really proud of. They’re what makes the company successful – not me.”

Currently, Owen and his crew are building three new 2,500-square-foot homes while also renovating a 6,000-square-foot property. They are along the Hudson River in Beacon, N.Y., an area that is booming with growth. Taking on this trio of homes was an easy decision.

“I like to choose projects that excite me,” remarked Owen. “This was a no-brainer because we’re working in a highly desirable area while simultaneously increasing our

efficiency by building three homes at once.

Adding in a separate renovation nearby helps us to stay busy, too.”

The community of Beacon has become a popular destination for New Yorkers looking to escape the city. The migration has created a demand for higher-end homes, a trend Owen hopes to capitalize on with his current projects.

“Any chance we have to get creative is exciting,” observed Owen. “People like lofts today, so we’re able to incorporate them into our design with circular staircases leading up to them. We’ve also added vaulted ceilings and heated hardwood floors to the homes we build.”

While the residential ventures have kept the firm busy, it has also been involved with a non-profit group in the area.

“We’ve done several million dollars of work throughout the last couple of years for Cardinal Hayes in Millbrook, N.Y.,” said Owen. “This is a facility for the severely handicapped. We’ve renovated an existing wing and put an addition on to a building that helped the organization expand to meet its needs. This is home for most

telescopic handler in 2017, Owen knew it was the perfect machine for his jobs.

Throughout the last four decades, Owen has built a true appreciation for each assignment he takes on.

“I’ve been pleased with the handler’s productivity,” said Owen. “I wanted a new machine with multiple functionality, so I wouldn’t have to worry about maintenance.

The 507-42 has exceeded my expectations.”

“The biggest thing in construction is the gratification of seeing a home go up,” shared Owen. “There’s a beauty in building something that I’m proud of.”

Versatility is key When looking for new equipment to create his unique structures, Owen turns to Ehrbar Sales Representative Ben Brownell for assistance. After testing a new JCB 507-42 This 2018 JCB 3CX-14 backhoe is the newest addition to Beacon Residential’s fleet; Owner Tim Owen is highly impressed with its performance.

The JCB handler has a 42-foot reach and is rated for 7,000 lbs. With a 75-horsepower engine, it meets Tier 4 emissions standards.

The clean-burning engine does not require aftertreatment or selective catalytic reduction, allowing Owen to use it for virtually every step of the homebuilding process without any downtime.

“From unloading tractor-trailers, to placing sheathing, to moving dirt – it’s a great all-around machine,” said Owen. “It’s not too large, but it’s not small. It can accommodate all our needs. The handler also has four-wheel steering and can maneuver around the buildings quite easily where a bigger machine would have an issue.”

In addition to the JCB handler, Owen acquired a 2018 JCB 3CX-14 backhoe from Ehrbar and is highly impressed with its performance. When purchasing new equipment, versatility of the machine is only one of the factors he considers.

Owen also prefers to work with someone he knows will provide excellent support; that’s why he relies on Ehrbar.

“The people who stand behind the machine are an important factor when purchasing equipment,” said Owen. “I’ve known Ben for a while. He made it comfortable for me to buy the machines because he’s talked so highly about them. He’s always steered me right in the past, and I know I can trust him going forward.”

‘Never quit’ Throughout the last 40 years Owen has worked tirelessly to help his company thrive.

Often putting in 60 to 70 hours a week, he has dedicated his life to his job, which he believes has led to his success.

“I never quit,” stated Owen. “In life, it’s important to set goals and remember that nobody gives you anything. You have to love what you do, but you’ve got to earn it.” ■

A GOOD START

Tax law provides positives for construction businesses, but work still needed to fix Highway Trust Fund

C

Congress passed comprehensive tax reform legislation that will lower rates, spur economic growth and impact construction businesses for years to come. However, this process did not start as well as it ended for the construction industry.

Stephen E. Sandherr, CEO, AGC

Initially, the tax reform bill provided little relief for many construction firms organized as pass-throughs, such as S-corporations, limited-liability corporations and partnerships; eliminated Private Activity Bonds essential for financing transportation infrastructure, low-income housing and other public construction and public-private partnership

Stephen E. Sandherr, Chief Executive Officer of Associated General Contractors of America, says the tax legislation passed late last year was a win for construction businesses, but it failed to address the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund.

The association continues to focus on rebuilding infrastructure and modernizing multi-employer pension plans.

projects; and repealed the Historic Tax Credit, critical to the private construction market for the rehabilitation and renovation of historic buildings.

Lobbying pays dividends Associated General Contractors continued to fight for a better outcome for the construction industry through a rigorous lobbying campaign. Efforts included connecting construction company chief financial officers and certified public accountants with tax writers as well as generating thousands of pro-construction messages from members to key legislators. Our work helped convince members of Congress to ultimately reduce the corporate rate by 14 points; lower individual and pass-through rates; double the estate and gift-tax exclusion to $11 million; ensure that the tax-exempt status of Private Activity Bonds remains untouched; and prevent full repeal of the Historic Tax Credit.

Future focus That stated, there is still much work to be done in our nation’s capital in 2018. Although Congress missed an opportunity to address the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund via tax reform, we remain focused on ensuring that this administration keeps its promise to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure.

And, we are committed to efforts to modernize multi-employer pension plans for the future, among other priorities for the industry. ■ Editor’s note: This article is from a statement by Stephen E. Sandherr, Chief Executive Officer of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), regarding final passage of federal tax reform known as H.R. 1, The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act.

A CLOSER LOOK

NEW OSHA RULES

Standards reduce silica dust exposure limit, add compliance requirements

A

A new Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule regarding respirable crystalline silica dust in the construction industry requires covered employers to comply with stricter exposure limits and take steps to protect workers. OSHA reduced the exposure for construction activities to 20 percent of the previous permissible limit (from 250 micrograms per cubic meter of air to 50) averaged throughout an eight-hour shift.

The previous standard had been in place since 1971. These new regulations for the construction industry went into effect last fall.

Crystalline silica is a common earth mineral that can be found in sand, stone and other materials. Respirable crystalline silica – very small particles, at least 100 times smaller than ordinary sand – is generated when cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling and crushing stone, rock, concrete, brick, block and mortar, among others, as well as in general excavation. The smaller the particles, the deeper they penetrate into the respiratory tract.

“Silica particles are thrown into the air, and at 10 micrograms they get into your mouth and the top of your throat,” said attorney and author James R. Waite, Esq., who helps companies comply with regulatory standards. “At three to five micrograms, it gets into the chest area and under 2.5, silica dust settles into the lungs and never leaves, which can lead to silicosis and other conditions.”

Options, added steps About 2.3 million people in the United States are exposed to silica at work each year. Employers have options to meet the standard such as using water to keep dust from getting into the air and proper vacuum dust-collection systems that include HEPA filtration. Utilizing approved respirators with an assigned protection factor of at least 10 under certain conditions, such as sawing more than four hours per day outside or anytime inside, is required.

Additional requirements of the new OSHA standard include: • Assessing employee exposure to silica, if it is at or above an action level of 25 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged throughout an eight-hour day and limiting access to high-exposure areas.

James R. Waite, Esq., Attorney at Law

James R. Waite, Esq. is an equipment industry attorney. He authored the American Rental Association’s book on rental contracts and represents equipment sellers and lessors throughout North America on a wide range of issues.

Continued . . .

Respirable crystalline silica is generated when cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling and crushing stone, rock, concrete, brick, block and mortar, as well as in general excavation.

About 2.3 million people in the United States are exposed to silica at work annually.

Silicosis is an incurable lung disease that can lead to death or disability. Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and kidney disease can also result from respirable silica dust exposure. OSHA estimates the updated standard will prevent 600 deaths and more than 900 cases of silicosis annually.

15

‘It’s best to monitor’ . . . continued

• Establishing and implementing a written exposure-control plan, which identifies tasks that involve exposure as well as methods used to protect workers, including procedures to restrict access to work areas where high exposures may occur.

• Designating a competent person to implement the written control plan.

• Restricting housekeeping practices that expose workers to silica, such as the use of compressed air without a ventilation system to capture the dust and dry sweeping where effective, safe alternatives are available.

• Offering medical exams – including chest X-rays and lung-function tests – every three years for workers who are required by the standard to wear a respirator for 30 or more days in a given year.

• Training workers on the health effects of silica exposure, workplace tasks that can bring them into contact with silica, and implementing alternative means of limiting exposure.

A new Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule regarding respirable crystalline silica dust reduced the previous exposure limit to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged throughout an eight-hour shift. Employers have options to meet the standard such as using water to keep dust from getting into the air, proper vacuum-dust collection systems and approved respirators.

• Keeping records of workers’ silica exposure and medical exams.

OSHA training requirements for workers must include instructions on the health hazards of silica dust, a list of workplace tasks that can result in exposure, steps their employer has taken to protect employees and the purpose of the medical exams. Workers should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the topics during an OSHA investigation.

Penalties include a fine of $12,741 per violation, generally assessed per day for failure to abate and $124,709 per violation for “willful” or “repeat” violations.

“No one can tell by just looking if they’re at or above the monitoring level, so it’s best to monitor,” said Waite. “If you are below 25 micrograms per cubic meter, great. If not, it’s critical to meet the requirements to avoid violations and potential liability that could lead to legal claims.”

Waite said there are additional steps that companies can take to protect themselves and workers such as putting stickers on equipment that warn of potential exposure and posting signs at all entry and exit points to and from regulated areas. When cleaning equipment, individuals should never use compressed air and the person(s) performing the task should wear protection such as a proper respirator.

No excuses A separate standard was created for general and maritime industries. It, along with rules for hydraulic fracturing, went into effect this summer.

OSHA has programs that provide assistance to help small- and medium-size firms comply with the standards. It also has fact sheets available online at osha.gov.

“Contamination and the associated legal liabilities are nothing new,” said Waite. “But, when governmental agencies like OSHA begin modifying long-accepted standards, business owners are wise to take action.

Enhanced focus on regulations tends to yield similar enhancements in enforcement, making arguments such as, ‘We’ve done it this way for 30 years,’ largely irrelevant.” ■

H

Have you ever wanted more? The PC390LCi-11 excavator from Komatsu provides more stability, achieving excellent balance among power, speed and fine control.

This machine utilizes the upper structure and engine of the PC360LC models and the undercarriage of a 400-class machine. Now, Komatsu has taken that concept and made it intelligent with the introduction of its new Tier 4 Final PC390LCi-11.

“The intelligent Machine Control PC390LCi-11 delivers the exceptional production and speed of the PC360LCi-11, with full-factory, 3-D Global Navigation Satellite System machine control along with increased stability from its up-sized undercarriage,” said Komatsu Product Specialist Renee Kafka. “This makes for the perfect combination in applications such as utility or wherever heavy lifting occurs.”

“To increase comfort and convenience, the PC390LCi-11 comes standard with the machine-control-enhanced joysticks that were initially introduced on the PC210LCi-11,” noted Kafka. “Whether it is production excavating, utility trenching or heavy-attachment work, this machine helps make operators’ jobs easier, while reducing material costs by minimizing overexcavation.” ■

TIGHT-TAIL-SWING PERFORMANCE New excavator delivers outstanding lift capacity; KomVision bird’s-eye-view camera available

Y Andrew Earing, Product Manager, Tracked Machines

You can get dynamite performance in a small package. Komatsu’s Tier 4 Final PC238USLC-11 proves it with a heavy counterweight mass and rounded cab that provide true tight-tail-swing performance and greater lift capacity than most conventional excavators of the same size. And, it boosts productivity up to 4 percent compared to the Dash-10 with a new viscous fan clutch that lowers engine parasitic loads.

making it well suited for utility and highway applications and when working in confined spaces,” said Andrew Earing, Product Manager, Tracked Machines. “The machine’s contoured cab profile and sliding door allow the cab to swing within the same radius as the counterweight. The additional counterweight remains standard, giving the PC238USLC-11 equal or better lift capacity than conventional models in the same size class.”

“The PC238USLC-11 maintains the tight-tail-swing radius of its predecessor,

The PC238USLC-11 is available with Komatsu’s new KomVision, a bird’s-eye-view camera system that combines input from three cameras into a surround-view image of the machine and its environment that improves operators’ situational awareness.

“THE TECH MAKES ME FASTER.” JEROME HAYCRAFT / ASPLIN INC. / FARGO, ND

iNTELLIGENT MACHINE CONTROL “We have a Komatsu PC210LCi and it’s been better than I even expected. The speed and time you save just having your line work and not having to worry about over excavating— that’s huge. I hated those bigger commercial jobs where you’d have hundreds of stakes marking all your corners, offsets and gridlines. And to not have a need for any of that, especially if it’s an export site or it doesn’t even really have to be, just room for your spoil piles. Keeping track of corners—major time saver! I’d say, with iMC, I’m about a third faster getting the job done.”

GETTING TO GRADE FASTER Earthwork, pipeline contractor eliminates overcutting with Komatsu PC490LCi-11 excavator

W

When Randy Ellis and his wife, Trisha, prepared to build a home on the family’s ranch, he was shocked at the price to purchase 300 loads of dirt for the pad.

Instead of paying for the material, Ellis bought a dump truck and a rubber-tire backhoe, dug a pond on his property and used the dirt for the house pad. While he didn’t realize it at the time, this was the origin of what today is a successful earthwork and pipeline business, R&T Ellis, Inc. Nearly a year ago, R&T Ellis purchased its first Komatsu excavator, an intelligent Machine Control PC490LCi-11.

“We already had used Topcon aftermarket GPS, so I liked that Komatsu integrated it into its intelligent Machine Control products,” said Ellis. “It saves us time and money by eliminating the need to put up and take down the masts, and we no longer worry about them getting damaged or stolen.”

Plug in plans and go The excavator utilizes 3-D design data loaded into the machine’s monitor to accurately display machine position relative to target grade. When the bucket reaches the target surface, automation kicks in to limit overexcavation.

“What stands out (about the PC490LCi) is the increased production and efficiency. We simply plug the plans into the machine and go to work.

With minimal staking, we can put everything to grade faster and without the concerns about overcutting or needing someone to constantly check grade,” noted Ellis. ■

Randy Ellis, President

R&T Ellis Operator Sergio Bellestros loads trucks with a Komatsu intelligent Machine Control PC490LCi-11. “It’s like a knife through butter,” described Bellestros of digging with the excavator. “With the built-in GPS, I can get to grade without worrying about overcutting or having to leave it at a certain elevation for a dozer to finish.”

R&T Ellis recently put the PC490LCi to work on a project that involved digging a canal from a river to a treatment plant in preparation for bringing a new supply of drinking water to a major U.S. city. The company’s role included clearing 350 acres, building a six-and-a-half mile gravel access road to the canal, installing piping and moving more than 650,000 yards of earth.

“It’s like a knife through butter,” shared R&T Ellis Operator Sergio Bellestros about his experience in digging with the excavator on the canal project. “With the built-in GPS, I can get to grade without worrying about overcutting or having to leave it at a certain elevation for a dozer to finish.”

NEW HORIZONS

New Director of Training and Publications Bill Chimley aims for world-class results This is one of a series of articles based on interviews with key people at Komatsu discussing the company’s commitment to its customers in the construction and mining industries – and their visions for the future.

Bill Chimley, Director of Training and Publications

Bill Chimley took over as the Director of Training and Publications at the Komatsu Cartersville Customer Center in Cartersville, Ga., in October 2017. Prior to that, he served for five years as the General Manager of the Supply Chain Division at the Chattanooga Manufacturing Operation facility. “I am very excited to be here in this new position,” said Chimley. “We host some incredible events for both our customers and employees. From Demo Days to daily training classes, we have a lot of traffic through this facility.”

Chimley has 13 years of experience with Komatsu. He worked as a District Sales Manager covering multiple South Region distributors before moving to the Supply Chain Division in 2010 when he was named Manager of Customer Support and Logistics. In 2012, Chimley was promoted to the General Manager position, where he was responsible for the planning, ordering and logistics of mining, construction, utility and forestry machines in North America.

At each stop, Chimley has focused on improvement strategies.

“Komatsu America practices a philosophy called ‘Kaizen,’ which means continual improvement,” explained Chimley. “In every position, I’ve tried to raise the bar, whether that means implementing inventory forecasting process improvements or designing how we use technology to deliver training and publications materials, Komatsu is very supportive.”

Away from the office, Chimley enjoys spending time with his wife and two teenage daughters. They love to travel and listen to music together. Chimley’s ideal get away would be trout fishing in a cold mountain stream on a sunny spring day.

BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP Team assesses Madden Materials’ operations; improvements save enough to buy additional equipment

A

Approximately two years ago, Joe and Sofia Regalado acquired Madden Materials, adding to the couple’s already hefty work load as they operated a trucking company and another material supply business. The new venture came with challenges, so they turned to their local Komatsu distributor, who connected them with the Business Solutions Group to help formulate an action plan.

The Business Solutions Group offers bottom-line tactics that maximize production and efficiency. The group studies customers’ existing operations, considers alternatives and provides recommendations. The service is complimentary.

In Madden Materials’ case, the Business Solutions Group partnered with the distributor to conduct an Optimized Fleet Recommendation (OFR) study on how to move sand from the pit to a new wash plant most effectively. Members of the Business Solutions Group took into account the productive potential of various sizes of excavators, wheel loaders and trucks to identify the most efficient fleet, depending on production needs and other factors.

“They assessed the site – how we load, haul distance, tons of product the plant needed per hour – and determined that smaller units would be best,” said Owner/Chief Executive Officer Joe Regalado. “They projected operating costs by considering fuel, operator pay, maintenance and more.”

Before the study, Regalado was convinced he needed to add a large truck, possibly a 60-ton rigid frame, and pair it with an existing 50-ton-plus excavator. The Business Solutions Group showed him other options, including using a Komatsu 30-ton articulated dump truck and a PC360LC excavator.

Joe Regalado, Owner/Chief Executive Officer, Madden Materials

Money-saving strategies “The same production with smaller equipment means less fuel and maintenance as well as lower overall costs,” said Regalado. “The study saved us enough money that we could buy a second WA380 loader. The assessment was done at no charge. That’s an incredible benefit, and they have finished a second OFR study to determine our present and future needs as we continue to expand and move farther away from the plant.” ■

Komatsu’s Business Solutions Group recommended a smaller articulated haul truck, an HM300, as part of its assessment of Madden Materials’ operations. “The same production with smaller equipment means less fuel and maintenance as well as lower overall costs,” said Joe Regalado, Owner/ Chief Executive Officer.

NEW REMAN FACILITY

Komatsu helps customers save money, boosts availability of high-quality remanufactured products

I

If you need to replace components, or even an engine, you want the most-cost effective solution possible. Oftentimes, that may involve using the high-quality remanufactured products available through Komatsu’s reman facilities.

Recently opened, and located at the Chattanooga Manufacturing Operation, the reman facility grew out of a fact-finding effort in Komatsu’s Reman/Overhaul Group led

by Senior Product Manager Goran Zeravica and Product Manager Michael Carranza.

One of their first steps involved talking with customers and Komatsu distributors to gauge their expectations.

“They provided valuable feedback to act upon, including the need for expanding our availability and offering of reman products,” shared Zeravica. “That’s one of the reasons we opened a new reman facility; the other reason was to expand engine-testing ability for our customers. The new facility supplies like-new engines that meet Komatsu’s stringent standards, so customers can rest assured they are getting quality, reliable products with long lives.”

Quality confidence Komatsu demonstrates its confidence in reman products by providing two warranties*: Komatsu Genuine Reman Warranty Coverage (Standard): • Applies to Genuine Reman components • One year • Unlimited hours Komatsu Genuine Reman Component Quality Assurance: • Applies to engines, transmissions, torque flows, final drives, differentials, axle assemblies, travel motors and main hydraulic pumps • Four years • Prorated, up to 10,000 hours ■ * Additional qualifications are required. Talk to your Komatsu distributor for more information.

Michael Carranza, Product Manager

Goran Zeravica, Senior Product Manager

Komatsu’s new reman facility brings original equipment manufacturer expertise to the table, while boosting availability through reman and retesting capabilities.

Substantial inventory Komatsu has already amassed an extensive inventory. Reman products are available from various sources such as the Ripley Parts Operation, Peoria Parts Department and regional parts depots.

“Availability and fast access are vital to minimizing downtime,” said Carranza. “A good inventory ensures that when an order is placed, a replacement item is shipped right away. Once the repair is complete, the customer can send in their used component, and we will give them a credit for it.”

EIA: Wind to blow past hydro in renewable energy production

T

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects wind to surpass hydroelectric in domestic, renewable-energy production this year.

EIA predicts hydropower will fall to 6.5 percent from 7.4 percent of the nation’s overall energy output in 2018. Wind generated 6.3 percent last year, and EIA anticipates it will rise to 6.9 percent by 2019. Weather will play a big role in what the final numbers look like at the end of 2018.

“Because few new hydro plants are expected to come online in the next two years, hydroelectric generation in 2018 and 2019 will largely depend on precipitation and water runoff,” EIA said in its analysis. “Although changes in weather patterns also affect wind generation, the forecast for wind-power output is more dependent on the capacity and timing of new wind turbines coming online.” ■
