Doosan Portable Power, forklift and industrial air to rebrand as Bobcat Doosan Bobcat has announced three additional product lines will be rebranded under the Bobcat trade dress.

Doosan Portable Power (DPP), a global manufacturer of air compressors, mobile generators and light towers; Doosan Industrial Air (DIA) rotary air compressor lines; and Doosan Industrial Vehicle (DIV), a supplier of material handling equipment, including forklifts, will rebrand under the Bobcat trade dress in North America and applicable markets worldwide.

“Bobcat is an iconic brand that changed the world with the invention of the compact equipment industry, and we are excited to unleash the brand in bold, new ways,” said Scott Park, Doosan Bobcat CEO and Vice Chairman.

“Doosan Portable Power, Doosan Indus-

trial Air and Doosan Industrial Vehicle have long legacies of developing high-quality products. Bringing these strong Doosan brands into the Bobcat portfolio allows us to further expand these business lines, while also growing our overall Doosan Bobcat business and providing even more solutions to help our customers accomplish more.”

The branding approach to the organization’s portable power, industrial air and industrial vehicle equipment offerings aims to strengthen overall brand equity, market recognition and consumer recall of all product offerings.

As well, the transition aims to create a cohesive customer experience and grow the organization’s footprint, making the brand accessible to more customers and in more places.

In the last five years, Bobcat has broadened its product portfolio significantly, launching more machines during this period than previously in its entire history.

The Bobcat brand has successfully expanded its offerings with new technologies and innovations and expanded product lines, such as grounds maintenance equipment, which includes compact tractors, small articulated loaders and zero-turn mowers.

“The Bobcat brand empowers ambitious and passionate groundbreakers to accomplish more. Across the globe, big challenges get smaller because of our equipment; from breaking down walls to building up communities, we’re proud to provide people what they need to be successful in

their endeavors,” said Laura Ness Owens, Doosan Bobcat Vice President of global brand and North American marketing.

“By expanding the Bobcat brand to the portable power, industrial air and industrial vehicle industries, Bobcat can help even more customers, in more ways than ever.”

With this refreshed identity, the new Bobcat-branded DPP, DIA and DIV product suites will, respectively, undergo design and aesthetic changes in alignment with current branding.

The Bobcat-branded material handling equipment, industrial air compressors and portable power products are expected to be available for customer purchase through Doosan Bobcat’s global dealer network at a later date.

Holcim wins Contractors’ Choice award at ConExpo Holcim’s ECOPact low-carbon concrete has won the inaugural Next Level Awards Contractors’ Choice at ConExpo-Con/Agg and IFPE 2023.

ConExpo attendees were able to cast their vote for the Contractors’ Choice award during the trade show from March 14 to 16.

The Next Level Awards were announced in August, and the 10 finalists were selected by members of the Association of General Contractors in February.

The awards celebrate ConExpo exhibitors that push

boundaries and develop next-level products, technologies or services designed to advance the construction industry.

"We are proud to announce Holcim as the winner of the inaugural Next Level Awards – Contractors’ Choice,” said Dana Wuesthoff, ConExpo-Con/Agg. "Their commitment to excellence and innovation in the construction industry is truly impressive, and it is evident that they are highly regarded by the industry."

Holcim’s ECOPact concrete delivers a versatile solution to

the carbon challenge, offering up to 90 per cent lower carbon dioxide emissions compared with standard concrete mix designs.

"We are honoured to have ECOPact low-carbon concrete recognized as the Contractors’ Choice for the inaugural Next Level Awards Program," said Toufic Tabbara, Region Head for North America at Holcim.

“We are committed to changing the way we build a more sustainable future and helping our customers reduce the carbon footprint of their projects.”

The Contractors’ Choice finalists were judged on the following criteria: Addresses a common industry need in a unique and innovative way Benefits the industry across multiple applications Positively impacts safety, sustainability and work- dustry standards.

Topcon acquires Digital Construction Works Topcon Positioning Systems has acquired Digital Construction Works (DCW), a construction software and data integrations and services company.

DCW services and software integration platform will help customers navigate and maximize the use of construction data made available across multiple apps and software.

Today’s construction business owners have more available data than ever before, but it is often a challenge to distill information from so many sources.

To make the most well-informed business decisions, Digital Construction Works provides contractors with an easy way to understand all of the data generated from multiple digital tools and software along every phase of a project.

Topcon announced the acquisition at ConExpo in Las Vegas.

“DCW enables the connection of the job site and the office,” said Jason Hallett, vice president and general manager of Digital Construction Works.

“Automation and the availability of integrated and aggregated data provide greater insights into project performance and status.

Now, as part of Topcon, our integrations platform enhances the value of Topcon’s interoperability with third-party software typically used to execute machine-guided operations.”

The Digital Construction Works team continues to focus on integrations that connect a project’s planning and design phase with the construction and field completion phases.

S

may be used in a variety of structural components, including foundations, columns and beams, walls, driveways and walkways.

To save natural resources, ECOPact may also include construction and demolition waste.

We always deliver TOP QUALITY product on-time, every time for over 40 years.

Hyundai debuts its ‘true two-pass’ HL985A wheel loader Hyundai Construction Equipment has introduced the HL985A, its largest capacity A Series wheel loader model, which offers a standard 7 cubic metre bucket.

Introduced at ConExpo, the HL985A is designed for use in high-production jobs such as quarrying, aggregates and other mass-volume material handling applications.

“We refer to the HL985A as a ‘true twopass’ wheel loader because it can fill one of our HA30 articulated dump trucks with two bucket loads,” said Joe Turnage, Senior Product Manager for Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas.

“With the addition of the HL985A, the Hyundai wheel loader line includes models that fulfill the needs of every important wheel loader application. At the same time, like every A Series wheel loader model, the new Hyundai HL985A provides the combination of power, performance, fuel efficiency, and operator safety and comfort that successful contractors expect from Hyundai.”

The Hyundai HL985A wheel loader is powered by a 430-hp Cummins X12 Performance Series engine. The engine provides optimum power and torque, while maintaining fuel efficiency and meeting Tier 4 Final and Stage 5 emissions standards.

“Our customers tell us they appreciate that our A Series wheel loaders do not use exhaust gas recirculation because it is not necessary to do periodic shutdowns,” Turnage said.

Powered by a ZF 5-speed transmission, the loader is equipped with heavy-duty ZF axles with wet outboard brakes and coolers are standard equipment.

The HL985A bucket includes a three-piece

bolt-on cutting edge and an auto-level feature that helps prevent bucket spillage.

Also, a heavy counterweight enhances the machine’s stability.

Advanced A Series features The Hyundai HL985A offers Smart Power Mode, which reduces fuel consumption by adjusting the engine speed in heavy-duty applications. This can save fuel while balancing traction and breakout forces to improve productivity.

As well, Hyundai’s Eco Gauge enables the operator to monitor fuel consumption in real time or to review historical data. Eco Gauge also displays engine torque, fuel efficiency, average and total fuel consumed. Hourly and daily fuel consumption is viewable through the menu.

The wheel loader is available with Hyundai’s All-Around View Monitoring (AAVM) system. Now enhanced with radar, the AAVM system includes four cameras, providing 360-degree views, and incorporates motion detection for enhanced operator and jobsite safety.

For high-volume, material-handling applications that require monitoring and reporting the weight of materials loaded or moved, Hyundai’s enhanced, proprietary onboard weighing system is accurate to within one per cent and includes a cumulative weighing function that facilitates the creation of production reports.

also equipped with a heated air-ride seat; cab heater and air conditioner; rearview camera; electronically adjustable, heated and foldable rearview mirrors; AM/FM radio with Bluetooth; and a 15 cm multi-function monitor and control panel.

Simplified maintenance For operator convenience, consolidated service drains and the diesel exhaust fluid tank spout are located on the right side of the wheel loader. Furthermore, the hood opens and closes via an electronic control.

Dual battery boxes and swing-out cooling package are easily accessible, while the incab HVAC system filter is within reach for removal and replacement.

Case brings back its Construction King backhoe loaders Case Construction Equipment is reviving its “Construction King” backhoe loaders with the introduction of five new machines for the North American market.

The Case Utility Plus and the Case 580SV Construction King centre pivot models are immediately available. Case will introduce three additional models later this year, including 580SV Construction King side shift, and two 695SV models, including one with centre pivot and one with side shift.

“The Case backhoe was the original two-in-one machine, and 65 years later we’re experiencing workforce challenges and more diverse jobsite needs, all with a focus on efficiency, that is driving a true revolution for the backhoe market,” said George MacIntyre, Product Manager for Case Construction Equipment.

“Once the hero for the owner/operator, we’re providing even more backhoe loader options now that make these machines extremely at-

tractive for businesses who are having trouble finding skilled operators, and who could benefit from the lower owning and operating costs of having all that functionality in a single machine.”

The new Construction King models add to the existing lineup of N Series backhoes.

Case Utility Plus The all-new Utility Plus delivers full-sized backhoe performance in an efficient platform that’s easy to own and maintain. The new 74 hp machine features a large cab with sightlines to all work areas, a maintenance-free emissions system (no DPF and no DEF), and pilot or mechanical control options.

Mechanical controls are offered for the more experienced operators who like that traditional backhoe feel, while pilot controls are available for rental businesses and contractors with less-experienced operators.

“You could call this an entry-level machine, but it performs and delivers options like a full-sized backhoe,” MacIntyre said.

“We’ve built it so that you can focus on simplicity, ideal for rental applications and businesses where this isn’t a daily production tool, but also committed to options such as the Extendahoe and attachment performance via one-way auxiliary hydraulics on the dipper for businesses that want to use this machine for more. It’s built to be versatile and allow equipment owners to build up from a simple base model.”

Case 580SV Construction King The all-new Case 580SV Construction King brings a tool carrier-style front end back to the Case backhoe line in North America.

This backhoe is ideal for businesses who use the loader end of their backhoe as a primary material handler for loading and unloading pallets, moving pipe and other bundled material around the yard.

Adding a 4-in-1 bucket, a 6-in-1 bucket, or any of the countless attachments available for Case backhoes turns this into a multi-purpose jobsite solution. The new centre

pivot model is immediately available to the North American market, and Case will be rolling out a side-shift model later in 2023.

“At 97 horsepower, the Case 580SV Construction King is a simple yet robust addition to any backhoe fleet and, like the Utility Plus, can be optioned up into a more premium backhoe experience with features such as the Extendahoe and Auto-Ride Control,” MacIntyre said.

The side-shift model, available later in 2023, will deliver more jobsite flexibility and performance in confined spaces. The Case 580SV Construction King side shift will feature in-line vertical stabilizers for offset digging and working in applications where operators have to get right up against structures, or take up less space, such as in roadside utility work.

“The combination of inline stabilizers and a backhoe digging boom that can shift from side to side allows operators to get right up against buildings and structures and takes up even less space on roadside applications with stabilizers that operate within the footprint of the machine,” MacIntryre said.

New models coming soon Later this year, Case will introduce the 695SV Construction King models, including a centre-pivot model and a side-shift model.

The 695SV Construction King is a larger, more powerful backhoe loader with four-wheel steer and equally sized tires.

The four-wheel steer and large tires make it an ideal machine for loading operations while offering the versatility to switch out loader and backhoe attachments.

It also includes the parallel lift tool carrier style loader arms for more intense material handling operations.

“It’s perfect for municipalities and larger construction sites that need to effectively perform both loader and backhoe operations,” MacIntyre said.

“As these new models hit the market, Case will have one of the largest and most diverse backhoe offerings in the industry.”

Cat’s Global Operator Challenge crowns a new World Champion Patrick Doheny from Australia has won the title of World Champion in Caterpillar’s Global Operator Challenge.

Doheny took the crown out of nine finalists from around the world who competed in the final round of the Global Operator Challenge in the Cat Operator Stadium During ConExpo in Las Vegas.

“I am beyond thrilled to have earned the title of the best Caterpillar machine operator on the planet,” Doheny said. “Kudos to Caterpillar for hosting such an incredible event to highlight the importance of our profession. It is truly a dream come true to see your life’s passion be re-

warded in such an amazing way.”

As champion, Doherty wins a trip for two to a location where Caterpillar has one of its worldwide production facilities.

Matt Fe r r i s f ro m t h e United States placed second in the competition, followed by Łukasz Mokrzynski from Poland placing third.

“Caterpillar created this competition to celebrate machine operators who build our world, advocate and drive awareness for their trade, and highlight solutions that address jobsite challenges,” said Jason Hurdis, Caterpillar Global Operator Challenge Execution Lead and Global Market Professional. “All of the com-

petitors – and especially our nine finalists – showed tremendous skills and abilities operating the latest Cat construction machines and technologies, maneuvering through some difficult challenges and showing the world the invaluable role they play in infrastructure creation.”

5,500 contestants The challenge kicked off in the spring of 2022 with more than 10,000 operators worldwide signing up to compete. After a pre-qualification phase, the first round featured 5,500 contestants competing in local events organized by 77 Cat dealers in 32 countries. The second round in the fall of 2022 consisted of four regional events held in the United States, Brazil, Spain, and Japan.

These competitions included digging a trench, loading a precise amount of dirt, and hauling or maneuvering the machines through obstacles.

The finals kicked off with the “Fork ‘n Loader” challenge, where each operator used the Cat 950 wheel loader with Payload technology

to load and move material through specified locations on the course.

The “Backhoe Services” challenge had operators using both ends of the Cat 420 XE backhoe to open a small box and precisely place small objects inside. This challenge was designed by Canada’s Jaus Neigum, the 2020 inaugural Caterpillar Global Operator Challenge Wo r l d C h a m p i o n , a n d highlighted Caterpillar’s Customer Value Agreements and services offerings.

During the final “Trench Run” challenge, operators showed off their trenching skills using a Cat 315 excavator equipped with Grade technology.

Final scores were based on the operator’s skills, efficiency, and competence in executing a variety of tasks, with penalties imposed for errors. Awards were given to the overall event champion, the individual with the lowest time in each skills challenge, and the team with the lowest combined score. The operators completed the challenges using Cat construction machines

The future of John Deere excavators At ConExpo, John Deere offered the first glimpse of its all-new future generation of excavators.

The new machines leverage advanced solutions developed for other product lines and production systems across the John Deere enterprise.

The first three future generation excavators include the 145 P-Tier, 360 P-Tier and the 210 P-Tier.

“This is the foundation for every future generation excavator that we will have,” said Aaron Klauer, John Deere’s global product manager for mid-and-large size excavators.

To create the new excavator foundation from the ground up, Deere built the machines in collaboration with its customers, who returned to assist with validating machine performance.

“There was feedback all the way to tell us this is the right way to go,” Klauer said.

The three new machines are designed to deliver industry leading performance, reliability and durability fea-

With a new ability to leverage the entire suite of John Deere advanced technology solutions, the future generation excavators will provide enhancements in connectivity, safety, automation and grade management.

“By having that design control, we can leverage the entire power of the Deere enterprise and all of the technological capabilities and advancements we’re doing,” Klauer said. “We can John Deere's 51-tonne 510 P-Tier excavator is one of two updated machines introduced at ConExpo.

By using a more efficient powertrain, including the integration of E-fans, the new 510 P-Tier provides up to 25 per cent lower maintenance costs, 15 per cent lower repair costs and 20 per cent lower fuel consumption.

“It has lower fuel consumption, better cost of maintenance and better reliability than we’ve ever been able to deliver before in this size class,” Klauer said.

Canada’s 1st Grove GMK6400-1 opens new doors for A.W. Leil The new Grove GMK6400-1 all-terrain crane, purchased

by A.W. Leil Cranes and Equipment, has been in constant demand since it left its base in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

The crane arrived in December and is the first Grove GMK6400-1 to arrive in Canada. Due to fleet capacity constraints, A.W. Leil had been excluded from opportunities in its market, particularly in providing maintenance services to wind turbines it had erected in the early 2000s.

“Our largest crane was 400 tons, which usually left us just shy of being able to service larger wind towers, so we recognized there was a need to upsize,” said A.W. Leil President Ryan Long. “We were initially looking at 500 to 650-ton machines, but once we started doing careful comparisons, plotting out every tiny detail in a spreadsheet, the GMK6400-1 kept shining through.”

The 450-ton GMK6400-1 features self-rigging MegaWingLift and MAXbase variable-position outriggers that support a lifting performance usually only seen on seven or eight-axle A.W. Leil’s GMK6400-1 hasn’t stopped working since heading to its first wind farm on PEI. cranes.

Shawmut Equipment of Canada provided hands-on operator and technician training to A.W. Leil’s team at handover, where the crane joined its fleet of Grove TMS truck cranes and National Crane boom trucks. The crane hasn’t stopped working since heading to its first wind farm on Prince Edward Island.

Road-legal status Working throughout the Maritimes, the GMK6400-1’s road-legal status is highly appreciated by A.W. Leil.

“Taxi work is crucial for us, so the icing on the cake is that we can just head straight out, trailing a boom dolly behind,” Long said. “Other machines in the region have to spend extra time and work sending extra permits, trucks and boom launching before every single mobilization. In the end, that’s added cost to the customer. The GMK6400-1’s easy roading really has been a major turning point for us.”

A.W. Leil’s Crane and Rigging Supervisor Ryan Bruce was also impressed by the speed and logical nature of the process and the easily accessible plug-in ports for the remote handset that eliminates trips to the operator’s cab.

“The best thing about it has to be the safety package,” Bruce said. “Manitowoc has outdone itself with the amount of fall protection and the easy erection of safety rails on everything from boom to jib.”

The GMK6400-1 has a 60-metre main boom and when fitted with its full complement of jib, it can achieve a maximum tip height of 136 metres. The all-terrain crane boasts a compact overall package, with a length of 17.5 metres and boom overhang of 1.8 metres. Grove’s MegaWingLift system increases lift capacities by up to 70 per cent on the main boom and up to 400 per cent on the luffing jib.

“We’re not a huge company,” Long said. “But our fantastic new crane helps us punch above our weight and hopefully tells the market that we’re ready to take on any challenge.”

The C13D is Cat’s first digitally designed engine For Caterpillar, redesigning its 13-litre diesel engine is a once every three decades endeavor.

So, when Cat’s engineers set out to develop the new C13D engine, they were tasked with creating an engine that delivers best-inclass power density, torque and fuel efficiency for heavy duty off-highway applications.

The result is a new platform that can replace three existing engines in Cat’s portfolio. The C13D supplies comparable power and torque available from Cat’s current 13, 15 and single-turbo 18-litre engine platforms.

Caterpillar unveiled the new C13D at Allegiant Stadium, home to the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, during ConExpo in March.

“It gives us the ability to take this platform and use it in applications where our competition, and our own platforms, are using much bigger engines,” said Mark Stratton, Vice President of Large Engines at Cat Industrial Power Systems. “We only do this once every 30 years, so we’re going to do it right.”

The Cat C13D engine is targeted for a wide range of off-highway equipment, including rock crushers, screeners, grinders, trenchers, agriculture tractors, harvesters, woodchippers, material-handling equipment and large industrial pumps.

The inline, six-cylinder engine platform will offer eight power ratings from 456 to 690 hp with up to 3,200 Nm of peak torque. Engine mounted aftertreatment and cooling packs will also be available from the factory to reduce installation and validation costs.

The new engine platform offers up to a 20 per cent increase in power and up to 25 per cent more low-speed torque over the previous generation of Cat engines in its power class.

Engineers designed the Cat C13D engine with 45 per cent less leak joints to improve reliability and maintenance.

As well, service intervals are extended up to 1,000 hours.

Depending on the application, the C13D also consumes between five and 25 per cent less fuel.

“For many of our customers, it really helps their bottom line,” Stratton said.

“A significant portion of their operating budget is their fuel bill and if we can help them make that a little less painful, that’s something we can be proud of.”

The engine is designed to perform at altitudes of up to 3,657 metres, twice as high as legacy Cat engines, and in

temperatures as high as 60C or as low as -40C with aids.

“We know our customers are going to put these engines in some very harsh environments,” Stratton said.

“We’re pleased it can operate anywhere in the world.”

The combination of the all-new rear gear train, stiffer core architecture and common rail fuel system reduces noise by up to 3 dB when compared with the C13D’s predecessors.

“We spent a lot of time and effort making the engine quiet,” Stratton said. “We analyzed the harmonics over and over again of the block, the geartrain, the head and all components to reduce the vibrations that create noise.”

Renewable fuel options The Cat C13D engine platform enables the use of 100 per cent Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), B100 distilled biodiesel, and even up to B100 standard biodiesel. As well, its core architecture is designed to accommodate the future development of natural gas and hydrogen fuel capabilities.

The C13D will meet Tier 4 Final, Stage V, China Nonroad IV, Korea Stage V, and Japan 2014 emission standards.

By modular izing and eliminating components, its architecture is space-protected to accommodate configuration adjustments anticipated for future tiers of emission standards in the United States and Europe without relocating customer connection points.

First digital design The C13D is also the first engine that was designed and tested in a virtual environment.

Previously, developing a new engine would require building a physical prototype for testing, refining the prototype, then testing again.

“Before we ever made the first part or put it in our lab, we had extensive testing and validation in the virtual world,” Stratton said.

“We can literally run thousands of different piston ring simulations overnight with our simulation capability.”

The virtual design process also allowed Cat to optimize the engine for manufacturing.

“It’s not just the engine itself, we also fully simulated the assembly process to make sure when we get done w ith this engine, there’s not a bolt you can’t get to,” Stratton said.

“We believe we’ve really optimised this platform to perform for the future.”

Dedicated to diesel Jaz Gill, Vice President of Sales, Marketing, Service and Parts at Caterpillar Industrial Power Systems, explained the company is investing heavily in new power technologies like, batter y-electric, hybrid and alternative fuels such as HVO. “While all of these new technologies bode well for the future, the tried and trusted internal combustion engine has been the pri-

mary workhorse of the vast majority of jobsites around the world,” Gill said.

“At Caterpillar, we’re dedicated to diesel. We see huge opportunities now and in the future for internal combustion engines.”

The C13D will be available for early OEM pilots in 2025 and scheduled for production in 2026.

With the introduction of the LR 1400 SX, Liebherr has extended its crawler crane range to include lifting capacities of up to 400 tonnes.

At ConExpo, Liebherr introduced the LR 1400 SX, its largest multipurpose crawler crane, as one of its new flagship machines for the North American market.

At the trade show, the LR 1400 SX was fitted with a 41 metre main boom and a 44 metre luffing jib.

“The LR 1400 SX features a compact design which makes it easy to transport,” said Kai Friedrich, Managing Director of Liebherr USA. “Like all Liebherr equipment, the crane features several assistance systems that support safe and easy operation on all jobsites.”

With the compact transport weight of 46 tonnes, the complete crane can be easily transported b e t w e e n j o b s i t e s. T h e machine’s platform and railings remain attached to the uppercarriage during transportation and only need to be folded down.

Due to the crane’s self-assembly system, the boom sections, carbody counterweight, crawlers and hoist winches can be easily assembled. The LR 1400 SX can even hydraulically lift, lower and secure the 150 tonne rear counterweight without assistance.

“The safe loading system and remote control enables this crane to be ready for operation within a work day, and does not require heavy tools or auxilliary cranes,” Friedrich said.

The four crawler drives make it easier to maneuver the LR 1400 SX on jobsites where space is tight. Thanks to the track width adjustment, access on narrow roads is also simplified.

proves the crane’s ability to navigate slopes. The control system automatically calculates the centre of gravity and warns the operator before the crane leaves the safe area.

W h i l e t rave l l i ng, t h e operator receives information about the permissible and actual gradient, and the crane's overall centre of gravity.

As well, the Ground Pressure Visualization feature calculates the real-time ground pressure of the crane and compares it with the specified safety limits of the relevant position.

During a lift, the operator can lower these plates to significantly increase the crane's ground contact area. This provides the ability to reduce ground pressure under the crane by more than half.

Boom assistant When erecting or lowering the boom, the Boom Up-and-Down Assistant system indicates the approach to the tipping border and automatically stops operation before the operator enters an unsafe zone. Furthermore, the operator no longer has to move the winches of the main boom and luffing jib separately. Controlled folding of the luffing jib begins at the press of a button. The speed of the laying down procedure is controlled with a single joystick.

Flexible operation

Radio remote control gives the crane operator flexibility and additional safety during operation.

The crane can be operated from outside the cab to allow for a better overview of the construction site and avoid blind spots.

Depending on the application, a second person is no longer required to assist Gradient Travel Aid with hand signals during Gradient Travel Aid im- lifting operations.

COMPACT EQUIPMENT “TOTALLY FOCUSED ON COMPACT EQUIPMENT” Yanmar enters the compact track loader market Yanmar Compact Equipment is now a comprehensive compact equipment provider following the introduction of its new line of compact track loaders.

Making their debut at ConExpo, the TL65RS, TL75VS, TL80VS and TL100VS compact track loaders are construction-grade machines ranging from 67 to 103.5 hp.

The new line of CTLs joins Yanmar’s compact equipment lineup that includes mini excavators, compact wheel loaders and tracked carriers.

“We’re a one-stop shop now for Yanmar customers. This really rounds out our compact equipment portfolio,” said Tate Johnson, President of Yanmar Compact Equipment North America.

The operator experience is a key focus of the machines with 360-degree visibility and a standard suspended seat for more comfort. A removable roof hatch escape offers an optimized safety feature for operators.

The four CTLs also include several optional efficiency-enhancing features to improve operator experience and productivity. These include a work tool positioner, return-to-position technology, self-levelling, ride control and auto two-speed capabilities.

The four CTLs are powered by Yanmar Tier 4 Final engines.

CTL tech The loaders incorporate Yanmar’s optional SmartAssist telematics from the company’s mini excavator line. The telematics system features error detection and notification as well as real-time operational status updates and daily work reports.

SmartAssist also includes integrated theft protection, allowing owners to set a range

from a specific location and trigger an alert if that range is exceeded. An 18-cm colour touchscreen display is standard on each of the new compact track loaders.

Production of the TL100VS will start this spring, while the other three machines will begin production in late 2023.

Yanmar and ASV The new CTL line follows the announcement that Yanmar CE and ASV finalized its status as a single legal entity. The two brands have operated as Yanmar Compact Equipment North America (YCENA) since July 2020. The acquisition of ASV provided Yanmar with its first production capabilities in North America.

The alignment as one single entity will allow a wider range of compact equipment offerings long-term and a single route for dealers to do business with YCENA. “We’re one consolidated team taking the best of legacy Yanmar and legacy ASV,” Johnston said. “It gives us a singular organization that is totally focused on compact equipment. It gives us an organization that eats, sleeps and breathes compact construction equipment.”

While the two equipment brands are a single legal entity, Yanmar CE and ASV will remain distinct under YCENA with each brand retaining its product lines and dealer networks.

The ASV brand will continue to develop loaders with its Posi-Track undercarriage and enhanced cooling capabilities aimed at high performance applications. As proof that “ASV isn’t going anywhere,” Johnson pointed to the new CTLs unveiled at ConExpo, the VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry.

“ASV will continue to live on as a loader specialist,” Johnson said.

ASV introduces the VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry CTLs ASV is expanding its compact track loader line with the new VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry Posi-Track CTLs. Making its debut at ConExpo, the VT-100 compact track loader is a vertical lift machine designed for loading and grading applications in landscaping and construction. The VT-100 Forestry is suited for mulching, right-ofway clearance and site prep applications.

“They are the perfect option for those looking for a little more power than the RT-75 without having to go to the heavy hitter of all CTLs, the RT-135,” said Buck

Storlie, Product Manager for the ASV brand. “The lifting capabilities, pushing power and hydraulic flow of the new VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry is sure to impress.”

Both machines are equipped with a 103.5 hp Tier 4 Final Yanmar diesel engine and standard 151 litres per minute hydraulic flow. The loaders’ large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps transfer more flow and pressure directly to the attachment and reduces power loss. The VT100 features a 1,587 kg rated operating capacity and 4,665 kg tipping load while the VT-

100 Forestry includes a 1,678 kg rated operating capacity and a 4,470 kg tipping load.

The VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry feature ASV’s patented Posi-Track rubber track suspension.

The load-sensing system offers both improved efficiency and fuel savings. The system regulates the hydraulic pump, so it only produces what’s necessary to complete the work rather than using maximum flow all the time.

Both machines are available with optional remote-control capabilities. The remote is available as a factory or field-install option and al-

lows operators to control the The compact track loaders loader from a distance with feature a maximum travel a harness-mounted control speed of up to 15 km per box. hour. A low 4.0 psi ground

pressure from both models allows smooth performance on sensitive or unstable surfaces.

(L to R) Oliver Kahl, sales specialist for Bobcat of Parry Sound and Jackson Kuhn, owner of Georgian Rangers (named after his first boat) pose for a picture near current job site on street that he had five customer job sites on.

Jackson Kuhn worked alongside his father in his sawmill as a young man and helped him with timber framing. “Working with my dad is what got me excited doing hands-on work,” exclaimed Jackson. From there, he worked for a top-notch landscaping company in Georgian Bay for five years. Being a machine operator is like second nature to Jackson. For three of those years, he ran his own crew. He learned a lot from this company and decided to run with what he had learned and started his own company, Georgian Rangers, after finishing school and playing professional hockey overseas for four years. His father Mark now works with him consulting and managing yet is not afraid to get his hands dirty.

Georgian Rangers specialize in large-sized landscaping, including stonework, site work, boulder walls, laying flagstone, and shoreline restoration in the Georgian Bay area. They also have an arborist and irrigation and lighting division with recent expansion considerations into full build construction division. “Since Covid, we have been working full throttle with no sign of slowing down. We are actually booked for the next two years,” exclaimed Jackson.

When asked why they use Bobcat® machines?

“First, it’s service. Like us, our philosophy is we have to offer our customer’s the best service

possible and that includes communication.

Oliver Kahl, sales specialist, for Bobcat of Parry Sound and I clicked right away. He has a sense of confidence and partnered with me on my mission. He gave me a Bobcat E35 compact excavator to demo and I called him and said I wanted to keep it. No one else offered to do that. He has always been reasonable and fair on price. I was young starting up my company, and he said, “let’s get you in these machines,” and he did. Secondly, Bobcat is the bee’s knees in equipment. Everyone I know that gets in a Bobcat machine and gets out of them says, “why would I want to operate anything else?” Even an operator that used to operate another brand for 30 years has now switched. You can’t find a smoother ride, and with all the attachments, you can’t beat it! Our customers like us to be very creative when designing their landscapes, so we need all types of different attachments.

Sometimes in a day’s notice and I can rent that right away from Bobcat of Parry Sound when needed. It makes our customers feel valued and appreciated and that’s how you run a business.”

no one does tight flagstone like us. The Bobcat CT5550 compact tractor is very versatile. It can do anything. We used it to load stone off our trailer, and using the Bobcat angle blade to grade driveways is paramount. Last year we added a 72” Bobcat snowblower and it doubled our snow contracts. We are doing 5 km runs with it. We also love to have everything colour matched.”

“You can guarantee by the end of the year, I will be buying another Bobcat machine from Oliver Kahl, Bobcat of Parry Sound, so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

Thanks Jackson

“90% of our work is in tight spots. We need machines that are compact enough but also powerful enough. I will always own a Bobcat E35 compact excavator for this reason alone. This machine has helped us earn the reputation that

Pictured here is a USTrac Co. 'Airborne' compact dozer developed for use by the United States War Department during the Second World War. It was originally designed in 1937 as a trail tractor by Ted Flynn, a United States Forest Service engineer in Oregon, for clearing fire breaks in hard to access woodlands.

The American military saw the need for a compact lightweight dozer to compliment the LeTourneau Airborne scraper building forward airstrips in the Pacific. Clark Equipment Ltd. took on the manufacturing of hundreds of the CA-1 compact dozers.

Equipped with a hydraulic blade, and optional winches, the units were powered by a four-cylinder Waukesha gas engine, rated at a roaring 20 horsepower.

After the war, USTrac took over civilian production in 1950, eventually becoming American Tractor Co. (ATC) based in Indiana. Later in the 1950s ATC, with their successful small Terratrac crawler dozer, became part of J.I. Case Inc. line of construction equipment.

The machine shown here was restored to new condition by a well-known construction, aggregate producer and long time HCEA

Bobcat’s RogueX concept reimagines the track loader Bobcat has stepped beyond the norms of the track loader industry with the unveiling of its new RogueX concept.

While the machine most closely resembles a track loader, the RogueX is in its own category.

The next-generation concept loader, unveiled during ConExpo 2023, explores the capabilities of electric power, autonomous operation and dual lift-arm geometry.

“Bobcat has a long history of innovation.

We challenge what’s possible, break new ground and empower people to do more,” said Mike Ballweber, President of Doosan Bobcat North America. “Innovation is at the

heart of everything we do. It’s in our DNA.” The Bobcat RogueX combines technologically advanced features to make it a one-of-a-kind conceptual machine.

Created as a research and development project, the machine was built as a proving ground to advance the Bobcat innovation roadmap, evaluate customer perceptions and test the limits of machine functionality.

“RogueX was concepted with consideration for the worksite of the future and how a customer’s needs may evolve, with a focus on ease of use, remote operations, autonomous functionality, sustainable operations and features that allow operators

to accomplish more with one machine,” said Joel Honeyman, Vice President of Global Innovation at Bobcat.

As jobsites evolve and operators turn to remote control operation, Bobcat took its concept further by fully eliminating the operator cab. Instead, RogueX explores the idea of operating where humans cannot go to tackle more work in more places than ever before from a remote position.

By designing the machine without a cab and using advanced kinematics, RogueX features unique functionality, and includes vertical-path as well as radial-path lift capabilities in one machine.

An all-electric and autonomous concept, RogueX produces zero emissions and features a lithium-ion battery, electric drive system and no hydraulics.

“After our successful development of building an all-electric loader [the Bobcat T7X], we wanted to think bigger, broader and take a leap far into the future,” said Matt Sagaser, Director of Innovation Accelerated at Bobcat.

“Our dedicated innovation team took a bold approach and designed a machine that breaks all of the rules. RogueX sets a framework for what is possible, and our team is just getting started on what is next.”

Toro equips its next generation eDingo with HyperCell tech Toro has upgraded its eDingo with its HyperCell system, a battery technology developed to match the power of traditional combustion engine products, while delivering zero exhaust emissions and less noise.

The next generation eDingo 500 compact utility loader is ideal for indoor construction jobs that require heavy or continuous operation, fast completion times and reduced overall costs.

HyperCell was developed to meet customer demand and is optimized to deliver up to an eight-hour continuous runtime, allowing it to run for a full shift.

When it needs charging, the on-board charger plugs into a standard 120V wall outlet and fully charges the machine in up to eight hours. As well, the HyperCell Power System is built to run cooler than other systems,

meaning operators gain efficiencies, eliminate engine exhaust emissions, and can finish jobs with less hassle. “ Ev e r y i m p rov e m e n t we’ve made to the next generation eDingo was driven by customer feedback,” says Sam Dando, Product Marketing Manager at Toro.

“For example, the HyperCell Power System is more powerful and reliable than ever. It allows for all-day run times and quick charging, which helps crews maximize productivity. Also, the new eDingo features a narrow width of 30 inches making it capable of fitting through even the tightest of doorways.”

The next gen eDingo still delivers an operating capacity of 234 kg and 24.6 litres per minute of hydraulic flow.

Plus, the new design has a hinge pin height of 205 cm, which allows for clearing into most standard dumpsters. The operating capacity ALL MAKES ALL MODELS

allows for the effective use quiet, while still being able of many attachments, in- to complete zero-turn mancluding: euvers in tight spaces and travel at a speed of up to 4.4 Floor scraper km per hour.

ment, at Develon explained the addition of compact track loaders is part of the company’s commitment to its dealers and customers to continue expanding its equipment offering. “Our lineup of construction equipment has grown considerably in the past five years,” Lee said.

“Last year, we introduced our own line of mini excavators and our company’s first dozer. These popular earthmoving machines help our dealers provide a more robust line of Develon heavy and compact construction equipment to our customers. And now we’re growing our compact construction equipment with the addition of compact track loaders for the North American market.”

The Develon DTL35 has an operating weight of 5,717 kg and a rated operating capacity of 1,662 kg.

The compact track loader will come standard with a torsion suspension system, providing a smooth ride for operators and durability for

use on construction jobsites. The torsion suspension system also provides additional stability with lifting and carrying loads.

Operators will be able to use a variety of attachments on the DTL35, one of the biggest selling points of the compact loader industry.

Optional high-flow auxiliary hydraulics will be available for the DTL35 for enhanced performance with attachments like asphalt planers, forestry cutters and breakers that require additional hydraulic flow.

The machine’s cab is designed to provide operators with excellent visibility of the jobsite. A standard rearview camera gives operators a better view of the attachment and their surroundings. As well, an optional 360-degree all-around view monitoring (AVM) camera system will be available when the machine goes into production.

The Develon DTL35 is expected to arrive at North American dealerships in 2024.

Brandt debuts its new lineup of heavy haul trailers at ConExpo Before Brandt introduced its new line of heavy haul trailers, its engineers turned to its customers to ensure they created a product that’s tailored to the demands of the heavy haul industry.

The result is the Work Ready line of heavy haul trailers that feature a full range of open-deck models with mechanical, hydraulic or fixed goosenecks, multiple lengths, widths and capacities, as well as jeeps, boosters and other custom configurations.

“Four years ago, contractors and heavy haul truckers told us they needed more reliable trailers that would help them get the job done faster. We listened,” said Shaun Semple, CEO of the Brandt Group of Companies.

“With that valuable feedback, Brandt engineers created purpose-built trailers with unique innovations to increase productivity and make the workday easier for operators.”

At ConExpo, Brandt unveiled its C550 55-ton construction trailer and the H850 85-ton square-tail trailer.

The H850 has a narrow, low-profile gooseneck to load equipment further forward to balance the load, and the C550 delivers the largest deck well in the industry to haul a variety of equipment with ease.

“Few manufacturers would jump right into the ring and stick their neck out on an 85-ton multi-axle trailer, but with 100 years of manufacturing and engineering experience, we decided to go big or go home,” said Russell Solomon, Brandt’s Director of Sales for the United States.

Through a collaborative product design process, Brandt consulted extensively with customers to create heavy haul trailers that meet the needs, as well as solve common problems, of transporting heavy equipment.

“To be successful, we must deliver innovative solutions that quickly meet the needs of our customers,” Solomon said.

The design process The initial consultation phase began with focus groups comprised of owners, operators and dealers from several target industries.

“We ask ‘what do you want? What do you need? What doesn’t work on your product now?’ Then we take those ideas work them through,” Solomon said. “There’s a lot of customers involved in this.”

Once feedback is received, a detailed design is created that aims to address the requests of the customer base. From there, Brandt builds a prototype and begins a validation process of the equipment.

“We’ll bring those customers back in again and ask what they like,” Solomon said. “A lot of the time, we will have to make some changes.”

A common concern from owners and operators was the need for more durable paint and more durable electrical harness.

“No matter who we talked to, those are the two things that came up,” said Brett Burke, Brandt’s Platform Team Lead for heavy haul trailers.

To remedy the issue, Brandt weather sealed the electrical connections, and reduced connectors when possible. To improve paint durability, Brandt is using a powder-coating process that starts with a zinc-based gel coat, followed by a baked-on topcoat.

“Every component we paint is individually coated. It’s the most complete coverage you can get,” Burke said.

Quick connection To ensure a simplified trailer connection, Brandt eliminated linkages and created a less complex drive lug design that provides a perfect connection every time, even on unlevel ground.

“This allows simple hook up and disconnect, even if one side of the deck has sunk eight inches in the ground after loading an excavator,” Burke said. “One customer said they used to do six loads a day, now they’re doing eight.”

Brandt’s customers also requested a trailer capable of hauling different sizes of equipment. To accommodate the request, the Work Ready trailers are designed with jeeps and boosters to ensure the trailer adapts to the required load. For example, the H850 features a pin-off axle on the jeep allowing it to operate as a 10-axle 65 ton or 13-axle 85-ton trailer.

“Instead of waiting around for that next 85ton load, you’re hauling the lighter stuff,” Burke said. “You’re keeping it utilized. It’s not sitting around in the yard waiting for the next load.

“You can handle the city as well as the construction site,” Burke said.

As well, all controls are located on the driver side for fast access, while ramps are spring loaded and deployable with one hand.

All grease and service points are accessible from the side, eliminating the need to crawl underneath the trailer.

“Our serviceability is second to none,” Solomon said.

To reduce the overall weight without comprising strength, each trailer is built Easy operation using T100 steel.

The trailers are also built to handle paved This Work Ready trailer lineup is available or gravel roads. The suspension is adjustable to customers through Brandt’s dealer netto change ground clearance from 13 cm to work, as well as independent dealerships 20 cm with the touch of a lever. across North America.

Fat Truck more than doubles its payload with new 8X8 model Zeal Motor has introduced its new Fat Truck 8X8, which offers more than double the payload of the original amphibious all-terrain vehicle.

The 8X8 is designed to answer specific needs to transport heavier payloads or additional crew in harsh terrains. Available in two-car Hauler or Wagon configurations, the new truck can carry a payload of up to 2,262 kg or a crew of 16 workers.

The Fat Truck 8X8 made its first public appearance at ConExpo in Las Vegas. The

truck will be used by the utility industry to facilitate working in hard-to-reach jobsites.

“A vehicle capable of traveling at 40 km per hour on land, 5 km per hour on water, and climb steep muddy hills with a 75 per cent grade, while meeting all the safety requirements, is an outstanding advantage that only the Fat Truck can provide,” said Amine Khimjee, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Zeal Motors.

“The footprint of the 8X8 is 1.9 psi at its

maximum payload, which is five times less than a human. The innovative articulation allows the vehicle to climb vertical walls of 1.22 metres effortlessly. The Fat Truck 8X8 is truly pushing the limits in off-road vehicle capabilities.”

The Hauler version of the 8X8 Fat truck weighs 5,910 kg and measures 8.18 metres long. The Wagon 8X8 weights 6,350 kg and is 8.25 metres long. Both 8X8 models are powered by a 173 hp, 3.8 litre Cummins F3.8 Turbo diesel engine.

As well, the Fat Truck is equipped with a tire inflation system that allows its driver to adjust the psi from 0.5 to 6 psi from the inside of the cab to adjust to terrain.

Zeal Motors was created in 2018 to solve the problem of moving people and materials to hard-to-reach jobsites. The company,based in Bromont, Quebec manufactures four versions of the Fat Truck to provide solutions for powerline and pipeline work, mining exploration and first responders.

Mack adds a second EV to its truck line up Mack Trucks has introduced the Mack MD, its first electric vehicle in the medium-duty segment of the trucking industry.

The MD Electric is the second EV introduced by Mack Trucks to the industry.

The first was the Mack LR Electric, which went into production in December 2021. The new MD Electric was unveiled during the NTEA Work Truck Show in March.

The MD Electric complements its diesel-powered MD model sibling, which has experienced growing customer demand since its introduction in 2020. The MD Electric will meet the needs of trucking applications requiring dry van/ refrigerated, stake/flatbed and dump vocations.

“Mack established itself as an electrification leader with the heavy-duty Mack LR Electric refuse vehicle, and we’re excited to add the MD Electric to our zero-tailpipe emissions lineup,” said Martin Weissburg, Global President of Mack Trucks.

“This is another important step in our efforts to drive decarbonization and a more sustainable future, and we plan to continue investing in technologies that help improve the environment and society.”

Like its diesel counterpart, the Mack MD Electric will be available in Class 6 and Class 7 ratings. The Class 6 model has a Gross Vehicle Weight

Rating (GVWR) of 11,791 kg, and the Class 7 model has a GVWR of 14,968 kg.

“The Mack MD Electric joins the full lineup of Class 6 to 8 vehicles Mack offers to help customers meet their application needs,” said Jonathan Randall, President of Mack Trucks North America. “Building on the success of the diesel-powered Mack MD Series, the Mack MD Electric will help our customers meet their sustainability goals without sacrificing the durability, reliability and total cost of ownership for which Mack is known.”

The MD Electric is available in 4x2 configurations featuring a sharp wheel cut for enhanced maneuverability in tight urban settings.

Mack will produce the electric truck at Roanoke Va l l e y O p e r a t i o n s i n Roanoke Valley, Virginia, where Mack began production of the Mack MD Series in 2020.

Current stock for skidders Parts available for all models & generations!

AC or DC charging The MD Electric’s threephase Permanent Magnet Synchronous motor and all on-board accessories are powered by Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) Oxide lithium-ion batteries, either in a 150kWh or 240kWH configuration. The MD Electric can be charged through AC or DC charging units. The regenerative braking system helps recapture energy from the multiple stops the vehicle makes each day.

The MD Series cab design features a short bumper-toback-of-cab measurement of 261 cm, an industr y best. Like the diesel-powered Mack MD Series, Mack matched the look and styling of the Mack Anthem, Mack’s highway model, as a basis for the MD Electric grille and hood design.
