Komatsu rolls out new Dash 12 series excavators Komatsu has introduced two new Dash 12 excavators designed to be the manufacturer’s most comfortable and advanced working environment ever created for excavators.

The new PC220LC-12 features a cab and controls designed for operator comfort, efficiency and productivity. The PC220LCi-12 includes the same features plus IMC 3.0, Komatsu’s latest intelligent machine control technology, which incorporates automation enhancements designed to enhance operator productivity throughout each shift.

Both machines are 21-ton to 24 ton-class hydraulic excavators that are ideal for residential and commercial contractors, either performing basic land clearing and general earthwork or more advanced GPS design-driven site development.

“We’ve built these excavators for the ones who need to get it done on every shift,” said Peter Robson, Komatsu’s Senior Director, Product and

Service. “That was the thinking behind the design of these next-generation machines — to empower operators to perform at their very best, which translates into greater productivity on the jobsite.

With the most advanced working environment we’ve ever created, these are excavators your operators will love to run.”

Compared to Komatsu's PC210LC-11, the new Dash 12 machines boast a cab that is 28 per cent larger, with 30 per cent more legroom and 50 per cent improved visibility.

As well, the excavators deliver up to a 20 per cent increase in fuel efficiency due to a new electro-hydraulic system and high-output engine.

Maintenance costs are reduced by 20 per cent, thanks to longer replacement intervals for hydraulic oil and oil filters and longer cleaning intervals for the particulate filter. Lifting capacity is increased by 7 per cent while bucket digging force increases 8 per cent.

3D boundary control The PC220LCi-12 with IMC 3.0 features factory-int e g ra t e d 3 D b o u n d a r y control. With this innovative technology designed to help improve efficiency, operators can now set a work-restriction surface for height, depth, front, back and side boundaries. The machine is designed to stop automatically when it approaches a restricted zone.

3D boundary control helps operators work efficiently across the entire jobsite by

remembering multiple restriction zones specific to each work area.

Several new and enhanced features are provided as standard equipment and help deliver operator comfort and convenience.

Alongside the spacious cab, air-suspension seat and ergonomic controls, a new operator ID system stores up to 50 profiles. Once an ID is entered, each operator has their personalized settings automatically loaded.

Both models help drive toward zero harm with rollover avoidance alerts, a KomVision 360 camera for enhanced bird’s-eye views, people and object detection alert mode and many other features.

SERVING THE CONSTRUCTION, DEMOLITION & MINING INDUSTRIES FOR OVER 58 YEARS

AEM expands its presence in Canada with new Ottawa office The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) is opening an office in Ottawa in 2026 and has hired its first full-time employee in the nation’s capital – a significant milestone for its presence in Canada.

The new office supports AEM’s goal to be the leading voice for North American equipment manufacturers.

As well, AEM has hired Alexandre Mattard-Michaud as its new Director of Government Affairs in Canada. Based in Ottawa, Mattard-Michaud brings more than 20 years of experience in Canadian government and parliamentary affairs.

He will be responsible for representing AEM’s member interests and championing the industry’s top policy priorities with lawmakers and regulators.

AEM represents more than 100 member companies in Canada. Its members support 152,000 Canadian jobs and contribute $41 billion annually to the national economy.

“Our members power the nation’s farms, construction sites and supply chains, and their voices deserve to be heard on policies that impact their ability to innovate and create jobs,” said AEM President and CEO Megan Tanel.

“With a dedicated presence in Ottawa, AEM will be a more effective advocate and convener, ensuring equipment

manufacturers get a seat at the table during critical policy discussions about the future of the Canadian economy.”

For 50 years, AEM has been a partner to equipment manufacturers in North America, helping them shape policy, connect with stakeholders and harness data to meet evolving needs.

This expanded physical presence into Canada’s capital marks a new era of advocacy and engagement, ensuring AEM has a strong and dedicated voice in policy discussions at the federal and provincial levels in Canada.

AEM’s expanded presence in Ottawa focuses on unleashing the full potential of the Canadian equipment manufacturing industry, advocating for pro-growth policies that help Canadians in the equipment manufacturing industry build, power and feed the world.

More details about the official office opening will be shared early next year.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) is the North America-based international trade group representing off-road equipment manufacturers and suppliers with more than 1,100 member companies and more than 200 product lines in the agriculture, mining, forestry and construction-related industry sectors worldwide.

Topcon’s new developments include the RD-M2 for scanning, MC-Max Paving and a new roller management system.

“Topcon has a rich history of innovation, with its con-

Scanning

A new version of the RD-M2 mobile LiDAR scanner was introduced. The scanner is part of the longstanding SmoothRide solution, which is designed to minimize road closures, shorten planning times and optimize processes when evaluating road surfaces while keeping crews safe.

The scanner utilizes an integrated GNSS receiver, and the new version includes the ability to track more satellite constellations for added accuracy and options on the jobsite.

Cat’s new 1,200 hp C32B engine delivers high power density Caterpillar’s new C32B engine builds on the success of its C32, offering improvements to boost reliability and increase durability.

The new power platform features best-in-class power density and enhanced durability for large off-highway machines and equipment.

“For nearly 20 years, the Cat C32 engine platform has set the standard for premium power and endurance in construction, mining and other industrial applications,” said Steve Ferguson, Senior Vice President of Caterpillar Industrial Power Systems.

“The new Cat C32B builds on this field-proven reputation with a series of upgrades and new technologies that will drive the superior performance of off-highway equipment for years to come.”

Now available worldwide, the new 32.1-litre, 12-cylinder engine has been re-engineered with numerous design improvements to boost power density and reliability.

As well, Cat has extended the time between rebuilds when compared with the previous generation engine.

The C32B delivers power up to 1,200 hp and 4,323 foot pounds while meeting Tier 4 Final configurations.

In Stage V, the C32B delivers 1,125 hp and 4,056 foot-pounds. A version for less regulated territories offers a peak rating of 1,350 hp and 4,548 foot-pounds.

The C32B engine is ideal for large loaders, cranes, dredgers, hydraulic power units, pavers, surface hauling equipment, trenchers, pumps, forestry equipment, compressors and bore/drill rigs.

has been redesigned from the bottom up with power density and durability in mind. The new engine block is made from a strong cast-iron alloy known for its durability with internal changes made to increase structural capability.

The induction hardened crankshaft includes larger journal diameters and increased bearing area to handle higher loads. The connecting rods also include larger journals to increase durability by optimizing bearing performance.

An improved lube system offers a higher capacity oil pump, an oil cooler with improved performance and higher flow piston cooling jets ensuring optimal wear performance and improved durability.

To improve reliability, the C32B has a thicker shim gasket than its predecessor to increase head-to-block sealing. The piston for the new C32B features increased compression height enabling increased power density for select applications. Also, the cylinder head has been upgraded to include design features that integrate external fuel lines along with an optimized water jacket geometry to improve heat transfer.

The cylinder head components feature updated valve geometry and oil metering stem seals to reduce wear and extend cylinder head life. Its new dual sensor coolant protection feature detects potential cooling system leaks sooner to avoid costly downtime.

The C32B features dual-can diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) aftertreatment, a maintenance-free, passive aftertreatment solution that eliminates the need for thermal management Bottom-up redesign or regeneration. With flexThe new C32B engine ible mounting options, this

technology simplifies the aftertreatment solution, helps overall package size and reduces operational costs by minimizing total fluid consumption and eliminating infrastructure requirements associated with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

Cat also made the new engine platform compatible

with renewable liquid fuels such as 100 per cent hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).

Industrial power units ( I P U ) c o n f i g u re d w i t h engine-mounted aftertreatment and cooling packs will also be available from the factory, helping to reduce installation and validation costs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Deere’s new L-III skidders deliver an enhanced operator experience John Deere’s new L-III skidder machines are equipped with the latest assistance and comfort features to improve the operator experience.

Featuring all-new cab design options, serviceability enhancements and visibility improvements, the L-III skidders are designed to help operators maximize uptime in the woods and transform the way they work. As well, the L-III models feature a variety of technology tools and precision solutions and options, supporting operator and jobsite productivity.

“Our new L-III skidder lineup was designed to enhance the overall comfort and efficiency of our operators,” said Matt Flood, Product Marketing Manager for John

Deere. “We know that working long days in the woods can be taxing on operators, and the L-III models answer the need for more comfortable equipment that delivers the same powerful performance our customers demand.”

In-cab comfort The L-III models are designed with new, comfort-focused features and are available in two package options: base and premium.

Both package options include new operator seats, amplifying jobsite comfort for day-long success. In addition, both models’ seats include the ability to tilt and extend the cushion for a customized fit and offer three operating positions: forward facing, rear

facing and the new right-side door facing.

On the premium package, the seat is made from vented leather and includes built-in cooling and heating functions.

The premium seat option also offers seven-way adjustability and air-operated bolsters that can be modified to the operator’s preferences.

The L-III models were strategically designed to improve the operator’s visibility and reduce shadows in challenging settings. With new, advanced lighting systems, the L-III Skidders come standard with LED lights on the front, rear and boom.

As well, the newly improved in-cab dome lights provide exceptional visibility during all hours of the day.

For customers needing enhanced visibility, especially those working in darker settings, the premium lighting package option offers added high beam, grill and service lighting, which has a 200 per cent increase in light output compared to previous models.

With added visibility under the cab and in the engine bays, operators can easily view essential service areas.

Upgraded cameras Available on premium L-III machines, blade-view and tong-view camera options provide enhanced visibility for operators.

The blade-view camera delivers a precise look at blade position and movement, while the tong-view camera sup-

ports tasks requiring accurate control and placement. Camera views can be configured to display on either the primary or secondary screen, giving operators flexible access to the visuals they need for operations that require precise control and positioning.

Advanced machine diagnostics are a critical tool in helping customers and their dealers maintain uptime. The new intuitive and diagnostic capabilities allow for quick access to the machine’s diagnostic trouble codes, which are easy-to-use and crucial for maintaining equipment health and efficiency.

Remote Display Access (RDA) enables dealers, owners and support personnel to view and interact with

a machine’s display from any location with an Internet connection. Whether it's adjusting settings, pulling data or troubleshooting issues, RDA allows users to operate the display as if they were sitting in the cab.

Operator control All L-III skidder models boast a variety of precision solutions aimed at delivering optimal machine efficiency.

These solutions, including TimberMatic Maps, are integrated into the machine for a seamless user experience. The industry-trusted TimberMatic Maps technology provides onboard jobsite visualization and awareness, helping operators to see near real-time data on the jobsite.

Where Industry Leaders Come Together To Address F e a tu r in What Matters Most K u rt C o ffe y And Shape What C a s e IH Comes Next

Sakai America has produced its 1,000th SV544 soil compactor at its Adairsville, Georgia, factory.

The specific machine, an SV544TBCF model equipped with a padfoot drum, levelling blade, cab and removable smooth shell, is heading to Power Motive, a dealer in the western United States.

The SV544, a 2.1-metre soil compactor in the 12 to 15 ton class, is a modern powerhouse in soil compaction that began production in late 2017, replacing the popular SV540 series.

Its robust design is engineered for critical applications like highway foundations, large-scale

developments and site preparation. The completion of the 1,000th unit underscores Sakai’s focus on delivering durable, high-performance compaction solutions to the North American market.

"Producing the 1,000th SV544 is an incredible achievement that speaks volumes about our team," said Kevin McClain, Vice President of Operations.

Unlike fully automated production lines, each Sakai machine is assembled by hand by skilled American employees. This quality-driven manufacturing approach ensures that every machine created at the Georgia factory meets the company’s standards for

reliability and performance.

"The SV544 has become a standout product in our lineup and our best-selling model in recent years," said Brad Belvin, Manager of Sales and Marketing at Sakai.

"This milestone is a direct reflection of the trust our customers place in our equipment, and it's a testament to our commitment to meeting their needs.

The real advantage is our local manufacturing here in Georgia. Being close to our customers allows us to be more responsive, offer better support, and ensure that our soil compactors are perfectly suited for the projects they're tackling across the nation."

B.C. operator advances to Cat’s Global Operator Challenge finals British Columbia’s Brock Leclerc will compete in Caterpillar’s Global Operator Challenge at ConExpo after placing first in the North America West semifinals.

Leclerc represented Quattro Constructors and Finning Canada during the semifinals, held Sept. 23 and 25 in Clayton, North Carolina.

Leclerc completed the event’s four challenges with the lowest tally of 1,540 points, which is a combination of time and penalties, emerging as the Western Region semifinal champion for North America.

“It’s beyond exciting what we’ve accomplished here as a group,” Leclerc said.

“Everybody working with great sportsmanship… it’s been an unreal, awesome day and amazing experience.”

Brian Hayden from Hayden Excavating in Maine won the North America East semifinals. Hayden finished the four GOC events with the lowest point total of 1,313.

“What makes me proud is just, you know, nothing to do with me,” Hayden said. “It’s bringing recognition to the operators that devote their time and lives to what they do and then showcasing them with their skills.”

Quebec’s Alex Blanchet, representing Maxi Paysage and Toromont Cat placed second in the North America east competition.

Sebastian Rees from the Interior Heavy Equipment Operator School (Finning Canada), Joey Longley from Dexter (Toromont Cat) and Andrew Martin from FCM

Construction (Toromont Cat) also represented Canada in the semifinals.

Caterpillar invited 31 operators to compete for the title of North America’s champions at its regional semifinals.

“Our team pulled out all the stops to make sure this was a true test of skill,” said Jason Hurdis, Global Industry Solutions Manager for Caterpillar. “We created a level playing field where every operator had the same shot at victory, proving that it all came down to talent, grit and performance.”

All competitors completed the same four challenge events using Cat equipment and technology.

The Over-the-Top Challenge saw competitors put their versatility and precision to the test by operating a Cat compact track loader through a dynamic, multiphase course. Starting with a bar carriage, operators navigated rugged terrain, including C-channels and moguls, before swapping to a bucket for a high-speed loading sequence. After dumping two loads into a commercial truck, they switched to a material handling arm to lift and place objects on a staged platform. The challenge ended with a final sprint to the finish, demanding skill, speed and seamless equipment transitions.

An urban-inspired challenge, City Streets Challenge showcased the operators' finesse and power as they tackled a series of precision tasks using a Cat excavator.

Competitors began by pla-

cing a manhole lid into a cast frame, then manoeuvred to the berm’s edge to retrieve and insert a pipe into a vertical culvert. The challenge intensified with a heavy-load sequence, requiring operators to fill an articulated truck with 15 to 20 tons of material. After honking the truck off, participants returned to the start and parked the bucket in its designated spot, completing a course that demanded accuracy, control and strength.

Featuring a Cat wheel loader, the Load ‘N Loader Challenge highlighted the agility and adaptability of the operators as they navigated a dual-phase course.

Starting at the bunker pile, participants loaded and hauled material along a marked path before dumping it into a Cat articulated truck. The challenge then shifted to precision handling, where operators had to swap their bucket for forks and transport a pipe across a designated route and place it accurately on a flatbed trailer.

After reversing the process and restoring the pipe to its original location, competitors reconnected the bucket and raced to the finish. It was a test of speed, control, and seamless equipment transitions.

To celebrate Cat’s 100th anniversary this year, the Centennial Push Challenge had operators put a Cat dozer through a series of precision manoeuvres. Competitors began by dozing a tire down a narrow path into a goal zone, then sliding a pipe along a rope using only the dozer’s

blade. The course continued with a grading segment that demanded smooth, even dirt distribution, followed by a bell-ringing task that tested blade accuracy. Operators then reversed off a slope and returned to the starting box, finishing with a ripper placement that sealed the run. The challenge was a tribute to skill, control and the legacy of the dozer.

Cat launched its third Global Operator Challenge in December, inviting thousands of machine operators worldwide to put their skills to the test on a wide range of construction equipment and technology.

For the first round of competition, operators competed in local challenges facilitated

by Cat dealers from January to September. The competitions featured at least three different challenges on three separate pieces of equipment. Winners from the local dealer events advanced to the regional semifinals, and two finalists will emerge as the North American regional champions.

Leclerc and Hayden are two of nine champions that advance to the final competition in March 2026 at Caterpillar’s outdoor Festival Grounds exhibit during ConExpo in Las Vegas.

Continued from Page A18 — Kubota's new Grand L70 Series compact tractors The redesigned four-post ProCab features rounded glass for clear operator sightlines, while keeping the operator climate controlled and productive with heated glass, rear wiper, rear and side defrosters and optional remote start.

“By moving to this new cab style, we increase the square footage of glass in this cab by 4 square feet. So that's a pretty significant improvement,” Walker said.

While inside, operators can enjoy a quiet workspace with increased airflow and heated swivel seat options, ensuring productivity and comfort.

Kubota has also incorporated a recirculation valve into the HVAC system to improve temperature control and air quality.

“When you have more glass, that usually creates more heat in the cab. However, with this recirculation valve, we've also increased our air circulation by 36 per

cent inside the cab,” Cummings said.

The Grand L70 delivers advanced comfort and customization for loader work and land management. The new multifunction loader joystick allows operators to set cruise control, switch drive modes and fine-tune transmission settings, all while tackling tasks like moving brush or stacking hay bales. An optional mechanical self-levelling loader

boosts productivity for material handling and stacking, while performance-matched implements, like the BH92A backhoe and three loader options, offer up to 1,374kg of lift and more than 2.75 metres of digging depth.

“Mechanical self levelling has been around for a while, but not so much in our compact lineup. So, this is the first time we've introduced the mechanical self levelling in this series,” Cummings said.

SCOOP & GO The HS300 wheel loader salt spreader features a 3 cubic yard capacity for increased efficiency, making it ideal for demanding winter maintenance tasks.

Pro-Cut’s X1 HD brake lathe reduces downtime for industrial brake jobs A new brake rotor on a mobile crane can cost upwards of $2,000. By using the Pro-Cut X1 HD Brake Lathe to repair, not replace, expensive rotors on off-road and industrial vehicles, service providers can improve profitability and get the vehicles back to work quickly and efficiently, according to the company.

Pro-Cut says the new lathe can turn a disc replacement

Complete 2D-3D systems and survey applications With over a decade in the industry, we pride ourselves on being the Canadian supplier of advanced quality European 2D and 3D grade control systems and GNSS layout applications.

job that typically requires six hours into a 30-minute repair.

“The Pro-Cut X1 brake lathe is expertly designed for service providers who perform heavy-duty brake service, including resurfacing brake rotors on off-road and industrial vehicles,” said Jeff Hastings, President of Pro-Cut. “For example, an eightaxle crane has 16 brake rotors and the cost to replace just one of these rotors is around $2,000. As these cranes can sit at a job site for weeks or months at a time, the X1 is the perfect cure for eliminating rust buildup, or lot rot, quickly and easily. By repairing and not replacing just one of these cranes with the Pro-Cut X1 brake lathe,

the lathe will literally pay for itself.”

The Pro-Cut X1 is powered by a 48V DC variable speed motor with the power to turn large vehicle axles.

Its low range gear box provides ample torque while adjustable tool arms and 190 mm feed screw allow techs to match-machine the largest rotors in the industry.

“Service providers will also realize significant time savings with the Pro-Cut X1,” Hastings said. “With some vehicles, replacing one disc can be a six-hour operation. With the X1 brake lathe, service providers can resurface that same disc in 30 minutes or less, reducing total vehicle downtime from days to hours.”

Bobcat introduces new tank-mounted air compressors Bobcat Company is expanding its industrial air compressor lineup with the introduction of a tankmounted series.

Bobcat’s new tank-mounted rotary-screw air compressors are efficient, built for reliable performance in light-tomedium-duty applications and are capable of continuous-duty operation.

The six new air compressors include the SA10TD, SA10T, SA15TD, SA15T, SA20TD and SA20T. The tank-mounted series is available through Bobcat industrial air distributors, and were introduced at FabTech 2025 in Chicago, Illinois, in September.

“Bobcat tank-mounted industrial air units deliver dependable performance and long-term value,” said Patrick Jakeway, General Manager at Bobcat Company.

“Their rugged construction, energy efficiency and

low maintenance make them an ideal choice for users who prioritize reliability and a low total cost of ownership across various applications.”

Bobcat’s tank-mounted air compressors offer a tri-voltage plug-and-play package with connectivity to one other machine.

The standard 454-litre tank is available with and without a dryer and prefilter, and comes standard with 125 psi, with 100, 150, and 175 psi options available to match facility demands.

They are useful in a variety of applications including automotive aftermarket, woodworking and metal fabrication.

These cost-effective machines minimize downtime and consume less energy while powering your facility every day, thanks to high-quality components like IP55 electric motors, Star-Delta motor starter systems and high-efficiency airends.

EARTHMOVING & EXCAVATION

Caterpillar’s next-gen ADTs: a smarter articulated design Caterpillar is rolling out its next gen 725, 730, 730 EJ and 735 articulated trucks which the company says feature a smarter design.

T h e n e w A D Ts a r e equipped with a suite of assisted and automatic features, including the Auto Wait Brake function for added convenience and control during operation.

Production of the next generation Cat articulated trucks is scheduled for January 2026, starting with the 730 model.

The upgraded interior puts control at the operator’s fingertips, with all functions accessible through a sleek touchscreen or a smooth, responsive keypad. As well, the touchscreen can be effortlessly navigated using the integrated jog dial for added convenience. New push-to-start with operator ID stores up to 50 operator IDs to quickly get to work and safeguard against unauthorized use.

Cat C13 engine The new Cat C13 engine powers the next gen trucks with ratings from 345 to 424 hp, depending on the model.

Designed to meet global emission standards, the C13 features a compact, lightweight design with no need for exhaust gas recirculation.

The machine is available in configurations suitable for all regions worldwide, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

“C a t e r p i l l a r ’s l a t e s t machine design makes operating our next gen articulated trucks feel more comfortable, responsive, and user-friendly than ever,” said Sherrie Williams, Global

Product Application Specialist for Caterpillar. “With the introduction of the Cat C13B engine on the 725, the improved power-to-weight ratio means it is up to 14 per cent more efficient on our Tier 4 Final [and equivalent] machines.”

Automatic traction control Requiring no operator input, advanced automatic traction control prevents wheel slippage in poor underfoot conditions for maximum traction and productivity. The new engine overspeed control works seamlessly with Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) to manage braking and automatically adjust engine speed — enhancing truck handling, improving steering response and building confidence for newer operators in challenging conditions.

Machine speed limiting supports safe operation by allowing ground speed to be set by the operator or in service mode — ideal for uneven terrain, high-traffic areas or sites with strict speed regulations.

As well, the integrated body height limiter promotes safety by helping ensure the machine operates within jobsite standards and height restrictions.

The Cat 725, 730 and 735 ADTs feature a redesigned dump body that enables easier loading than previous designs and maximizes payload. The redesigned body features a rerouted exhaust heat system that helps minimize material carryback, improving load efficiency and reducing cleanup time.

The improved payload technology allows oper-

ators to view real-time load weights on the integrated display, and the system’s updated software and sensors provide accurate data. External payload indicator lights alert the loading operator when approaching rated payload and when payload is reached.

Rollover prevention Cat’s Dynamic Roll Protection supports rollover prevention by working with the field-proven Stability Assist, which prevents hoisting on uneven terrain. Configurable to material and jobsite conditions, the new feature monitors conditions to detect if the truck is experiencing high lateral acceleration, provides a visual and audible alarm, reduces fuel and applies service brakes automatically. It reduces the risk of machine rollover due to high-speed cornering, helping minimize downtime and safety repairs from rolling the truck. As well, Stability Assist software reports information via VisionLink to increase awareness of when an event has occurred.

Auto Wait Brake The new Auto Wait Brake (AWB) automatically applies service brakes when the shift lever is in any position other than park and ground speed reaches 0 km per hour. The service brakes apply in less than one second after the machine has stopped, and, after eight seconds, the transmission shifts to neutral with AWB engaging. Applying the throttle re-engages the transmission and releases the service brakes. This feature eliminates the need to shift to park for short duration stops

and saves fuel when shifting to neutral. AWB also works with Hill Assist, by applying the service brakes and preventing rollback.

For 725, 730 and 735, a new dump body height limit feature allows the bed raise height to be set to meet jobsite conditions. The operator can set the raise height limit by raising the bed to the desired height and holding a button on the keypad. Alternatively, it can be set through the display service mode to meet sitewide limits. This feature helps prevent the dump body from contacting overhead objects and increases cycle time by limiting full-body travel.

The Cat 730 EJ ejects the load without raising the body to help maintain machine stability. The design allows load dispersal on inclines, side slopes and in very soft underfoot conditions like those found on landfill sites.

The truck can eject in areas with low overhead clearance, such as around overhead lines or in tunnelling and underground operations, virtually eliminating material sticking to the body to increase productivity.

Delivering faster cycle times, the 730 EJ can eject and spread material on the go to reduce the need for additional spreading and dozing equipment.

Providing front and rear proximity detection, all next generation articulated trucks offer an optional object detect and multiview camera via a separate secondary monitor. The system’s radar sensors provide visual and audible alerts when objects are within the truck’s path.

For an enhanced view

around the truck, four discrete camera views, which are configurable to the operator's preference, are mounted at the front, rear and sides.

Coaching advice An onboard, optional interactive training tool, Operator Coaching, measures and reports on individual operator behaviours that impact efficiency, safety and machine

health. Operator Coaching identifies opportunities to improve operating behaviour by monitoring 14 activities.

Operating tips can be viewed on a summary page on the main touchscreen display, while animated video tutorials provide operator instructions. For fleet managers, the GPS function includes maps to show the location of where tips are triggered on the work cycle.

SharpGrade’s new G73 enables grading on small jobsites The new G73 grader blade from SharpGrade fills a long-standing gap for contractors that need to reach an accurate grade on small, challenging job sites, while having the capacity to grade open areas quickly.

The grader blade is engineered specifically for 30-hp to 50-hp compact loaders and articulated wheel loaders.

Fully articulated with the wings closed, the G73 measures just 1.15 metres, making it the most compact grader on the market according to SharpGrade, yet opens to 1.85 metres when open, thanks to its large hydraulic side wings.

“The G73 is designed to bring pro-level grading precision to jobs where space and machine size is restricted,” said Rodney Sharp, Director of SharpGrade.

“It’s an ideal solution for contractors, landscapers and hire fleets who need to get in, get out and get the job done right the first time.”

Built to the same standards as SharpGrade’s full-size models, the G73 delivers impressive grade accuracy, rapid setup and removal, zero cross-coupling and the ability to grade in reverse, all in a compact, lightweight frame ideal for urban infill,

landscape grading, paving, and residential construction.

“The ability to simultaneously articulate the blade and hydraulic side wings forward and reverse makes it ideal for grading around service pipes, confined areas, but also narrow linear work such as sidewalks, cycle ways, curbs and gutters, significantly reducing manual raking. Being able to grade in reverse removes track marks, improves accuracy and increases productivity,” Sharp said.

Multiple hitch options are available to suit common models in the compact range.

Rotation sensor, IMU mounts and external data ports are available to plug and play most 3D solutions, including GPS and LPS.

QuadGrade machine control

TBS ARE INNOVATORS/DESIGNERS of world class manufacturing methods and materials to significally promote extended life cycles in high wear specifically for Quarry and Mining applications.

QuadGrade Power Pro is a simple, reliable 2D control system for SharpGrade products. It has all functions integrated into the touchscreen without requiring wiring on the base machine, an industry first. Swapping between base machines is simple, thanks to a true interchangeable, plug and play solution, ideal for rental companies and large fleet

operators with multiple machines.

With a built in, tamperproof hour meter, real time diagnostics, remote technician access, linked override and all functions on one screen, it is an intuitive, operator friendly system.

The SharpGrade G73 includes sealed, shielded and lifetime lubricated bearings that never require greasing.

As well, SharpGrade’s patented QuadRod 3 linkage design keeps the blade parallel throughout movement to maintain equal height between front and rear blade.

The Zero Cross Coupling design gives the operator the ability to operate one side of the blade without influencing the position of the other.

The retracting front wheel offers an open six-way blade with side wings to blade through piles.

Wi t h i t s l o w o p e ra ting weight and powerful performance, the G73 is particularly well-suited for equipment rental companies, who can now offer a grading solution with 2D or 3D machine control options, that’s operator-friendly, rental friendly, transportable and built to withstand jobsite abuse.

“BOBCAT machines are just built for what we do.”

(L to R), Todd Gill, sales specialist for Bobcat of Toronto (Oaken Equipment) and Mickey Sudar, owner of Quality Plus Grounds Care Ltd.

Stone to Snow, Bobcat Machines Never Slow Founded in 1994, Quality Plus Grounds Care Ltd. has built its reputation on detail, reliability, and long-term relationships with clients. Specializing in soft landscaping and year-round maintenance for large residential complexes and commercial sites, owner Mickey Sudar takes pride in delivering work that consistently looks superior. Even at sixteen, his passion and skill for landscaping were clear, earning him a promotion to foreman.

“People are paying good money; they

deserve to see quality results. I like to walk away from a site and say, ‘That looks really good.’ That’s where our name comes from.”

Based in Mississauga, the company keeps its focus close to home. With 12 large properties under care year-round, snow and ice control is a significant part of the business. That’s where Bobcat® equipment comes in.

“For my sites, a truck and plow just won’t cut it. With the Bobcat S76 and S650 compact skid-steer machines, I can access tight spaces, utilize snow buckets, and deliver the details my properties require. In the summer, we use them for everything from removing lawns, hauling soil, installing armour stone, moving rocks, mulching, planting, you name it.”

When asked why he chooses Bobcat: “Honestly, they’re sexy machines. They look sharp, they’re comfortable, powerful, easy to operate, have great visibility, and I’ve never had an issue starting them in winter. Reliability is everything. You don’t go to Ford to get a truck if you are a GM guy. You stick with what works. Bobcat machines are just built for what we do.”

I’ve been working with Todd Gill, sales specialist at Bobcat of Toronto (Oaken Equipment), for nine years now. He’s been fantastic to work with; I wouldn’t keep going back to him otherwise.

With a growing crew and plans to expand, Quality Plus Grounds Care is aiming to add more Bobcats to the fleet. “I’d love to have four or five of these lined up one day. They’ve been a huge part of our success, and as we grow, Bobcat will definitely grow with us.”

MINING

Moving potash to market Sarens helps build export facility for one of the world’s largest potash mines in Saskatchewan When BHP’s Jansen potash project reaches production capacity, the mine will have the potential to supply 10 per cent of the world’s potash needs.

Located in Saskatchewan, about 140 km east of Saskatoon, production at Jansen is expected to begin in mid2027. Once the mine is fully ramped up, Jansen will become one of the world's largest potash mines, producing about 8.5 million tonnes per year.

The large deposit of potash also creates the opportunity to develop the mine in stages, reaching a peak production of 16 to 17 million tonnes of potash per year.

To realize Jansen’s full potential, BHP is investing $10 billion to build the mine and maximize sustainability. Construction of the mine will create about 5,500 jobs. When operational, the mine will employ about 900 people.

Part of the project is the new Westshore Terminals potash storage building, which will enable the export of 4.5 million tons per year for the manufacture of fertilizer.

The expansion of Wests h o r e Te r m i n a l s w i l l transform an existing coal terminal into a mixed-use facility. This project, with an investment of more than $1 billion, stems from an agreement signed with BHP to provide port services for the Jansen mine in Saskatchewan, and includes the construction of covered storage areas, railcar unloaders and conveyor belts.

On behalf of Maple Reinders, Sarens is performing heavy lifting of 33 curved double arches weighing 3,300 kg with a length lift radius of more than 21 metres.

The arches are composed of glulam arches, beams, purlins, support towers and concrete anchor blocks.

Cranes on site To undertake the yearlong project, Sarens' engineering team carried out a comprehensive site survey and engineered lift study, leading to the selection of two crawler cranes capable of delivering a lift capacity of 250 tons.

Sarens selected the Liebherr LR1300 and Terex Demag CC2400 crawler

cranes for the job.

The cranes were selected due to their mobility and lifting capacity. Their ability to move easily around the site made them ideal for the construction environment, and the weight of the timber components being hoisted required the cranes’ lifting capacities. This combination ensured both operational efficiency and safety during installation.

The Liebherr LR 1300 crawler crane is a powerful and adaptable machine engineered for heavy-duty lifting across construction, industrial and infrastructure projects. With a maximum lifting capacity of roughly 300 tonnes and a boom length extending beyond 170 metres when configured with jib options, it provides exceptional height and reach for demanding tasks.

Advanced safety features, precise load control systems and efficient assembly processes minimize downtime.

The Demag CC 2400 crawler crane is a versatile lattice-boom crane designed for heavy lifting in challenging environments. With a maximum lifting capacity

of about 400 tonnes, it offers excellent stability and reach, making it ideal for industrial construction and infrastructure projects. Its modular design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, reducing setup time on job sites. Advanced control systems enhance precision and safety, while robust German engineering ensures reliability, efficiency and long service life for demanding lifting operations.

As well, Sarens used a Tadano 75-ton rough terrain crane and a Tadano 100ton rough terrain crane, a 120-ton AT crane, as well as a 55-ton boom truck.

This equipment, which was selected for its ease of transport, capacity, reach and mobility, was transported to the site from Sarens' Vancouver branch.

Assembly of the crawler cranes required two days, due to the difficulties of accessing and exiting the site

due to the coal port operating on the same premises.

The lifting and installation of each arch was executed through a collaborative effort involving multiple cranes. Each crawler crane was responsible for lifting one half of the arch, while support cranes were utilized to position the support towers and subsequently connect both parts at the peak.

During periods of peak activity, Sarens required upwards of 100 skilled labourers onsite to complete the lifts.

The primary challenge, particularly during the winter season, was the frequent strong winds, which occasionally necessitated the suspension of activities on certain days. Additionally, the site's limited space and restricted access hindered the logistics process.

Once the expansion is complete in 2026, Wests-

hore Terminals' facilities at Robert Banks will be able to export.

An essential resource Potash is a group of pot a s s i u m - r i c h m i n e ra l s extracted from underground deposits or brines, processed to purify the mineral, and used primarily as an essential fertilizer in agriculture. It is able to regulate the osmotic pressure of plants, improves their resistance to disease, and maximizes crop yields. Potash also has applications in the chemical industry for the manufacture of glass, soaps, detergents and other compounds where potassium provides stability and reactivity to materials.

Sarens has extensive experience in Canada, thanks to the broad expertise of its team, in-depth knowledge of the sector and its portfolio of cranes and modular transports, with multiple projects to its credit.
