Introducing The 7000XTDS Harvester Head From Quadco + Log Max
As the forestry industry advances with technological improvements, the partnership between Quadco and Log Max combines decades of experience to introduce the new cutting-edge 7000XTDS Harvester Head.
Both companies are renowned for their robust and efficient designs, and the 7000XTDS Harvester Head is a testament to their commitment to enhancing productivity and operator satisfaction in forest operations.
Key Features of the 7000XTDS Harvester Head
The 7000XTDS is not just an improvement but a revolution in harvesting technology. By integrating Quadco’s Intermittent Disc Saw into Log Max’s acclaimed 7000XT model, this harvester head reduces downtime and opera-
tional costs compared to traditional chain saw systems. Its standout feature, the swingout disc saw, boasts a cutting speed of 600-700 rpm, ensuring high-quality cuts and exceptional productivity.
Combined with the Logmax Logmate 510 Control system, this package will ensure high-quality cuts and exceptional productivity.
Advantages of Disc Saw Felling Over Traditional Methods
Traditional chain systems are prone to wear and damage, particularly in challeng-
ing conditions such as heavy underbrush or mixed wood stands. The 7000XTDS’s disc saw offers a low-maintenance, reliable alternative that enhances the durability and uptime of harvesting operations. Its design allows for quick and easy maintenance checks and minimal tooth damage, extending the life of the cutting components.
The Design and Operational Benefits of the 7000XTDS
This harvester head features a solid center and a rotating ring that enables instant cutting speed, making it
FAE Launches New Mulcher For Excavators
FAE is expanding its range of top-of-the-line forestry mulchers for excavators with the introduction of the new UMM/S/EX model for excavators up to 40 tons; particularly for feller bunchers.
The new UMM/S/EX can be used for mulching trees and vegetation with a diameter of up to 40 cm and is com-
patible with excavators from 25 to 40 tons. Its hydraulic capacity ranges from 250 to 450 L/min., and it can handle pressure of up to 400 bar. This mulcher model is recommended for use anywhere a large mulching capacity is required, including in wooded areas or green spaces.
The UMM/S/EX has been designed with a num-
ber of specific features to provide top performance. Its VT automatic variable displacement motor allows for increased torque, and its double Poly Chain belt transmission ensures optimum power transfer and reliability over time. Spike PRO bolted counter blades produce very fine mulch and make maintenance easy, while the
ideal for delimbing, topping challenging trees, and clearing underbrush. The fixedmount and Quadco-designed lateral tilt mechanism offer unmatched control and maneuverability, adding to its operational efficiency.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
Designed with the operator in mind, the 7000XTDS is as user-friendly as it is powerful. The fixed head design with the patented Quadco 360 degree rotate, allows operators to easily extricate the machine from difficult spots and execute tight turns without impacting the surrounding area. Simple maintenance routines—such as a quick 1000-hour check for wear— make this harvester head a favorite among fleet owners for its ease of use and reduced training requirements.
Setting New Standards in Forestry Operations
The 7000XTDS Harvester Head is more than an equipment upgrade—it’s a significant leap forward in forestry technology. With its superior design, ease of maintenance, failsafe measuring system, and robust construction, it sets new standards in the industry, promising enhanced operational efficiency and reduced costs. For professional contractors and fleet owners, the 7000XTDS offers a compelling combination of performance, reliability, and ease of use, making it an essential tool for modern forestry operations.

mulching chamber features bolted protections made of an anti-wear material. The sturdy type-C rotor makes it possible to use different tooth models for different applications and comes with side teeth, which help keep the crushing chamber clean at all times. Finally, with a sturdy steel frame, the UMM/S/EX is built to last. This head is available in UMM/S/EX/VT150 size.
With the introduction of the UMM/S/EX, FAE forestry mulchers can now be used with even more powerful vehicles, which have only been used in a limited capacity for this application up to now. SP

Bobcat Introduces New High-Capacity Diesel Pneumatic Tire Forklifts
Bobcat has expanded its North American product lineup with the introduction of its 9-Series high-capacity diesel pneumatic tire forklifts.
Engineered for demanding applications, this series boosts business productivity with high-output diesel engines, increased control and enhanced reliability.
The 9-Series features five new models, D100S-9, D120S-9, D140S-9, D160S-9 and DV160S-9, which offer industry-leading features, including a redesigned drivetrain and hydraulic system that provides improved performance while reducing fuel costs. From maximizing productivity to supporting all-day comfort to putting safety at the forefront, this new product series is designed to give businesses the lift they need.
“Bobcat’s new D(V)160 family of diesel pneumatic tire forklifts were designed for a diverse range of mate-
rial handling applications ranging from moving fragile aircraft jet engines to logging or mining,” said Forrest Crawley, senior product specialist, Bobcat Company.
“Our industry-leading products are designed with durability, efficiency and safety in mind. Equipped with a highvisibility ergonomic cabin, operators are kept comfortable, improving their overall productivity. Operators will experience the difference and business owners will reap the benefits of the series’ impressive load capabilities, efficiency and overall lower cost of ownership.”
Ultimate Productivity
The 9-Series helps operators achieve optimal productivity with its highperformance engine, class-
leading travel speeds and lift speeds, and one of the tightest turning radiuses in the industry.
With the latest engine technology and optimal power transfer through the drivetrain and hydraulic system, the 9-Series offers more strength to power through slopes and heavy loads. The series’ fuel-efficient engine provides the choice of standard or eco-mode for the operator to customize for increased power and lifting performance or to maximize fuel economy.
All-Day Comfort
The Bobcat 9-Series forklifts are designed to reduce fatigue and elevate productivity. Their redesigned floating cab supports greater operator visibility and features a fully adjustable suspension seat and tilting and telescoping steering column. The wellinsulated cab supports lower noise levels, while the automatic heat and air conditioning system keeps operators comfortable in various work environments.
A multi-function, 7-inch display comes standard to put more control at operators’ fingertips. The display
is mounted to the A pillar for easy accessibility with heads-up operation. The display can be fully integrated with an optional rearview camera.
Maximize Uptime with Enhanced Durability
The 9-Series forklifts are engineered to withstand tough job sites, including several features that simplify maintenance to maximize uptime. Durability starts with its robust frame which is built to withstand heavy use in harsh conditions, and its shaft-type carriage provides superior strength when handling wider and longer loads. The loadsensing hydraulic system reduces fuel consumption and ensures the coolest possible operating temperature for longer component life.
Other key features promoting uptime include the forklifts’ dual-element air cleaner to increase engine service life; oil-cooled disc brakes with a life span of up to 20,000 hours; and a standard hydraulically driven variable speed fan with optional reverse function adjusts to coolant and break oil temperatures to maximize cooling performance while its reverse function helps to keep the radiator cleaner.
When maintenance is needed, the components are easier to access via the rear hood’s wide-open angle and the tiltable cab.
Driven by Safety
Bobcat forklifts are designed to put safety first. Several features support allaround visibility, stability and greater worksite awareness.
Included in the 9-Series lineup is the DV160S-9. This
forklift offers a max load capacity of 36,000 pounds at 48-inch load center, plus travel speeds of 21.1 mph and a lift speed of 76.8 fpm when loaded. These machines are trusted workhorses for a variety of job sites including lumberyards,
utility work, steel foundries, shipyards, ports, and more. The new 9-Series is available now at select Bobcat North American material handling dealers and distributors. SP

CASE Adds New CX380E Excavator
The CX380E is rumbling onto jobsites with more power, functionality and operator-first features for comfort and control
CASE Construction Equipment continues to focus on developing swift, smooth, smart machines that help operators get more done with the launch of the new CX380E large excavator. The 268-horsepower, 83,114 lb (37,700 kg) unit is the newest addition to CASE’s robust excavator lineup.
Whether it’s clearing land, trenching, craning pipes on construction and road sites, or even breaking rock, the CX380E gives crews brute power and intelligent hydraulics for more productivity. Rental companies can also count on the CX380E to expand customer options for a dependable jobsite workhorse.
Power, Performance and Control
The CX380E is built for heavy-duty tasks, with 56,000 lbs. of breakout force and fast cycle times. Operators can adjust the power to the task with four fuel-efficient
work modes in a range up to 10 throttle settings: Super Power for the maximum possible power; Power for a hardworking mode suitable for daily operation; Eco for more fuel efficiency; and Lifting for maximum control during lifting and craning tasks. Eco mode lowers fuel consumption by up to 18 percent compared to previous CASE excavators. In addition, CASE telematics and software provide precise data to measure fuel usage and other metrics to further improve efficiency.
“Big jobs demand big machines and the CASE CX380E large excavator is exactly that. Built like a beast, it delivers more power and more torque with faster response times,” says Terry Dolan, head of CNH Construction Brands, North America. “But it also delivers big on the total operator control that our customers expect from CASE.”
Like all CASE E Series large excavators, the CX380E offers advanced controls and
customizable sensitivity settings so that users can dial in responses exactly to their preferences for easier operation. The 10-inch touchscreen lets operators store settings for up to 10 attachments (one-way and two-way) on one screen, making it simple to change attachments in seconds at the touch of a button — instead of hours — while reducing the risk of downtime or damage from overloading the attachment. The intelligent Hydraulic Flow Control Balance also makes the excavator even more responsive and efficient by customizing the priority of hydraulic flow used for movements like arm in and boom up as well as arm in and swinging.
For added control, the CX380E features selectable free swing functionality, giving operators more stability and improved safety with less fatigue when lifting and placing swinging loads, working on uneven terrain or loading trucks. Along with advanced
controls, operators can also work more confidently using the 270-degree camera which provides a bird’s-eye view via the display screen for improved visibility and safer operation, as well as setting up arm and swing preferences.
Operator-First Cab Comfort
Just as visibility and control support safer operation, the cab is designed to support the operator through long hours on the jobsite.
“Operators work hard, so creating an operator-first experience to help fight fatigue and increase efficiency is a priority in every new CASE machine,” says Dolan.
“We designed the CX380E cab with automotive-like features, with heated, airsuspension seating and lots of legroom. A suspended
operator station locks the seat and console together so no matter the operator’s size, they have the same experience and ergonomic access to the controls. Together, these features boost comfort and help workers get more done on the job.”
Maintenance and Support
For maintenance and serviceability, the CX380E has advanced telematics, allowing dealers to run diagnostics and update software
remotely without the need for an on-site service technician—saving time and money while promoting more uptime. In addition, the comprehensive CASE ProCare heavy machine support program comes standard, with a 3-year/3,000-hour full machine factory warranty, plus 3-year/2,000-hour planned maintenance support and a 5-year advanced telematics subscription.

Working together to prevent wildfire and keep communities safe
To increase wildfire prevention and help keep people safe, the Province has taken action over the past six years to strengthen provincial and community capacity for wildfire mitigation and preparedness. In recent years, the BC Wildfire Service’s (BCWS) wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts have expanded rapidly, supported by the BCWS growing into a year-
round organization focused on proactively reducing wildfire risks as well as responding to fires. Prevention efforts have included hundreds of wildfire risk-reduction and fuel-management projects with partner agencies, with 88 cultural and prescribed fire projects planned for 2025, of which eight have already been implemented this spring.
Since 2018, the Province, through BCWS, has invested approximately $466 million in wildfire resiliency and riskreduction projects. The Province’s approach to wildfire risk reduction is through strategic partnerships with communities, First Nations, and external partners, in addition to the BCWS’ direct wildfire mitigation. In advance of this year’s wildfire season, the Province continues to work on fuel mitigation and community preparedness activities to reduce the threat of wildfire, in partnership with local governments and First Nations, and the following organizations:
FireSmart BC
FireSmart actions are tested and proven, and they increase your home’s chance of
survival in the event of a wildfire. FireSmart is the Canadian standard recognized by all provinces and territories based on National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. This year, there are 250 FireSmart recognized neighbourhoods throughout B.C., and approximately 140 FireSmart co-ordinators within local governments and First Nations. More than 113 local governments and First Nations participate in the Wildfire Mitigation Program, formerly the Home Partners Program, including 20 of the 28 regional districts
As a leader in wildfire mitigation and preparedness, work by FireSmart BC includes:
• funding 309 local governments and First Nations to undertake FireSmart activities;
• 231 FireSmart positions proposed for funding or partially subsidized in communities across the province; and
• 57 garden centre locations across B.C. now participate in the FireSmart Plant Program.
• Union of BC Municipalities and First Nations’ Emergency Services Society.
Since 2019, the Province has taken action in partnership with the Union of BC Municipalities and First Nations’ Emergency Services Society to reduce wildfire risk through FireSmart grants and supports, with $185 million committed to date. The Union of BC Municipalities, in partnership with First Nations Emergency Services Society (FNESS), administers the FireSmart Community Funding and Supports (FCFS) program to communities on behalf of the Province. More than 936 applications have been received since 2019, leading to more than $126 million in approved completed projects.
Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC)
The Province partners with FESBC to reduce wildfire risks, enhance wildlife habitats, improve damaged or low-value forests, and manage greenhouse gases. Since 2016, $79.6 million has been invested in 201 community wildfire risk-reduction projects through FESBC. As part of Budget 2024, an additional $60 million was announced

Fire Chiefs Association of British Columbia
The Fire Chiefs’ Association of British Columbia is a non-profit organization that serves as an essential source of information, education, and community for its members. It proactively engages with the government and standards organizations on issues relating to fire services, resulting in effective and supported fire departments across the province. Through an agreement with the Fire Chiefs Association of BC (FCABC), BC Wildfire Service has worked closely with local fire departments to coordinate equipment and personnel, with more than 100 fire departments that have pre-registered their personal and equipment for provincial deployments this season.
Farmland Advantage
Farmland Advantage helps farmers identify and enhance the natural values on a
farm that can be protected, restored, and enhanced and develops recommendations and plans to preserve them. Since 2021, the BCWS has worked with Farmland Advantage on $1.4 million in wildfire riskreduction and community resiliency projects, focusing on strategic areas in the wildland-urban interface.
Fraser Basin Council
After the 2023 fire season, the Premier’s Expert Task Force on Emergencies recommended defining clear pathways for organized and trained local people to play a role in wildfire preparedness and response, based on consistent safety, pre-season training and readiness standards and plans, and integration into the BCWS or local emergency management structure with appropriate co-ordination, accountability and oversight. The BCWS partnered with the Fraser Basin Council in fall 2023 to engage rural communities as part of the Wildfire Roundtables they facilitate.
Through this engagement, the Fraser Basin Council received responses from 37 out of 89 electoral area directors. Of the 37 responses, 35 identi-
fied existing groups that were outside of structural protection areas. Twenty-four of these groups were organized, and 11 were not organized at the time.
The feedback received was instrumental in guiding the steps BCWS took leading into the 2024 fire season to invest in the preparedness for these groups by training more than 430 community members across 21 groups and engaging them in co-operative response efforts in the 2024 fire season. The groups that were hired in the 2024 fire season were engaged in lowcomplexity tasks aligned with their basic training such as mopping up, cooling ash pits and patrolling areas to prevent potential flare-ups.
In recognition of the need to grow this program beyond the initial training intake in 2023, the Regional District Cooperative Community Wildfire Response Organizations program was established to assist in funding training and equipment purchasing of rural response groups.

DEVELON Introduces Its Next-Generation Log Loaders And Road Builders
DEVELON is helping logging professionals take on tough forestry and timber processing jobs with its new, next-generation -7 Series log loaders and road builders.
The initial -7 Series launch includes the DEVELON DX225LL-7 log loader and DX225RB-7 road builder, with more log loaders and road builders to be announced in the upcoming months. The new lineup features enhanced safety features, heavy-duty
components and easy serviceability to help logging companies move more timber and build access roads to the harvesting and log loading areas.
“We took learnings and incorporated features from our previous products to directly shape the design and function
of the new -7 Series log loaders and road builders,” says Morgan Stallings, senior director, product management and marketing. “Equipped with reliable performance, and comfort and visibility enhancements, they are designed to help those working in challenging conditions. Feedback from a longtime log loader customer operating a DX225LL-7 prototype in the Pacific Northwest confirms that our design and enhancements are paying off.”
Increased Productivity
The -7 Series log loaders and road builders are ready to take on high-demand tasks. They have increased horsepower, faster cycle times and more lifting capacity to complete timber harvesting and log loading faster.
An increased swing torque helps the machines swing heavy loads more efficiently, even when moving the load uphill. The fine swing function reduces the amount of shaking when lifting heavy objects, resulting in greater control, more accuracy and safer operation.
When higher lifting capacity is needed, operators can use a convenient one-touch power boost button on the right-hand joystick to provide a momentary hydraulic boost. Operators can also choose from four selectable power modes to best match the application they’re working in to increase efficiency and minimize fuel consumption.
Matt Smith of Skookumchuck Logging in Chehalis, Washington, is a forestry professional and has previously owned older generations of DEVELON log loaders. He’s seen considerable evolution in the machines since he first started using them for timber harvesting. Matt’s company has been operating a DX225LL-7 log loader prototype for several months in partnership with local dealer Cascade Trader.
“The new DX225LL-7 log loader has been bulletproof for us,” says Smith. “We’re using it for shovel logging and loading trucks, and it’s smooth to operate. It’s got
more power for faster cycle times and increased productivity, especially when we’re swinging logs.”

operating or positioning the machine in tight areas.
Optional on -7 Series log loaders and road builders is a side-entry forestry cab certified for Oregon OSHA and British Columbia WCB standards. The forestry cab is built with guarded polycarbonate front, side and rear windows, as well as a rear secondary exit. For added protection, optional 32-mm polycarbonate glass is available.
Additional options for the new road builders include a boom and arm lock valve. A straight travel pedal feature, which allows the operator to travel in a straight line more easily, is standard on all log loader models and optional for road builders. Both log loaders and road builders have the option for an air compressor and fuel filler pump.
Other notable features on DEVELON -7 Series log load-
stiffness and strength of steel with the durability, longevity and lower cost recycled composite material resulting in maximized load distribution. The flanges of the I-beams engage the specially designed and molded composite timbers to create a single, rigid body that moves uniformly. This is different from traditional wood mats, where the timbers are held together with a through-bolt.
A center plate built into the pad creates a designated operating area to assist crane operators with outrigger float placement. This physical guide makes it easier to place the float for optimal load distribution, reducing setup time and improving safety on the job site.
ers and road builders include:
• Radio and Bluetooth audio
• Travel alarm
• PA system: standard for log loaders, optional for road builders
“The DX225LL-7 has been very operator-friendly and makes it easy for our operators to run,” says Smith. “Operator comfort is huge in today’s forestry environment.”
Easy Serviceability and Maintenance

EcoMax also features two distinct rating scenarios. The first is the standard rated capacity, which applies to conditions when the pad is fully supported. The second rating–referred to as the “Bridge Rating,” applies to situations where the ends of the pad are supported by the ground and a gap exists beneath the center.
“Materials should be in full contact with the supporting surface. However, we understand this is not always possible. EcoMax pads have the strength and stiffness properties to support loads without full contact with supporting materials, which enables EcoMax pads to be used in this de-rated scenario,” said Koberg.
Supply Post Attends Liebherr Demo Day
Supply Post got the chance to test drive the latest Liebherr equipment at the Liebherr Demo Day. By Kristen Washburn
In early June, I had the chance to attend the Liebherr Demo Day in Maple Ridge, BC! They brought their R 945 crawler excavator, A 918 Compact wheeled excavator, TA 230 articulated rock truck, PR 726 dozer, and L 556 Z XPower wheel loader. Located at the IUOE Training Facility, their impressive lineup of equipment was ready for hands-on testing.
I’ve never had the chance to operate heavy equipment before, so it was more than a little intimidating crawling into the cab. I was able
to test out the R 945 crawler excavator, as well as the L 556 Z XPower wheel loader. Both machines look incredibly complex with multiple joysticks and controls to operate the various moving parts. It was daunting trying to figure out how to move everything in coordination with each other, but with the help of the Liebherr team I was successfully able to fill buckets, raise and lower attachments, and drive laps around the gravel yard.
The Liebherr team was fantastic, talking through the controls, explaining
fundamentals, and staying in the cab to guide me through the various tasks that equipment operators tackle every day. The thoughtful engineering behind Liebherr’s userfriendly interfaces really
shows. The controls responded smoothly, the visibility from the cab was excellent, and even a total beginner was able to complete tasks without mishap.
It’s amazing how advanced technology, thought-
ful design, and good teachers can make such powerful equipment accessible to newcomers. This experience left me with a new appreciation for both the machinery and the skilled operators who make it look effortless every
By
day! Big thanks to the Liebherr team for having us and putting on such a wonderful event! SP

Cat Announces Excavator Upgrades
Caterpillar announces multiple updates for its Cat Hydraulic Excavator line as part of its annual product update (APU) program.
Helping to improve machine efficiency and get operators quickly to work, the enhancements include Cat Grade technologies, a new User Interface (UI) for quick navigation and an Advanced Payload option for Cat track excavators. These updates apply to Cat small, medium, and large excavators, plus material handlers, wheeled excavators, and forestry and specialty machines.
Cat Grade enhancements
With 2025 model builds, Cat Grade with Advanced 2D features and functions are now integrated into standard Cat Grade with 2D. Compared to traditional grading methods, Cat 2D technology empowers operators to work more efficiently in a range of applications by delivering real-time guidance for accurate vertical and horizontal control. It helps to ensure that cuts and fills are made to
exact specifications, without undercutting or overcutting, and can eliminate the need for ground stakes in most applications.
“Our 2D grading technology provides easy adjustments to target depth and slope using joystick commands, the touchscreen interface, or a jog dial. It displays target grade with visual guidance plus height and depth,” says Jason Ho, senior global product consultant – excavation for Caterpillar. “To help ensure long life, the integrated components are protected from damage, and 2D works with multiple bucket types, including digging, cleaning, grading and tilting.”
For customers grading complex designs, Grade with 3D technology is now a factory-installed option that can be
ordered for track and wheeled excavators. This new option includes all the hardware required for the 3D system, installed and tested from the factory. It provides an easier upgrade path for customers who want to add Cat Grade with 3D after initial purchase.
New user interface
Cat Payload for excavators and material handlers delivers precise bucket load information with on-the-go weighing to help prevent overloading or underloading. From reordering work tool lists to creating new work tool combinations, the display’s new UI starts quickly and enables operators to easily set up machines and access information so they get to work without delay. Operators keep track of the amount of material moved and can split tasks between truck loading in Weigh Mode and moving material around the site in Stockpile Mode. The ability to input couplers and attachments into the sys-
tem makes setting up work tool combinations highly efficient by significantly reducing calibration time.
“While Cat Payload helps operators to accurately hit load targets and avoid underloading, overloading or misloading materials,” adds Ho, “customers with track excavators can upgrade the system to Advanced Payload for expanded capabilities such as custom tags, daily totals and electronic ticketing. When combined with VisionLink®, Advanced Payload enables customers to analyze job sites and individual assets for remote management of production targets and key metrics.”
Cat Advanced Payload helps customers to:
• Lower costs – by saving time, labor and fuel consumption.
• Improve accuracy – with precise payload targets that help eliminate over and underloading.
• Monitor safety – by helping to prevent truck overloading, which results in heavier and more unstable loads.
Cat Operator Training
All the latest APU 2025 features in action can be viewed on Cat Operator Training at www.catoperatortraining.com. Caterpillar’s Equipment Training Solutions (ETS) team develops and executes training programs for Cat equipment operators and jobsite supervisors and certifies operators in the Cat dealer network. The comprehensive training solutions help operators maximize production and improve safety through a variety of training solutions, including eLearning, instructor-led, simulators, and custom training programs.

Liebherr Tower Crane Lifts Steel Components For Giant Witches Broom
The highest viewing tower in the Harz Mountains, described as “the world’s largest witches’ broom,” has been erected in picturesque Rothesütte, not far from the Lower Saxony border.
A Liebherr 340 EC-B 16 tower crane, with an impressive hook height of 57.5 metres and a 40-metre radius, was used for the challenging lifting work on site.
The construction site in Rothesütte, Germany, presented the Liebherr crane from company Hüffermann with significant challenges. Access to the site was difficult, which meant that work had to be planned and car-
ried out with a great deal of precision. The Liebherr crane lifted 12.5 tonne steel sections into position on the tower’s concrete base for the planned lift installation.
Around 2560 steel parts were needed in total and over 22,300 bolts were used to create the 452 tonne steel structure.
The Liebherr crane was instrumental in the project’s progress. Its high lifting ca-
need for aftermarket modifications and make these machines well-suited for tackling various tasks across diverse jobsites—whether running hammers, rippers, augers, thumbs, buckets or grapples.
The new midi excavators are also designed to maximize output in confined work zones where larger excavators can’t fit but would otherwise be right for the job. The fixedboom CX85E delivers maximum performance in tight spaces with zero tailswing, which allows operators to work up against walls, fences or other structures. The optimized swing boom on the CX90E provides 180 degrees of movement with superior reach and dig depth for trenching and confined-space excavation.
Next-Level Operator Comfort and Control
The CASE CX85E and CX90E midi excavators take an operator-first approach to design, offering a wide range of features that boost comfort and control. Both models feature one of the most spacious cabs in the industry, complete with automatic climate control and a standard heated air-suspension seat. Superior visibility and a 7-inch LCD
pacity and flexibility made it possible to master the complex on-site requirements.
The 340 EC-B 16 was dismantled at the end of 2024 after the last steel components had been successfully installed.
The viewing tower will be a major attraction in the Harz Mountains, opening up a world of discovery with an interactive exhibition that takes visitors into the fascinating realm of witches and myths. The tower will become part of the ‘Harzer Hexenstieg’ hiking trail, making it a major addition to tourism in the region.
With funding totalling 10.1 million euros provided by the state of Thuringia, the Harzer Hexenreich project is scheduled for completion in the course of 2025. The viewing tower is 70 metres high and offers visitors spectacular panoramic views of the Harz forests, meadows and mountains as far as the Wurmberg and Brocken. SP

Precision and adaptability come standard on both machines with adjustable electro-hydraulic controls, which let operators set lift and tilt responsiveness to match specific jobsite requirements or operator preferences. The customizable controls also make it easier to run advanced CASE attachments for more versatility.
Made for Mastering Modern Jobsite Challenges
The new CASE midi excavators pack a range of ad-
vanced features and options that deliver the capabilities and efficiency crews need to meet the challenges of demanding worksites. With options for full rubber tracks, steel tracks in multiple widths or steel tracks with rubber pads, contractors can customize and optimize their machines to match the terrain of their applications. In addition, an optional LED light package delivers industryleading light coverage, letting crews maximize visibility for working day or night.
The CX85E and CX90E also simplify maintenance. A tilting cab gives operators fast and easy access to hydraulic components, while wide
compartments, swing-out side panels and ground-level service points make routine maintenance and daily checks more efficient.
“Our goal at CASE is to help increase efficiency, productivity and profitability for contractors with swift, smooth and smart machines that meet today’s evolving jobsite conditions,” said Dolan. “The latest additions to our midi excavator lineup are a big step forward to provide crews with the power, versatility and precision they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive industry.” SP

Designed for maximized durability and ease of maintenance, these rotary rakes feature large, 420-mm (16.5 in) cam tracks. Due to large components and easily accessible grease points, they have the ability to hold up in tough field conditions and eliminate complex maintenance and service procedures.
Enhance efficiency and simplify your maintenance process with a modular rotor featuring separately removable spring tine arm pairs.
Each cam bearing module is secured with three bolts, streamlining maintenance for operators.
TE485 tedder
The TE485 tedder, with its impressive 48.5-ft (14.8 m) tedding width, will be the largest in the Vermeer lineup. Vermeer, a pioneer in tedding, was among the first companies to introduce hook tines to the United States. Hook tines provide optimized hay quality through more consistent and complete dry-down as hay is inverted with wet crop on top and dry on the bottom. Plus, Vermeer hook tines are backed by 3-year coverage.
Vermeer tedder.
A product built to last
Even before the invention of the large round baler in 1971, Vermeer was in relentless pursuit of “finding a better way” for hay and forage operations.
It was Vermeer founder, Gary Vermeer, who said, “Find a need, fill that need with a product built to last, and simply build the best.” This philosophy lives on at Vermeer as they continue to anticipate and address and invest in the evolving needs of producers with premium, yet practical solutions.
“The Vermeer brand has been built, in large part by delivering products that not only perform out of the gate, but that are built strong and to last,” Rourke said. “We use this lens for every product we bring to market.”
Over the last year, Vermeer has introduced new generations of their silage balers and mower conditioners — both focused on providing efficiency, productivity and reliability for customers. Most notably, they announced a partnership with GT Bunning & Sons in September to add a wide range of manure spreaders to their product portfolio.
The continual growth of Vermeer product lines to meet the needs of producers is evident, this expanded lineup is no exception.

More Sand & Gravel, Less Red Tape For Alberta Aggregates
The Alberta government is laying the foundation for faster approvals by launching a new task force to cut red tape and accelerate regulatory processes for sand and gravel operations.
Sand, gravel and crushed stone are the backbone of Alberta’s construction economy – essential for building the roads we drive on, the homes we live in and the infrastructure that supports our communities. These critical aggregates, often sourced from private land, play a foundational role across multiple industries. While these materials are heavily regulated to protect Alberta’s environment, landowners and operators have consistently voiced
frustration that excessive red tape is creating unnecessary barriers to development and slowing down the delivery of sand and gravel to market.
To dig into these concerns and build a more efficient path forward, Alberta’s government is launching the Sand and Gravel Task Force. This dedicated group will work to streamline regulations related to sand and gravel pits located on private lands, ensuring faster project timelines while continuing to uphold Alberta’s high environmental standards.
Minister of Environment and Protected Areas. “It’s time to stop graveling under bureaucracy and start building Alberta’s future. MLA van Dijken and MLA Lunty will leave no stone unturned as they dig into this important work.”
Task Force and committed to advancing a more transparent, consistent and practical regulatory process. This is an important step toward ensuring that the voices of rural communities are not only heard but meaningfully integrated into decisionmaking.”

Led by Glenn van Dijken, MLA for Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock, and Brandon Lunty, MLA for LeducBeaumont, the task force will include representatives from industry and municipalities who understand the importance of timely access to sand and gravel resources. Over the next six months, the Sand and Gravel Task Force will deliver actionable recommendations focused on reducing bureaucratic delays, supporting landowners and strengthening Alberta’s aggregate supply chain.
By clearing away unnecessary red tape, Alberta is preparing the ground for a more responsive regulatory system – one that delivers more sand and gravel, faster and smarter.
“With the launch of the Sand and Gravel Task Force, we’re paving the way for a faster, smoother process,” announced Rebecca Schulz,
“Sand and gravel are foundational for building and maintaining a strong economy,” said Glenn van Dijken, Task Force Co-chair and MLA for Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock. “From road infrastructure to industrial uses or residential housing, these resources are essential. Our government is determined to ensure the regulatory process around sand and gravel pits recognizes the need for efficiency and clarity.”

New Actions To Power A Clean-Energy Future In BC
BC Hydro has launched two requests for expressions of interest to explore the next era of power potential, expand clean-energy resources and advance energy efficiency.
These actions are critical to ensuring a stable, reliable electricity system that supports new housing, businesses and industries while keeping energy costs affordable for people.
“We have a once-in-ageneration opportunity to lead the world in clean energy and we’re acting with urgency to make sure every British Columbian benefits,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions. “By expanding our clean-power supply and increasing energy efficiency, we’re securing our power grid, building a resilient electricity system and creating sustainable jobs that drive economic growth.”
The first RFEOI focuses on expanding B.C.’s longterm capacity to meet peak electricity demand as consumption patterns evolve. BC Hydro is seeking ideas on capacity and baseload energy projects, including geothermal, pumped storage and hydroelectric resources. Capacity and baseload projects can reliably deliver firm power and provide backup for intermittent energy projects, such as wind and solar that rely on external, uncontrollable conditions such as the wind blowing or the sun shining to deliver power.
The second RFEOI targets innovation in energy efficiency by identifying partners capable of delivering market-ready technologies that help conserve energy in homes and buildings. Through the RFEOI, BC Hydro seeks to collaborate with industry leaders and forward-thinking organizations to help people in Brit-
Both initiatives are part of the recently announced Clean Power Action Plan, an ambitious strategy to strengthen energy security, enhance system resilience and accelerate the transition to clean power. The plan also includes:
ish Columbia save energy and lower costs.
Energy efficiency is the cleanest and least expensive way to meet increasing demand for power. The energy-efficiency RFEOI supports BC Hydro’s comprehensive Power Smart energy savings program and complements BC Hydro’s $700 million expanded Energy Efficiency Plan, which increases investments in tools, technologies and rebates. These initiatives encourage energy-conscious decisions and help customers reduce electricity consumption. BC Hydro estimates that this plan will save customers $80 million annually and deliver more than 2,000 gigawatthours of electricity savings by 2030, the equivalent of powering more than 200,000 homes.
“We are looking beyond the near term and opening up exploration of the next chapter of B.C.’s energy future by advancing the dialogue with industry participants and potential partners around cleantechnology investments and expanding our leading energy-efficiency programs,” said Chris O’Riley, president and CEO of BC Hydro. “With BC Hydro’s long-standing legacy of delivering clean, reliable power, these initiatives will drive growth, sustainability and energy security, creating new opportunities across British Columbia.”
The information gathered from both RFEOIs will guide future energy planning and procurement strategies. Submissions will close in September 2025.
• launching a second call for power to acquire a target of as much as 5,000 gigawatt-hours per year of energy from large, clean and renewable projects, which builds on the success of the 2024 call for power and resulted in 10 new renewable-energy projects, with First Nations asset ownership between 49% and 51%, capable of powering about 500,000 new homes;
• investing more than $12 million from the B.C. Innovative Clean Energy fund in a targeted threeyear call for new, madein-B.C. clean-energy technologies that will combat climate change and create sustainable jobs; and
• streamlining connections to B.C.’s grid to enable new homes and businesses to access clean electricity faster and less expensively.
Through these actions, BC Hydro is reinforcing its commitment to delivering clean, reliable energy, supporting British Columbia’s transition to a low-carbon economy and ensuring electricity remains affordable, sustainable and accessible to all residents.
Quick Facts:
The following BC Hydro actions will power more than one million new homes in the coming years:
• adding the Site C hydroelectric dam, which will generate enough electricity to power 500,000 homes and increase supply by 8%;
• bringing new renewable wind and solar projects into service from the recent call for power, collectively powering 500,000 homes and boosting supply by 8%; and,
• expanding investments in energy efficiency, expected to save 2,000 gigawatthours of electricity annually, enough to power 200,000 homes. SP

Wirtgen Introduces SP 33 Slipform Paver
Wirtgen has introduced the SP 33, its latest slipform paver for the production of monolithic concrete profiles.
The machine can be used for paving in both offset and Crosspave modes. This enables the realization of various different paving applications with only one machine.
Wirtgen is showing the compact SP 33 – its latest slipform paver model for the construction of monolithic concrete profiles. Thanks to its modular construction concept and a wide range of setting options, the machine can be configured for use in almost all situations encountered on construction sites. Two crawler units with parallelogram swing legs at the front and a laterally adjustable single crawler unit at the rear enable zeroclearance paving and maximum flexibility. In offset mode, it can pave curb and gutter profiles, rectangular profiles, and concrete barriers up to a height of 1.3 m as
well as sewer and drainage channel profiles. Concrete slabs with a paving width of up to 2.2 m can also be realized without any problems, also up to a width of 2.4 m in combination with a Trimmer. In Crosspave mode, the track units are turned by 90° and the machine then paves transverse to the direction of travel. The slipform mold is centrally mounted under the machine, which enables the paving of concrete slabs with widths of up to 3.0 m.
The quick and easy conversion from one paving mode to the other makes the machine extremely versatile. In addition to delivering precise paving results, the capabilities offered by the machine also make it a particularly cost-efficient paving solution.
The new operating concept with event-driven
graphic visualization assists operators in their work with both paving modes. The machine control panel provides separate zones for clear and simple visualization of the currently relevant machine information for each of the three main working phases: Transport, Set-Up, and Concrete Paving. For instance, in Set-Up, it visualizes the set-up process on the construction site in a logical sequence that guides operating personnel through the successive set-up of individual systems such as the crawler units, the mold, the vibrators, the sensors, etc., intuitively, efficiently, and without errors.
The load-dependent engine management system identifies every working situation and the power it requires and automatically adjusts the speed of the diesel engine accord -
ingly without intervention on the part of the operator. This ensures that the diesel engine runs within the envelope of optimal efficiency as often as possible. This enables low diesel fuel consumption and simultaneously reduces CO₂ and noise emissions.
The operator is also assisted by the AutoPilot 2.0 control system. In concrete paving, pavers are traditionally controlled by the scanning
of a physical stringline. As an alternative, Wirtgen offers its field-proven AutoPilot 2.0 stringless paving system for all offset pavers and placer/ spreaders. This eliminates the need for a physical stringline for controlling the paver, which leads to considerable savings in terms of time and effort and increases the safety of personnel on the construction site. The system controls both the height adjustment and steering of the machine.
A GNSS signal and, depending on the configuration, various local sensors, such as an ultrasonic sensor on the machine, act as a reference. Thanks to the quickchange concept, the exchange of offset and Crosspave molds on the construction site is particularly quick and easy. SP

AutoPilot 2.0 also enables fast and precise paving of tight radii and complex geometries.
The Wirtgen slipform paver SP 33 can pave concrete slabs with widths
offset mode and up to 3.0 m in Crosspave mode.
Procurement For Roberts Bank Terminal 2 To Begin This Summer
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority will issue a request for qualifications in July 2025 for a construction partner to deliver the landmass and wharf component of the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, a significant step towards delivering the project.
The new marine container terminal at the Port of Vancouver is a transformational, nation building project that will support Canada’s economic security and trade resilience, enabling the trade of more than $100 billion in goods annually once fully operational.
More than 18,000 jobs will be created during construction, and once operational the new terminal is anticipated to generate more than 17,000 well-paying, long-term jobs and add more than $3 billion in GDP annually.
Based on ongoing discussions with industry, the port authority will pursue a progressive design-build procurement model. This approach will allow for greater flexibility in the design process, strengthen collaboration, and enhance cost and schedule certainty.
The contract will include the delivery of a marine terminal landmass; wharf struc-
ture and berth pocket; widened causeway; expanded tug basin; and environmental mitigation and offsetting projects. Procurement opportunities for other components of the project will be available in the coming years.
Roberts Bank Terminal 2 will support affordability for Canadians and supply chain reliability for Canadian businesses; and create lasting benefits for local communities.
Twenty-seven Indigenous groups have provided consent for the project to proceed.
In 2023, the federal and provincial governments approved the project following a rigorous environmental assessment process. In 2024, the port authority submitted a Species at Risk Act-compliant Fisheries Act Authorization application to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, with a joint commitment with government and regulators for a decision no later than October 2026.
NORDMANN T-1060 JAW CRUSHER
Construction mobilization and early works are expected to occur in 2027, with major land reclamation works expected to begin in 2028. Terminal operations are set to begin in the mid2030s.
To select a construction partner, the procurement process will include:
• A request for qualifications for construction partners who have a strong record in the collaborative delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects in marine environments with similar technical, logistical, environmental, and regulatory requirements, and demonstrated experience developing and delivering on commitments to First Nations
• At the conclusion of the request for qualifications process, three qualified construction partners will be invited to participate in a request for proposals for a design and early works agreement (DEWA) that outlines the activities and requirements for the development phase to inform the final investment decision The selected construction partner will collaborate with the port authority, First Nations, and regulators throughout the DEWA to develop the construction logistics, work planning, costs, schedule, and early works opportunities.
Once works under the DEWA have sufficiently advanced—and following a successful final investment decision by the port authority—a target price design-build agreement will be executed with the selected construction partner and the construction phase will begin.
Anticipated timeline
• Request for qualifications issued: July 2025
• Request for qualifications submission deadline: Fall 2025
• Request for proposal issued to three shortlisted construction partners: Late 2025
• Request for proposal submission deadline: Spring 2026
• Final investment decision and early works: 2027
• Construction start—land reclamation: 2028. SP

The rear-mounted TM16160/28000 tire manipulator provides exceptional handling capability with +80° to -24° articulation, 315° rotation and a clamping width of up to 401 cm (158 inches).
Engineered for versatility, the manipulator’s continuous rotating pads and parallelogram design allow it to service tire and rim combinations up to 7,500 kg (16,500 lbs) while accommodating smaller tires down to 102 cm (40 inches) in diameter.
To support demanding construction and mining applications, the tire truck is equipped with the Stellar 110P Two-Stage Air Compressor — a hydraulic-driven, air-cooled system delivering 3,110 liters per minute (110 CFM) at 12 bar (175 psi). This high-capacity compressor ensures operators have the air power needed for tire inflation, impact wrenches and other critical service tools on-site.
Additionally, the TM16160/28000 features Stellar’s modified A-frame stabilizer system, which combines the reliability of traditional stabilizers with the adaptability of out-and-
keeping the industry strong by attracting new talent and celebrating those who dedicate their lives to the road,” said Alex Martin-Banzer, Western Star Brand Manager. “The Star Nation Experience is one of the ways we’re building those connections—by giving participants an inside look at the trucking world and the people who drive it forward.”
As part of the experience, attendees will gain exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Daimler Truck North America’s High Desert Proving Grounds, where they will put latest Western Star trucks to the test in an X-Series Ride & Drive Challenge and engage with industry leaders. The event also includes an outdoor adventure component
that shows off Oregon’s High Desert, from ATV excursions to fly-fishing, reinforcing the camaraderie that defines the trucking community. Past participants have spoken to the impact of the experience. “The best part of the whole experience was the competition and the camaraderie,” said Brendan Schellenberg, Operator and American Truck Simulator Driver, Steinbach, MB, Canada, a 2024 Star Nation Experience participant. “We all had a blast – talking trucks, driving trucks, comparing how we did, and just laughing together.”
The 2025 Star Nation Experience is open to truckers aged 21 and over, industry professionals, and engaged ATS followers who are interested in taking their skills to the next level with the real deal. While a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is not required for ATS applicants, it is encouraged, as some activities involve operating commercial vehicles. SP

Lode King Launches 2026 Renown Series Trailers
The Renown series from Lode King combines the strength of steel with the low maintenance and weight advantages of aluminum to form a lightweight and sturdy trailer.
These trailers are recognized as some of the best combo trailers on the road today.
The Renown series trailer has been the flagship trailer for Lode King for more than 20 years. It’s unique in the fact that it is comprised mostly of aluminum. The primary steel component in the Renown series trailer is the main rail.
Side Rails
The new side rail features an integrated load hook track, enabling easy repositioning of hooks to secure your load wherever needed, making it ideal for managing freight.
Another unique feature of Renown trailers is the seven-inch-wide main side rail. This robust design was made to support heavy loads
on the bottom rail. The top rail, which accommodates the sliding winch configuration commonly used today, features a six-inch side rail on the upper deck.
Airbox
The airbox on this trailer can be positioned in one of two locations. It can be mounted near the landing gear or near the suspension. This placement is customizable and can be specified during the build and configure process online.
Lighting
Additionally on the Renown series trailer is a sliding winch track, which is not part of the upper rail. Because it is not part of the upper rail, it can be added to any available side rail configurations, except for the JP Rail.
Truck-Lite supplies all lighting, and several options are available to suit your needs. Because many drop deck trailers are designed to transport wider loads, the ability to identify the width of the load is required. The Renown series trailer provides several different locations for positioning those marker lights. The lights can be pinned into your desired location, and when not in
use, they tuck into a protected pocket to shield from road debris.
Landing Gear
The standard landing gear available on the Renown series trailer is the Holland Mark V landing gear. An optional feature to save on weight is the aluminum Jost landing gear with a galvanized insert on the lower leg. This particular option has a five-year maintenancefree leg with a 10-year warranty.
In-Floor Ramps
A highly popular feature is the integrated ramp that lifts directly out of the trailer floor and sits flush when not in use. This design eliminates the need for storing ramps underneath the trailer. To achieve this flush mounting, the crossmembers in this section are lowered by four inches, allowing the ramp to fold seamlessly into the floor. However, it’s important to note that sliding winches cannot be installed in the ramp area, as the lowered crossmembers would interfere with their operation.
Another option with the in-floor ramps is a gas-assisted strut. This enables the operator to be able to lift the ramp from the ground level making it a one-handed operation.
Dunnage Rack
All-new for the Renown series trailer is a fold-down door on the dunnage racks. With this update, once the dunnage rack is loaded, the door folds up, and two pins drop in, containing your load.
Wheel And Suspension Options
There are several different Hendrickson Intraax suspensions.
The Hendrickson TIREMAAX Pro Inflation System is an excellent option for improved tire life. This system ensures all tires remain at a consistent pressure.
This trailer offers several wheel options to suit your needs. The industry standard is a durable steel wheel with either a white or silver finish. Due to their lightweight construction, most customers purchasing combo trailers opt for aluminum
wheels. Supplied by
these aluminum wheels reduce weight and provide a sleek, polished appearance for your trailer.
Optional Features
Another option is the bolt-on bumper. Should the bumper become damaged, it’s a bolt-on, bolt-off situation, saving time and eliminating the need for welding. Toolboxes are available in several width and finish options and feature a camlock system that ensures a secure seal to keep moisture out of your box. The doors also open smoothly and come equipped with a high-quality interior seal to keep the contents inside dry. Additionally, the toolboxes have a locking feature for added security. If you decide not to select the J-hooks, the chain pull-out feature is offered as an alternative. This option allows you to choose the preferred locations for the chain pull-outs while customizing your trailer. It provides a convenient and secure tie-down solution that neatly tucks away when unused.
Beavertail Ramp Options
There are a variety of ramp options to suit your needs. A closed ramp option is also available along with the standard open ramp. The two center ramps are mounted directly into the trailer for those opting for open ramps. An advantage of these ramps is that they sit flush with the deck when folded into the transport position. This design ensures the space can still be utilized as a standard drop deck. SP

Eighth-Generation Farmer Restores 1984 Mack R
A piece of trucking history has found a new home at the Mack Trucks Historical Museum, thanks to the dedication of eighth-generation farmer and restoration enthusiast Grayce Emmick.
The restored 1984 Mack R Model, originally custombuilt for Johnny Prescott and Son Oil of Concord, New Hampshire, represents both Mack’s legacy and a personal journey for its restorer.
“I’ve always preferred older trucks over new, and to me there is nothing cooler than an old dog that looks new,” Emmick said. “Growing up around Mack trucks made it easy to fall in love with the brand. The first Mack I sat behind the wheel of is a 1985 R Model that has been on our farm since 1992.”
The year-long restoration project balanced preserving historical elements while adding modern touches. The truck maintains its original steering wheel cap, engraved with Custom Built for Johnny Prescott Oil Co., and features vintage Mack bulldog mirror ornaments with distinct long ears and tail designs.
“The Mack R Model series is iconic in trucking history, creating the benchmark for American transportation from 1965 and maintaining it through the mid-2000s,” said Doug Maney, curator of the Mack Trucks Historical Museum. “The fact that our trucks are not just dependable tools is reinforced by the R model, generating a source of pride for their owners. Grayce’s influence and hands-
on effort, preserving original details while thoughtfully modernizing others, helps us tell the story of Mack’s heritage and the evolution of trucking in America.”
The restoration began with several Mack supporters.
“Mack fans are loyal, dedicated, and supportive,” said Maney. “When this project was first mentioned, I had several offers from truck owners that wanted to help.
Jim Rymes of J & H Rymes and Daughters in Lakewood Ranch, FL, generously donated his truck for the base of this project. In order to get the R to Kentucky, another dedicated Mack fan, Gregg Hoffman with Underdog Transport in Bangor, PA, donated the hauling from Florida to Grayce’s family farm for her personalization. The Mack brand roots itself into people just as it has American and world history.”
The project became a family and community effort, with contributions from Grayce’s partner, Gavin Spoor, and other supporters. A personal touch includes a fifth wheel from Spoor’s truck – the very vehicle that brought the couple together during a 10-hour drive from Texas.
“Mack Trucks has been an integral part of my story and being able to donate to their
legacy is nothing short of empowering to me,” she said.
“We’re honored to welcome this historic R Model into our collection,” Maney said. “What makes this donation particularly special is how it bridges generations – combining the craftsmanship of Mack’s past with the passion of a young enthusiast who understands the importance of preserving our trucking heritage. It will serve as an inspiring example to museum visitors of Mack’s enduring quality and the continuing legacy of our favorite brand.”
The restoration process has been documented through a series on YouTube, offering viewers insight into the challenges and triumphs of bringing a classic truck back to life. Emmick’s connection to both farming and transportation runs deep. As the eighth generation of Emmick Farms, established in 1813 in the Ohio River-bottoms of Lewisport, Kentucky, she continues a legacy that spans more than two centuries.
The historic farm, which focuses on row crops, including corn, soybeans and winter wheat, has a unique place in American history – its riverbank once served as the site of Abraham Lincoln’s ferry business, and nearby, Lincoln won his first court

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Load Of Finished Lumber
In my last Supply Post article, I related that, during my time away from college classes trying to save money, I went to work for WMTS Trucking Company. Additionally, they were the only company for which I worked.
WMTS hauled a lot of lumber, and most lumber shipper loads were easy to load and also relatively easy for the driver to chain and tarp. Of course, there is always that shipper which causes you to bitch-and-moan when you get dispatched to its place of business. The lumber mill in this story shipped finished tongue-and-groove lumber, which happened to be as slippery as hot molasses.
My first load of this sh__, (sorry, but that’s what all the other drivers called it) was an educational experience. No, actually it was more of a nightmarish experience! To begin with, after the forklift placed all the various sized bundles on the trailer, it looked over-height to me, so I asked the forklift driver if he could measure it. I was disheartened to see that it measured exactly 13’6” from the ground, and that fellow kept grinning, while I was inwardly groaning.
If I remember correctly, the flatbed chains (which had one end welded to the rubrail) had half-inch links. (For you non-flatbed persons, one end of each chain was welded
so the chain would not be stolen, or otherwise magically disappear). Due to the chains being too heavy to throw over the load, the only way to get the chains across the tall load was to throw a rope across to the passenger side of the trailer. After walking around to the passenger side, you tied the rope to the end of a chain. Walking back around the trailer, you would then pull the rope-attached chain across the load of lumber. All you now needed to do was to perform the process seven more times. Before hooking the chain binders, the driver had to climb on top of the load to place corner protectors under each location the chain would have “bitten” into the lumber. (Yep, I used at least 16 protectors).
Nylon straps would have made the job tolerable but, at the time, the company only had a limited number of straps, and they had all been issued to the older drivers.
As you chained your load, the corner protectors only stayed in place if it was the 35th day of the month. The other days of the month, another few trips had to be made
to the top of the load to reposition many protectors. Since this was my first load from this shipper, I reckoned that tighter chains always worked better, so I used a three-foot long binder pipe to make sure the chains were secure. This extreme tightening caused many of the protectors to shift, so yes, I did get to make numerous climbs back to the top. By God, those chains were tight!
The next step was to tarp this expensive load of flooring. As was common practice, the forklift driver would lift the heavy tarp up onto the front top of the load. Many older drivers (with bad backs) will remember lumber tarps used to be one single canvas tarp large enough to cover a 13’6” high, 45’ long load, and it probably weighed between 150-200 pounds. (This same one-piece tarp was also used on all other commodities, such as steel coils, or farm machinery. After utilizing one end of a tarp to cover a single coil of steel, you would just roll-up the rest of the tarp and place at the back of the coil.)
WMTS’s canvas tarps had 3/8” X 4 ft. ropes threaded into each grommet, and each rope had a knot tied on one end. The rope was threaded through the bottom of the tarp flap, which held the rope in place. Each grommet was spaced approximately 24 inches apart. After spreading the tarp over the load, and then pulling the sides down level and tight, it seemed like it took forever to tie all the ropes to the rub rails. These ropes were especially fun when you arrived at your delivery destination, after you had driven through ice and snow, to find that your carefully hand-tied knots were frozen solid.
Creativity was your best frozen-knot-friend during these times, and the best way to untie them was to somehow thaw the knots. One time I used the receiver’s bathroom to fill gallon jugs with hot water. It took quite a few trips, but it got the job done. Another time, when delivering to a building supply store, I thawed the knots by purchasing a small propane torch. Thankfully, there was only one occasion when my only solution was to cut every single rope. Flatbed trucking has come a long way since the days of the canvas tarps, and I want to cry every time I see one of those present-day sliding roller-tarp equipped flatbeds!
Sorry, but I got off-track again, so let’s get back to the
finished lumber load- fromhell story. After leaving the lumber mill, I had traveled about 100 miles when I noticed in my mirrors what seemed to be bulges under the tarps on each side of the trailer. When I found a place to pull-over to inspect the load, I saw that the lumber bundles had worked outward. I had tightened the chains so much that the bundles were flattening, therefore bulging. Life lesson: When hauling finished tongue-and-groove lumber, only tighten chains so there is no “play” in them. DO NOT tighten the sh__ out of them!
Listening to other driver’ stories proved I was not the only hater of finished lumber. This product was so ornery to transport that sometimes, even though you were sure the load was securely tightened, the lumber would seem to develop a life of its own. While trucking down the highway, individual lumber pieces would begin working their way out of the middle of the top bundles on the back of the trailer. These rogue pieces would “telescope” so much that they would poke holes in the canvas tarps.
I was a rookie at hauling finished lumber, so I was certain several drivers were pulling-my-leg when they said there was a truck stop north of Richmond which had an outside wall on one side of its repair shop, which everyone used when they hauled fin-
ished lumber. When this first load did, in fact, telescope, I gladly learned that they were not kidding. I slowly backed my trailer up against the wall, thereby pushing the offending telescoped pieces back into their bundles. Unbelievable! I am certain that older flatbed operators agree that slick, finished lumber would be among the top ten most aggravating commodities to transport, followed closely by coiled wire rod. (Since I am trying to stay “on task,” I’ll get back to the coiled wire rod later.)
I was never overjoyed to learn that it was my time to be dispatched to pick up another load from this lumber shipper, but believe it or not, I actually did not have as much trouble with any of them as I had experienced on my inaugural load. I even learned the trick of doubling the tarp at the end of the load, which helped the lumber from telescoping. Notice that I said, “helped,” because there were times that even that did not help. SP
