liebherr Confirms successes in All Product Areas The Liebherr Group considers its presence at the 2014 Conexpo to have been highly successful.

More than 20 exhibits from the Group’s earthmoving, material handling, tower crane, mobile and crawler crane, concrete technology, deep foundation and component product areas aroused strong approval.

Compared with the 2011 Conexpo, the number of visitors was distinctly higher, and informative discussions were conducted with greater intensity than three years ago. As expected, most of the visitors to Las Vegas were from the North and South American markets, but the number of visitor groups from overseas countries such as Australia, India and Scandinavia was a surprise. Many of Liebherr’s most important business associates from well-established European markets were also welcomed on the Group’s stand.

Exchanges of views with many of the earthmoving division’s customers confirmed that higher construction-machinery efficiency is already an increasingly important factor in purchase decisions – on markets targeted in North America. Also very favourably received was Liebherr’s work on restructuring its sales and service organization in the USA. The tower crane division was able to sign new orders for projects in a number of major US cities.

Many more projects with good potential for the upcoming months were initiated. The launch of the new luffing jib crane 710 HC-L was a great success.

Ambitious targets were also achieved in the deep foundation, duty-cycle excavator and crawler crane business areas. There was special interest in the new LiSIM Simulator with its authentic display of complex construction-site work

sequences.

The mobile crane division, which has already reached a high volume of sales in the North American market, was able to conclude an unexpectedly large amount of new business. There was special interest in the LTM 1160-5.2 mobile crane, which was having its world premiere.

Reactions to current investment in the establishment and buildup of mobile crane sales and service centres in Central and South America were also highly positive.

In the concrete technology area, the exhibits from the new concrete pump product area were very well received.

The components division, which exhibited at this year’s Conexpo for the first time, identified strong interest in the presentation of its “SCRonly” technology for stage IV or Tier 4 final diesel engines. Now that its components are being offered actively to customers outside the Liebherr Group, many of the initial contacts made at the Conexpo may well open up interesting prospects for future projects. b

oTA Joins Business Coalition To save Gardiner expressway Tearing down the eastern Gardiner Expressway and replacing it with any option that increases traffic congestion is not acceptable, says a newly formed coalition of diverse industry groups, which includes the Ontario Trucking Association.

Maintaining the Gardiner’s capacity and improving its connection to the waterfront is the best option in order to meet current and future needs of downtown core business operations and ensure mobility, safety and quality of life for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, the group stated in a press release.

A report released by the City of Toronto is recommending that Council support removing the eastern expressway that serves over 100,000 trips per

day. While removal is the recommendation, the report summarized four options, only one of which maintained its current lane capacity.

The report is part of the broader objective of improving Toronto’s waterfront.

The coalition is made up of the Ontario Trucking Association, CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO), Canadian Courier & Logistics Association, Redpath Sugar, Ontario Motor Coach Association, Toronto Industry Network and the Toronto Financial District BIA. It will address the issues and impacts of the recommendation to remove the eastern Gardiner.

“Our coalition members all support the Waterfront Revitalization Project. We are in agreement that the Gardiner Expressway can be improved without being removed. How-

ever, reducing capacity on the Gardiner would force more commuters and trucks on to Toronto’s arterial roads putting the safety of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians at risk. This would have an enormous impact not only on the GTA’s economy and road congestion, but also the quality of life for residents,” said Faye Lyons, Government Relations, CAA SCO. Congestion is costing the GTHA economy $11 billion per year, according to the C.D. Howe Institute, and both industry and the people of Toronto will be negatively affected if lanes on the Gardiner are removed without providing access to new transit options.

The coalition is concerned that the broader impacts on the existing Greater Toronto Area’s transportation network is not being given the level of consideration it should.

The recommendation to remove the Gardiner also assumes that a

The competitiveness and vitality of Toronto’s downtown core must be a high priority, according to the coalition.

“Toronto’s congestion, if not improved, will continue to discourage businesses to locate in the city, and will contribute to the frustration of those trying to get around,” said Lyons. b

dynapac F800 Paver: First Time ever At Conexpo Dynapac introduces the F800T 8ft Track paver, a perfect complement to the existing 10ft highway class paver range. The next generation of highway class 8ft pavers is ready to tackle industry’s present challenges and be the leader of future generation North American Pavers.

Power packed performance Dynapac F800T Track paver exceeds the power requirements for varying job site conditions, be it on a minimum paving width of 8ft or at full width of 19 ft. The power source of 173 hp is provided from a renowned Cummins QSB 6.7 Tier 4 Final engine. Having a 6 cylinder engine to produce the required power reduces the load on the engine components and increases the longevity. The use of ECO mode setting for paving further reduces the fuel consumption.

All the hydraulic components are oversized and kept the same as the 10ft paver (F1000) range reducing the heat generation and reducing fatigue load, hence increasing the life of components significantly.

Using the same components between the models also reduces the parts count and increases spare

parts availability.

The large-sized efficient cross flow cooling system with Hydraulic-driven temperature-dependent variable speed fan reduces the noise level significantly and uses less power from engine, thus allowing more useful power for paving needs. The efficient cooling system allows the paver to perform well in extreme temperature conditions.

The bypass valve on Hydraulic oil cooler brings the temperature of the hydraulic system quickly to the required operating conditions and reducing the idle time even on cold mornings.

Traction gains attraction Dynapac F800T Track paver is equipped with a high performance frictional undercarriage system which is capable of pushing the trucks even when the hopper is fully loaded with asphalt. The entire weight of the Paver is supported by three oversized sets (four wheels/set) of oscillating bogie wheels allowing the paver to run on uneven surfaces without affecting the mat quality.

The heavy duty torque hub combined with 2 speed hydraulic motor provides ample torque while paving and travel speeds up to 8.5 mph to transport between jobs. The low deck height with proper positioning of the centre of gravity contributes to a very smooth ride. These heavy duty components combined with the renowned precise electronic propulsion and steering systems makes the Dynapac F800T paver truly versatile for any kind of highway or large commercial applications.

Smooth material flow Smooth and consistent material flow is very important to achieve best mat quality behind a paver.

Care for smooth flow of material starts from the time the truck touches the push roller to dump the asphalt on the hopper, all the way to when it gets properly laid by the screed. To ensure smooth and continuous flow of material, the engineers spent enormous effort in mapping the series of events and came out with the industry’s best innovative features. Patented

May 2014 Safe Impact push roller systems, Chamfered Hoppers, the dual bar feed conveyors and world’s thinnest auger chain box are some of those innovative features ensuring best flow of material to achieve the best mat quality.

Dynapac F800 series pavers will be equipped with the optional Patented Safe impact push roller system which solves the problem of trucks bumping into the paver. When a truck bumps into the paver, the Safe impact push roller system absorbs the shock and ensures the shock is not transmitted to the screed, which is very normal with the conventional push roller systems.

The material hopper can hold up to 13.5 tons of asphalt which is on par with the largest material hoppers available in this class of machines. Innovative chamfered corners reduces the sticking of asphalt at the corners and also allows ease of cleaning with the shovels at the end of paving. Dynapac F800 series pavers will also be equipped with optional hydraulically operated aprons which eliminate the material spillage at the front and also allow easy dumping of residual asphalt back into the hopper.

The independently controlled dual bar feed conveyor system combined with large auger flights ensures continuous flow of material. The 17” diameter auger flight is the largest in the industry, attached to the world’s thinnest 6” center chain box, eliminating the centerline segregation.

Both auger and conveyor speed control is achieved thru a precise integrated feed control system using 4 ultrasonic sensors. The optional integrated hydraulic tunnel eliminates the material spillage towards the track and provides optimal head of material.

The operator is in control The paving operation in general requires lot of attention from the operator to make proper adjustment to the paver and also constantly communicate to the truck driver and screed operator. That’s why Atlas Copco always follows the “Keep it simple and make it work” philosophy. This is ensured in the F800 series paver as well, with dual swing out operator consoles fitted with simple toggle switches and controls enabling the operaContinued on page 7

tor to focus on the paving process not the paver itself.

The switches are grouped for the specific operation and frequency of its use, allowing operators to react quickly for the varying job site conditions. Both operator consoles are fitted with electronic displays which provide accurate information of paving parameters.

Visibility is one of the key factors when it comes to pavers. F800 series pavers are designed with operator visibility as No.1 key factor as was done with the 10ft paver series. The low operating deck and engine cover height, dual swing out operator consoles and proper positioning of the operator station closer to the auger compartment make the operator constantly in communication with truck driver and screed men to control and achieve best paving process.

Industry leading legendary Carlson Screed The screed gets same importance as the paver to achieve best mat quality.

That’s why Dynapac offers the F800 series pavers with industry-leading legendary Carlson EZ08-15 front mounted electrical screed.

Supply Post Central/Eastern Canada Edition · www.supplypost.com Options like safety edges, berm attachments and bolt on extensions are also offered.

Controls for the screed operator are still fitted with simplified toggle switches, enabling access even with gloved hands. The load sensing hydraulic system provides faster response to varying widths and slope changes and consumes less power.

Power for screed electrical heating is provided by a tractor-mounted, generously oversized, 34kV hydraulically-driven generator. The generator also provides ample reserve power to connect night lighting accessories and wide width packages. The unique feature of the generator system is the frequency control at 60Hz all the time regardless of the load or speed of the engine enabling connection of frequency-dependent tools or accessories.

Maximizing uptime Dynapac F800 series is designed to maximize your uptime with simplified service concepts. It all starts with using off-the-shelf hydraulic and electrical components. The hydraulic system is fitted with redun-

Page 7

dant circuits and manual overrides to keep the paver up and running all the time, and also has quick disconnect fittings to test the pressures spillage-free.

The pavers are getting more complicated over the years to work or troubleshoot. With Dynapac F800 series paver, this problem is solved by simple relay logic system and a reduced number of computers, enabling very easy way of tracking the electrical system. The DP200 display on both consoles provides engine and paver related fault codes, making it easier for the operator and technicians to understand the situation and take corrective action. Calibration of the hydraulic pumps and electrical devices such as joysticks are possible from DP200 display itself, hence removing the need of laptop at the jobsite.

The central location of all the filters and other maintenance related items reduces the time required to do the scheduled preventive maintenance. With Cummins Tier IV technology, the maintenance interval on the engine is increased to 500 hrs.

depreciation dilemma: Managing idle equipment From the moment heavy equipment leaves a manufacturer’s lot, it begins losing value. Owners can best protect their investment by regularly putting equipment to work and taking good care of items. However, not all owners follow this advice. It’s not uncommon for equipment yards to have an overabundance of underutilized or poorly maintained machines that have been long forgotten.

Bottom line: heavy equipment is a depreciating asset that loses value over time.

If a piece of equipment is not put to work, it’s not generating revenue and is actually costing the owner money.

As the economy continues to improve, it’s important for fleet managers to think about their equipment inventory and cash flow so that they can better understand how to manage their organization’s assets.

When assessing whether to keep or sell equipment, organizations should take the following into consideration: 1. Current buyer demand Fleet managers should consult auction companies to assess the current market conditions for their items. This will make it easier to deter-

mine if selling the equipment makes sense or if it is wiser to wait for buyer demand to increase. Fortunately, online heavy equipment auctions provide an opportunity to reach buyers outside of an owner’s region. By doing so, owners can reach buyers who may be willing to pay more. Thus, even in the middle of winter in Canada, a seller can connect with a buyer in a warmer climate or a faster growing economy to generate a better price.

While fleet owners often write off equipment that is no longer functioning or is operating at reduced performance levels, it’s important to remember that everything has a value. Not all buyers are interested in machines in perfect condition, as this can drive the purchase price higher. In fact, some purchase equipment just for the parts, attachments or as rebuilds. Today, online auctions provide a variety of equipment in different conditions. This draws in a diverse audience of buyers and allows fleet managers to capitalize on demand for any and all equipment.

2. Upcoming pipeline of projects If an organization anticipates a steady flow of future business, it makes sense to hold onto equipment. However, if there are few upcoming projects, it is recommended that owners assess which types of equipment are not being used on a regular basis. It may make sense to keep equipment such as excavators, crawler tractors and compactors in the fleet as this common core equipment can be utilized for a variety of work. However, selling specialty items and older underutilized core equipment at auction may be beneficial to the business. The funds can be used by the business to purchase newer, more reliable equipment or specific specialty equipment for the upcoming work.

3. Cash profit Sometimes, an organization will find itself in need of some quick cash.

As banks become increas-

May 2014 ingly strict about lending, businesses are forced to prove that they are good credit risks. Keeping idle equipment lying around makes a business less liquid. To demonstrate liquidity, companies can sell old equipment to get cash rather than having money tied up in assets.

This can greatly improve a company’s balance sheet.

Selling idle equipment also allows organizations to reinvest the profit into equipment that will be more suitable for the season and/or their current list of business projects.

In fact, turning inventory over can sometimes give an organization more space to expand the types of projects they take on by purchasing specialty equipment or additional core equipment. The profit made from selling idle equipment can also be used in other areas of the business, such as managing taxes or payroll.

4. Storage requirements Idle equipment requires appropriate storage in order to protect machines from harsh weather, vandalism and theft. Owners should regularly review current inventory so that they can determine which equipment is taking up the most space or requires the largest storage investment.

If large or costly items are not used on a regular basis, it may be beneficial to sell them at auction.

5. Maintenance requirements When equipment is not regularly maintained, parts or attachments can become worn and seize up. Tires may lose traction and low fluid levels can result in damage. The older equipment gets, the more attention and maintenance it will likely require. Additionally, when colder months arrive, fleet managers may have to move equipment indoors, winterize the systems and periodically run the machines to keep them in satisfactory working order.

Owners have to decide if it makes sense to repair the equipment over time or if it is more cost effective to sell it and replace it with a more reliable machine.

Owners should assess the expected maintenance costs of each machine, especially if items aren’t being used for extended periContinued on page 9

Hitachi introduces New rigidFrame Haul Truck Product line Construction professionals from across the world got their first look at the updates to the Hitachi rigidframe haul truck line March 4 – 8, 2014 at Hitachi booth during the CONEXPOCON/AGG trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Hitachi introduced the latest version of the EH1100 rigid dump truck, the EH1100-5, at the show.

This latest version of the EH1100 includes improvements to the operator environment, increased machine serviceability, increased payload, more remote monitoring capability, to name a few, plus many additional features to satisfy our range of customer requirements globally.

In addition, Hitachi had on display its focused line of equipment – from compact excavators through production-class excavators. These include: • ZX50U-5 – this nimble and powerful compact excavator is built to the same high standards as Hitachi’s larger excavators and is armed with high productivity, multifunction operations, smooth hydraulics and easy maintenance.

• ZX135US-5 – With a tight tail-swing radius, this reduced tail swing excavator is perfect for working very close to obstacles.

• ZX210LC-5 – Loaded with numerous custom-

er-driven enhancements, this utility class excavator delivers superior productivity, durability, smoothness, and fuel efficiency, while keeping operating costs low.

• ZX470-5 – greater horsepower, combined with optimized hydraulics for bigger arm- and bucketdigging forces give this production-class excavator the power needed to deliver superior productivity.

• EX1200-6 – The EX12006 is Hitachi’s newest 120-ton excavator that continues the rock-solid reputation established by our highly popular EX1100 models.

“Hitachi doesn’t try to be a one-stop-shop, and we’re not a manufacturer of every piece of equipment for every site in the Americas. We prefer to do one thing better than anyone and refuse to spread ourselves too thin, trying to be everything to everybody,” said Craig LaMarque, Division Manager, Hitachi Construction and Mining.

“By applying our legacy of advanced technology to a focused line of excavators and shovels, we are able to deliver reliable, productive, efficient and smoothoperating equipment.”

ods of time or if they are at the end of their life.

After fleet managers have consulted trusted equipment experts and weighed each of the above points, they may find that selling their used equipment is the best course of action. Partnering with a trusted online marketplace to assist in the disposal of their equipment will ensure a quick and smooth process. Sellers save money because they don’t have to transport equipment to an auction yard. Transportation costs can be considerable, especially if equipment has to travel a great

distance to the physical auction site or if it is damaged and requires special transport.

Online auctions also provide faster time to cash when compared to traditional physical auctions, especially when they occur

on a weekly basis. Equipment can be listed and sold in a timely and cost effective manner, which can be a huge help to any organization.

New Cat MH3037 Wheeled Material Handler Features Advanced Power Train The new Cat MH3037 is the third member of the new wheeled material handler line that Caterpillar is introducing in the greaterthan-25-ton size class. The new Cat material handlers are purpose-built to work productively and durably in industrial, scrap recycling, millyard and waterway applications, while affording maximum protection and convenience for the operator. A patented “ground entry and exit” with a step-in cab that lowers to the front or the side of the machine enhances convenience and safety for operators and service personnel.

The MH3037 has an operating weight of 82,900 pounds (37 600 kg) and is powered by the Cat ACERT C7 engine featuring an electronically controlled, mechanically actuated, unit-injector fuel system that uses multiple-injection fuel delivery for optimum power and economy in all

operating situations. The MH3037 configuration is rated at 225 horsepower (168 kW).

High strength structural steel and advanced welding techniques ensure structural integrity. A powerful hydraulic system provides rapid response with efficiency, and new serviceability features simplify maintenance. These design elements combine to provide low-cost operation and maximum value for MH3037 owners.

Structures and hydraulics Major structures use continuous welds that incorporate extensive chamfering and beveling to reduce stress concentration.

Booms and sticks are constructed from single-piece top and side plates to eliminate the need for seams and internal baffles. The upper frame is designed specifically to dissipate loads transferred through

the front linkage and counterweight, and the lower frame has a unique, tapered design to evenly distribute loads and reduces stress. Oversized pins and bushings strengthen pivot points. In addition, extensive finite element analysis and strain-gauge testing throughout the design process help ensure long-term durability. Along with a 29-ft (8.8-m) boom, the MH3037 can be equipped with a short 19 ft 8 in. (6 m) or long 23 ft 6 in. (7.2 m) front configuration to best fit the application.

Using a closed-centre, one-pump, load-sensing implement hydraulic system with electro-hydraulic pilot control, the hydraulic pump generates only as much oil flow and pressure as required for the application, yielding powerful, rapid response and fuel-saving efficiency. To further enhance overall hydraulic power and effi-

ciency, the machine regenerates boom-down oil flow, reducing the volume of oil the pump must produce.

Reflecting the precise hydraulic design, the MH3037 divides hydraulic functions between the upper and lower main control valves, with the upper valve managing the boom, stick, work tools, cab riser and cooling circuits, and the lower valve controlling travel, steering and outriggers. This provides optimal flow management to allow multiple machine functions to operate at the same time without compromising performance. An independent, closed-loop swing system maintains swing priority at all times.

The hydraulic oil cooler, air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC), and engine radiator are all mounted side-byside to reduce clogging caused by airborne debris and to provide better access for cleaning when necessary. Working with an auto-reversing fan, the cooling system ensures optimum operating temperatures between 140 and 160F (60 to 71C) are maintained—which protects oil quality, extends component life and promotes

optimum machine performance.

The power train of the MH3037 incorporates limited-slip differentials on both the front and rear axles to provide true allwheel-drive performance.

A variable displacement hydraulic motor coupled with a two-speed transmission provides highand low-speed travel with creeper speed capability for excellent control due to the infinitely variable travel speed. An oscillating rear axle with oscillation lock provides the capability to work on rough, uneven terrain while maintaining the stability to work free on wheels without outriggers deployed.

Operator safety and convenience The hydraulic cab-riser system features patented “ground entry and exit” with a step-in cab, enhancing safety for operators and service personnel. Cab height is adjustable up to an eye level of 18 feet (5.5 m). On the MH3037, raise time from ground level to maximum height is approximately 8 seconds; lowering time from maximum height to ground level is 10 seconds. Adjustable sen-

May 2014 sors control the height of the cab above the ground.

Manual safety override valves in the cab and at ground level enable the cab to be lowered safely in the event of engine power loss.

This allows the operator to exit the cab safely.

The MH3037 can be equipped with an optional impact-absorbing Falling Objects Guarding System (FOGS). This includes a top guard to protect the operator from falling debris and a front guard to protect from flying debris in the work area. An adjustable limiter prevents work tool contact with the cab, and load-holding valves on hydraulic cylinders prevent sudden uncontrolled drop of the boom, stick, cab or outriggers in the event of a failed hydraulic hose.

Images from the standard rearview camera are displayed via a high-definition color monitor. A separate monitor displays operating parameters, starting fluid level, machine warnings and activated work functions, which are conveniently controlled with the joysticks. The system allows operators to set functions according to Continued on page 11

preference and provides maintenance reminders, diagnostic capabilities and out-of-specification alerts.

Joystick controls in lieu of a steering wheel enable operators to experience smoother, faster produc-

tion and allow better sight lines to the work area. The cab includes a polycarbonate skylight, removable panes and a rear window that serves as an emergency exit.

Serviceability and work tools

Durable fiberglass gullwing panels supported by gas-filled cylinders provide ready access to the routine maintenance points in spacious, lighted compartments. Service panels are located on the top, left and right side of the machine.

Terex Debuts New FD5000 “Great Lakes” Mixer Truck The new Terex FD5000 “Great Lakes” front discharge mixer truck, which was on display at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014, March 4-8 in Las Vegas, Nev., is the first Terex mixer truck powered by a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engine. The new 12-liter Cummins ISX12G engine is available in 350, 385 and 400-hp (261, 287 and 298 kW) packages with respective torque settings of 1,450, 1350 and 1450 ft lb (1965, 1830 and 1965 Nm), delivering comparable performance to diesel power package options for Terex mixer trucks.

“Previous 9-liter engines available on the market didn’t provide the power or torque required for our customers and their applications,” says Dave Rinas, Director of Sales and Marketing for Terex Construction.

“The 12-liter engines deliver the required performance and a substantial fuel cost savings benefit when compared to diesel engines. We already have several customer orders for the CNG trucks.”

Terex CNG trucks feature an integrated design approach, and the CNG engines are available for the entire line of standard

and federal bridge formula front discharge mixers – from three to seven axles. The CNG engines can also be ordered as part of the Terex glider truck program. “Everything below the frame rail and forward of the rear pedestal is the same as on our diesel mixer trucks,” says Mike Johnson, Design Engineer for Terex. “The CNG system eliminates much of the complexity that goes along with 2013 EPAcompliant engines, while still reducing hydrocarbon emissions.”

The Terex design mounts one, 26 x 80-in (66 x 203 cm) Type-4 CNG tank to each side of the rear frame, providing a 75 diesel equivalent gallon (284 liter) capacity. The design delivers a lower center of gravity compared to other installations; reduces the number of required tanks, hoses and tank safety systems by 50%; and places all tank safety shut-off valves, fill ports and service items at ground level. This unique mounting approach features a spherical bearing design that allows for tank length and diameter expansion/contraction when

filling and compensates for frame flexing when driving in off-road conditions, unlike the rigid strap-mount of competitive tank designs.

The two-tank Terex CNG configuration reduces weight by up to 25% over other designs, which helps to improve payload capabilities. Up to 50% of internal steel was removed from the new engine cowling for CNG trucks – further reducing truck weight to improve payload capacity – while the design’s new ribs and contours add strength and style for this new integrated Terex look. Weight distribution between axles of CNG and traditional diesel-fuelled mixer trucks are virtually identical, so reconfiguration of truck design to compensate for weight distribution is not necessary.

The Terex FD5000 “Great Lakes” CNG front discharge mixer enjoys the same design enhancements recently introduced on their diesel-powered truck counterparts. The steering system takes advantage of the front axle’s full wheel cut capability, reducing turn radius by

Handrails and anti-slip surfaces help technicians perform their work safely and efficiently.

Greaseless bearings in the cab riser linkage reduce maintenance, and upper auto-lube sends grease based on runtime. The machine is set at the factory to lubricate grease points every 15 minutes of use. The lower is manually lubricated from a central grease point located behind the lower control valve on the carbody frame.

The MH3037 comes equipped with PL522 Cat Product Link to provide timely, useful information about machine status and utilization. The information enables managers to make timely, fact-based decisions about equipment assets.

The MH3037 can handle a variety of work tools. up to 25% over previous designs. The air system features a 127 part-count reduction, resulting in fewer connections for less air leakage potential.

The lift axles are now controlled by a single Lift Axle Control Module (LACM), which replaces four valves per axle, improving system servicing ease.

Inside the cab, taller drivers will benefit from an additional 8.5 in (21.6 cm) of floor space. A redesigned dashboard features logical positioning of gauges, including a traditional style fuel gauge, for improved operating efficiency.

Brighter LED cabin lighting with door entry switch makes it easier to enter/exit the cab. Rear vents and louvers help to improve cab heating and make it easier to close the door. Accessing the cab is now easier, thanks to the stair rail handle and flexible hanging third step.

The Terex FD5000 CNG front discharge mixer truck is powered by the 400 hp (298 kW), 1450 ft lb (1,965 Nm) CNG engine. It has an 11 yd3 (8.4 m3) mixer drum that requires no nose cone and excels in discharging low-slump concrete. Its drum shell is constructed with AR400 steel, and 0.25 in (0.64 cm) thick AR230 steel fins and flights in the mixing area improve wear resistance. Bolt-on trunnion rollers provide easier adjustment and simplified servicing. b

The machine features medium-pressure flow from a separate valve for tool rotation and a high-pressure circuit from the main pump to operate the open/ close functions of typical tools, such as orange-peel grapples, clamshells and log grapples. A separate

pump is used to provide hydraulic power to operate a generator for an optional scrap magnet. The generator features a patented Cat solid-state magnet controller that eliminates typical maintenance issues and is supported and warranted through Cat dealers. b

Is Fracking Our Future?

In Part 2 of our look at hydraulic fracturing, more commonly referred to as hydro-fracturing or the industry jargon term fracking, in the shale gas industry we will take a look at the pros and cons of the practice. The good, the bad and the ugly. In our March 2014 issue, we provided an overview of what hydraulic fracturing is, how it is done and why. By Ronald Mullins

B

y way of a quick recap, hydraulic fracturing or fracking in the gas and oil industry involves the pumping, at very high pressure, of thousands of gallons of a liquid, usually water along with a mix of silica sand and/or resincoated sand, and/or man-

made ceramics and a cocktail mix of other chemicals, down a gas or oil wellbore.

This pressurized mixture breaks up or fractures the surrounding shale or mudstone rock formations creating fissures or cracks, which enables the release of the trapped gas. This

gas is then captured within the well bore and brought to the surface along with a percentage of the fracking liquid. Recently, other forms of fracking have been attempted but hydraulic fracturing is still the most widely used.

The Good On the pro or good side of the debate, hydraulic fracturing has been safety used by the industry to stimulate oil and gas well production in North American conventional reservoirs for more than 60 years. It has also been successfully

used in other applications such as water wells.

Shale gas is emerging as the new low-cost source of natural gas in North America and is currently one of the fastest growing energy sources in the US. In the year 2000, shale gas represented one percent of the natural gas supplies in the USA. Today, that number is 30 percent and rising rapidly with more than 40,000 producing wells as state after state have approved hydro-fracking as a means of shale gas extraction.1 Large-scale commercial production of shale gas is still being developed in Canada. There are a number of companies that are exploring for and developing shale gas resources in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes with the largest concentration lying within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, which extends from northeastern British Columbia to southwest Manitoba.

Additionally, significant deposits of natural gas trapped in coal and shale seams have been identified in Eastern and Western Europe, Australia, China, South Africa and the cone of South America.2 The supporters of the development of shale gas extraction at both local, regional and global levels argue that shale gas will help ensure that economically viable supplies of natural gas are available to the growing natural gas market for decades to come. It is clear that huge benefits, both economic and environmental, are to be had as a result of shale gas extraction through the use of hydro-fracking. The taxation benefits to all levels of government also cannot be overlooked when assessing the industry.

Experts, including some environmental groups, are quick to point out that hydro-fracking is not only economically viable but is safe for humans, animals and the environment. For example, regulation of the Canadian oil and gas sector is designed to protect drinking water and water quality in our lakes and streams.

The specific regulations vary between jurisdictions but in all cases, Canadian natural gas production always isolates and protects drinking water (groundwater) from natural gas operations.3 In the United States, the

May 2014 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working closely with states and other key stakeholders to help ensure that natural gas extraction does not come at the expense of public health and the environment. The Agency’s focus and obligations under the law are to provide oversight, guidance and, where appropriate, rule making that achieves the best possible protections for air, water and land.4 Regulation in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America is somewhat different. In these regions mineral rights often belong to the governments of most of the countries, making effective coordinated regulations somewhat more laborious.

Without fracking, it appears to be difficult if not impossible to get this shale trapped natural gas out of the ground.

The Bad Those opposed to hydraulic fracturing for the harvest or capture of natural gas and oil are very vocal and, at first glance appear to have a strong case.

To fracture, or open up the shale’s pores, can take between one million and as much as twenty million gallons of highly pressurized fracking fluid made of water, chemicals and sand.

Much of this water is collected from ground water wells, aquifers and surface water, potentially taking life-giving water resources from people, animals and agriculture. The water used for gas and oil production is considered to be consumed water, since it comes into contact with hydrocarbons and other contaminants and cannot be returned to the environment without additional treatment. Increasingly, companies are being forced to treat the fluids used for fracturing and recycle them. If the fluid is not recycled, it is recovered and disposed of as required by governmental regulations.8 A percentage of the fracking fluid is indeed returned to the surface but a greater percentage is left underground. Once this cocktail mix of fluid is returned to the surface, analysis has shown that it may contain up to 600 chemicals and naturally occurring hazardous materials. These could include known carContinued on page 13

cinogens and toxins such as lead, uranium, mercury, ethylene glycol, radium, methanol, hydrochloric acid and formaldehyde to name just a few. In many regions there often are no facilities for storing or disposing of this fracking fluid. So it is argued that if this post fracking analysis is accurate, a percentage of this same mix is left underground causing many people to be worried about these chemicals leaching into their drinking water.

Additionally, to get this job done requires a huge influx of people and large, heavy equipment, both of which come with their own set of problems and concerns.

It is estimated that it can take up to 400 tanker trucks to carry water and supplies to and from the well site. This truck traffic puts additional harmful exhaust gasses into the atmosphere and of course, more potential road-damaging traffic to contended with.

Those opposed to the process also point to the large land-use footprint around each drilling/fracking location, the construction of additional access roads and of course pipelines.

Climate change is an-

other risk. Methane, a much stronger greenhouse gas than carbon diox-ide, is emitted into the atmosphere during the extraction process.

Some regions in the USA, Britain and Spain have also experienced earthquakes associated with the disposal of fracking waste underground.5,6 These concerns are not overlooked by governments at all levels as hydraulic fracturing for shale gas has been banned in over 200 communities across the US as well as in France and Bulgaria.7 It is also under tight government scrutiny in many other regions, including Australia.

Ontario is now the first jurisdiction in North America to fully eliminate coal as a source of electricity generation. The Thunder Bay Generating Station, Ontario’s last remaining coalfired facility, has burned its last supply of coal.

Operated by Ontario Power Generation, Thunder Bay Generating Station was the oldest coal-fired station in the province. The plant is scheduled to be converted to burn advanced biomass, a renewable fuel source. The province has replaced coal generation with a mix of emission-free electricity sources like nuclear, waterpower, wind and solar, along with lower-emission electricity sources like natural gas and biomass.

Ontario has fulfilled its commitment to end coal generation in advance of its target of the end of 2014. A

spray bars and a HMI control system, which have been delivering efficient, productive performance for current owners. In addition, the level of serviceability within the Aggresand wash plant range is unrivalled within the industry with innovative features such as rolling chutes and rolling centrifugal pumps. TWS has also included sensors throughout the machine providing the operator with information on water pressure, cyclone feed pressure, and electrical power consumption, making the operation and management of the machine highly efficient.

Director of TWS, Sean Loughran, commented, “The market has really embraced the Aggresand wash plant concept with exceptional demand at the moment around the world.

To date, TWS has installed multiple Aggresand 165 wash plants in Ireland, UK, parts of Eastern Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Austria. Customers are also finding it easier to secure planning and finance for these modular plants as opposed to traditional static set ups. We are constantly looking at innovative ways to further enhance and develop our existing products so we can continue to meet the individual needs of our customers.”

Quarry owner, Humphrey Dowling, proud owner of the first ever Aggresand wash plant commented, “The throughput currently being achieved on the plant is excellent and the quality of the aggregates and sands being produced is very impressive. The high performance two deck vibrating grid allows us to feed material directly from the face

May 2014

of the quarry, at 200mm, large material is scalped off while the minus 50mm material goes straight into the wash plant. This eliminates the need for expensive prescreening of the feed material.”

New High Attrition Scrubbing The second new innovative product to be unveiled at Hillhead 2014 is the new Aggrescrub 150 (up to 150tph) plant, particularly suited to the C&D recycling market. Key benefits for customers include the improved wear characteristics, reduced costs, and the ability to effectively scrub aggregates and float out clays/silts/lights (wood/ plastics) on one chassis.

In addition, there are also a number of paddle options available depending on customers’ needs, including the traditional hard wearing HARDOX blades in 15 and 30mm variances as well as a new high manganese steel option.

Terex Materials Processing (Powerscreen and Terex Finlay) has a long history in the manufacture of logwashers and the experience gained in the field has resulted in what is truly a 21st century aggregate scrubbing plant.

It also shares many of the innovative features of the Aggresand range including modular design, quick and easy set-up, pre-plumed pipework, pre-wired electrics, a HMI control panel and a web frame chassis design.

The hull acts as a scrubber and also as a water bath. The Terex Aggrescrub 150 model is fitted with a newly orientated DW062 (6’x2’) trash dewatering screen which dewaters any floated off trash including plastics and organics. The scrubbed ag-

gregate is rinsed and sized on a DW125-2D (12’x5’) two deck screen, to produce three clean aggregates for stock piling. Access and serviceability on the Aggrescrub plant is second to none with full galvanized walkway access around the entire plant.

Seamless Integration Another unique benefit to customers is the ability of the Terex Aggresand wash plant and Terex Aggrescrub 150 plant to combine to provide the perfect solution for customers dealing with recycling applications as well as pit owners with high agglomerations of clay. The innovative, intelligent and user-friendly control system on both plants allows full integration between the two systems through the connection of a single plugand-play cable. Through this pioneering control system, seamless communication allows the plants to work as a single entity with all interlocks including start-up and shutdown sequences automatically synchronizing, which further minimizes the amount of on-site installation & commissioning required.

Indeed the Aggresand and Aggrescrub combination is set to become the benchmark in modular wash recycling plants for years to come.

Hillhead will provide the first opportunity for customers to see firsthand these innovative washing solutions. A team of skilled engineers, applications and sales technicians will be there to provide expert advice and guidance with your specific requirements.

New Cat MD5150C Track Drill Builds On MD5150

Caterpillar announces the new MD5150C Track Drill, the first of the C Series drills, which feature Cat components—proven reliable and available from local Cat dealers who also service the drills. The MD5150C delivers top-of-class power and high airflow for fast, efficient drilling of holes from 4 inches (101.6 mm) to 6 inches (152 mm) in diameter. The MD5150C offers a choice of three different rock drills, patented carousel rod changer, ergonomic cab and many other features that boost productivity and reduce operating costs.

Compared to the MD5125, which the MD5150C will replace, the new drill has 18 percent more power, a compressor that can deliver 33 percent more air volume and 40 percent more air pressure, 19 percent faster tram speed and 40 percent greater ground clearance.

Reduce costs with reliable rock drill High reliability, long life and low ownership costs characterize the MD5150C rock drill. With less than half as many moving parts as competitive rock drills, it is a simple, reliable design that offers dependable performance and exceptional durability. Caterpillar is the only manufacturer offering rock drills designed to be serviced on site—to reduce downtime and control costs. Service doesn’t require a clean room, and there’s no need to incur freight costs to ship the rock drill to the OEM for maintenance or to keep a spare rock drill in stock to accommodate

maintenance downtime.

The rock drill also features an automated lube system, which eliminates the need to stop the machine for manual greasing every two hours. Three different rock drill choices enable matching the selection to the application to achieve the highest production rate. The standard rock drill on the MD5150C is the HPR5128, which uses 51-mm drill steel. Also available are the HPR6832 Rock Drill, which can use 68-mm speed rod, and the HPR6030 designed for 60mm drill steel.

Innovative carousel rod changer slashes setup time The MD5150C dramatically reduces setup time, thanks to its innovative carousel rod changer.

The rod changer and feed assembly have seven patents pending. The system holds six rods and accommodates two lengths and multiple diameters of drill steel. Powerful dual-rod grippers and a unique gate design let the rod and gate move simultaneously, reducing cycle time. The rod changer is supported by a sturdy feed and heavyduty 9-ft (2.7-m) boom that extends to 11 ft (3.3 m) for larger pattern coverage with fewer setups.

Because the carousel rod changer weighs less and holds more rods than linear models, the boom extension can reach farther and drill deeper while maintaining stability.

Holes can be drilled within 24 inches (610 mm) of the highwall, which is 50 percent closer than with a linear rod changer.

Cut cycle time with high power and big air

The MD5150C delivers exceptional power and airflow for faster, more efficient drilling in hard rock applications. The heart of the power group is the Cat C11 Engine rated at 287 kW (385 hp) at 1,800 rpm.

Designed for high performance and excellent fuel efficiency, the engine meets US Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA emissions standards. The high-horsepower engine works as a system with a high-capacity air compressor to optimize air flow. An oversized, high-efficiency cooling system further improves performance and life.

Cab enhances safety and productivity The cab on the MD5150C is designed to enhance safety and productivity. It is ROPS/ FOPS-certified and provides numerous shutdown controls accessible from the ground. Large windows, streamlined front structures and a skylight enhance visibility, as do well-placed mirrors and a high-resolution camera.

The front window provides an emergency exit.

To boost operator comfort and productivity, the cab features automatic climate control, excellent ventilation, a fully adjustable seat, ergonomic controls and switches, and low sound levels (approximately 80 decibels).

To further improve operator productivity, the machine is equipped with a smart drill monitoring system that tracks changes in rock formation and automatically adjusts impact and feed pressure based on hardness of the rock.

Anti-jam, anti-plunge and anti-plug capabilities keep the track drill working efficiently and extend drill string life.

Maximize uptime with quick maintenance Service technicians benefit from the simple component layout and convenient service access.

A walk-in service station provides easy access to major service points for the engine, compressor, air conditioner, hydraulic valves and more. A boom-

mounted camera provides a view of the front of the drill while working inside the service center.

In addition to its serviceable design, the new track drill leverages exclusive Caterpillar technologies that maximize uptime. Cat Electronic Technician speeds the troubleshooting process, improving repair accuracy and reducing downtime.

Cat Product Link allows remote monitoring of machine location, service meter hours, fuel usage and other critical factors, providing managers the information they need to optimize utilization and reduce costs.

Cat dealers support the new MD5150C with bestin-class parts availability, quality repairs and equipment management expertise that helps miners and contractors meet aggressive production goals at the lowest cost per ton.

For more information about how the new Cat MD5150C Track Drill can improve productivity and drive down operating costs, customers should contact a local Cat dealer or visit mining.cat.com. b
