J D Neuhaus Shines Spotlight On Stainless Steel Air Hoist Materials handling specialists J D Neuhaus (JDN) are set to present their concept study of a new stainless steel air hoist at the CeMAT 2016 international exhibition. This is the world’s leading trade fair for supply chain management and intralogistics, which takes place in Hannover, Germany on 31 May to 3 June. Exhibiting as part of the Cranes Pavilion in Hall 27 (Stand D68), the company will also be promoting its class-leading service capabilities, giving visitors the opportunity to learn about JDN’s industry-proven project planning and maintenance expertise.

Manufactured under the company’s mantra ‘engineered for extremes’, thousands of JDN pneumatic and hydraulic hoists and crane systems are in service worldwide, with many operating in harsh conditions such as those found on oil and gas platforms, or in mines or foundries.

Underwater environments

and extreme temperatures (as low as -45°C) are also familiar territories for JDN products, which are renowned for their operational reliability under even the most adverse conditions.

Of course, some indoor applications can be just as testing as external ones, particularly when it comes to equipment that needs to operate in extremely clean and hygienic environments. Indeed, growing demand in this area is what prompted JDN to undertake its conceptual study of a stainless steel air hoist, the results of which will be presented to visitors at CeMAT 2016.

There are clear target markets for stainless steel air hoists, such as the food and beverage sector, for example, as well applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, medical and aerospace industries. Visitors to the stand at CeMAT 2016 will see that JDN’s detailed study assesses the benefits

of using compressed air as a method of operation in combination with stainless steel as the hoist’s construction material. Resistance to corrosion and high levels of humidity will therefore be assured, while the products will also be easy to clean and disinfect, even using high-pressure cleaning equipment.

Cleanroom-based users in the optical and semiconductor industries would also benefit from the use of a stainless steel air hoist.

This is because expelled air is extracted, while a bellows is deployed to protect the chain.

The hoists could also be put to work in environments at risk of explosion.

The fact that the hoist uses compressed air as the driving media means it is explosion-protected (ATEX), making it suitable for dangerous atmospheres and even where organically flammable chemicals are in use.

Stand visitors will also see JDN Service present its extensive capabilities in project planning for maintenance and overhaul work. Among the initiatives are special spare parts Continued on page 8

kits and general overhaul kits that have been purpose-designed by the JDN Service team to provide customers with a simplified process for ordering spares.

Further aspects of the JDN Service Program include training courses and hoist rental options. Rental is a popular choice if there is a short term demand for

hoists of any capacity.

Further highlights of the JDN display at CeMAT 2016 will include examples of the company’s standard air hoists, such as the best-selling Profi and Mini ranges. The Profi series is designed for heavy-duty industrial applications up to 100 metric tons load capacity. Offering 65 or 85 psi air pressure, various explosion

protection classifications are available. Profi hoists feature sensitive, infinitely variable speed control for the precise positioning of loads, as well as easy operation, low maintenance requirements and sound absorption.

In contrast, the JDN Mini range widens the range of application in the light duty sector as a handy, flexible

and universally deployable air hoist. The ideal tool for most light engineering workshops, the Mini series offers a selection of load capacities between 275 and 2160 lbs. Designed as a cost effective alternative to hoists that use other driving media, lifting heights of 3, 5 and 8m are available.

JDN’s friendly team of experts will be on hand throughout CeMAT 2016 ready to discuss any specific applications, regardless of the complexities, and provide an overview of the optimum solutions available.

With over 200 employees across the group, J D Neuhaus GmbH & Co. manufactures pneumatically and hydraulicallyoperated hoists and crane systems up to 115 metric ton capacity from its stateof-the-art facility in Witten, Germany. This globally unique specialization

means that J D Neuhaus has set the quality standard for the market, a move that has seen the company become the established global leader in its technology field with customers in more than 90 countries worldwide.

Resilience and reliability are the key product differentiators, thanks largely to their explosive protection rating which makes them ideal for use even in the most challenging of operating environments. Extreme applications include oil and gas exploration in arctic temperatures as low as 45°C, along with underwater tasks such as ship hull repairs, and plenty of others in demanding sectors like mining, the chemical industry, heavy plant construction and many areas of logistics.

Brand New Terex AC 700 All Terrain Crane A compact design and powerful performance characteristics – this is the combination that makes the comprehensive AC all terrain crane series by Terex the best choice when it comes to work sites with limited space. This was clearly the case when Wiesbauer GmbH & Co. KG erected a tower crane at a work site in the Swabian town of Kornwestheim, a project for which the company used its brand new Terex AC 700 crane in order to take advantage of precisely these assets. The BietigheimBissingen-based crane service provider carried out the project on behalf of the Mörfelden-Walldorf branch office of construction company Trinac GmbH, which is building a new office building for the Wüstenrot bank in Kornwestheim.

The decision to use the latest acquisition in Wiesbauer’s fleet for

the project was not only based on the AC 700 crane’s technical characteristics, but also on logistical considerations: “We had the crane stationed at our headquarters in Bietigheim-Bissingen precisely at the right time, and BietigheimBissingen is only an hour away from the work site in Kornwestheim,” explains General Manager Thomas Wiesbauer, who manages the company together with his brother Jochen. This meant that traveling to the site with the AC 700 crane was relatively easy, requiring only the appropriate travel permit and what in Germany is referred to as a “BF-3 third-generation escort vehicle.” In addition, the unit was accompanied by an assist crane and four trucks.

Setup time: five hours Just like the trip, setting up the AC 700 crane at the work site took a

short time: The sevenperson Wiesbauer team, assisted by two Trinac employees, required only five hours to do so despite the tight space conditions. “Like every other Terex crane, this unit was clearly designed with ease of assembly in mind, which is crucial to our ability to deliver when it comes to short assembly and disassembly times. In addition, this ease of assembly also plays an important role in the outstanding cost effectiveness of the model, as it makes us more competitive,” points out Jochen Wiesbauer, who definitely speaks from experience – after all, the AC 700 crane he is talking about is the fifth crane in the series in his company already.

Hook height: 70 meters In order to reach the lifting height of up to 70 meters required to erect the tower crane, the Wiesbauer assembly technicians configured the Terex AC 700 crane with an LF main boom extension measuring 26.40 meters, an SSL system with a 30° offset, and 100 tonnes of Continued on page 10

counterweight. Once set up this way, the AC 700 crane was perfectly prepared to lift all of the tower crane’s components.

These components included not only a large number of relatively lightweight and compact mast sections, but also significantly more unwieldy elements, such as the slewing unit, the two-piece jib, and the counter jib.

For example, the lift for the largest load, i.e., the 20.5-tonne slewing unit, required a hook height of 70 meters and a radius of 24 meters. Meanwhile, jib unit 1 was slightly less heavy at exactly 20 tonnes. However, its overall length of 40 meters made it much more difficult to handle, requiring it to be perfectly balanced.

The lift for this unit required a hook height of 70 meters as well. In contrast, the hook height when lifting jib section 2 was slightly lower at 66 meters. And although this 8.5-tonne component was considerably lighter than the first jib section, it was also longer at 45 meters. In addition, the corresponding lift was per-

formed with a maximum radius of up to 40 meters.

“When lifting loads with these types of dimensions, it’s not enough to just rely on the crane operator’s expert touch. You also need a crane with extraordinary precision.

And with its easy-to-use and tremendously responsive controls, the AC 700 proved to be the perfect machine for the job,” reports crane operator Günther Mühleck.

Project duration: five days This was one of the important advantages that enabled the Wiesbauer team to complete the job on schedule within the required time frame of five days, which included setting up and disassembling the AC 700 crane. “Of course, we’d already assumed that we wouldn’t be running into any problems – after all, we know exactly what the Terex cranes in this series are capable of,” summarizes Thomas Wiesbauer, who is more than satisfied with the debut of his company’s latest acquisition. b Source: Terex

New CHS Fertilizer Terminal Hits Its Throughput Numbers When Ruben James arrived in Melbourne, KY in the summer of 2013, he had a number in mind: 500.

CHS, the farmer-owned agribusiness cooperative, had named James to set up a barge terminal at mile 457 on the Ohio River, near Cincinnati. The company had purchased the terminal to supply the distribution facility for CHS Crop Nutrients Division; receiving granular fertilizers from all over the world, the 27,000-ton dry storage facility on the site trucks crop inputs to farms throughout America’s eastern Corn Belt region.

As Terminal Manager, James is responsible for offloading the material and moving it into storage by conveyor as cost-effectively as possible. As he set out to equip the terminal, he told Ben Sutkamp at Murphy Tractor that his goal was 500 tons per hour. Sutkamp told him, “I have a machine that can do that for you.”

By mid-August, James’ new electric-drive SENNEBOGEN 860 R-HD material handler was unload-

ing its first barge.

The big green machine quickly showed that it would keep pace with the terminal’s new conveyor system. Meeting his throughput goal, James is also pleased with the SENNEBOGEN’s cost to operate. He was already convinced he wanted an electric-drive machine before he first contacted Murphy Tractor, the regional dealer for SENNEBOGEN. “The previous facility here also had electric power to operate its crane. Electric power keeps fuel away from the river and it’s more costefficient. Environmentally and economically, it’s a win/win.”

SENNEBOGEN was also a name that James knew well from his previous work at a steel mill.

“The operating environment in a stainless steel plant is pretty brutal, and the SENNEBOGEN equipment stood up to it very well. From that experience, I knew what I was dealing with when Ben told me he represents SENNEBOGEN in this area.”

James reports that Sut-

May 2016 there’s no tracks lifting up off the ground, you’re really a lot more comfortable while you’re up in the air in the cab.”

James notes that, while providing the operator with a clear view to the material he is unloading, the elevating cab also adds a safety factor to the terminal.

“You’ll have a crew down on the barge or a guy doing the rig-up for the skid steer off to the side, but in the elevated cab, you’re up above and able to see everything. The cameras are excellent; you don’t have a blind spot around you at all.”

Before he signed off on the purchase of the 860, James also discussed his requirement with another vendor. He says he preferred the SENNEBOGEN line-up from the outset because “…it’s a true material handler, not a converted excavator.”

Asked what advice he would have for anyone else considering SENNEBOGEN for a new barge facility, James’s response was simple: “Pull the trigger!” b

kamp and the SENNEBOGEN Regional Sales Manager visited the terminal on several occasions as his plans were developing. “I explained the set up here and what we’re trying to do. Both guys are excellent to work with, and very supportive. Anytime I’ve contacted them with a question or an issue, they’re on top of it.”

The SENNEBOGEN team recommended the 860 R-HD “D” models, an 180,000 lb. machine. The machine is equipped with a 59’ reach and fitted with a 5.5 yd. clamshell bucket. The operator station is SENNEBOGEN’s hydraulically elevating maXCab. Mounted on a crawler undercarriage, the machine sits level with the river on a barge with a crane mat.

“We have four smoothout ratchets tied to the Source: MS&S running gear, welded down to the barge,” James explains. “The crawler base gives us a better footprint. On top of that, the feeling of stability is phenomenal! When you reach down with a 5 ½ yard clam completely full of fertilizer and you’re really not rocking, and

Fed Budget Offers Support For LNG/ Electric Vehicles/Infrastructure Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s first budget tabled today is aimed tax cuts and programs for the “middle class”, battling climate change though green technology and carbon pricing, and boosting infrastructure for cities.

Below are some of the main highlights of the 2016 Budget as they could relate to the trucking industry, directly or indirectly: Infrastructure / Green Initiatives The government plans to invest more than $120 billion in total infrastructure, including transit funding and programs to combat GHG emissions, over 10 years in two phases.

Budget 2016 proposes to invest $5 billion over the next five years in infrastructure that “protects communities and supports Canada’s ongoing transition to a clean growth economy,” including investments in electric vehicle and alternative transportation fuel infrastructure.

The budget sets aside $62.5 million over two years, starting in 2016–17, to Natural Resources Canada to support the deployment of infrastructure for alternative transportation fuels, including charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and natural gas and hydrogen refueling stations. The government

GL AMOROUS?

not so much

says it will advance these objectives by working with provinces and territories, municipalities and the private sector.

“Early action is needed to support the transition to low-carbon transportation fuels, as vehicle choices made today will determine the mix of technologies on the road in 2030,” the budget stated.

The budget refers to tax support for clean vehicles, although only electric vehicles and natural gas facilities – not natural gas engines – are specifically mentioned. Budget 2016 proposes to expand eligibility for accelerated capital cost allowance (CCA) in electric vehicle charging and electrical energy storage. The budget also reiterates the CCA allowance currently available for certain liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities.

The language in the budget as it relates to electric and LNG did not specifically refer to commercial vehicles, although CTA is engaging in discussions with the federal government on how this funding can help support and expedite alternative, green power for commer-

cial vehicles into the market place.

The budget also proposes $2.9 billion over five years to support the development of a “Low Carbon Economy Fund.” Pricing carbon, states the budget, will be a key element to transitioning to a low carbon economy.

To budget also includes $75 million to support “municipalities’ front-line efforts” to address climate change, to be delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities as well as $125 million over the next two years to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to enhance the Green Municipal Fund.

These investments are aimed municipality-led projects to identify and implement GHG reduction opportunities and municipal green infrastructure projects. Again, CTA and the provincial trucking associations will be looking at how the trucking industry can participate.

There were no specific funding details in the budget for highways or bridge infrastructure, except to say that the government aims “to deliver fast, efficient trade corridors that allow Canadian exporters to benefit fully from international trade.” It notes “ambitious projects will be supported to reduce urban transportation congestion, improve and expand trade corridors, and reduce the carbon

footprint of the national energy system.”

Border In its pre-budget submissions, CTA frequently calls for funding and investment for initiatives that ensure the efficient movement of goods across the border.

This budget makes a general mention of border infrastructure support. It states: “Budget 2016 proposes to provide $3.4 billion over the next five years, on a cash basis, to maintain and upgrade federal infrastructure assets such as national parks, small craft harbours, federal airports and border infrastructure.”

CTA is hopeful that part of the border infrastructure funding will be allocated to RFID infrastructure.

Vehicle Technology / Manufacturing Budget 2016 proposes to provide $7.3 million over two years to increase inspection capacity and support the development of a regulatory framework for emerging vehicle technologies, such as automated vehicles. The budget also announces the elimination of tariffs on about a dozen manufacturing inputs, providing an estimated $9 million in tariff savings over the next five years to Canadian manufacturers in the consumer goods and transportation sectors. Moreover, the budget extends the Automotive Innovation Fund, which is currently scheduled to sunset at the end of 2017–18, through to

Odds & Ends • TDG RAIL SAFETY: $143 million over three years to sustain existing measures and support new and expanded activities to strengthen oversight and enforcement, and to enhance prevention and response capabilities related to rail safety and the transportation of dangerous goods.

• FERRY FLEET RENEWAL: Budget 2016 proposes to waive the 25 per cent tariff on ferries of all sizes imported after October 1, 2015. This will provide an estimated $118 million in duty savings over six years, allowing, the government adds, ferry operators to reinvest the savings in their fleet renewal plans, enhance ferry services and reduce fares for passengers and commercial users.

• SKILLS AND TRAINING: Budget 2016 proposes additional investments in skills training such as an additional $125 million in 2016–17 for the Labour Market Development Agreements, and an additional $50 million in 2016– 17 for the Canada Job Fund Agreements. Also, $85.4 million over five years to develop a new framework to support union-based apprenticeship training. b Source: CTA

Historic Joining Of Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway Construction The governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories are pleased to announce the joining of the north and south construction spreads of the Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway, the first public highway to Canada’s Arctic coast. The contractor has successfully joined the two construction spreads with a first layer of embankment material placed on April 7, 2016.

Geotextile fabric and additional earthworks to bring the embankment up to grade will be put in place by the end the month.

This key piece of transportation infrastructure is now concluding its third winter of construction.

Once complete, it will create economic growth in the Beaufort Delta region by providing all-weather highway access to Tuktoyaktuk, which is currently served only by ice road, barge, and air. This project is delivering numerous socio-economic opportunities in the region by employing

over 400 individuals at the peak of the construction season.

The scheduled opening to traffic is in the fall of 2017. The new highway will be the northern-most section of the envisioned Mackenzie Valley Highway that will connect Canada from coast-to-coast-tocoast. The highway will decrease the cost of living in Tuktoyaktuk by enabling goods to be transported year-round by road, increase opportunities for business development, reduce the cost of accessing onshore and offshore oil and gas opportunities, and strengthen Canada’s sovereignty in the North.

Quick Facts • The Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway is a collaborative project of the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk, and the Town of Inuvik.

• The Government of

Canada is contributing $200 million towards this project.

• The Government of the Northwest Territories is contributing $99 million.

• The total estimated cost of the project is $299 million.

• The work is being completed using unique construction techniques that ensures the underlying continuous permafrost remains protected in a frozen state.

Quotes “The Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway is an essential component of Northern transportation infrastructure. Not only will it create jobs and economic benefits for Northerners, but it will connect communities, support the transportation of goods, and increase the potential for economic development in the Northwest Territories. By working with our provincial, territorial and municipal partners, we are meeting Canadians’ needs and positioning Canada’s economy for the future.” - The Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

“This construction project exemplifies the 18th Legislative Assembly’s priority to invest in NWT transportation infrastructure and workforce development. We

New Hyundai HX160L, HX180L Excavators Address Needs Of Popular Market Segments Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas today announced at the BAUMA 2016 international construction expo the addition of two new models to its HX Series of Tier 4 Finalcompliant hydraulic excavators – the HX160L and HX180L. At 16 metric tons and 18 metric tons, these two machines meet the needs of customers in two of the most popular size classes

for crawler excavators.

They join a family of nine other HX excavators Hyundai began introducing in 2015 to U.S. and Canadian markets.

Like other models in the HX product line, the new Hyundai HX160L and HX180L excavators provide up to 10-percent better fuel economy and 5-percent increased productivity compared with previous models. Both the HX160L

and HX180L are powered

by Perkins 1204E Tier 4 Final engines rated at 128 net hp (96 kW).

The HX160L excavator is rated as a 16-metric ton model, with an operating weight of 40,680 lb (18 450 kg). The 18-metric ton-rated Hyundai HX180L excavator has an operating weight of 42,882 lb (19 450 kg).

The operator’s cab in each new HX excavator

model includes as standard equipment an 8-inch (20.3cm) interactive, adjustable, touchscreen cluster-monitor with haptic remote control, providing easier operator accessibility and better ergonomics. The haptic remote control delivers reactive, tactile sensations using vibrations and pulses to guide the operator through menu selections.

Viewable on the monitor is the Hyundai-exclusive AAVM – or All-Around View Monitoring – an optional system that provides a 360° surround virtual operating view. Included in AAVM is the IMOD (Intelligent Moving Object De-

May 2016

tection) system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 16.5 feet (5 m) of the machine. The AAVM system helps make the Hyundai HX series among the safest excavators to operate on any jobsite in North America.

The cab on the HX160L and HX180L excavators is 13-percent roomier that prior models and features enhanced climate-control, more leg and foot space from the seat to the pedals, reduced in-cab sound level, heated operator’s seat with standard air suspension and integrated console. Additional features include a Bluetooth audio system and Miracast wireless functionality for viewing a mobile device screen on the monitor.

Hydraulic system enhancements on the HX160L and HX180L excavators include an innovative Boom Float mode for better grading control, Fine Swing mode for improved load control when swinging, and up to 13-percent faster cycle speeds than previous models. Both models also feature IPC (Intelligent Power Control) computer-aided power optimization based on load demand, and Eco Breaker mode for selectable pump flow and improved fuel consumption when working with Hyundai hydraulic breakers and many other attachments. The combination of faster cycle times and more power results in pro-

ductivity increases of up to 5 percent.

Enhanced reliability features on the HX series include reinforced longer-life pins and bushings coupled with wear-resistant polymer shims and newly designed cab shock mounts with dual shock absorption for reduced vibration and noise and improved operator comfort. Serviceability enhancements include ground-level access to the fuel filter and convenient exterior access to the cab air filter. Additional guard rails provide greater safety while performing maintenance and inspections on the upper structure deck.

New Tier 4 Final engine technologies, a more efficient vertically stacked cooling design, efficient electronic fan clutch, and hydraulic system innovations on the Hyundai HX series excavators contribute to an overall fuel efficiency improvement of up to 10 percent compared with previous models.

The Hyundai HX160L and HX180L excavators are protected by Hyundai’s industry-leading threeyear, 3,000-hour standard warranty and five-year, 5,000-hour structural warranty. Hyundai also includes three years of free access to its Hi-Mate remote management system which provides a variety of remote monitoring and diagnostic services. b

North America Traffic Welcomes Hawkins-Graves As Virginia Distributor North America Traffic boosted its service and support in Virginia by adding Hawkins-Graves, Inc. to its growing distributor network in March. HawkinsGraves is an established construction equipment dealer based in Lynchburg, Virginia. Known for specialized safety equipment, Hawkins-Graves now offers North America Traffic portable traffic signals to complement its existing lineup of machines and tools from leading manufacturers.

“Hawkins-Graves shares our values and approach to business,” says Peter Vieveen, President of North America Traffic.

“Like North America Traffic, they take great pride in offering a quality product.

We both prioritize customer service and support.

We’re very excited to work with Hawkins-Graves.”

“It’s a win for everyone,” says John Jordan, President of HawkinsGraves, about the agreement. “Our contractors win because they now have ac-

cess to the North America Traffic line of quality portable traffic control devices for both long-term and short-term projects.

We win because we are expanding our range of products to better suit our customers.”

John and his brother, Matt Jordan, VP/Sales Manager, were familiar with the North America Traffic products before they considered becoming a distributor. Some of their customers were interested, so they did some investigating. They learned how simple it was to set up and program North America Traffic portable traffic signals and quickly realized that North America Traffic is, “obviously the top player in the marketplace,” says John.

Their research brought them to a point where they were eager to join forces with North America Traffic. “Frankly, we liked the product,” he says. “It’s simple, user-friendly and easy-to-use. The lights and signals perform reliably in

all weather conditions.”

Matt sat down with the sales team and reviewed the North America Traffic product offering and features; they determined that this was product line for their marketplace.

One feature that is crucial for contractors is the simplicity of North America Traffic design, says John. “No one wants to deal with equipment that takes a rocket scientist to operate.”

All North America Traffic equipment design can be used by anyone on the jobsite with minimal training. The user-friendly control panel allows one person to actuate traffic and set cycle times and phases on primary and secondary signals in only a few minutes. Once the signals are programmed, they can run autonomously around the clock.

This simplicity means less training for operators, less room for error and more time on the job. In fact, John says he can train anyone on how to operate a North America Traffic system in five minutes.

When it came to training the Hawkins-Graves sales staff, it did not take very

long to get everybody up to speed.

Based on his customers’ needs, John will stock the PTL 2.4x and PTL 2.4LD models for both sales and rentals. The PTL 2.4x is ideal for long-duration projects such as bridge construction. The PTL 2.4LD is designed for light-duty, temporary traffic control.

John anticipates an

Page 15

equal balance of sales and rentals of the North America Traffic equipment.

“We’ll have customers who will buy the portable lights because they’re using them frequently. Then, some customers will just rent them from project to project when they need them. We want to offer the solution to both types of customers.”

John says he has already approached some municipalities in Virginia and plans to reach out to rental houses as well. “We have every reason to believe that they’ll embrace this product,” he says. “Its top quality, simple to use, and it increases jobsite safety.” b Source: MS&S

What is Area 27 You Ask? Area 27 is Canada’s newest, most exciting and extremely picturesque motorsport circuit located just a few kilometres south of Oliver, British Columbia. Oliver is a small Okanagan Valley town parked along Highway 97, south of Penticton, north of Osoyoos, and just a few kilometres from the United States border. The town boasts a rich and storied history and today is known as Canada’s Wine Capital.

Soon it will also be known as Canada’s Motorsports Capital. Phase one of Area 27’s build-out will feature at 3 mile (4.9 km) road course designed by Formula One World Driving Champion and Canadian racing legend Jacques Villeneuve. Built to and certified as a Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Category II circuit, Area 27 will be the longest road course track west of Ontario.

He was right… and I quietly tucked my pipe that is the location we are dream away in the bottom at today.”

Possibly The Biggest Challenge Now Drossos was faced with possibly his biggest challenge… money. It was going to take a bunch of money to build a professional road racing circuit and he knew it. The idea of large corporate sponsorships, sponsorships that had fuelled the motorsport industry in North America for decades, was changing… rather dramatically…and not in Bill’s favour. But the idea of membership-based or country club road racing circuits was catching on across the USA. So more meetings… and soon the idea of Area 27 as a membership-based, luxury motorsport park and racing academy started taking shape.

Who Will Build It? Certainly Bill Drossos had the idea, the designer, the originating team and the promise of membership monies sufficient to get things started. The next big hurdle was construction. Who… to get to build it? Enter Canadian racing icon Trevor Seibert, who just happens to be the owner and president of B.C. based Lake Excavating, one of Canada’s premier heavy construction companies.

“When Bill called and explained the membership

concept, what he wanted to do and what needed to be done, I was on board,” stated Seibert. “As a race car driver, you are always dreaming of designing your own racing circuit and here I was being presented with the opportunity to work on the design and construction of an international class race track and racing academy with my friend Bill Drossos and Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve… I was stoked!

My job was going to be to turn this 225 acres of rock and sage brush into racing reality and fulfill Bill’s dream… It was going to be a huge task, but I was up for it.”

Trevor and Jacques spent days walking through the sage brush, the valleys and over the rocks and hills laying the track out. Next Seibert got his construction engineering team working on layouts, super elevations, straight-away lengths, turn radii and spirals, banking angles, run-off locations and sizes, pit and paddock locations, all the key elements of any successful and safe racing circuit. “It was a challenge,” stated Trevor, “our team was used to working on highway design but laying out a race course is so much more demanding. That is

where my experience as a race car driver and the international racing experience of Jacques really kicked in.”

Construction Begins So in early February 2016, Trevor and his Lake Excavating team began moving in some heavyiron, some really heavyiron, onto the sage brush covered Area 27 site.

“Working in the Okanagan is great,” stated Ryley Seibert, Trevor’s son, site supervisor and Canadian NASCAR driver. “I love it here, we have the weather on our side, it is dry, there was little or no snow and no frost in the ground, so we got right to work. I’m used to working in northern B.C. and Alberta during the winter so being down here is a real treat.

Currently, we have about twenty-five pieces of iron working the site including bulldozers, belly scrapers, graders, excavators, wheel loaders, and just this week we moved in a portable rock crusher. Another bonus for me is that over half of our crew are local First Nation peoples who know the area and are both eager to learn and to work.”

“Once we started moving dirt around we discovered a number of advantages to this location,” Trevor added. “Advantages like… soil that

Shell Eco-Marathon Americas Plays A Part In The Energy Transition Conversation Four days of activities designed to address how society can use human ingenuity, technology, collaboration and pragmatism to learn about, discuss and act on the energy transition.

Shell Eco-marathon Americas is one of three events of an annual global series and brings together: High school and university teams (approx. 129 teams) from Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and the U.S. competing in the Mileage Challenge; Thought leaders, Shell business representatives, government officials, academics and local business leaders at Powering Progress Together; and, Residents and visitors to Detroit, including over 6,000 schoolchildren, to the Shell Eco-marathon Experience.

It’s more than going over 3,587 mpg Yes, 3,587 miles per gallon (mpg) is the current Americas record held

by Université Laval; however, last year a nail-biting drama unfolded and included a last-minute win from the University of

Toronto edging out their Canadian rival with a run of 3,421 miles per gallon.

Laval finished with a respectable 3,365 mpg and still holds the all-time record for the competition in the Americas. After designing, building and testing their Urban Concept or Prototype vehicles for nearly a year, the mileage challenge is the teams’ final chance to make their vehicle “roadworthy” and to achieve ultimate energy efficiency (see last year’s results here) on the downtown Detroit street circuit.

While the actual event comes and goes, planning, fundraising and participating in external activities continue year-round.

Following the 2015 event, the University of Michigan team showcased their vehicle to crowds at the Detroit Grand Prix. In June, the 2015 winning team, the University of Toronto, headed west to be a part of the Shell V-Power NiTRO + Fuel Launch at Jay Leno’s Garage and enjoyed a private tour by the man himself.

Maybe you saw the two TV commercials featuring teams from Duke Univer-

sity (go behind-the-scenes here) and Northern Illinois University showcasing the future scientists and engineers? “Yes, the teams participate in the event itself, but there’s so much more to being a contender than building a vehicle,” explained Shell Eco-marathon Americas General Manager Pam Rosen. “As the months go on, all of these student teams balance the heavy weight of school work and life with the add-ons of designing, building and testing their vehicle plus fundraising, attracting media attention to grow local support, practicing safety values and much, much more.”

It’s not your parent’s science fair Last year’s event drew more than 13,000 attendees and even more are expected for 2016 at Detroit’s Cobo Centre. Guests are invited to a festival-like atmosphere that exhibits the fun ofSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields. Interactive exhibits are designed to improve understanding of energy sources and their related issues – and perhaps inspire career choices

Shell Fuel scientists will showcase Shell fuels, lubricants technology and GTL technology and participating in “Punk Science” fuels and lubricants demonstrations on the main stage. Plus, the Dual; the Deepwater Virtual Reality experience and the Shell Simulated Lab are just a few additional examples of how Shell businesses take part in Shell Eco-marathon.

Other opportunities for visitors to discover, think, create, make and learn were provided by Shell businesses like Marine, Aviation, Unconventionals, Alternative Energies, Hydrogen, LNG for Transport, as well as products and interactive experiences from external partners. Additionally, roughly 19 makers showcased a variety of STEM, artistic and handson displays and activities and featured local crafts and small businesses in the area.

The Shell Lubricants team recently launched a Truck Design Challenge for Detroit-area students and Great Lakes-area residents had the opportunity to enter the Shell Great Lakes Innovation Competition. The winners were announced at Powering Progress Together.

Stoneway Concrete Realizes Greater Payload, Enhanced Stability With Kenworth T880, PACCAR MX-11 Engine When Ralph Lo Priore looks at which new specification choices would likely work best for his company’s trucks, he prefers to deal in cold hard facts, not egos or emotions.

“Too often people make purchasing decisions on what’s always been done before,” said Lo Priore, director of fleet assets and processes for Stoneway Concrete and its parent company, Gary Merlino Construction Co. “Instead, I like to look at what’s going to deliver the best return on investment in terms of reliability, durability, serviceability, longevity and a lower cost of operation.”

Stoneway and Merlino operate a combined fleet of 150 trucks, including 85 transit mixers and 60 dump trucks from three locations – the company’s maintenance shop in Renton, Washington, a yard in South Seattle and another yard next to Ashgrove Cement in Seattle. When it came time to choose a new engine platform for Stoneway’s mixers, Lo Priore examined the data and chose the new PACCAR MX-11 engine platform with two Kenworth T880 mixer chassis for Stoneway Concrete. After those two T880s with the MX-11 proved their worth in operation, Lo Priore ordered nine more new similarly spec’d T880 mixers.

“I look at, for example, the company’s maintenance data, which helps me identify issues caused by bad spec’ing decisions, like equipping a truck with the wrong suspension,” Lo Priore said. Of course payload is always a major consideration, Lo Priore added. “Our customers always want more yardage with fewer trucks on the job. That’s why when I looked at how many times the company sent out one more mixer to a job site with short loads of concrete to finish up the job, I knew Stoneway Concrete needed trucks with more payload capacity.

“But trying to get that additional payload by going with the same 13-liter engine and looking for weight savings in other places, or going bigger with a 15-liter engine in applications other than the mixers, were just not the right options,” he said.

Lo Priore also credits the new model’s success to a decision to go with a setback front axle and a total of seven axles, including a conventional “boost-aload” axle, allowing for an 80,000-pound GVW, which is allowed under Washington State’s bridge formula. Lo Priore said he saw the more typical 76,000-pound GVW design with an 11-yard mixer as being “obsolete.”

While many ques-

tioned those choices, Lo Priore said he felt confident they were the right ones. That’s because with the PACCAR MX-11, the tractors and mixers realize a better horsepower-to weight ratio and gain payload capacity. And with the combination of the MX-11 and set-back front axle, the T880 mixers can carry 4,000 additional pounds of payload by redistributing the weight to the pusher axle when needed.

The additional payload capacity means the mixers can carry up to 12 yards of concrete per load instead of the usual 101/2 to 11 yards the typical 76,000-pound GVW Stoneway mixer equipped with a 13-liter engine would carry. With a 12yard capacity, the T880 mixer with PACCAR MX11 engine can generate an average of $315 more in daily revenue than a 10 1/2-yard mixer. Stoneway Concrete’s mixers typically run six days a week year-round, and as a result the T880 mixer can earn about $98,000 more in annual revenue, according to Lo Priore.

The lighter engine, setback front axle and addition of the pusher axle all changed the T880’s centre of gravity, allowing McNeilus to install a wider drum, Lo Priore said. By pushing the front axle back, the

drum also sits lower on the frame, which results in increased stability and reduced drum bounce, in onor off-road conditions. “By choosing the PACCAR MX11, we have a 400-pound lighter engine compared to a 13-liter engine, but with the same 430 horsepower,” Lo Priore added. “The MX11 engine, with its compact graphite iron head and block, is much lighter and more durable than an engine made of gray cast iron.

With the Allison 7-speed automatic transmission, it’s a perfect combination.

“Allison’s dynamic shift sensing allows the transmission to automatically choose gears based on the vehicle’s weight and the road grade. So, drivers get a state-of-the-art truck that doesn’t leave them tired with aching knees and shoulders from all of the shifting they have to do in city traffic,” he said.

“And the Kenworth T880 provides us the right chassis because of its design, which makes for a more comfortable work environment and offers a field of view drivers simply can’t get with the other available truck models.” Dan Leenhouts, who was assigned that first Kenworth T880 mixer with the PACCAR MX-11 engine in 2015, was so impressed by it, he chose to forgo his retirement in 2016 and continue working another two years for Stoneway.

“The Kenworth T880 offers such a phenomenal ride,” he said. “When I first drove it, I just could not believe how quiet it is in the

Page 19

cab. Because the MX- 11 provides good power and smooth acceleration, I find the T880 is able to keep up with the other trucks with larger engines, even lugging under load on hills.

“I’m also very, very pleased with the visibility from the cab,” Leenhouts said. “The mirrors are so perfectly positioned giving me the ability to manoeuvre well in heavy traffic. With its sloped hood, driving the T880 is almost like driving a cabover.” Lo Priore said it wasn’t easy to get a concrete mixer equipped with a set-back front axle, an 11- litre engine, and seven axles including a pusher

axle, built. After he shared data from Stoneway’s conditions-based maintenance program, “Kenworth was the only OEM willing to try,” he added. Lo Priore credits Rick Barry, territory sales director at Kenworth Northwest, and Kenworth technical engineers in making the spec happen.

“Now that we’ve proven what this new spec can achieve, I take pride that there’s a lot of other companies looking very hard at whether this new specification can work for them as well as it has for us,” Lo Priore said. b Source: Kenworth

Terex Trucks Helps Dig Deep For Rare Dorset Clay Wareham may be just a couple of miles inland from Purbeck’s Jurassic Coast yet it’s not dinosaur bones that a fleet of Terex Trucks are helping to uncover, but some of the world’s richest clay deposits.

As you look over the huge whorls made by

truck tires in the sand on the lip of Doreys ball clay quarry, fossils and ammonites spring to mind. The site just outside Wareham, Dorset, is, after all, right next to an ancient coastline whose layers of rock record some 185 million years of history.

But this is very modern treasure being mined here.

The 450,000 cubic metres of ball clay to be found 35 metres below ground is amongst the most soughtafter in the world. The clay’s hard-firing properties make it suitable for a wide range of processing

applications.

A large percent of the clay from this pit will be exported to Spain to be made into luxury ceramic tiles.

The rest will be processed for use in the pharmaceutical industry or transported to India to make pylon cables insulators.

A family affair The Doreys site is one of several in the area owned

by Imerys, a world leader in mineral-based products.

The quarry is operated by local family-firm Andrews Plant Hire and Haulage, whose owner, Peter Andrews, has been in business in Wareham since 1969 and now has two of his six sons working alongside him in the firm.

Terex Trucks has also been part of the family for over almost twenty years.

From initially owning three trucks, Andrews now runs a fleet of nine Terex Trucks machines - one TA30 and eight TA 300s - all hard at work at six different clay quarries in Dorset and South Devon.

The trucks carry out two main tasks: transporting overburden materials and completing land restoration projects. In the case of the Doreys pit, five Terex Trucks machines are working non-stop to remove huge volumes of sandstone and ‘bad clay’ excavated by the diggers and then hauling it to a different part of the site. It will then be mostly used as back-fill to restore an adjacent quarry, from which the clay has already been removed, with 60,000 tons of sand sold from the site.

‘This part of Doreys was a greenfield site until a year ago,’ explains Peter. ‘We put up screening bunds to shield the pit from the main road and built a road across the site over what was previously bog land. It’s taken

May 2016

us six months to take a big imprint off the site and get to the point where the clay can be removed.’

The Terex Truck machine at the Doreys pit each make 50-60 deliveries a day of overburden to the restoration point, being loaded in under a minute and a half with up to 30 tonnes. That adds up to between half and three quarters of a million cubic meters of overburden and restoration materials a year out of a total of 1.5 million cubic metres for all Andrews’ clients.

The restoration part of the process complies with strict local authority environmental regulations, which ensure that the quarries, once depleted, are restored as far possible to wetland, heath or farmland. A few years from now, Doreys will no longer be the thrumming centre of activity it is today, but restored to its former rural calm, the 35-meter gash in the earth once again serene grassy farmland.

Wider tires make light work What makes Terex Trucks so good for this environment? The answer’s at your feet. The Purbeck area may be gently rolling countryside delivering up fine-quality clay, but its heavy-going terrain in long wet winters, when the sand turns to a soupy yellow sludge.

‘Terex Trucks are perfect for our application.

They have more power than other haulage trucks and stand up well to what can be pretty rugged conditions. The wider-than-average tires on the machines allow the wheels to float over the top of the surface, instead of just spinning and jumping when the ground is very wet.’

This flotation design

is a far cry from the days when clay was first mined in the area in closed pits in the early 1800s and any overburden materials were transported by donkey and cart.

Such sophisticated design benefits are not the only reason for Andrews’ loyalty to the brand. ‘We find that the Terex Trucks back-up is second to none,’ explains Peter. ‘If there’s ever a breakdown, the engineer will be here with us on site in less than an hour.

It’s never a problem getting things repaired quickly and if ever a machine needs a factory modification, Terex Trucks will send another one down as a temporary replacement.’

‘On a couple of occasions over the years, we’ve had new Terex Trucks models as soon as they’ve come off the production line. The company has monitored their performance and we’ve been able to give feedback on any breakdowns or modifications needed. It’s a relationship and a product that’s worked very well for us.’ b Source: Terex

McElroy Fusion Machine Selected For Desert Water Line Project McElroy’s MegaMc 1600 fusion machine was selected to fuse pipe in support of drought mitigation activities being undertaken by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation. As a part of an on-going initiative to preserve water resources during the West’s on-going and historic drought, Reclamation is updating aged infrastructure to be able to achieve greater efficiency out of its water delivery systems.

Materials for an effort to replace aged and leaking concrete water delivery structures were delivered in March near the Mexico border in San Luis, Ariz. By fusing 48” high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe to replace a failing 42” concrete pipeline, the government will be able to make beneficial use of pumped drainage water which is otherwise harmful to the area’s agricultural economy.

R&B Company of San Jose, Calif., a utility supply solutions company, supplied the machine that would best fit the application along with 40,000 feet of pipe. They also provided certified fusion operator training for the maintenance crew from the Reclamation’s Yuma Office.

The MegaMc 1600 wheeled fusion machines have been used on largediameter pipe jobs in a variety of applications worldwide. They feature four-jaws with more

Stands, strategically situated on either side of the machine for support, which prevents pipe damage, reduces drag for a quality fusion and boosts productivity.

The crew will eventually be performing a total of about 600 pipe fusions for the six-mile pipeline and are planning on being able to perform about 12 fusions a day in two, four-man shifts. The MegaMc 1600 is rugged and will get a good workout, but so will the crew this summer with temperatures in the Sonoran Desert — the hottest desert in North America — easily reaching 120 degrees.

The first phase of the project is expected to be complete this fall with two other larger phases to be completed by 2018.

As the project moves forward, McElroy sees opportunities for more involvement on the project with more of its pipeline productivity equipment and fusion machines to help finish the job.

The Reclamation’s Yuma Office maintains 276 miles of the lower Colorado River channel — for water delivery from the Davis Dam in Nevada to the Mexico border — in addition to more than 100 ground water drainage wells and 90 miles of canals that feed the agriculturally-rich area. They oversee the delivery of more than 7 million acre-feet of water annually to Arizona, California, Nevada and Mexico, the majority of which is used for irrigation which contributes to Yuma County’s status as the nation’s third top vegetable producer. b

than 80,000 lbs. of fusion force allowing operators to overcome heavier drag forces and fuse thickerwall pipes.

Standing 9-feet tall and stretching 15-feet in length, the 21,000-pound machines is imposing, but its components — including the jaws, pipe lifts, heater and facer — are hydraulically powered for smoothness and ease of use.

When considering a pipe material, a multidisciplinary team of engineers analyzed many types, including steel and reinforced concrete, but selected JM Eagle’s PE 4710 SDR 17/IPS 125 recommended by R&B for its strength, durability and flexibility. Properly fused HDPE pipe is leak-free and resistant to corrosion and weather.

Studies indicate it can last 100 years.

McElroy’s technical and engineering support team was onsite the first day of the job to re-instill best practices in the operation of the machine and to spend one-on-one time with each of the fusion operators to review each step of the fusion process. Safe operation of the facer and heater were stressed, and McElroy’s DataLogger 5 was used to record the parameters of the fusion process to ensure and document that the operator produced a quality, leak-free joint.

Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, and Extreme Sandbox, LLC, a top-rated, heavyequipment-adventure company, has announced an exclusive equipment sponsorship agreement that enables both companies to expose more Americans to the exhilarating experience of operating heavy machinery.

Extreme Sandbox provides guests with a truly unique opportunity to fulfil their childhood dreams of operating real construction machines. The adventure takes place in a 10-acre “sandbox,” with training supervision from highly trained expert instructors who help guests learn and operate the machines, provide a proper operating environment and provide a fun and memorable experience.

With manufacturing and foundry facilities in several U.S. states, Komatsu America is a leading manufacturer of earthmoving equipment primarily for the construction, mining and forestry industries.

Together, the two companies plan to expand the public’s exposure to heavy machinery. By combining Extreme Sandbox’s national expansion plans and proven track record creating memorable experiences, with Komatsu America’s world-class machines, national reach and global resources, the alliance will introduce a new generation to heavy machinery and an underexplored area for rewarding careers.

“This alliance is an opportunity to transform these impressive marvels of engineering technology from a roadside and work-zone curiosity into an informative, exciting, hands-on experience,” said Rich Smith, VP, Product and Services Division for Komatsu America Corp. “Long term, we hope climbing inside and feeling the comfort, speed and power of these machines inspires a new generation of men and women who are good with their hands to consider careers in the construc-

tion industry. The Construction Industry provides great employment opportunities for future operators, technicians and engineers. The degree to which cutting-edge technology will shape the jobsites and careers in the construction industry of the future is a wellkept secret – we want to change that,” Smith said.

“We are thrilled to showcase the Komatsu brand of equipment at our Extreme Sandbox locations nationwide,” said Randy Stenger, Founder & CEO of Extreme Sandbox.

“Our business has grown quickly and with that we desired to work with an equipment manufacturer that both has a top reputation and can help support our national growth.

Komatsu is a leader in the industry and we have been truly impressed with their state of the art equipment. We have built an experiential brand that knows how to have fun, that’s what we do, so it’s great to be able to expand in to other areas to leverage our very unique skillset. We see tremendous value in using ‘fun’ to get students excited about the heavy equipment trades as well as letting the gen-

eral public experience what it is like to operate these types of equipment.

It really does leave people with a new appreciation for what our construction workers do on a daily basis and we are proud to be able to represent the Komatsu brand,” Stenger said.

In addition to the Trip Advisor, #1-ratedattraction site in suburban Minneapolis, and the second site opening April 15, 2016, an hour north of Dallas, TX, site openings are planned for several US cities in the next few years. Permanent sites will also offer the opportunity to schedule machine and safety training at the high school and community-college level, as well as demonstration and customer appreciation events for local distributors.

At the same time, through collaborations with local distributors, Extreme Sandbox will embark on periodic road tours that spread the message of a thrilling experience and a rewarding career to local communities across the country, via tailgating events, state fairs, festivals, parades, etc. b Source: Komatsu

Landscape Architect Paul Brydges Named President Of Landscape Ontario Paul Brydges became the first landscape architect to hold the position of president of Landscape Ontario, officially beginning his two-year mandate at the horticultural association’s annual general meeting Jan. 13.

A graduate of the University of Guelph’s landscape architect program in 1994, Brydges serves as the principal and senior architect at Brydges Landscape Architecture in Guelph.

The theme of his tenure will be “drawn together,” which Brydges says illustrates the importance of collaboration amongst LO members for the betterment of the profession.

“The daily driving force and message in our design office are that of teamwork and relationships,” Brydges wrote in the January issue of LO magazine. “As landscape architects, our biggest role is and should be that of a coach. We listen to our clients’ needs, wants and wishes and blend the realistic with the fantastic. This is the same platform that LO is built upon in so many respects.”

He added, “Our biggest hurdle in achieving and maintaining our modern landscape is to

fession. Together we contribute to making the world a better place.

Landscape Ontario looks forward to helping Paul communicate this message internally and externally. Paul is also the first practicing landscape architect at the helm of our organization. It reminds us that all sectors in our wonderful profession are interrelated and interdependent. Our profession is better together.”

The Landscape Ontario 2016 provincial board includes: Paul Brydges, president; Warren Patterson, first vice president; David Wright, second vice president; Dave Braun, past president; Lindsay Nightingale, treasurer; Gerwin Bouman, growers; Mark Humphries, snow and ice; Steve Macartney, irrigation; Brian Marsh, grounds; Alan White, lawn care; Peter Guinane, contractors; Michael Van Dongen, garden centre; Stephen Schell, interior; James Solecki, lighting; Blake Tubby, memberat-large; Gregg Salivan, member-at-large; Michael Pascoe, London chapter; Brian Baun, Durham chapter; Thomas Blatter, Waterloo chapter; Donald Tellier, Windsor chapter; Chris Burns, Ottawa chapter; Margot Burns, Georgian Lakeland chapter; Terry Child, Upper Canada chapter; and Tim Cruickshanks, Golden Horseshow chapter. b

overcome the shortage of qualified team members and also the perception of our profession as mowers of lawns and shovellers of snow; those days are generations gone. If we can look at ourselves in the proper light and realize through education and years of on-the-job training that we are professionals, we can change our market perception. That is how we are going to bring young professionals into the profession, as well as interest students to move into programs that will qualify them for the careers.”

Brydges was elected by the LO provincial board of directors last fall after serving in a variety of roles on the board, including most recently as its second vice president after stints as the design sector representative and as a volunteer with the LO Canada Blooms garden design team.

LO executive director Tony DiGiovanni said, “President Paul has a powerful and profound message that provides clarity about how our sector enhances lives by what we do and who we are. He wants to remind all of us that we are much more than an Source: Landscape industry; we are a pro- Ontario

Feds Confirm Commitment to Introducing e-Logs and e-Stability Control for Trucks The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) says officials from Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s office have confirmed media reports suggesting the new government is moving forward to replace current requirements for truck drivers to complete paper log books with a mandate that trucks be equipped with Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) as the standard mechanism for monitoring, auditing and enforcing compliance with national hours of service regulations.

In addition, it was confirmed that a new manufacturing standard will be introduced to require that all new heavy trucks sold in Canada be equipped with an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

CTA, which is a federation of the provincial trucking associations, representing over 4,500 trucking companies nationally, welcomes confirmation of both initiatives.

benefits in terms of safety and administration of both measures outweigh the costs for both the trucking industry and for government.

While Transport Canada cannot give a firm date for introduction of the regulations at this time, it is expected to align implementation as closely as possible to the timetable for similar measures in the U.S. – late 2017 or early 2018.

Now that it has the commitment of the federal government, the industry is calling upon the provinces to implement an identical ELD mandate for those trucking operations that come under provincial jurisdiction, says Bradley.

Under the Canadian constitution the federal government has jurisdiction over extra-provincial trucking operations (i.e., those that cross provincial and/or international borders) while the provincial governments are responsible for intra-provincial trucking operations (those that operate solely within a province). b

“We have been advocating for both of these key safety measures for over a decade now,” says CTA president, David Bradley.

“We know that Transport Canada has been working on both issues but with a new government in charge we needed to confirm the commitment is moving forward at the political level.

I am satisfied that commitment is in place.”

ELDs are devices used to track, collect and record data on a truck driver’s hours of service. The federal hours of service regulation, which is designed to combat driver fatigue, is arguably the most important element of the National Safety Code for Trucks.

ESC systems help protect against truck rollovers and other loss of control incidents by automatically engaging the engine retarder and applying a truck’s brakes even before the driver is aware of the need for increased stability.

Iraq’s Oil Minister Resigned In Midst Of Instability Crisis The resignation of Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul-Mahdi last month came at a tough time for upstream development in Iraq, which has been losing pace over recent months due to dropping oil prices.

Indeed, one of the most significant global oil production growth drivers has been derailed, according to an analyst with research and consulting firm GlobalData.

Despite the country’s wealth of resource, budgetary constraints caused by low oil prices, political disputes, and a prolonged conflict with ISIS have impacted the Iraqi government’s ability to maintain the tremendous levels of capital investment required to realize targeted production levels. This has resulted in the Iraqi Oil Ministry revising its production targets from 9 million barrels per day (mmbd) to 6 mmbd by 2020.

Ali Al-Killidar, Global-

tion steady at the current rate of 1.4 mmbd. Although the 2016 budget for the field has not been reported, a similar cut in investment is expected, with the primary focus of the operator shifting to offset the natural decline, at 17%.”

Despite the numerous adverse events the Iraqi oil industry has experienced of late, Iraqi authorities have retaken oil fields from ISIS with international support, opening up the possibility of redevelopment.

Al-Killidar adds: “As a consequence of the conflict, field infrastructure sustained extensive damage during fighting and the Iraqi government has lost up to 400,000 barrels per day of production during the conflict.

“Redevelopment to salvage the fields has yet to be planned, partially due to the lingering threat of ISIS. However, should the group be eliminated, the government is likely to reinvest in the restoration of these fields over the long term.” b

Data’s Analyst covering Oil and Gas, says that current production is around 4.3 mmbd, and GlobalData forecasts closer to 5 mmbd by 2020, primarily due to budget cuts faced by consortiums across the whole of Iraq.

Al-Killidar explains: “Generally, revenues from Iraq’s southern fields, which account for 95% of the state’s budget, are not enough to cover all the state’s budgetary expenses and repay oil companies for their investments in the upstream sector, and Abdul-Mahdi warned operators about this. According to Iraqi officials, the potential for a low price environment was overlooked when the contracts were initially drawn up.

“In May 2015, BP agreed to cut its budget for the Rumaila field by US$1 billion from the initially-planned US$3.5 billion, leaving produc- Source: GlobalData

Feds Launch Interactive Website On Clean Growth The Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, marked Earth Day on April 22 by attending the Paris Agreement signing ceremony at the United Nations in New York alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, when Canada and other countries formally accepted the Agreement, adopted last December.

On Earth Day, Canadians also saw the launch of a new interactive website to seek input from Canadians, including Indigenous peoples, on how to address climate change and promote clean growth.

This engagement tool will allow Canadians to be part of a national conversation on climate change, share their ideas and see what others are saying. This is an opportunity to provide feedback on what individuals, families, organizations, communities, businesses and govern-

viewed by working group members. However, it should be noted that the Government of Canada will continue to accept ideas after this date.

The website will also offer Canadians the tools they need to hold town halls to engage their communities from the grassroots.

Quote “Engaging Canadians on our plans and efforts to address climate change is something I view as essential, and I hope that Canadians from coast to coast to coast will take part in our efforts to create a climate smart economy and country.

“Tomorrow, we will sign the historic Paris climate change agreement, a fitting celebration for Earth Day. I encourage everyone to join the online conversation and be part of the solution by making your suggestions online or hosting a town hall on climate change and clean growth in your communities.” – The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change. b

ments can do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change.

Engaging the public is an essential part of developing a Canadian plan on clean growth and climate change, and builds on the Vancouver Declaration adopted by First Ministers at their meeting on March 3, 2016.

Contributions received via the interactive website will be reviewed by members of the four different working groups that have been created to provide recommendations to First Ministers on: • how and where to reduce emissions • ideas for new innovation, technology and job creation • how to put a price on carbon • preparing for the impacts of climate change Canadians are encouraged to submit ideas online by June 1, 2016, in order for them to be re- Source: Gov’t of Canada

The 24-metric ton (24 000-kg / 64,301-lb) Hyundai HX235LCR excavator is a compactradius model, featuring a Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 Final engine rated at 183 hp (136 kW). Performance specs include a maximum digging depth of 22 ft (6 700 mm), maximum digging reach of 32 ft 6 in (9 910 mm), and bucket digging force of 37,104 lbf (16 830 kgf).

Capacity of the standard 39.4-in-wide (1 000-mm) bucket is 1.05 yd3 (0.80 m3).

Industry-Leading Operating Environment “Like other models in the HX series, the new Hyundai HX140L and HX235LCR excavators come packed with high-end features,” said Corey Rogers, Marketing Manager, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas.

For example, both new

HX excavator models include as standard equipment an 8-inch (20.3-cm) interactive, adjustable, touchscreen cluster-monitor in the cab. The monitor in the HX140L model includes haptic remote control, providing easier operator accessibility and better ergonomics. The haptic remote control delivers reactive, tactile sensations using vibrations and pulses to guide the operator through menu selections.

Viewable on the monitor, which is standard equipment on both the HX140L and the HX235LCR, is the Hyundai-exclusive AAVM – or All-Around View Monitoring – an optional system that provides a 360⁰-surround virtual operating view. Included in AAVM is the IMOD (Intelligent Moving Object Detection) system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 16.5 feet (5 m) of the machine. The AAVM system helps make the Hyundai HX series among the safest excavators to operate on any jobsite in North America.

Better fuel economy, enhanced cabs, improved hydraulics New Tier 4 Final engine technologies, a more efficient vertically stacked cooling design, efficient electronic fan clutch, and hydraulic system innovations on the Hyundai HX series excavators contribute to an overall fuel effi-

ciency improvement of up to 10 percent compared with previous models.

The Hyundai HX series excavators feature large cabs with enhanced climate-control, more leg and foot space from the seat to the pedals, reduced in-cab sound level, heated operator’s seat with standard air suspension and integrated console. Additional features include a Bluetooth audio system and Miracast wireless functionality for viewing a mobile device screen on the monitor.

An improved hydraulic system includes an innovative Boom Float mode for better grading control, Fine Swing mode for improved load control when swinging, and up to 13-percent faster cycle speeds than previous models. The HX140L and HX235L also feature IPC (Intelligent Power Control) computeraided power optimization based on load demand, and Eco Breaker mode for selectable pump flow and improved fuel consumption when working with Hyundai hydraulic breakers and many other attachments. The combination of faster cycle times and more power result in productivity increases of up to 5 percent.

Enhanced reliability features on the HX series include reinforced longer-life pins and bushings coupled with wear-resistant polymer shims and newly designed cab shock mounts

with dual shock absorption for reduced vibration and noise and improved operator comfort. Serviceability enhancements include ground-level access to the fuel filter and convenient exterior access to the cab air filter. Additional guard rails provide greater safety while performing maintenance and inspections on the upper structure deck.

Industry leading warranties The Hyundai HX140L and HX235LCR excavators are protected by Hyundai’s industry-leading threeyear, 3,000-hour standard warranty and five-year, 5,000-hour structural warranty.

Sennebogen 840 R-HD Material Handler Proves Essential To Alabama Dock Operation Moving 8 to 10 million bushels of material is a respectable year’s work for any river dock. When the material you’re moving is a seasonal field crop, the challenge moves up to another level.

That’s the challenge that Gavilon barge facility in Decatur, AL was facing when Vaughn Gambrell was named Superintendent of the site. Gavilon, a leading global commodity management firm, acquired this dock on the Tennessee River to transload and store 1 million bushels of corn and grain here annually.

To meet this target, Gavilon needed a material handler that could keep pace through seasonal peaks, with as little downtime as possible while vessels were waiting. The chosen solution was a Sennebogen 840 R-HD and,

us!”

Crawler tracks increase utilization In addition to its day job, the Sennebogen earns its keep moving material within the facility’s 40-acre (16 hectares) site. Gavilon can store nearly 2 million bushels of grain here, and about half of it stocked in ground piles. The 840’s long reach helps to maintain stockpiles up to 40 feet high (12.2 m). Gambrell also uses it to assist in tarping the piles by supporting most of the tarp’s weight and positioning it while crews on the ground secure it.

Until the company added a large concrete pad this year, the ground piles were literally on the ground. Travel on the site could be treacherous after heavy rains. Gambrell notes that his skidsteers and 4x4 trucks often get stuck in the deep mud, but the Sennebogen has no trouble traveling around the work site on its wide crawler tracks.

“We haven’t got the Sen-

with the facility’s first few seasons behind him, Gambrell is sure it was the right choice.

The dependability of the green machine came through recently when a grain shipment was rerouted to the Decatur facility, with an urgent need to offload quickly. Barges ran loads from the vessel nonstop for 30 consecutive days, and the 840 never missed a step.

Purpose-built for grainhandling The 840 R-HD is the first purpose-built material handler Gambrell has operated. “At my previous location, we worked with a converted excavator,” he explains. “This Sennebogen was something new for me.” Purchased in 2011, the D-Series 840 model is mounted on a crawler undercarriage and equipped

with a long reach banana boom, which carries a 5.5 yard (4.2 m3) clamshell bucket.

The machine spends most of its time perched on a concrete platform overlooking the river. The 360 degree same lift capacity gives it an extra measure of stability, which operators appreciate when they pull up a full bucket load with the boom fully extended. “You work more efficiently when you have that feeling of confidence in the machine,” says Gambrell. He often takes a turn at operating the 840 himself. “I love it!” he reports. “It’s very easy to handle, and it’s easy to train new operators. The joystick controls have a very intuitive feel.”

With the speed and precision of the Sennebogen machine, transload-

ing directly from barges to trucks becomes a smooth, highly efficient process.

“We can plan our logistics to load straight into the outbound trucks,” says Gambrell, “and that lets us save a step in storing the grain in our elevators.”

Elevated cab improves view, safety As an experienced operator, Gambrell also appreciates the commanding view provided by the 840’s hydraulically elevating maXCab. With the cab fully raised, his eye level is about 19 ft. (5.8 m) above the ground, not including the platform the machine sits on. “It’s helpful when the cab rises up, to see right into the barge, all the corners and where everybody is in it,” he says.

“In most machines, even with a fixed hi-rise cab, you can’t really see what’s around you. But when I’m up on the platform operating the Sennebogen, I can see the guy who’s running the skid-steer in the hold.

John Deere Power Systems is prepared today to lead OEMs through the transition from Stage IV to anticipated Stage V regulations with proven experience and expertise.

The John Deere modular building block approach to emission control is proven and has led to a DPF solution that is capable of complying with the requirements indicated in the EU Commission’s proposal COM (2014)581 concerning Stage V emissions.

One of the significant impacts expected of Stage V will be the introduction of a particle number (PN) limit for engines in the 19 kW to 560 kW power band, which will necessitate use of DPF (diesel particulate filter) technology by OEMs. John Deere has been employing DPF technology since Interim Tier 4/Stage III B, with more than 150 million DPF hours logged in the field.

John Deere is leveraging new catalyst technologies and emissions

control calibrations to enable downsizing of their aftertreatment. OEMs benefit by retaining the same engine performance in a reduced package size. The next generation aftertreatment solutions from John Deere will deliver greater package flexibility and offer easier installation while providing up to a 20 percent reduction in size and up to 40 percent reduction in weight.

“John Deere adopted DPF technology as part of an integrated emission control system because it is the best solution for most applications. By treating NOx and PM downstream of the engine, John Deere engines with DPF are optimized for increased torque response, low-speed torque, and fluid efficiency; and provide responsive power at higher altitudes,” said John Piasecki, director of marketing, sales and customer support for John Deere Power Systems.

John Deere Power Systems has extensive experi-

Page 29 nebogen stuck yet, but we’re trying,” jokes Gambrell.

High throughput with low operating cost The dependability of the 840 pays off in cost savings as well as productivity. Gambrell says his maintenance crew finds troubleshooting to be very simple with plain and simple error codes appearing on the machine’s diagnostics screen. For an emergency repair, Gambrell can call on his nearby Tractor & Equipment Co. (TEC) branch, Sennebogen’s regional distributor. According to Donnie Burgreen, TEC’s Branch Vice-President, service response time for the Decatur site is “immediate.”

Fuel efficiency adds to those savings. “The 840 gets good fuel economy,” Gambrell says.

“We can unload almost two barges on one tank of fuel.” b Source: MS&S “We are well positioned to transfer our experience level directly to our customers, giving them peace of mind and a distinct advantage in the process.

John Deere has expertise in integrating the engine and drivetrain into the rest of the vehicle for optimized performance, operator convenience, fluid economy and overall value.”

John Deere is prepared for the growing complexity in world emissions standards; by 2022, there may be at least five different levels of emissions standards globally. “We are fully committed to supporting our customers around the world with solutions to meet their unique application needs,” said Geoff Stigler, director – sales, marketing and customer support – EAME, ASIA and AU for John Deere Power Systems. “OEMs, regardless of location, are best served through timely and strategic preparation, and John Deere is ready to help them identify and implement the best solutions for their business. Our modular building block approach offers greater application flexibility to help OEMs meet increasingly challenging machine design goals. b

ence with the development and integration of DPF technology in both John Deere and OEM equipment through Stage III B and Stage IV implementation.

This experience continues to lead to enhancements in efficiency and optimization of aftertreatment solutions that strengthen application flexibility for OEM customers.

“This depth of diverse application experience extends throughout our distributor network and with all John Deere service dealers; they have a comfort level with DPF technology because John Deere has been using it for years,” Piasecki said.

Piasecki said John Deere recognizes as Stage V approaches, OEMs new to DPF technology may be worried it will add installation complexity or affect operational performance.

“We are committed to helping OEMs through every step of the application process to make it as seamless as possible,” Piasecki said. Source: John Deere

Kenworth T680s Provide High MPG, Low Driver Turnover Wade Day is a secondgeneration lifer. He’s been in the trucking business for as long as he can remember – following in the footsteps of his father, Doug Day, who began his own career driving coal trucks in Kentucky. When Wade was old enough to drive, he helped in the construction of Interstate 65 in Indiana by piloting a dump

truck for his father’s small company. That business eventually morphed into Day’s Express, which focused on cross-country refrigerated transport and grew to a fleet of 225 tractors. After college, Day worked there in various operational capacities, including dispatch.

“My Dad saw good times and bad, and ended

up having to fold Day’s Express in 1991,” recalled Day. “He started Hoosier Air soon after that, and I went to work for him there in 1997.” His father chose the “Air” part of the company’s name because he liked the air-ride suspension, which helps give cargo a better ride down the road. According to Wade, all of that experience helped when he took over Hoosier Air Transport from his father in 2012.

“Up until three years ago, we were running general freight,” said Day. “But we’ve since switched over to a full refrigerated fleet, which matches well with our penchant for customer service and on-time delivery.”

Today, Hoosier Air operates 85 tractors and 100 reefer trailers. The company has standardized on the Kenworth T680 with 76-inch sleeper, powered by the PACCAR MX-13 engine rated at 455 hp and optimized with the Eaton Fuller Advan-

tage 10-speed automated transmission. The T680s – 32 so far – were purchased through Kenworth of Indianapolis.

“We will match our service against anyone in the industry,” said Day. “And we feel the T680 helps us in that regard.

Our on-time delivery rate is 99.9 percent and our driver turnover is less than 20 percent – even with our drivers on the road six- to 10 days at a time. The T680 certainly helps lower our turnover, as the drivers absolutely love the trucks. But, we also run a drop-and-hook operation so there are no delays – drivers are always on the go making money.”

From an operational standpoint, Hoosier Air has seen a significant boost in fuel economy over the trucks the T680s replaced. “We’ve been a SmartWay fleet, so we have trailer skirts and even boat tails, plus SmartWay-verified tires. Prior to the T680, our drivers were getting up to the mid 7s in fuel economy. Out of the gate with the T680 and MX13 engine, we saw an 8 mpg* average. Our very top driver has been aver-

aging 9 mpg. I remember when I first started in the business – trucks were averaging 4 to 4.5 mpg.

What we’re getting now is something else.”

I remember when I first started in the business – trucks were averaging 4 to 4.5 mpg.

What we’re getting now is something else.”

While the T680s are less than a year old and have been ultra-reliable, Day said keeping the trucks rolling down the road has taken a quantum leap forward thanks to Kenworth’s TruckTech+ remote diagnostics. The system interprets fault codes and provides fleet managers and drivers with needed information.

Email notifications to customers may instruct the driver to keep driving – no action required; keep driving and have the fault addressed during the next service interval; head to a dealer for service; or pull over to prevent damage.

If the customer needs to take the truck in for service, the system maps out the locations of the three closest repair facilities.

“TruckTech+ gives us real-time information and that’s vital to keep our fleet running,” said Day. “I feel remote diagnostics is one of the biggest advancements we’ve seen in truck technology in many years. It’s as if we were driving blind before, but now we have visibility. TruckTech+ is key for us in knowing exactly what’s happening with our trucks – whether we need immediate service, or if we can continue on and handle the issue at a later time. Before, if the fault light came on, our driver would call dispatch and we’d have to spend time figuring out what was happening. With TruckTech+ we know and can make immediate decisions.” b Source: Kenworth
