Supply Post Central/Eastern Canada Edition · Our Readers Are Your Buyers “We’re always looking for an edge to compete against the big fleets around town.”

Toronto Owner Operator Finds Increased Productivity In The Tightest Of Places Trailering in a 59,300 pound excavator to demolish a brick building will definitely draw notice – especially when the buildings on either side of the structure to be razed are literally just a couple feet away.

That’s the challenge that family-owned RoadEx Contracting Ltd, a threegeneration owner operator construction company located in Toronto, Canada, frequently faces.

“We’ve had occupants of buildings sit and watch

our operators all day as we knock the structures down,” said Ernie Campoli, RoadEx owner. “Having the right equipment to operate smoothly in tight places provides the confidence we need to work quickly but safely.”

The machine of choice for this project is the Kobelco SK260SR, a new addition to RoadEx’s stable of excavators. The SR stands for “short rear swing” and a unique ability to perform continuous dig, 180-degree swing and dump operations within a working space as small as 12 feet 6 inches. “Kobelco was the first manufacturer to develop a SRcapable excavator in the industry,” said Bob Green,

founder and owner of Robert Green Equipment, an exclusive Kobelco dealer in Toronto Canada.

“It’s just one of many innovations the company has pioneered over the years.”

But despite their stellar history of building innovative excavators, up to this year RoadEx had never operated a single Kobelco machine. “We’ve purchased and operated excavators from Cater-

Page 3 pillar, Case, John Deere, Volvo and Komatsu,” said Ernie. “We’re always looking for an edge to compete against the big fleets around town. Paul Ambler, our salesman at Robert Green Equipment, finally convinced us to demo a Kobelco 350.”

That meant the patriarch of the family, Ernie’s dad Joe, got first dibs during their test run. “The next day, Ernie gives me a call and tells me right off they don’t like the Kobelco,” remembers Bob Green. “But before I could respond he adds ‘we love it’ and I knew we had a sale.”

There were three things that won Joe, Ernie and the other operators over as they put the 350 through its paces during the trial: smoothness of operation through every manoeuvre they attempted, overall operation comfort, and fuel economy that was up to 40% better than what they were used to seeing in the other excavation equipment they operated.

“The combined benefits means greater productivity on the job site for us,” summarized Ernie. “But Continued on page 5

New Holland’s new CR Series combines raise harvesting to a whole new level: up to 15% more productivity, grain crackage as low as 0.2%, and the ultimate comfort cab.

New Holland raises Harvesting stakes With New Cr Combine series And New 16 row Corn Head New Holland’s new CR Series combines raise harvesting to a whole new level: up to 15% more productivity, grain crackage as low as 0.2%, and the ultimate comfort cab.

The brand new Harvest Suite Ultra cab is larger and offers more glass than

previous models. The model series is topped by the CR10.90 Elevation, the most powerful CR model ever, with the highest power in the industry that delivers outstanding performance.

CR Elevation Combine “The new CR Series

is the culmination of 40 years of Twin Rotor technology,” stated Dan Valen, New Holland North America Cash Crop Equipment Segment Manager. “It offers the best of New Holland’s smart harvesting technologies: Twin Pitch rotors, Dynamic Feed

Roll, SmartTrax rubber tracks, Tier 4B ECOBlue Hi-eSCR engine technologies - all working together to allow producers to harvest in a new dimension.

All this is coupled with the Harvest Suite Ultra cab that defines harvesting comfort. You couldn’t ask for more.”

proven Twin Rotor technology, which is designed for high-capacity harvesting, delivering high outputs and superior grain quality.

The Dynamic Feed Roll on-the-go mechanical stone protection system further raises the CR’s massive capacity by feeding the rotors faster and more smoothly while removing stones with no stopping or hesitation.

The new serrated blades on the roll are gentle on the crop, resulting in highquality grain.

CR Series combines work seamlessly in tough crop conditions with the Twin Pitch rotors, which can raise productivity by up to 10% in damp conditions. Switching between small grain/corn configurations to harvest rice is easy. The redesigned adjustable rotor vanes require less power in high-volume crops and consistently deliver high capacity.

The SmartTrax rubber tracks, optional on all models ensure excellent traction and low soil compaction, while providing a silky, smooth ride.

Massive power, extensive autonomy, vast grain tank: productivity reaches new heights, increasing by up to 15% The CR Series combines offer more horsepower than ever: from 401 hp

October 2014 of the CR6.90 to the massive 653 hp of the flagship CR10.90 Elevation.

The entire series features the Tier 4B ECOBlue HieSCR technology (CR9.90 Elevation model features Tier4A ECOBlue SCR technology), while the flagship CR10.90 Elevation is equipped with the Diesel Of The Year 2014 Cursor 16 engine which features Common Rail technology for precision fueling and outstandingly responsive performance, resulting in constant, high productivity in all field conditions.

New Holland’s highly efficient ECOBlue technology delivers impressive fuel savings, reducing running costs and extending further the already extensive autonomy given by the ample fuel tank - 340 gallons in the CR8.90 and CR9.90 models, CR9.90 Elevation and CR10.90 Elevation models. The extra-long 34-foot folding unloading auger on the larger models is a match for the widest heads.

The grain tank’s high capacity - ranging from 315 bushels in the, CR6.90 and CR7.90 to 410 bushels in the CR8.90, CR9.90, CR9.90 Elevation and CR10.90 Elevation - combined with the lightning fast unloading speed of up to 4.0 bushels/second, and the extensive autonomy, mean that no second is wasted during the day; productivity soars by up to 15% and does not waiver until the job is done.

Harvest Suite Ultra cab: designed for ultimate harvesting comfort Designed in consultation with customers, the new Harvest Suite Ultra cab defines harvesting comfort. The ample, 131 cu. ft. cab is larger than its predecessor, and the interior layout has been entirely redesigned to further improve ergonomics and comfort. The new force-based CommandGrip multifunction handle is intuitive to use and makes it easy to fine tune harvesting speed to optimize performance. The new harvesting console is designed to become an extension of the operator.

The ultra-wide 10.4inch IntelliView IV colour touchscreen monitor puts all key parameters at the operator’s fingertips and is fixed on rollers so that it can be moved to the most Continued on page 7

the fuel savings alone allows us to now bid on and win projects we traditionally might not have gotten.”

Choosing to purchase the smaller, more nimble Kobelco 260SR is a case in point for gaining profitable new demolition and site prep work for RoadEx. “Other short tail excavators have a tendency to be so neutrally balanced that they’re like a rocking horse to operate,” said RoadEx operator Jason Rorsion. “The 260SR is the first short rear swing machine I’ve operated where I don’t have to slow down in even the tightest of spaces.”

Demolishing the allbrick building was quickwork for the 260SR. The maximum digging height of 36’9” and digging reach of 32’4” combined with the compact swing capability provided ample power and control for the RoadEx operators to topple the building safely and quickly. After a while, even the onlookers were convinced their structures weren’t going to be affected by the work being completed.

The full-size Kobelco cab was another welcome surprise for the RoadEx operators. “In other short tail machines, I’m lucky if I can fit a sandwich in the cab with me,” said Jason. “The Kobelco 260SR has the same full size cab as the 350 with plenty of room to store my lunch pail, construction hard hat, and a whole bunch of other stuff.”

But the greatest number of comments Bob Green has heard from his newest customer has been the fuel-sipping technologies Kobelco has included in their complete excavator line. “We received a call from one of the RoadEx operators saying he thought the fuel gauge was broken because it wasn’t going down fast enough,” recounted Kobelco dealer Green. “We told him to check the liters per hour rating and he was amazed it showed 2.1.”

“With our new Kobelcos, we’re saving thousands of dollars a week on fuel,” said Ernie. “Fuel use is consistently lower across all modes of operation.” Fuel consumption boosts productivity, too.

“On the other excavators, as soon as the fuel gauge hits the one-quarter mark I have to call for a refueling truck,” said Jason.

“With Kobelco excavators, I know I can finish out the day’s work without a worry.” Even when that day’s work is in the tightest of spaces.

RoadEx Contracting Ltd was established in 1977 to provide excavation and grading work for general contractors and design build firms in Toronto. The three-generation, family-owned owner operator company specializes in earthworks, from site remediation to bulk excavation, and is also an expert in demolition services for the commercial and residential sectors. In the last year, the company has more than tripled the size of their business.

Robert Green Equipment started business in 1982 and became an authorized Kobelco dealer in 1991. He has served the Toronto metropolitan and surrounding area as an exclusive Kobelco dealer ever since, and averages selling between 35 and 40 Kobelco excavators each year. b

Two new Tier 4-compliant Doosan excavators are now available in the United States and Canada — the DX300LC-5 and DX350LC-5 — featuring improvements in fuel efficiency, productivity and durability. Replacing the DX300LC-3 and DX350LC-3 models respectively, the new Doosan crawler excavators have new engine modifications and aftertreatment technologies to meet Tier 4 emissions regulations.

Tier 4 engine configuration Doosan 271-horsepower DX300LC-5 and 318-horsepower DX350LC-5 excavators are powered by Scania diesel

engines that have been configured with a HighPressure Common-Rail (HPCR) fuel delivery system as well as Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR). Doosan also added a Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor and exhaust brake to the engine to help meet Tier 4 emission standards.

The mass airflow sensor allows the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to improve the management of airflow provided by the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), and to optimize fuel delivery to the combustion chamber based on air intake volume and rpm. The VGT is utilized to enhance boost pressure through-

out a wide rpm range of the engine, resulting in improved fuel efficiency at lower rpms. This also generates higher torque levels and faster engine response even at low rpm, and improves machine performance in the Standard and Economy power modes while saving fuel.

The exhaust brake helps to maintain consistent engine temperatures at lower engine speeds to improve operating efficiency. Consistent engine temperatures reduce harmful emission levels in the exhaust when the engine is running at lower rpms. Under normal operation, with high rpms, the exhaust brake is inactive.

horsepower, improving machine efficiency, productivity and fuel consumption, as well as refining machine control and enhancing operator comfort. A pressure controlled pump, closed centre main control valve and various sensors in the excavator electronically detect and control the precise amount of hydraulic oil required to perform a task.

Four power modes Similar to previous Doosan excavators, operators can choose from four power modes for more control to better balance fuel consumption and machine power to the working conditions.

Power modes include the following: • Power+ mode: delivers the fastest workgroup speeds for loadAftertreatment ing trucks, top digging technologies performance and extra New Tier 4 compliant power for digging in Doosan excavators combine Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) to reduce engine emission levels. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used with SCR technology and stored in a DEF tank near the front-left corner (opposite of the operator station) of Doosan crawler excavators. The DOC transform Particulate Matter (PM) emissions into harmless water and carbon dioxide. DEF is injected into the exhaust system to transform the nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced during combustion into water and nitrogen.

When harvesting continues into the night, the lighting package is precision engineered to ensure perfect visibility of the entire header and the field ahead. An unloading auger light for precision unloading and four rear work lights mean farmers can continue to work long after dark just as efficiently, as during the day, in order to get the job done right. HID and LED packages are

available.

A perfect match: designed to deliver improved harvesting productivity and reliability To match the capacity of the largest of the CR Series combines, New Holland launches a new 16- row version of the 980CR Series of corn heads. Available in a 30- inch row spacing configuration, this model includes all the performance and convenience features already recognized on the 980 Series corn heads. Redesigned dividers and points better follow ground con-

tours and actively feed laid crop to collect every kernel. Replaceable wear strips and self-supporting gas struts make adjustment and servicing easier.

“New Holland has been committed to equipping our customers with product advancements, new technology and solutions for well over a century,” says Valen. “The 16-row CR980CR corn head and the CR combine line are just some of the many new product innovations to be introduced in 2014.

50 million Tree program Grows Its reach To Northern Ontario Trees Ontario, the forest restoration arm of Forests Ontario, recently announced the expansion of the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program into northern Ontario. Until recently, the program focused its efforts on regions in southern Ontario with goals of re-greening settled landscapes and helping to fight climate change. Since the program’s inception in 2008, Trees Ontario has planted more than 15 million trees with an ultimate goal of planting 50 million trees by 2025.

The expansion kicked off on May 23rd with the first northern tree plant in Desbarats, Ontario at the Archibald Homestead.

Led by Brent Attwell at REGEN Forestry with full support by the Kensington Conservancy, the plant saw volunteers, including elementary students from Johnson-Tarbutt Central

School in Debarats, plant 2,000 trees on the property. This event was followed by a larger planting effort over the following days that achieved a total of 10,500 trees planted overall. The plant sought to restore abandoned agricultural land at the Homestead to support conservation and restoration efforts in regions maintained by the Conservancy.

“We are always excited to see so many come out to re-green their communities,” said Rob Keen, Trees Ontario CEO. “Since the beginning of the 50 Million Tree program, we’ve had thousands of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds join us across dozens of communities. Now that the program has expanded its reach, we hope to bring together more Ontarians, especially our youth, in creating a greener and healthier future for all of us.”

Among the planters

was Peter Gagnon, Trees Ontario’s newest Field Advisor supporting Forests Ontario’s northern Ontario programs. Gagnon indicated that the program’s extended reach may take time to develop, but that growth will ultimately benefit the province, noting, “It is exciting to be able to implement the 50 Million Tree Program across the province and promote forest stewardship on a larger scale.”

The task ahead is to work with local forestry consultants to identify potential Planting Delivery Agents (PDAs), such as conservation authorities, forestry consultants and local municipalities, to assist with project delivery. The PDAs, in turn, will help to connect with potential landowners who qualify for planting subsidies under the program.

Reception thus far has been very positive and

Gagnon confirms that new PDAs have already agreed to take part in areas such as Dryden and Timmins.

Many regions in northern Ontario have significant areas of under-utilized marginal farmland that may be suitable for restoration, including Manitoulin Island, New Liskeard, Fort Frances, Thunder Bay and Dryden. “Significant tree planting subsidies provided by the 50 Million Tree Program can help landowners increase property value, improve water quality, and enhance wildlife habitat, among other benefits,” says Gagnon.

Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, welcomed the expansion of the 50 Million Tree Program into northern Ontario as a major step forward in achieving the Ministry’s overall goals. Mauro remarked, “We are committed to Continued from page 7

hand console. A work mode icon displays on the monitor after the operator presses the mode button.

Fuel savings New Tier 4 compliant Doosan excavators feature improved fuel efficiency to help owners reduce operating costs. For example, a Tier 4 compliant DX350LC-5 excavator has a 10 percent fuel savings from the equivalent Tier 3 model. For further fuel savings, auto shutdown helps owners save fuel during non-working conditions. When enabled, the feature will shut down the excavator’s engine after a preset idle time.

For example, the operator can configure the idle time from 3 to 60 minutes.

For operators in California, auto shutdown helps meet the state’s regulations of idling for only five minutes for off-highway machines.

Display enhancements An improved 7-inch LCD display panel allows operators to continue monitoring the excavator parameters while viewing the rearview and/or side view camera image. Critical machine data appears next to the camera view.

With an optional side camera, a split screen allows both camera displays to be viewed at once. New additions to the monitor include the DEF gauge and fuel efficiency.

protecting and expanding Ontario’s rich biodiversity. Our forests are crucial as they help fight climate change, clean the air, increase wildlife habitat and prevent floods.

Our Government will continue to work with Trees Ontario to help grow Ontario’s forests.”

Ultimately, the program’s growth will contribute to Trees Ontario’s ongoing efforts to promote forest stewardship and support sound forest manage-

ment practices on private lands. Together with the government of Ontario, Trees Ontario will now administer the 50 Million Tree Program across the entire province with a goal to support healthy and sustainable forests.

New machine updates In addition to auto shutdown and LCD display panel updates, the new Doosan DX300LC-5 and DX350LC-5 crawler excavators have the following updates: • Improved serviceability for uptime protection • Auto belt tensioner: fan and air conditioning • Anti-skid plates for better traction on steps and other walking surfaces • Enhanced access to the emergency engine stop • Battery and alternator upgrades to minimize downtime • For greater operator comfort, the floor pedal angle has been improved by 10 degrees.

Options Some factory-installed options for the new DX300LC-5 and DX350LC-5 crawler excavators include the following: • Additional work lamps • Cab guarding for special applications • Diesel-powered coolant heater for cold starts • Rotate circuit hydraulic piping • Straight travel pedal, which allows the operator to travel in a straight line more easily • Two-way auxiliary hydraulic pedal (in addition to joystick control) Durability In an effort to minimize downtime, Doosan excavators have standard features that ensure their

durability, even when operating in harsh conditions. These features include a robust and reliable track tensioning system. Improvements made during the launch of the Dash-3 models, such as larger bushings in track rollers and thicker sprocket teeth, are evident in the Dash-5 models. Also carried over from Dash-3 models are added reinforcement plates and increased plate thickness to the excavators’ boom and arm.

Doosan Telematics Doosan DX300LC-5 and DX350LC-5 crawler excavators come with a standard three-year subscription to telematics, commonly known as “machine intelligence.”

Telematics allows equipment owners to monitor machine location, hours, fuel usage, engine idle versus work time, error codes, and engine and hydraulic temperatures.

Owners and fleet managers can monitor their machines remotely after they log in to a website account.

Mustang R Series Skid Loaders Mustang is proud to announce the all-new mid-frame R Series Radial-Lift Skid Steer Loaders. These include three new models: the 1350R (replacing the 2041), the 1500R (replacing the 2044), and the 1650R (replacing the 2054). These skid loaders feature an allnew operator station with an integrated digital display, new load arm design with increased visibility, Yanmar-powered Tier IV engines and several serviceability enhancements.

The 1350R, 1500R and 1650R radial-lift skid steer loaders fall into the midframe category, bringing unparalleled versatility to the jobsite. When equipped with optional counterweights, the rated operating capacities range from 1,500 lbs. (680 kg) on the 1350R to 1,800 lbs.

(816.5 kg) on the 1650R. Lift heights reach up to

119” (3023 mm) on the 1500R and 1650R. These mid-size skid steer loaders come equipped with emissions compliant Tier IV Yanmar engines that incorporate DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) technology. This engine technology is environmentally sound and does not require fuel aftertreatments, such as urea.

optimum performance.

GENESIS T8 Tractor with SmartTrax “SmartTrax-equipped T8 Series tractors have been developed to deliver the proven versatility of a wheeled tractor with the enhanced traction and flotation of rubber tracks,” says Dan Valen, Cash Crop Marketing Segment Leader. “The rubber tracks are matched to large diameter front wheels to deliver excellent maneuverability and to overcome some of the issues that may arise with conventional twin tracked vehicles. A key feature of SmartTrax is the ability to turn tightly and cleanly at the headland.

This improves versatility as the tractor is also suitable for top work, such as spraying and top dressing.”

Optimized flotation and traction with minimized soil disturbance Designed by New Holland specifically for high power applications, SmartTrax is offered on the top three models in the T8 Tier 4B Series. A GENESIS T8 SmartTrax has a larger contact patch with the soil, enhancing traction and reducing ground pressure and compaction.

The contact patch of the 24-inch SmartTrax system is up to 65% greater than a 710/75R42 single rear tire set. The 18-inch SmartTrax system is 35% larger than a set of 480/95R50 rear duals. The reduced ground pressure allows earlier access to drying land and can provide extended working late in the season with a reduced risk of damage to the structure of the soil.

GENESIS T8 SmartTrax tractors benefit from wheeled tractor agility. Topsoil disturbance in a tight headland turn is minimized, with the rear tracks following the path of the front tires without forming a “berm” ridge. The combination of wheeled front axle and rear tracks enables a New Holland GENESIS T8 SmartTrax tractor to operate at full power in turns around wet field areas or on the headlands. This full power capability is a key advantage over twin tracks, which shut down power in one track to make the turn, when full power can get you through the tough working conditions.

Purpose-developed high clearance, high torque front and rear axles Purpose-developed axles have the high strength build required to transfer high power and torque to the ground as well as carry heavy loads. The front axle is designed to transfer full power to large diameter wheels while still allowing a 55º turn angle. This ensures a GENESIS T8 SmartTrax can turn tightly for optimum productivity.

Up to seven different working widths By offering a choice of undercarriage, New Holland GENESIS T8 SmartTrax tractors can be specified to offer a choice of working widths, with track spacing choices of between

76- and 152-inches (1930to 3960mm). The actual track width can also be matched to suit specific needs: “conventional” narrow undercarriage models have a choice of 16-, 18or 24-inch (400-, 460- or 610mm) tracks. For use in more extreme conditions, to include steep terrain or extremely wet conditions, wide undercarriage models are offered with a choice of 24- or 30-inch (610- or 760mm) tracks.

Choice of Auto Command CVT or Power Command full powershift transmission The proven New Holland Auto Command continuously variable transmission is standard on the T8.435 and an option on the T8.410 with full powershift Power Command as standard. A key advantage of SmartTrax is that the GENESIS T8 models are based upon well-proven platforms that will be familiar to New Holland operators.

Revised fuel tank and cab steps for easy cab access SmartTrax increase the overall height of the tractor. To ensure that ease of access is not compromised, New Holland fit purposedesigned access steps to make getting in out of the cab safe and easier. To accommodate the revised steps, the fuel tank is reprofiled but fuel capacity is the same. b

Total Canada Construction Spending Sum of Latest 10 Years (to 2014)

Front Page Story

Growing Stronger One might think the construction industry took a deep hit in recent years after the 2008-2009 economic meltdown, but a closer look at the numbers tells a different story. By Mark Wolfe

M

easurable growth and streamlined business practices during the past five years postrecession has been the trend in the Canadian nonresidential construction industry, according to the most recent data available from Statistics Canada.

In fact, Statscan reports a $12.92-billion investment in non-residential building construction in the first quarter of 2014, a value that represents $1.79-billion in growth compared to the first quarter of 2009.

“Ask most Albertan contractors about the 2008-2009 recession and they will pause to try and remember those days. Fortunately, activity is so robust today as to put it far out of their memory,” says Michael Mangum, Senior Consultant, FMI Centre for Strategic Leadership.

“Conditions in the East have struggled to shake the effects of what some are calling the Great Recession. Metropolitan Toronto is fully back as numerous cranes dot the sky, yet that

is not broadly shared in the balance of Ontario or in the Maritimes.”

But that does not mean all Eastern Canadian companies struggled.

“We actually grew through the recession,” says Cory Bell, President of Dartmouth, NS-based Lindsay Construction. “It created opportunity for us because there was less work prior to stimulus, and we have a solid reputation with trade contractors which allowed us to become more competitive.”

Bell says his company is currently active in Newfoundland with the construction of a $13-million light industrial commercial building for a developer who will be servicing the off-shore market. The company is also in the design phase for a $20-million multipurpose eight-storey building in downtown Halifax, and is in the earliest stages of an undisclosed $45-million project.

“I do believe that the construction industry is much more sophisticated

today than it was back prerecession. There would have been a lot of handshake deals and verbalized communication versus written communication,” Bell says. “One of the biggest differences really is document control, and control of the information by all the key stakeholders.”

Other non-residential construction companies in Canada share a similar resiliency.

“During the recession, clients were reluctant to commit, and funding became more difficult for clients to source,” says Chris Collison, Vice President, Construction, at Edmonton, Alberta-based Seko Construction. “We were lucky in that we had a reasonable amount of backlog which kept the business busy during this difficult time.”

Collison says his company is currently putting the finishing touches on a new $15-million head office, warehouse, and shop for a major electrical company in South Edmonton.

Sandvik’s New Prisec TM 3 CI531 & CI532 HSI Crushers The latest additions to the CI500 Prisec Horizontal Shaft Impactor (HSI) range of crushers, the Prisec 3 primary CI531, and the secondary CI532, have been developed to deliver exceptional rates of productivity and efficiency. As with the rest of the Prisec range, these new HSI crushers possess the ability to be configured into either a primary or secondary crusher operating mode and with this unique, exclusive to Sandvik, patented design, providing customers with unparalleled adaptability.

Additionally single stage crushing is also a possibility with the ability to recirculate material to the primary versions of the crushers.

Exceptional reduction ratios Sandvik’s revolutionary all new design of crushing chamber ensures even greater reduction ratios

than have been previously obtainable.

Furthermore the Prisec TM 3 crushers are able to easily produce impressive reduction ratios through the use of two uniquely designed curtains, which have traditionally required a three curtain configuration crusher.

As well as enhanced productivity, this means fewer wear parts and reduced maintenance.

Energy efficient overload protection The CI531 and CI532 Prisec 3 are equipped with an infinite hydraulic curtain adjustment combined with a brake positioning system which relieves pressure, and setting, when un-crushable objects enter the crusher.

No hydraulic power is required during normal operation, thus saving on operating power and reducing total power consumption. Both first and

second curtains are infinitely adjustable via the Sandvik’s patented adjustment / braking system which is located on the cross beams of the crusher. This system gives hydraulic adjustment of both curtains, via the standard supply electric hydraulic power pack.

Dealing with crusher blockages Crusher blockages have always historically been a problem, especially when operating in a primary mode. Removal of the blockage, with the combined downtime and health and safety risks encountered, are now eliminated with the new generation Prisec 3 crusher. Due to the exceptional features of the crushers no stopping of the crusher is necessary, with no operator intervention inside the crusher, no heavy lifting gear required, all resulting in maximum

uptime and reduced health and safety problems.

Rotor and hammer design The rotor and hammers can be considered as the heart of the crusher; this is why those used on the Prisec 3 range are both robust and efficient. Rotors have superior weight and design, essential for delivering the high inertia required for optimum crusher performance, thus ensuring stability and smooth operation during production. The unique “banana” shaped self-sharpening hammer design helps to keep the contact heads sharper during operation, resulting in more effective shearing of the incoming material, and hence improved production.

Easy and safe

maintenance A unique key safety interlock system ensures safe maintenance of the crusher and prevents accidental opening of the crusher and inspection doors even in multiple installations. It also allows the ability to raise curtains during operation without stopping the crusher to clear blockages, and re-set automatically to operating setting. This maximizes uptime and reduces the need for heavy lifting gear and operator / maintenance intervention, thereby reducing further Health & Safety risks.

Maximum uptime, Maximum breakage Through the modularized nature of the Prisec 3 range, wear parts can be turned for maximum life/usage with the same

Preparing for an Equipment Auction: Tips for Buyers and Seller Used equipment auctions provide buyers and sellers an opportunity to acquire and dispose of a wide range of heavy equipment. Leading up to the big day, buyers and sellers should make sure they are prepared to ensure an efficient and successful transaction.

Tips for Equipment Buyers • Learn the rules of the auction Rules can vary from auction to auction so every buyer should be aware of how the auction is operated to avoid confusion. For instance, buyers will likely need to register for the auction ahead of time and there may be minimum bid requirements. Look for an auction company that offers customer support to help with any issues that arise before, during and after the auction.

• Determine what equipment to purchase Buyers should review their fleets so that they can go into an auction with a

list of current inventory.

This reduces the chance of purchasing a machine that isn’t needed or missing out on an opportunity to buy a great piece of equipment. Think about upcoming projects to determine if additional pieces of core equipment will be needed or if specialty equipment is essential.

• Research the value of the desired equipment Buyers are better prepared when they understand the current value of the machines they’re interested in. Take note of the selling price for machines with similar year, make, model and hours. If the bidding goes well over these selling prices, consider waiting for another piece of equipment. It’s important for buyers to set a budget and keep it in mind during the auction.

Tips for Equipment Sellers • Understand market trends Before disposing of a machine, a seller should

take a look at how the market is performing. Although there is steady demand for used heavy equipment, there can be peaks for certain types of equipment depending on the time of year. Many organizations look to acquire equipment at the beginning of the year to prepare for spring and summer projects. A seller should consider the benefit of selling now versus waiting and be aware of the current value of their equipment.

• Pick the best selling platform for the business’ needs Today, businesses have more options than ever for selling their equipment.

Many are turning to online auctions because they are convenient and don’t require equipment to be moved until it is sold. Sellers can also reach a wider audience because they can tap into buyers located around the world. Online auctions are also held more frequently than traditional auctions. A seller should

weigh the pros and cons of every marketplace, and choose the option that works best for his or her unique needs.

• Clean equipment It’s important to present a good looking machine at auction to attract interest.

Cleaning the interior and exterior of the equipment is critical so that you don’t put off potential buyers and negatively impact the price.

• Make repairs and adjust-

ments if necessary Sellers may want to make minor repairs in order to increase the resale value of a piece of equipment. This includes fixing broken glass, replacing lights and making steering and wheel alignments.

Any abnormal wear or malfunctions that will require a large investment should be weighed. Sometimes the resale value will not provide enough net profit for a seller, but oth-

Monumental in scale, this landmark 104-story tower features 3,500,000 square feet of space that will accommodate activities vital to the nation’s economy.

Taking advantage of innovative construction materials, One World Trade Center is designed to be the safest and most environmentally friendly commercial building in the world.

The structure includes a massive cast-in-place, reinforced concrete inner core that runs the full height of the tower — an extra-strong backbone that provides support for gravitational loads as well as resistance

to wind and seismic forces.

The concrete core walls measure three feet thick or more above ground and up to twice that below grade.

Higher up, the concrete core walls slim down to two feet thick.

The 200,000 cubic yards of concrete used in the tower’s superstructure-with a strength that has never been used on such a scale in building constructionwas custom-designed to ensure high levels of durability, constructability and sustainability.

Supporting columns on the first 40 floors were made from 12,000- to 14,000-psi selfconsolidating concrete and the upper floors with 8,600to 10,000-psi mix designs.

To meet the compressive strength requirements, the design and engineering team relied on a highly specialized concrete mix that included Lafarge Portland Type I/II and NewCem slag

Engineered for high strength and longterm durability, NewCem slag cement helps achieve greater strength potential and helps control shrinkage, creep and cracking in mass concrete structures.

High-strength concrete was the ideal material for meeting the high-priority safety requirements for One World Trade Center because key supporting members-such as elevator and stair enclosuresoften relied upon to resist wind, seismic and other impact forces, are designed with an extra measure of durability and resilience.

The concrete also made a strong contribution to the sustainable design of the building, which is expected to receive LEED Gold certification when it opens later this year. In addition, the tower was constructed with mostly post-industrial recycled materials, including the NewCem slag cement, which is a by-product of the steel-making process. b

WOLFF 166 B In Use At The Maximiliansplatz, Munich Sky rocketing property prices for years on end have not detracted from the popularity of Munich’s old town. New living and work areas are in demand like never before. A new office building is currently being built in an exclusive setting on the heritage-listed Maximiliansplatz. The building was fully leased even before construction began in 2013. The general contractor, Riedel Bau GmbH & Co. KG from Lower Franconia, rented one of WOLFFKRAN’s most modern cranes for the construction of the building shell: the WOLFF 166 B with hydraulic luffing gear.

The luffing crane impresses on this city construction site mainly because of its compactness. “The site is very cramped on all sides,” explains Ulrich Langenbein, Deputy Sales Director at WOLFFKRAN Germany, regarding the biggest challenge of the project. “With construction work underway on adjacent sites, there are cranes all over the place that we have to

watch out for,” continues Mr. Langenbein. In addition to its flat-top design that does away with the traditional rope luffing gear and its compact steel counterweights, the biggest advantage of the 166 B is its jib, which can be raised to an almost vertical position.

“Because of its design, the WOLFF can slew in the minimum of space without projecting beyond the site, meaning that we can work without any danger of collision. There is also no danger when the crane is not in use owing to the very steep out-of-service position of the jib,” says Norbert Zährl, Site Manager for Riedel Bau. The construction company from Schweinfurt has five WOLFF cranes in its fleet and has been a convinced customer of the Heilbronn premium manufacturer for many years.

Space saving, full performance Despite its compactness, the WOLFF delivers a remarkable performance when it comes to lifting of concrete and structural

Brandt’s New Hydraulic Quick Coupler For Compact Excavators Brandt Equipment Solutions Ltd. is now in full production of our new Compact Excavator Hydraulic Quick Coupler. This innovative new coupler is sold exclusively for the Deere 27D, 35D, 35G, 50D, 50G, 60D and 60G Compact Excavators.

Unveiled at the 2014 ConExpo event in Las Vegas, all of the coupler’s features were showcased at the largest show in the industry. The response from Deere dealers and contractors is extremely positive as this exciting new product fills a long standing need within the Deere Compact Excavator lineup.

Productivity is everything in today’s construction industry, and Brandt’s new coupler is designed to be safe, quick, and conve-

nient to make your operation more efficient.

• Operators never have to leave the cab in order to change attachments.

• Installation is a breeze with the control kit designed specifically for each machine.

• Plug and play; the electrical harness supplied comes cut to length with quick connectors already installed.

• Cab controls are easily integrated into the Deere interior not only to maintain a factory looking appearance, they are conveniently located at your fingertips.

• Designed to pick up Brandt lugged attachments as well as the factory Deere attachments.

Safety is essential on every job site, and Brandt’s new Hydraulic Quick Cou-

components at the Munich site: It has a maximum lifting capacity of 12 tons in the 2-fall operation, a tip load capacity of 3.4 tons with a 45 meter jib and a maximum lifting speed of 87 m/min. The loadsensing control of the luffing gear regulates the luffing speed according to the load. So the 166 B only needs a comparably small 22 kW motor to reach a luffing time of 90 seconds.

The 166 B scores further points on the city-center building site when it comes to the assembly. The hoist rope winch is designed so that the complete jib can be easily pre-assembled on the ground. The luffing crane could also be erected on a lower tower height than would have been the case with a saddle jib crane, which saved additional time. Earlier this year, the construction site team erected the WOLFF 166 B in just one day – yet another plus given the tight schedule of the construction project, which is due for completion at the beginning of 2015. b pler offers an abundance of safety features all designed to keep your work site as safe as possible.

• Wedge is engaged with mechanical pressure in order to prevent dropping attachments in the event of a hydraulic failure.

• Patented automatic safety locking system provides an extra level of protection does not require the operator to leave the cab.

• Pressure sensing audible alarm in the cab.

• Visual LED warning light in the cab.

• Fail-resistant control valve design.

Brandt Equipment Solutions Ltd. designs and manufactures the most innovative attachment and guarding solutions for John Deere Construction and Forestry equipment. A highly talented and experienced design team works closely with customers to achieve productive solutions for all their heavy equipment needs. b
