Komatsu Launches First Intelligent Machine Control Dozer Komatsu America Corp. recently introduced the D61EXi/PXi-23, Komatsu’s first intelligent Machine Control model to the North American market. Thanks to its first fully automatic blade control, the D61i-23 dozer can perform not only finish grading, which has been possible with conventional Machine Control, but also rough dozing. As a result, it achieves outstanding improvement in productivity. This is the first machine using this new innovative technology, and it is scalable to other products manufactured by Komatsu.

“We are excited to bring to market the next generation of machine control technology with Komatsu’s “intelligent Machine Control D61i-23,” said Peter Robson, Director of Intelligent Machine Controls.

“The ease with which the D61i-23 transitions from rough dozing to finish grading with automatic blade control engaged is so seam-

less that both experienced and inexperienced operators will notice benefits.”

Robson continued, “The efficiency improvement, greater value and simplicity of operation of the D61i23 exemplify the leading innovations that customers have come to expect from Komatsu.”

Longer track-on ground standard (EX) and low ground pressure (PX) models are available to offer customers flotation and weight distribution options that best match their applications. Operating weights range from 39,441 lbs. to 41,381 lbs. depending on the configuration with a net 168HP at 2200 rpm.

The D61i-23 also features the integration of Komatsu’s proprietary KOMTRAX (Komatsu Machine Tracking System) and TOPCON’s construction management system.

In the near future, this integrated system will enable high-efficiency, unified

management of construction work through access to real-time machine data, via its web service, to track work progress including the amount of soil dozed at jobsites.

Innovative: Fully Automatic Blade Control For Rough And Fine Dozing While crawler dozers have been able to perform high-precision finish grading after installing an add-on machine control system, the D61i-23 can perform rough dozing as well as finish grading in automatic mode, thanks to its fully automatic blade control. When rough dozing, the automatic blade control monitors blade load and adjusts blade elevation to minimize track slip and perform high-efficiency dozing. As work progresses closer to the target finish grade, the automatic blade control adjusts accordingly to provide finish grade per-

formance with high-level precision. Improvement in combination rough dozing efficiency is up to 13% higher compared to add-on machine control systems.

“The innovation is not only that Komatsu can provide the customer with ful-

ly automatic blade control for automatic rough dozing and efficiency improvement,” states Robson, ”but also that Komatsu is able to offer this technology while maintaining finish grade performance in the D61 dozer size class which is one of the most popular

(Global Navigation Satellite System) antenna, enhanced inertial measuring unit (IMU+), and stroke sensing hydraulic cylinders. These components along with the machine control monitor and controllers mounted inside of the cab are installed at the Komatsu manufacturing facility during machine assembly, ensuring a quality installation with reliability.

“The integrated sensor package is not only robust and accurate but also eliminates the daily hassles of installing/removing GNSS antenna(s) and cable(s) from the blade, plus the wear associated with it,” explains Robson. “The famed quality and customer support our customers have come to rely on with Komatsu machines is now extended to the machine control system itself in the case of the D61i-23.”

Intelligence: Enhancements For Optimized Performance Inside the cab, customer selectable dozing modes allow system response to be tailored to the current machine operation for optimized performance. Similarly, blade load settings are

adjustable between pre-sets to match actual material conditions. Pass to pass, the intelligent Machine Control system can be left with the automatic blade control engaged because of its ability to precisely automate the lowering of the blade at the start of a pass and raise it at the end of a pass.

When the machine travels around the job site, the cab top GNSS antenna collects accurate surface data by measuring actual elevations. The stroke sensing angle cylinder measures the actual angle of the blade for high precision grading accuracy on crossslope, blade angled or not.

Robson concludes, “The included value of all the added intelligence features on top of innovation and integration really drives up the value proposition, for both existing machine control users and new machine control users.”

KOMTRAX The D61i-23 crawler dozer is equipped with the latest KOMTRAX technology, which is fully integrated with Komatsu’s Tier 4 technology and sends machine operating information to a secure website utilizing wireless technology.

Hour meter, location, cautions, load ratio, fuel consumption and maintenance alerts – to name a few of its features – are relayed to the web application for analysis. The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft (compared to machines not KOMTRAX-equipped), allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency and productivity.

Customer peace-of-mind is standard because of Komatsu CARE Komatsu remains focused on lowering the customer’s ownership costs by engineering machines with increased fuel efficiency and productivity. Komatsu CARE complimentary scheduled maintenance is standard on the D61EXi/ PXi-23 crawler dozers for the earlier of 3 years or 2000 hours. Services are performed by factory certified technicians using only Komatsu genuine parts and fluids. Also included are complimentary KDPF exchanges at 4,500 hours and 9,000 hours in the first five years. b

Nova Scotia Home Builder To Participate In EcoENERGY Innovation Initiative Provident Development has been selected as one of five Canadian builders chosen to be part of a national initiative to develop net-zero homes. As a part of this project, Provident Development has agreed to plan and build a minimum of five net-zero energy homes by 2016.

Over $4 million in funding and in-kind contributions from the federal ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative (ecoEII) and the building industry will allow for the construction of at least 25 net-zero energy homes in four provinces: Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. ecoEII will be providing $1.96 million in funding for professional services required for the planning, design and construction of the houses. The remaining funds will come from Owens Corning Canada, builders and the building industry in the form of in-kind contributions

tive is a natural extension of this work.

“We are excited about participating in this new initiative and furthering our efforts in acceptable consumer design and the use of cost-effective products and procedures,” says John Greenough, President, Provident Development. “We believe this is the future of the energy efficient housing industry and look forward to providing input to create net-zero housing that will be suitable for production building. This project will hopefully make it possible for more families to share in the benefits of net-zero energy homes.”

Owens Corning Canada is working with five homebuilders to test the feasibility of developing net-zero homes at the community level.

Technical design, planning and training processes are already in progress. Home construction is expected to begin this year. The location for Provident Development homes has not yet been determined. b

to fund the construction of the homes.

The idea of a net-zero energy (NZE) home is that it uses enhanced energy efficiency design strategies to cost effectively reduce energy needs while supplementing with renewable energy technologies, with the result that the building consumes equal to or less energy than it produces on an annual basis.

Building homes with a focus on energy efficiency is not new to Provident Development.

Beginning in 2009, Provident has worked on building homes to the specifications of the federal EnerGuide Program. Since 2010, Provident Development has been the recipient of the Annual Peak award (from the Nova Scotia Home Builders’ Association) for building the most EnerGuide homes in the province.

Thirteen Thousand Trees Planted Canada’s “Parks Day” was in July, and it offered an opportunity to celebrate the living legacy being created by Parks Canada to protect and present Canada’s great outdoor places for present and future generations. This summer, team members at Bruce Peninsula National Park were working full out to restore habitat within the park, creating a better home for wildlife on the Bruce Peninsula.

Created in 1987, Bruce Peninsula National Park did not come fully packaged and assembled.

While a park boundary has been established, many parcels of land within that boundary were owned by private landowners. The park has been acquiring property on a willing seller, willing buyer basis ever since.

Properties that the park is slowly acquiring are places where people have lived, farmed, or worked.

Parks Canada has national standards for the protection, preservation, and presentation of park properties, and Bruce Peninsula National Park is working to bring recently

acquired lands up to these standards. Work this summer has focused on sites that were mostly used for agriculture, but historically, they would have held hardwood forests, which are now relatively rare. By planting over thirteen thousand trees this summer, the park is working to reintroduce hardwood forest on the peninsula. The trees were planted in cooperation with the Grey-Sauble Conservation Authority with substantial assistance from the province of Ontario’s 50 Million Tree Program.

“While we could probably get some great YouTube video by offering a 3 bedroom bungalow to a family of black bears, the park is really focused on creating suitable and connected habitat that will support the diverse range of animals that call the park home,” said Frank Burrows, Superintendent, Bruce Peninsula National

Park. “The work we are doing will help ensure that future generations of Canadians will be able to come here to connect with nature and discover the beauty of an incredible and diverse landscape.”

The active management techniques that the park is implementing are helping to restore the connectivity of natural ecosystems within the park.

Farms, houses, roads and industry create barriers that fragment and affect animal habitat. By re-naturalizing recently acquired property within the park boundaries, these human created barriers are being removed. This will directly benefit wildlife populations like black bear and forest birds by helping to limit predators and invasive species.

Parks Canada works to ensure Canada’s historic and natural heritage is protected and, through a network of 44 national parks, 167 national historic sites, and four national marine conservation areas, invites Canadians and people around the world to engage in personal moments of inspiring discovery at our treasured natural and historic places. b

Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements For Hamilton Harbour Hamilton residents and visitors will now enjoy a cleaner, more natural harbour, thanks to the completion of important improvements to Hamilton’s wastewater treatment infrastructure, including the naturalization of the Windermere Basin. Representatives from the governments of Canada and Ontario, and the City of Hamilton recently gathered to celebrate this important milestone, which contributes to Hamilton Harbour remediation efforts.

“The improved wastewater treatment system and Windermere basin are major achievements in support of the ongoing clean-up of Hamilton Harbour,” said the Honourable Peter Kent, Minister of Environment. “Our government is proud to have invested in cleaning efforts that will help the environment, improve quality of life for Hamilton residents and that has created jobs.”

“Investing in local infra-

structure renewal will build stronger communities and improve Hamilton residents’ daily lives,” said the Honourable Jeff Leal, Minister of Rural Affairs for Ontario.

“The Wastewater Treatment and Windermere Basin projects demonstrate the Ontario government’s ongoing commitment to work with our federal and municipal partners to address the province’s infrastructure priorities.”

“This program of work represents a large-scale project that we could not have completed without the generous support from our federal and provincial partners,” said Hamilton Mayor Bob Bratina. “The Windermere Basin project resulted in the unique creation of new wetland space providing much needed habitat for fish and wildlife. All of these efforts contribute to our local goals for the remediation of Hamilton Harbour.”

The project will enhance

the quality of life for visitors and residents in the City of Hamilton and contribute to public health improvements and the protection of the environment. The positive results of this work will also help remove Hamilton Harbour from the Area of Concern list under the Canada – U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

The project has three components that will contribute significantly to Hamilton Harbour’s clean-up.

First, improvements were made to the Dundas Wastewater Treatment Plant’s disinfection system to ensure the removal of chlorine in the plant’s effluent. Second, new systems were put in place to control the flow of sanitary sewage and stormwater to reduce untreated discharge into Hamilton’s Harbour. Finally, the naturalization of the Windermere Basin – the water body that receives wastewater effluent from the Woodward treatment plant on its way

Page 7 to Hamilton Harbour – has transformed an open body of water with limited natural value into a 13 hectare healthy Great Lakes coastal wetland.

The Government of Canada contributed $35 million toward this project through the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund; the Government of Ontario contributed $15 million, with the City of Hamilton providing the balance of the funding toward the $80 million project.

Canada’s Economic Action Plan 2013 is delivering a New Building Canada Plan to build roads, bridges, subways, commuter rail, and other public infrastructure in cooperation with provinces, territories and municipalities.

Thanks to the Government of Canada’s leadership and our strong economic and financial fundamentals, the Canadian economy has recovered from the global recession better than most other industrialized countries. Canada has been a leader among G-7 countries throughout the recovery with more than 1,000,000 net new jobs created since July 2009.

Linden Comansa Tower Cranes At The Baixo Sabor Hydroelectric Plant, Portugal Since 2008, Energias de Portugal (EDP), the largest electric utility company in the country, has been building the Baixo Sabor hydroelectric plant in the municipality of Torre de Moncorvo. Registered within the National Plan of High Potential Hydroelectric dams, this facility will enter into service in

August 2014, with an installed capacity of 170 MW and generating up to 444 GWh per year. Comprised by two dams, the main one is located upstream of the Sabor River and set 9.5 kilometers apart from the downstream one, that will flood an area over 50 km, thus creating the third largest lake in Portugal.

The temporary consortium Baixo Sabor ACE, formed by Odebrecht / Bento Pedroso Construções and Lena Construções is the company responsible for the construction of the dams, with a budget of over 480 million euros (around 643 million U.S. dollars).

The jobsite will employ up to 1,675 people, with an ex-

cavation volume of around 3,000,000 m3, where a volume of 1,100,000 m3 concrete shall be used.

The magnitude of the project also requires a large amount of machinery. Therefore, Linden Comansa’s official distributor in Portugal, Ibergru, has supplied to the jobsite 15 flat-top tower cranes from the Spanish manufacturer, with maximum load in a range between 5 and 48 tons.

The main plant, located upstream, is a double-curvature dam and will have a height of 123 metres and a width of 505 meters. Four tower cranes are being employed in its construction, all Linden Comansa, model 10LC140, with maximum load capacity of 8 tons.

The assembling of two of these 10LC140 cranes was a challenge due to the difficult accessibility.

However, Ibergru found a solution that allowed to efficiently use the available resources on site, saving other costs. To pour large amounts of concrete, many dams, including Baixo Sabor, use an air transport

system with cables, very similar to the cable car, called blondin in honor of Charles Blondin, a famous French tightrope walker of the 19th century. Ibergru proposed to the site managers the utilization of these blondins in the assembling of the two 10LC140 cranes, a very unusual solution that was not only successful but also cost-effective.

Next to the upstream station, a LC5211 5t tower crane is constructing a building that will be part of the administrative facilities of the dam, and two 5LC5010 with maximum load of 5 ton work as service cranes in the yards that serve as warehouse and workshop of the jobsite materials.

The secondary plant, of gravity type, is located downstream closer to the river’s mouth, will feature a height of 45 meters and a width of 315 meters. The five largest tower cranes working in this project are the following: two 21LC750, with up to 48 tons capacity, and three 21LC550 with maximum load capacity of 18 tons.

Another 5LC5010 with maximum load of 5 tons is working as service crane, helping to manage the machinery and materials required on the site.

In addition, two Linden Comansa 21LC290 cranes, with maximum load capacity of 18 tons, are working in the construction of a new bridge with 268 meters of length and 40 meters of height. Located near the downstream plant, this bridge will allow the EN102 road to cross the river, since the current Portela Bridge will be submerged by the waters.

Ibergru, Linden Comansa’s official distributor in Portugal since 2002, participates in the project not only supplying the rental cranes, but also contributing with its experience in large scale projects and advising the jobsite management in choosing the right equipment for each task. Ibergru has planned, coordinated, and executed all logistics entailed by the erection of the cranes, in conditions of difficult accessibility given the complex topography of the jobsite. b

Front Page Story

Historical Society Preserves Canadian Construction Heritage Those schooled in Canadian history would easily recognize the names Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain. And most (if not all) Canadians would know Sir John A. Macdonald. But how many people have heard of a Baker Manny H Self Loading Scraper?

What about a Koehring 301 Clambucket? By Mark Wolfe

A

lthough our historical forefathers remain important figures in the creation of the country, Canada’s growth and development is also a direct result of the unsung people who laboured with their machines to build the country we know today.

And this story can be found in the hearts and minds of the 350 volunteer members who make up the Historical

Construction Equipment Association of Canada (HCEA), a group formed in 1996 dedicated to preserving the antique equipment of the past while recording the construction history of Canada for the next generation.

The non-profit HCEA has spent the last 17 years expanding and restoring their collection of artifacts, including the horse-drawn

equipment used at the turn of century through to the diesel equipment used in the 1940s and 1950s. With approximately 45 pieces of equipment, 75 per cent of which are operational, some artifacts are the only machines of their kind in existence. “Our circa-1917 Buckeye Trencher is among the oldest pieces of construction equipment still around,” says HCEA

Canada President, Frank Rooney. “We are also very proud to have two built-inMontreal vintage Dominion Shovels in operating condition.” HCEA volunteer members have also spent more than three years restoring a 1929 Adams #10 Grader, a labour of love that required the overhaul of every major component including the engine, transmission, gear boxes, and

moldboard.

Although many of the HCEA members are from the construction sector — operators, mechanics, welders, and others — there are also lawyers, accountants, and teachers who are involved. “Many realize that an effort should be made to preserve our Canadian construction heritage,” Rooney says.

“HCEA Canada provides a unique opportunity.”

The organization operates in partnership with the Simcoe County Museum near Barrie, Ontario. The Museum provides a home for all the equipment, and is the site for shows and demonstrations. In addition to more formal volunteer duties, such as demonstrating and operating the historical equipment for visitors at annual events, members can also serve on a variety of committees, work at the Museum, or

take on a restoration project. Rooney says that there are an unlimited number of tasks to fit every kind of interest and skill level.

“Preservation of heritage is essential,” he says. “As my old uncle used to say, ‘Well, son, hard to tell where you’re going if you don’t know where you came from.’” b

WestJet’s First Q400 NextGen Airliner Bombardier Aerospace and WestJet recently announced the delivery of the first of 20 Q400 NextGen turboprop airliners ordered

by WestJet. The aircraft will be operated by the new regional carrier, WestJet Encore and will serve multiple destinations, beginning in Western Canada in its first year of service.

WestJet also holds options for 25 additional Q400 NextGen aircraft.

Earlier this year, WestJet announced plans to begin service with Encore on June 24, 2013, opening new routes to Fort St. John and Nanaimo, British Columbia, as well as Brandon, Manitoba, on September 3, 2013. Flights to points in Alberta and Saskatchewan are to be added later this year, along with additional flights to cities already served by WestJet. Bombardier Aerospace recently hosted a special

delivery ceremony in Toronto alongside more than 100 WestJetters, including Gregg Saretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer, WestJet and Ferio Pugliese, President, WestJet Encore, and Executive Vice-President, WestJet. Also on site in Toronto, where the Q400 NextGen airliners are manufactured, were Mike Arcamone, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, Simon Roberts, Vice-President and General Manager, Turboprop Programs and the Toronto Site, Bombardier Aerospace and guests from the federal, provincial and municipal governments.

“WestJetters have been looking forward to this moment since the Q400 NextGen demo aircraft touched down in Calgary for the first time last year. Today, we are thrilled that this great Canadian turboprop will be the backbone of West-

Jet Encore’s operations, servicing new destinations and effectively connecting more cities,” Mr. Pugliese said. “With an unmatched balance of speed, comfort, cost efficiencies and highly regarded environmental qualities, the Q400 NextGen aircraft will also allow us to operate more efficiently as we enhance service on more routes. This versatility opens up many new possibilities and options for Canadians, as well as increases the frequency of flights to better serve travellers.”

“It was a delight to see the Q400 NextGen turboprop unveiled in WestJet’s iconic colours as WestJet Encore now officially kicks off its Q400 aircraft’s western-Canada migration,” said Mike Arcamone, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “WestJet has enjoyed remarkable growth since its inception,

and as a productivity machine, our made-in-Canada Q400 NextGen aircraft is well equipped to support that tradition and to meet the needs of both this great Canadian airline and its guests. This very versatile aircraft is efficient on shorthaul missions or can use its speed to reach regional destinations farther afield, making it competitive with jets on longer sectors -- a perfect fit for WestJet.” WestJet began operations in 1996 with 220 employees, three jets and five destinations. Today the airline has more than 9,000 employees, over 103 air-

craft and serves 86 destinations in North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Bombardier has booked firm orders for 468 Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft. Worldwide, Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft have transported more than 243 million passengers and have logged over 4.2 million flight hours and more than 4.5 million takeoffs and landings in service with close to 50 operators in over 30 countries in five continents.

About Q400 NextGen aircraft The Q400 NextGen

turboprop airliner, which is built at Bombardier’s Toronto, Ontario facility, is the most recent development in the evolution of the Q400 aircraft, and the advanced successor to Bombardier’s Dash 8/QSeries family of aircraft.

Optimized for short-haul operations, the “comfortably greener,” 70- to 80seat Q400 NextGen aircraft is a large, fast, quiet and fuel-efficient turboprop. It provides an ideal balance of passenger comfort and operating economics with a reduced environmental footprint. b

Sustainable Materials Make Truck Environmentally Friendly And Tough Ford is proving that pickups can be green and tough by adding rice hulls to the list of sustainable materials used to build F-150 – America’s best-selling truck.

Ford is using plastic reinforced with rice hulls – a byproduct of rice grain – in an electrical harness in the 2014 F-150. The company will need at least 45,000 pounds of hulls in the first year.

“The 2014 F-Series exemplifies our continued efforts to use recycled content in our vehicles,” said John Viera, Ford Global Director of Sustainability and Vehicle Environmental Matters. “We can have greater impact in this case because of the size and sales volume of this product.”

The rice hulls are sourced from farms in Arkansas and will replace a talc-based reinforcement in a polypropylene composite made by RheTech, a Whit-

more Lake, Mich.-based automotive supplier.

“We developed this resin specifically for Ford over the last three years, working with the automaker closely, including in all phases of material qualification,” said David Preston, Director of Business Development for RheTech.

“The whole process has been a rewarding success for both Ford and RheTech, which can add yet another natural-fiber based product to our RheVision line.”

Rice hull-reinforced plastic is the most recent example of Ford researchers and engineers using sustainable material whenever possible in the F-Series – without compromising toughness and durability. F-Series trucks already feature: • Recycled cotton: Used as carpet insulation and a sound absorber; every 2014 F-150 contains enough recycled cotton to make the equivalent

of 10 pairs of jeans; • Soybeans: Used to make seat cushions, seat backs and head restraints; • Recycled carpet: Some F-150 trucks have cylinder head covers made with EcoLon, a nylon resin produced from 100 percent post-consumer recycled carpet; • Recycled tires: A thermoplastic material made from recycled tires and post-consumer recycled polypropylene is used to make shields and some underbody covers on F-150; • Recycled plastic soda pop and water bottles: A lightweight fiber derived from recycled plastic soda pop and water bottles is used to construct F-150 wheel liners and shields. The parts are significantly lighter than traditional injection molded parts and lead to a quieter ride. Select FSeries trucks feature fabric made from recycled

fiber; • Recycled post-industal plastics: Used in interior finish panels, including around radio and climate controls.

Researchers in Dearborn are constantly searching for the next sustainable material that can feasibly be used in Ford vehicles.

Finding a source of material is only the beginning of the process, however, because before making it to production, components made from recycled content must perform as well or better than comparable virgin-grade material.

Materials development engineers at Ford Materials Engineering, Testing and Standards in Dearborn, in conjunction with RheTech, conducted testing of the rice hull material for more than a year, examining everything from smell and appearance to functionality and flammability. The rice hull-based material successfully passed all tests.

With F-Series as America’s best-selling truck for 36 years – averaging more than 650,000 sales per year – the environmental impact of being as sustainable as possible adds up fast. Ford estimates about 10 million pounds of recycled cotton

are used in F-Series trucks annually.

“Fuel economy is a top priority when it comes to Ford’s environmental impact,” says Carrie Majeske, Ford Product Sustainability Manager. “But we also recognize the tremendous impact that can be made by using sustainable materials inside our cars, utilities and trucks.”

The eco-friendly aspects of F-Series extend to the powertrain. The available 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine combines technologies typically associated with heavy-duty truck diesel engines – turbocharging and direct fuel injection – in a gasoline engine. The engine delivers fuel economy gains of up to 20 percent, while reducing CO2 emissions by

up to 15 percent.

Further, the 2014 F-150 equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine will be available this fall with a factory-installed package that allows the engine to operate on either natural gas or gasoline through separate fuel systems.

The complete F-Series Super Duty pickup truck and chassis cab lineup is available with gasoline, diesel, B20, and dedicated compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas capability, or CNG/LPG bi-fuel capability, while Ford F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks can be outfitted for gasoline, biodiesel or CNG/ LPG operation. In addition to biodiesel and CNG/LPG offerings, the 6.2-liter V8 can operate on E85, an ethanol-gasoline mix. b

Équipements FDS Inc. Gets Rolling As Ammann Dealer For Quebec As of July 1, Équipements FDS Inc. has been appointed the exclusive Ammann compaction and paving equipment dealer in the Province of Quebec.

“We are thrilled to add Équipements FDS to our network of dealers across Canada,” says Peter Price, Area Sales Manager of Ammann Canada. “Pierre Boisvert and his experi-

enced staff of industry professionals will not only provide excellent, ongoing service to our existing customer base in Quebec, but will also introduce the Ammann compaction and paving product line to a whole new group of equipment users. We could not be more pleased to now have Équipements FDS in the Ammann Canada family.”

Opened in Terrebonne in 2006, Équipements FDS Inc. is a sister company to the longstanding Quebec and Maritimes crane and lift industry supplier, Consultants F. Drapeau Inc. With large, modern facilities in Terrebonne, just north of Montreal and in Beloeil on the South Shore, Équipements FDS Inc. represents a diverse product offering,

supported by parts and service partners throughout Quebec. Established product lines represented in various geographical markets include Sany cranes and port equipment, Atlas truck cranes, Dieci telehandlers, Altec boom and scissor lifts, Terberg forklifts and Kimble mixers.

The addition of Ammann compaction and paving equipment is “the perfect complement” to the Équipements FDS Inc. product offering, says Pierre Boisvert, FDS Sales Director. “It’s only natural for us to sell a worldrenowned, top-quality

compaction product line like Ammann”, Boisvert explains. “Lifting and compaction equipment are used by our customers at various stages throughout any construction project,” he says. A 30 year veteran of the Quebec construction equipment industry, Boisvert says the addition of Ammann to the Équipements FDS Inc. offering will allow him to introduce the product line to new customers, as well as extend their brand of after sales service and support to the many existing Ammann customers throughout Quebec.

As soon as Équipements FDS Inc. became the authorized Quebec dealer for Ammann, Price and his staff were onsite providing Ammann sales and parts training for the

September 2013 Équipements FDS team.

According to Boisvert, in the first week, Équipements FDS Inc. had already completed two sales to a customer who has come to rely on Équipements FDS Inc. for his lifting equipment and service. Owning a boom truck, two scissor lifts, a telehandler and now two compaction units all from Équipements FDS Inc. makes sense to this particular customer, based three hours north of Montreal, says Boisvert. “He told us, ‘When you send your mechanic to do the maintenance on my machines, he will do all of my machines at once. I don’t want anybody else near my machines’.”

“Wherever an Ammann customer is located in the Province of Quebec, they will have full parts and service from Équipements FDS,” vows Boisvert.

“Our business is based on service.” Going back 40 years with Consultants F. Drapeau, this foundation of equipment maintenance, parts, warranty and certification has resulted in constant sales growth for the organization in recent years. With many customers already relying on Équipements FDS Inc. for their equipment service, the introduction of Ammann to the market has proven a good fit for both customers and the dealer.

He explains, “We’re very confident we’ll have similar strong results with the Ammann compaction and paving equipment as we’ve had with the other products we have launched. We know, like the other product lines, it is a quality product.” b

Certified Tier IV Yanmar Engine Provides Efficient Power Gehl, a leading manufacturer of compact equipment for construction and agriculture applications, headquartered in West Bend, Wisconsin, announces an important engine upgrade on the RS5-19 Telescopic Handler. The EPA certified Tier IV Yanmar 69 hp (51.5 kW) naturally aspirated engine meets the latest emissions standards.

This recently upgraded model is available in North American markets.

The Gehl RS5-19 is designed with a compact frame and tight turning radius of 11 feet (3.35 m), allowing it to manoeuvre in low buildings and confined job sites. The RS5-19 is a low-profile machine with an overall height of 6’4” (1.93 m), making operation in buildings, garages and in confined areas easy.

The boom reaches to a height of 19’1” (5.8 m) and features the same welded box-section design that is on the proven Gehl Dynalift telescopic handlers.

Internal wet disc service brakes are standard equipment, for better stopping capability and longer life.

A SAHR (Spring-Applied, Hydraulic-Release) parking brake, which is automatically applied when the engine is shut off, or manually engaged by pressing a rocker switch, is also standard.

The view from the spaciously designed ROPS/ FOPS canopy is a full 360 degrees. An enclosed cab is optional with front and top windows, a door and a heater/defroster for use in areas where operators need protection from the weather. Optional air-con-

More GO Trains Rolling Out On Lakeshore Lines Ontario will now run more GO Train trips along the Lakeshore lines to make it easier to take public transit.

GO Trains that ran hourly along the Lakeshore line between Aldershot and Oshawa will run every 30 minutes, seven days a week. This will add 263 new train trips in total every week along the line, including: • Eighteen new trips on

weekdays, 24 new trips on Saturdays and 15 new trips on Sundays on the Lakeshore East line, • Nineteen new trips on weekdays, 24 new trips on Saturdays and 15 new trips on Sundays on the Lakeshore West line, Investing in public transit is part of the Ontario government’s plan to help reduce congestion, strengthen the economy and create jobs.

ditioning is also available for further climate control.

Two direct mechanical joystick controls for boom and fork tilt functions are standard. The controls are easy to reach and smooth to operate, optimizing operator precision and productivity.

A deluxe suspension seat is optional. A work light package can be added to further increase the productivity of this machine.

Engine accessibility is made simple with a large, hinged hood on the side of the machine. The hood lifts fully out of the way, allowing plenty of room to access maintenance points, including the battery and oil fill. Underneath the unit Gehl has added a bolted belly pan to protect all engine and hydraulic components. A hinged access door provides easy access

to the engine oil drain.

Hydraulic flow up to 20 gpm (76 L/min) provides excellent hydraulic performance. Optional auxiliary lines power a variety of available attachments, including, truss booms, jib booms, buckets and multiple types of carriages and forks. The Dynattach Quick-Attach System allows quick attachment changes with unsurpassed Quick Facts ease. The hydraulic hoses • During peak hours, GO are routed inside the boom Trains run about every 10 to 15 minutes.
