OSHA Violations On the Rise This Year Fall Protection Continues to Top Agency’s Most-Cited List By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

For 13 years running now, fall protection has hamstrung contractors and their safety directors. During that time, it has become OSHA’s most frequently cited infraction. It remains the most cited this year. During the National Safety Council’s (NSC) Safety Congress and Expo held this fall, OSHA’s Eric Harbin gave preliminary stats on the top 10 most cited standards. For the second year in a row, the agency’s Hazard Communication standard see OSHA page 104

For the 13th consecutive year, fall protection rules again topped OSHA’s list of most-cited violations in 2023.

Use These Simple Stratgeies, Tactics to Construction Adds Keep Every Equipment Fleet Healthy 2,000 Jobs in Nov., Up 200K From 2022

By Michael Fitzgerald SPECIAL TO CEG

As a contractor, your equipment fleet is the lifeline of your business. The health and efficiency of your equipment can make or break your bottom line. Simple strategies and tactics can help keep your equipment in tip-top shape, running optimally and minimizing costly downtime. Routine Maintenance Is Non-Negotiable Construction equipment requires regular maintenance, walkarounds and inspections to help prevent avoidable repairs. Your equipment is a large investment for your company, so proper management is essential. Establishing a comprehensive maintenance schedule is crucial to operating reliable equipment and a dependable business. This includes regular inspections, scheduled servicing, fluid checks and keeping tabs on equipment hour meters. Following an effective maintenance schedule puts you in control, to be proactive in your equipment upkeep. Operator Training Matters Your equipment is only as good as the people operating it. Ensure that your operators are well trained and understand the equipment’s capabilities and limitations. Properly trained operators are less likely to misuse equipment, which can lead to costly repairs and decreased lifespan. Invest in training programs and provide ongoing education to keep your team up to date with the latest industry practices and safety guidelines. Welltrained operators are not only safer but also more efficient, which can save you money in the long run. Keep Detailed Records Maintaining accurate records of your equipment fleet’s maintenance history, repairs and inspections is invaluable. It allows you to track costs, forecast expenses and ensure any warranty claims’ accuracy. With detailed records, you can anticipate future maintenance needs and budget accordingly. Embrace Technology Modern technology has revolutionized equipment fleet management.

Simple strategies and tactics can help keep your equipment in tip-top shape, running optimally and minimizing costly downtime.

Consider adopting fleet management software and telematics systems that help you to monitor equipment, maintenance alerts and fuel efficiency. By investing in telematics such as Bobcat Machine IQ, you and your team will be able to quickly identify and address equipment issues, potentially preventing costly breakdowns. Consider Access When buying new equipment, consider how much thought the manufacturer put into the regular maintenance or serviceability of their machines. Selecting equipment with easy-toaccess components and parts is more important than you may initially think. When choosing a piece of equipment, look for easy access points, and make sure that panels open as wide or high as possible so you can easily access all major components. In particular, ensure you note the location and accessibility of the following: • Hydraulic oil fill, gauge and tank • Air filter • Fuel filter • Accessory belts • Alternator • Starter • Battery • Control valve • Engine coolant bottle and fill

• Cooling core Plan for Downtime No matter how well you maintain your equipment, downtime is inevitable. To minimize its impact, ensure that you have backup equipment available in case of an unforeseen problem. Additionally, planning maintenance and repairs during offpeak hours or slower seasons can help you to avoid being in a pinch during major jobs or critical work periods. Having a robust response plan in place will help you to navigate any potential equipment problems you may encounter. Keeping your equipment fleet healthy and running optimally requires a proactive approach. Regular maintenance, operator training, detailed record-keeping, embracing technology and effective downtime planning are key elements of a successful fleet management strategy. By following these guidelines and continuously improving your fleet management practices, you can increase the lifespan of your equipment, reduce operational costs, and ultimately, increase the profitability of your contracting business. A wellmaintained fleet is not just an expense; it’s an investment in the future success of your company. 

The construction industry added 2,000 jobs on net in November, according to an Associated Builders and Contractors analysis of data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On a year-over-year basis, industry employment has increased by 200,000 jobs, an increase of 2.6 percent. Nonresidential construction employment increased by 1,400 positions on net in November, with growth concentrated in one subcategory. Heavy and civil engineering added 3,300 positions, while nonresidential building and nonresidential specialty trade lost 1,100 and 800 jobs, respectively. The construction unemployment rate rose to 4.8 percent in November. Unemployment across all industries decreased from 3.9 percent in October to 3.7 percent in November. “U.S. employers once again added jobs at a faster pace than expected in November,” said ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu. “While construction added only 2,000 jobs for the month, the industry has added jobs at a significantly faster pace than the broader economy over the past year. That’s especially true for the nonresidential sector, in which employment has increased by an impressive 3.2 percent over the past year. That momentum is largely attributable to megaprojects in the manufacturing sector. “Faster hiring in the industry has coincided with worsening labor shortages, and that has led to rapid increases in labor costs,” said Basu. “Average hourly earnings for construction employees increased at a faster pace than economywide earnings on both a monthly and yearly basis in November. With nearly half of contractors planning to increase their staffing levels over the six months, according to ABC’s Construction Confidence Index, wage pressures will remain firmly in place through the early parts of 2024.” For more information, visit abc.org/economics. 

Clark Tops Out Tallest Residential Tower in D.C. Area A celebration of the topping out of Skymark Clark Construction photo Reston Town Center, the tallest mixed-use residential tower in the Washington, D.C., area, was held Oct. 19 in Fairfax County, Va., and attended by its builder, Clark Construction Group, along with representatives from BXP, the project’s Boston-based development company. The complex is part of the next phase of BXP’s new transit-oriented development that expands Reston Town Center in northern Virginia. SCB, a nationally known firm, is the project’s architect. When complete, the residential high-rise will deliver 464 units built over a podium containing ground-floor retail, 44 loft-style residential units, and 80,000 sq. ft. of office space across four stories. The building also will feature five levels of above- and below-grade parking. “Clark thrives on delivering the largest and most complex projects that push the boundaries of engineering and construction,” Terry Simon, division president of Clark, headquartered in nearby Bethesda, Md., said in a news release. “We look forward to the completion of another successful collaboration with long-time partner BXP to deliver this superstructure.” When complete, the residential high-rise will deliver 464 units built over Since breaking ground, concrete crews from a podium containing ground-floor retail, 44 loft-style residential units, Baker Concrete Construction in Washington have and 80,000 sq. ft. of office space across four stories. The building also will placed a combined 46,000 cu. yds. of concrete to feature five levels of above- and below-grade parking. shape the 40-story tower. With this milestone complete, the team will shift its focus to completing the building envelope and interior work. Substantial completion for Skymark is slated for early 2025. Interior Design Gives Skymark Elegant Look The interior of Skymark Reston Town Center is designed by Hartman Design Group (HDG) in Rockville, Md. The studio noted on its website that it looked “to create a place where the line between outdoors and indoors blurs” and “wanted to design for the sweet spot where work and home lives blend effortlessly and employed an array of tuckedaway co-working and social spots with cozy booths, private conference and tea rooms, and conversation nooks.” The company also designed dual lobbies for the East and West towers of the project. For the smaller East Tower lobby, HDG created space that includes a communal table, seating area, hospitality lounge and mail room. The larger West Tower lobby, with its Uber Lounge, concierge area, mail room, reception lounge and tearoom, will be lauded for its elegant and classic simplicity through the use of natural elements and colors enhanced by blue steel, the studio said. Reston Town Center’s expansive fifth-floor amenity suite bridges both towers. In addition to ample co-working areas, it offers everything from a sleek fitness center to a cozy fireplace lounge, all with views and connections to a spectacular outdoor terrace with a resort-style pool and deck offering plenty of extras. From the top of each tower, residents will be able to enjoy a vista that includes both the scenic northern Virginia mountains and downtown Washington sites, including the U.S. Capitol, the National Mall and the National Cathedral.

Skymark at Center of Vibrant Northern Virginia The majestic Skymark is the inaugural building in the next phase of Reston Town Center, home to world-class corporations, thriving retail and exciting dining and entertainment options. The apartment tower’s convenient location puts it next to the new Reston Town Center Silver Line metro station for an easy commute to Dulles Airport and Washington. Additionally, it is adjacent to the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park and bicycle trail, and within walking distance of the vibrant hive of activity that makes up Reston Town Center. Skymark’s construction comes on the heels of the successful delivery of 1950 and 2000 Opportunity Way, the first two office buildings at the expansion of BXP’s Reston Town Center. In addition to the two office towers, the 1.1 millionsq.-ft. development project includes street retail, a shared below-grade parking facility, a public plaza and multiple outdoor amenities and green spaces. “BXP is thrilled with the progress of this iconic landmark project in Reston,” said David Miller, senior vice president of construction at the company. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the talented men and women who have worked tirelessly to get us to where we are today.” 

Ferronordic Acquires Volvo CE Dealer Rudd Equipment Ferronordic acquired Rudd Equipment Company Inc., one of the largest dealers of Volvo Construction Equipment in the United States with territory spanning all or parts of nine states. Rudd Equipment is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferronordic. Ferronordic, an established European-based dealer of Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks, is entering the United States market with the acquisition of Rudd Equipment. Ferronordic will purchase 100 percent of the stock of Rudd Equipment. The transaction closed on Nov. 30, 2023. Rudd Equipment is the exclusive Volvo CE dealer for the entire states of Kentucky and Ohio and Indiana, with exception of two counties. Its territory also includes parts of Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Maryland. Headquartered in Louisville, Ky., Rudd Equipment has more than 360 employees across 13 locations. Ferronordic will continue to offer the full range of Volvo products and solutions under the Rudd

Equipment banner. “This is a transformational transaction for us,” said Lars Corneliusson, CEO, Ferronordic. “We have been looking for opportunities to expand geographically in

other regions, mainly in developed markets. Rudd is a good strategic fit for Ferronordic and provides the platform and scale we have been looking for in the United States. The acquisition gives us a strong base in a

dynamic market that opens potential for further growth in North America.” “We are excited to welcome Ferronordic to our North American dealer network and see incredible opportunities ahead,” said Scott Young, head of sales region North America, Volvo CE. “We have a shared commitment to provide industry-best equipment, solutions and support to our customers.

Demolition of York, Pa.’s Bascule Gate Dam Under Way Demolition of the Bascule Gate Dam on Codorus Creek in York, Pa., began Dec. 5 as part of an effort to reduce flooding, improve water quality, promote public safety and prepare for construction of the city’s Codorus Greenway project. The effort is being made through a partnership between the York County Economic Alliance (YCEA) and the city of York, WPMT-TV in Harrisburg reported. The Bascule Gate Dam is located just downstream from the Philadelphia Street bridge over Codorus Creek. It was originally installed in 1983 to raise the upstream water level to create a slack pool for water recreation, such as canoeing and kayaking. The dam also included a gate that could be lowered during flood periods. But the dam’s gate has been inoperable since 2016 when it became stuck in a raised position that causes it to gather debris, aggravate flooding and pose a drowning risk, according to the YCEA. In the years since, the dam’s operation mechanism has only continued to deteriorate and allow water to infiltrate the structure’s control housing.

The initiative has a $26 million first phase that will stretch from Grantley Avenue to Foundry Plaza in York.

As a result, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) notified York in March 2018 that the Bascule Gate Dam was noncompliant with flood control requirements. The city was then mandated to remove the dam. About the time that the Bascule Gate Dam begun malfunctioning, planning for the Codorus Greenway was initiated and removing the dam was recommended. BrightFields Inc., a Wilmington, Del.based environmental remediation firm, will complete the work with the engineering firm of Buchart Horn in York providing construc-

tion management and inspection services. The total project cost is anticipated to be $550,000 and is being covered by city of York Rescue Plan Act funds and grants from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The demolition project is anticipated to be completed no later than April 30, 2024, WPMT-TV noted. The first phase of work will include razing a building housing the dam gate mechanism and the construction of a bypass channel to lower the water level behind the dam. Following that work, the second phase will include the demolition of the dam and its foundation, along with the restoration of the site. When the Bascule Gate Dam is breached, it will expose areas of the creek bed and banks previously under water, YCEA noted. Over time, the creek will establish a more natural flow within the levee walls and the banks will become covered in vegetation. The dam’s removal is only the first phase of a much larger project to improve access to Codorus Creek, which will include the installation of permanent riparian buffers, or

vegetation, along the water’s edge. YCEA plans to work with the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper to conduct litter clean-ups of the area sometime next spring. Codorus Creek Key Waterway in York For more than a century, people in York have looked at Codorus Creek as a body of water abounding with opportunity. The YCEA’s Codorus Creek Beautification Initiative moves these prior design and planning efforts forward by hydraulically modeling and re-envisioning the creek channel in the city of York and Spring Garden Township. The initiative has a $26 million first phase that will stretch from Grantley Avenue to Foundry Plaza in York, with a trail connection running along the west bank of the levee system. The initial phase of work is currently in the permitting process with USACE and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, according to YCEA. The latter agency said that it anticipates permit approval in the third quarter of next year, which would allow the Codorus Creek Beautification effort to start construction toward the end of 2024. 

Amtrak Awards Contracts for Frederick Douglass Tunnel Amtrak has achieved a significant milestone in the Frederick Douglass Tunnel Program with the selection of the Clark Construction/Stacy and Witbeck Joint Venture as the first of three major construction contractors for this phase of construction to deliver the program. The award follows a yearlong competitive procurement that began in June 2022 for the Southern Approach construction package. “This award represents the culmination of years of hard work to deliver significant long-term improvements right in the heart of a vital segment of the Northeast Corridor,” said Amtrak Executive Vice President, Capital Delivery Laura Mason. “Building the new Frederick Douglass Tunnel along with the other program improvements is a win-win for Baltimore that will create thousands of jobs and improve the experience for thousands of customers who rely on this critical connection every day.” The entire investment for the Frederick Douglass Tunnel is estimated at approximately $6 billion, which is supported in part by federal funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), along with contributions from Amtrak and the state of

Maryland. “This progress is more evidence of how rail investments create jobs and opportunity in local communities,” said FRA Administrator Amit Bose. “The Federal Railroad Administration is proud of our support of the new Frederick Douglass Tunnel, and this project is one of several we plan to move forward through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and as part of our agency’s commitment to modernizing and expanding passenger rail.” The Southern Approach Package (Package B) is being delivered using a Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) delivery method. The Package B contract includes: • Building a new ADA-accessible West Baltimore MARC Station • Constructing the southern approach from south of the West Baltimore Station area and extending north to the new Frederick Douglass Tunnel south portal • Replacing multiple railroad undergrade bridges (N. Warwick Avenue, W. Mulberry Street, and W. Franklin Street) • Replacing the Edmondson Avenue and W. Lafayette Avenue bridges

• Relocating and realigning various utilities “This important milestone moves us one step closer to bringing the long-anticipated replacement of the B&P Tunnel into fruition,” said Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul J. Wiedefeld. “We look forward to continued collaboration with Amtrak as we deliver this vital connection and enhance overall mobility for commuters in Baltimore and beyond.” “The Frederick Douglass Tunnel is a critical infrastructure project which will improve mobility and access for riders across the region,” said Maryland Transit Administrator Holly Arnold. “Improvements to the West Baltimore MARC station are key to the transforming MARC Train from commuter rail to regional rail.” Additionally, separate contracts have been awarded to K.K. Adams and Delaware Cornerstone Builders, two local Small Business Enterprises (SBE) that will complete supplemental preconstruction activities ahead of major construction. Construction contracts for other portions of the project are being procured separately:

• “Package A” — Frederick Douglass Tunnel construction. Currently in procurement; anticipated award later this year • “Package C” — Tunnel Fit Out (tunnel track, systems and ventilation facilities). Future procurement details TBA; anticipated award in 2025/2026 Amtrak continues to advance design, property acquisitions and preparations for other smaller construction projects associated with the Frederick Douglass Tunnel Program, which will transform the Northeast Corridor in West Baltimore and unlock the largest rail bottleneck between Washington, D.C., and New Jersey. As the program progresses, these major construction contracts will support and complement other work which Amtrak’s Infrastructure Maintenance and Construction Service (IMCS) team will complete. The first project, completed by IMCS this summer, included replacing aging wooden ties with new concrete ties, installing new rail and completing track drainage improvements, which improved ride quality, increased track speed and will minimize the impact of future construction activities on operations. 

• A QCare walk-in clinic that will provide care to all patients — from infants to seniors. • Penn Highlands Hahne Cancer Center, staffed by nationally respected oncologists, along with a multidisciplinary team that will provide advanced medical oncology and infusion services. In addition, the advanced facility will be equipped with a linear accelerator that delivers radiation to cancerous tumors with pinpoint accuracy and spares the healthy tissue nearby. • Penn Highlands Life’s Journey OB/GYN, providing care for every stage of

a woman’s life. • A Women’s Medical Imaging center that will include screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds and DEXA bone density scans. • Penn Highlands Heart Center will offer specialized heart care, including non-invasive testing, EKG, and echocardiogram. • The Penn Highlands Lung Center at the new State College hospital will provide screenings, diagnostics, and treatments. • Full laboratory services. • A retail pharmacy with drive-thru service. Trina Abla, chief medical officer at Penn Highlands Healthcare, based in Dubois, Pa., is looking forward to offering more services in the Centre County region. “Much consideration and evaluation went into deciding which services would be offered at Penn Highlands State College and we are confident that people who live in the region will have the medical care they need in their community from the Penn Highlands physicians and providers they trust,” she said in the news release. The new State College hospital and office complex for Penn Highlands Healthcare will be the 11th such facility in the central region of Pennsylvania. 

Philly’s Franklin Square PATCO Station Work Progresses The construction to reopen a long-shuttered train station in Philadelphia’s Center City has progressed well since its start in the summer of 2021. When completed next spring, the area’s Port Authority Transit Corp., PATCO, will operate the Franklin Square Station. It has been closed and abandoned for more than 40 years, reported WHYY Public Radio. The rapid transit route, or Speedline, runs underground in Philadelphia, crosses the Delaware River on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, and continues back underground in Camden, N.J., before traveling above ground to the east end of the line in Lindenwold. In 2022, crews relocated a water line beneath Franklin Square Park, which sits across Race Street between 6th and 7th streets, near the Ben Franklin Bridge. The water line, which dated back to the 1930s, was replaced at that site by a new escalator. Michael Venuto, chief engineer with the Delaware River PATCO rendering Port Authority (DRPA), which The work covered under this project will allow the station to become fully functional and in-line with the existing PATCO stations.

MTE Equipment Solutions Serves Wide Range of Industries MTE Equipment Solutions is a family-owned and -operated business, headquartered in Rochester, N.Y. The company was purchased in 2010 by Thomas Houseknecht, who still serves today as company president. At the time of purchase, it was known as S.V. Moffett Company, and it was primarily focused on mowing products in the golf and turf industries, with other locations in Cohoes, N.Y., and North Reading, Mass. In 2012, the company moved from North Reading to Tewksbury, Mass., for five years, after which it relocated to a larger facility in Derry, N.H. The company opened a new location in New Milford, Conn., expanding the company’s footprint to include New York City, Connecticut and Rhode Island in 2018. Over the years, Tom Houseknecht has been joined by his sons, Craig (vice president of sales and operations); Ted (vice president of finance); and Eric (marketing). Today the company serves a wide range of industries including contractors, universities, municipalities and golf courses as one of the larger suppliers of commercial equipment in the Northeast. The growth of MTE Equipment Solutions has come through the Houseknechts’ continued commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. In 2011, the Ventrac product line was added, providing options for grounds care professionals. “Ventrac is a very versatile, multi-function tractor,” said Craig Houseknecht. “It is an excellent machine for mowing and snow removal. It made sense for our turf customers, but also opened a lot of municipal doors for us. You can put dual wheels on the tractor and mow slopes up to 30 degrees. It has a huge assortment of attachments, including plows, snowblowers, loaders, trenchers, etc. It didn’t take long before we were the number one Ventrac dealer in the country.” In 2020, MTE added another product offering to its lineup, GiANT Loaders. GiANT Loaders is a family-owned manufacturer in the Netherlands, providing compact articulated oscillating wheel loaders, telehandlers and mini-skid steers. GiANT offers nine different models of loaders with options for different boom configurations. They come standard with a universal skid steer attachment plate, or a mini-universal skid steer attachment plate. This makes GiANT Loaders adaptable to any skid steer attachment. “The machines are so strong most of them can literally lift their own weight, thus the name GiANT,” said Craig Houseknecht. “The name was the owner’s way of desig-

nating the machines as gigantic ants. We use Kubota engines, an engine that virtually any buyer has confidence in and our machine bodies, fenders, etc., are all made of steel. These machines minimize turf damage with their articulated steering and oscillating frame. GiANT Loaders are well known for their maneuverability in extremely tight places, extreme lift capacity and compact size, making them easy to transport from site to site. “The capabilities of the G1200 GiANT Loader are impressive, he added. “With a low weight of 2,400 lbs combined with its compact design, the operator can navigate tight spaces with a tipping load of up to 2,400 lbs. GiANT even offers fully electric models for indoor applications or other areas where emissions become an issue.” At the NYS Highway and Public Works Expo this past October, MTE Equipment Solutions announced its latest product offering, KATO Compact Excavator Sales, expanding its product offerings into excavators, along with skid steer and compact track loaders. “Over the past 13 years, our customer base has broadened, particularly into areas of hardscape and landscape contractors who use these types of machines,” said Craig Houseknecht. “KATO is also a familyowned and -operated company with a great reputation that is underserved in our market. It’s powered with Kubota and Yanmar engines, both of which we are very familiar with and have the ability to support. “They also offer Cushman Vehicles, E-ZGO, Jacobsen Turf Equipment, Smithco, Gravely and more,” he added. “Despite challenges from COVID and supply chain related issues, MTE Equipment Solutions has see MTE page 94

J & J Equipment Holds Tymco Sweeper Training in N.Y.

More than 100 Tymco owners and operators from across New York State gathered at J & J Equipment for Tymco training.

& J Equipment held a sweeper training day for Tymco air sweepers Nov. 8, 2023, at its Brewerton, N.Y., headquarters. The event had a great turnout with attendees traveling from all across the state to hear two guest speakers, Jeff O’Malley and Warren Leonard, speak on preventive maintenance and everyday care of the Tymco product. Topics included winterization of street sweepers, the usage of water for dust control, how to determine the right amount of water to use without making mud on the streets and overall; and how to optimize Tymco AirSweepers to have better and cleaner streets. “Every Tymco sweeper that we deliver comes with an in-person training session,” said George Lonergan, president of J & J Equipment. “However, that’s an awful lot of information for a customer to retain in one brief meeting. This training session was designed to recap the essentials and to go much deeper into other areas. It also gave us an opportunity to show off our facility and the capabilities of our service department.” “The reception has been very good, and we plan on making this an annual event,” he added. Lonergan and the staff of J & J Equipment have a very strong pedigree

when it comes to Tymco sweepers. Lonergan has been involved with Tymco for 35 years, selling his first Tymco in 1988; since then, he has put 485 sweepers into the marketplace. Lonergan’s father was the first Tymco dealer in New York State back in 1979. Not only does J & J Equipment sell and service Tymco sweepers, but the company also maintains an impressive rental fleet.  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2023 Construction Equipment Guide.

Jeff O’Malley of Tymco addresses the proper approach to washing out a sweeper after use.

Taking a look at the Green Climbers line of tracked hillside mowers now available at J & J Equipment are Andrew Bergen (L) and John Corsi, both of the village of Minoa.

Warren Leonard of Tymco also offered valuable information on the proper maintenance and operation of Tymco sweepers.

XBroom Aims for Simplicity in Its Sweeping Process Sweeping is simple right? Well, that depends. When it comes to pushing a broom, it certainly is, but with mechanical sweeping in a milling environment, it’s not always easy. An Arizona-based manufacturer of a pickup broom designed for heavy-duty, high production sweeping is simplifying the sweeping process in both operation and maintenance with its XBroom sweeper. Nescon LLC began limited production of the XBroom in 2009, and since then, word of the product has spread rapidly through the paving and milling industry, according to Will Conklin, CEO of the Mesa-based company. “Simplicity is built into every aspect of the machine’s design,” Conklin said. “Keeping things simple has been our focus from the beginning, in both operation and maintenance. Two access doors and all hydraulic lines and electrical components are right there where you can see and work on them. We purposely have them exposed and not hidden in the frame. We wanted everything to be easy to get to and easy to maintain, from hydraulic manifolds down to electric boxes.” Operating the XBroom is as simple as “turn on the PLC, turn on the PTO and push down the joystick,” Conklin added. “There are no added buttons, gadgets or levers necessary to perform the sweeping operation.” Contractor Origins John Nesbitt was a paving contractor, but he realized he didn’t have a passion for the paving business. He was a natural inventor living in the production-oriented world of paving and realized his true calling was creating solutions to problems he experienced in his business every day, according to Conklin. In 2007, Conklin, who had been working as a bartender in the college town of Tempe, talked Nesbitt into giving him a job — as a janitor. At the time, recalled Conklin, that’s about all his resume qualified him for. “Like most companies in 2008, they were laying people off and I would learn a new job and just tell John [Nesbitt] to pay me the same rate,” Conklin said. “By 2009, I was shop lead as we built the first prototypes of John’s answer to the sweeping challenges he faced in the paving business. “At the time, we had probably 10 milling machines — some older CMI machines and some Wirtgen and Roadtec machines,” he added. “For sweepers, we had what was available at the time. It seemed like we had more issues with the sweeping process than the actual paving. When a machine went down, which was a frequent occurrence, there was always difficulty getting support. Just getting someone on the phone was difficult.” Sweeping millings is essential, and when that’s not happening, it holds up the entire process.

XBroom Difference • Time and money. Contractors’ challenges vary, according to Conklin, but in the case of APS, the problem was time. They were limited in the amount of milling they could perform daily because they were held up by sweeping the millings. “Rather than having three pieces of equipment and five guys, they can do the job with one piece of equipment and one guy,” said Conklin. Traditional brooms typically require a skid steer to pick up millings that have been swept. The XBroom picks the millings up, puts in in the selfWill Conklin, CEO of Nescon LLC, which manufactures the XBroom, attributes the sweeper’s popularity with the paving company to ease of operation, service and maintenance.

The issues with sweepers were numerous, recalled Conklin. “The most common were hydraulic and electronic issues,” he said. “But there were a lot of mechanical issues, too.” Nesbitt and his team were keen to address the most common problems they were experiencing as they continued to develop what would become the XBroom, while putting it into service on paving jobs. Conklin split his time between the shop and the job site, acting as milling/pavement recycling foreman and lead technician in the shop. Soon, two prototypes were in service, and it didn’t take long for word to get out that a contractor had built his own sweeper. “We started getting calls from major contractors about it fairly soon,” Conklin said. “It was sort of ‘we heard you produced your own sweeper, and it might be something we’d be interested in.’ From that point on, it was organic growth. We began to get orders almost immediately.” The first XBroom was built in a single bay in Tempe and, understandably, competitors in the sweeping space thought it would just go away, Nesbitt remembered. “We operated in very cramped quarters until we moved into this facility [current Mesa plant] in 2014. There were just three of us at the beginning — myself, Will [Conklin] and my son, Chris.” Today, XBrooms are on milling jobs throughout the United States. They are in use and promoted by industry leaders like the Stanleys of American Paving Specialists (APS) and Raised on Blacktop fame. APS President Bill Stanley credits XBroom with delivering his company’s milling division from “broom hell.”

The XBroom’s extra large hopper capacity means more time sweeping and less time dumping.

contained hopper and hauls it off. • Availability of support. Conklin touts his company’s 24-hour technical support service. “We answer the phone, and we offer a rapid solution,” he said. “Advanced self-diagnostics are also utilized.” • Accessible and adjustable. All controls and adjustments are visible from the easily accessible rear doors. Adjustments to the main broom (angle and pressure) and elevator allow for picking up much larger millings than other sweepers, according to Conklin. • Ease of operation. The XBroom requires a single operator, and no manual sweeping. According to Conklin, the broom can sweep 30 percent more than competitor brooms in the same amount of time. Sweeping should be as easy as pushing a hand broom. As the cliché goes, necessity is the mother of invention and simplicity is often the foundation of a new, successful idea. John Nesbitt, Will Conklin and their team understood that and together their XBroom continues to help contractors do their jobs more easily and efficiently.  (All photos courtesy of XBroom.)

The SF-3404 paves a maximum of 40 ft. and features telescoping endpans for 2 ft. of width flexibility on each end.

Power Pavers announced the launch of the industry’s newest full-width, fourtrack concrete slipform paver: the Power Paver SF-3404. The SF-3404 is built with decades of knowledge and technological advancements, delivering contractors the smoothest ride possible, saving valuable time and providing complete visibility around the machine, the manufacturer said. It paves a maximum of 40 ft. and features telescoping endpans for 2 ft. of width flexibility on each end. In addition, a heavy-duty plow, rigid paving pans and durable slew drives make the SF-3404 highly reliable and efficient. Also new with the SF-3404 is an optional compact, fully-controlled dowel bar insertion (DBI) system. It is equipped with a hydraulic floating floor to maintain the integrity of the initial slab and improve reconsolidation around dowel bars after the insertion process. Each time the DBI runs, the carriage recalibrates with electronic sensors to ensure the floor is exactly where it should be. In addition, the DBI is split to allow for accurate crowning and bar placement. Each bar is held and guided into the concrete to prevent skewing, even while crowning. When running DBI, the machine utilizes a collision avoidance system to prevent center tie bars and DBI from inserting at the same location. To create the smoothest ride possible,

the SF-3404 is equipped with the industry’s longest oscillating correctional beam (OCB) for smoothing the slab’s surface after dowel bar insertion. Power Pavers engineered a unique, heavy-duty OCB that is 30 in. tall with a 24 in. finishing length for full coverage over the dowel insertion void. The OCB corrects any surface imperfections with ease. For transportation, the DBI, OCB, OCB wiper and final finisher are contained in a single assembly. A vibrator cruise control automatically adjusts the machine’s vibrators to maintain consistent speed despite fluctuations in oil viscosity or changes in concrete slump. For super-elevations and intersections, an exclusive crown-distance compensation feature provides automated crown transitions between the mold, DBI and OCB, according to the manufacturer. As with other Power Pavers, the SF3404 is designed with simplicity in mind. The machine features numerous other thoughtful details to simplify operators, finishers and mechanics’ jobs. It is equipped with Power Pavers’ signature SlipSmart control system for simple, highly configurable machine controls. All machine diagnostics are onboard, with no laptop required. The new system provides fault codes for everything on the machine, including the DBI. Common bolt sizes and color-coded wiring throughout the machine keep maintenance simple.

Hamm’s HC CompactLine, HC Series Compactors Win ‘Good Design Awards’ The two latest compactor series from Hamm — the HC CompactLine series and the HC series — recently were awarded the Good Design Award 2022 by the Chicago Athenaeum. These bring the total of internationally recognized design and innovation awards for successful products and developments received by Hamm since 1996 to 40. Well-designed construction machinery allows the operator to be able to understand all the functions effortlessly and to operate the machine intuitively. This brings the associated advantages of increased safety, efficiency and comfort. “We have been harmonizing ergonomics, functionality and aesthetics for over 30 years; for us, not just pure performance, but also the health of the operator and ease of handling are right at the top of the agenda,” said Axel Römer, head of research and development at Hamm. This philosophy also was significant in the development of the now award-winning compactor series. Two Awards in ‘Industrial’ Category The two latest compactor series in the Hamm portfolio received awards in the “Industrial” category. The renowned design award has been presented for 75 years and is one of the world’s most important awards for ground-breaking design. The Good Design Award honors high-quality products which stand out due to their impressive form, function and aesthetics. In awarding this prize, the jury evaluates the product in terms of level of innovative of the design, new technologies, form, materials, construction, concept, function, utility and energy efficiency, as well as sensitivity to the environment. HC Series: Modern Look, Comfortable to Operate Straightforward, clearly structured, and exceptionally dynamic, the HC series (85 kW to 160 kW) reinterprets the tried-and-tested style elements of the Hamm brand. Visually, the new shape of the engine hood stands out in particular: This gives the compactor exterior real muscle; the geometry provides enhanced visibility to the rear. Both the interior and the operator’s platform provide plenty of freedom of movement. The jury agreed that “the ambiance of the new cab gives the driver a completely new feeling of space,” and deemed that “the spacious cab sets new standards for visibility, and workstation design.” The space can be ideally utilized due to a comfort seat with a new rotating and sliding mechanism. The design of the workstation follows the “Easy Drive” operating concept, whereby all operating elements are clearly laid out and language-neutral. Accordingly, the compactors can be operated intuitively and easily. The vibrations and the noise level for the operator are significantly reduced compared to previous models due to the materials and the design. A comfortable heating and air-conditioning system in the cab keeps the windows free of fog and contribute to the outstanding visibility. Storage compartments, ventilation and lighting round off the level of comfort offered by this well-designed construction machinery. Design Supports Efficiency, Sustainability New concepts in engine and vibration management

allowed Hamm to increase the power considerably, and at the same time reduce exhaust gas emissions, noise, and vibrations. Moreover, the design supports the overall performance of the HC series, due to the newly designed front vehicle, for example “with a significantly greater clearance between the drum and the crossbeam, where material cannot accumulate,” according to the specialist jury. This means that downtimes for cleaning the drum are a thing of the past, while productivity increases. Moreover, customers benefit from an extensive range of options, and can adapt each roller ideally to their individual requirements and areas of application. Ready for Digital Construction Site The new compactors from Hamm are equipped for the digitalization of the construction industry. The jury added: “The HC series compactors are ‘digital ready’ and so meet future construction site quality and communication requirements. Using the Smart Doc app from Hamm, even lessexperienced drivers can immediately determine which areas have been sufficiently compacted, and which areas still require compaction. Furthermore, the compactors can communicate, even with digital applications from third parties, via a standardized interface.” HC CompactLine Series: Compact, Safe The HC CompactLine (55.4 kW), which also won an award, is in the small compactor segment. Particularly noteworthy is the 7-ton HC 70i which, at 14.4 ft. in length, is the world’s shortest compactor in this weight class. Combined with the 3-point articulation and the extremely short wheelbase, this results in excellent driving and handling characteristics, the manufacturer said. In their reasoning, the jury stressed that the compactors, due to their compact form, short wheelbase, and a remarkable gradeability, are perfectly suited for compaction in narrow construction sites and in trenches. The jurors also emphasized that the HC CompactLine series “is extremely easy to operate thanks to the standard intuitive operation, embedded in an ergonomically optimized workstation.” Part of that is the language-neutral operation. The logical arrangement, careful design and clear symbols on the operating elements make manual operations straightforward. Back-lit buttons ensure correct operation, even in the dark. The arrangement of the steering wheel allows a clear view of and easy access to the dashboard. ECO Mode Reduces Fuel Consumption The two compactor series also offer an impressive sustainable machine concept. They can be operated with diesel or HVO fuels. Furthermore, in both series, operation in ECO mode saves fuel. The machine design and the components in the power train were chosen by Hamm so that most tasks can be carried out in ECO mode — without curtailing the compaction power. In addition, an automatic engine stop can reduce diesel consumption. This automatically switches off the engine under certain conditions, for example during prolonged downtimes. At the same time, the automatic mechanism takes into account the requirements of exhaust gas cleaning with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). For more information, visit www.wirtgen-group.com. 

Contractor Employs Cold Recycling Train With Vögele Paver

The Wirtgen W 240 CRi cold recycler transfers the prepared material by conveyor to the Vögele SUPER 2100-5i paver, which paves it immediately.

The project was to renew the agricultural road near the Dutch village of Ferwert quickly and economically using low-emission machinery. The contractors decided to use the in-place cold recycling method, as this prepares the reclaimed material on site immediately and then reuses it for the paving process. They used a tried and tested combination of Wirtgen Group machines: the W 240 CRi cold recycler from Wirtgen and the new SUPER 2100-5i Highway Class paver from Vögele. Saving CO, Money The environmental performance of road construction

projects is becoming more and more of a focus. In-place cold recycling has become established as a resource-saving technique which also delivers economic benefits as a result of the time and expense saved. The Dutch companies KWS and Freesmij opted for this rehabilitation method on the 0.8 mi. long and 10.2 ft. wide asphalt road near the village of Ferwert. The paving crew used the Wirtgen Group cold recycling train to mill off the existing asphalt layer and also to prepare the material on site (also called “in situ” or “in-place”) and make a new base course of bitumen-stabilized material (BSM) by mixing in binders and other aggregates. “In-place cold recycling is the response to the ecological

and economic demands of modern road construction,” said Raymond van de Stadt, managing director asphalt at primary contractor KWS. “In just two days, we renewed the entire stretch of road using 100 percent recycled material, thereby significantly reducing CO₂ emissions and, of course, saving time and costs compared to conventional methods.” Powerful Cold Recycling Train Another benefit of cold recycling was key in this application on a narrow agricultural road: the entire recycling train takes up the width of just one lane. To rehabilitate the 10.2 ft. wide road in one pass, the team first used a W 100 Fi compact milling machine from Wirtgen to pre-mill at a width of 3 ft. and a depth of 5.9 in. This was followed by the cold recycling train, consisting of water and bitumen tank wagons, the Wirtgen W 240 CRi cold recycler and the new SUPER 2100-5i large paver from Vögele. As this process prepares the reclaimed material in situ and uses it for the paving process immediately, both the recycler and the paver had to achieve a high output. The W 240 CRi can produce up to 882 tons of material an hour at a maximum pave width of 7.7 ft., while the SUPER 2100-5i can take up to 22 tons of material with an extra material hopper and pave up to 1,213 tons per hour.

Granulation, mixing and paving in a single pass: the Wirtgen Group cold recycling train sustainably and efficiently rehabilitated an agricultural road in the Netherlands while saving resources.

Efficient Teamwork On the job site in Ferwert, the cold recycler milled out the old road material to a depth of 5.9 in. in one pass, and in the mixing chamber prepared the material to form homogeneous BSM by adding foamed bitumen using an integrated Vario spray bar. The W 240 CRi then transferred the material to the following Vögele paver, which paved the 5.9 in. high base course at a speed of around 13.1 ft. per minute. After completion of the recycling work, the SUPER 2100-5i sealed the base course with a 1.6 in. thick asphalt surface course. see FERWERT page 58

Sustainable Machine Technology The contractors relied on environmentally-friendly technologies, both for the machines used and for the rehabilitation process itself. The Vögele large paver of the new “Dash 5” generation features a particularly sustainable drive concept, for example: with a 6-cylinder John Deere engine, the SUPER 2100-5i meets European exhaust emissions standard stage 5 and still achieves 178 kW at 1,700 rpm, even in ECO mode. The intelligent engine management system and Vögele EcoPlus optimized lowemissions package also reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 25 percent. The splitter gearbox, the controlled hydraulic oil temperature circuit, the energyoptimized tamper stroke and the speed-controlled fan all contribute to the reduction. Optimized Material Management, High Pre-Compaction Another new feature of the “Dash 5” pavers — the updated material handling control system — also was beneficial in terms of the environmental performance and quality of the construction project. The auger and conveyors now communicate with one other, ensuring that material feed is even more consistent and precisely coordinated. This avoids load peaks, saves fuel, enables an optimum head of mix, and so uninterrupted paving. The new hydraulically extendable limiting plate for the auger tunnel, called the Power Tunnel, additionally ensured an optimum

material height in front of the AB 500 TV extending screed used on the job site. Equipped with tamper bar and vibrator compacting systems, the screed also achieves a high degree of pre-compaction. With the hydraulic tamper stroke adjustment, the paving team was able to adjust the tamper stroke at the touch of a button from 0.16 in. to 0.32 in., optimally setting it within seconds for paving the base course and then the surface course. This significantly shortens setup times compared to mechanical adjustment. The simple and accurate adjustment method also ensured optimum pre-compaction, good screed floating behavior, and consequently an ideal paving result. Rehabilitation Method With Bright Future After only two days, the entire 0.8 mi. stretch of road was completely rehabilitated. This successful test run convinced the contractors of the economic and environmental benefits of the method. The resource-saving use of material, the high quality of the prepared material, the reduced transportation required and the drop in CO₂ emissions — as well as rehabilitation in one pass — make a significant contribution to greater climate protection and efficiency in road construction. “Cold recycling technology is a model for road rehabilitation which will continue proving its efficiency in the future,” said Freesmij CEO Henk Vreeswijk.

Mecalac Makes Impact On Wheeled Excavator Market For decades, European contractors have been finding increased utilization for the wheeled excavator and in many cases, in applications that have never been seen in the United States. In recent years, this has been particularly true for the compact wheeled excavator. It’s not unusual for innovation in the excavating trades to begin in Europe and work its way to North America. Take the tiltrotator as an example. In parts of Europe the majority of excavators sold are equipped with a tiltrotator, employing technology that is just now starting to achieve momentum in the United States. What has been driving the increased utilization of the compact wheeled excavator in Europe? • Mobility — wheeled machines can be driven down the highway without surface damage, eliminating the need for additional transportation equipment and reducing logistical challenges. • Reduced Ground Damage — in delicate environments, rubber-tired excavators cause minimal ground damage and distribute the weight of the machine more evenly, reducing impact on ground surface, making them an ideal tool in parks and historical areas and for any environment where surface preservation is essential. • Improved Fuel Efficiency — reduced weight of rubber tires when compared with steel tracks converts to lower fuel consumption. • Versatility and Maneuverability — these machines navigate well through confined spaces and challenging terrains

with ease. A compact design with all-wheel steer and 360degree rotation enable operators to work in very tight areas that would often be a challenge in urban settings with older infrastructure. • Attachment Versatility — rubber-tired excavators can be equipped with virtually any attachment that a tracked machine can handle, including all types of buckets, hammers, grapples and augers for digging. • Urban Construction Adaptation — in Europe, construction projects often require precision work with minimal to no disruption to nearby infrastructure. Rubber-tired machines adapt well to these scenarios with reduced ground pressure and noise levels. • Road Construction and Maintenance — this application is already being used in parts of the United States. Rubbertired machines are ideal for installing road barriers, repairing damaged pavement and other road work … again, causing minimal surface damage and the ability to quickly move from one site to another. Several companies are now leading the way in importing these compact workhorses into the United States, one of which is Mecalac with its MWR series wheeled excavators. The Mecalac machines are available in four different sizes: • 7MWR weighing 16,000 lbs. • 9MWR weighing 17,000 lbs. with a back blade, giving it the ability to push as well as dig. see EXCAVATOR page 72

Equipped with an Engcon tiltrotator and grapple, Canonica Land Works’ Mecalac 11MWR easily manipulates large tree trunks.

Contractors Add Compact Wheeled Excavators for Unique Applications Increasingly, contractors across the country are adding compact wheeled excavators to their fleet with a variety of unique applications. Here are two contractors that are realizing incredible benefit from using Mecalac equipment. Kobo Utility Kobo Utility in Cape Cod, Mass., categorizes itself as a heavy electrical contracting company that also does a lot of utility work. Kobo has a broad reach with offices in Massachusetts, Florida and California. “We started the process of replacing tractor loader backhoes in our fleet with wheeled excavators years ago,” said Kevin O’Neil, president of Kobo Utility. “At that time, the excavators that were available to us were not an ideal solution. They were big and somewhat cumbersome. What we were really on the hunt for was a wheeled excavator that was under 30,000 pounds.

“I had been doing some research and became aware that Mecalac produced a machine that fit the category that I was looking for and initially I was disappointed to find out that they were not being brought into the United States. That all changed in 2016 when Lorusso Heavy Equipment in Massachusetts became the first dealer in the country. We purchased a Mecalac 9MWR weighing 17,000 lbs. “With the Mecalac’s unique design, each time I added a Mecalac to the fleet, I was not only gaining an excavator, but also a telehandler with a set of forks, and a skid steer because of the Mecalac’s ability to push material. We were able to reduce our equipment inventory with every Mecalac purchase. “It was a bit of a process, but it didn’t take long for our operators to prefer to have a Mecalac on the job versus the equipment that

we were replacing. Another bonus that we discovered was transportation. To haul a tractor loader backhoe to a job site, the backhoe took up 30 feet on the trailer. All folded up the Mecalac only took 9 feet. “Surprisingly, we found that the Mecalac, which we were using as a multi-functional piece, did each job assigned to it better than the purpose-built machine that it was replacing. It dug better than an excavator, it lifted better than a telehandler and it pushed better than a skid steer. “In comparing the Mecalac to a telehandler, you can pick up heavier materials, lift them straight up in the air, spin around 360 degrees and drop it directly behind you. You can never do that with a telehandler. A skid steer loader gives you terrible visibility and tears up a job site. With a Mecalac, you just pull into the pile, lift up the load and pull away. Your view is elevated, it’s

perfect, and the wheels do no surface damage at all. “When I compare the working capacity of a tractor loader backhoe to the Mecalac MWR, the Mecalac digs better and loads better than a tractor loader backhoe and takes up far less space. It’s a win-win. Loading the truck is so much easier with the Mecalac. The loading bucket has full rotation and higher reach, and the truck can be parked virtually anywhere. With Mecalac’s unique coupler design you can change out from the digging bucket to the loading bucket literally in seconds without leaving the cab.” The versatility of the Mecalac has made Kobo Utility’s transportation much simpler — one trailer, one machine and a handful of attachments that would typically include a narrow digging bucket, a 36-in. digging bucket, a loader bucket and a skid steer plate that allows it to add a couple of see CONTRACTORS page 72

Mecalac, a relative newcomer to the U.S. market, has long been held in high esteem in Europe as being a leader in technology, and is rapidly gaining the same reputation in North America. The Mecalac MWR is not simply a tracked excavator that was redesigned to add wheels. The MWR was designed

Mecalac’s unique three-piece boom configuration and coupling system allows for a wide variety of attachments and applications.

from the ground up to be a wheeled excavator. This design has given the machine a very low profile with service access points that are literally just a couple of feet from the ground. A very low center of gravity makes the Mecalac MWR the most stable wheeled excavator in its class on the market, according to the manufacturer. Maintenance also is safe and efficient, with every essential access point reachable with your feet on the ground. The cab is 20 percent lower than other machines, making the cab easily accessible to the driver. The Mecalac operator technology is user-friendly due to a unique central selector. The operator can switch into road, operating, or parking modes in a single movement rather than having to go through several steps. All Mecalac MWR machines feature the 360-degree ISO stability, which means machine stability remains the same regardless of the rotation angle of the upper carriage. All MWR machines are equipped with all-wheel steering, allowing operators to practically turn on the spot, the manufacturer said. The Mecalac unique multi-segmented boom configuration allows the machine to have reach combined with lifting power that’s never before been seen in a machine its size, the manufacturer added.

North America and is finding that resistance to the concept is lessening. “Municipalities are opting to purchase wheeled excavators to accomplish their excavating needs because it is so much easier to drive a wheeled excavator that is capable of speeds over 20 miles an hour to the site than it is to deal with all of the hassle of loading, transporting and unloading a

attachments like a set of forks and a sweeper. “When we work on a project with a large footprint like an airport, the Mecalac becomes a huge timesaver. We are able to quickly dispatch the machine when we have to move from one end of the site to the other at 2025 miles per hour. The hydraulic flow is extraordinary, much better than any skid steer we have ever owned or any excavator in the same size category. Among other things, that hydraulic flow converts to great hydraulic attachment performance.” Kobo Utility is equally pleased with its dealer, Lorusso Heavy Equipment. “Lorusso has done an astounding job supporting us, and very importantly, as we have moved our fleet all across the country, we have found that the other Mecalac dealers are equally supportive. The technicians are prop-

erly trained and typically the parts are in inventory.” Canonica Land Works Canonica Land Works based in Chelsea, Vt., specializes in landbased excavation work such as stone wall construction, trail maintenance and stream reconstruction. The company currently uses a Mecalac 11MWR weighing 24,000 lbs., but this was not its first Mecalac purchase. Eight years ago, Ben Canonica purchased the first Mecalac 10MCR multi-function excavator that was brought into the United States from Europe. The Mecalac 10MCR, which is actually a hybrid combination of an excavator and compact track loader met their needs. “There obviously would not have been a second purchase unless the original purchase of the 10MCR had gone well,” Canonica said. Canonica Land Works is involved in a lot of environmental-

ly sensitive work, much of it in the Vermont countryside. A few years ago, it became evident that an invasive species from Asia called the “emerald ash borer” was settling into the woods of Vermont and doing massive tree damage, which would result in the necessity to have thousands of ash trees removed, many of them along the roadside. This led Canonica to the conclusion that he would be well situated to be hired for that type of work if he purchased a compact wheeled excavator. Canonica Land Works also does a lot of work on gravel roads and dirt trails where a rubber-tired machine would do less damage to the road surface. From his previous experience with the Mecalac 10MCR, he had a very high degree of confidence in the technology and the product support that comes along with buying the Mecalac product. According to Canonica, “Everything about working with

the Mecalac machines is innovative, but the one thing that probably stands out the most to me is the unique design of their threepiece multi-segmented boom. It allows you to dramatically increase your lifting capacity and digging flexibility by bringing the main boom back next to the cab. “You can almost raise and lower the load like a forklift with the intermediate boom. You can also position the boom to work around obstacles or under obstacles, but what really stands out the most is the lifting capacity.” Canonica had an immediate need that gave him an opportunity to rent a Mecalac 11MWR for a few months to make sure it was going to meet his expectations: he needed to do some riverbed restoration work from severe flooding that had happened locally and to access the site, he needed to traverse some agricultural areas and get in and out of the see CONTRACTOR page 574

Low Center of Gravity Enhances Machine’s Stability EXCAVATOR from page 72

tracked machine. “Some people would argue that you can accomplish much the same task with a tractor loader backhoe. However, there are some distinct advantages that the Mecalac MWR has over a tractor loader backhoe. Try driving 20 to 25 miles an hour down the road with a tractor loader backhoe. The machine becomes almost impossible to handle. “Once you get to the site, you have to deploy your downriggers and they take up a lot of real estate. The fact that the boom is center-mounted becomes a major issue from a visibility standpoint. Operators must constantly look around the boom to see what they are digging. And with the backhoe, you can only swing 180 degrees left and right. If you’re picking up a load of material, your truck has to be beside you or in front of you and you have to be able to reach out long enough to get the cast of material into the truck and that’s not necessarily always an option. With our wheeled machine, the truck can be just about anywhere, even behind the excavator and receive a load. It adds an awful lot of flexibility to the site.” The loader aspect of a tractor loader backhoe is very impractical, Andrews added. “The loader capacity is a yard and a quarter to a yard and a half. Every time you pick up a load, the operator has to be very conscious of that whole backhoe that’s behind him or her, which can be very cumbersome. The tractor loader backhoe original design was a farm tractor with a loader attachment and a backhoe attachment put on a machine that was really built for pulling, not digging.” Ultimately, Andrews said, with a wheeled excavator with 360-degree continuous slew, operators can load more quickly, more efficiently and take up less space on a job site, which is exactly why more and more contractors are finding high value in using Mecalac equipment.

The Mecalac 9MWR easily handles concrete barriers.

Kobo Utility finds that its Mecalac MWR easily handles some of the heaviest of attachments, including this Power-Vac vacuum attachment.

One of the biggest attractions to the compact wheel loader is its ease of transportation, whether it be the small footprint it has on your trailer or the ease of driving it down the road to the next job site.

Kobo Utility uses its Mecalac wheeled excavators just as commonly as skid steers and telehandlers.

Wheels Give Operators Substantially More Comfortable Ride CONTRACTOR from page 72

river area doing as little damage as possible. “Everything about the machine impressed me. It was exactly what I would expect from a Mecalac. Very stable, good maneuverability and as I had hoped, very little impact on the land surfaces that the machine traversed as long as we were in reasonably dry conditions.” At the end of the rental period, Canonica pulled the trigger on the purchase. The attachments for his 11MWR were virtually interchangeable with his Mecalac 10MCR, which included an Engcon tiltrotator, a digging bucket, a ripper, a sorting

grapple, a Rotastar screening bucket, a GMK multi-grab, a GMK tree shear, a Shearex mulcher and a Rammer plate compactor. After the purchase of the Mecalac 11MCR, the predicted ash borer work and related tree removal came to fruition, some of which occurred on extremely hot days, which would have made the asphalt particularly susceptible to surface damage. Canonica also started using the Mecalac for tree removal in the forest, where he found the machine to be particularly adept. “The four-wheel steering gives great maneuverability; you really notice it in tight spaces. The other thing you notice with the wheeled

machine versus the tracked machine is that the wheels give you a substantially more comfortable ride.” Canonica wasn’t sure if he would keep his Mecalac 10MCR after the purchase of the Mecalac 11MWR, but in the end analysis, he found that certain applications were more desirable for a tracked machine, while others called for the wheeled machine. Keeping both just made sense. “This year we did a lot of stonework with the wheeled machine. A lot of projects were right at the end of homeowner’s driveways and gravel roads, so often we were set up right on the hard road or the property

owner’s property. It was very noticeable how quick and comfortable the machine was and that we weren’t tearing up any surface area at all. “We are in a very rural area, so it’s not often that I get the benefit of driving the machine from project to project and eliminating the hauling process. But, when we can, it’s certainly nice to take advantage of that. I do appreciate how compact the machine is and it’s great to be able to load up the excavator and all of our attachments into a single load.” CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2023 Construction Equipment Guide.

DEVELON Unveils DX62R-7, DX63-7 Mini-Excavators DEVELON has introduced all-new 6metric-ton mini-excavators — the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 — for use in the United States and Canada. The two DEVELON excavators replace the previous iterations and join the line of next-generation -7 Series mini-excavators. The DX62R-7 and DX63-7 have an updated design and impressive horsepower and weight. These machines offer standard telematics, powerful digging and lifting, attachment versatility, exceptional operator comfort and durability features, according to the manufacturer. “The new DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini excavators have been updated inside and out from their predecessors,” said Jacob Sherman, product and dealer marketing manager at DEVELON. “They deliver impressive digging, uptime protection and smart technologies operators need to take on the toughest job sites. We’re pleased to be expanding our lineup of DEVELON -7 Series mini-excavators and designing them with more standard premium features, including telematics, high-performance air conditioning and much more.” Maneuverable, Powerful to Boost Productivity Developed to optimize productivity, the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators are equipped with features that enable operators to tackle big jobs in challenging environments. Top applications for these new DEVELON models include landscaping, construction and underground utilities. The DX62R-7 has a reduced tail swing design. The tail swing extends just a few inches beyond the width of the excavator tracks, minimizing the chances of encountering objects or buildings when rotating the machine. The DX63-7 is a conventional tail swing excavator. Both are available in standard or optional long arm configurations, for when more reach and dig depth are needed. For enhanced durability, the new -7 Series mini-excavators are designed with a widthprotected swing frame. Operators can get closer to their work, including being flush against a structure or wall, when offset digging. The excavators’ swing casting and cylinders remain within the track width at full left-swing, making it less likely that operators will damage these components when working in tight or confined areas. An integrated counterweight improves the machines’ lifting capacity and robustness. When turning, grading and maneuvering, the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini-excavators will auto downshift, so they won’t bog down when traveling. As the load decreases, the excavators automatically shift back into high range.

The DX62R-7 has a reduced tail swing design. The tail swing extends just a few inches beyond the width of the excavator tracks, minimizing the chances of encountering objects or buildings when rotating the machine.

To reduce noise, improve jobsite communications and save fuel, the standard auto idle feature idles the engine automatically when machine functions are not used for a few seconds. When an operator moves the controls, the excavator automatically returns to the previous throttle setting. A steel track undercarriage option is available for demolition work or other applications where working around sharp objects could damage the standard rubber tracks. New -7 Series mini-excavators offer steeltrack and rubber-shoe conversion with minimal modification required. Enhanced Attachment Versatility Standard on the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 is a thumb-ready arm that includes durable mounts integrated into the arm, eliminating the need for welding when adding a thumb. The new hydraulic quick-coupler-ready design with quick-coupler hydraulic piping installed to the end of the arm allows for easy attachment changes. Operators won’t need additional accessories to install a compatible quick coupler to the machine, helping to reduce the time it takes to switch attachments. The excavators offer one-way/two-way hydraulic flow. For improved control, hydraulic flow is activated through the joystick, not the pedal. One-way hydraulic flow see DEVELON page 90

Cat 255, 265 CTLs Deliver Powerful Lift, Tilt Breakout Forces Building on D3 series compact track loader success, the all-new, next generation Cat 255 and 265 compact track loaders are a ground-up redesign of the previous series, improving on the features that made the previous models so popular. The first next generation models in the compact track loader line, the 255 and 265 elevate Caterpillar’s loader reputation through improved engine performance, lift and tilt performance, stability, operator comfort and technology, the manufacturer said. “We kept the DNA of the D3 series while reimagining the possibilities of loader performance using voice of customer feedback to lead the way,” said Trevor Chase, product application specialist of Caterpillar. “Both next generation models leverage the many benefits offered by the vertical lift design. The new Cat 255 replaces the 259D3, while the 265 replaces both the 279D3 and 289D3 machines.” All Cat next generation compact track loaders are identified by the ending model number 5. The simplified nomenclature uses the middle number to represent machine size with larger numbers designating larger machines. New Performance Standard The new 255 and 265 loaders are powered by Cat C2.8T and Cat C2.8TA engines respectively, which offer 74.3 hp (55.4 kW). The new engines maintain horsepower across a wider RPM range and boast significant torque increases — The new 255 loader delivers class-leading lift height, and compared to the 259D3, delivers 36 percent more tilt gains of 13 percent for the 255 and 43 percent for the 265 — breakout, 26 percent higher lift breakout force and a 24 percent increase in rated operating capacity (ROC). for improved working performance. A redesigned engine compartment mounts the engine and cooling package lower into the frame for improved stability, giving the operator confidence in handling heavy loads and throughout all aspects of the work cycles. The new 255 loader delivers class-leading lift height, and compared to the 259D3, delivers 36 percent more tilt breakout, 26 percent higher lift breakout force and a 24 percent increase in rated operating capacity (ROC). Height to the B-pin for the 265, compared to the 289D3, increases by 7.6 in., resulting in a class-leading maximum lift height of 11 ft. for easier truck loading. The 265 also delivers 19 percent higher tilt breakout force and 22 percent higher lift breakout force. Standard hydraulic system pressure is increased to 3,500 psi (24130 kPa). New for these next generation machines, the closed-center auxiliary hydraulic system allows the 255 and 265 to operate all Cat Smart Attachments, including the Cat Smart Dozer Blade, with the standard auxiliary hydraulics provided. For machines equipped with Standard Flow, both models are shipped from the factory outfitted as “High Flow ready.” The High Flow functionality is easily activated via a new software enabled attachment (SEA), permitting on- Height to the B-pin for the 265, compared to the 289D3, increases by 7.6 in., resulting in a class-leading maximum lift height machine or remote activation of increased of 11 ft. for easier truck loading.

A range of new mechanical and air-ride suspension seat options are available for the 255 and 265 loaders, including a high-comfort seat that is both ventilated and heated. New auto temperature control plus vent outlet positioning above the operator helps the new HVAC system to quickly cool the cab’s interior. Next generation loaders are equipped with either a 5-in. standard LCD monitor or an 8-in. advanced touchscreen monitor, depending on the technology package selected. Like the D3 series’ advanced display, the standard monitor features Bluetooth connectivity and supports functionality for rearview camera feed, creep, job clock, maintenance reminders and 32 languages. The advanced touchscreen monitor provides a higher level of control over standard monitor functionality, delivers advanced radio control, and supports the multicamera 270-degree option and 32 language choices. The new advanced joysticks provide integrated control of the advanced touchscreen monitor so all machine function control and adjustments can be made without the operator removing their hands from the controls. Featuring a low entry point, entering and exiting the 255 and 265 loaders is much easier. The redesign allows the operator to open the cab door without the lift arms being fully lowered to the frame stops. A simplified two-step door removal process allows operators to quickly remove it without tools. Visibility is improved via the lower engine mounting, a 59 percent larger rear window and bigger top window that provides a 15 percent increase in viewable area.

impossible to find skilled operators. With user-friendly controls and intuitive interfaces, CCE empowers a broader range of operators to contribute effectively to construction projects, mitigating the impact of the labor shortage. Many contractors have successfully onboarded team members who are entirely new to the industry, starting them as skid steer or compact wheel loader operators. Staying Competitive in Variety of Jobs As urban areas expand, construction sites come in all shapes, sizes and schedules. Many contractors want machines that can work on several job sites with various attachments or technology upgrades. Contractors said they can evolve with their CCE through attachments like the 4-in-1 buckets, which are available to fit on skid steers, compact track loaders and compact tractors. Other contractors expand their consistent productivity through Topcon's GPS technology, including MC-Mobile, which combines

machine control and survey technology to let compact equipment operators measure, design and build jobs with the same system. When construction sites are tight, compact machines enhance job site safety by increasing visibility and control. Operators can maneuver these machines more precisely, minimizing the risk of accidents. Additionally, remote operation capabilities with Teleo’s Supervised Autonomy allow operators to control equipment from a safe distance, particularly in hazardous situations. Once considered nice to have support equipment but secondary to heavy equipment counterparts, compact construction machines have earned their place in equipment fleets of all sizes. Not only have they become more sought after because of their proven capabilities, but their flexibility and lower cost of entry allow operators to take advantage of these machines’ proven efficiency. Contact a equipment expert if you’re ready to find the right machine — or multiple compact machines.  (This article was reprinted with permission of RDO Equipment Co.)

Things to Consider When Choosing Yanmar Debuts New Compact Excavators Over Skid Steers V7 Compact Wheel By Darren Ashton, Volvo CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

The skid steer loader has been referred to as the Swiss army knife of construction equipment — just swap out the attachment and you can have a compact backhoe, an auger boring machine, a snowplow or a pallet mover. The industry’s effort to standardize attachment interfaces between manufacturers made this possible. There has been a similar standardization across compact excavators in recent years, which has created some exciting possibilities. Some might even go as far as to say that compact excavators are the new Swiss army knives. Both are certainly useful machines, but here are four good reasons why a compact excavator might be a better choice for your fleet than a skid steer. Attachment Versatility If you’re reading this, you might be looking for a small machine to use in multiple ways. A compact excavator is a great option because of how many different attachments it can support. Here are some of the mainstays it can handle: • General-purpose buckets: for diverse earth- A compact excavator is a great option because of how many moving work different attachments it can support. • Tilt buckets: for landscaping finish work • Grapple buckets: for picking up loose mateSimplifying Service rials such as scrap, waste and brush Compact excavators are very easy to service because • Thumbs: for picking up and placing objects like large everything is in one compartment under a wide-opening rocks • Moil-style hammer tools: for breaking up non-abrasive engine hood that is at ground level — no lying on the ground or hunching over required. Filters are grouped to make servmaterials (soft rock, clay, brick, wood, drywall, etc.) • Chisel-style hammer tools: for hard rock excavation and icing straightforward, and some OEMs’ in-cab screens provide maintenance interval reminders to keep uptime at the breaking concrete or asphalt • Blunt hammer tools: for breaking blasted rock in crusher forefront. With skid steers, reaching the frequently checked items applications can be difficult since they only have one access point without In addition to using these trusted standbys, compact excavators can also power through work with breakers, augers, lifting the cab. For the more complex parts, lifting the cab brush cutters, mulchers, pallet forks, plate compactors and can be difficult for one person — and this area gets quite dirty. rippers. Another maintenance-related feature that some mini excavator models have is an auto engine shutdown and/or auto Maximum Compatibility Most equipment manufacturers offer attachment brackets idle feature, which lowers fuel costs and noise and greatly for their excavators, not all of which are compatible with reduces maintenance costs while protecting resale value (hours accumulated). other manufacturers’ attachments. One of the best options for a mixed fleet is to go with a pin Options to Be Creative grabber-style quick coupler, because it works across a variI’ve seen customers use compact excavators in some pretety of attachments and brands. Tiltrotators also have changed the game over the years by making any attachment more ty unique ways. Much of that is because they have higher reach and better visibility than skid steers and a 360-degree flexible and versatile. Compatibility isn’t all in the interface, however. The swing radius and more blade options than before. By thinking beyond the typical buckets and hammers, you machine itself must be adequately equipped. When evaluatmay discover some significant competitive advantages on ing a compact excavator purchase, I suggest choosing a machine that has, at minimum, single-acting and double-act- the job site. This is where tiltrotators, tilt buckets and grading ing hydraulics to ensure that a variety of attachments are buckets come in. Placing rocks, drainage grading and “creative ideas” can be performed with the right tools. compatible. Bottom line: if you do a variety of work and are willing to Float and angle blades also are becoming more common on compact excavators, and with more intuitive controls, think outside the box, you should consider a compact excavator as a primary machine for your job site.  leveling and shaping ground is easier than ever.

the center of the wheel loader instead of the rear. This maximizes ground contact with all four wheels for optimal tractive force. The new model is built with the operator in mind. It features a comfortable cab and excellent all-around visibility, making long workdays easier. The enclosed cab configuration features two steel frame doors and a standard front sun blind to reduce glare. Operators will enjoy the extra visibility provided by the steel frame doors as well as the convenience and extra ventilation that comes from having doors on both sides of the cab. The V7’s high-backed seat is heated and includes ergonomic armrests and mechanical suspension. Radio with Bluetooth provides operators with individualized entertainment. Additionally, the wheel loader improves safety and convenience with a highly visible, fully integrated and removable rotating beacon. Ergonomic joystick controls simplify machine operation. Creep mode allows for precise attachment control while Automatic Ride Control with Limited Slip Differential improves convenience and efficiency. Operators can easily access relevant machine information and options via a color display. Yanmar offers the V7 in canopy and enclosed cab with heat and A/C configurations. Efficiency The V7 includes several efficiency-enhancing features. Bright LED lights improve work area visibility while optimizing power consumption. Operators can move around the jobsite faster using the machine’s 18.6-mph travel speed. Hydraulic quick couplers allow fast attachment changeout. Contractors can lift loads with precision without the need for constant readjustment of the load angle thanks to the V7’s parallel kinematics. The feature — also called PKinematics — is especially ideal for use with pallet forks as it keeps material level as you raise and lower the load. Yanmar’s V7 is highly maneuverable and easy to transport. The machine’s center articulation and oscillation joint make it possible for the wheel loader to achieve a low 98.4in. height and an even lower center of gravity, meaning less risk of clearance issues, the ability to fit into shipping containers, and better maneuverability on tight job sites. Additionally, the machine’s low operating weight and low center of gravity improve ease of trailering. Reliability The V7 features ease of maintenance for service items and daily check points, including convenience grease point access. Yanmar offers maintenance kits that provide common maintenance and wear part replacement items conveniently in one place for the V7. Like all Yanmar equipment, the new model includes Yanmar’s proven durability and reliability standards. That is backed by a 3-year/3,000-hour warranty.

Deere Expands Line of P-Tier Compact Wheel Loader Models Addressing the needs of customers looking for compact solutions that provide enhanced maneuverability, stability and power, John Deere expands its Performance Tiering offerings with the shift from L-Series to P-Tier for the 244, 324 and 344 compact wheel loader models. The new P-Tier compact wheel loaders will carry over all L-Series features and will introduce new productivityenhancing qualities, including standard ride control in base models and optional factory-installed features, including an auto-reversing fan option. Additional optional features include attachment assist controls, which include integrated electrical (three-pin) controls for attachments and combined creep control and throttle lock. “As we continue to make the shift from past generation machines to our current generation of Performance Tiering models, we aim to keep the same features our customers know and trust on the L-Series models, with the added benefits of new productivity enhancements only available on the PTier machines,” said Luke Gribble, P-Tier compact wheel loaders continue to feature Articulation Plus, which enables rear-wheel steering to increase full-turn tipping solutions marketing manager, John load and improve maneuverability.

Ideal for customers moving materials over long distances, or on hard surfaces, ride control cushions boom movements during transport, acting like a shock absorber to help minimize material spillage. Increasing operator comfort and productivity, this feature is applied with a flip of a switch in the cab and can be set to automatically engage and disengage at a predetermined speed. In addition, P-Tier compact wheel loaders continue to feature industry-exclusive Articulation Plus, which enables rear-wheel steering to increase full-turn tipping load and improve maneuverability. This steering system combines 30 degrees of standard articulation with an additional 10 degrees of rear-wheel steering. Articulation Plus also provides a significantly higher full-turn tipping load than machines without this feature, as the machine does not need to articulate as much to turn, according to the manufacturer. This feature results in a tighter turning radius than comparatively sized loaders without Articulation Plus. Designed to provide increased ease of use for operators when utilizing attachments, the upgraded combined creep control and throttle lock found within the attachment assist controls package allows customers to run their machines with higher RPMs and lower ground speeds with overall fewer manual inputs. An enhanced pause and resume function means that reactivating the feature after a change in direction or switch to neutral is seamless as well.

Remember during the pandemic when we were huddled at home uncertain about the future, the economy and when we could go back to work? The Small Business Administration stepped in and offered dirt cheap loans for 30 years. It seemed too good to pass up for many. It was nearly free money that wasn’t going to be a burden to pay back. When we are looking for the bright side of things, we don’t always notice how that might turn on us or how obligated we will become. Within the papers signed, you authorized the SBA to file a blanket lien — on all of your business assets, all of your equipment and other personal property of your business. That means when you sell any asset, they want to be notified, just like your bank and the line of credit. It doesn’t matter if you used the funding, or it

It would have been awesome if they had provided information on what steps you would need to take, who to contact and how much time it would take to get a response, when you want to sell something. Then again, they might have, but in the honeymoon moment of getting the funding, it wasn’t important. The problem now is people are afraid of contacting the government. It feels like if asking for a release on one piece, they might take your business. Many sell their assets under their personal name instead of the business name, so the lien is not uncovered. That is fraud. If you purchased under the business name, you must sell under the business name. There are three offices for the SBA — El Paso, Texas; Birmingham Ala.; and Santa Ana, Calif.

Fort Myer Construction Works On Giving John Deere Makes Washington, D.C., New Entrance to City $300,000 Donation to AED Foundation D.C. from page 1

One project will help craft a more pleasing entrance to the city for people traveling into D.C. from the north. Planners hope that the project will help transform the mishmash of intersecting roads into corridors that will be less confusing and more aesthetic. The second project will involve safety upgrades to the Rosslyn Tunnel that carries traffic from Virgina into the city along I-66. Coincidentally, one of the roads passing on top of the tunnel is Fort Myer Drive, the original home for the company. Together the two projects will cost close to $60 million. The Rosslyn Tunnel, 0.2 mi. long, first opened to traffic in 1983 and averages 64,000 vehicles per day. A key component to this work will be fireproofing the roof of the tunnel and removing the existing tunnel ceiling. Sam Patel, DBIA, vice president of Fort Meyer, is overseeing both projects. Fort Myer began work on the tunnel in the summer 2022. Patel and his team are working with Virginia DOT (VDOT) on the project and expect to be finished in three years. “We will be using a special cementitious material that is fireproof,” said Patel. “Only a handful of vendors in the country are licensed to do this kind of work. We will be using several specialty cranes to do the work, plus painting equipment to apply the material.” Patel estimates that the work is 25 percent complete. “We are being particularly vigilant with safety because of the heavy traffic flowing through the tunnel,” Patel said. “Since the tunnel is protected from the weather, we should be able to make good progress on the work during the winter months.” In addition to the fireproofing work that will protect the businesses and streets that are above the tunnel, the work team will repair steel beams, abutments and pier concrete. Workers also will replace the tunnel lighting system and will clean and repair bridge bearings. Bearings do the important task of enabling the bridge to expand and contract. They also relieve pressure on the beams as traffic passes over the bridge. Washington D.C.’s Front Door New York Avenue, on the north-

east side of the city, carries traffic that telescopes down from a highway into a busy city street with multiple intersections to other city thoroughfares. Workers are currently relocating utilities before beginning the work to transform this section of the city. Fort Myer’s work will take place in the trendy NoMa (short for North of Massachusetts Avenue) neighborhood. The area is home to Union Station, Gallaudet University and trendy shops emerging from old lots. The Metropolitan Branch bike trail, formerly a part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, passes through the area and serves thousands of commuters and cyclists. The construction will mesh well with the growth happening in NoMa. The Florida Avenue NE and New York Avenue NE Intersection Project will improve safety by adding two-way traffic to First Street NE and two-way traffic to Florida Avenue. The project will add considerable greenspace by creating four new parks.

The District Department of Transportation outlined the need for this project on its website: “Florida Avenue, NE is a complex corridor with multiple land uses, varying roadway conditions, and important transit connections. The corridor serves as the main street for the Gallaudet University campus and residents of Wards 5 and 6, as well as an increasingly popular regional destination following the development of Union Market and the NoMa business district.” Patel described his team’s complex job of making this plan happen. “The work zone will be challenging as there are many pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists traveling through the area. Our construction teams will be installing decorative hardscape, granite benches and other landscaping that will make the parks attractive. It will have protected bike lanes and other means promoting multimodal use.” The work is expected to be completed at the end of 2024.  CEG (All photos courtesy of Fort Myer Construction.)

Acknowledging and supporting the many challenges facing the industry, John Deere Construction & Forestry has made a donation of $300,000 to the AED Foundation (AEDF), helping to shape the next generation of construction professionals. John Deere is actively involved in helping the AED develop college accreditation standards, and currently has five AED accredited John Deere TECH Programs in the United States. Those programs include Hinds Community College, Suny Cobleskill, Wake Technical Community College, Linn-Benton Community College and North Dakota State College of Science. In addition, more than one-third of John Deere Construction & Forestry dealerships in The United States and Canada have contributed to the AEDF, further supporting its mission to expand industry-specific professional education and workforce development. John Deere also continues to collaborate with the AEDF to align on John Deere and AED certification programs. The AEDF is a critical non-profit foundation supporting the heavy equipment industry, which helps actively address the skilled labor shortage through community-based industry and position-specific professional education programs. By working with equipment dealers, manufacturers and industry educators, the AEDF is working toward its goal of growing the talent pool of skilled technicians for the heavy equipment industry. “At John Deere, we have always believed that supporting the next generation of industry professionals through handson training and resource development can create an even stronger and smarter industry for the future,” said Dan Fitzpatrick, director, production systems, technology and marketing, John Deere. “That’s why we are thrilled to celebrate our relationship with the AED Foundation and its impactful support of the industry through their efforts to champion workforce development.” John Deere is fully committed to supporting the future workforce entering the industry. Beyond its support of the AEDF, John Deere has provided technician development programs through its network of dealerships for more than 30 years, helping to shape the next generation of John Deere technicians across the United States and Canada.

OSHA Puts Major Emphasis On Mitigating Fall Hazards OSHA from page 1

came in at number two. “Incredible” advancements are made in safety each year, said Lorraine Martin, NSC president and CEO. But “we continue to see many of the same types of violations appear on OSHA’s Top 10 list,” she added. Mitigating the Risk OSHA put a major emphasis on its fall hazards program this year as a way to help mitigate the safety risks to both workers and employers. The national emphasis program (NEP) has no expiration date, said employment attorneys of Ogletree Deakins. According to the NSC, 136 workers died and nearly 128,000 were injured in same-level falls. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that of the 5,190 fatal workplace injuries in 2021, 680 were associated with falls from elevations. That equates to approximately 13 percent of all deaths, reported Ogletree Deakins, noting that the NEP should come as no surprise to contractors. “Particularly those in the construction industry,” said John D. Surma, a Houston, Texas, shareholder, and Jaslyn Johnson, an associate, Atlanta, Ga. “BLS data shows that ‘fatalities caused by falls continue to be a leading cause of death for all workers.’” The number of violations is more than double the next most frequently cited standard, hazard communication. The NEP combines enforcement through hazard-based inspection targeting and locally generated programmed targeting in construction. The goal is to significantly reduce or eliminate unprotected worker exposures to fall-related hazards that can result in serious injuries and deaths. “Interestingly, locally generated programmed targeting in construction under the NEP is optional,” said Surma and Johnson. “The NEP only encourages OSHA regional and area offices to develop targeting methods that effectively reach industry sectors where fall protection is often lacking. Ultimately, the NEP gives regional and area offices considerable discretion in how much effort, if any, to devote to programmed enforcement.” The two from Ogletree Deakins noted nearly 31 percent of OSHA’s inspections from 2014 through 2021 were related to falls. “And from 2017 through the present, the most common standard for which OSHA conducted inspections, issued citations and imposed penalties, has been fall protection in residential construction.” The law firm said with inspections opened upon infraction observation, employers could expect to see increased inspections related to falls in 2023. Statistics Pile Up OSHA’s fall protection standard guides contractors in where fall protection is required, which systems are appropriate given the situation. It also outlines proper construction and installation of safety systems and the proper prevention supervision, according to Safety and Health Magazine. S&H noted the standard is designed to protect employees on walking-working surfaces with an unprotected side or edge above 6 ft. There were more than 5,000 violations of the standard’s section related to residential construction at 6 ft. or more see OSHA page 108

Infractions related to powered industrial trucks were cited 173 times this year. Any industrial truck in need of repair, defective or unsafe must be taken out of service until it has been restored to safe operating condition.

OSHA standards state that employers must ensure — before any employee performs any servicing or maintenance of a powered machine — that the machine is isolated from the energy source.

Comparing Brine Sprayers, Anti-Icing Liquids By Brett Hart SPECIAL TO CEG

If you’re in the snow and ice removal industry, you’ve undoubtedly heard about salt brine or brine sprayers. But if you’re new to the industry those terms may leaving you asking the question, “What is salt brine?” What Is Salt Brine? Salt brine is a term commonly used to describe an anti-icing pretreatment liquid used by commercial snow and ice removal

professionals on everything from highways and city streets to sidewalks, stairs and parking lots. Like other salt-based de-icing products, salt brine lowers the freezing temperature of water, meaning that it must get much colder outside for the rain, sleet and snow that falls onto these surfaces to freeze and adhere to the roadways or walkways. It is especially helpful in areas where ice would typically adhere fastest, such as bridges or overpasses. That lower freezing temperature is the reason salt brine can be available in liquid form as the salt (sodium chloride) is dis-

solved in water to make it sprayable. At a roughly 23 percent concentration, salt brine has a freezing point of -6 F. Sometimes beet juice is used to lower the freezing temperature of salt brine as low as -20 F, depending on the concentration.

KAGE Innovation offers LiquidRage, a versatile 150-gal. boomless brine sprayer designed for use with anti-ice liquids.

used by municipalities and professional snow fighters for ice control at even lower temperatures. Those include: see BRINE page 112

Which Anti-Icing Chemicals Come in Liquid Brine Form? While salt brine is the most commonly-used form of anti-icing pretreatment, due in part to its affordability, there also are numerous chemical options

KAGE Innovation’s LiquidRage ice-fighting brine sprayer offers two different types of valve kits for applying liquids.

Iowa DOT Testing ‘Whip Lights’ for Highway Snowplows

Iowa DOT photo

This winter, the Iowa Department of Transportation will be testing new “whip lights” on several of its snowplows.

This winter, the Iowa Department of Transportation will be testing new “whip lights” on several of its snowplows — lights attached to the edge of the plow to not only better highlight the vehicle’s position to oncoming traffic, but also provide a “visual cue” to the plow operator. Those amber “whip lights” will eventually take the place of the flags currently used to show the edge of the plow blade, the agency said. “We’ve used these whip lights pretty extensively around the state on wing plows on the side of the trucks and tow plows that are being pulled behind a truck,” said Tina Greenfield of Iowa DOT’s maintenance bureau, in a recent blog post. “They work very well to help drivers see where the plow blade is working. Now, we’re taking this technology a step further and attaching them to the front plow blade.” Different lengths of lights will be tested on plows in several Iowa DOT shops around the state, she added. “We have a number of different trucks with different dimensions,” Greenfield said. “We want the whip lights to be in the view of the operator, but we don’t want them too tall. We’re experimenting with both 18-inch and 24-inch lights.” While she said that such whip lights are “a simple concept,” they also offer the potential to provide a big safety impact, especially on rural two-lane roads. “One of our goals when we’re plowing these roads is to expose the paint lines, especially the center line,” Greenfield explained. “That means we’re plowing very close to oncoming traffic. The easier it is to see where the plow is working, the safer we’ll all be when we share the road.” The Iowa DOT noted that it has been experimenting with several technologies — including new lighting and wiper blade systems — to improve snowplow safety during the past year. 

Brine, Anti-Icing Applications Have Different Effects BRINE from page 111

• Calcium Magnesium Acetate (-17.5 F freezing point at ~33 percent concentration) • Magnesium Chloride (-28 F freezing point at ~22 percent concentration) • Calcium Chloride (-63 F freezing point at ~30 percent concentration) • Potassium Acetate (-76 F freezing point at ~49 percent concentration) How to Spray Salt Brine? Depending on the type and size of area you need to spray with salt brine you can find different kinds of sprayers with various sizes of tanks designed to work on equipment such as: • trucks (up to 2,642 gal.) • tow behind trailers (up to 4,035 gal.) • tractors (up to 500 gal. on 3-point hitch) • skid steers (up to 1,025 gal.) • UTVs (up to 150 gal.) • front end loaders (up to 150 gal.) Generally liquid anti-icing sprayers deliver the liquids in two different ways — boom sprayers and boomless sprayers. Boom sprayers typically dispense the brine spraying downward to penetrate lightly covered surface while boomless sprayers dispense outward for larger coverage of snow- and ice-free surfaces.

Most brine sprayers will be able to accommodate each type of anti-icing brine but be careful if you decide to mix beet juice in with your salt brine as it can plug filters or gum up valves as it tends to be sticky in nature. How Much Does Salt Brine Weigh? Just because a sprayer tank can hold large quantities of brine, doesn’t always mean it should. You also should take into account the weight of both the sprayer system and its contents and make sure that your carrier or machine is up to the task. Keep in mind that salt brine, mixed at a 23 percent concentration, includes roughly 2.5 lbs. of sodium chloride and 7.5 lbs. of water per gal. of brine. This means each gallon of brine weighs 10 lbs. To put this in perspective, KAGE has put together a quick guide below for reference on the brine weight you should expect at different quantities. • 50 gal. of salt brine = 500 lbs. • 100 gal. = 1,000 lbs. • 150 gal. = 1,500 lbs. • 250 gal. = 2,500 lbs. • 500 gal. = 5,000 lbs. • 1,000 gal. = 10,000 lbs.

• 2,000 gal. = 20,000 lbs. • 4,000 gal. = 40,000 lbs. Be sure to check how much weight your machine is designed to handle.

apply. If the storm has passed, plowing has taken place and another storm is moving in, it’s also best to re-apply to maximize the effectiveness of its ice-repelling superpower.

When Should Anti-Icing Brine Be Applied? Salt brine should be applied up to 48 hours before a winter storm to prevent ice and snow build up. It also can be used to prevent frost and black ice for up to three days. Calcium magnesium acetate should be applied just before or within the first couple hours of a storm. Some companies selling this type of de-icer claim it lasts three times as long as other anti-icing chemicals. Magnesium chloride should be applied during snowstorms while the roads or other surfaces are wet. Calcium chloride should be applied up to 48 hours before heavy snow and works well with rock salt that is often applied during and after snowstorms. Like most pre-treatment brines, potassium acetate should be applied up to 48 hours in advance of a storm. Liquid ice melt pretreatments lose effectiveness after 72 hours and can wash away or wear away. If it is applied more than 48 hours in advance of a storm, it’s best to re-

LiquidRage Brine Sprayer KAGE Innovation offers a versatile 150gal. boomless brine sprayer designed for use with all the previously-mentioned anti-ice liquids (except beet juice). It can be used on everything from skid steers to tractors to front end loaders and UTVs. Its 150-gal. capacity is the largest in the front end loader and UTV sprayer market. This ice-fighting brine sprayer offers two different types of valve kits for applying the liquids. The standard nozzle kit sprays mostly downward to cover swaths up to 10 ft. wide and are designed to penetrate small amounts of hard-packed snow. The broadcast nozzle kit offers the ability to spray farther to the side on either side of the tank — or both sides, giving up to a 30ft. wide swath option. These nozzles work best when applying to already clear asphalt.  (This article was reprinted with the permission of KAGE Innovation. All photos courtesy of KAGE Innovation.)

HD Hyundai Set to Expands Its Future Builder Vision at CES XITE from page 114

Xite Transformation is HD Hyundai’s vision to solve pressing challenges humanity is facing such as safety, security, supply chain issues, climate change and more. The company is eager to embrace its role as a “Future Builder” by expanding its sustainability focus beyond ocean infrastructure to also include land infrastructure. At CES 2023, HD Hyundai shared its Ocean Transformation strategy, which aims to fundamentally change the way the ocean is utilized and to explore the infinite potential of the marine ecosystem. This year marks the third consecutive year for HD Hyundai to participate in CES as it spreads its influence as a keynote speaker. Now, the company plans to expand on its previous vision to include transformative land infrastructure ideas. HD Hyundai’s exhibit at CES 2024 will consist of three main themes: Future Xite, Twin Xite and Zero Xite. Future Xite will present what the future of next-generation construction machines will look like when utilizing advanced unmanned

and automation technologies. Twin Xite will introduce site control solutions and remote control technologies based on digital twins. Zero Xite will focus on exhibiting the company’s wide experience and technological capabilities for green energy value chains. According to HD Hyundai, “We are committed to being a Future Builder as we continue to design a brighter world for humanity, from ocean to Xite. We are excited to share our plans for how we are creating a sustainable future through a shift in the industry’s paradigm with those attending the show.” Chung’s keynote speech will take place on Jan. 10. Representing the third Korean and third non-consumer electronics company, Chung will showcase how comprehensive innovation in building smart infrastructure will shape a more sustainable future. The keynote will be given at the Venetian hotel in the Palazzo Ballroom on Level 5. In addition to HD Hyundai, other global toptier companies, including Siemens, Walmart, L’Oreal, Nasdaq, Qualcomm and Elevance Health also will be delivering a keynote at CES 2024. 
