onExpo-Con/AGG and IFPE 2017 attendees clearly came to Las Vegas ready to buy as exhibitors said they had enjoyed tremendous sales activity throughout the week. “This has been one of the best editions of ConExpo-Con/AGG — ever,” said Rich Goldsbury, 2017 ConExpo-Con/AGG chair and CEO and president of Doosan Bobcat North America & Oceania. “Exhibitors are writing sales at an incredible pace, and attendees clearly came to Las Vegas to buy.” “There was an element of confidence and pent-up demand at the show,” said Dave Foster, vice president of marketing & corporate communications of Volvo CE. “These are not tire-kickers. These are people who are willing to buy multiple machines for work they have now and anticipated growth based on a renewed confidence in the market.” A series of key metrics reflected the improved conditions, which were bol-

stered by a new pricing strategy intended to reinforce the overall quality of ConExpoCon/AGG and IFPE 2017 attendees. • U.S. buyer attendance jumped more than 16 percent from the 2014 show, and total buyer attendance improved by almost 8 percent. • Overall contractor and producer attendance grew by 10 percent.

• Total attendance neared 128,000 for the week. • Almost half of all attendees serve in executive positions at their company, and more than 3-in-5 attendees serve in a decision-making role. • Almost 26,000 international attendees from see CONEXPO page 12

Football Returns to ETSU’s Campus With Stadium Project By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

In Johnson City, Tenn., fans are making plans to attend home games at East Tennessee State University (ETSU), as work continues on a new football stadium. Construction is on schedule, as the Buccaneers prepare to host Limestone College on Sept. 2. “The last football game hosted on campus was in the Mini-Dome more than 10 years ago,” said Bill Rasnick, ETSU associate vice president of facilities management. “The football program was eliminated at that time, due to budget concerns. There is a lot of excitement from all about completion of the stadium, which will bring fall football back to the campus and to an outdoor stadium for the first time since the 1970s. Patterned after a classic horseshoe design and situated at the foot of Buffalo Mountain in the campus’ southwest corner, the new stadium will include about 7,000 seats, with the option to add seating to accommodate more than 10,000 people. It will feature a large concourse between the east and west stands. A press box and multiple suites are planned for the west side. Concessions and restrooms will be located on both ends. A video board will be placed on the south end of the stadium, with the main entrance gate positioned on the east side, opening toward the main campus along Dossett Drive. Nearly 4,000 parking spaces are being created. “The stadium project is a very complicated process, and broken into multiple phases to improve the overall delivery schedule,” said Rasnick. “The process is interesting, as it involves elements of construction not found in many standard projects. We have recently been working on food service and the video board, which will be the final pieces. It’s exciting to watch the progress each day, and look back at how far we have come since summer of 2016.” The Phase 1 stadium budget is $25.9 million, with the cost covered by student fees and local funds. Officials said the new stadium’s completion will be the culmination of several years of planning, design and construction. After students approved the funding, the project was given the go ahead by the state building commission. Significant input was received from fans on campus and in the community to help shape the stadium concept. Bringing football back to ETSU is considered essential to the future vision for the school, students and alumni. The University’s enrollment goal of 18,000 is reportedly within reach, with football serving as a crucial part of that effort. An ETSU College of Business economic impact study

found that $32.5 million in annual spending will be achieved as a result of the estimated 500 ETSU students associated with football, band and other programs. As work got underway on the project, the stadium site had a number of campus operations that had to be relocated, requiring a great deal of planning. “Several facilities operations were relocated to the warehouse area located on the southeast corner of campus. A number of parking spaces were also lost with the stadium construction. A new parking lot south of Nell Dossett Hall is currently in design to help offset those losses. The Basler Challenge Course also had to be relocated to the northwest of the soccer complex to provide adequate space for the stadium,” said Rasnick. “A number of faculty and staff were relocated across campus when the two houses they were occupying were demolished for the stadium site. Generally, the planning and relocation of these facilities and operations has led to more efficient operations and better facilities.” At a November 2015 groundbreaking ceremony on the site of the new facility, the ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics celebrated the official start of con-

struction. University president Dr. Brian Noland was among the officials turning shovels of dirt. A pigskin also was tossed playfully, as the crowd clapped in anticipation of the project. ETSU athletic director Dr. Richard Sander said the stadium represents a new beginning. “When we play that first game in this new, beautiful stadium, everyone one of you should feel good about that, because it’s not only a statement about ETSU athletics and ETSU football, it’s a statement about a bunch of people making something worthwhile come together.” Bristol, Tenn.-based BurWil Construction was tapped as the construction manager and general contractor for the new stadium, with McCarty Holsaple McCarty Inc. serving as the project architect. The initial notice to proceed on the miscellaneous scope bid package was issued in December, 2015. The notice to proceed on the main stadium construction was issued the following June. “Currently under construction are the skybox, northwest toilet concession building, the northeast turf maintenance and toilet concession building, the east gate construction and the concrete seating bowl,” said Christopher Broglio, LEED AP, BurWil senior project manager and estimator. “The con-

crete seating bowl is being constructed as a cast in place structure. The concrete contractor has currently poured 30 of the 54 subsections, in addition to eight of the nine cast in place concrete retaining walls required to construct the stadium. The last wall to be poured is the south field wall, which will be installed once the east concrete seating bowl has been finished. The west side of the concrete bowl has already been completed.” Construction of the synthetic turf field is expected to start in May. Crews have yet to begin placing all the site concourse concrete. They also must install the LED video board, which is in the bid phase, and complete the four buildings currently being built. Work on the stadium project is being performed under the state of Tennessee sustainable design guidelines. Broglio said there is much work ahead, as the late summer deadline approaches. “The skybox is a three-story structure constructed with a structural steel frame. The exterior walls are metal stud framed and clad with a combination of brick veneer and insulated metal panels. The elevated slabs are five inches thick, and poured out of lightweight concrete over metal decking. The front of the skybox has tiered levels for see ETSU page 22

Metso’s exhibit stood out with a host of crushing and screening equipment on display.

Huge crowds packed every walkway at ConExpo 2017.

150 countries braved global headwinds including a strong dollar and flagging export markets and composed nearly 20 percent of overall attendance. • Attendees purchased a record-breaking 52,000 tickets for education sessions at the show, a 26 percent increase from the 2014 show. Total ticket sales excluding IFPE jumped by more than 27 percent compared with 2014. “I think there is a noticeable difference in the attendees at this show, and the difference is their optimism,” said Gradall Industries President and 2017 Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Chair Michael Haberman. “Optimism was on display throughout the show, and the traffic was excellent.” At the same time, the technological change revolutionizing these industries was pervasive across the shows’ record 2.8 million-plus net sq. ft. of exhibits featuring a record 2,800-plus exhibitors from the leading U.S. and global manufacturers, from multinational giants to small firms with specialized products. The world’s first 3D-printed excavator, the brand-new Tech Experience and a stellar education lineup anchored a forward-looking vision for construction and infrastructure on display at ConExpoCon/AGG and IFPE 2017. “Our shows are renowned as an industry showcase of ‘what’s next,’ and this year’s show did not disappoint. From the new Tech Experience, which highlighted the vital connection between technology and construction to the culmination of AEM’s Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge, this year’s show demonstrated the rapid innovation in our industry,” said Goldsbury. The technological changes revolutionizing construction and manufacturing were a central feature throughout the show. The first-ever Tech Experience pavilion attracted solid traffic throughout the week, as attendees flocked to see the world’s first-ever 3D-printed excavator, hear from industry innovators during a collection of “Tech Talks,” and engage with the conclusion of the Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge Finale, which awarded $100,000 in prize money to

Sennebogen Green Machines filled the Gold Lot at ConExpo. The Komatsu booth was jam-packed with attendees.

winners over a crowdsourced competition to develop forward-looking infrastructure solutions. “Keeping pace with technology is critical for our industries’ success and the 3D-printed excavator featuring fluid power innovations, is a perfect example of the shows’ future-forward commitment to explore innovations that are happening now and the exciting possibilities ahead,” said Robert Mortensen, IFPE 2017 chair and president of HUSCO International. At the Tech Experience, three interactive zones gave attendees a firsthand glimpse at the technologies shaping the job sites of tomorrow, infrastructure development and workforce development. The “Tech Talks” forum at the Tech Experience gave attendees a chance to hear from global innovators and technology leaders to discuss what lies ahead. The forum’s content-rich presentations aimed to inspire and inform attendees, with an emphasis on applied and bluesky innovation to benefit infrastructure projects and construction job sites. Among the lineup were Bruce Upbin, vice president of strategic communications, Hyperloop One; D’Arcy Salzmann, senior director, strategy, Microsoft HoloLens & Studio Manager, Future Bureau, Microsoft; Captains Mark & Scott Kelly, former NASA astronauts; and Scott Brusaw, co-founder, Solar Roadways. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) helped to convene a high-level conversation on the future of transportation infrastructure as five finalists squared off in the Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge Finale event. The top winner: a proposal from a pair of University of California-Berkeley students to leverage autonomous vehicle technology to develop a surge-priced “Hyperlane” to ease congestion and improve mobility. AEM launched the incentivized competition to generate crowdsourced solutions to address the future of infrastructure here in America, and throughout the world. The campaign’s three phases — Complain, Dream, and Build — drew hundreds of ideas from across the world about how to revolutionize infrastructure.

New Horseshoe-Shaped Stadium to Include 7,000 Seats ETSU from page 8

seating and viewing of the football field on the second and third floor. The bottom floor contains the West Club hospitality area. The second floor is the suite level, and the third floor contains two suites for spectators and suites for the coaches and media. “The toilet concessions buildings, as the name implies, contain the restrooms for the stadium and two concession areas. They are constructed with steel joist roof system bearing on CMU walls, which are clad with brick veneer to match the other buildings on campus.” Broglio said that the turf maintenance garage area is constructed in the basement of the northeast toilet concession building. The exterior walls of the turf maintenance building are cast in place concrete and approximately 23 ft. (7 m) tall. The structure has a break room and office space, as well as three bays of garages. The east gate is a steel structure with metal stud exterior walls clad with brick veneer and architectural pre-cast concrete. The grand gate is 30 ft. (9.1 m) tall, and contains the ticket booths for the stadium. There is an 18-in. (45.7 cm) wide masonry arch that spectators will pass under as they enter the stadium from the east side.

A variety of equipment has been on site, including a Link-Belt crane, Cat excavators, skid steer loaders and articulated dump trucks. Some of the main materials being used for the stadium construction include concrete, steel, glass, pipe, brick veneer and insulated metal panels. “The football stadium is being installed mainly in an old parking lot that was demolished to begin construction,” said Broglio. “The miscellaneous scope package was the first construction package that was awarded, which included the demolition of existing structures, as well as new minor structures to replace those being demolished for the stadium and associated new work. “Replacement structures included a new recycling center for the campus, a new chemical storage pod, a new salt storage structure for the campus, and a new aerial challenge course for the Center for Physical Activity. Broglio said weather has been a factor in the construction and completion of the stadium project, but there have not been any significant delays, so far. He also noted there was an early site work package for the construction of the stadium, which consisted of rough grading for the stadium construction to begin and a new box culvert to replace the

existing storm sewer being demolished for the stadium construction. The work also required a new public sanitary sewer line, which had to be relocated in order to begin stadium construction, along with the relocation of a water line to allow for stadium construction and the relocation of the campus fiber optic lines that serviced the west side of campus and the below grade electrical lines that service the stadium and buildings. An estimated 150,000 cu. yds. (114,683 cu m) of dirt will be moved during construction. The football field will be built with approximately 106,000 sq. ft. (9,847 sq m) of artificial turf infill turf system, which will be installed over an 8-in. (20 cm) dynamic stone base. Founded in 1911 as East Tennessee State Normal School, ETSU is a public university and part of the Tennessee Board of Regents system of colleges and universities. ETSU has off-campus centers in nearby Kingsport and Elizabethton. It is home to the “Bucs”, and participates in as many as 17 sports. School athletes compete in the Southern Conference, NCAA Division I. As part of its re-established program, ETSU has been playing football at Kermit Tipton Stadium in Johnson City. Understandably, team mem-

bers are looking forward to suiting up in their own locker room this season. “As good as the stadium looks from the road or from the practice field, once you get inside the construction site, you really appreciate and respect it a lot more,” ETSU head football coach Carl Torbush remarked to reporters. “It’s an exciting feeling for our players to know that’s where they will be playing their football games next season. That first game will be another historical event. Just like playing at Bristol Motor Speedway or our first SoCon game in 13 years, it will be an exciting day for our program, university and community.” While the Blue and Gold won’t take to the gridiron for many months, the administration is already counting the days until kickoff. For Rasnick, the highly anticipated showdown can’t come a moment too soon. “The completion of the new stadium and the first game will be a significant accomplishment for the campus, athletes, alums and community, as all have played a role in bringing football back to ETSU,” Torbush said.

Attendees and exhibitors partnered to raise over $100,000 to help military veterans find quality through multiple charitable events throughout the week. The proceeds, which benefit the show’s official charitable partner, the Call of Duty Endowment, were raised through online, silent and live auctions, as well as an after-hours concert on Wednesday by the multi-platinum rock band Foreigner. The non-profit organization, founded by Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, helps military veterans secure high-quality jobs and raises awareness of the value vets bring to the workplace. “These new benefit events offered the opportunity for ConExpoCon/AGG participants to not only network and have fun but also rally together as a construction industry community to raise funds to support military veterans,” said Sara Truesdale Mooney, show director and AEM vice president exhibitions and business development. Comprehensive education programs at ConExpo-Con/AGG and IFPE 2017 helped attendees sharpen their professional skills and improve their businesses’ efficiency and productivity. The show offered a record 143 education sessions, grouped into 10 tracks, including a new Technology track. IFPE 2017 hosted the industrywide Energy Efficient Hydraulics and Pneumatics Conference in addition to hands-on “college courses” on effective use of hydraulics in mobile equipment. On the show floor, IFPE 2017 featured the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) exhibit pavilion, and ConExpoCon/AGG 2017 included the Demolition & Recycling exhibit pavilion from the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) and the Lift Safety Zone from the National Commission for Certification of Crane Operators and International Powered Access Federation. Eight country-specific international exhibit pavilions reinforced the global scope of the shows and expanded the business contacts between attendees and exhibitors: IFPE with China, Italy, Korea and Taiwan, ConExpo-Con/AGG with China, Germany, Korea, and United Kingdom.

Rowe Teams With This Old House for Work Ethic ROWE from page 1

Guide (CEG) where he discussed the need to fill the skills gap, as well as the work his foundation and others are doing to help. According to Rowe, several “myths” about the construction industry have contributed to the skills shortage that exists today, including the perception that children should not be encouraged to pick up skilled trades. “If being a stockbroker is better than being a welder, then how do you explain all of the miserable stock brokers?” he said. “How do you explain all of the happy welders? It’s a fundamental disconnect. I know lots of people that are unhappy in careers that have been deemed aspirational, and I know lots of people that are happy in jobs that have been deemed secondary.” When it comes to raising children and talking about meaningful work, he said parents and educators want to have a plan or a playbook, however, there isn’t one, so they push children toward careers that have been deemed more appealing. Meanwhile, thousands of high-paying jobs are being left on the table because parents are worried their children won’t be happy. So, what can be done to change this perception? Javier Rodriguez (L), supervisor/construction, Southwest Gas, enjoys meeting Mike Rowe. Rowe said it starts by “making work fun again.” It’s personal, he said.

Bills Pass Unseen in Latest Road-Money Drama Twist By Jeff Amy ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) It’s one of the eternal truths of the Mississippi Legislature: Most lawmakers vote on bills they haven’t read. That may not square with the idealized, Schoolhouse Rock-vision of the legislative process that’s taught in civics, but there are just too many bills. And unlike in Congress, Mississippi lawmakers don’t each have paid staff members to examine bills for them. Typically, lawmakers are handed stacks of bills as committee meetings begin, and can at least try to plow through the legalese while a bill is being discussed. But even then, sometimes they vote on language they haven’t seen, such as an amendment that’s proposed only verbally. In large part, this process is based on trust. Committee leaders aren’t supposed to lie about what a bill does, although all too frequently, they may gloss over some features to which some members might object. But a new wrinkle in legislationby-ignorance unfolded, when Chairman Jeff Smith asked members of the House Ways and Means Committee to vote on bills that, for all intents and purposes, had no public existence. The text of House Bills 1731, 1732 and 1733 wasn’t even available in the Legislature’s computer system, meaning there was no way to know everything that was in each. Smith, a Columbus Republican, told committee members that House Speaker Philip Gunn had just assigned the bills to the taxwriting committee and asked Smith to move them along. Of those, House Bill 1733 would have allowed lawmakers to raise fuel and cigarette taxes at a later date. The committee passed the bill without discussing possible tax increases. The measure was apparently intended to be a vehicle to raise money for road and bridge improvements, even though Gunn, a Clinton Republican, had earlier ruled out action in remarks to reporters. Smith reversed course and killed the bill the next day without explaining why. That leaves lawmakers with two options to provide money for transportation. House members propose to earmark any proceeds from taxes on goods sold over the internet for roads and bridges, although any such tax is likely to be subject to a legal challenge unless the U.S. Supreme Court overturns

current law. The second option is House Bill 1732, which would borrow $50 million and give it to cities and counties to replace bridges. The House passed the measure 1126, sending it to the Senate. Gunn has settled on the idea of another study aimed at persuading at least some antitax Republicans that Mississippi needs to spend more on roads, the same message that’s been delivered by all the studies done so far. House Transportation Committee Chairman Charles Busby, R-Pascagoula, said he’s crafting a plan to seek a consultant,

“There’s nothing conservative about letting our roads go to pot.’’ Charles Busby Mississippi House of Representatives

and mentioned Texas A&M University’s Transportation Institute as one group he’d like to consider hiring. He said the House Management Committee was likely to make the decision, based on responses to a request for proposals. But Busby acknowledges that the House is split into “factions’’ over road spending, saying that prior studies have been dismissed as biased in favor of more spending by anti-tax Republicans. He said that maybe the most important thing is to get findings that won’t be again discarded. “Before we do a study, I’d like to make sure we select somebody the body agrees is unbiased,’’ Busby said. He also expressed interest in building a case that Mississippians are already paying for bad roads through vehicle damage, detours, and higher auto insurance rates. “There’s nothing conservative about letting our roads go to pot,’’ he said. Of course, it also might not be so smart to vote on unseen bills. But it happens. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Volvo Helps to Transform Winter Slumberland Into Sweden’s coolest holiday venue – the Icehotel – is now open 365 days a year due to a fleet of Volvo wheel loaders working in sub-zero temperatures. Typically, when the mercury drops, holidaymakers often fly to sun-kissed shorelines and sandy beaches, but for those who crave a colder climate, the Icehotel is the ideal destination. Located 124 mi. (200 km) within Sweden’s Arctic Circle, the Icehotel has warmed the hearts of locals and tourists alike — attracting up to 50,000 people every year to watch the Northern Lights. The modern mega igloo is the brainchild of founder Yngve Bergkvist. “When I first moved here, people told me that the winters are dark and cold,” he recalled. “Even the tourist manager was convinced that nobody in their right mind would

come to visit Jukkasjärvi during winter. I wanted to change that image and started to think about how we could use our cold environment in a productive and exciting way.” Since its establishment in 1989, this unique tourist attraction has only been built and in operation for about four months — between midDecember and mid-April — every year. But in December 2016, the same location unveiled the Icehotel 365, the world’s first permanent ice hotel. Now, the most hardcore of cold lovers can enjoy the experience year-round in the 22,600 sq. ft. getaway, featuring 20 rooms, art galleries and of course, a 2,150 sq. ft. ice bar. The groundbreaking

concept also is environmentally sustainable. Breaking the Ice The natural ice is cultivated and harvested from the Torne River, which flows past the hotel complex. Come spring, most of the Icehotel and all the artwork melts, returning to the river. “I have a background in environmental science and have always believed that you should utilize and recycle every part of what you build,” Bergkvist said. Indeed, sustainability is central to all aspects of the hotel. Storm water is used to reduce the mains supply and wastewater from the ice-storage cooling system is reused. All laundry is handled on site, saving on transport, and the facility repurposes the excess steam from washers and dryers. The hotel complex strives to be carbon neutral and uses

Coolest Holiday Vacation Destination — the Icehotel electricity from renewable sources. Solar panels generate more than enough electricity to keep the year-round hotel chilled during the warmer months. Using the near constant daylight of the midnight sun within the Arctic Circle between May and September is a sustainable way of having the hotel open all year round. As a result, the sun will ensure that the guests at the Icehotel get a cold night’s sleep and a warm welcome in the morning. Frozen Assets The unique construction conditions have presented challenges for both man and machine. Alf Kero, site manager, who has been working at the venue for more than 10 years said: “The biggest challenge with planning and constructing the [seasonal] Icehotel is definitely the weather,” which can drop to a bone-chilling minus 40F. “For this purpose, we only use Volvo machines, as they are robust, fuel-efficient and are regarded as the most reliable,” he said. A fleet of Volvo wheel loaders — including the L60E, L35B, L30B and a 1992 vintage L50 — are used to harvest ice, move snow and ice blocks used for building, as well as clear snow. The process of cultivating and harvesting natural ice has been fine-tuned over the Volvo machines have played a major role in transforming the Icehotel into a yearround venue.

years. “Starting in January, we clear snow from the marked areas on the river. We then use the machines when we harvest from the middle of March and put the ice in storage for the next season,” explained Kero. This minimizes wastage and emissions, as the ice does not have to be transported from source to storage and any that is not used is returned to the river.

Made entirely of snow, the playground is fun and environmentally sustainable.

New Ice Age The growing popularity of the hotel has not gone unnoticed by the local community. “They have witnessed people coming from all over the world to experience ‘their’ winter,” Bergkvist said and gives the example of a visit by supermodel Naomi Campbell. “I think all of these things have helped to gradually change the old image of a cold and dark place to something more positive,” added Bergkvist. There is something special for youngsters, too. “We are building a playground made

entirely of ice and snow, complete with slides, labyrinths and all sorts of fun things,” explained project leader Mats Persson, who also works as a machine operator. “It is being created with excess material from the River Torne and the Icehotel construction. It takes great precision to place and fit the pieces together.” The playground is a collaborative project between the Icehotel, Kiruna municipality, local government agency Tekniska Verken and designers at PinPin Studio. Students at the local school Hjalmar Lundbohmsskolan also are an important part of the process. “Three years ago, the students made a very much appreciated ‘miniature version’ of the playground as a school project,” said Petra Wadlund Lindh of the Icehotel. “This project is a continuation of that goal which was to make something that could be appreciated by children as well as adults. We simply want to make something fun and beautiful.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Beyond Buckets — Five Attachments to Improve Versatility By Aaron Kleingartner

• Chisel tool point — provides more breaker control when a breaker is being used for general excavation or cutting concrete for trenching • Blunt tool point — easily breaks and fractures large pieces of concrete or block in heavy construction applications • Pyramidal tool point — used for breaking hard, abrasive material in demolition applications Additionally, some manufacturers provide an automatic lubrication (greasing) system for their hydraulic breakers that delivers a constant flow of grease and eliminates manual greasing intervals. This can save you and your excavator operators labor-intensive time, money down the road and help to avoid over-greasing the attachment. 3. Clamps (excavators) Hydraulic and pro-link wedge lock clamps can expand excavator versatility when paired with multiple bucket widths and lengths. Clamps enable precise movement and positioning, and help secure material for superior loading and material-handling applications. When not in use, the clamps can be retracted, making the attach-

SPECIAL TO CEG

Heavy equipment may be more versatile than you think, especially when paired with the right attachments. If you are just using buckets, you may be losing out on revenue growth opportunities by not considering attachments to increase your equipment’s versatility. Instead of only owning basic attachments, such as buckets for your excavator or wheel loader, you should consider purchasing or renting unique attachments. Moving beyond buckets can help expand your traditional excavating and grading business year-round, such as adding land-clearing projects when you’re unable to dig; replacing less-efficient machines; lowering operating costs and increasing productivity. Power tilting couplers, hydraulic breakers, clamps, snow pushers and multi-purpose buckets are five of the most popular excavator and wheel loader attachments that offer a low initial investment with a high rate of return. These five attachments can provide a more cost-effective alternative than renting or adding other dedicated machines on your jobsites. 1. Power tilting couplers (excavators) Investing in excavator attachments can help you adjust to changing market segments. Power tilting couplers may replace multiple attachments, coupled with manual labor, on a job site. When paired with an excavator, a power tilting coupler can be angled 90 degrees left or right for up to 180 degrees of flexibility. Increased attachment flexibility can help your operators save valuable time because they may not need to reposition the excavator as frequently while working, or stop to change attachments to perform certain tasks. This is especially beneficial when operating a hydraulic breaker to help demolish concrete or when working under or around objects, such as an underground pipe. This attachment can be most useful for those working in general excavation, underground utility, grading and erosion control applications. 2. Hydraulic breakers (excavators)

see ATTACHMENTS page 44

When paired with an excavator, a power tilting coupler can be angled 90 degrees left or right for up to 180 degrees of flexibility.

If you are running a dedicated excavator only for heavy digging applications, you may be missing an opportunity. For instance, demolition and rock-breaking applications require a reliable attachment, such as a hydraulic breaker, to help optimize productivity. The nitrogen-powered breakers are equipped with an upper/lower suspension system that isolates the power unit from the housing, making it an ideal fit for a variety of demanding applications. In addition, many manufacturers offer breakers with two-speed controls that can be manually adjusted between low- and high-frequency settings.

This allows the operator to match the breaker impact rate to the working conditions for better productivity. Hydraulic breakers also offer a variety of tool points, so it is important to match the right tool point to the application for maximum jobsite production. Four common tool points include: • Moil tool point — used for everyday demolition applications

Multi-purpose buckets can load, carry and dump granular materials; grab irregularly shaped objects; and doze, level or spread soil and fill.

Hydraulic Breakers Offer Variety of Tool Points ATTACHMENTS from page 41

ment excellent for demolition, site preparation and land-clearing applications. 4. Snow pushers (wheel loaders) Transform your wheel loaders into all-season machines when paired with a snow pusher attachment. This attachment can be mounted directly to general purpose or light-material wheel loader buckets, depending on the manufacturer, to help easily clear parking lots, driveways and roadways. If your wheel loaders sit idle in winter, consider renting a snow pusher attachment to move large amounts of snow quickly. 5. Multi-purpose buckets (wheel loaders) Multi-purpose buckets can add versatility to wheel loaders, allowing for improved digging and bucket filling. They can load, carry and dump granular materials; grab irregularly shaped objects; and doze, level or spread soil and fill. Many manufacturers offer multi-purpose buckets with reinforced mounting plates for longer service life and reduced maintenance. Attachment connection systems and auxil-

iary hydraulics allow many sizes of crawler or wheel excavators to be effective tool carriers for a wide assortment of attachments. Additionally, wheel loaders offer machinespecific attachments that have turned these heavy-duty machines into all-season assets. So before adding a dedicated piece of heavy equipment to your fleet, look at renting or buying special attachments, such as power tilting couplers, hydraulic breakers and clamps for excavators; or snow pushers and multi-purpose buckets for wheel loaders. These attachments can help you expand your business beyond earthmoving projects and can produce a higher return on investment.

Engcon’s Q-Safe Coupler Increases Productivity

Engcon, a 26-year-old $90 million Swedish firm, offers an excavator coupling system that provides a safe, convenient, time-saving way to connect and disconnect mechanical and hydraulic attachments on an excavator in just 10 seconds while the operator remains in the cab, according to the manufacturer. Q-Safe, Engcon’s hydraulic quick coupler or hitch lock, and EC-Oil, Engcon’s automatic oil coupling system for hydraulic and electrical connection, allow an excavator operator to change hydraulic tools such as hammers or grabbers, or disconnect a tiltrotator, quickly and safely. At one construction site, an operator needed to switch tools six times per hour. In an eight-hour day, the operator transitioned tools 48 times. A manual switch typically took him 90 seconds, which adds up to 4,320 seconds of non-productive tool-switching time. But, using Engon’s device, each tool transition act took 10 seconds — or 480 seconds in a day, saving 3,840 seconds per day. That’s a savings of 64 minutes daily — more than one hour of increased productivity, that, over the course of a job, adds up to real dollars. It’s not only fast, it’s safe. Engcon’s design eliminates the possibility of incorrect excavator tool connection. The risk of incorrect coupling has simply been designed out. About Engcon Engcon manufactures a complete range of tiltrotators, quick couplers, control systems and tools for excavators in the 1.65 to 35.2 ton (1.5 to 32 t) range. Engcon is a privately-owned Group with its parent company, Engcon Holding AB, based in Strömsund, Sweden. In 2016, the Engcon Group achieved $90 million in sales with 200 employees.

Mack Trucks Offers Connectivity for Older Vehicles Mack Trucks is bringing its uptime solutions to customers with Mack legacy vehicles. Working with its partner Geotab, a global provider of end-to-end telematics technology, Mack now offers connectivity for older Mack vehicles that are not equipped with its GuardDog Connect telematics hardware, helping to maximize customer uptime. “The benefits of Mack’s uptime solutions are proven, with significant reductions in diagnostic and repair times,” said David Pardue, Mack Trucks vice president of connected vehicles and uptime services. “We are pleased to partner with Geotab and offer those same benefits to customers who own Mack legacy vehicles.” After installing a small Geotab telematics device, the Mack Uptime Center will be able to monitor the same critical vehicle codes as Mack’s GuardDog Connect hardware. If an issue is detected, Mack OneCall agents will evaluate and provide the customer’s designated contact with decision-critical information through Mack ASIST, an online communications and service management portal. Repair scheduling, as well as parts and service bay availability, also are confirmed, all while the truck is still on the job. Mack’s uptime support is managed through the Mack Uptime Center, which is located near Mack headquarters in

Greensboro, N.C. Personnel from every customer support function are housed in the Uptime Center, enabling crossfunctional teams to quickly and efficiently address customer issues impacting uptime. Geotab is a world leader in telematics technology and builds analytic, telematics and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. Geotab systems are built from the ground up and utilize sophisticated encryption, helping ensure data security. Geotab manages more than 670,000 connected vehicles globally. “As an IoT hub, Geotab’s telematics device gathers accurate diagnostic intelligence that is trusted by many to improve vehicle uptime,” said Neil Cawse, CEO, Geotab. “We’re proud to partner with Mack, creating a powerful solution that will offer new levels of ROI to legacy Mack vehicles.” Mack’s GuardDog Connect service contact for legacy vehicles, which includes the Geotab vehicle tracking device, will be available for order through Mack dealers beginning May 1, 2017, and is compatible with all model year 2011 and newer Mack vehicles equipped with Mack engines. Installation is plug-and-play, followed by a brief activation and onboarding process.

Anticipated Kenworth T880S Features Set-Forward Front Axle

The Kenworth T880S features a set-forward front axle, which makes it the go-to configuration for mixer customers needing to comply with federal bridge formulas.

The Kenworth T880S has been a much-anticipated option for mixer body builders and their customers needing to meet the federal bridge formula. The Kenworth T880S features a set-forward front axle, which makes it the go-to configuration for mixer customers needing to comply with federal bridge formulas. “We’re glad production is rolling, and the response has been great,” said Tom Harris, McNeilus vice president of concrete mixers. “A large percentage of our orders are for the set-forward configuration.” We’re recommending the T880S be spec’d with the PACCAR MX-11 engine, which saves our customers significant weight [400 pounds over a 13liter engine] while supplying enough power to get the job done.” Harris said Kenworth is a preferred supplier to McNeilus and the company has always done a great job of building its trucks with the mixer market in mind. “Our customers appreciate the little things that Kenworth does to make a great mixer truck,” he

said. “The cowl-mounted mirrors are an example. A driver will typically have the door open when at a job site, but they’ll also use the mirrors and that can only be done if it’s cowl-mounted.” A big fan of the T880, Harris said the bigger windshield and lines of sight are a welcome addition, “along with the ergonomics and the quietness of the cab,” he added. “The T880 is just a great truck for our market.” The T880S is available with a set-forward front axle ranging from 14,600 to 22,800 lbs. (6,622 to 10,342 kg) and is available with a 114-in. (289 cm) BBC and 28-in. (71 cm) bumper setting as well as 29.5 and 31.5-in. (75 and 80 cm) bumper settings as options for dump truck, crane, or other construction applications. The bumper setting is especially important in complying with federal bridge formula where the chassis is required to stay under 40 ft. (12 m) in length. For more information, visit www.kenworth.com.

Robert Feldman (L) of Mid-Atlantic Truck Centre and Bill Kozek, president, trucks and parts, Navistar, celebrate Feldman being named grand champion of the 2017 HX Series Walk-Around Competition.

International Truck announced Robert Feldman of MidAtlantic Truck Centre from the Northeast region, as the grand champion of the 2017 HX Series Walk-Around Competition. He was one of six regional winners selected to get an all-expense paid trip to attend ConExpo-Con/AGG 2017, where they were required to demonstrate their walkaround skills in front of a live panel of experts. “The competition was designed to give every dealer sales professional the opportunity to demonstrate their technical and creative presentation ability with regard to the HX Series product,” said Jeff Sass, senior vice president, sales and marketing. “The walk-around process is an essential selling skill and when executed at a high level, allows you to truly differentiate yourself and the International product.” To participate in the competition, each sales professional had to submit a personal video conducting a 10-minute walkaround of the HX Series, focusing on the truck’s main product features, benefits and advantages, as well as value added service their dealerships provide. While only one grand champion was crowned, International Truck would like to congratulate all the regional winners and their respective dealerships: • Travis Meiklejohn — Diamond International (Canada) • Andrew Hirsch — Rush Truck Center, Charlotte (Central) • Robert Feldman — Mid-Atlantic Truck Centre (Northeast) • Mallory Coulombe — Maudlin International (Southeast) • Jeff Gulledge — Pliler International (Southwest) • Humberto Rosas — Peterson Trucks (West) For more information, visit www.internationaltrucks.com/conexpoconagg2017.

Freightliner Trucks Honors Offering More Value... Des Moines at Truck Show Felling Makes Enhancements to Its Pan Series Trailers

Freightliner Trucks announced that Des Moines is the 10th city to be honored by Freightliner Trucks Hardest Working Cities at The Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. The program, which launched in 2015, recognizes cities in North America that are fueling economic growth. The Freightliner Trucks Hardest Working Cities winners are determined by a review of approximately 400 metropolitan census areas and 11 different data categories, including unemployment rate, infrastructure investment and contribution to total GDP. Des Moines is among: • The top 10 percent of cities in North America for employed people per household • The top 15 percent of cities in North America for heavy and tractor trailer truck drivers and light truck and delivery • The top 20 percent of cities in North America for average hours worked, construction employment, growth in total employment rate, and contribution to GDP The data review shows a strong correlation between work truck sales and thriving local economies, so as part of this program, Freightliner will visit work sites around Des Moines with pop-up food and gift tents to

thank workers for their contributions. To date, Freightliner has visited more than 20 job sites and thanked more than 1,000 workers, from contractors shaping their local landscapes to concrete professionals repairing roadways. “The job site visits are the heart of the Hardest Working Cities program,” said Allan Haggai, marketing communications manager, Freightliner Vocational Trucks. “Thriving cities rely on these hard-working men and women, but often don’t get the opportunity to thank them. We’re happy to get down in the trenches and meet the people who use our work trucks to improve their cities.” Since its inception, Freightliner Trucks Hardest Working Cities has recognized nine cities across North America: Dallas, Edmonton, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York City, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Toronto.

Jacksonville. SDLG’s value proposition — in which the brand offers basic, reliable technology that is field proven and backed by a substantial warranty — won Lindros over. Ace Pick-A-Part chose two LG959s for their size and lifting capacity. Since taking delivery of the machines in June of 2016, the company has been running the two SDLG loaders six days a week, all day long. Operators took to the wheel loaders quickly, Lindros said, as operation is “easy and pretty standard for the industry.” The LG959s are mainly used to lift cars from flatbeds to stands on the company’s lot. Once the cars have been picked for parts, they’re taken to a crusher where up to four vehicles are compressed together. The loaders then lift the stacks of cars that weigh up to 2 tons (1.8 t) and place them on flatbeds to be taken for steel recycling. The company also swaps out the fork attachment occasionally for a 4 cu. yd. (3 cu m) bucket to perform groundwork repairs at its facility and various other tasks. “One advantage of the SDLGs is the easy maintenance,” Lindros said. “We like to handle our own maintenance and the side panels make the engine very accessible. With other loaders we’ve owned in the past, you sometimes had to pull the whole engine cover off for a routine task.

Sennebogens Team Up to Support Russia’s Wood Industry Once a waste product of the plywood industry, oriented strand boards have become a successful business for a Russian company using Sennebogen material handlers in both its log yard and inside its production facility. The company, Modern Lumber Technologies (MLT) LLC, recently launched one of the largest oriented strand board plants in not only Russia, but the world, designed for about 784,770 cu. yds. (600,000 cu m) of annual output. Created by pressing strands arranged lengthwise and crosswise into boards under high pressure and temperature, oriented strand boards are used for structural paneling, interior wall and ceiling paneling, and sill plating. Pick & Carry in the Log Yard The lumber, which is delivered by truck from the heavilywooded area around Torzhok, is unloaded and sorted in the Taleon Terra log yard by three Sennebogen 735 material handlers. Equipped with 4.2 cu. yd. log grapples, the mobile machines then place logs on the feed table for the production facility. For those in charge at MLT, the 735 material handlers are perfectly suited for this role. “The positive experience with our current Sennebogen machines, high component quality and, not least, the reliability of the material handlers by Sennebogen are what convinced us,” said Vladimir Tsveltkov, MLT technical director. The 735’s pick and carry concept gives the machine flexibility in the yard. It can unload an entire semi-trailer in just four loads. The 360-degree slewing uppercarriage, with a range of 36 ft. (11 m), can load the double-chain debarking line on the feed table from the side or from the end. One of three such units working in the Russian log yard, this Sennebogen 735 material handler unloads a truck at the Modern Lumber Technologies plant.

Electric Machine Feeds Chipper Line The actual production process starts inside the facility. The complete system with a stationary Sennebogen 835 electric material handler feeds the chipper to produce the strands. The material handler is driven by a 215 hp (160 kW) electric motor and operates in shifts around the clock. The machine itself is positioned in an isolated cage above the chipper. From the elevated, spacious Mastercab cab, the material handler’s operator controls the system with an ideal view of the stalls below. During the tough Russian winter, the debarked trunks are first thawed by two conditioning channels to chip the frozen wood with the best results. After this conditioning, the Sennebogen units place the trunks into the hoppers of the chipper. The chipper itself turns the logs into strands approximately 0.02 in. (0.6 mm) thick, which are then sifted, dried and glued into boards up to 1.5 in. (4 cm) thick and 9.2 ft. (2.8 m) wide. For more information, visit www.sennebogen-na.com. Inside the Modern Lumber Technologies Oriented Strand Board (OSB) facility, HOLTEC constructed a conditioning and chipping system fed by an electric Sennebogen 835 material handler.

Vermeer HG6800TX Features Infeed Design for Large Debris Vermeer’s HG6800TX horizontal grinder Features 950 hp (708 kW) in a 92,000 lb. (41,730.5 kg) class, and an infeed design to aid in feeding larger material such as whole trees. The new grinder is built to power through tough materials with less operator interaction. Precise Design “The HG6800TX is designed for large-scale land-clearing contractors to help maximize productivity and efficiency,” said Jeff Bradley, product manager of recycling and forestry equipment at Vermeer. “The feed roller on this machine can climb up to 50 inches to help tackle the tough material elements that land-clearing contractors often come across.” The new infeed on the HG6800TX was designed with low sidewalls to help the operator more easily load material into the machine. This feature allows larger loads to be dropped on the infeed with less interaction and manipulation of the material, so the operator can drop the load and focus on the next one. Exclusive Technology Equipped with the latest technology from Vermeer, the HG6800TX features the Series III duplex hard-faced drum. In addition to providing long-lasting durability, maintenance time is decreased with the ability to remove and flip or replace single hammers, as well as being able to externally balance the drum The remote control puts the machine control menu and machine operating information at the user’s fingertips so operators can monitor machine health from the loader cab.

With the optional damage defense system, contractors who deal with contaminated wood can help protect their equipment by reducing the likelihood of major machine damage caused by certain metal contaminants entering the hammermill. The system reacts to the initial contact of metal by reversing the feed system to allow for removal. The HG6800TX also features technologies like SmartFeed and the Thrown Object Deflector (TOD). SmartFeed optimizes machine performance and production electronically and allows the operator to focus on loading raw product and move finished product about the job site.

The function stops and reverses material from feeding into the hammermill when engine rpm’s drop below efficient operating range. The TOD decreases the quantity and distance of thrown objects, allowing the machine to be operated in a smaller “safe” work zone. The feature is hinged and can be raised or lowered depending upon grinding applications, simply with the remote control. For more information, visit www.vermeer.com.

Metso MX Crusher Cuts Operational Costs, Increases Uptime The key benefit of the Metso multi-action technology is the easy under-load setting adjustment and wear compensation without having to stop the process

The Metso MX cone crusher is based on the multi-action crushing technology, which combines the piston and rotating bowl into a single crusher. The new crusher provides a giant leap in profitability by cutting operational costs 10 percent and enabling 10 percent higher uptime compared to traditional cone crushers, according to the manufacturer. “Aggregate producers are facing increasing pressure on efficiency and cost management. In order to meet these demands, we rethought the crushing basics and combined our long experience in different cone crusher technologies with our extensive engineering knowledge. Two individual crushing methods based on the piston and rotating bowl were conjoined, and as a result, we created the MX cone with multi-action technology,” said Jouni Mahonen, VP, global sales & product support at Metso. Designed for the most demanding rock conditions and with a special focus on automated adjustment features, the Metso MX enables cost-effective and safe operations. It also provides a very high reduction ratio with a premium end-product shape and consistency critical in aggregate applications. Its robust design makes the Metso MX suitable for demanding mining applications, according to the manufacturer.

Multi-Action Technology The key benefit of the Metso multi-action technology is the easy under-load setting adjustment and wear compensation without having to stop the process. This can be now combined with extended wear life and better mechanical protection. Optimal cavity design, stroke direction and effectively distributed crushing action lead to the ultimate rock-onrock crushing motion. This combined with the multi-action technology results in extended maintenance intervals and higher production. The Metso MX also provides maximized tramp release distance with high protection against uncrushable objects and overloading. The crusher can utilize up to 70 pecent of the mass of new wear parts. Due to the intelligent design of the crusher, the quality characteristics of all sized end-product fractions stay consistent throughout the lifetime of the wear parts. “After 10,000 hours of rigorous testing, we are proud to say the Metso MX meets our targets for increased profitability by allowing 24/7 crushing with minimum downtime,” Mahonen said.

Bomag’s RS 500 Boosts Safety, Improves Performance The Bomag RS 500 recycler/stabilizer features an exclusive offsetting rotor design to boost operating flexibility and safety. With the capability of being shifted to either side of the machine, the up-cut rotor and housing assembly extend beyond the wheels’ edge. This allows for safe stabilization of soil slopes and asphalt recycling right up to the road’s edges without requiring the wheels to drive in marginal ground conditions, according to the manufacturer. FLEXMIX technology on the new RS 500 machine gives operators increased control over reclaimed material gradation in road recycling applications. With FLEXMIX, three infinitely variable gradation bars can be adjusted to achieve the target material size setting with uniform results. The rotor hood crusher bar includes cutting teeth positioned in the opposite direction of material flow to improve material sizing and grinding efficiency. Two planetary gears provide maximum torque for the rotor’s powerful and efficient hydraulic-mechanical drive system on the RS 500 recycler/stabilizer. Continuously variable rotor speeds ranging from 100 to 180 rpm provide optimum mixing speed control matched to the application to lower tool and rotor wear, increasing machine uptime. The machine’s heavy-weight rotor delivers maximum flywheel mass to easily recycle and stabilize the most demanding applications at depths reaching up to 19.7 in.

Morbark Unveils Its 3400XT Wood Hog Horizontal Grinder Morbark LLC, a manufacturer of forestry, biomass, tree care, sawmill, and wood recycling equipment, debuted the 3400XT Wood Hog horizontal grinder. “Morbark listened closely to customer feedback while developing the design for the 3400XT,” said Michael Stanton, Morbark director of industrial sales. “The result is that we were able to provide the features our customers want and the versatility they need, while staying true to our proven technology.” One of the most important features of the 3400XT is its standard width of 8 ft. 4 in. (2.53 m), making it within the legal transport width in any country, no matter what engine is used. This model accommodates engines from 540 to 800 hp (402 to 596 kW), so it is ideal for a broad range of applications in a wide variety of markets worldwide. Like all of Morbark Wood Hog models, the 3400XT also is available with electric power. “The size of the 3400XT allows the same model, using a broad range of engines, to be configured for multiple applications and global markets without additional design considerations,” said Stanton. New Operator-Friendly Features Customer feedback also steered Morbark towards creating more operator-friendly features on the Wood Hog. Key among these are the design of the infeed bed and the maintenance platform. The infeed bed is an additional 24 in. (60.96 cm) longer with sloped sides. This configuration improves operator sight lines for more efficient loading of material. Standard on the 3400XT is a removable infeed chain return floor, which allows excess material to fall away to minimize the wear on the floor, bed chain and inserts, particularly useful in landclearing or other applications with dirty material. The variable-speed infeed system consists of one 34-in. (86.36 cm) diameter top compression feed roll; a direct-driven internal planetary drive with no chains and sprockets for

One of the most important features of the 3400XT is its standard width of 8 ft. 4 in. (2.53 m), making it within the legal transport width in any country, no matter what engine is used. This model accommodates engines from 540 to 800 horsepower (402 to 596 kW).

lower maintenance, more torque and better durability; and four strands of WDH-120 chain in a staggered configuration. When maintenance is required, it’ll be quicker and easier to perform on the extended platform. The area between the hood and the engine has been reconfigured to provide an additional 12 in. (30.48 cm) of working space, for better access to components for general maintenance or to change screens. Other Key Features Morbark’s driveline protection system is standard on all Wood Hog models. The externally adjustable, break-away torque limiter helps to protect the driveline and hammermill from catastrophic damage caused by contaminants. The 3400XT is available with either Strickland or Cat undercarriage options. While the first unit built is a tracked unit, this model can be manufactured in a trailer or stationary unit as well (3400X). The remote-mounted radiator and oil cooler have inde-

pendent reversing fans. The 3400XT is equipped with the Morbark integrated control system — or MICS. The ultimate diagnostics tool and control system, this allows the operator to automatically adjust feed rates and monitor pressures and feed wheel position to maximize production and engine efficiency. New smart device apps allow you to connect to your machine using your phone or tablet’s Bluetooth or allow you to connect your machine directly to Morbark, so Morbark personnel will be able to view and edit your machine’s settings and program or send you updated programming. Other standard features include an 11-hp (8.2 kW) air compressor for general maintenance and changing inserts; the self-contained rod puller for changing rods in the hammermill; and a magnetized end pulley with collecting slide tray for removal of ferrous metals.

Used for primary, secondary and tertiary crushing of granite, basalt, limestone and other hard rock, these machines can be combined into modular systems to accommodate customers’ specific applications and operational needs. Undercarriage Systems and Components: Maximizing Earthmoving Machinery Investments, Increasing Work Life Undercarriage systems and components from Berco of America, a thyssenkrupp company, ensure manufacturers and construction equipment operators get the most out of their earthmoving machinery investments. Continuous investments in new product development allows Berco to deliver better performing, longer life solutions for both manufacturing customers and those looking

for a unique aftermarket option. One such investment is the Robustus track system. By utilizing a rotating bushing design to reduce friction and wear, Robustus tracks have an increased working life of 6,000 hours, as compared to most standard track systems, which can only withstand 3,000 hours of duty, according to the manufacturer. The recently upgraded seals for the Berco Pin Retention 2 (BPR2) system maximizes track life and reduces maintenance costs by preventing end-play generation and increasing the sealability of the joint. The BPR2 system is recommended for heavy duty applications such as large construction and demolitions, as well as conditions that generate large loads and impacts. Innovative Service Solutions Couple Advanced Technology With Customers’ Business Needs Building upon its long-standing industry expertise in engineering, procurement and construction, thyssenkrupp offers customers solutions throughout the entire lifecycle of their operations. By utilizing a proactive and holistic approach, thyssenkrupp’s service solutions help increase performance, drive continuous improvement and reduce total cost of ownership. “Individual support for every customer has always been one of our core values,” said Amy Reichert, president, Berco of America. “From maintenance and onsite training to revamps and spare parts supply and management, we collaborate with customers to develop tailored service solutions that meet the individual needs of their industry, operation and application.” The global network of Authorized Berco Dealers ensures customers continue to receive the high-quality undercarriage products they need and the support and training they expect.

Innovative Construction Material Solves Soil Stability Issue

Located just north of Salt Lake City, Utah, the new Brigham City overpass replacement project faced soil settlement issues, which required an alternative embankment fill material to avoid long-term complications.

By Terry Meier SPECIAL TO CEG

The complexities of the built environment are many and ever changing, continually challenging the limits of civil engineering and construction. For even the most experienced professionals involved in designing, building and maintaining roads, bridges and highways there is always something new on the horizon. For Betty Purdie of Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction, it is the combination of facing new challenges and improving public infrastructure that makes the work so fulfilling. “In a 30-plus year career, I’ve seen a lot of dynamic innovations in the way engineering challenges are resolved,” said Purdie, a licensed civil engineer, who worked for the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) for more than 25 years before joining Ralph L. Wadsworth in 2010. Today, as a project manager of one of Utah’s largest builders of heavy highway and mass transit projects, Purdie leads a team effort to tackle challenges by using new materials and methods to solve old problems. This was the case on a recent highway overpass project her team completed on the edge of Brigham City, Utah, about an hour north of Salt Lake City. “The biggest issue on the Brigham City Bridge project was the natural geological conditions surrounding the site,” said Purdie. The scope of work was to widen an existing highway overpass and improve the associated interchanges where I-15 and U.S. 91 intersect to relieve traffic congestion. Offering only a single lane in each direction, traffic was frequently backing up and the interchange was identified as a place where UDOT was not keeping Utah moving. In response, the design team began investigating adding a sister bridge adjacent to the first as a means of increasing the roadway capac-

ity; however, early analysis indicated that might cause more harm than good. “Initially during design the plan was to put two additional lanes on a second structure adjacent to the first,” said Jeff Gilbert, a geotechnical engineer with Terracon, a national consulting firm with more than 130 offices nationwide. “However, calculations on both settlement and global stability indicated that the weight of a traditional embankment built with soil for the second bridge would adversely impact the original bridge and we had to look for other options.” Other options included trying to improve the embankments’ foundation soil slope stability using

driven piles or other intensive methods. Lead engineering firm, Michael Baker International, suggested using EPS geofoam as an embankment fill to reduce load settlement and decrease the driving force in the stability calculations. Lightweight and versatile, Foam-Control geofoam is made from expanded polystyrene, a strong closed-cell material known for incredible compressive strength that is being used on infrastructure projects around the world. “Using the geofoam blocks to support the bridge embankments was certainly a first for me,” said Purdie, despite a very-long tenure of tackling similar situations all over Utah. “When we were awarded the contract, I was

General Contractor, Ralph L. Wadsworth, worked with ACH Foam Technologies and EPS Geofoam engineer, Marvin Cook, to develop a precise configuration plan for the Geofoam blocks, which were installed by hand during construction.

excited to be working with a new material. Discovering geofoam manufactured by ACH Foam Technologies right here in Utah opens up a lot of new possibilities in the future.” Developing the exact configuration of the blocks to maximize strength while minimizing waste on a large, complex project like the Brigham City Bridge, benefits from careful scrutiny. Purdie worked with EPS Geofoam design and testing expert Marvin Cook of Oracle Construction in Utah to review the specification and determine how to configure the blocks to best support the weight of the roadway and live traffic loads while also being mindful of the budget. “With the EPS geofoam, this really became a bit like a design-build project,” said Purdie. ACH Foam did some upfront testing on the material, which Oracle validated while fine-tuning the block placement patterns. Though the cost of an EPS geofoam fill is certainly more than a traditional soil-filled embankment, the biggest savings must be measured in time and convenience. “When using soil as an embankment material primary settlement could take six months or more,” said Gilbert. “Furthermore, calculations showed the possibility of 1 ½ to 2 inches of long-term settlement over a period of 10 years or more, which was deemed excessive.” With the design established and the settlement and stability issues resolved, the geofoam portion of the project moved into construction. Working with a combination of two different grades (EPS 22 and EPS 29) Purdie and the ACH Foam Technologies’ team calculated the precise material requirements and delivery schedule to ensure product was available well-ahead of installation. “ACH Foam was great with the logistics,” see OVERPASS page 88

BPC’s Council on Infrastructure Announces Modernization Coalition The Bipartisan Policy Center’s Executive Council on Infrastructure announced the Coalition to Modernize American Infrastructure, which will set a foundation for the 2017 infrastructure debate. Both political parties understand that smart investments in infrastructure contribute to economic growth, job creation and overall quality of life, but there are differing opinions on a new effort to modernize America’s transportation, water, broadband and energy systems. The infrastructure coalition, includes: • the United States Chamber of Commerce, the world’s largest business organization representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors and regions; • National Association of Manufacturers, the largest manufacturing association in the United States, representing 11,000 small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states; • National Governors Association, the collective voice of the nation’s governors from the 55 states, territories and commonwealths; • North America’s Building Trades Unions, which represents nearly 3 million working families; • Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, which represents the broker-dealers, banks and asset managers whose nearly 1 million employees provide access to the capital markets, raising more than $2.5 trillion for businesses and municipalities in the United States, serving clients with more than $20 trillion in assets and managing more than $67 trillion in assets for individual and institutional clients including mutual funds and retirement plans; • and Business Roundtable, whose CEO members lead companies with more than $6 trillion in annual revenues and nearly 15 million employees. The Coalition to Modernize American Infrastructure is built on the following shared principles: • Infrastructure — including transportation, energy, broadband, water and wastewater — must be a national priority in order to ensure future economic prosperity. Many of our systems for building and maintaining transportation, energy, water and wastewater infrastructure are in crisis and there is a growing desire among the American people for our leaders to move beyond the status quo. While the nation’s broadband infrastructure is world-class, more could be done in rural areas not yet served by high-speed networks. This country needs the new administration and Congress to work together to ensure that our nation’s infrastructure supports the health and safety of Americans and provides our communities a foundation for future economic prosperity. • Robust, reliable, long-term federal funding is essential. Federal infrastructure programs such as the Highway Trust Fund and the revolving loan funds for water are underfunded and unable to meet current demands. Critical needs are going

unaddressed with regard to transportation, energy and water, undermining economic growth and public safety. With $3 trillion needed for this infrastructure over the next decade, states, cities, counties and other public and private providers of these critical services must continue their important role and the federal commitment to infrastructure must be restored. Further, with respect to broadband, federal decision-makers should continue to work in partnership with the private sector and states to foster infrastructure deployment in remaining unserved areas. • The United States should unleash the resources of the private sector as partners in addressing our infrastructure needs. By encouraging public-private partnerships (P3s) and expanding financing programs, the United States can increase efficiency, maximize public value and attract additional capital that can be deployed to meet our urgent transportation, energy and water needs. Removing barriers and providing incentives for P3s will allow public agencies to share the longterm costs and risks of infrastructure projects as well as benefit from private sector expertise and innovation. Regarding financing, the United States has a vibrant tax-exempt debt market that has financed trillions of dollars of infrastructure projects. Complementing this successful model with an expanded set of financing programs — such as private activity and direct payment bonds and tax credits — would ensure that all sources of private capital can be engaged. • The United States should adopt policies to deliver modern infrastructure more quickly and at less cost. By expediting permitting, modernizing procurement practices, promoting innovation and committing to project analysis that focuses on long-term risk management, the federal government can extract greater value out of limited funds and support the delivery of higher quality, longer lasting infrastructure. Government, industry and labor must work together to implement these changes while also promoting employment standards that increase both job quality and access and ensure that we are leveraging infrastructure investments to utilize the safest, most skilled and most productive workforce in the world. As advocates, experts and business leaders, we are a diverse coalition that are united by a shared vision. Together, we can make a transformative impact on our nation’s infrastructure, create millions of jobs, maintain the health, safety and security of our communities and put our nation on track for decades of greater prosperity, the coalition said. For more information, visit InfrastructureCouncil.org/Coalition. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Earthmoving Contractor Expands Fleet to Tackle Bigger Jobs By John Bauer SPECIAL TO CEG

Wilcoxen Construction is an earthmoving and demolition company based in Avon, Ill. The business was founded in 1991, but Richard Wilcoxen has been moving dirt since he was a young man. “When I was a kid I used to run around with the tractor and loader and try and build and fix wash-outs and dry dams,” he explained. “Then I got a bulldozer and just got bigger and bigger. I just like being outside and playing in the dirt.” Wilcoxen owns a fleet of earthmoving equipment including dozers, excavators, CTLs and backhoes, and as an owner-operator he covers a lot of ground. “We do lot of farm work, [earthen] dams and terraces. We’ve built quite a few ponds this year. We’ve done room additions. We’ve done large building demolition. We do septic tanks. We pour some concrete — a little bit of everything.” The company recently purchased two new pieces of equipment from Gregg Kromphardt at Birkey’s — a Case CX210D excavator and a Case 1150M crawler dozer. In both cases, each machine represented a step up in size and power from previous machines to allow his company to take on bigger projects. When it comes to purchasing decisions, Wilcoxen said that it comes down to a few simple things. “Reliability, parts available and quick service. If they’re loyal to me, I’m loyal to them.” Increasing Speed, Reducing Fuel With the CX210D Wilcoxen previously owned an older Case 9020 excavator, but he needed something with more power and a manageable footprint that would still work with his existing trucks and trailers. “The CX210D, it was a little bit lighter [than larger models] and it had lots of power. I thought it had plenty of power and our dealer brought it out and we tried it and we really liked it. We looked at a larger excavator but it was a lot heavier and had to have more permits and a larger trailer to move it around.” The CX210D weighs 48,973 lbs. (22,213 kg) and is powered by a 160 hp Tier IV Final engine. The excavator relies on a combination of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) technologies, which helps maximize uptime and performance — all with minimal maintenance. There is no diesel particulate filter (DPF), no DPF regeneration or associated lifetime service costs. These technologies, combined with the Case intelligent hydraulic system, make the CX210D among the most powerful and efficient Case excavators ever

Wilcoxen Construction recently purchased two new pieces of equipment from Gregg Kromphardt at Birkey’s — a Case CX210D excavator and a Case 1150M crawler dozer.

introduced, according to the manufacturer. Wilcoxen is already impressed by the excavator’s fuel efficiency, speed and smooth operation. “This CX210D, it will do twice the work or more and burns half the fuel. The most we’ve ever burned in a 12-hour day was about thirty-six gallons. If you’ve got a machine burning forty gallons a day at $1.80, at $2 a gallon, that’s a savings of $80 a day. If you figure that up over thirty days, that makes a payment.” “It’s quiet and it burns hardly any fuel. It’s got plenty of power and you can set it for how much RPM’s you want and how much your hydraulic pumps pump. If you’re really into something tough, you can turn it up and it’s smooth and fast.” The CX210D features a new electronically controlled pump, a larger control valve and multiple sensors — all which combine with the Case intelligent hydraulic system (CIHS) to make the best use of the machine’s power and momentum to achieve cycle times up to 9 percent faster. “We do a lot of dirt work where we load semi trailers and you don’t want to be paying a semi $100 an hour to sit around waiting on you,” said Wilcoxen. “We tore out a levee and had twenty-two trucks and they never waited — we were waiting on them. About five buckets full and we had a semi loaded. It was fast.” Power and speed are always important, but the ability to operate smoothly also is important to Wilcoxen.

“You don’t want a machine jerking, we put in a lot of pipe and work on some bridges and sometimes we use the excavator to set beams down in there. You want something really smooth — you don’t want it jerking around.” Greater Dozer Power With the 1150M Wilcoxen also upgraded from an older model Case 850L dozer to a new 1150M, which comes standard with many new features like best-in-class draw-bar pull, improved visibility, a quieter cab and adjustable operator controls. “We had an 850 for about a year or so and we got to tearing out trees and we were tearing out trees bigger than the 850 would push, so we wanted to get a bigger one,” Wilcoxen said. “They brought us this 1150 to try and it rode well, it’s quiet. It’s comfortable and you can set the speed forward and back, how fast you want it to go from forward and reverse.” The more robust Tier IV Final 1150M offered Wilcoxen additional advantages. “It’ll push a lot more. It’s a little bit bigger. The 850 was a 4 cylinder, and the 1150M is a 6 cylinder. It’s got more torque in it. It rides a lot better. It’s just heavier. I think it’s more comfortable than the other one. They’ve changed the seat in them. Air ride seat, and the controls are a little bit smoother to run. The machine has a lot of improvements on it.” The 1150M dozer features customizable steering, shuttle and blade settings that allow the operator to fine-tune the machine to the

task at hand. “If you got finish work like grading a parking lot, you can slow everything down and do a lot better job than if you get out where you’re wanting to really move some dirt, you can speed everything up. It’s nice that way.” Planned Maintenance and the Right Dealer Partner Both new machines come standard with Case ProCare, which includes a three-year, 3,000-hour full-machine factory warranty; three-year, 3,000-hour planned maintenance contract; and a three-year Advanced CASE SiteWatch telematics subscription. Wilcoxen and his team will often handle basic maintenance items, but Birkey’s handles all of their planned maintenance that is covered through Case ProCare. “They come out and they change the oil and everything in them for us. They come right out to where we’re working and do it. They’re real good about that.” Wilcoxen Construction will continue to grow, and as the jobs get bigger, Wilcoxen has been considering even larger machines. “We’ve got some terrace jobs to do. We’ve got one big levee job to do and a terrace job, and if we get a couple more of them, we’re talking about getting a 1650M.” John Bauer, is brand marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment.

More Than $175,000…

Case Donates Materials From ConExpo to Habitat for Humanity Case Construction Equipment will donate more than $175,000 in materials to Habitat for Humanity from its exhibit at ConExpoCon/AGG 2017. This includes 40,000 sq. ft. of carpeting and padding and 5,634 sq. ft. of finished plywood paneling. Habitat for Humanity, a leading global nonprofit that works in more than 1,400 communities throughout the United States and 70 countries worldwide, will put the materials to use on home building projects throughout the United States. Case has partnered with exhibit provider Steelhead Productions to deploy a booth structure that will be re-used by other vendors for future events — and all marketing materials, signage and branding from the booth will be repurposed at Case facilities and dealerships throughout North America. The goal: leave almost zero impact on landfills and waste services from the company’s exhibit at one of the world’s largest trade

shows. “Sustainability is a top priority for our company, and trade shows place a heavy burden on landfill space,” said Athena Campos, senior director of marketing, Case Construction Equipment. “Giving back to the community is also core to our brand and our people. This initiative combines both efforts where we can reduce our wasteful footprint and simultaneously supply Habitat for Humanity with much-needed supplies for building new homes.” “We are more than excited for this donation,” said Veronica Martinez, director of ReStore Donor Relations, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas. “Partnerships such as this help us continue our mission in bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

said Purdie, who recommends that others using large volumes of geofoam for civil infrastructure consider both production time and travel time to the site for material ordering. The Foam-Control geofoam blocks used on infrastructure projects can be quite large and there was limited storage space along I15. Purdie also noted that despite their size, the blocks are very lightweight and have the potential to be blown by strong winds, which is not a safe condition next to a highway. ACH Foam Technologies organized a justin-time delivery, supplying several truckloads of geofoam a day to get the required material to the site as it was needed without excess. As the geofoam arrived, Purdie’s team built the embankments using manual labor and no specialized or heavy equipment over a period of just a few weeks. Though ACH Foam Technologies pre-cut most of the blocks prior to delivery, the complex nature of the diverging diamond interchange on the west end of the project required some block customization, which was done with a hand-

held hot wire cutter. Once the embankments were built, they were covered with a reinforced concrete slab and finally the roadway above. “Working with ACH Foam’s geofoam we were able to complete two phases of bridge construction over I-15 without ever having to shut the Interstate down,” Purdie said. Though traffic did have to be diverted around the construction site, the project kept people moving, which was a primary goal. “The most rewarding part of any project is when the work is done. Our superintendent was standing along the bridge during the final stages of construction and a lady pulled up to thank him for the great new overpass and cool diverging diamond interchange. She said it was so much easier and faster than before and like most people using that bridge today, I’m sure she had no idea she was driving on geofoam.” (Terry Meier works at ACH Foam Technologies.)

SEAAAdds Full NCCER Endorsements to Training Program The Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA) has completed all requirements for full NCCER endorsement as a provider of rigger, signal person and mobile crane operator certifications and credentials. “These certifications complement SEAA/NCCER Ironworker Craft Training, as many ironworkers must also be qualified to perform rigging, signaling, or crane operation tasks,” said Tim Eldridge, SEAA craft training and assessment coordinator and president of Education Services Unlimited. SEAA partnered with NCCER to develop and initiate the SEAA Ironworker Craft Training Program in March 2014. In just two years the program has grown from concept, to a network of 14 training units and assessment sites in 12 states. “Employers are joining in the effort to create a supply of qualified ironworkers that will meet the demands of a workforce that has been on the decline for many years,” said Josh Cilley, president of SEAA. The SEAA program, in partnership with NCCER, is dedicated to providing an industry recognized curriculum that meets or exceeds national standards. Since September 2016, SEAA is now able to offer rigger, signal person, and mobile crane operator certifications and credentials,

More than 3,000 people attended the sale and thousands more participated online, vying for more than 5,000 lots. The company sold more than $58 million of construction equipment, trucks, agricultural and forestry machines and more. Registered bidders hailed from six continents and 48 states, and online bidding accounted for more than $10 million in sales. “The prices were far better than expected,” said Bryant Wood of JM Wood. “We drew a pretty wide audience from around the world for this 44th Annual spring auction, but the amount of domestic activity was most encouraging. United States contractors were here buying up for work they have and work they anticipate having. Optimism is high” The next Montgomery auction is June 13-15.

JM Wood Celebrates Completion of Newly Renovated Facility

A

fter several months of undergoing a complete renovation and expansion of its headquarters facility in Montgomery, Ala., JM Wood Auction held a grand re-opening event March 13 on equipment preview day, just prior to the beginning of the company’s four-day 44th annual spring sale from March 14 to 17. According to the Wood family, this addition has been in the planning for approximately four years. “This was all mother’s idea [Brenda Wood] and was put on hold when she got sick and passed,” said Russ Wood. “We just finished out her idea. This has been in the works for some time and completion is a dedication back to mother. She saw where we needed more space to accommodate our customers. It used to be kind of tight in this building on auction days and she wanted to provide the best environment possible for our customers.” The 6,000-plus sq.-ft. addition includes: • a more spacious entry area, with increased space for registration and check out; • a Wi-Fi lounge area with phone charging stations, which also serves as a great place to watch the auction action in a quiet environment; and • a new conference room that allows plenty of space for private meetings. Improvements also extend to the exterior where a new machine check in/check out building was built and now includes automated systems and improvements in shipping and receiving systems. The new addition has been completely wired for future technological upgrades, including kiosks and express registration. Proxibid kiosks also are on the drawing board. The general contractor for this project was Central Contracting, based in Wetumpka, Ala., and the architect was Scarab Studios based in Montgomery, Ala. According to Bryant Wood, “the customers were the driving force behind this project because most of the square footage is customer oriented.” More than 400 friends and guests from all over the country attended the grand re-opening event to enjoy the day’s activities, as well as a barbeque lunch with their colleagues. John Flora, an original JM Wood Auction staff member stopped by to celebrate with his former company. Flora was a pioneer in starting the auction results books with the regular printing of “Auction Action” in the mid 1970s, which was eventually combined with “Last Bid.” Flora reflected on his experiences in the auction industry and spoke about how much has changed over the years. “There have been lots of changes, including the amount of equipment you can get in a sale,” he said. “Back in the day, you just had to ‘beat the roads down’ trying to get people to put something in the sale. That’s all changed so much.” The number of competitors in the auction industry has changed, too, he added. “Long ago, when I started out in this business working with Thorpe Auction Company out of Wisconsin, there seemed to be only two leaders in the heavy equipment auction business: Thorpe and Forke Brothers.” JM Wood Auction was founded by J. Malcolm and Brenda Wood in 1973. Flora joined the company soon after

and said that he appreciated family business culture, which extended to its employees. “And it’s always been like that ever since,” he said. Last year (2016) was a record year for JM Wood Auction and the outlook for 2017 is just as bright, according to the Wood family. “The buzz is that everyone has work to do and lenders are busy financing machines. This in itself points toward complete industry optimism and prosperity.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

‘Good Data’ Works Well for IronPlanet’s Latest Ventures in Digital Marketplace Good data is as good as gold for any online business to be successful. Matt Ackley of IronPlanet knows this and has made it his mission to ensure his company and its customers — bidders — know exactly what they’re seeing and bidding on, as well as IronPlanet knowing exactly how equipment is selling. Prior to joining IronPlanet as the company’s chief marketing officer, Ackley owned a similar business and sold it to eBay. Subsequently, he went to work for eBay, and then Google. For the past eight months, he’s brought his Web prowess and considerable marketing talents to IronPlanet. Specifically, Ackley is working hard to apply technology and online digital marketing to drive global buying action by helping to create new cutting-edge buying and selling platforms for IronPlanet. “The fascinating thing in the heavy equipment market is that we are on the precipice of online bidding becoming more and more of a component,” Ackley said. That was evident during the recently-concluded Florida Auctions in Kissimmee where bidders and industry veterans noticed that items selling online (but not on site) experienced no price drop-off — something IronPlanet is able to boast about because it shows the true power of online bidding. Under Ackley’s leadership, IronPlanet has been ratcheting up its “online play,” and in particular, how to get people to the site online. Using Facebook One of biggest surprises has been with Facebook’s ability to draw bidders to sales. “Facebook is a channel in which we can market this type of equipment, and it has actually proven to be an amazing channel for IronPlanet,” Ackley said. “Understanding Facebook’s algorithm and realizing that much of it involves creativity is the key. You need to ask yourself, ‘Are you changing the creative enough and most important, do you have interesting creative?’ We work in an industry with the best creative around, so when you are constantly putting up images of big iron, that is interesting to people and it naturally works well with Facebook — and Facebook loves serving everyone ads. So, it’s cost-effective and less expensive because of the creative aspect that we utilize to drive traffic to our website.” Data Analytics Equals Pageviews and Conversions Data is the lifeblood of business, such as how eBay, Google and Netflix gather data to tailor its services specifically to its customers, and IronPlanet is following suit because it’s going to play a very important role going forward in the construction equipment industry, Ackley said. The main goal is to measure traffic to IronPlanet’s site. Page views and conversions are the gold standard to which all websites are judged “We have ramped up our analytics capabilities,” Ackley said. “We have a recent hire from eBay, who is our vice president of analytics and machine learning, and we’ve just started using this machine learning (and deep learning) [[insert link to definition here]] to learn more about customers’ needs, such as what eBay and Google do with their data.” IronPlanet uses deep learning, also called machine learning, to predict outcomes of auctions and can run simulations that use prediction models, which look at each piece of equipment and its own particular data, along with competitor

data to determine and understand what a fair price for a given piece of equipment should be. “After understanding the pricing, the simulation will then flag each item if the demand is not where it should be,” said Ackley. IronPlanet tracks demand in real time to help predict how bidding for a given item should unfold. If the result does not match the price prediction, IronPlanet then knows that the given machine needs more attention due to its predictive analytics. The company also uses data that’s been collected prior to the sale from advertising efforts to also determine how a given machine will do when at auction.

Tommy Burke (L), superintendent of Central Contracting, the general contractor of the building expansion from Wetumpka, Ala., joins JM Wood’s Russ Wood for the grand re-opening event.

IronPlanet Unveils New Platform IronPlanet recently debuted its new Marketplace Direct platform that offers advanced, self-listing functionality for larger-scale equipment sellers. Unique to the industry, Marketplace Direct provides an innovative listing and reporting solution that enables sellers to better manage their assets and directly control their listing management process. With Marketplace Direct, sellers have an enhanced cloudbased platform to increase sell-thru of inventory, improve price performance and reach the most buyers through the HEADQUARTERS from page 98 channels of their choice. “On the heels of relaunching allEquip with Buy Now and Make Offer functionality, and the launch of Truck Locator, which meets the needs of multi-unit and fleet truck buyers, IronPlanet is proud to announce another industry innovation that provides customers with unique, value-added services and a cutting-edge, technology-driven platform designed to improve return on investment,” said Ackley. “Marketplace Direct enables sellers to market equipment to their current client base in a private setting or publicly to IronPlanet’s 1.7 million registered users worldwide. Through the process, we provide sellers with more control and choice over timing, price, and formats than they would receive in a typical live auctions-only setting.” To learn more about this new platform, visit http://www.constructionequipmentguide.com/ironplanet- JM Wood’s Bryant Wood (L) and John Flora talk about unveils-marketplace-direct/32850 the old days of JM Wood Auction.

Improving the Auction Experience Through Data Yet another example is IronPlanet’s use of QR codes, which the company includes in its auction catalogues, to assist bidders with finding virtually all there is to know about a given equipment item, including ownership history, work performed on the machine, preventive maintenance history and more.

company when it was started in the early 1970s and for decades afterwards.

The Sky (or the Cloud) Is the Limit IronPlanet’s intense focus on data-driven business solutions and using this invaluable information to improve the customer experience for both buyers and sellers should prove fruitful for the predominantly online marketplace. And quite literally, under Matt Ackley’s leadership, as well as the efforts of the entire IronPlanet team, the company appears poised to lead the technological charge in the heavy equipment industry.
