AUSA Launches New 9-Tonne Reversible Dumper

AUSA launches the new DR902AHG, a 9-tonne reversible dumper enhanced with AI technology.

AUSA, a leading manufacturer of compact all-terrain industrial vehicles, has unveiled its new 9-tonne reversible dumper, the DR902AHG, a machine designed to deliver high productivity for largescale earthmoving projects while introducing a new standard in dumper safety through the debut of the AUSA AI Vision, an AI-assisted intelligent visibility and person-detection technology.

The DR902AHG is an allnew reversible dumper that offers the latest in safety innovation, combining a 9-tonne payload capacity with a suite of advanced technologies designed to address one of the most persistent challenges on construction sites: Limited visibility around dumpers, which increases the risk of accidents involving nearby workers.

“Dumpers are among the most widely used machines on construction sites; historically, though, the visibility limitations around the ma-

chine have created challenges for equipment operators and crews,” said Albert Hidalgo, AUSA R&D Director.

“With the launch of our new DR902AHG and the introduction of the AUSA AI Vision safety system, we are taking a significant step forward in helping operators identify hazards, protect workers on the ground and create safer job sites. This technology reflects AUSA’s commitment to leading the industry through innovation.”

Built for Demanding Applications

Designed for rental companies and medium-to-large contractors, the DR902AHG is engineered for demanding infrastructure and construction projects where high productivity and safety are critical.

It is purpose-built for a variety of applications, including road construction, industrial developments, infrastructure projects and

tors the area around the machine and supports operators in making more informed decisions while maneuvering and transporting materials.

large-scale construction sites outside urban environments.

The machine serves customers who require greater payload capacity and productivity than traditional mid-size dumpers while maintaining excellent maneuverability and operator comfort.

Four cameras positioned around the skip area incorporate person-detection technology to identify nearby workers and determine their distance from the machine in real time. The four cameras work together to generate a real-time bird’s-eye view displayed on the in-cab monitor, providing complete visibility around the skip. The system highlights nearby people using color-coded visual indicators based on proximity:

• Red zone: Person detected within 0-3 m of the machine

• Yellow zone: Person detected within 3-5 m of the machine

A fifth camera mounted above the cab provides the operator with additional visibility.

Key features of the DR902AHG dumper include:

• 9-tonne payload capacity

• Reversible driving position

• Swivel-skip configuration

• 55.4-kW Deutz engine

• 2.99-m overall height

• Easy-access maintenance design

The new model builds on AUSA’s proven dumper platform while introducing advanced safety technology to help customers improve operational efficiency and reduce job site risk.

A New Generation of Dumper Safety

At the core of the DR902AHG launch is the innovative AUSA AI Vision, a patent-pending technology that provides operators with unprecedented awareness of their surroundings.

AUSA AI Vision combines five strategically positioned cameras, artificial intelligence and radar technology to help eliminate blind spots, identify nearby workers and provide real-time visual and audible alerts. Designed specifically for dumper applications, the system continuously moni-

Acoustic alerts inside the cab increase in intensity as people move closer to the machine, while external audible warnings notify nearby workers whenever the dumper approaches an occupied detection zone.

To further enhance situational awareness, a radar unit installed on the skip side complements the camera system. While AI Vision focuses on detecting people, the radar identifies objects and obstacles around the machine. The radar extends the detection range beyond the camera system’s 5-m coverage, dynamically adjusting warning distances based on machine speed to provide operators with additional reaction time.

The introduction of AUSA AI Vision represents an important milestone in the company’s technology strategy, reinforcing AUSA’s position as an innovator in compact off-road equipment. By bringing advanced visibility, detection and warning capabilities to the dumper market, AUSA continues to invest in solutions that support operator awareness and efficient earthmoving. SP

Stopping Fatbergs: What Municipalities Should Consider

Few sewer system challenges are as preventable — or as costly — as fatbergs.

Formed from fats, oils and grease (FOG) that combine with wipes, hygiene products and other nonflushable materials, fatbergs can grow into massive obstructions that restrict flow, damage infrastructure and increase the risk of sanitary sewer overflows. Once established, they are notoriously difficult and expensive to remove.

While the most extreme fatberg stories often make headlines, public works professionals know the issue is far from isolated. Communities of all sizes face the challenge of keeping sewer systems free of blockages caused by improper disposal practices and aging infrastructure.

The good news? Municipalities can significantly reduce fatberg formation through a proactive, multilayered approach. Here are several key considerations from the Vactor team.

Prioritize Prevention Over Emergency Response

Many utilities still encounter fatbergs only after flow restrictions, backups or customer complaints occur. By then, removal is often more complicated, disruptive and costly.

A more effective strategy is to identify high-risk areas before problems develop. Sewer segments near restaurant districts, food processing facilities, multifamily housing developments and older collection systems often experience elevated FOG accumulation and deserve additional attention.

Preventative maintenance programs may not generate the same urgency as emergency response, but they are almost always more cost-effective in the long run.

Know Your System’s Hot Spots

Not every sewer line pres-

ents the same risk.

Municipalities should use historical maintenance records, overflow reports, CCTV inspections and crew observations to identify recurring problem areas. Low-flow sections, flat grades, undersized pipes and locations with known grease issues often become prime environments for fatberg development.

Understanding where blockages are most likely to occur allows utilities to allocate maintenance resources more efficiently and establish cleaning schedules based on actual risk rather than fixed intervals.

Don’t Underestimate the Impact of “Flushable” Products

One of the biggest contributors to modern fatberg formation is the continued use of so-called “flushable” wipes. Unlike toilet paper, many wipes do not readily break

down in wastewater systems. Instead, they remain intact, snag on pipe irregularities and provide a framework for grease and debris accumulation. Over time, these materials can combine into dense, concrete-like masses that severely restrict flow.

Public education efforts that focus specifically on wipes, personal hygiene products and grease disposal can have a measurable impact on reducing sewer blockages.

Strengthen FOG Management Programs

Many municipalities already have grease control ordinances, but enforcement and education are equally important.

Restaurants and commercial food establishments should be encouraged — and when necessary required — to properly maintain grease interceptors and traps. Regular inspections help ensure these devices are functioning as intended and keeping fats, oils and grease out of the collection system.

Municipalities may also benefit from targeted outreach programs that educate businesses on the financial and operational consequences of poor grease management.

Invest in Public Awareness

Infrastructure maintenance alone cannot solve the fatberg problem.

Residents play a critical role in what ultimately enters the sewer system. Successful municipalities often pair maintenance programs with ongoing public awareness campaigns that explain

what should and should not be flushed or poured down drains.

Simple messaging such as “Only the Three Ps — Pee, Poop and Paper” can help reinforce proper disposal habits. The more residents understand the connection between daily actions and sewer system performance, the more effective prevention efforts become.

Maintain the Right Equipment and Cleaning Schedule

Even with strong prevention efforts, some accumulation is inevitable.

Routine sewer cleaning remains one of the most effective tools for preventing fatbergs from reaching problematic sizes. High-pressure water jetting can break apart grease accumulations before they become major obstructions, while vacuum excavation and debris removal help restore full system capacity.

For many public works departments, combination sewer cleaners serve as the backbone of preventative maintenance programs, allowing crews to clean, inspect and maintain critical infrastructure before emergencies occur.

CPKC Receives 170th Tier 4 Locomotive

In late June, the 170th and final Wabtec Evolution Series ET44AC Tier 4 locomotive was delivered to CPKC.

Each of these new locomotives features advanced traction control, efficient cooling systems and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certified Tier 4 diesel engines. These locomotives are ex-

pected to significantly reduce air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to Tier 3 diesel locomotives. They are also expected to enhance fuel economy and reliability while further reducing the emissions impact of CPKC’s operations.

As part of this multi-year capital program, CPKC has invested in locomotives from the world’s two leading manufacturers. With delivery now

The key is consistency. Regular cleaning schedules often prevent conditions that allow fatbergs to establish themselves in the first place.

Looking Ahead

As wastewater systems face increasing demands from population growth, changing consumer habits and aging infrastructure, fatberg prevention will remain an important priority for municipalities.

The most successful programs recognize that there is no single solution. Effective fatberg management requires a combination of public education, FOG control, proactive inspections and regular maintenance.

When municipalities take a comprehensive approach, they not only reduce emergency repairs and sewer overflows, but also extend the life of critical infrastructure and improve service reliability for the communities they serve.

In the fight against fatbergs, prevention remains the most powerful tool of all.

How Hydrodemolition Technology Is Changing The Game

Gain a competitive edge with efficient, state-of-the-art Hydrodemolition technology.

Technology is constantly changing and at an accelerated pace. It no longer takes centuries or decades for new advancements; sometimes, technology is out of date in mere years or even months. Think of buying a new car, for example. Today’s models have a list of new features, such as built-in wireless cellphone networks and automatic lane changing. These features weren’t even thought of by the average consumer a few years ago.

The same holds true for Hydrodemolition equipment. Contractors are no longer going against jackhammers and hand lances, but rather the latest Hydrodemolition advancements. While older models still run and are faster and more effective than handheld tools, new Hydrodemolition technology offers far more functionality. And the benefits are anything but trivial. Recent advancements shave off time and provide better results, which ultimately gives contractors who adopt new technology a strategic opportunity for growth, innovation and improved results.

On the surface, it may not

seem like significant changes have been made to new equipment, but what is the cost of not knowing? By embracing the latest Hydrodemolition technology, contractors

can unlock a new level of productivity, precision and profit. Rather than just keeping up with the competition, they can set the pace of their industry. Modern machines open the door to a superior standard of work, allowing contractors to confidently take on new projects.

Ease of Use

Many contractors worry about making the leap to new technology, but with user-friendly features and an intuitive design, today’s Hydrodemolition robots are easier than ever to operate.

Gray Tools Introduces New Vertical Milling Machine

Gray Tools, the only domestic broad line hand tool manufacturer in Canada, has added a second Takumi VC1200 Vertical Milling Machine with automatic tool changer to its Brampton, Ontario, factory.

This addition virtually doubles Gray’s milling capacity on this platform, helping to reduce its reliance on local outsourced machining, while shortening lead times for customers. It will primarily produce large combination wrenches as well as strike-free and striking face wrenches.

Dedicated support and training are also available to ensure the entire crew feels confident and capable. Older machines, which have fewer automated functions, tend to require more operator experience and intuitive understanding to initially get the settings right. Modern machines’ settings paired with a supportive manufacturer make it far easier for an operator with basic training to confidently run equipment.

With a state-of-the-art operating system, users can set parameters tailored to the specifications in which they need to remove concrete and save those presets for future use. Storing these parameters also provides a good point of reference for reviewing the machine’s production after a job and where potential adjustments could be made. Should the machine’s parameters require any tweaks, it can be as simple as fine-

tuning the settings. With older systems, some changes required an operator with extensive knowledge and years of experience who knows how to make small, nonspecific adjustments.

Some new machines also allow users to say goodbye to manually keeping maintenance logs. Modern machines present clear, easy-to-understand error messages should a problem occur, slashing potential troubleshooting time.

Implementing any change to an equipment fleet will have a learning curve, but thankfully, modern technology is designed to make the transition as seamless as possible. With user-friendly interfaces, preset parameters and easily accessible training

materials, contractors and their teams can quickly adapt, turning the challenge into an opportunity for growth and development.

Lance Movement

For most of the Hydrodemolition industry’s 30-plus years, simply being able to execute Hydrodemolition was enough to qualify as cutting edge. Controlling a water jet through mechanical means was a safer, faster, more sophisticated way to remove concrete compared to a jackhammer or hand lance.

Fairly recently, manufacturers introduced robots with a new lance movement to the market. They harness the benefits of both the oscillating and rotating lance move-

ments. The result is a water jet that moves back to front and right to left. If the lance was holding a pen rather than shooting water, it would create a figure 8, or infinity, pattern.

The infinity pattern creates constant oscillation speed that results in greater production. Furthermore, it creates a rough but even result and virtually eliminates pipe holes, leaving behind the ideal bonding surface. Creating the perfect profile for superior bonding strength results in repairs that can last up to three times longer. This will please project engineers and prevent the job from being held up by subpar results.

machine to fluctuate speeds in different zones of the work area for deeper or more shallow removal where needed. This is another efficiencyenhancing feature, allowing operators to complete the removal in a single pass. For example, if the job requires removal 4 inches deep for the first half of the pass and 2 inches for the other section, the operator can set zones to accomplish this in one go. Operators can also set new machines to cut in a variety of shapes. So, the triangle shape left over from something like a bridge joint no longer needs to be removed manually by jackhammers or hand lances. When an operation implements a machine that

Modern Hydrodemolition machine’s components have more functionality for improved performance. For example, today’s Hydrodemolition robots have a sensor in their hoist system to set the height of the hood, eliminating the need for operators to manually check. While some may think additional elements increase the likelihood of breakdowns, that isn’t the case. Components in new machines are designed to last and require less attention. Rollers, for example, had to be tightened daily on old machines. Today’s rollers use more components, are preset and much more durable, allowing operators to approach

It took time for the sensors equipped on new Hydrodemolition robots to catch on and be more accepted, but they’ve made great strides in terms of reliability. They’re well-sealed mechanisms and handle stress from operation well, meaning far less upkeep. Previously, if a sensor was tied to a cable and the cable needed to be replaced, the sensor did, as well. With optimized sensors, one can simply replace the cable and get back to work. New and improved components in today’s equipment give contractors a competitive advantage by helping minimize downtime and keep projects on track.

Speaking of tracks — those can impact a project’s quality and efficiency. Take a bridge job, for instance. Sometimes, operators will have to drive the machine up to a couplehundred feet to the work area. New track systems allow the Hydrodemolition robot to travel 50 meters per minute opposed to 30 with an older machine. The modern track systems also provide a smoother ride, reducing wear on the machine and increased stability during operation.

Adopting new technology seems like a significant step, but it’s important to consider the long-term benefits of reduced maintenance costs, more reliable equipment, faster project turnaround times and an easier route to profitability.

Modern Machines Produce Optimum Results

Investing in new technology can seem unnecessary if you have equipment that still gets the job done. But Hydrodemolition contractors are no longer competing with jackhammers and hand lances. They are competing with new Hydrodemolition technology that is rapidly building on yesterday’s advancements, allowing those who invest to achieve better results faster and easier. Upgrading to today’s equipment isn’t just about staying with the pack, it’s about paving the way and becoming a leader in the field. Contractors adopting the latest technology invest in their team’s success and company’s future by maximizing their potential. SP

Integrated into the floating LNG production unit for the Cedar LNG project in British Columbia, Canada, the crane ensures dependable functionality in offshore environments and supports efficient operations throughout the FLNG lifecycle. By relying entirely on renewable power, the Cedar LNG is positioned to become one of the world’s FLNG facilities with the lowest carbon footprint.

The RL offshore crane series has long been recognized for its reliability, robust design, and suitability for demanding marine environments. These qualities also characterize the RL 4600 selected by SHI for the Cedar LNG project. “We are proud to provide our RL 4600 for this important FLNG development and to extend our market footprint in Canada,” says Oliver Odebrecht, Sales Manager General Purpose Offshore Cranes at Liebherr in Rostock, Germany. “The RL series has proven its strength

across a wide range of applications, and the RL 4600 continues this legacy with consistent performance and the robust capability required for modern offshore operations.”

Compact design for

demanding offshore operations

Beyond its lifting performance, the RL 4600 also stands out through its compact and installation-friendly design. The crane’s low overall height and minimal tail swing allow shipyards and operators to integrate it efficiently, even where space is restricted. This makes the RL 4600 particularly suitable for floating units, where deck layout and accessibility are decisive factors. Central to the crane’s architecture lies the slewing column, which houses the main drive system, central hydraulics, and the complete control technology. This integrated design reduces the number of external components and contributes to smooth operation, simplified maintenance, and enhanced durability. The development of the RL series is rooted in continuous optimization: feedback from global offshore customers, combined with long-standing

engineering experience, has shaped a crane concept that meets today’s demanding offshore standards. Robust materials, high-quality components, and a layout designed for longevity ensure that the RL 4600 achieves long service life while minimizing downtime and maintenance requirements.

Complementing its mechanical design, the RL 4600 is equipped with the advanced Liebherr control system, Litronic. This modular technology enables smooth, efficient and precise crane movements, even under challenging offshore conditions. All key operating parameters, including load, radius, and system behaviour, are continuously monitored and clearly visualized for the operator. Litronic acts as the direct interface between operator and machine. It automatically adjusts speeds to the load, maintains consistent movement patterns, and reduces the need for manual intervention. Thanks to its modular setup, additional functions can be integrated as needed, ensuring long-term performance and operational efficiency.

Built for harsh marine environments, all components are designed to perform reliably across wide

temperature ranges and resist shock, moisture, and saline air. A durable multi-layer coating further protects the crane from the demanding offshore climate.

Once the RL 4600 enters service in Canadian waters, Liebherr Canada will provide on-site maintenance and technical support. With a focus on short response times, expert assistance, and high spare-parts availability, the local organization ensures that operators benefit from maximum crane uptime throughout the entire lifecycle. This service approach reflects the commitment of Liebherr to support customers with reliable, tailored solutions long after the equipment has left the production facility.

Smooth installation supported by Liebherr Korea

Before the crane reaches its final destination, Liebherr Korea will oversee the installation and commissioning process at SHI. Their close cooperation with the shipyard ensures a seamless integration of the RL 4600 into the floating LNG unit, supporting an efficient project sched-

ule and a smooth transition into operation. “The RL 4600 is an impressive piece of equipment, and we value the close collaboration with SHI on this project,” says Eddie Park, Divisional Manager at Liebherr Korea. “We

are proud to contribute our expertise to such a significant development and look forward to seeing the crane play a key role in Canada’s offshore operations.” SP

New Grant Supports BC Forestry Workers Affected By Tariffs

Forestry workers supported with training, upskilling, wage subsidies, new opportunities, projects.

Forestry workers, employers and communities throughout British Columbia are receiving targeted assistance through a forestry workers support grant, a $20.8-million investment to help employers and communities respond quickly to the needs of the sector, by providing funds for worker retention, wage support and job-creating local projects.

“There are serious global pressures impacting forestry workers in B.C., including unfair and punishing duties and tariffs driven by U.S. President Donald Trump,” said Ravi Parmar, Minister of Forests. “We are not backing down, we’re going to fight like hell to defend our forestry jobs. The new forestry workers support grant is one tool we’re taking action on right now to protect jobs today.”

Investing in workforce stability

Delivered through the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT), the grant helps forestry workers, employers and communities respond to sector disruptions. The grant is anticipated to support 1,400 forestry workers.

“Forestry workers, families and communities in British Columbia are facing real uncertainty because of global tariffs and they deserve support they can count on,” stated Sheila Malcolmson, B.C.’s Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction. “We’re funding the Northern Development Initiative Trust to help people build skills and move into new opportunities quickly. Thank you to our federal partners for working with us to support people and strengthen British Columbian communities.”

The grant will support:

• rapid re-employment and skills training opportunities for forestry workers, to ensure they stay working

• wage subsidies and workforce-stabilization supports to help retain workers, support business adaptation and enable di-

versification into new or expanded areas of work

• community-led projects that generate good-paying jobs and help communities build local resilience

The grant will make land-based or operational contracts available through BC Bid. The grant can be stacked to include funding for worker training, wage or workforce supports alongside contract work, directly supporting the work of loggers and contractors in B.C.

identification, Indigenous ecological knowledge and tools operation, as well as certification in wildfire suppression and safety.

Delivering rapid, on‑the‑ground support for workers

The forestry grant is part of the Government of B.C.’s and Canada’s Workforce Tariff Response initiative, which confirmed $70.4 million over three years in federal funding in March 2026.

Safe Digging Tips for Summer Construction and Utility Work

Summer is a critical time for those in construction and utility work. This busy season depends on crews’ productivity as they work around storms and high temperatures. But the season’s unpredictable weather isn’t the only thing impacting safety and productivity.

The possibility of striking a buried utility means potentially hurting crew members, delaying the project, damaging critical infrastructure and cutting off critical access to that utility as it undergoes repairs.

That’s why the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) identified vacuum excavation as a best practice. Since vacuum excavation is a best practice for safe digging, the TRUVAC team shared a few more

safe digging tips for summer construction and utility work and also included a couple tips from GTI:

Make a plan

To ensure safe digging practices, plan for differing hypothetical situations including water content and debris. Being prepared to adapt to various ground conditions not only keeps utility work and digging safe, but it shortens the amount of time needed to pivot.

Check with local Utilities

In Canada, it’s best to call your local utility company. In British Columbia, you can check with BC 1 Call. There are many companies that offer this service in other areas.

The US offers the 811 service, and by calling 811, you can understand the location of underground utilities, reduce the risk of dangerous situations and prevent costly repairs and fines. Calling the number (or submitting a request online) is completely

free, and utility companies will arrive to mark the site of underground lines.

Follow safety protocols

With there being less need for manual labor, worker safety is promoted. However, making sure operators utilize proper PPE is still necessary regardless of site conditions and temperature. All utility work and digs need to follow proper safety protocols to keep digging safe.

Conduct proper maintenance

Over time and through the seasons, debris accumulates on hydrovac tanks and is hard to remove, with dry, sandy soil creating the most buildup. To prevent extreme buildup in the summer months, store vehicles in dry environments and prioritize routine maintenance of vehicles.

Use the right equipment

DigRight is a patented technology from TRUVAC that increases safety, helps

MATERIAL HANDLING

adhere to industry recognized best practices, and allows crews to focus on the job — all at the push of a button. DigRight technology — coupled with multi-flow water pump features — allows you to select a maximum water pressure limit to prevent the pressure from exceeding site or industry requirements. DigRight is available on the TRUVAC Paradigm, FLXX and HXX models. DigRight helps decrease wear and tear on check, unloader and relief valves by avoiding bypassing water and saves fuel and money by eliminating wasted energy.

Beware of pressure and temperature

GTI noted in the “Vacuum Excavation Best Practice & Guideline” that if heated water is used during excavation, the temperature and pressure of the water shouldn’t exceed 115ºF and 2,500 psi respectively. Additionally, the

Fassi Group Acquires Fascan International

The acquisition of Fascan, one of the leading operators in the value-added distribution of lifting solutions under Fassi and Jekko brands in the United States, will enable the Fassi Group to strengthen its presence in the US market, also thanks to significant investments planned in sales, commercial, and technical-application functions.

Fassi Group, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of lifting solutions with over 60 years of history, has acquired 100% of Fascan International, the long-standing importer and distributor in the United States of products under Fassi and Jekko brands. Jekko is an Italian company in which Fassi Group is an active shareholder and strategic partner.

With a network of 150 service centers and local deal-

ers across the United States and revenue exceeding USD 50 million in 2025, Fascan will enable Fassi Group to strengthen its widespread presence and distribution capabilities for its range of products and solutions, while also investing in assembly services, maintenance, spare parts, and aftermarket.

The Faloney family, a long-time partner of Fassi, will remain involved in the management of the com-

pressurized air or water wands shall never remain motionless during excavation. Aiming directly at the underground facilities shall be avoided at all times.

Keep the right distance

GTI also recommended keeping a distance of at least eight inches between the end of the nozzle and the underground facility or subsoil. The nozzle shouldn’t ever be inserted into the subsoil while excavating within the “tolerance zone.”

As summer digging projects start to increase, calling 811 and prioritizing safe excavation practices helps protect crews and infrastructure. With precision tools like DigRight technology from TRUVAC that help support industry best practices, contractors are able to dig safely and more efficiently.

pany, while the Fassi Group will continue to invest by strengthening Fascan International’s sales and commercial organization.

“The acquisition of Fascan International allows us to consolidate our presence and offer in the American market,” said Victor Gottardi, CEO of Fassi. “Through the investment plan we will further expand Fascan’s network and sales force, and we will enhance our distribution and technical-application capabilities in the United States.”

“I am very excited and proud to be part of the future of Fassi Group in the United States of America,” added Bernie Faloney, President of Fascan International. “I am looking forward to the next phase of growth and the new opportunities that will arise.” SP

Hyster Launches

XN2 Electric Forklift

Hyster announces the E45-70XN2, a 4,500-to-7,000-pound capacity cushion tire, electric lift truck series that builds upon the success of the established XN models to provide high performance, minimal downtime and reduced total cost of operation in tough indoor applications.

The XN2 series provides operations with the flexibility to pick the best electric power source and performance configuration for their requirements, along with ergonomic features and simplified service. The result is a lift truck that delivers the productivity required by manufacturers and distributors to keep paper and packaging, automotive, agriculture and other products moving.

Operations can select their XN2 trucks with the Intelimatch configuration that provides smooth, efficient performance or opt for the Duramatch specification that delivers a boost in energy efficiency of up to 20% and higher performance. Operations can also select from a variety of battery types, including purpose-built Hyster lithiumion batteries engineered specifically for seamless integration and greater ef -

ficiency. To match operational requirements, users can choose from multiple box sizes and other battery chemistries in addition to modular Hyster lithiumion power, including lead acid and thin plate pure lead batteries.

“While no two operations are exactly alike, constant pressure to do more with less is a common theme, from keeping equipment costs in check to squeezing more productivity from a limited pool of experienced lift truck operators,” said Lauren Grady, Global Product Manager, Hyster. “The new XN2 lift truck models set the bar higher, with the ergonomics, visibility and performance demanding applications require, while empowering operations to configure the right solution for their unique requirements.”

The XN2 series features

the largest through-mast window in its class – 34% larger than the previous model – and the Duramatch configuration provides up to 65% faster lift and lower speeds compared to leading competitors. Clear sightlines and a near-zero turn radius help operators to effectively navigate tight spaces as they push to meet high productivity targets. Additionally, suspended and air ride seat options reduce the shock and vibrations transmitted to the operator, enhancing operator comfort, confidence and productivity throughout a shift. Intuitive controls and a flip-up armrest also aid operators in avoiding fatigue.

Fully sealed wet brake axles require 20% less service over the life of the truck when compared to the previous model, helping to reduce total cost of ownership and limit maintenance-related downtime. When service is required, the truck is designed to help technicians quickly access trouble areas and service the truck.

The wireless monitoring tier of the Hyster Tracker telemetry system and the Hyster Dynamic Stability System are standard on the XN2 series, alongside a five-inch touch screen display that provides easy access to critical information such as speed and battery life, and enables users to calibrate performance. Operations looking to further support their safety initiatives can add Hyster Reaction operator assist solutions, which reinforce lift truck operating best practices with active alerts and interventions.

Bomag Launches New BMS 15 EVO Exchange Holders

With the new BMS 15 EVO, BOMAG presents the next stage in the evolution of its exchange holder system for asphalt planers.

Building on the longproven BMS 15 L, which has been successfully used in a wide range of road planers worldwide for many years, the system has been further refined and adapted to meet the growing demands of modern milling technology. Existing milling drums are compatible with the new exchange holder system.

The proven core strengths of the BMS 15 L— including rear tool removal, the low tightening torque of 100 Nm, the robust tapered fit and minimal maintenance requirements—have been retained and specifically enhanced.

With 35% more material, the new BMS 15 EVO delivers up to 50% longer service life. As with the previous model, the BMS 15 EVO can also achieve fuel savings

of up to 20% compared to other systems.

These enhancements improve the performance of BOMAG’s cutting technology in demanding milling applications. Each geometric detail and exchange holder system is precisely designed to convert engine output into mill-

ing energy, increase productivity and reduce operating costs over the long term. The well-thought-out exchange holder system ensures optimal power transmission and a particularly long service life. The revised system also continues to offer significant advantages: thanks to the low tightening torque of just 100 Nm, toolholders can be replaced using a cordless or pneumatic screwdriver—taking around half the time required by conventional systems.

The SUPER 2100-5 X paver equipped with the Edge Detection edge follower, followed behind, parallel to the first paver. The laser sensor was mounted on the left endgate of the AB 600 paving screed and used the joint edge of the first strip as a reference datum for the automatic control of the screed width. In concrete terms, it works like this: the sensor

called Rossburg home since its founding in 1954. With fewer than 200 residents, the village attracts crowds of more than 20,000 spectators on a single weekend during the race season. Known as the “Big E,” the venue has a global draw, with camping areas filled throughout the season. The calendar culminates with the prestigious “World 100,” widely regarded as the premier late model dirt race in the U.S.

Strong support on the ground

The two LGMG SR5390D rough terrain scissor lifts deployed at the track play a key role in supporting broadcast and media operations, helping bring the event to audiences beyond the grandstands. With a maximum platform height of 52 ft 2 in and a 1,500-lb capacity, accommodating up to four people, the units are well-suited for camera crews. Designed for uneven ground conditions, the machines are built for use in dirt track environments.

“The machines are supporting camera, filming and photography crews during race days, and are also being used around the track for a variety of applications. We’re proud to help the crews working behind the scenes and contribute to the overall success of the event,” Durand said. SP

scans the area in front of the endgate within a 70-degree measuring range and detects edges with a rising or falling profile of at least 2 cm. When the screed operator activates the corresponding function, the respective screed extension automatically follows the edge. “This allowed us to lay down the second strip very smoothly, precisely, and quickly,” says paver operator Michael Wenz.

Edge Detection Assists Paver Operators

On several sections of the federal highway, the paving

width varied between 8 m and 11.80 m. With a conventional paving process, the screed operator would therefore have had to manually control the extension or retraction of the screed extensions. However, thanks to Edge Detection, the screed width was automatically adjusted to pave exactly the width defined by the detected edge. This allowed the screed operator to concentrate on other aspects of the job, such as assuring the paving quality. When working on sites alongside moving traffic, automated screed width control also helps prevent safety

risks by keeping operators out of hazardous areas. Another benefit of paving with the Edge Detection sensor: the automated regulation of the screed width meant that exactly the right amount of asphalt mix was used to achieve an ideal joint between the strips laid down by the two pavers. “The reliable edge following by the Edge Detection sensor enables us to avoid paving more than the actual width required. That saves material and cuts our costs,” emphasizes Wenz. SP

Trican And Canfor Teamed In Commercial Thinning Operation

Nowadays, logging operations are expected to meet more stringent environmental standards.

That’s the case at Canadian Forest Product’s Mainland Logging Division near Harrison Mills, about 70 miles east of Vancouver. A commercial thinning operation at low elevations yields between 250 and 400 logs per day. “The idea is to be as environmentally responsible as possible while still meeting our financial objectives,” comments Mike Manson, General Superintendent of Canfor’s Harrison Operations.

To meet these goals Canfor acquired what Manson calls “a total package” of three pieces from Trican Machinery Ltd. of New Westminster:

a Kobelco 220LC Log Loader, Washington 78SL Yarder and Kobelco 400 Roadbuilder.

Trican has been a supplier of heavy logging and construction equipment for the past twenty years, says President Peter Sampson. “Many of our staff have dealt with the Harrison Division since the early 1970s, providing sales and product support.

Standing on the logging road, Manson explains that commercial thinning is taking place on the low side of the logging road, with the logs yarded up the slope, which is the most productive situation. About half the trees–a third of the volume–are removed from the 65-year-old hemlock stand, primarily smaller diameter as well as diseased and damaged ones, according to Canfor’s Area Forester Martin Buchanan. The harvest is moved up the slope through a narrow corridor, using the Washington Yarder equipped with a Maki motorized carriage. The logs are fully suspended, which al-

lows clean yarding through the standing timber. They’re placed on or just below the logging road, where the Kobelco 220 stacks them onto waiting logging trucks.

“Our productivity is much better than expected and the equipment appears to be the right combination,” says Manson. “We’re very pleased with the Kobelco log loader, which is well suited to handle any logs we have to deal with in this operation.”

Trican has adapted the 220 to this work, Manson says. “For example, because we need an exceptional reach below grade, we’ve kept a conventional excavator boom, which has worked out extremely well. It’s got everything in it we wanted

— air conditioning, fire suppression and so on.” The machine is equipped with a163 Hp Cummins engine, so it has plenty of power. The cab has been moved back for better visibility so the operator can see what’s right in front of the tracks from his seated position. With eye level at 14 feet, he can see over the road bank and below grade.

The yarder was brought up from northern California and rebuilt by Trican. Manson salutes the mechanical savvy and forestry experience of Tom Brown, a 73-year-old former logger who works for Trican and arranged a visit to a similar commercial thinning site in Washington. Manson also has a Kobelco 400 Road-

Unirope Adds Python DynamiQ Wire Rope For Demanding Crane Applications

Unirope Limited has expanded its range with the Python DynamiQ, a next-generation, non-rotating wire rope designed for demanding crane applications, such as those found in infrastructure, energy, and heavy construction.

Python DynamiQ was developed to address a clear market gap, particularly for construction cranes operating under extreme loads and lifting heights, where traditional rotation-resistant ropes often fall short. It is designed to be a true all-around hoist rope across crawler cranes, tower cranes, and mobile cranes. The benefit of engineering for extreme conditions is that those same advantages carry over into less demanding applications.

Mississauga-based Unirope is a specialist in the manufacture, distribution, testing, certification, and inspection of high-performance wire rope and rigging products. It has additional facilities in Quebec and Alberta; the three sites combine to deliver a service nationwide and to select customers in the U.S. and Europe. DynamiQ is part of

the company’s Python highperformance wire rope family, manufactured in Germany with over a century of wire rope expertise behind it.

The key distinction is in the construction. DynamiQ uses a familiar 16-strand compacted outer layer combined with a more robust core and delivers superior torque balance and structural stability. This design minimizes internal movement, reduces stress concentrations, and significantly improves performance under load compared to traditional 35x7 constructions. DynamiQ is suitable for both single-fall and multi-fall reeving, performing extremely well in both configurations. In single-fall applications, it works effectively with swivels and resists rotation. In multifall setups, it maintains stability and minimizes issues like block twisting and rope wavi-

Loftness Updates Cool Flow For New Kubota SVL1103 Compact Track Loader

Loftness announces the compatibility of its Cool Flow auxiliary hydraulic cooler with the new Kubota SVL110-3 compact track loader.

Designed to keep hydraulic temperatures under control during demanding applications, the Cool Flow helps operators maximize productivity when running higherflow attachments, especially for long hours and in high ambient temperatures.

“We’re excited to announce the availability of our Cool Flow for the Kubota SVL110-3,” said Shannon McComas, COO of Loftness.

“It fits the power unit well, and our testing has shown excellent results. It’s a great way to protect your compact track

ness.

Higher level of performance

Justin Brown, president at Unirope, said: “DynamiQ allows us to bring a higher level of performance to Canadian crane operators, especially in particularly challenging sectors, where demands continue to increase. It gives our customers access to one of the most advanced non-rotating ropes available globally, backed by local expertise and support. This equates to more uptime, longer service life, and more confidence in critical lifts.

“Just as importantly, it means they’re supported by a Canadian partner who understands their applications and can respond quickly with inventory, technical guidance, and service. We don’t just supply rope; we help customers select the right solution,

loader from costly heat-related damage, especially when running high-performance vegetation management attachments.”

With the Cool Flow operators can add up to 150,000 BTUs per hour of supplemental cooling capacity to their power units. It includes an aluminum brazed core with two 14-inch fans that cycle on and off automatically via an onboard thermostat. Additionally, the Cool Flow has a cold weather bypass feature for easy start-ups, and it allows full hydraulic flow to the attachment from either direction.

For maximum durability, the unit has a heavy-duty steel frame with a low profile to help avoid low-clearance obstacles. The screens are easily accessible for debris cleanout SP

optimize performance, and solve problems in the field. With DynamiQ, we’re pairing a premium product with a service model that’s been trusted across Canada for decades.”

Torque control is another of DynamiQ’s strongest advantages. The rope is engineered to maintain excellent balance under varying load conditions, which reduces rotation, block spin, and line instability, especially critical at high lifting heights or in single-fall applications. It also addresses multi-layer spooling, which introduces crushing, abrasion, and deformation. DynamiQ is designed with high lateral stability and resistance to ovalization and diameter reduction under load. This allows it to maintain its shape and integrity

across multiple layers, significantly improving service life on modern crane drums.

Brown added: “In testing, DynamiQ shows up to a 10% increase in breaking strength and up to a 20% improvement in bending fatigue life. That translates directly into longer rope life, fewer changeouts, and more predictable performance.

“Unirope has been a leader in the Canadian wire rope market since 1956. Over that time, we’ve built our reputation on quality, technical expertise, and understand-

ing real-world applications. DynamiQ continues that approach by bringing the latest global innovation to Canadian customers, backed by local knowledge and service. The message is simple: performance matters. As lifting applications become more demanding, the rope can’t be the weak link. DynamiQ represents a step forward in performance and Unirope’s commitment to bringing that level of innovation to the Canadian market.” SP

Exploring The Last Earthly Frontier

Underwater exploration opens up new sources of mineral wealth.

Komatu’s revolutionary amphibious bulldozer breaks bedrock, excavates and moves the sea floor, opening up a whole new range of possibilities in underwater exploration. No wonder nations are wishing to claim sovereignty to their ever widening sea boundaries!

Simple setup

The bulldozer, a generator unit, control board, cable winch, bulldozer position detector and backup ship make up the system. The generator unit, control board and cable

winch are usually installed on board the backup ship, but they may be installed on a pier or ashore, depending on job site conditions.

Overall durability

The undercarriage construction is identical to that of Komatsu’s super durable D155A bulldozer. A completely sealed, oil-immersed 3-phase induction motor takes the place of the engine and torque converter. The machine is equipped with a parallelogram ripper and a dozer blade with apron to prevent the loss of sand or soil due to the underwater currents. The operational range approximates 100 square meters. Thus, the vehicle is ideal for breaking marine bedrock, underwater excavation and reclamation projects.

Best suited to the job

Two alternatives allow the convenient option to control the vehicle in the way best suited to the job, by wire remote control (using the simulating miniature model on the

backup ship, pier or land) or direct operator control. A host of features ensures firstrate safety either way.

Pinpoint accuracy

The control board is complete with all the necessary instruments, warning lamps, simulator (reproduces every vehicle movement on a scale model), trace recorder, forward topography indicator switches and control levers.

VMAC Supports BC Forest Discovery Centre With G90 Air Compressor

VMAC, the leader in compressed air innovation and mobile power systems, is proud to announce its partnership with the BC Forest Discovery Centre to support critical railway maintenance efforts by providing the use of its new G90 Gas Driven Air Compressor with FlexDrive AirFlow Management System (AMS), helping prepare the site for its annual opening.

This enables the operator to have precise and complete operational data, e.g. vehicle inclination, position and direction, ensuring pinpoint operational accuracy even when doing the job by remote control.

“The downhill curve had been gradually pulled out of alignment over many years, and the ties, some more than 60 years old, were worn out,” said Victor Gerwin, BC Forest Discovery Centre staff member. “We were able to replace a large number of ties and sections of rail where the wear was significant. Without VMAC’s G90 compressor, this would have taken far more time and effort to complete.” Having a single, reliable system that could handle a range of tools allowed the volunteers and staff to focus on the work itself, rather than managing equipment.

Located in Duncan, British Columbia, the BC Forest Discovery Centre is a 100acre open-air museum dedicated to preserving the history of the province’s forestry industry. A key feature of the site is its operational narrowgauge railway, which requires ongoing maintenance to ensure safe and reliable opera-

conjunction with it, a tower equipped with a receiver is erected outside the bulldozer’s area of operation. the combined information gives the exact position of the bulldozer. It is registered on the control board’s trace recorder (X-Y recorder).

Leakproof construction and built-in safety

In preparation for opening, volunteers and staff undertook an extensive railway tie replacement project across the property, a process that requires driving large numbers of railroad spikes. To do this, crews rely on a specially modified pneumatic jackhammer. However, generating enough compressed air on-site quickly became a major bottleneck.

Previously, crews were charging two large receiver tanks using a standard 240V shop compressor, then transporting those tanks to the work area. Each trip only provided enough air to drive two to three spikes before needing to return and recharge, significantly slowing progress across the 2.5 km railway loop.

By introducing the VMAC G90, crews now have continuous, mobile compressed air available directly at the jobsite, eliminating the need to shuttle tanks back and forth

“Projects like this depend on efficiency, reliability, and the ability to adapt to changing jobsite demands,” said Tod Gilbert, President of VMAC. “We’re proud to support the BC Forest Discovery Centre and its volunteers and staff by providing equipment like the G90 that helps them complete critical work safely and on schedule.”

The G90 with FlexDrive AMS automatically adjusts airflow and pressure to match application requirements, and its compact design allows crews to bring air directly to the worksite, removing downtime associated with stationary compressors and limited air supply.

“The difference was immediate,” said Gerwin. “It’s made a significant impact on how quickly we could complete this work ahead of our opening.” SP

Funds Support Smelting Enhancements In Trail

New investments support expanding production capacity for critical minerals smelting and refining in Trail, BC.

The Canada Critical Minerals Accelerator, supported by Teck Resources Limited, Canada Growth Fund Inc., and Natural Resources Canada, has announced that they have signed a Strategic Investment Agreement to expand production capacity for germanium, gallium, and antimony at Teck’s Trail Operations smelting and refining complex in British Columbia.

Trail is one of the world’s largest fully integrated polymetallic smelting and refining complexes. It produces nineteen products and has a long history of critical minerals production.

“Canada has what the world wants, and we are moving decisively to catalyze private investments, secure our supply chains, and get projects built faster so we can provide for ourselves and our global partners,” said the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and

Natural Resources. “Our new Canada Critical Minerals Accelerator is about turning Canadian resource abundance into real projects by giving industry the certainty they need to invest and grow, even in a volatile global market. By working with companies like Teck and partnering with Canada Growth Fund and Export Development Canada, we are using every tool in our toolbox to build Canada Strong.”

The Agreement establishes the commercial framework for an equity-like investment by CGF of up to $400 million directly into the facility, as part of an up to $850 milliondollar potential total investment by Teck to sustain and enhance critical minerals processing capacity at Trail Operations from a portfolio of feed sources. The Agreement also provides for the establishment of an offtake structure with the Government

of Canada, including offtake rights for a portion of future germanium, antimony and gallium produced by Trail, that will build on Canada’s position as a reliable critical minerals supplier to global partners.

“Leveraging its unique expertise and ability to implement bespoke structured financial instruments, CGF’s investment will support the advancement of the expansion of Canada’s only germanium-producing smelter, a critical mineral essential to applications related to national security,” said Yannick Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Canada Growth Fund Investment Management Inc. (“CGFIM”). “CGFIM is pleased to once again put its experience to work in support of the Government of Canada’s establishment of a third offtake agreement that positions Canada as a reliable partner of choice for global partners seeking access to important critical minerals.”

The Agreement reflects the intent of both parties to work towards an investment by CGF to unlock the advancement of Trail’s Strategic Metals Initiative, that

could double Trail’s existing production capacity for germanium and antimony, and potentially add new gallium production capacity. The arrangements between Teck and the Government of Canada would also constitute the inaugural transaction under Canada’s newly launched Canada Critical Minerals Accelerator, which is an initiative of NRCan, managed by Export Development Canada.

“Teck’s Trail Operations is a cornerstone of North America’s critical minerals ecosystem. Collaboration with CGF and the Canada Critical Minerals Accelerator will help advance the opportunity we have to quickly and significantly increase production capacity for key strategic metals and help strengthen secure, responsible supply chains,” said Jonathan Price, President and CEO, Teck.

“By leveraging Trail’s existing infrastructure and expertise, this initiative has the potential to deliver new supply of strategic metals while providing strong returns for Teck shareholders.”

Germanium, antimony, and gallium are essential inputs for a range of advanced technologies and national

security applications. Germanium is widely used in fibre optic systems, infrared optics, and semiconductor technologies; antimony is critical for flame retardants, batteries, and alloys; and gallium is a key material in high-performance semiconductors used in telecommunications, radar systems, and next-generation electronics. Expanding reliable supply of these materials is key to Canada’s economic and national security, as well as clean technology and the energy transition.

The Province of British Columbia has also named the Trail Strategic Metals Initiative as one of eighteen priority resource projects and is working with Teck on opportunities to further support the initiative’s advancement.

Canada is moving quickly to unlock critical minerals that will strengthen our economy and security, enhance global supply chains, and grow Canadian industry. This project will leverage Trail’s long-standing Canadian expertise in strategic metals production; access to long-term, high-quality metals feedstock; and proven ability to adapt quickly to evolving market demands to achieve success. Realization of the commercial arrangements contemplated by the Agreement remains subject to certain conditions, including the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and satisfaction of applicable approvals.

Scalpers and Classifying Screens: Basic Principles and Differences

Mobile screening plants show their particular strengths in both line-coupled and standalone materials-processing scenarios.

For a long time, the focus in mobile processing of quarried stone and recycling materials was firmly set on the use of crushing plants. Although these were able to produce aggregates that could be influenced within certain limits, these were only saleable to a limited extent without classification by downstream screening plants. In contrast, scalpers and classifying screens can separate materials into several final products and produce qualified final products. These plants must not necessarily be used only in combination with crushing plants, but also show their strengths in standalone materials-processing scenarios. A distinction is made between two groups of screening plants: scalpers and classifying screens.

The main task of scalpers, also frequently described as scalping screens or heavy-du-

ty screens, is the sorting of the coarse feed material before it is passed to the first crushing stage. As the name suggests, they are fed with massive pieces of coarse feed material and ‘scalp’ off the oversize content. The material loaded into the feed hopper is passed directly to the upper screen deck. The oversize grains are passed over the screen deck in the material flow direction and onto the main discharge conveyor. This enables the scalper to cope with even the largest chunks of material. The plants are often fed with material either from the side or from the rear with a wheel loader. The optionally available, separately folding hopper filling aids enable the loading of feed material from the rear with wider loader buckets or prevent material spillage over the opposite side of the hopper when loading from the side.

The versatile scalpers can also be used as a classifying screen in a plant train, where they can screen out up to three fractions from the crushed stone. To enable this, the rear hopper wall of the Kleemann scalpers can be folded to at least two different heights, and even three heights in the case of the MOBISCREEN MSS 802 EVO. This enables optimum material transfer, even at the low feed height of an upstream crusher.

Under certain conditions, the factory-fitted belt of the feeding conveyor of Kleemann scalpers can reach its limits. For example, extremely coarse and sharp-edged feed material can cause damage to the conveyor belt. In the case of flaky, clay-bonded rocks, the smooth belt can slip underneath the feed material, particularly when it is extremely moist. To avoid these com-

plications, scalpers can be fitted with a robust apron feeder. In addition, material brakes and/or chain curtains can be installed on the feed and discharge sides of the screen casing. This prevents coarse rock from striking the main discharge conveyor belt which could damage or reduce the service life of the discharge conveyor belt.

Classifying screens are the specialists for the production of high-quality final products or important intermediate products. They are where finer, usually pre-crushed, materials with smaller pieces are processed. Classifying screens are essential components in multi-stage crushing and screening stages, but are used just as often as standalone screening plants.

The MOBISCREEN MSC EVO line of classifying screens from Kleemann feature extremely high-capacity feed hoppers. The feed material is loaded into them by wheel loaders, excavators, or an upstream crusher or screening plant. With its wider opening at the top, the hopper ensures a good material flow. As classifying screens are generally fed with finer material, the plants do not require as much in the way of impact or wear protection as scalpers.

The material flow deter-

mines the throughput and the final result, which must be precisely classified. The demands on the material flow begin as soon as material is fed to the plant. For instance, the speed of the feeding conveyor and other factors directly influence the bed height on the various decks of the screen casing. Should the bed height on one of the screen decks become too high, the quality of the screened material begins to deteriorate immediately. Achieving excellent screening results from a classifying screen is ultimately the result of a complex interplay between the speed settings of the hopper discharge conveyor and the feeding conveyor, the setting of the dosing flap, the position of the feeding conveyor relative to the screen casing, the setting of the impact plate, the angle and amplitude of the screen casing, and the right choice of screen media. There are fewer influencing parameters in the case of a scalper, as the quality requirements for the screened material are generally less critical than for a classifying screen. In the case of these plants, the screening result can be influenced by the speed of the feeding conveyor, the angle of the screen casing and its amplitude, and the choice of the right screen media.

The choice of the right screen media for a screening plant is decisive for achieving the desired screening result. The screen media must be chosen to meet the precise needs of the application. It’s not just the correct choice of the opening cross-section for the desired final grain size that matters. The upper decks of scalpers, for example, are subjected to high loads, because large, sometimes sharp-edged rock fragments frequently strike the screen media. This is where particularly robust and resilient screen media such as finger screens, slotted grates, or punched plates are often used, depending on the application. Depending on the separation cut and screening capacity requirements, dry material up to a grain size of 4 mm can be screened with conventional square or rectangular screen meshes, or piano-wire harp screens. The situation becomes more challenging when even finer screening is required and/or the material to be screened is moist, sticky, or fibrous. This is where we go into more detail: thinner wires reduce the risk of incrustations, increase the open screening surface of the screen casing and, in turn, the output of the screening

plant. At the same time, the thinner the wire, the shorter the service life of the screen media. Here, we have to weigh the advantage of higher performance against the costs for replacement media and the downtime of the plant when replacing worn media. The pattern of the wire mesh can also help to protect a screen against clogging, or, at least, keep it free for a longer period. When using certain harp screen patterns, induced vibration in the meshes shakes them free of adhering material. In such boundary conditions, the material also plays a decisive role. For instance, the tendency for material to adhere to the mesh is lower for stainless steel meshes than for conventional wire meshes. In contrast, rubber screen media remain free for longer periods than wire mesh due to the inherent movement of the material induced by the vibration of the screen casing. Negative aspects of these screen media are the broader ribs required between the openings due to the material

used, which leads to a reduction of the screening capacity, and the generally high cost of the media.

To ensure an ideal separation cut, it is decisive to be able to influence the dwelltime of the material on the screen deck. This is effected primarily by the angle of the screen casing. A steep setting increases the screening capacity, but can, under certain circumstances, lead to poorer final product quality due to the presence of undersize grains in the oversize grains. Although using a shallow angle of the screen casing leads to higher selectivity, it in turn also means a lower screening capacity. What is important here is the determination of the best compromise between high output and the desired final product quality.

In the case of scalpers, the particularly wide setting range lies between 15.4 ° and 20 ° (MSS 502/802 EVO) and 12.5 °–17 °(MSS 1102 PRO).

The lower deck of these plants corresponds to the shape of a so-called banana screen: the feed side has a steeper angle than the discharge side. In

EvoQuip Launches First Cone Crusher With Boa 950

EvoQuip, a manufacturer of compact crushing, screening, shredding and conveying equipment, has expanded its product range with the introduction of the Boa 950, the first cone crusher in the portfolio.

Since its launch, the brand has focused on compact jaw crushers, impact crushers, screens, shredders and conveyors. The addition of a cone crusher strengthens the overall offering, enabling EvoQuip to support complete crushing solutions from primary through to secondary and tertiary applications.

Developed and manufactured at EvoQuip’s facility in Hosur, India, the Boa 950 has been designed to meet the needs of customers in India and neighbouring markets, including Nepal and Bhutan. The machine will also be

this way, a high flow speed and a rapid distribution of the material are initially achieved, after which the material flows more slowly in the direction of the discharge side and remains on the screen deck for a longer period in order to achieve high selectivity. This shape of the screen deck increases the screening efficiency by up to 10%.

Since classifying screens are typically used to screen finer grain sizes in high quality, a wider range of screen angle settings is required. In the case of the MOBISCREEN MSC EVO classifying screens, this ranges from 20–38 °.

At the end of the day, a carefully considered choice of the plant and an ideal configuration for the feed material to be processed enables not only the optimization of the quality of the final product but also the volume discharged. Assuring minimal wear keeps material costs low – which means the production of a high-quality result with low production costs per ton. SP

Tulugak Northern Voice Launches To Development Across The North

Transfert Environnement et Société and Kimberly Fairman are pleased to join forces to announce the launch Tulugak Northern Voice, a joint venture created to support engagement, consultation, and development processes across the North through approaches grounded in trust, meaningful participation, and northern realities.

Nunavut and the broader North are entering a period of significant development and transformation driven by growth in infrastructure, energy, critical minerals, and Arctic sovereignty. With known occurrences of 23 of Canada’s 34 critical minerals, the territory is attracting increasing attention across sectors and jurisdictions worldwide.

In this context, Tulugak Northern Voice was established in response to an urgent need for development approaches that are both technically rigorous and deeply rooted in Inuit priorities, governance, and community well-being.

Successful projects in the North depend on trust, credibility, and a strong understanding of local governance, not solely technical excel-

lence. Projects often face delays, opposition, or regulatory setbacks when stakeholder engagement approaches do not adequately reflect the governance structures and priorities of the communities involved. At the same time, communities and Inuit organizations are frequently brought into processes too late, with limited capacity support, and through formats that do not align with how decisions are actually made locally.

This leads to an erosion of trust, creating uncertainty for proponents, limiting meaningful participation of communities, and adding complexity to regulatory processes.

Tulugak Northern Voice is grounded in a fundamentally different approach to engagement that moves beyond

regulatory compliance toward meaningful partnership. Built from the North, and not adapted to it, the partnership reflects decades of lived experience, professional relationships, and sustained presence across Nunavut, Nunavik, and the wider Arctic.

“As the North and the resources it holds are generating growing interest across sectors worldwide, it is essential that engagement and consultation activities be led by Inuit experts when possible and grounded in trust,” said Kimberly Fairman, Founding Partner, Tulugak Northern Voice. “TULUGAK Northern Voice brings together complementary expertise in Indigenous governance, community development, regulatory processes, and Inuit research, with a shared

commitment to ensuring that development reflects Inuit priorities and supports meaningful participation. This partnership is about strengthening collaboration between communities, organizations, and project proponents in ways that build trust and lead to better outcomes.”

Kimberly Fairman brings more than two decades of experience working at the intersection of Indigenous governance, community development, regulatory systems, and major project planning across the Arctic. Kimberly is Nunavummiut from Taloyoak, a researcher and policy specialist whose work is grounded in circumpolar and Indigenous knowledge systems, Inuitspecific research methodologies, and communityengaged approaches.

“Tulugak came to life through a shared conviction and a willingness to build something that didn’t exist yet,” said Marc-Olivier Fortin, Partnership Development Director. “In early conversations with Kimberly, it became clear that her expertise in Inuit governance, community realities,

and northern decision-making would be foundational to the partnership. From the outset, we wanted to do things differently, starting by listening first. The relationship is grounded in that principle and in a commitment to approaching the work we do in the North differently.”

With over 40 years of experience in social acceptability, public participation, and community relations, Transfert draws on a longstanding track record of supporting clients operating in Nunavut, Nunavik, and the Northwest Territories.

The partnership embodies the organization’s commitment to strengthening and sustaining presence in the North while deepening onthe-ground understanding of northern Canada.

The firm works across governance, regulatory strategy, capacity development, workforce readiness, and benefit design, recognizing that meaningful participation requires both voice and capacity. At its core, Tulugak Northern Voice is guided by Inuit selfdetermination as a design principle, embedding Inuit

governance and community-defined priorities directly into project.

“Project proponents and communities often experience a disconnect between development objectives and meaningful participation, long-term benefits, and respect for local priorities,” commented Alex Craft, Founding Partner. “Tulugak Northern Voice reflects a natural evolution of our work in the North. By combining over 40 years of experience in social acceptability, public participation, and community relations with a deep commitment towards Indigenous reconciliation, we are strengthening our ability to support projects that are both well-designed and aligned with local priorities.”

Tulugak Northern Voice aims to help communities, Inuit organizations, governments and proponents build trusted partnerships, and navigate complex regulatory and impact assessment processes, advance development opportunities that are both economically viable and locally supported. SP

Federal Critical Minerals Vision Welcomed; Key Policy Gaps Remain

The Spring Economic Update includes welcomed measures, but more policy certainty is needed to achieve critical mineral potential for Canada, according to the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME).

“The Spring Economic Update underscores Prime Minister Mark Carney’s commitment to continued federal leadership on the Critical Minerals Strategy,” Said Todd Stone, AME President and CEO.

“Prime Minister Carney understands the importance of seizing the generational opportunity to unlock investments in Canada’s critical minerals industry.”

Canadian Exploration Expenditure (CEE) Eligibility

The economic update maintains changes that were brought forward in Budget 2025 to amend the Income Tax Act to clarify that expenses incurred for the purpose of determining the quality of a mineral resource in Canada do not include expenses related to determining the economic viability or engineering feasibility of the mineral resource.

AME continues to advocate for adopting the test for CEE as set out in the Seabridge Gold Inc. v. British Columbia (2025 BCSC 558) decision in the Income Tax Act of Canada that would include pre-production engineering costs, including preliminary economic assessments, prefeasibility studies, geotechnical work, and environmental baseline programs, as eligible CEE.

Uncertainty with

the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC)

The Spring Economic Update leaves uncertainty on the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC), expiring on March 31, 2027.

“Businesses require certainty to make informed decisions,” said Todd Stone. “We urge the federal government to provide long-term clarity on the METC to match its vision on critical minerals exploration and development.”

Originally introduced in 2025, the METC provides a 15% non-refundable tax credit on eligible flow-through shares, helping attract investment into developing critical minerals.

Ensuring Canada Strong Fund Attracts Investment to Mining

AME welcomes the federal government’s announcement of the Canada Strong Fund, Canada’s first sovereign wealth fund aimed at accelerating investment in major projects, including critical minerals.

“With an initial $25 billion commitment, the Canada Strong Fund signals a strong intent to mobilize capital and support nation-building projects,” said Stone.

“To maximize its impact, the Fund must be structured to reflect the realities of mineral exploration and development.”

AME recommends the following:

1. Building diversified exposure across the project pipeline, including for earlystage mineral exploration.

Adopt a portfolio approach that includes a mix of early-, mid-, and late-stage assets to manage risk while capturing upside from successful discoveries. Along with major projects this would include investments for early-stage

and development exploration projects with defence and critical mineral potential, where access to capital is often the most constrained.

2. Implement a dual-use designation to establish a formal dual-use designation for critical mineral projects.

This designation would recognize qualifying projects as serving both civilian economic and national defence purposes — unlocking the priority treatment, streamlined approvals, and dedicated funding Canada’s mineral sector needs to compete globally and supply our allies.

Structure investments to reflect the long development timelines of mining projects, using equity participation and co-investment models that improve risk-adjusted returns and crowd in institutional and private capital for mineral exploration.

3. Align capital deployment with efficient regulatory pathways.

Pair investments with coordinated federal efforts to improve permitting timelines, regulatory certainty, and access to land, ensuring capital can translate into timely project advancement.

With the right design, the Canada Strong Fund can help ensure that Canada discovers the minerals of the future, and develops them in the national interest.

About AME

AME champions mineral exploration as the foundation of Canada’s economic independence. We connect exploration to mineral development, clean technology, and national security. Through member advocacy, we ensure exploration remains central to Canada’s sovereignty and economic future. Learn more, sign up for updates, and get involved at mineralsfor tomorrow.ca. SP

NACG Acquires Iron Mine Contracting

This venture will establish a Tier 1 platform in Australia, with increased exposure to rare earth and critical minerals in Western Australia.

North American Construction Group Ltd. announced the closing of its acquisition of Iron Mine Contracting, with a closing date of April 7, 2026 and an economic effective date of January 1, 2026.

Total expected consideration is approximately $125 million, with the final consideration amount to be determined based on IMC’s financial statements as of December 31, 2025, which will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

IMC provides NACG with an established operating platform in Western Australia, including a diversified, bluechip customer base and exposure to gold, iron ore and lithium, further aligning the company with structural demand tied to rare earth and critical minerals. The combi-

nation of IMC with NACG’s existing MacKellar operations is expected to enhance scale and deepen local expertise while establishing a Tier 1 platform in the overall Australian market.

Since the Transaction was announced on December 18, 2025, IMC has progressed well in its growth plans with increasing scopes at key mine sites. Notably, scopes commenced as expected late in the first quarter of 2026 at a gold-copper mine in the Pilbara region.

Amended Credit Facility and Prudent Transaction Funding Structure

Concurrent with closing the Transaction, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with direct lending capacity of $535 million provided by Canadian

dollar and Australian dollar tranches. The facility also permits incurrence of $500 million of secured equipment financing from third party providers resulting in total senior secured capacity of over $1.0 billion. For reference, continued access to the bond market further enhances liquidity capacity. As part of the amendment, the maturity date of the credit facility was further extended to April 7, 2029. The credit facility remains comprised of a revolver with no scheduled repayments. Financial covenants are consistent with the previous agreement and are tested quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis.

Cash funding for the upfront payment of $41.5 million was provided by draws from the credit facility. Equipment financing of approximately $45 million was assumed at closing with remaining consideration, approximately one-third of the total, being provided by earnout and deferred payment mechanisms payable to the sellers over four years based on performance of the business.

National Bank Capital Markets is acting as finan-

cial advisor to NACG on this Transaction. Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP is acting as Canadian legal advisor and MinterEllison is acting as Australian legal advisor to NACG.

BC Adds Trades Training Certification For Crane Operators

Skilled trades certification expands to tower and mobile crane operators in British Columbia.

The Province is expanding skilled trades certification to tower and mobile crane operators to ensure consistent training and certification standards, improve crane safety and strengthen B.C.’s skilled trades workforce.

“Today we’re delivering on our commitment to crane operators and worker safety in British Columbia,” said Jessie Sunner, Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills. “By expanding skilled trades certification to crane operators, we’re formally recognizing the skills these workers already demonstrate every day while strengthening safety and training standards across the industry. This will create clearer pathways to well-paying careers and help build the workforce major projects across our province depend on.”

Transition to certification

Beginning Monday, July

6, 2026, people working as tower or mobile crane operators will have one year to register as an apprentice with SkilledTradesBC or take the skilled trades certification exam and become a journeyperson before the new requirements take effect on July 5, 2027.

“Crane operators do highly skilled, safety-critical work every day,” said Shelley Gray, CEO, SkilledTradesBC.

“Expanding skilled trades certification to these trades helps recognize that expertise, strengthen training and certification standards, and support the skilled workforce B.C. needs. SkilledTradesBC will work closely with crane operators, employers, industry partners and training providers to help them understand the new requirements, access supports and move through the certification pathway.”

During the transition

period, experienced workers can continue working while pursuing skilled trades certification. Provincial and federal supports will be available to help cover certain training costs, including tuition, travel and child care. Workers will have access to SkilledTradesBC apprenticeship advisers to support them in the transition to skilled trades certification, including navigating the registration process, accessing supports or preparing to take the exam.

“[This] announcement is an important milestone for crane operators and for all British Columbians who depend on safe, skilled work on our job sites,” said Bryan Railton, business manager, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115. “Restoring skilled trades certification reinforces the high standards of training, professionalism and safety that our industry demands. I thank the Prov-

ince of British Columbia and SkilledTradesBC for working with industry and labour to strengthen public safety and recognize the vital role of certified tradespeople in building our province.”

British Columbia has a record 50,000 registered apprentices. With major projects underway and proposed throughout the province, demand for skilled trades workers continues to grow. Certifi-

cation helps connect workers to stable, well-paying careers while helping employers access a skilled workforce.

“I served my mobile crane apprenticeship from 1999 to 2003,” said Ken Schubert, a Red Seal mobile crane operator. “At that time, certification wasn’t required, but I chose the apprenticeship route because I believed proper training was the right path. The theory and class-

room instruction that comes with an apprenticeship provides knowledge and skills that simply can’t be learned in the field alone. This is a positive step for an industry that needed change, and one that will strengthen both training and safety for future crane operators.”

Tower and mobile crane operators become the latest trades to require skilled trades

Workers will benefit from standardized training, nationally recognized Red Seal credentials, better wages, greater career mobility and clearer pathways to careers in the skilled trades.

“The B.C. Building Trades is pleased to see the expansion of skilled trades certification to tower and mobile crane operators,” commented Brynn Bourke, executive director, B.C. Building Trades. “Our members have been at the forefront of training crane operators and advocating for stronger training standards. This is a critical step in improving crane safety and equipping operators with the skills they need.”

Improving crane safety

The introduction of skilled trades certification for tower and mobile crane operators is part of a broader provincial strategy to strengthen crane safety, standards and accountability throughout British Columbia. The crane industry

ton’s network will provide customers with greater technical expertise, enhanced operational support, and access to a wider range of products and services. Customers will also benefit from Burton’s dedicated fleet of delivery trucks, enabling more reliable pickup and delivery, and improved turnaround times. The East Coast Die team will remain in place to ensure continuity, including former owner Bobby Dumas who will continue to be actively involved during the transition and support future growth, including the expansion of new die offerings.

“We are excited to welcome East Coast Die to the

nominated these two trades for skilled trades certification as part of an application process SkilledTradesBC established in 2023 to determine trades that will benefit from additional certification.

The new requirement also responds to recommendations from the Province’s Crane Safety Table, convened by the Minister of Labour with industry, labour and technical experts to co-ordinate and accelerate safety improvements. It complements recent actions to strengthen crane oversight in B.C., including WorkSafeBC’s work with industry partners to improve licensing, permitting and safety practices for crane operations.

SkilledTradesBC has worked closely with the International Union of Operating Engineers local 115, WorkSafeBC and other industry partners to strengthen training pathways and support crane operators pursuing certification.

“B.C. is undergoing unprecedented growth, but that growth cannot come at the expense of worker safety,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Labour. “Through skilled trades certification and our work with partners, we are establishing a higher

Burton family,” said Eddie Collins, Vice President of Reconditioning and Sales, US South, at Burton Mill Solutions. “Their experience and specialized knowledge strengthen our ability to support customers with expanded capacity, deeper technical expertise, and a more complete set of solutions.”

Bobby Dumas added, “I’m excited to partner with Burton Mill Solutions in this exciting next step for our business and our customers. With greater resources, expanded capacity, and the addition of new die offerings, there is a great opportunity for us to grow and deliver even more value.” East Coast Die’s products and capabilities will be integrated into Burton’s existing network of reconditioning and service centers across North America, further strengthening its ability to deliver reliable, high-quality support to the fuel and feed pellet industry.

JCB Targets New Land Speed Record Using Its Own Hydrogen Engines

British engineering giant JCB is targeting a new land speed record with a 32-foot car powered by its own hydrogen engines.

The Staffordshire-based manufacturer, which employs more than 20,000 people worldwide, has spent five years developing hydrogen internal combustion engines as part of a £100 million investment. JCB diggers powered by the technology have just started rolling off production lines.

Now, exactly 20 years after rewriting the record books with the JCB Dieselmax car, the company is returning to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to attempt a new speed record – this time using hydrogen power.

In August 2006, JCB Dieselmax, driven by Wing Commander Andy Green OBE, set a world diesel land speed record of 350.092 mph – a record that still stands. In August this year, Green will once again take the wheel, driving the hydrogen-powered JCB Hydromax. The JCB-led project is being

supported by Prodrive and Ricardo.

JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford, who has spearheaded the company’s hydrogen program, said: “Britain has a proud heritage of setting speed records and, as a British company, I’m excited to challenge for a new one using hydrogen. This is not just about speed – it’s about showcasing the world-class engineering talent we have here in the UK and the robustness of our new hydrogen engines.

“JCB Dieselmax was always a bit of an unusual idea – but it proved a point. Putting an advanced engine into a landspeed car showed the world what it could do in a way a digger never could. It’s the same thinking with hydrogen today. If you’re serious about emissions, you have to be serious about hydrogen – and a landspeed project is the perfect way to prove it.”

He added: “As for the speed, we’re aiming for with JCB Hydromax – we intend to beat 350 mph.”

Andy Green, the fastest man on earth at 763.035mph and the only person to break the sound barrier on land, said: “Twenty years ago, JCB took two of its diesel engines, sprinkled some magic engineering dust on them and put them into a racing car. We raced the JCB Dieselmax up to an astonishing speed - and a new FIA world record - of just over 350 mph. Today, that car is still the fastest diesel-engined vehicle in history. Now we’re going back to the Bonneville Salt Flats, spiritual home of the World Land Speed Record, with JCB’s new hydrogen engines.

“The ‘JCB Hydromax’ car is lighter, more powerful and faster than its predecessor of 20 years ago. Once again, we’re going to show

the world just how good British engineering and technology really is. This August we’re going to smash the hydrogen-powered vehicle record in the world’s fastest (and most exciting!) zero-emissions vehicle. I can’t wait.”

Testing will begin in the UK before the team heads to Bonneville SpeedWeek, the world’s leading land speed racing event, where competitors from around the globe gather to chase records on the vast Salt Flats. JCB Hydromax will run

with two production-based hydrogen engines, producing a combined 1,600 bhp. SpeedWeek is run by the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA), which governs and verifies official class records at the event.

The team will then remain at Bonneville to pursue officially recognised world records under the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motorsport.

JCB’s speed attempt comes ahead of the opening

of the company’s new $500 million, one million sq. ft, 400-acre factory in San Antonio, Texas, which will employ 1,500 people, manufacturing machines for the US market.

JCB has a long history of pushing the limits of speed. In 2019, the JCB Fastrac tractor was crowned the world’s fastest tractor at 135.191 mph, while in 2014 the JCB GT set the world record for the fastest backhoe loader at 72.58 mph. SP

Kingston Purchases Two Mack LR Electric Refuse Vehicles

The City of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, recently spotlighted two Mack LR Electric refuse models the city purchased in its alignment with its vision of being “Canada’s Most Sustainable City” and furthering its commitment to leading climate action.

The Mack LR Electric trucks are Kingston’s first battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) in its Solid Waste fleet.

“One of the city’s strategic priorities is leading environmental stewardship and climate action, and purchasing these Mack LR Electric trucks is one of the ways we are working toward the achievement of these goals,” said Brent Fowler, City of Kingston director of Corporate Asset Management and Fleet.

Funding support from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) enabled the addition of the two Mack LR Electric models to Kingston’s fleet. The Mack LR Electric BEVs have been in service since July 2025, when they were introduced to coincide with the city’s automated cart-based waste collection rollout.

“These vehicles have been in service for nearly a year, operating five days a week,” said Karen Santucci, director of Public Works and Solid Waste for Kingston. “Their performance is top-notch, and the reception from both the public and our Solid Waste operators have been overwhelmingly positive.”

The Mack LR Electric side-loaders were sold by Mack dealer Surgenor Truck Group, which also provides service and support for the LR Electric vehicles. The LR Electric bodies were supplied by LaBrie Environmental Group.

“Kingston is showing what leadership looks like by pairing an ambitious sustainability vision with realworld investments that make

a difference for residents and for the environment,” said George Fotopoulos, Mack vice president of e-mobility.

Kingston was the first municipality in Ontario to have BEVs. Through FCM’s Green Municipal Fund, the city received $500,000 to support the purchase. Kingston has a goal to reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30% by 2030 as part of Kingston’s vision to be Canada’s Most Sustainable City, contributing to a broader national objective for Canada to be net-zero emissions by 2050.

The next generation Class 8 Mack LR Electric refuse model offers a standard 376 kWh total battery capacity for 42 percent more energy and increased range between vehicle charges compared to the previous generation. Twin electric motors produce 448 continuous horsepower and 4,051 lb.-ft. of peak torque output from zero RPM.

Four NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) lithiumion batteries, charged through a 150 kW, SAE J1772-compliant charging system, power the vehicle and all onboard accessories through 12V, 24V and 600V circuits. The twostage regenerative braking system helps recapture energy from the hundreds of stops the vehicle makes each day with an increasing load.

The LR Electric is easily recognizable by its coppercolored Bulldog on the cab, denoting the all-electric

powertrain. The vehicle offers the same driver- and passenger-side configurations and customization options as

PrePass Safety Alliance and HAAS Alert Join Forces For Safety Awareness

First-of-its-kind nationwide collaboration will integrate HAAS Alert Safety Cloud technology into PrePass Safety Alerts, delivering real-time roadside hazard warnings to professional drivers through the PrePass Mobile App.

PrePass Safety Alliance, the nonprofit public-private partnership advancing commercial vehicle safety and efficiency, and HAAS Alert, a pioneer in real-time digital safety alerting technology, has announced a strategic collaboration to integrate HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud Alert solution into PrePass Safety Alerts - expanding the product’s capabilities to include live digital warnings for approaching emergency vehicles, incident responders,

and active work zones.

Through a first-of-itskind nationwide partnership PrePass and HAAS Alert will deliver critical roadside safety alerts directly to professional drivers using the PrePass Mobile App across the lower 48 states. This collaboration combines PrePass nationwide trucking reach with HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud, North America’s most comprehensive platform for dynamic road hazard alerts. With this integration,

PrePass Safety Alerts will notify drivers of active roadside emergency scenes, work zones, and other roadway events before they reach them - giving commercial truck drivers minutes of advance warning rather than seconds provided by traditional lights and signage alone. The Safety Cloud platform automatically captures hazard events when emergency or incident responders activate their vehicles’ warning lights or when work

zone equipment is deployed, requiring no additional action from crews in the field and enabling them to focus on the job at hand. Safety Cloud Alert sends this safety information in real time to driver-facing solutions via cloud-to-cloud or cloud-tovehicle delivery channels.

“PrePass Safety Alliance has always been committed to making highways safer and more efficient for commercial drivers, and this collaboration with HAAS Alert is a natural extension of that mission,” said Mark Doughty President and CEO of PrePass Safety Alliance. “By adding Safety Cloud to our Safety Alerts platform, we are giving commercial truck drivers earlier, more reliable warnings about the hazards that require them to slow down and move over. This is exactly the kind of partnership that helps everyone get

home safely.”

The integration builds on the existing capabilities of PrePass Safety Alerts, which already provides commercial drivers with audible and visual notifications for weather conditions, traffic slowdowns, road restrictions, and parking availability. The addition of Safety Cloud further strengthens PrePass’ safety mission by creating greater visibility and helping fleets reduce crash risk and improve compliance with Move Over laws now enacted in all 50 states.

“We’re proud to partner with PrePass Safety Alliance to bring Safety Cloud alerts to the professional drivers who share the road with first responders and roadway workers every day,” said Cory Hohs, CEO of HAAS Alert.

“Commercial truck drivers are among the most important stakeholders in roadside safety, and integrating with

PACCAR Updates MX-11 & MX-13 Engine Software

PACCAR Inc. has announced that Peterbilt Motors Company and Kenworth Truck Company will implement updated software for vehicles equipped with PACCAR MX-11 and PACCAR MX-13 engines.

The change reflects revised U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) guidance on Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) inducements. Trucks manufactured after July 20, 2026 will have the software installed at the factory. Trucks built after 2018 will be available for these software updates at Peterbilt and Kenworth dealerships.

In alignment with the EPA’s guidance, these updates are designed to help Peterbilt and Kenworth customers improve reliability

and reduce unnecessary disruptions to their operations by:

Having the final inducement speed limit increased from 5 mph to 25 mph

Extending the timeline from 4 to 160 hours for component-related or fluidquality issues before reaching final inducement speed limit

DEF inducements are safeguards that reduce vehicle speed and power when emissions system issues are detected. Common issues

PrePass Safety Alerts gives us an important channel to deliver nationwide real-time warnings that can save lives. This partnership reflects our shared belief that technology should be put to work protecting the people who keep America moving.”

Together, PrePass Safety Alliance and HAAS Alert are setting a new standard for driver safety technology in the commercial transportation industry. Fleet operators and drivers will benefit from a single, seamlessly integrated safety platform that covers parking, weather, traffic, road restrictions, and now nationwide, real-time emergency and work zone alerts — all delivered through the PrePass Mobile App without requiring any additional hardware or applications.

include low DEF levels or reduced Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system performance. DEF inducements prompt drivers to correct the issue by refilling the DEF tank, repairing faulty sensors, or performing a system regeneration. All MX-powered vehicles remain subject to EPA emissions requirements. Vehicles requiring repairs to emissions components must be serviced to maintain compliance. SP

Trucking Is Dangerous

Readers: When I wrote A TRUCKER’S TALE, I penned it as though I was talking from one truck driver to another. My publisher didn’t think the non-trucking reader would understand most of the truck specific references, so the editors removed many of them. I cannot fault them, since the book was published and has sold pretty well. Therefore, I hope you truckers, and likeminded truck folks, enjoy this article.

How many drivers do you know, including yourselves, who have been injured, or killed (obviously, not yourselves) while conscientiously performing the multitude of tasks required of truck drivers? Do you remember how much fun it was, while climbing up onto the catwalk to hook your hoses and pigtail, to slip and bust your ass on the wet, or snow-covered, or iced-over diamond plate steel? What of the joy of opening the right trailer door, just before backing into the dock, to have product fall on your head? Haven’t you felt just wonderful suffering the pain, and even worse, the embarrassment, after you have fallen out of a trailer because you lost your footing on the wet floor? (My grandad, Obie, said he never fell—the pavement always jumped-up and hit him.)

Raise your hand if you have ever been cut by the sharpness of the bent-up end of the Signode strap found on thousands of products? These injuries used to be even more frequent because some receivers required truck drivers to cut the steel bands of each bundle. Those suckers acted like they had homing devices, because the taut straps would “take-off” upon being cut. Maybe I just wasn’t careful when I received the (still-evident) scar on my left arm.

Flatbed and lowboy trucking offers truck drivers even more chances than vans to bust their own asses. It just stands to reason that if you climb onto a trailer often enough, you will eventually fall. Until the past few years, there were not even handholds, much less ladders to help a driver climb onto the trailer beds, so they had to do so one of several ways. The first was by placing your fingers in the tie-down pockets at the rear of the trailer, stepping onto the ICC bumper, and then pulling yourself up. Another method, if you were young and agile, was to stand on the tractor’s catwalk and hold onto the headboard as

you glided around it. (I used to be young and agile, but one time my hands slipped, and I busted my ass anyway while trying this maneuver.) I also saw a young man, who resembled a shorter version of The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), stand flatfooted beside a flatbed, and then he squatted-down and jumped the 55 inches up onto the trailer. (Very impressive, and he was the only person I ever saw do that trick.)

Ass-busting possibilities increase exponentially when Mother Nature offers wind, rain, snow, or any form of precipitation, and traction prettymuch becomes negligible. Aggravating hardly describes the effort required to secure and tarp a flatbed load when your hands are as cold as ice. Working with chains and binders and nylon straps provides even more opportunity for driver injury. While using a binder pipe to tighten your chains, what usually happens when the chain breaks? Exactly, you fall! You get up most of the time, but sometimes these events require a doctor’s immediate attention.

Many drivers have had teeth knocked out when a chain binder has snapped open and hit them in the face. These binders have caused many drivers to carry facial scars, thanks to the stitches they have received. I know some drivers who consider their scars as “badges of honor,” or even “badges of courage,” and the scars provide visual proof for the telling of the their tall-tales regarding how the injuries occurred.

Drivers had to be extracareful when they pulled older trailers. Sometimes, as you were rolling down the dollies far enough that you had to push in the handle to engage low gear, one of the bolts would break on either the handle or the rod. Here was another opportunity for you to get your teeth knocked out.

Not all drivers’ injuries are caused by the inherent dangers associated with trucking. Some, I am sad to relate,

are due to a driver’s desire to prove his agility and physical condition. As an example, although, at the time, I was an office worker at a trucking terminal, there were times when I needed to, or was required, to drive a truck. Once, by not having a road driver available to pick up a load of steel, I pulled-on my overalls, pre-tripped a tractor and flatbed, and then drove about eight miles to Bethlehem Steel, Sparrows Point, MD, which, of course, is now closed and torn-down.

After backing into Dock 48, I set up the trailer for a load of steel coils, using 4 X 4s and coil racks. The mill prohibited drivers from standing on their trailers, and from sitting in their tractors, while the trailer was being crane-loaded, so I moseyed-off to the men’s room to kill some time. When I returned, I retrieved something from my tractor, and then I noticed that the trailer was already loaded. I closed the tractor’s passengerside door, and I looked down the side of the trailer at the loading dock. The dock was the perfect height for me to showcase my physical abilities by jumping-up on it, so I lit-out running alongside my trailer. Using my last step as the “push” step up onto the dock, I saw myself “Leaping tall buildings in a single bound!”

Have you guessed that my “push” step did not go as planned? Well, that last step was planted in the middle of a puddle of steel coil oil. Pain! god dam, the pain was excruciating! The material from both my blue jeans and my blue overalls were impaled into my dented shin bone and skin. The steel-covered corner of the concrete dock held up very well despite my leg’s withering onslaught.

My acrobatics were witnessed by numerous steel workers and truck drivers. Even though my leg hurt so badly that I wanted to cry, I got up, brushed myself off, and then walked onto my trailer as if nothing had hap-

pened. I felt as like I was going to pass out at any moment as I began the unbelievably painful task of chaining and tarping these coils.

I did not have stitches because there was not enough skin on my shin to stitch. Actually, what I really needed was a bone-graft! I quietly wear both my “badge of stupidity” and my “badge of embarrassment,” as the dent in my left shin proudly advertises the color of Wrangler Blue.

Increasing Uptime For Your Hydro Excavator

In hydro excavation, uptime is productivity.

Every hour a vacuum excavator is sidelined for maintenance, repairs or avoidable wear is time crews aren’t completing work on schedule. Whether operating a full-size truck on large infrastructure projects or a compact unit in congested urban environments, keeping equipment running reliably is critical to jobsite efficiency and longterm profitability.

The good news is that maximizing uptime starts with a few consistent best practices — along with choos ing equipment engineered for durability and serviceability.

Prioritize preventive maintenance

The most effective way to reduce downtime is to stay ahead of it.

Routine inspections and scheduled maintenance help identify small issues before they become major repairs. Regularly checking belts, fil ters, hydraulic systems, water

pumps and vacuum components helps ensure equipment continues operating at peak performance. It’s also important to follow manufacturer-recommended service intervals and seasonal maintenance procedures. In colder climates, winterization protects water systems and components from freezing damage. During warmer months, keeping

starts with proper operation.

Operators who understand safe digging procedures, recommended pressure settings and proper excavation techniques help reduce unnecessary strain on the machine. Consistent training also improves efficiency and helps crews recognize potential maintenance issues before they escalate.

Features that simplify operation can also contribute to uptime by reducing operator fatigue and limiting avoidable errors. Compact units like the TRUVAC Paradigm are designed with simplified controls and quick setup systems that reduce operational com-

accessories and tooling for the application helps improve performance while reducing wear on the equipment.

Factors like soil conditions, excavation depth, climate and debris type all affect machine demands. Running the correct boom, vacuum system or water configuration for the environment helps crews work more efficiently and helps protect critical systems from unnecessary stress.

Versatile equipment platforms can also improve uptime and reduce costs by allowing contractors and municipalities to use one machine across a broader range of applications reducing the

tors protected from excess moisture and environmental exposure helps preserve critical components and reduce long-term deterioration.

These simple habits help maintain consistent performance and reduce avoidable downtime over the life of the machine.
