Heavy Equipment Industry Responds to Haitian Crisis
Numerous heavy equipment manufacturers respondedswiftly to the disaster. They did so for genuine humanitarianreasons as well as in recognition of the fact that a voluntaryresponse was appropriate. After all, major reconstructionefforts eventually will require their equipment.
A preliminary sampling of manufacturer relief effortresponses shows:
• Volvo Construction Equipment North America matchedemployee donations that were contributed by Feb. 1. Thetotal amount will be consolidated with donations from otherVolvo business areas and business units in North Americainto one Volvo Group NA gift. In addition, Volvo Group NAwill be providing support on the ground, and both Mack andVolvo Trucks NA will make corporate contributions;
• Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas (HCEA)provided an R110-7A to its dealer in the DominicanRepublic, Tokmakjian. This machine will in turn be donatedto the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti along with anR210LC-7 that will be provided by Tokmakjian directly.
HCEA President John Lim also visited the DominicanRepublic and traveled to Haiti to assist in the relief effortsfirst hand.
• The John Deere Foundation is donating $250,000 to theRed Cross for Haiti and the corporate office is matchingemployee donations up to $1,000 per employee;
• Case New Holland has been involved in efforts to relievethe humanitarian crisis in Haiti since the country was strick-en by a mammoth earthquake and subsequent aftershocks.The company is supporting relief efforts by providing Case,New Holland and Kobelco construction equipment andcompanywide monetary donations.
“Soged S.A., the Case dealer in Haiti, immediatelydeployed available excavators, wheel loaders and otherequipment to assist in recovery efforts. And EDOM —Empresas Dominicanas C.A., a New Holland/Kobelco deal-er in the Dominican Republic, was able to offer delivery ofup to 10 machines within 24 hours,” said Jim McCullough,president and CEO, CNH Construction Equipment. “Our
Case, New Holland and Kobelco brands will continue tosupport recovery efforts in the coming weeks,” he added.
CNH also has offered several pieces of heavy constructionequipment to Haiti, including crawler excavators rangingfrom 7 to 16 tons (6.3 to 14.5 t), a tractor loader backhoe andmotorgrader, through the United Nations.
• Kubota Corporation’s affiliated companies in the UnitedStates and Canada, including Kubota Tractor Corporation(KTC); Kubota Credit Corporation (KCC); KubotaManufacturing of America (KMA); Kubota IndustrialEquipment (KIE); Kubota Engine America Corporation(KEA); and Kubota Canada, Ltd., have donated $50,000 inequipment in-kind for ongoing relief efforts in Haiti. Kubotahas provided Kubota generators and other electronic and firstaid supplies through the California-based Operation USA.
“Kubota employees around the world would like toexpress our sympathy for the victims and their families of therecent earthquake disaster in Haiti,” stated Satoshi Iida, pres-ident, Kubota Tractor Corporation (USA). “Kubota sincere-ly hopes for the eventual recovery and re-settlement of thoseimpacted by this crisis. It is our hope that this donation willbe helpful to the significant humanitarian work ongoingtoward relief efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake.”
In addition, Kubota Corporation of Osaka, Japan, hasalready made a contribution of $110,000 to the Japanese RedCross Society for earthquake relief assistance. The combinedKubota Corporation worldwide donation also representscontributions from affiliated companies in Europe, Asia, andAustralia.
• The Caterpillar Foundation is making an initial contri-bution of $200,000 to international Red Cross and RedCrescent relief efforts. The Foundation also will match dol-lar-for-dollar Caterpillar employee, retiree and Cat dealeremployee financial contributions to the Red Cross to a totalof $300,000
Cat corporate executives also are working through a deal-er in Haiti called Haytrac in the deployment of equipmentand operators to the stricken area. Afew pieces of equipment
Only after completing the task of caring for and stabi-lizing the residents will the effort shift to clearingaway entire blocks of debris in the capital city andelsewhere.
The 7.0-magnitude quake that struck Haiti just beforedusk on Jan. 12 collapsed thousands of concrete-blockhomes and larger buildings. The next morning’s lightrevealed wholesale destruction and loss of life in thenation’s capital, Port-Au-Prince.
Appealing to manufacturers who have supported hisnonprofit work to date, Tad Agoglia managed toassemble a small stable of equipment suitable for theHaitian task. The Pete Store in Knoxville, Tenn., donat-ed a tri-axle Peterbilt dump truck.
Because Haiti generally is considered the poorestnation in the Western Hemisphere, recovery is expect-ed to be slow amid enormous human suffering.
Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas (HCEA) provided an R110-7A to its dealer in the DominicanRepublic, Tokmakjian. This machine was donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti along with an R210LC-7.

Razing, Hauling Away Rubble Could Take Three Monthshave been sent already. Two backhoe loadersand three hydraulic excavators were donatedto Haytrac and hydraulic excavators andwheel loaders are being transported for usein Haiti via Rio Haina in the neighboringDominican Republic. Caterpillar also tem-porarily suspended fees for emergency partsorders from Haiti and quickened the partsordering process.
These and other contributions by manu-facturers helped support the early work ofrecovering bodies and establishing emer-gency medical and food supply centers. Asmany as one million Haitians are believed tohave been displaced by the quake. Only aftercompleting the task of caring for and stabi-lizing them will the effort shift to clearingaway entire blocks of debris in the capitalcity and elsewhere. That demolition activityeventually will be followed by repair ofinfrastructure and construction of new build-ings.
In some respects, the reconstruction willbe just a continuation of pre-quake activityin Haiti. Two months ago, for example, theWorld Bank authorized tens of millions ofdollars for transportation projects in thecountry including rebuilding of farm-to-market roadways. Some of that money wasto replace infrastructure damaged by hurri-canes and tropical storms that struck in 2007and 2008.
Now, many more rebuilding dollars willbe needed.
Before demolition and construction bid-ding can begin, relief organizations and vol-unteers are being relied upon to do the work.They have begun the process of clearingaway the latest layer of debris from Haiti’ssoil. Among those helping with this earlywork are members of the First ResponseTeam of America.
“We loaded up equipment yesterday andare just about ready to hop on a ship,” TadAgoglia reported Jan. 26 from a Florida har-bor. Agoglia and three other team memberssubsequently crossed the Atlantic waters toPort-Au-Prince where Agoglia expects tospend three months demolishing and haulingaway destroyed buildings. The other mem-bers of his team will spend one year in thecountry
The First Response Team is a nonprofitoutfit that responds immediately to naturaldisasters anywhere in the United States.Because of the proximity of Haiti to theUnited States and the level of destructioninvolved, Agoglia decided to send respon-ders to work the disaster.
“In the days immediately after the quake,”Agoglia explained on his Web site (firstre-sponseteam.org), “the team struggled withdeciding whether or not responding to theneeds of Haiti would jeopardize our com-
mitment to respond to disasters in the UnitedStates. But at the end of the day, our focus ison humanity. And how could we turn ourbacks on such an epic disaster, so close tohome, that has left a large portion of Haitiwondering if there will ever be anothertomorrow.”
Appealing to manufacturers who havesupported his nonprofit work to date,Agoglia managed to assemble a small stableof equipment suitable for the Haitian task.The Pete Store in Knoxville, Tenn., donateda tri-axle Peterbilt dump truck. ClevelandBrothers in Pennsylvania contributed aCaterpillar 312 excavator.
Adonated trailer was a serendipitous find.Agoglia was on his way to Litchfield, Minn.,to express his gratitude to TowmasterTrailers president David Lundin for previousequipment donations when he heard aboutthe destructive quake. The disaster naturallycame up in conversation with Lundin andthe company executive realized he had atrailer in inventory that could help Agoglia inHaiti. A 19-ft. low-profile Towmaster T-4040,000-lb. capacity trailer now hauls theexcavator from tumbled building to tumbledbuilding in Port-Au-Prince.
“I knew he had to get his equipmenttogether quickly,” Lundin said, explaininghis rapid decision to donate the trailer. Henoted that his company has pledged to aidthe First Response Team for some time tocome. “I know it’s a financial commitment,but it’s the right thing to do as a company.”
Bob Piper knows something aboutresponding to natural disasters. Piper is vicepresident for industry relations of AssociatedBuilders and Contractors. In the days imme-diately following Hurricane Katrina, he wasinvolved coordinating the response of ABCchapters in the Gulf area. He was part of an
effort to deliver a truckload of water andclothing. Piper subsequently helped raisefunds and train volunteers for reconstructionefforts in the region as part of a BusinessRoundtable campaign.
As for Haiti, Piper doesn’t yet see compa-rable opportunity for a coordinated interven-tion.
“The best anyone can do right now is tosend dollars. We will become more involvedonce the rebuild actually begins.”
Piper said a couple of ABC members havecontacted him asking how to respond.
“A line company out of Nevada is want-ing to send some crews to help, for instance.But until we actually have a source of infor-mation on the ground, we’re not sendinganyone. We will continue looking foravenues to get involved and when they openup, we will put it out to our members.”
Several general contractors in theCharlottesville, Va., area were involved inHaiti long before the quake rattled the coun-try. The contractors — most of whom aremembers of Associated General Contractors— constitute a nonprofit organization calledBuilding Goodness Foundation. It was start-ed 11 years ago by a few builders and archi-tects who volunteered to help build a ruralcommunity center in Haiti.
“After I came back home, I was fairly dis-turbed by what I saw,” one of those builders,Jack Stoner, said of his introduction to Haiti.“One man said to me that it was one of themost important things we’ve done in ourworking lives and asked me how we can domore of it.”
The stricken consciences of Stoner andhis volunteer companions sparked formationof the organization, which employs theirskills to improve the lives of needy commu-nities at home and overseas. Over the past
decade, Building Goodness Foundation haserected community centers, clinics andhousing in several states as well as in Haiti,Guatemala and Honduras. In all, some 1,200volunteers have expended approximately80,000 volunteer hours working on nearly240 buildings.
Haitian projects have included construc-tion of two medical clinics, 15 small housesand a 6,000-sq.-ft. headquarters compoundas well as repair of school buildings.
“All the houses we built are hurricaneproof and now have proven to be earthquakeproof. The concrete houses fell down but ourwood-frame houses survived. There is a realdemand now to have us come back and buildsome more.”
Stoner said the organization is working onprototype structures that can be adapted foruse as schools, clinics or business places.
“We probably are two or three monthsaway from sending in teams for rebuilding,”the co-owner of Alexander/Nicholson Inc.said. “It will be an overwhelming task.Normally we would send four to five groupsto Haiti in a year. Now we will have to send15 to 20 groups to have an impact.”
What Building Goodness has discoveredis that more skilled volunteers are needed towork with unskilled Haitian partners onprojects. Stoner said more attention also willbe paid to raising the skill level of the Haitianworkers. Such training was frowned uponpreviously because it was feared the build-ing-trained workers would leave for the cityinstead of staying in rural areas where theiragricultural skills are needed. Now, howev-er, building talent will be at a premium inmany parts of the country.
Stoner welcomed the interest of anyonewanting to volunteer or contribute to theorganization — or to start a BuildingGoodness unit in another part of the country,for that matter. He believes the work remainsvital both as a humanitarian response and anindustry outreach.
That combination is what inspired themen to form the nonprofit. The group ofbuilders realized that a lot of good nonprofitgroups needed buildings and infrastructure“and had no idea how to put them together.It just sort of grew out of that.”
He believes “a lot” of public misconcep-tions exist about the construction industry asregards the public interest. He sees volunteerconstruction activity as visible promotion ofthe industry and a genuine contribution tocommunities.
After all, Stoner observed, “the humani-tarian crisis in Haiti wouldn’t be there if thebuildings hadn’t fallen down.”

Hamm Inc. Spearheads $113.4M Kansas Turnpike ProjectColtrane, KTAdesign and construction engi-neer. “Approximately half of this contractnot only changes the profile for these bridgesbut also the roadway between them. Thereare places where the new asphalt is 3 feethigher than the existing asphalt pavementand both are carrying traffic. This has creat-ed several unique challenges for temporarydrainage and phasing traffic.”
To accommodate traffic, six of the bridgesare being built half at a time. Traffic will bediverted to the completed half of the bridgewhile the old bridge is demolished. Then thesecond half of the new bridge will be con-structed.
Two lanes for mainline traffic will bemaintained at all times. Commercial traffic,however, is harder to accommodate, as it isoften too wide to travel in normal lanes.Currently, there is a 12-ft. (3.66 m) widthrestriction in construction zones.
In addition, several bridges are being builton new alignment and several are beinglengthened substantially.
Environmental RestrictionsEnvironmental restraints also pose a chal-
lenge.First, this portion of the Kansas River pro-
vides a seasonal habitat for the AmericanBald Eagle. A pre-project survey identifiednineteen trees that were potential Bald Eaglehabitat that would be removed during con-struction.
Project specifications required that no treebe removed between Nov. 15 and March 15to accommodate the birds. In addition, treeremoval had to be offset by a three-to-oneratio where at least three trees of any partic-ular type were planted to replace any treethat was removed. In 2008, 60 trees wereplanted in the area to mitigate the removal ofthe 19 trees.
Bridge construction below the water sur-face was restricted between May 1 and Aug.15, to accommodate the spawning season ofthe Flathead Chub and Sturgeon Chub.
In addition, the Kansas River has an opencauseway directive allowing access forrecreational boat traffic and the KUWomen’s Rowing Team. The project stipu-lates that a 100-ft. (30.5 m) causeway open-ing be maintained throughout the construc-tion process.
These restraints forced contractors and theKTA to carefully plan construction withattention to timing, engineering and cost.
The Twin BridgesThe design work for the twin bridges in
Lawrence, Kan., was awarded to Finney andTurnipseed P.A. of Topeka, Kan., who coin-cidentally, also performed some of the origi-nal design work on the turnpike in the 1950s.United Contractors of Johnston, Iowa, was
hired to construct the two river bridges. Thebridges, which were constructed more than50 years ago were nearing the end of theiruseful lives.
When completed, each bridge will be2,332 ft. (711 m) long. The concrete deckswill be supported by steel beams fabricatedby steel plates to form the “I” section. Thesebeams are approximately 93 in. (23.6 m) tall.
There are multiple spans ranging from125 to 250 ft. (38 to 76 m) in length. Bothbridges will provide a 56-ft. (17 m) roadway,consisting of three 12-ft. lanes (3.7 m) andtwo 10-ft. (3.1 m) shoulders. The bridgesshould exceed a design life of 75 years,assuming appropriate maintenance.
Drilled shafts for the new piers range indiameter from 84 to 96 in. (213 to 244 cm)and range in depth from 53 to 73 ft. (16.2 to22.3 m).
The project includes 17 bridges,six of which are being built halfat a time. Here, the westboundKansas River bridge is construct-ed by United Contractors.
When the project is finished 24,200 cu.yds. (18,502 cu m) of concrete will havebeen used to construct the bridges.
Crawler cranes were used for lifting andplacing many materials onto the bridge.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) The Lincoln City Council and theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln are preparing to partner ona new, 16,000-seat arena that would become home to theNebraska basketball teams.
Tentative plans for the West Haymarket arena call for thecity and UNL to form a joint public agency to fund and over-see the $340 million project. The city would retain owner-ship of the arena.
Once built, the Nebraska men’s and women’s basketballteams would move from the Devaney Center, their homesince 1976. The new arena is projected to open in September2013, with the teams playing there for at least 30 years.
According to a draft of the arena agreement, UNL’s ath-letics department would pay the city $750,000 in rent eachyear, adjusted annually for inflation. The city also would col-lect a $1 surcharge on every game ticket sold.
The city projects the arena would bring in $1.5 million insales tax revenue each year. Abill before the state Legislaturewould allow Lincoln and other cities to use sales tax gener-ated by the construction of convention centers, sports arenasand amusement parks to help pay off construction bonds.
Lincoln also would increase taxes on hotel rooms, bar andrestaurant purchases, and car rentals to help repay a $25 mil-lion bond for the project.
Additional funding for the project would likely comefrom donations, revenue from the arena and two new park-ing garages and the sale of retail space.
The City Council voted Feb. 8 on the agreement withUNL, formation of the joint agency and a special election forthe bond issue.
Nebraska regents still need to vote on the project. If both sides approve, the city would retain naming rights
to the new arena, but UNL could sell the rights to name thebasketball court and locker rooms.
Included in the arena’s $340 million price is the $51 mil-lion cost of moving three sets of railroad tracks from thearena site. The railroad deal includes construction of a newAmtrak station.

Cat Showcases Its Tier IV Interim/Stage IIIB ReadinessUnveiling the next generation of
industry leading products,Caterpillar Inc. is showcasing itsTier IV Interim/Stage IIIB readi-ness at an emissions strategyupdate event for industry profes-sionals at the company’s Edwards,
Ill., Learning and Demonstrationfacility. Caterpillar’s Tier IVInterim/Stage IIIB engine technol-ogy includes integrated systemdesign built upon the success of thecompany’s ACERT technology.Additional technologies, includingpowertrain innovation andaftertreatment devices, will bespecifically tailored and applied toproducts to provide maximumvalue to customerswhile meeting thestringent emissionrequirements man-dated by law.
“Our Tier IVInterim/Stage IIIBproducts will bedelivered on time,on cost and with thequality, durabilityand reliability ourcustomers expectand deserve,” saidCaterpillar GroupPresident StuLevenick. “Tier IVInterim/Stage IIIB is the mostaggressive and expensive productdevelopment initiative inCaterpillar history. We began thisjourney with Tier I in 1996, andwith each new tier we continue tobuild upon our proven technolo-gies, product development andstrong dealer network.”
Caterpillar’s significant researchand development costs are primari-ly due to the new product introduc-tion programs related to Tier IVInterim/Stage IIIB emissions com-pliance.
“Our pricing strategy will focuson providing customers with thebest value proposition in the mar-ket, a broad-based deploymentprocess that minimizes disruptionwhile at the same time allows thecompany to recover significantmulti-year costs necessary to meetthe new regulations,” saidLevenick. “While the details havenot yet been finalized, price actions
associated with recovering thecosts of Tier IV Interim/Stage IIIBfor our machines in the 130-560kilowatt power range may increaseprices by as much as 12 percentover our Tier IV Interim/Stage IIIBintroduction time frame. We antic-ipate the first increase, startingJanuary 1, 2011, to be about onethird of the 12 percent increase.Pricing for commercial engineapplications, such as electricpower, industrial and petroleum,will vary depending on productand power range. We plan to initi-
ate broad-based emissions relatedprice actions also starting January1, 2011, for all products, includingthose utilizing transitional provi-sions.”
In 2004, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency and theEuropean Union introduced TierIV and Stage IIIB/IV emissionstandards respectively, with effec-tive dates ranging from 2008 to
2015. Tier IV/StageIV standardsrequire emissions ofparticulate matter(PM) and oxides ofnitrogen (NOx) tobe reduced by morethan 90 percent.
“It’s not justabout emissions —our focus is on thecustomer,” saidMarketing andProduct SupportVice President RodBeeler. “Our ulti-mate goal is toexceed expectations
by developing products that aresafer, more efficient and environ-mentally responsible without sacri-ficing performance.”
It is projected that Caterpillarwill accumulate nearly one millionhours of testing on Tier IVInterim/Stage IIIB engines andmachines by the end of 2010.
During the strategy update,Caterpillar previewed some of itsnewly developed machines includ-ing a 336E hydraulic excavator,140M motorgrader, 980H wheelloader and 775 off-highway truck.The company also will showcase
its Tier IV Interim/Stage IIIBreadiness at the international tradeshow, Bauma 2010, this April inMunich, Germany.

House Democrats Try for Mall of America, Investor Tax CreditsBy Martiga LohnASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) House Democrats outlined a planJan. 29 to steer private money toward growing small busi-nesses, historic renovations and hotel construction at theMall of America with tax credits and other tax measures.
They aim to revive tax incentives that passed theLegislature in past years as part of larger tax bills that werevetoed.
This time, though, the credits and other measures wouldbe put forward in a separate bill, and House TaxesCommittee Chairwoman Ann Lenczewski said she is shoot-ing for quick agreement on the package with SenateDemocrats and Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
“We are working in the world of the doable. This is not
fantasy legislation,” said Lenczewski, DFL-Bloomington. House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher promised
thousands of jobs would come from three bills, including thetax proposal, a public works bonding bill and economicdevelopment initiatives still being worked out. The tax billwould include changes in tax-related financing for a Mall ofAmerica expansion that could get a hotel project at the malloff the ground.
“We are going to put thousands of Minnesotans back towork again through our work early in this legislative ses-sion,” said Kelliher, who is among 14 Democrats running forgovernor.
Harry Melander, president of the St. Paul Building andConstruction Trades Council, said the hotel project alonewould create 200 to 250 full-time construction jobs. His esti-mates have the overall mall expansion employing 1,700 con-struction workers for three years.
Lenczewski’s bill would establish a tax credit for investorswho put money into high-tech companies, manufacturersand eco-friendly businesses with fewer than 100 employeesand less than $2 million a year in revenue. It would offeranother tax credit for qualified historic renovation projects.
The bill would cover the $10 million-a-year cost of thosetax credits by eliminating a corporate tax shelter related toreal estate investments.
Republican House Minority Leader Kurt Zellers had alukewarm reaction to the bill. He said he supports efforts tospur investment in growing businesses and the Mall ofAmerica but had concerns about parts of the proposal thatwould allow local governments to control some taxes gener-ated by new development.
Pawlenty’s spokesman Brian McClung said the governoris a strong supporter of the investment tax credit for smallbusinesses.
Jim Parker, vice president,Americas distribution, wel-comes the media to the Tier IVtrade press event.
Stu Levenick, group president,speaks to the media aboutwhat Caterpillar’s projectionsare for the next year.

ness at an emissions strategy update event for industryprofessionals at the company’s Edwards, Ill., Learning andDemonstration facility.

ARTBAVoices Opposition toEPA’s New Ozone Proposal
A proposal from the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) to tighten ozonestandards threatens to put hundreds of com-munities across America out of compliancewith the Clean Air Act (CAA) and, in turn,places federal highway funds for those areasat risk.
That was the message American Road &Transportation Builders Association(ARTBA) Assistant General Counsel &Director of Regulatory Affairs NickGoldstein delivered at a Jan. 25 EPA CleanAir Scientific Advisory Committee hearingon the agency’s proposed regulation.ARTBA was the only construction associa-tion to testify.
“Nearly 42,000 people die on U.S. high-ways each year and many federally-fundedhighway improvements are designed specif-ically to address safety issues. As such,imposing new ozone standards that lead tohighway improvements being denied couldbe counterproductive to improving publichealth,” Goldstein said. “Further, jeopardiz-ing highway funding in new areas throughimplementation of the EPA’s recommenda-
tions is self-defeating and would imposenew obstacles for needed transportationimprovements that can cut both harmfulemissions and billions of dollars in wastedmotor fuel caused by traffic congestion.”
Goldstein cited EPA’s own data showingthe transportation sector has significantlyreduced ozone levels over the past severaldecades — without tighter federal standards.The decline has occurred despite over-whelming growth in the U.S. economy, pop-ulation, vehicle miles traveled and energyconsumption, he noted.
Recently enacted regulations to reducesulfur levels in gasoline, and emissions inheavy-duty diesel engines, trucks and high-way vehicles will lead to even moreimprovements in air quality, Goldstein testi-fied. He called on CASAC to take notice ofsuch progress in reducing overall ozone lev-els before making new public policy deci-sions which would result in further regula-tion and delays to critically-needed trans-portation projects.

Alta Acquires Wolverine Tractor’s Assets, Key DistributorsAlta Equipment Company, a material-
handling solutions provider, has acquiredcertain assets of Wolverine Tractor andEquipment Company to become the author-ized Volvo Construction Equipment dealerfor Michigan. With this acquisition, Alta hasequipment suppliers in 12 locations inMichigan with more than 350 employees.
“We’ve captured much of the experiencethat was on staff at Wolverine,” said AltaConstruction Equipment Division PresidentRic Simon, who was executive president ofWolverine.. “With Alta Equipment, we havea rare opportunity to merge a significantresource in terms of construction industryexperience with a fresh new perspective onthe marketplace — truly a new start forVolvo Construction Equipment here inMichigan.”
“We are very eager to offer our expertisein fleet management and customer service tothe Michigan construction industry,” saidSteven Greenawalt, CEO of Alta EquipmentCompany. “We are proud to represent thesequality equipment manufacturers and arecommitted to supporting those products withexceptional after-market service.”
Alta management is confident that localcontractors will be enthusiastic about thisarrangement, as they become familiar with
the company and its approach toward busi-ness. According to Simon, “We have a pri-vately owned, Michigan-based companywith an outstanding track record of serviceexcellence — and those resources that are apart of the organization, in terms of facilities
and service capabilities, will provide out-standing benefits when combined with theproducts that we market and support.”
Alta currently employs approximately370 employees, with more than half beingservice technicians. The company has made
significant investments in developing itsinfrastructure. As the material handling mar-ket has declined, Alta management felt thetime was right to identify markets that wouldoffer synergistic opportunities with theindustrial market.
In addition, Alta has reached distributor-ship agreements with the manufacturers for-merly represented by Wolverine, includingGomaco, Link-Belt Cranes, Sennebogen,Mauldin and others. Alta’s new constructionequipment lines join a full line of industriallift trucks in addition to material-handlingand warehousing solutions.
This move into construction equipment ispart of a larger expansion in Alta’s productofferings and territory. Alta recently com-pleted a stock purchase of Mid-StateIndustrial Services Inc., a Hyster dealerbased in Eaton Rapids, Mich. In addition,Alta has acquired both the Aurora Lift busi-ness in Montgomery, Ill., and certain assetsof Chicago-based United Lift TruckServices. As a result of these acquisitions,Alta becomes the Hyster dealer for westernMichigan, parts of northern Indiana and thegreater Chicago area.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) Michigan’sinability to raise enough money to matchfederal transportation dollars forced thestate’s Transportation Commission Jan. 28 todelay hundreds of road and bridge projectsscheduled for the next five years.
The state stands to go from spendingroughly $1.4 billion on roads this year withthe help of federal stimulus money to around$600 million three out of the next four yearsif it fails to raise enough of its own money toqualify for more federal funds.
That means it no longer will be able toafford hundreds of road and bridge construc-tion projects it had included in its 2010-2014five-year plan. One-third of Michigan roadswere in poor condition in 2008, based on theMichigan Asset Management CouncilAnnual Report of Roads and Bridges.
Denise Jackson, the MichiganDepartment of Transportation’s statewideplanning administrator, said the delayedprojects will mean thousands of lost jobs inMichigan and fewer chances to fixMichigan’s crumbling roads and bridges.Bus and train travel could be affected, andthere will be less money to make rail cross-
ings safer and for airport improvements. “There’s challenging times ahead,” she
told the state Transportation Commission.“We’re really looking forward to some long-term funding solutions notonly at the state level, but at thefederal level.”
Michigan currently getsonly 92 cents back in federaltransportation dollars that itsends to Washington in federalfuel tax.
If the state gives up hun-dreds of millions of dollarsmore each year in federalmatching funds, “we go from92 cents to about 50 cents,”warned Mike Nystrom of theMichigan Infrastructure andTransportation Association,which wants more moneyspent on roads.
GOPstate Rep. Richard Ballof Laingsburg and DemocraticRep. Pam Byrnes of Chelseaintroduced a package of bills that wouldraise just enough money to meet Michigan’sfederal matching fund requirements over thenext five years — $240 million annually tostart, and $480 million when fully imple-
mented in 2013. If passed, the bills would raise the state
gasoline tax from 19 cents to 23 cents pergallon and the diesel tax from 15 cents to 21
cents per gallon starting March 1. Beginningin 2013, both the gasoline and diesel taxwould rise to 27 cents per gallon.
The bill sponsors realize it will be tough topass a fuel tax increase in an election year.
Attempts last year to pass either a diesel taxhike or to come up with other ways to raisemore money for roads went nowhere.
But the lawmakers point out the alterna-tive is to let hundreds of trans-portation projects fall by thewayside, increasing congestion,potholes and possibly accidents.
At some point, the state likelywill need to raise vehicle regis-tration fees so that all cars andtrucks — including electricvehicles and hybrids — pay forusing the roads, Nystrom said.
Although the state’s pooreconomy is one reason driversare buying less fuel that normal-ly would go for road improve-ments, the increase in vehiclesgetting better mileage hasplayed a role as well.
State officials hope Congresswill put a new funding formulain place that would send back agreater proportion of the fuel
taxes Michigan sends to Washington. ButMDOT director Kirk Steudle warned there’sno guarantee Michigan will get even 92cents back when a new federal transportationbill is passed.
The state stands to go from spending roughly $1.4 billion onroads this year with the help offederal stimulus money to around$600 million three out of the nextfour years.
KTAReplaces Bridges, Interchanges in $113.4M ProjectThe Neatest Thing
United Contractors began work on thefirst bridge in July 2008 just north of theexisting structures. United needed to placeconcrete for the support shafts under thebridge piers. To facilitate this, 7- to 8-ft. (2.1to 2.4 m) diameter, 60-ft. (18 m) deep steelcasings were vibrated into the sandy alluvialriver floor in a 30-minute vibration proce-dure. Concrete was then placed into the cas-ings.
“This may be a common practice else-where, but it is still the neatest thing I haveever seen,” Coltrane remarked.
Out With the OldOnce the new westbound bridge was
completed, traffic was diverted to it so thatthe old structures could be demolished.
Concrete decks on the old bridges wereremoved. Then, a series of controlled deto-nations between Nov. 15 and Jan. 13dropped the steel substructure into the river.Crawler cranes and cutting torches enteredthe picture and removed the steel for recy-cling.
Concrete and bituminous materials werealso recycled. According to DavidJacobson, KTA chief engineer, recycledbituminous and concrete pavement is usedfor both a bituminous base course and newaggregate base, respectively. Also, concreterubble from the old bridge decks wascrushed and the rubble was placed on somebridge berms for slope protection and ero-sion control.
Getting the Word OutKTA communicated extensively with the
public regarding replacement of the agingbridges, especially to the residents ofLawrence, Kan.
“We need to provide as much informationto our customers as possible so they canmake travel decisions and avoid delays orinconveniences that can occur with con-struction projects,” said Rachel Bell, KTAcommunications specialist.
Rex Fleming, KTA design and construc-tion engineer, agreed. He said that KTAexperimented with new ways of dispensinginformation, such as video drive throughs,where reporters drove over the road withvideo cameras, showing commuters some of
the improvements they could expect. It gavecommuters a visual of how the new trafficswitches would work.
“This is the first time I have been involvedin this type of activity and I believe there isdefinitely a benefit in allowing our cus-tomers to see what is happening before theyactually experience it,” said Fleming.
Replacement of Turnpike Interchanges
In addition to the bridges, the project alsoincludes the replacement of two turnpikeinterchanges. Entry and exit ramp loops forthe East and West Lawrence interchangeswill be replaced with standard diamond con-figuration, along with a single-lane round-about at the ramp termini.
The project calls for 634,300 cu. yd.(484,957 cu m) of fill and 309,300 cu. yd.(236,477 cu m) of excavation.
The new mainline pavement will be abituminous pavement with a 10-in. (25.4cm) aggregate base (AB-3). The mainlinepavement also will have both a 4-in. (10.2cm) base (BM-2) and 4-in. (10.2 cm) drain-able base (bound), along with an 8-in. (20.3cm) base (BM-2C) and a 2-in. (5 cm) surface
(BM-1KTA).The ramp pavement will include a bitumi-
nous surface with an 8-in. (20.3 cm) aggre-gate base (AB-3), a 4-in. (10.2 cm) and 6-in.(15.2 cm) bituminous base and a 1.5-in. (3.8cm) surface.
Pavement at the toll plazas and round-abouts will be 10-in. (25.4 cm) concretepavement, with a 4-in. (10.2 cm) bituminousbase (BM-2) and a 6-in. (15.2 cm) lime-treated sub-grade.
When the project is finished 290,000 tons(263,086 t) of bituminous pavement, 9,300sq. yd. (7,776 sq m) of concrete pavementwill have been used.
Other BridgesOutside of the two river bridges, 10 main-
line bridges will be constructed, along withthree interchange bridges and two side roadbridges that cross the turnpike.
The new bridges will have 24,200 cu. yd.(18,502 cu m) of concrete, 8,405 tons (7,625t) of structural steel and 38,114 linear ft.(11,617 m) of steel piling installed.

GOMACO Offers IDBI Attachment for Commander III GOMACO has taken the Commander III
four-track to the next level in concrete slip-form paving. The Commander III, usedaround the world for lane additions, shoul-ders and variable-width paving with the V2mold, now offers the new IDBI attachmentfor dowel bar insertion, according to themanufacturer.
The new IDBI attachment is an independ-ent unit providing dowel bar insertionbehind a paver. The Commander III four-track with IDBI attachment, set to inserttransverse joint dowel bars in pavements upto 16 ft. (4.88 m) wide, was on display forthe first time ever at World of Concrete 2009in Las Vegas, Nev.
The IDBI attachment is a new generationbar insertion system. The attachment is pow-ered by its own C4.4, Tier III, dieselCaterpillar engine with 91 hp (68 kW) at2300 rpm. No power or hydraulics is neededfrom the Commander III’s engine. In fact,once the IDBI attachment is bolted to theframework on the Commander III, the onlyconnection is the CAN cable for machineautomation.
The CAN cable connects the IDBI’s con-trols to the controller on the Commander IIIand allows the two systems to communicate.For example, when the Commander III stops
and starts, the tamper bar and screed on theIDBI turn on and off automatically in coor-dination with the paver.
GOMACO engineers have designed abar insertion concept and created anindependent attachment that is self-contained and self-powered. The newdesign features a new IDBI tray that isstronger, more compact and makeswidth changes easier. New adjustable-height bar extractors allow contrac-tors to quickly and easily changethe setup for different bar sizes forinsertion requirements, according tothe manufacturer.
The IDBI controls have all been designedin-house by GOMACO controls engineers.Its new GOMACO G+ control system fea-tures the same graphical display as the G22controller, with easy to learn and easy tounderstand controls.
The IDBI information is presented in fullcolor, commands are presented in full text,and it is able to operate in two languages, bycustomer’s choice. It offers the choice ofmetric or imperial measurements. The newIDBI control system also offers trou-bleshooting capabilities and other featuresthat will make start up and general pavingeach day faster and easier, according to the
manufac-turer.
The new inde-pendent IDBI attachment features its ownoutriggers to aid in attaching the unit to thepaver and also for loading and unloading theunit for transporting. The outriggers can behydraulically lowered and placed on theground to support the full weight of the IDBIas it is attached to or detached from thepaver. The outriggers on the attachment have48 in. (121.9 cm) of stroke and also are usedto raise the unit so a trailer can be backedunderneath for transport.
The four-track Commander III paver withIDBI attachment requires the new piston-style legs, which utilize a round inner tube
and a keyway for steering control. Thenew legs have more steering torque for
tighter turning capabilities and job-site maneuverability. The other
major change is the hydraulicallytelescoping leg pivots on the rear of the
paver. The telescoping pivots allow themachine to achieve sufficient length tomount the IDBI to the paver. It also allowsthe legs to be retracted to meet shippingrequirements or to pave without the IDBI.
The pivot feature allows maximum versa-tility in track placement to meet job-siterequirements. The Commander III four-track still has a shipping width of only 8.5 ft.(2.59 m).
The IDBI attachment will soon be avail-able for other GOMACO pavers.

Bergkamp’s M216 Designed for Large Preservation JobsBergkamp Inc., based in Salina, Kan.,
offers the M216 trailer-mounted slurry sealand micro surfacing paver, which is practicalfor highway and large preventive mainte-nance jobs. It provides increased materialcapacity over truck-mounted units, and isBergkamp’s largest self-contained slurryseal and micro surfacing paver. The M216offers improved maneuverability when usedwith a short-wheelbase truck, and allowscontractors to achieve higher truck utiliza-tion — since the truck can be used for otherapplications in the offseason, according tothe manufacturer.
Slurry seal and micro surfacing is a mix-ture of aggregate, asphalt emulsion, waterand additives that is applied over existing
pavement as one smooth layer — which canextend the life of pavement by up to seven ormore years. The M216 can carry 16 cu. yd.(12.2 cu m) of aggregate, 1,500 gal. (5,678L) of asphalt emulsionand 1,000 gal. (3,780 L)of water. The water tankis located at the front ofthe trailer to provide bet-ter weight distributionand handling. It also hasa 55-gal. (200-L) stain-less steal additive tank.
The pugmill, convey-or and all liquid materialtanks are removable. Alltanks are bolted in rather
than welded, adding extra durability andeasy maintenance. The asphalt emulsion andwater tanks are separate components, elimi-nating rust-through and cross-contamination
of products. The M216 is run by
an onboard engine. Itprovides flexibility tobetter manage legal loadweight restrictions byadding up to three tagaxles, including onebehind the drive axle —which increases thewheelbase and helpsmeet the Federal bridgelaw.
Aggregate is delivered to the pugmill by abelt-over-chain conveyor that eliminatesslippage. Steep hopper walls minimizebridging problems, while the hopper’s poly-ethylene lining reduces friction. This elimi-nates the need for a vibrator, which decreas-es problems with loose bolts and damage towelds and components.
The water, asphalt emulsion and additivesratios are regulated as they are pumped intothe pugmill, where they are mixed with theaggregate. The variable-speed, dual-shaft,multi-paddle pugmill has a dual hydraulicdrive, which provides even mixture andmaterial flow.

Hamm HD+ Asphalt Rollers Feature Pivoting Seat, ConsoleThe HD+ 120 and HD+ 140 rollers — the
first of the HD+ Series of tandem asphaltrollers from Hamm Compaction — are artic-ulated tandem rollers, with respective oper-ating weights of 13.8 and 14.5 tons (12.5 and13 t), and respective drum widths of 78 and84 in. (198 and 213 cm).
The HD+ 120 and HD+ 140 rollersreplace the existing HD 120 and HD 130rollers in the Hamm lineup.
Each size compactor will be available inthree models: the HD+ 120 or 140 VV, withconventional vibration in both drums; theHD+ 120 or 140 VO, with vibration in thefront and exclusive Oscillation compactionin the rear; and the HD+ 120 or 140 VV HF,offering high-frequency vibration to 4,020vpm. Frequency and amplitude can now becontrolled independently on either drum,providing increased flexibility in the rolltrain.
“This machine has been developed overthe last four years specifically to meet thecriteria of the North American contractor,”said Richard Evans, vice president-sales,Hamm Compaction Division of WirtgenAmerica Inc. “They are available as conven-tional vibratory machines and, of course,exclusive Hamm Oscillation compaction isavailable on either model. A third option is a
high frequency HD+ machine that features4,020 vpm.”
Unlike some machines, which requirephysical movement of weights on the side ofeach drum to change amplitude, amplitudeand frequency adjustment on the HD+ mod-els can be done by the operator on the dash-
board. New on the HD+ models is the ability to
pivot both the seat and the console across thefull width of the big HD+ platform, for muchbetter control and visibility, particularly tothe drum edges. Operator comfort isenhanced with cup holders and lunch box
tray.“In addition, if you are a big guy, the steer-
ing column tilts up out of the way when youare climbing in or out of the seat,” Evanssaid. “Also, the drive levers are wide, so youhave plenty of room for your legs.”
Also unique is the HD+ Series’ offsetcapability, which is close to 7 in. (17.7 cm).
“We can roll around a curb with the frontdrum without risking damage by the reardrum and now, with the extra 3-inch offsetover the older model, we now have enoughoffset for a good roller operator to pinch ajoint,” Evans said.
That means an operator can keep the frontdrum on the hot material and offset the reardrum so it can bridge between the pre-com-pacted hot material and the cold joint, poten-tially saving a pass for higher productivity,and avoiding travel in the other lane of traf-fic, for enhanced safety.
New drum edge lights are now standardon the Hamm HD+ Series. Halogen lightsmounted on the ROPS are available either ina four-light or six-light configuration. Axenon light option on the ROPS for thosemarkets with this requirement also is avail-able for use where it’s specified.
For more information, call 615/501-0600or visit www.wirtgenamerica.com.
The HD+ 120 and HD+ 140 rollers are articulated tandem rollers, with respectiveoperating weights of 13.8 and 14.5 tons (12.5 and 13 t), and respective drum widthsof 78 and 84 in. (198 and 213 cm).
Terex PR330 Multipurpose Mill Features Wide Wheel StanceThe Terex PR330 utility mill from Terex
Roadbuilding features a wide 18 ft. 4 in. (5.6m) wheel stance and a low center of gravityfor sure-footed operation in the field. The16-in. (40.6 cm) wide tracks of the PR330Tdeliver sturdier operation and better tractionthan other units with 9-in. (22.9 cm) widetracks, according to the manufacturers.
A double parallelogram rear suspensiondesign keeps the tracks level to the grade andevenly distributes the weight when operatingon uneven terrain, further enhancingmachine stability.
The PR330 cold planer features a numberof options, so it can be configured to matcha wide variety of applications. It is availablewith either a four track (PR330T) or fourwheel (PR330W) drive system to fit theneeds of the contractor. The available multi-width cutter offers milling widths of 24, 36and 48 in. (61, 91 and 122 cm) to maximizemachine utilization. The cutter’s clamp-shellconnector design offers fast and simplewidth changes in about one hour.
With four steering modes, the PR330offers a tight turning radius for enhancedmaneuverability when cutting aroundobstructions. The operator can choosebetween front only, rear only, front and rearcrab or coordinated front and rear (cramp)
steering, enabling the machine to deliver aninside radius as small as 9 ft. 8 in. (2.9 m).When milling cul-de-sacs, this multipurposemachine delivers a small 14 ft. (4.3 m) right-hand or 19 ft. (5.8 m) left-hand turningradius while keeping the rear track inside thecut.
The PR330 features a “center mount” cut-ter design that positions the full weight of themachine over the rotor, enhancing perform-ance even in the toughest cuts. The subframeparallelogram design delivers a 24-in. eleva-tion to lower and raise the cutter in and outof the cut.
The planer’s standard 40-in. (101.6 cm)diameter drum cuts a 48-in. wide path atdepths reaching 12 in. (30.5 cm) for millingand stabilization patchwork. The drum’s 0.5-in. (1.3 cm) bullet tooth spacing leaves asmoother surface for motorists than moststandard half- and full-lane machines. Thecutter’s efficient hydrostatic drive features abuilt-in relief system, which protects criticaldrive components from severe damageshould the cutter hit an obstruction.
The machine features a water system witha high mist type nozzle for cooling of cutterteeth and dust control. Under typical operat-ing conditions, the PR330’s 375 gal (1400 L)water tank delivers uninterrupted service forup to 3.5 hours.
The Terex PR330 cold planer is poweredby a Tier III and Stage IIIA compliant, 330hp (245 kW) diesel engine. Similar to largercold planers in the Terex Roadbuilding line,this multipurpose milling machine includesa standard two-stage conveyor system. Bothhydraulically variable, two speed conveyorsfeature a 24 in. width, while the second stageconveyor swings 55 degree to the left and 35degree to the right of center for efficienttruck loading.

Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS MakingImpact With Asphalt Pavers
BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track padshave been making an impact on asphaltmilling machine users, but the trend is nowcatching on with asphalt paving machineusers. These bolt-on pads can save up to 40percent on replacement orders by reusingthe steel triple grousers andup to 50 percent in labortime when replacing thepads compared to a standardbonded track pad, accordingto the manufacturer.
David Dunn of CaldwellPaving, in Charleston, Tenn.,purchased BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads forhis Leeboy 8816 asphaltpaver in early July 2008.Since then, Dunn told BLSthat the machine has beenrunning every day and hasbeen working great.
“With the rubber pads,” Dunn said, “thetrack would often spin, leading to quickerwear.”
“It would have been so much nicer if themachine came set up with PBO grousers so
we didn’t have to buy them the first time wechanged pads,” Dunn said, referring to thefact that with the BLS Poly Bolt-On sys-tem, users do not have to replace the steeltriple grouser when replacing the track pad.This can save contractors 30 to 40 percent
in replacement costs and save in shippingcost by not having to ship the steel triplegrouser shoes after the first purchase,according to BLS.

Roadtec’s Shuttle Buggy MTVNow Features Hydraulic Drive
Roadtec announced thechangeover from axles andgears to hydraulic motorsthat control each wheel ofthe Roadtec Shuttle BuggyMaterial Transfer Vehicle(MTV), making themachine easier to shift andoperate.
The hydraulic system andmotors are easier to work onthan the traditional axlearrangement and there willbe less wear associated withthe hydraulics, making thesystem more durable. Thereliability and life span of the Shuttle BuggyMTV’s transmission also will benefit fromthe new hydraulic system, according to themanufacturer.
The Shuttle Buggy MTV remixes segre-gated asphalt mix and loads it into the paver.Remixing in the Shuttle Buggy MTV fromRoadtec helps eliminate temperature andmaterial segregation in the mix just before itis loaded into the paver. According toWAASHTO study T9903, a temperature dif-
ferential of 7C or less assures the possibilityof even compaction to specified density.Numerous infrared tests made in real-lifeworking conditions have proven the ShuttleBuggy MTV able to consistently deliver mixwith a temperature differential of 7C or less.According to the WAASHTO study, roadsbuilt with these extremely low temperaturedifferentials require far less maintenance,and can last twice as long as roads built withtemperature-segregated mix.
The Shuttle Buggy MTV is now controlled by hydraulicmotors rather than axles and gears.
LeeBoy 9000 Paver Boasts Maneuverable Rubber Tire DesignVT LeeBoy Inc. is now offering
contractors the 9000 Series asphaltpaver, a 34,000-lb. (15,422 kg) paverfeaturing a maneuverable, rubber tiredesign and an 8-ft. (2.4 m) electrically-heated screed system.
This high production rubber tireasphalt paver is powered by a 173-hp(129 kW) Cat Tier III diesel engine,which provides the power to pushlarger tandem axle trucks. The engineis transversely mounted, which allowsfor better ground level access andcooling efficiency. A fume ventilationsystem vents asphalt vapors awayfrom the operator and screed area. Aneasily raised hood covers the low pro-file engine and side grating is easilyremoved to provide access to theengine compartment.
The LeeBoy 9000 operator stationsare designed for maximum comfortand ease of operation, according to themanufacturer. It includes dual hydraulicslide-out operator stations to enhance foreand aft visibility with fully equipped con-soles that incorporate CAN Bus systemdesign and digital gauges for monitoringpaver functions and diagnostics. Paversteering is by Plus 1 control architecture
with touch pads.The 9000 rubber tired paver provides
added maneuverability, ground speed, ridequality and traction. The tire system is com-prised of two large heavy-duty low pressurerear 19 by 29.5 in. (48 by 75 cm) drive tires.The 12 by 22 in. (30.5 by 56 cm) solid rub-ber front tandem steering bogie wheelsoscillate to improve mat quality by overrid-
ing roadbed irregularities.The material handling system on a 9000
paver begins with an 11-ton (10 t) receivinghopper with heavy-duty, hydraulic radiushopper wings and high strength plasticflashing to prevent material spillage. Dual18 in. (46 cm) heavy-duty slat bar and rollerchain conveyors feed the 16 in. (40.6 cm)diameter hardened cast steel augers that
push asphalt to the screed. The augerassembly can be hydraulically raisedand lowered, which is helpful in theloading and unloading process.Standard sonic feed sensors control theaugers. The operator has independentleft and right control of the conveyorsystem and material flow gates.Manual tunnel extensions are availableto keep mix away from the drive tire.
The 9000 paver has a heavy-dutyelectrically heated and vibratingLegend Screed System that extendshydraulically from 8- to 15.5-ft. (2.4 to4.7 m). An onboard 20 Kw generatorelectrically heats the main screed andthe front-mounted extensions.LeeBoy’s heat element replacementsystem makes replacing heating com-ponents easy.

Total VisibilityCompaction is high-precision work, and the experienced operator knows exactly what a perfect job looks like. That is why visibility is one of Dynapac’s primary design characteristics. Dynapac’s unique design gives a perfect view of drum edges, surfaces and sprinkler nozzles. Even the largest model lets the operator see an object of 3 feet in height, at a distance of only 3 feet – an important safety feature.
These are only a few of the ways Dynapac helps you keep an eye on quality.

Komatsu America Corp.’sCD110R-2 crawler carrier has360-degree rotation for loadingand dumping in any direction. TheCD110R-2 is an upgraded versionof the original full-rotationcrawler carrier with increaseddrawbar pull and an improvedoperator’s compartment, makingit ideal for utility, forestry, con-struction and landscape applica-tions.
The CD110R-2’s 360-degreerotation provides dumping at anyangle, eliminating the need for U-turns and requiring no space fordirectional change. Further, con-trols are designed so that the oper-ator does not need to constantlyswitch from forward to reverseoperations, resulting in increasedproductivity, improved safety andmachine durability.
The reduced steering increasesthe machines’ reliability by put-ting less wear on the tracks, whichextends the life of the undercar-riage. The full-rotation capabilityalso means the operator canalways execute machine actions ina forward-facing position, leading to enhanced speed ofoperation without sacrificing comfort, according to the man-ufacturer.
Power and Performancein Adverse Conditions
The crawler carrier is designed to work in adverse condi-tions where articulated trucks cannot, while providing a highlevel of productivity. The CD110R-2’s low ground pressureof 3.6 psi (unloaded) allows the machine to access work inenvironmentally sensitive areas such as forest managementoperations, or in deep mud situations that are inaccessible orcounterproductive to traditional machines. It’s ideal for oper-ating in HAZMAT applications because its low ground pres-sure reduces airborne particles.
The 34,390 lb. (15,599 kg) crawler carrier has a payloadof 12 tons (11 t) and is equipped with a 255 hp (190 kW)Komatsu SAA6D114E-2 engine. The crawler carrier’s 27 in.(68.5 cm) ground clearance allows work in adverse condi-tions and provides smooth operations. The bogie type under-carriage provides added traction and its reinforced, wide rub-ber track of 31.5 in. (80 cm) produces enhanced floatationand good stability when traveling, according to the manu-facturer.
nents. Rotation and control functions offer added perform-ance with reliability. A joystick lever controls the rotation ofthe upperstructure. The lever, switch panel and the seat areall connected and can slide 6.3 in. (16 cm) forward and back-ward.
Additional operator friendly and performance driven con-trol features include:
• Two independent light-touch levers for travel control —Using proportional pressure control (PPC) technology foundon Komatsu’s dozers, the travel control levers featuresmooth, “light-touch” operation for providing engine powerto the tracks in direct proportion to control-lever movementas well as independent control of each track.
• Foot pedal operation for easy dumping — Dumping iscontrolled by a foot pedal allowing effective, well-balanceduse of both hands and feet.
• High/low transmission — In cases of a heavy load dur-ing high-speed travel, the transmission automatically shiftsdown to low-speed range, providing optimum driving force.
Advanced Operator Comfort and Safety Features
The CD110R offers improved operator features.Ventilation and air conditioning are standard equipmentwhile amenities include a wide front windshield for addedvisibility, a soundproof cab and low-effort controls. In addi-tion, the machine features a parking brake that automaticallyengages when machine operations start. Also standard on theCD110R-2 is a safety lock lever that blocks the functions ofthe upperstructure rotation, dumping and traveling opera-tions levers.
Additionally, the reverse travel indication lamp will turnon when the upperstructure rotates more than 90 degrees towarn of the reverse shift of the traveling control lever. Thecenter indication lamp will turn on when the upperstructureand the tracks are parallel, simultaneously activating a flash-ing light to alert workers around the machine.

Terex AWP Sells GeneratorProduct Line to Cummins
The Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP)segment of Terex Corporation announcedJan. 26 that it has exited the generator busi-ness as part of an overall strategic plan tofocus on its core aerial equipment business.As a result, Terex AWP has sold the Terexgenerator product line to Cummins PowerGeneration for an undisclosed amount.
“At this point in time, it makes sense forTerex AWP to focus on our core products,such as Genie aerial lifts, telehandlers andlight towers,” said Brad Allen, global gener-al manager of scissors, portables and lighttowers, Terex AWP.
“The Terex line of generators offersCummins an opportunity to vertically inte-grate and manufacture the same high-qualitygenerators Terex has been private labeling
for them during the past several years.” Terex models are among the industry’s
most heavy-duty generators, offering a rangeof power capacities from 30 to 360 KVA.Features include enough capacity to carry 24hours of fuel on board, a heavy-duty trailerand consistent, accurate voltage regulation,according to the manufacturer.
Warranty support for Cummins brandedunits will begin immediately. Warranty sup-port for Terex branded units will continue tothe end of 2010. Parts support will be sup-plied by Terex AWP for 180 days from dateof sale, at which point Cummins will assumeparts support ownership.

Hyundai Construction EquipmentAnnounces Americas Expansion
For the past 15 years HyundaiConstruction Equipment U.S.A. Inc hasbeen marketing Hyundai construction equip-ment and forklifts through its dealer networksolely in North America. In an effort to tailoroperations to meet today’s market needsHyundai Construction Equipment U.S.A.Inc. (HCEUSA) and parent companyHyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) in SouthKorea have decided to expand theHCEUSA’s operational reach to cover all ofNorth, Central and South America.
Under this new business arrangementeffective Jan. 1, 2010, HCEUSA will beresponsible for all the sales, service and partsbusiness in Central and South America inboth construction equipment (CE) and fork-lift (FL). HCEUSA will be adding the cur-rent Central and South American dealer net-work and its many opportunities for expan-sion to its already expansive network of CEand FL dealers in North America. HyundaiConstruction Equipment U.S.A. Inc. willcontinue its current business model of mar-keting, selling and servicing its construction
equipment and forklifts through its dealernetwork and providing additional sales, serv-ice and parts support through the homeoffice in Elk Grove Village, Ill.
“With the current market conditionsbeing what they are we’ve had to look at allaspects of our business. We feel that by con-solidating the resources we have here and inKorea under one roof covering all of theAmericas we can provide our dealers andultimately our customers with the highestlevel of quality and support possible. It’simportant to us that when our customersthink of product quality and support thatthey think of Hyundai,” said John Lim,president of Hyundai ConstructionEquipment U.S.A. Inc.
A corporate name change for HyundaiConstruction Equipment U.S.A. Inc. toreflect its operational expansion covering allof the Americas is anticipated; though notimeline for that change has beenannounced.

Cat Coupler Features OverCenter Locking Technology
The new Caterpillar center-lock pin-grab-ber coupler for Cat hydraulic excavatormodels 311 through 385 uses an over-centerlocking mechanism and two hydraulic lock-ing features to ensure positive work-toolattachment. The new over-center lockingtechnology promotes job site safety andallows operators to quickly, simply and con-fidently engage and disengage work toolsregardless of boom and stick position. Thecenter-lock coupler accommodates the samerange of Cat work tools as previous pin-grabber couplers, as well as a broad range ofother brands of buckets and tools.
When the operator uses an in-cab switchto engage the center-lock coupler with awork tool, the coupler’s robust cylinderextends to close the primary hook around thetool’s rear pin. As the cylinder rod continuesto close around the rear pin, the cylinderhousing adjusts its position and forces acombination of three attached parts — cen-ter-lock rocker, connector link and second-ary lock — to snap into an over-center posi-tion (much like closing the handles of lock-ing pliers). This action forces the secondarylock to grip the forward pin.
Once the coupler locks, the mechanicalprinciples involved in its over-center lockingtechnology ensure that any working forcesapplied to the pins will serve only to increasethe coupler’s grip. Constant hydraulic forceexerted by the cylinder and the action of acounterbalance valve provide additional
locking forces, supplementing that of themechanical lock.
The center-lock coupler remains positive-ly closed until the operator takes the deliber-ate actions of activating the in-cab switchand extending the bucket cylinder. For theoperator’s convenience and for job site safe-ty, the secondary lock is distinctly visiblefrom the cab and provides an unmistakableindicator of the coupler’s status — whetherlocked or unlocked.
Because the new center-lock couplereliminates the blocking bar and spring packrequired with conventional pin-grabberdesigns, the operator no longer needs tocompletely curl the boom and stick (thusinverting the coupler) when engaging a worktool. The center-lock design requires onlythat the bucket cylinder be extended to acti-vate locking and unlocking functions, andthis action is independent of boom and stickposition. The resulting advantage is that theoperator can engage and disengage toolswith the boom and stick at full extension, avaluable feature when changing tools in low-overhead situations, such as near powerlines.
Maintaining the new center-lock couplerrequires only daily greasing, and to promotetrouble-free operation, a new jumper-linerouting helps avoid pinching or snagging onjob site hazards.

The center-lock cou-pler accommodatesthe same range ofCat work tools asprevious pin-grabbercouplers, as well asa broad range ofother brands ofbuckets and tools.

Fundamental Fixes Equal Less Spending, Longer Tool LifeToday’s economic realities now demand
using every trick of the trade in order tomake equipment last longer while squeezingevery excess expense – including constantlypurchasing new tools – out of the balancesheet.
Jerry R. Fifer, technical support managersoutheast of Tramac said maintenance gaffesthat cost companies both in tool wear andbig money for replacements come down tofour basics:
• All grease is the same, right? The Fault: Breaker tools or points
become extremely hot (as high as 400 F ormore) when in use. At those temperatures,standard lube grease will liquefy and run offthe tool or actually burn up entirely, leavinga shorter lifespan for tools’bushings and bro-ken tools.
The Fix: Good grease. Breaker greaseshould be, at minimum, No. 2 lithium-basedgrease containing 3 percent molybdenum. Itshould be rated to work at temperatures of atleast 500 F or more). Why is the molybde-num a “must have”? It helps the grease stickto the tool and not run off.
• Where do I grease it? The Fault: Failing to put enough grease
on and applying it in the wrong way can bejust as bad as using low-quality product.
The Fix: Start with a quick examination.When the breaker is raised vertically off theground, the tool will drop down and exposethe portion that is in contact with the lowertool bushing. The condition of this exposedportion is indicative of the condition of theupper, unexposed sections. The exposed por-tion should be thoroughly covered withgrease.
But how to apply it? Use an automaticgreaser (if available) and set it to applygrease only when the breaker is operating. Ifthe automatic greaser runs while the breakertool has dropped down (see above) greasewill be deposited on the top of the tool. Thenthe next time the breaker is used the grease(now trapped between the top of the breakertool and the bottom of the strike piston) willbe forced through the lower piston seals anddamage them. If applying lubricant manual-ly, the tool must be pushed upward into thebreaker before greasing. This is easy to do by
lowering the breaker vertically and pressingthe tool against the ground.
The bottom line: using the proper amountof high-quality grease and putting it on in theright way greatly reduces the friction wearon the tool and tool bushings.
• When is it time to inspect?The Fault: Tool tops not checked regu-
larly lead to more damage overall.The Fix: The top of the tool takes a
tremendous beating from the strike piston.Eventually, the tool top’s surface will mush-room just like the top of a mechanic’s coldchisel or punch. It is important that themushrooming areas be filed off before theybecome so large that they break off. Brokenpieces of the tool can get trapped betweenthe tool and the strike piston, resulting in pis-ton damage. Also be sure to check for dam-age on the areas of the tool that strike the toolretainers. Any mushrooming or other faultsmust be filed off at regularly.
An important reminder: different types ofbreaker applications will result in more orless tool damage. Inspect and service the toolonce a week until experience teaches you
how long your service intervals can be.• When do I replace the bushings? The Fault: Wear limits on bushings are
routinely misjudged, resulting in pistondamage and shortened lifespan on otherparts.
The Fix: All breaker tool bushings have aspecified inner diameter wear limit. Whenthis limit is reached, most bushings appear tohave plenty of material left to wear off andare usually not replaced as recommended.But the key is to remember that the wearlimit is not based on how much material isleft but on the possible angle of engagementbetween the tool and strike piston. The lowerbushing will be the first to wear out. If it isallowed to wear past the limit, the tool can beat such an angle to the piston that the pistononly hits the tool on the edge of the strikesurface. Continuing to operate the breaker inthis way will damage the strike piston. Inaddition, wear on the upper bushing is accel-erated when the lower bushing is worn out.The lifespan of the upper bushing can beextended by replacing the lower bushingwhen the wear limit is reached.
Leading Edge Unveils New High Penetration BucketLeading Edge
Attachments Inc. nowoffers the “STAG” buck-et, which is a new style,high penetration bucketutilizing the “staggeredtooth” technology, and isdesigned for excavatorsallowing the operator toeasily dig compactedsoils, coral, shale, caliche,stratified materials, shotrock or frozen groundwith higher concentratedbreakout force for a pricethat is lower than the com-pany’s Multi-Ripperbucket.
The STAG bucketdesign allows the operatorto focus the excavator’sfull breakout force on onetooth at a time because thefront leading edge is angled. Creating flat trench bottoms iseasy with this new bucket also because the teeth are on thesame plane, similar to a conventional bucket, according tothe manufacturer.
Conventional buckets have the teeth mounted on an edgethat so that all of the teeth engage the material at the sametime thus sharing the load and decreasing the tooth breakout
force. The LEA STAG bucket creates high penetration dueto the fact that one tooth is engaging at a time. The operatorangles the bucket in tough digging conditions allowing theforces to be transmitted to fewer teeth, thus saving energyand increasing performance, while still being able to shavethe bottom of a trench flat similar to a conventional bucket.
The new STAG bucket is manufactured in the USA using
T1 alloy steel and the powerful MTG KingMet teeth, and isavailable to fit on any excavator from 22,000 to 200,000 lbs.(9,979 to 90,718 kg).
The Multi-Ripper Teeth also are available for some mod-els, to provide even more penetration.

Excavator Mounted DrillEliminates Hard Soil Delays
Mabey Bridge & Shore Inc.’s excavatormounted drill (EMD), manufactured in theUnited Kingdom by Dawson ConstructionPlant Ltd., is one of only a handful currentlyavailable along the East Coast.
The EMD’s auger, churning at nearly 160rpm, facilitates the installation of sheet pilingand other shoring equipment by looseningtough soils to permit excavation. Test runs inthe coquina of Northern Florida proved suc-cessful when the machine utilized all 15,000lb. ft. of torque to carve through the hardground and permit sheet pile installationswhere it otherwise would have taken days todig without it, according to the manufactur-er.
The EMD itself mounts to standard exca-vators and is powered by the hydraulic flowand return lines that would ordinarily supplythe excavator’s bucket. Augers of varyingsize attach quickly to the machine via a hexadapter and once fully powered, the EMD iscapable of drilling and loosening the most
cohesive soils — from clay to hardpan andmore.
The excavator mounted drill is availablenow from Mabey depots throughout the EastCoast.
For 20 years, Mabey Bridge & Shore Inc.has carried a broad range of products avail-able for bridges, excavation shoring, struc-tural shoring and temporary roadways.Mabey products are available for sale or rentworldwide, and its prefabricated bridges arefor temporary, permanent or emergency use.

Komatsu America Corp. has introduced the hybridPC200LC-8 excavator into the North American market.
Komatsu’s goal is to meet increasing global environmen-tal concerns through the development of equipmentdesigned to reduce environmental impact, including CO2reduction. By developing a successful hybrid excavator inthe largest construction machine segment (20 to 22 ton),Komatsu’s green technology will have a substantial impacton saving fuel and reducing green house emissions.
“Komatsu’s decision to apply its engineering excellenceto the largest construction machine segment, clearly signalsour commitment to developing environment-friendly
equipment,” said Dave Grzelak, CEO and chairman ofKomatsu America Corp. “Since the company’s inception,Komatsu has been setting the global standard for technolo-gy and engineering excellence and today that tradition con-tinues with the introduction of the Hybrid PC200LC-8excavator.”
Powered by the Komatsu Hybrid System, the hybridPC200LC-8 uses a newly developed electric swing motor,power generator motor, capacitor and diesel engine.Komatsu developed its hybrid system to work on the prin-ciple of swing energy regeneration and energy storageusing the Komatsu ultra capacitor system. Komatsu’s ultra
capacitors provide fast energy storage and instantaneouspower transmission.
The kinetic energy generated during the swing brakingphase is converted to electricity, which is sent through aninverter and then captured by the ultra capacitor. This cap-tured energy is then discharged very quickly for upperstructure rotation and to assist the engine as commanded bythe hybrid controller when accelerating under work loadconditions.
In tests comparing the standard PC200LC-8 hydraulicexcavator to the hybrid PC200LC-8, the hybrid modelreduced fuel consumption by approximately 25 to 40 percent,depending on the application, according to the manufacturer.
The SpecsThe hybrid PC200LC-8 is powered by the powerful, tur-
bocharged and air-to-air after-cooled KomatsuSAA4D107E-1 which provides 138 hp (103 kW). With anoperating weight of 43,643 to 47,260 lbs. (19,796 to 21,437kg), the hybrid PC200LC-8 has a bucket capacity of 0.66 to1.57 cu. yds. (.5 to 1.2 cu m). The hybrid PC200LC-8 has thesame vigorous working forces and performance levels of theconventional PC200LC-8.
The cab design assures operator comfort because the vis-cous cab damper mounts reduce vibration. A7 in. LCD mon-itor provides easy-to-read gauges and onboard diagnostics aswell as displaying the rear-view monitoring system for view-ing the work area to rear of the machine.
KOMTRAX on BoardThe hybrid PC200LC-8 also is equipped with the latest
KOMTRAX technology, which sends machine operatinginformation to a secure Web site utilizing wireless technolo-gy. Data such as operating hours, fuel consumption, machinelocation and machine utilization are relayed to the web appli-cation for analysis. The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring sys-tem increases machine availability, reduces the risk ofmachine theft and provides a wealth of other information todrive business efficiency.
The hybrid PC200LC-8 excavator was introduced to theJapanese market in June 2008 and has been successful inreducing fuel consumption. In addition, Komatsu introducedthe hybrid to the Chinese market in August this year.

Cat 314D CR, 314D LCR Excavators Sport C4.2 EnginesThe new Cat 314D CR
and 314D LCR (long under-carriage) hydraulic excava-tors are compact-radiusmodels that build on the val-ued attributes of their C-Series predecessors with anew fuel-efficient Cat C4.2ACERT engine, morehydraulic power, expandedwork-tool versatility, a spa-cious new operator stationand a new intermediate-length stick. These new 90-hp (67 kW), 15.4 ton (14-t)machines have the featuresto cut operating costs, boostproduction, increasemachine potential and tokeep operators comfortableand confident, according tothe manufacturer.
The compact design ofthe 314D CR/LCR limits tailswing over the side to 7 in.(17.8 cm), when using 24-in.(60 cm) shoes and standardcounterweight. An optional1,170-lb. (530 kg) counter-weight, which enhances dig-ging and lifting perform-ance, adds only 2 in. (5.1cm) more. In addition, theposition of the boom, nearthe center of the machine,reduces front swing radius.Operators work with lessdistraction, a plus for job sitesafety.
The new operator station,with standard air condition-ing, borrows its basic designfrom larger Caterpillar cabsused on standard-tail-swingmodels. Controls in the spaciousnew cab feature a system that auto-matically selects boom or swingpriority, based on joystick move-ment, thus eliminating work modeand power boost switches.Automatic climate control, loweffort levers and a fully adjustableseat (or available heated, air-sus-pension seat) keep operators atease. A new in-cab monitor com-municates in text, not codes, anddoes so in 28 languages.
Increased hydraulic pressureyields higher breakout forces,greater lifting capacity and moredrawbar pull. In addition, threenew auxiliary hydraulic controlpackages are available, allowingcustomers to tailor auxiliary sys-tem functions to specific work tool
applications. To simplify auxiliarycircuit installation, all requiredhydraulic and electrical lines arefactory routed to the boom foot,and mounting blocks are in place.
Engine Economy andHydraulic Refinement
The new C4.2 engine complieswith U.S. EPA Tier III and EUStage 3A emissions regulationsand offers significant potential forfuel savings. Caterpillar estimatedfuel consumption for the new314D CR/LCR models, workingin typical applications, to be 5 per-cent less (compared with C-Seriesmodels), and as much as 10 per-cent less when performing light-duty applications in economymode (selected via the in-cab mon-
itor). Electronically controlledregeneration circuits save energyand fuel during boom-down andstick-in operations.
Hydraulic refinement for thenew models includes the new Cattool control system, which canstore flow and pressure settings foras many as 10 work tools, thusmaking tool changes quick andefficient. A shortcut key on theconsole permits the operator toselect a tool, and then the systemautomatically resets pressure, flowand flow direction.
Working Efficiencyand Control
The new intermediate length(9.17-ft./ 2.8-m) stick, which com-plements 8.17-ft. (2.5-m) and 9.83-
ft. (3.0-m) versions, providesadded opportunity for customers tomatch machine capability moreclosely to typical applications. Thenew stick also works well with theCaterpillar hydraulic pin grabbercoupler to handle a broad range ofwork tools.
An optional control patternchanger is set electronically via thein-cab monitor, and an optionalfine swing control precisely modu-lates machine rotation — a usefulfeature when operators must dig orlift frequently in confined spaces.
Safety, Security and Service
If the job site requires a fallingobject guard or windshield screen,these attachments bolt directly and
easily to the cab. An optionalmachine security system uses anelectronically coded key to detertheft and vandalism, or to limitmachine use to specific individualsand specific times.
Prior to starting the machine, thein-cab monitor checks critical fluidlevels. Service interval remindersare programmable, and an optionalelectronic sensor measures watervolume in fuel separators.Sampling ports for hydraulic fluid,engine oil and coolant allow quickcollection of reliable samples.Grease lubricated track chainsextend pin and bushing life asmuch as 25 percent, comparedwith dry assemblies.

The compact design of the 314D CR/LCR limits tail swing over the side to 7 in. (17.8 cm), when using 24-in. (60 cm) shoes and standard coun-terweight. An optional 1,170-lb. (530 kg) counterweight, which enhances digging and lifting performance, adds only 2 in. (5.1 cm) more.

There’s a new “kid“ on the block—Hy-Ram® HR Series. It’s an all-new hammer line from Allied Construction Products, LLC. This new hammer line comes from a long line of hard-hitting Allied “relatives” (a previous generation of Hy-Rams) and is ready to take on the most challenging jobs.
Hy-Ram has a “street tough” temperament as it takes on and demolishes all “comers” like concrete structures, trench rock, building foundations, pave-ment and bridge decks. Hy-Ram has “streetwise” attributes like an oil and gas operation that
increases efficiency, a longer piston stroke for higher impact power and an auto-stop system to prevent “blank-firing.”
Put the new “kid” on the block on your job. It’s got a great family background. It’s “street tough,”but operator-friendly. It’s available in twelve (12) different models. And, it can take on just about any concrete demolition or rock jobs that you encounter.
For more information on the Hy-Ram HR Series, call 1-800-321-1046. Hy-Ram hits the streets running.
Introducing the new Bobcat® M-Series excavators, which put operators and owners in charge of labor-saving, profit-producing features that take performance to the next level. See your local Bobcat dealer to learn how these new compact excavators can M-Power you to do more.

Proposed 13 High-Speed RailCorridors May Cost $60 Billion
A proposed $500 billion, six-year federaltransportation reauthorization bill includes$50 billion for high-speed rail. But that gen-erous sum was included before Obamabegan talking about cutting spending, and itseems unlikely to win approval in its currentform.
Even if it came through, that money hard-ly covers the proposed price tag of the 13high-speed rail corridors, which are estimat-ed to cost at least $60 billion and possiblymore than $100 billion over the next decadeor two. Those cost estimates also don’tinclude the hundreds of million of dollars itcould cost each year to operate the networks— costs that states typically pick up.
It also might be hard for states that aregrappling with huge budget shortfalls to jus-tify spending more on high-speed rail whileeducation and health care are on the chop-ping blocks, Pattison said.
Illinois, Florida, California have by far themost to win if the money does keep flowing— and the most to lose if it doesn’t. Thosethree states were given the bulk of the feder-al stimulus money.
Chicago would become the hub of aneight-state network, which, in all, won athird of the $8 billion in stimulus money.
Florida is getting $1.25 billion for a newhigh-speed track that would run from Tampato Orlando, then later from Orlando toMiami.
Aplanned California network is by far themost ambitious. It received the secondlargest slice of the stimulus pie, $2.3 billion,to begin work on an 800-mi. (1,300 km)-long, high-speed rail line tying Sacramentoand the San Francisco Bay area to LosAngeles and San Diego.
The problem is that both California,Illinois and Florida face yawning budgetdeficits. So anything short of a sustained fed-eral commitment over decades could stickthem with construction and then operatingbills they can’t pay.
Even without a solid plan to fund the railprojects, high-speed train advocates haven’tstopped from thinking big. Some envisioncreating a true high-speed rail system like theones in Asia and Europe that could cost $1trillion.
