ELFA Release September Survey of Economic ActivityThe Equipment Leasing and Finance
Association’s (ELFA) Monthly Leasing andFinance Index (MLFI-25), which reportseconomic activity for the $628 billion equip-ment finance sector, showed overall newbusiness volume for August was $6.9 bil-lion, up 21 percent from volume of $5.7 bil-lion in the same period in 2011. Volume wasup 5 percent from the previous month. Year-to-date cumulative new business volumeincreased 16 percent.Receivables over 30 days decreased for
the third consecutive month to 1.9 percent,down from 2.2 percent in July and down 24percent when compared to the same periodin 2011. Charge-offs were unchanged fromthe previous month at 0.4 percent, and downby 33 percent compared to the same periodlast year. Credit approvals decreased slightly to
77.0 percent in August from 77.5 percent inJuly. Sixty-two percent of participatingorganizations reported submitting moretransactions for approval during August,down from 65.5 percent the previous month.Finally, total headcount for equipment
finance companies was unchanged from theprevious month, and declined 3.0 percentyear over year.
Separately, the Equipment Leasing andFinance Foundation’s Monthly ConfidenceIndex (MCI-EFI) for September is 53.0, upfrom the August index of 50.2, reflectingincreased optimism despite concerns overcompanies’ willingness to expand their busi-nesses in the face of economic and politicaluncertainty.ELFA President and CEO William G.
Sutton said, “The pace of new equipmentfinancing continued throughout the summermonths as the housing sector, for one,showed signs of a rebound. However, busi-nesses, both large and small, continue tobuild up cash reserves, indicating lingeringapprehension over increasing energy prices,instability in the Arab world and a still frag-ile Eurozone economy.”Thomas Depping, chief executive officer,
Ascentium Capital, said, “The general origi-nation and credit quality trends detailedabove mirror our experience at AscentiumCapital. The credit quality of our applica-tions remains unprecedentedly strong andour delinquencies at historic lows. Althoughwe have hedged ourselves against anotherpossible global economic slowdown, wecontinue to expand our sales force as wehave a generally optimistic view of our
future. One thing I have learned over thepast 30 years in the industry is that beingover-capitalized and having substantialexcess liquidity is never a bad thing.”
About the ELFA’s MLFI-25The MLFI-25 is the only index that
reflects capex, or the volume of commercialequipment financed in the United States TheMLFI-25 is released globally at 8 a.m.Eastern time from Washington, D.C., eachmonth, on the day before the U.S.Department of Commerce releases thedurable goods report. The MLFI-25 is afinancial indicator that complements thedurable goods report and other economicindexes, including the Institute for SupplyManagement Index, which reports econom-ic activity in the manufacturing sector.Together with the MLFI-25 these reportsprovide a complete view of the status of pro-ductive assets in the U.S. economy: equip-ment produced, acquired and financed.The MLFI-25 is a time series that reflects
two years of business activity for the 25companies currently participating in the sur-vey. The latest MLFI-25, including method-ology and participants is available athttp://www.elfaonline.org/Research/MLFI/
MLFI-25 MethodologyThe ELFA produces the MLFI-25 survey
to help member organizations achieve com-petitive advantage by providing them withleading-edge research and benchmarkinginformation to support strategic businessdecision making. The MLFI-25 is a barometer of the trends
in U.S. capital equipment investment. Fivecomponents are included in the survey: newbusiness volume (originations), aging ofreceivables, charge-offs, credit approvalratios, (approved vs. submitted) and head-count for the equipment finance business.The MLFI-25 measures monthly com-
mercial equipment lease and loan activity asreported by participating ELFA memberequipment finance companies representing across section of the equipment finance sec-tor, including small ticket, middle-market,large ticket, bank, captive and independentleasing and finance companies. Based onhard survey data, the responses mirror theeconomic activity of the broader equipmentfinance sector and current business condi-tions nationally.

TUPELO, Miss. (AP) The lowest bid to build a bridgeover the Natchez Trace Parkway came in $1.4 million high-er than expected. Officials told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that
members of the Major Thoroughfare Committee would dis-cuss the bids on Oct. 8 before taking a proposal to the citycouncil. The bridge is part of the city’s northern loop road project. Three companies submitted bids with the lowest coming
in at $7.4 million from Madison-based Key Constructors.The five-lane, 320-ft. (97.5 m) bridge had been estimated tocost $6 million during an analysis done nearly two years ago. The Major Thoroughfare Program is funded by a 10-mill
property tax. The road commonly is called the northern loop and must
cross both the Natchez Trace and U.S. Highway 78. The Mississippi Department of Transportation also must
authorize the deal because the project will receive federalfunds administered by the state. If all goes as planned, construction of the bridge could
begin by mid- to late November. The project is expected totake 16 months. The bridge over U.S. 78 could start later this year or early
next year. The entire northern loop is 4.5 mi. (7.2 km) long and paid
mostly through revenues generated by the MajorThoroughfare tax levy.

Monies Collected Slated to Fund State-Wide ProjectsThe measure also calls for thededication of an existing 1-cent-per-gallon fuel tax to fundroad projects, which brings thetotal program to $1.8 billion. “Several things are of benefit
to voters and it’s our job toinform them of the benefits,obviously,” Douglass said.“This will continue the con-struction of four-lane highwayprojects that connect all parts ofthe state. We have learned intalking with voters that theywant Arkansas to be better con-nected.” Last year, voters approved
the reissuance of $575 millionin bonds to fund more than 400mi. of interstate repairs. Ifapproved, the new tax wouldfund improvements to high-ways throughout the state,along with a handful of inter-state projects. The Arkansas Highway
Commission selected the proj-ects by “following the cars,”Douglass said. Among the proj-ects that would be funded by
the tax include makingInterstate 540 six lanesbetween Fayetteville andBentonville while doing thesame on Interstate 40 betweenConway and Little Rock. Theplan also calls for additionalfour-lane work in northeastArkansas to connect Jonesboroand Paragould to U.S. 67/167and Interstate 55. Gov. Mike Beebe is backing
the proposal, spokesman MattDeCample said. The fact thatthe measure has a sunset of 10years and that it doesn’t raisetaxes on groceries led the gov-ernor to support the increase,DeCample said. “We need opportunities for
future highway funding andthis is one that puts that choicedirectly to the people,” he said. Many groups, including the
Arkansas State Chamber ofCommerce and the ArkansasFarm Bureau also are support-ing the plan. “From agriculture’s stand-
point, our products can’t get tomarket without good roads. It’s
as simple as that,” said FarmBureau President Randy Veachin announcing the group’s sup-port. “Like everyone, we arecautious of using sales tax rev-enue to fund a building pro-gram. But as Arkansas’ largestindustry, agriculture will bene-fit from any infrastructureimprovements.” The measure is one of two
referred by the Legislature dur-ing its 2011 session. The sec-ond proposal would allowcities and counties to createSales Tax AnticipatedRevenue, or STAR, districts.They are similar to TaxIncrement Financing districtsbut use anticipated revenuefrom sales taxes to pay off thedebt. If approved, the Legislature
must adopt laws governing theuse of STAR bonds before theycan be issued and any districtwould have to be approved atthe local level. The proposal has the back-
ing of the Arkansas MunicipalLeague and the governor.

Loading some of the approximately one million yds. ofrock that had to be blasted to make way for the road.
construction. Despite this foresight, $230million was spent to acquire 525 acres ofadditional right-of-way needed for construc-tion.At $1,171.7 million, according to the
Federal Highway Administration, theTriangle Expressway is the largest trans-portation infrastructure project in the state’shistory, creating 13,800 jobs. Jason Peterson,Triangle Expressway project manager, saidNorth Carolina has the second-largest state-funded road network in the United Statesbehind Texas. In 2008, the State House voted to approve
$25 million a year for 39 years for the proj-ect to cover the difference between expectedtoll collections and actual costs. However,due to the economic slump, funding from thegas tax and new car sales “can’t keep up withthe need,” as Peterson puts it.Supplementing state funds and aTransportation Infrastructure Finance andInnovation Act loan are bond sales, whichbegan in 2009.
Divided Project for Divided Highway
The toll way consists of two sections: theTriangle Parkway and the Western WakeFreeway, but two contracts divide the workinto three sections. “The whole project is really two small
design-build projects,” Peterson said. Phase I, Triangle Parkway, opened in
December 2011 at a cost of $137.5 million.It extends the pre-existing NC 147 to theNorthern Wake Expressway (NC 540). The2.8-mi. (4.5 km) segment of NC 540 con-structed by the N.C. Department ofTransportation with Surface TransportationFunds opened five years ago and will betransferred to the North Carolina TurnpikeAuthority to oversee. “NC 540 was a free route, but it becomes
a toll road [as part of this project],” Petersonsaid.S. T. Wooten Corp. of Wilson, N.C., was
the general contractor on this portion of theproject. Granite Construction of Watsonville,
Calif., and Archer Western Contractors ofAtlanta teamed up to form a joint venture asRaleigh Durham Roadbuilders to completePhases II and III. These two sections com-prise a separate contract for $446.5 million
and are collectively referred to as theWestern Wake Freeway because the multi-lane road will link NC 540 in western WakeCounty to the NC 55 Bypass in HollySprings, about 12.6 mi. (20.2 km) south. Work began in the summer of 2009. Phase
II opened August 1, 2012. Phase III — thefinal 6 mi. (9.7 km) of the toll way — isscheduled to open January 2013.
Work DetailThe Parkway includes: 10 interchanges,
41 bridges, 22 box culverts for drainage, 71overhead sign structures, 13 electronic tollsites and three greenway trails. “It’s multi-modal,” Peterson said. “It’s not
just about cars.”Over the course of the 42-month project,
crews will use 130,000 tons (117,934 t) ofaggregate base course and 215,000 tons(195,044 t) of asphalt. Phase I used asphalt;the large project used concrete. Both projectsbrought temporary plants on-site.Of the 7.5 million yds. of excavation, any-
thing that is 2 in. or smaller is used on-sitefor fills. Because the area features red claywith a streak of triassic rock that is strongand tough until it’s exposed to the elements,approximately 1 million yds. of rock had tobe blasted to make way for the road. “They were blasting every day for eight or
nine months,” Peterson calculated.As difficult as blasting was, perhaps a big-
ger challenge is the compressed schedule. “The sooner we open, the sooner we
make revenue [from tolls],” Peterson said.“Bond repayment is 32 years. The first proj-ect was completed in two years; the secondproject is scheduled to be finished in threeyears, from cutting the first tree to opening.”To meet the deadline, crews work six days
a week. Because the toll road is a new loca-tion project, there was little traffic to worryabout: just some cross traffic at the intersec-tions. Nevertheless, because of time and lanerestrictions, some work was done on nightsand weekends, mostly during the summerbetween Memorial Day and Labor Day. Twoconcrete paving seasons were coordinated atnight to take advantage of cooler tempera-tures and for better productivity. “The site is less crowded because paving
was the only operation going on,” Petersonsaid.The paving operation incorporated a new
24-ft.-wide (7.3 m) paver and was one of the
first projects in the state to use stakeless tech-nology. “It’s easier on the subgrade,” Peterson
explained. When it’s finished, the entire road will be
easier on commuters. To ensure a smoothride, crews are pouring to meet InternationalRoughness Index specifications. “We mount a laser device to a vehicle to
measure deviations in the pavement. Theconcrete max is 75; our numbers are in the30s and 40s. The contractor is pretty proud.”The Triangle Expressway is one of the
first projects in the state to adhere to IRIstandards. The high standards set by theteam are an example of their ultimate goal. “We strive to provide a great product,”
Peterson said. “There’s a lot of pressure toget things right.” So far, they have. Phase II opened to rave
reviews.
Taking Its Toll on the RoadHad the state not chosen to make this a toll
road, Peterson said, the funding formatwouldn’t have come up for 20 years. Thestate didn’t want to wait that long before itcould afford to build the road, so theTurnpike Authority designated the TriangleParkway as a toll way project in 2005. Twoyears later it was selected to become NorthCarolina’s first all-electronic toll road.“Originally, it was designed with tradi-
tional toll booths,” Peterson said. “But afterstudying tolls roads in the Northeast and inTexas, in 2007 the board decided not to usetoll booths, opting for an all-electronicmethod of collection. It will save an estimat-ed $60 million in capital costs of infrastruc-ture for the toll lanes, toll booths and person-nel.“Because of the novelty of the system, the
public requires education on the advantagesof tolling,” Peterson said. One of the chief benefits is how much
faster it will be. The toll road is expected toshave 20 minutes off the commute in eachdirection.The speed of travel is augmented by a
transponder toll program called NC QuickPass that keeps traffic moving. Regular com-muters can set up an account with the N.C.Turnpike Authority. They then install a pock-et-size device in their vehicle’s windshield. Overhead gantries containing radio fre-
quency readers collect the customer’s ID
number and automatically deduct tolls froma pre-paid account. “It’s just like getting on any other road,”
Peterson said. “Drivers won’t even noticeit.” Travelers without a NC Quick Pass are
tracked by their license plate after a cameratakes a photo. A bill will then be mailed tothe owner of the vehicle.As an added benefit, because so many
commuters also travel to regions in thenortheast, Peterson said they’re workingtoward transponder compatibility with E-ZPass. “It will be seamless for the traveler ifwe reach an agreement.”Keeping drivers happy is key to the suc-
cess of this innovative project. “We had to provide a benefit to get people
on board. One benefit is an $8 million intel-ligent transportation system that will moni-tor the road, using 81 microwave vehicledetectors. The information they retrieve willpopulate a speed map, alerting drivers todelays, accidents and other important infor-mation. There will be full camera coverageof all 18 mi. It will help clear accidentsfaster,” Peterson said. “The goal is a higherlevel of service.” Because the Turnpike Authority wants the
entire length of its first toll road to “look andfeel different,” a separate landscape contractfor $5 million was awarded: 140,000 grass-es, shrubs and trees will be planted along theroute. It’s the first design-build landscapecontract in North Carolina.The toll way will be cleaner, with less lit-
ter, Peterson continued. And it will be care-fully maintained by the Turnpike Authority,with funds built into the bonds for manage-ment and maintenance. If traffic picks up,causing increased wear, the funding fromadditional tolls increases to cover mainte-nance or expansion as necessary. “We builtwhat we needed to handle existing traffic,with built-in funding for the future.”To keep the toll road in optimal condition,
instead of the standard one-year warranty,the Turnpike Authority offered a three-yearwarranty, with periodic evaluations. “TheOperations group gives a maintenance gradetwice a year. They look for pot holes, lowshoulders, guard rail damage… They’llmaintain it at a 90 percent level of service.”

AGC to Continue Providing ItsFall Protection Safety ProgramThe Associated General Contractors of
America will continue to provide fall protec-tion safety training next year due to a feder-al safety grant the association is beingawarded. The association will use the$120,000 Susan Harwood Training Grantfrom the U.S. Department of Labor to offerthe fall protection safety training designed toprevent potentially fatal falls among con-struction workers, officials said.“Nothing is more important to our mem-
bers than the safety of every constructionworker,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the asso-ciation’s chief executive officer. “Theexpanded program will help give construc-tion workers the training they need to remainsafe on the job site”According to the latest safety statistics,
fall-related fatalities remain the single largestcause of construction deaths while the over-
all number of construction fatalities hasdeclined by nearly 50 percent over the pastfive years, Sandherr said. In 2010, fall-relat-ed fatalities account for 35 percent of thetotal, 260 out of the 751 construction fatali-ties, he added.The fall protection safety program will be
offered in eight different locations next year,reaching as many as 500 construction work-ers, Sandherr noted. The program will pro-vide comprehensive information about fallprotection for both commercial and residen-tial construction, he added.In addition to the fall protection program,
the association offers a variety of safety pro-grams and materials that many member con-struction firms currently use. The associationoffers educational materials to member firmsand in-seat safety training programs acrossthe country.

Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Achieves Record SeptemberVancouver-based Ritchie Bros.
Auctioneers sold approximately $561 mil-lion of equipment at 31 unreserved auctionsaround the world in September 2012, thehighest September gross auction proceeds incompany history and one of its largest evermonths. The company also achieved itshighest ever third quarter gross auction pro-ceeds with approximately $848 million ofequipment sold during the quarter endedSept. 30, 2012. The Ritchie Bros. Web siteattracted roughly 4.1 million unique visitorsin the first nine months of 2012, a 39 percentincrease compared to the same period in2011. “Our record September and third quarter
gross auction proceeds reflect steadyimprovement in equipment supply anddemand dynamics, which we discussed onour August earnings call,” said Peter Blake,Ritchie Bros. CEO. “New equipment supplyand demand continued to become more bal-anced during the quarter, which is beginningto increase the availability of used equip-ment in the market. This is a positive devel-opment for our business and growthprospects, though increasing equipment sup-ply resulted in generally more variability inused equipment prices at our auctions in themonth of September.
“We expect that increased availability ofequipment will continue to stimulate thesupply of used equipment to sell at our auc-tions. This is a promising sign as we moveinto the fourth quarter and we are confidentin our ability to execute and achieve our2012 plan.” Highlights from the month of September
included: • Demand for heavy equipment and
trucks remains strong in AlbertaOn Sept. 5 and 6, 2012, Ritchie Bros.
Auctioneers sold close to $54 million ofheavy equipment and trucks during a two-day unreserved public auction at the compa-ny’s permanent auction site in Edmonton,Alberta. Almost 5,000 registered bidderscompeted for 4,600 heavy equipment itemsand trucks, including a selection of morethan 120 T/A truck tractors, more than 75
hydraulic excavators and more. • Close to 1,700 heavy equipment items
sold in Australia in two daysLater in the month, the company sold
more than $67 million of heavy equipmentand trucks at two Australian unreserved pub-lic auctions in Brisbane, QLD (Sept. 18) andGeelong, VIC (Sept. 20). In total, close to1,700 heavy equipment items and truckswere sold in the two auctions, including 92wheel loaders, 86 hydraulic excavators, 21crawler tractors, 36 articulated dump trucks,52 prime movers and more. • Strong international participation at
two-day Texas auctionMore than 2,950 bidders from 58 coun-
tries participated at a two-day unreservedpublic auction in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sept.25 and 26, 2012. The company sold morethan $40 million of equipment items and
trucks at the Fort Worth auction, which fea-tured more than 3,400 heavy equipmentitems and trucks. • Massive mining auction held in con-
junction with North Carolina GrandOpeningTo wrap up the record-breaking month of
September, Ritchie Bros. held a historic auc-tion at the company’s brand new permanentauction site in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. onSept. 26 and 27, 2012. More than 2,100 bid-ders from 51 countries registered on site inRaleigh, on site at a simulcast of the auctionin Las Vegas, Nev., or online at www.rbauc-tion.com to participate in the grand openingauction in North Carolina, which featured amassive selection of more than 300 miningand earthmoving equipment items that wereused in coal mining operations in Kentuckyand West Virginia. The company sold more than 60
Caterpillar D11 crawler tractors on day twoof the auction. Local U.S.-based buyers aswell as buyers from as far away as Australiaand Hong Kong purchased the D11s on auc-tion day. By the end of day two, the compa-ny had sold more than $76 million of trucks,heavy construction, earthmoving and min-ing equipment during the two-day unre-served public auction.
“We expect that increased availability ofequipment will continue to stimulate the supply of used equipment.”

John Deere is adding fourmodels to the K-Seriescrawler dozer line, providingcontractors an emissions-cer-tified machine that affordshigher productivity,increased uptime and lowerdaily operating costs in earthmoving and grading applica-tions, according to the manu-facturer. The 550K, 650K, 700K
and 750K crawler dozersbuild off the 850K thatlaunched in 2011.“We’re excited to add four
efficient and productivecrawler dozer models to theJohn Deere line-up,” said JonGilbeck, global product mar-keting manager of crawlerdozers, John DeereConstruction & Forestry.“Our customers wanted anIT4 engine, a quieter andmore comfortable cab and theunsurpassed operating easeand maneuverability theyhave come to expect fromJohn Deere. With the success of the850K, we only thought it was logicalto expand the K-Series’ offerings.”A John Deere PowerTech 6.8-L
(700K, 750K) or 4.5L (550K, 650K)IT4 diesel engine provides an increasein horsepower from the previous J-Series, along with increases in overalltractor weight, resulting in more pro-ductive machines. The horsepowerranges include: 85 hp (550K), 101 hp(650K), 125 hp (700K), and 155-165hp (750K) at 1,800 rpm. The K-Series uses cooled EGR
technology with exhaust filters,Deere’s solution to meet 2012 EPAemissions regulations. The engine’sdiesel particulate filters are cleanedautomatically during routine opera-tion, eliminating the need to idle downfor maintenance and increasing overallmachine productivity. In addition, fil-ter access is easy, should it need serv-icing.The John Deere IT4 engine also
offers operation on slopes up to 45degrees while maintaining adequateoil flow to machine systems. Ahydraulically driven cool-on-demandfan operates only as needed, decreasescab and bystander noise levels, andcuts fuel consumption. A reversing
feature is standard for the 750K andoptional for the 550K, 650K, and700K to blow out debris. Both the 700K and 750K come
equipped with John Deere’s V-Coolpackage. This system isolates cool-ers from dust and engine heat forincreased efficiency and durability.In addition, the V-Cool is positionedbehind the heavy-duty grille andfan, making the coolers less vulner-able to the rigors of the work site.The four new crawler models
come equipped with hydrostatictransmissions, a feature John Deerepioneered in crawler dozers inNorth America in 1976. Thesetransmissions provide customersinfinite speed control, power man-agement, live power turns, counterrotation while staying in gear, anddynamic braking. In addition, totalmachine control allows customizedmachine response that can be tai-lored to meet the needs of individ-ual operators.Inside the cab, operators will find
increased comfort due to quieteroperation, larger access doors and astandard air suspension seat. Sounddampening in the cab reduces noiselevels up to 50-percent on the 550K
and 650K. Visibility to the bladeand job site is provided via ampleglass and well-positioned in-cab com-ponents. The models also feature asealed switch model (SSM) with key-less start and a coded-security start fea-ture, a 12-volt electrical accessory out-let and an integrated grade controlmonitor.Onboard diagnostics include a stan-
dard display monitor that provides realtime values for every temperature,pressure and speed sensor on themachine. The crawler dozers constant-ly monitor transmission temperature toavoid damage to the hydrostat system.If the transmission temperature is toocold or too hot, the associated light onthe monitor will illuminate. For those fleet managers, owners or
operators looking to get the most out oftheir equipment, the JDLink Ultimatesystem continuously collects andtransmits machine data for machinemanagement via mobile phone tech-nology. The system enables the pre-ventive maintenance and remote diag-nostics of crawler dozers, as well as thetracking of machines working on mul-tiple job sites. For more information, visit John

Putzmeister has announced its latest advancements in theareas of concrete spraying, mixing and transporting equip-ment for mining with the introduction of the SPM 4210WETKRET series and the Putzmeister MIXKRET 4.
Designed and manufactured by Putzmeister, the SPM4210 WETKRET series’ reinforced sprayingarm provides a verti-cal spraying reachof nearly 33 ft.(10 m), while themaximum concreteoutput of the dou-ble-piston pumpmounted on theequipment isnearly 26 cu. yd.per hour (20 cu mper hour). Its pro-portional remotecontrol can beoperated bothby cable andremote con-trol, allowingfor easy operation of the spraying arm,regulation of the concrete output, and adjustmentof the dosing pump. The SPM 4210’s axlesand reinforced turning system allow it toaccommodate the rough working condi-tions in mining.
“The new SPM 4210 incorpo-rates numerousnew designchanges, from thechassis to thespray arm,” saidPatrick Bridger,president ofP u t z m e i s t e rS h o t c r e t eTechno logy.“Additionally, itis now offered invarious powerconfigurations,which gives usersmore applicationoptions.”
The SPM 4210 WETKRET series includes three versionsthat are designed in accordance with different job siterequirements, allowing the equipment to be used in variousworking environments. The electrically operated, standardversion includes an on-board air compressor. The dual driveversion has a dual operating system, allowing all of its com-ponents to be operated either by diesel or electrically. Thisversion also is available with an on-board air compressor.Finally, the rotor version works with a rotor pump, whichallows the equipment to be used for both the wet and dryspraying process. It also includes an on-board air compres-sor.
Designed to improve efficiency in the concrete sprayingprocess in mining, Putzmeister’s new MIXKRET 4 low-pro-file concrete mixer provides a concrete transport capacity of4.4 cu. yd. (4 cu m) and includes a liquid additive tank fortransporting and transferring additives to the shotcrete equip-ment. Equipped with a six-cylinder, 176 hp (130 kW)engine, the machine offers significant climbing and moving
power, as well as the abilityto work at high altitudes. TheMIXKRET 4’s cab, mounted
in machine direction,along with the night-vision camera at the rear, facilitate
its maneuverability and ensure visibility at all times.Its compact design and modern axles provide
enhanced mobility and maneuverability in narrowgalleries and tunnels, while its hydrostatic transmission withstepless variable gear motor ensures an ideal torque to speedratio. Additionally, the MIXKRET 4 features an automaticspeed control system for moving down slopes fully loadedand traveling at the maximum secure speed.
“The new MIXKRET 4 is a great addition to our productoffering,” said Bridger. “Not only is it a concrete hauler, butit also is a mixer/transport machine ideal for blending fibersinto the concrete.”

By Almudena CalatravaASSOCIATED PRESS
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP)South American engineers are trying totackle one of the continent’s greatestnatural challenges: the towering Andesmountain chain that creates a costlyphysical barrier for nations ever-more-dependent on trade with Asia. Instead of pushing cargo over a
10,500-ft. (3,200-m) pass that is oftenblocked by snow for weeks, they planto build the longest tunnels in theAmericas right through the mountains.That would make billions of dollarsworth of Chinese electronics, Chileanwine, Argentine food and Brazilian carscheaper and more competitive. The proposed $3.5 billion private
railway known as the Aconcagua Bi-Oceanic Corridor would link train andtrucking hubs on both sides with a 127-mi.-long (205-km) railway, includingtwin 32-mi. (52-km) tunnels.Construction would take 10 years, butonce completed, it could save millionsof dollars and carve days off shippingtimes. As it stands, the only major Andean
pass in the southern half of the conti-nent is snowed in each winter, strand-ing hundreds of cargo trucks in temper-atures that can fall to minus 13 F(minus 25 C). And Pacific ports remaininaccessible to the Atlantic nation ofBrazil, whose trans-Amazonian high-way becomes a boggy mess evenbefore reaching the mountains. “There is a gigantic network of infra-
structure on both sides of the mountainrange with a bottleneck we must freeup,” said engineer Nicolas Posse, whois directing the project for CorporacionAmerica. The Argentine company leads a con-
sortium that proposed the project, andboth governments have committed to itas a matter of “national interest,” creat-ing a binational commission that isinviting bids. Initial feasibility studieshave already been submitted. Currently, much of the processed soy
oils, wine and meat Argentina sends toChina, as well as Asian electronics des-tined for Brazil, must first sail aroundthe tip of South America, adding near-ly 3,000 nautical miles and anotherweek to the trip. Shipping by railbetween Atlantic and Pacific portswould unite the most productiveregions of Chile and its SouthAmerican neighbors, making trademore competitive for all involved. The shipping cost would drop from
$210 to $177 a ton for cargo that nowmoves between Cordoba, Argentina,and Manzanillo, Mexico, the closest
major port with direct rail links to theeastern United States. “This project is just what’s needed,”
said Mauricio Claveri, an economistwith the Abeceb.com consulting firm inBuenos Aires. He called it a strategicnecessity for the Mercosur nations ofArgentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Braziland Venezuela to develop more effi-cient trade links with China, Japan andSoutheast Asia. Trucking company owner Ivan
Caccia’s eyes light up when he calcu-lates his potential savings from the tun-nel, which promises to reduce theAndean passage from 12 hours to just 21/2 hours. Each trip Caccia & Sons trucks
make carrying wine and fruit betweenArgentina’s Mendoza province andChile’s capital of Santiago costs $1,400and takes two days. With the tunnel, itwould cost just $840 and his truckscould make it there and back in thesame day. “The economic part of this project is
important, but also the human aspect,because having a truck driver stuck inthe snow for three or four days isn’tvery pleasant,” he said. The world’s longest tunnel now in
operation links Japan’s two largestislands, Honshu and Hokkaido. Thatwill be surpassed in 2017 by theGotthard Base Tunnel, which will runfor 35 mi. (57 km) under the SwissAlps. The Andean consortium also
includes Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp.,Chile’s Empresas Navieras SA,Contreras Hermanos SA of Argentinaand Italy’s Geodata SpA, which helpeddesign other proposed tunnels linkingTurin, Italy, and Lyon, France, as wellas Europe and Africa through theStraits of Gibraltar. All those efforts had government
funding. What makes the Andean proj-ect unique is that it will be paid for pri-vately by the consortium and throughusage fees. The binational commissionwill provide loan guarantees, but put upno taxpayer money. Chile’s mining wealth and
Argentina’s agricultural bounty havesustained their economies, deliveringpositive trade balances year after year,but both countries need to produce andmove those exports more efficiently tomaintain growth. Chile imported $75billion worth of goods and exported$81 billion last year, while Argentineimported $74 billion and exported $84billion, the U.N.’s regional economicscommission reported Tuesday. The project takes its name from
nearby Aconcagua mountain, whichdominates the border and is the highest
peak in the Americas at 22,822 ft.(6,981 m) above sea level. The train engines, which would be
powered by electricity rather than coalor diesel to reduce the environmentalimpact, are to link a transportation hubin Lujan de Cuyo on the Argentine sidewith Los Andes, Chile. The tunnels willdescend from Punta de Vacas,Argentina, at 7,851 ft. (2,393 me)above sea level, to Saladillo, Chile, at5,039 ft. (1,536 m), both below thesteeper slopes and higher altitudes thatget paralyzing snow each winter. The initial phase would open a single
tunnel and cost $3.5 billion with acapacity of 24 million tons of cargo ayear. Depending on demand, the capac-ity could grow to 77 million tons andthe total price tag to $5.9 billion byadding a second tunnel and additionalrail lines on either side. As many asfour mechanical excavators will beused to carve through the mountains. “It’s a multimodal system: It works
like a ferry. Each train, about 750meters long, can transport containers ofmerchandise and trucks with their driv-ers as well as other train formations,which would switch locomotives tomake the crossing,” Posse said. Theidea is to enable cargo to make theentire journey between Atlantic andPacific ports without having to betransferred along the way. Any megaproject faces difficulties in
a region as politically and economical-ly unstable as Latin America. To startwith, there’s no guarantee that the con-sortium will win the bid, althoughCorporacion America and EmpresasNavieras are corporate leaders inArgentina and Chile, and Mitsubishi isone of the world’s largest trading com-panies. Posse said there’s nothing particular-
ly challenging about the Andes thatengineers aren’t already resolving inthe Alps. “An enormous amount of under-
standing has developed in the last 20years and this is a huge advantage,” hesaid. “What has been learned digginglong tunnels is that the most importantthing is to be obsessively prepared forwhat might happen in the field.” And promoters say it will pay for
itself and more through cargo fees thatcompanies the world over will gladlypay to speed their products to market. “We’re betting on reducing the trav-
el time to a third of what it is now, andthus bringing more profits all around.We’re talking about cargo fees that willmake the shipments cheaper andArgentine and Chilean exports morecompetitive,” Posse said.

All Bobcat M-Series loaders share features such asimproved power and performance, bet-ter visibility and operator comfort,according to the manufacturer.The T750 delivers a lift height-to-
hinge pin measurement of 132 in. (335cm) — more than 3 in. (7.6 cm) higherthan a T300 and features a 23-gal. (87L)-per-minute standard hydraulic flow— 11 percent more than the T300 itreplaces. The T750 has an operating weight of
10,327 lbs. (4,684 kg), a rated operat-ing capacity of 3,325 lbs. (1,508 kg)and is powered by an 85-hp (63 kW)turbo-diesel engine.
Production Is Key to Profitability
The hydraulic systems on M-Seriesloaders have been engineered for high-er standard flow and pressure that giveattachments more power to work morequickly. New job-enhancing features were
added to the optional deluxe instru-mentation panel. Available only on M-Series machines, the panel intelligentlymonitors key loader functions, and thekeyless start helps prevent theft. Thenew 5-in., full-color LCD screen offersbetter readability and interaction. Easy-to-read virtual sweep gauges allow theoperator to quickly read and under-stand the machine’s performance.
Increased UptimeThe loaders are designed to work
long hours on demanding job sites, andoperators want to spend minimal timeon routine maintenance to start theworkday earlier. Simple checks make iteasier to perform maintenance correct-ly at the proper intervals, according tothe manufacturer. The auxiliary hydraulic quick cou-
plers are mounted directly to the frontplate of the lift arm to provide a solidmounting, and hoses are routedthrough the loader arms for better pro-tection. A guard bar extends in front ofthe coupler for added protection. Keeping the loader cool when work-
ing long hours is important in prolong-
ing the service life of the machine. Thatis why Bobcat designed the coolingsystem on the M-Series for increasedefficiency and higher performance. Thenew design also makes it easier to cleanout the cooling system, with an oilcooler that swings up, allowing theoperator to clean the area between theoil cooler and the radiator.
Improved VisibilityThe T750, like other M-Series
loader models, features a cab-forwarddesign that moves the operator closer tothe attachment and provides enhancedvisibility in all directions. Visibility is provided to the cutting
edge of the bucket or the corners of anattachment because of the large cabdoor. The cab door threshold has beenlowered and the overall surface of thedoor has increased more than 40 per-cent to provide improved visibility andmake it easier for operators to enter andexit the cab. Windows on the sides and rear of the
cab also have been increased in size toprovide more visibility to the tires andto the rear. The larger top windowmakes it easier and more comfortablefor the operator to see the attachmentwith the lift arms raised, an advantagewhen loading trucks or performingother tasks.
Cab ComfortComfortable operators are more pro-
ductive, so to create a better workingenvironment, Bobcat increased the sizeof the M-series cab by 10 percent,improved cab pressurization anddesigned the interior to allow operatorsto adjust the environment to their indi-vidual preferences. Bobcat M-Series loaders have a
pressurized cab, with a new one-pieceseal that goes all the way around thedoor and fits into a special curvedpocket. This minimizes the amount ofdirt and dust that might enter the cab,creating more enjoyable working con-ditions and making it easier to clean thecab. Noise is another factor affecting
operator comfort, and Bobcat reducedthe sound level of M-Series loaders bymore than 60 percent. New enginemounts improve isolation to decreasevibration and reduce sound levels. The control levers on the optional
selectable joystick controls (SJC) moveup and down in conjunction with theseat to reduce arm movement andfatigue as the operator controls themachine. The joystick mounts slideforward or backward to adjust to thepreference of each individual operator. For more information, visit

Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chiefexecutive officer. “It appears that for everyrebounding market segment, there is anotherone that is shrinking.”
Construction firms employed 5.523 mil-lion people in September, up from 5.518 inAugust, Sandherr noted. Despite the month-ly gains, however, the sector’s overallemployment in September was 5,000 lowerthan one year earlier. The construction indus-try employs 2.2 million fewer people than itdid six years ago when the sector’s employ-ment peaked at 7.7 million workers.
Both residential and nonresidential con-struction added jobs in September, even asresidential construction outpaced nonresi-dential for the year. Residential building con-tractors added 1,100 jobs in September andhave gained 3,200 for the year. Meanwhile,residential specialty trade contractors added2,300 jobs in September and 19,700 for theyear.
Nonresidential building contractors added1,100 jobs in September, but have lost12,400 during the past 12 months.
Nonresidential specialty trade contractorsadded 1,500 jobs for the month, but lost30,000 for the year. And the heavy and civilengineering construction sector lost 200 jobsin September, but has added 14,600 sinceSeptember 2011.
Sandherr cautioned that over two millionformer construction workers have left theindustry, either to retire or for other jobs infaster-growing sectors. He said that as aresult, the industry will have a hard timefinding skilled workers once constructiondemand rebounds. The association officialadded that federal tax and spending uncer-tainties were making it hard for firms toencourage people to consider careers in con-struction.
“Becoming a skilled construction workerrequires months of training and practice,”Sandherr said. “It is hard to get new workersto start months of training for jobs that maynot be there next year if firms are payingmore in taxes and earning less on publicprojects.”
Sector’s Overall EmploymentRate Remains Lower Than 2011
