The ongoing wildfires in British Columbia have now charred a portion of the province larger than Prince Edward Island.

According to the B.C. Wild�re Service, about 900 wild�res have claimed more than 591,000 hectares of land since April 1, and the cost of �ghting the �res has reached $230 million.

Unfortunately, these num-bers have likely grown since Equipment Journal’s dead-line.

At the front lines of the province’s largest f ire, which has torched more than 110,000 hectares alone, heavy equipment is being used to construct �re guards.

Call to actionIn an added e�ort to com-

bat the wild�re’s destruction, the Vancouver Regional Con-struction Association (VRCA) launched an online initiative called Here4BC (Here4BC.ca).

�e initiative is designed to bring the Canadian con-struction industry together to support those who have been displaced, lost homes or businesses as a result of the wild�res.

The program is also de-signed to create awareness

of the need to help those affected and to inspire the Canadian construction industry — including com-panies, their employees as well as associations — to do-nate $1 million directly to the Canadian Red Cross British Columbia Fires Appeal by Aug. 31.

“Associations in the Can-adian construction industry play a vital part in motiv-ating and mobilizing their members to support caus-es like the Canadian Red Cross British Columbia Fires Appeal,” said VRCA President, Fiona Famulak. “We’re asking fellow asso-ciations across the owner, consultant and contracting communities — residential and non-residential, open and closed-shop — to join the e�ort to help British Col-umbians in need.”

So far, support isn’t con-tained to the province affected by the wildfires. Construction-related com-panies from British Columbia to Ontario have made dona-tions, ranging from $200 to $20,000, towards the cause. To date, the initiative has raised about $125,000.

A l o n g s i d e f i n a n c i a l support, the VRCA is also encouraging donations of

equipment, portable build-ings, emergency supplies, building supplies, tools and transportation services.

Online assistanceIf a �nancial or equipment

donation isn’t feasible, the VRCA is requesting support in the form of awareness, via social media posts or website banners linking to Here4BC.ca.

The association has cre-ated several predesigned website banners, which are available on the initiative’s website.

Here4BC was created to unite Canada’s construction industry.

With so many available options for supporting the initiative, there’s no reason it shouldn’t achieve that aspect of its mandate.

Komatsu has introduced its new WA200-8 wheel loader featuring increased operator comfort and reduced fuel consumption.

The wheel loader’s parallel-lift linkage and breakout force make it a versatile jobsite tool, according to Komatsu. Useful in numerous applications, from pallet handling to hard digging, fuel consumption drops by as much as four per cent in V-cycle as well as load-and-carry applications.

�e WA200-A comes standard with a new high-back, heat-ed seat that softens machine vibration for operator comfort.

As well, the machine comes standard with a colour 7 in. LCD monitor with Ecology Guidance, a dedicated colour rearview monitor, auxiliary audio jack and two 12-volt ports.

The wheel loader is also equipped with a KOMTRAX telematics system and monitor to provide key metrics, including KDFP status, DEF-level data, fuel consumption and performance information collected and sorted via operator ID.

“�e WA200-8 is a massive upgrade in operator comfort,” said Frank Nyquist, product manager for Komatsu America. “And the quick, change-on-the-�y coupler lets you move from moving bales to loading pallets to cleaning out feedlots or pushing into a pile with ease.”

Equipped with a 4.46 litre, 126 hp, EPA Tier 4 Final certi�ed engine, the machine burns up to four per cent less fuel than its predecessor. Komatsu Auto Idle Shutdown also reduces idle time and saves fuel.

As well, the Komatsu Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (KDOC) uses 100 per cent passive regeneration without a diesel particulate �lter. �e new SCR system reduces emissions and is designed to last the life of the engine.

To reduce wheel spin, the WA200-A’s fourth generation hydrostatic drivetrain, with variable traction control and S-mode, provides increased traction control. S-mode excels in snowy, icy or slippery conditions.

A knob on the right-hand console easily controls creep mode in �rst gear. �is mode allows the operator to dial in travel speed from one to eight miles an hour and is ideal

for running attachments, such as brooms.�e WA200-8, whether rented, leased or purchased, is

covered by the Komatsu CARE program for the �rst three years or 2,000 hours. Komatsu CARE includes scheduled

factory maintenance, a 50-point inspection at each service and two complimentary Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) maintenance services and DEF tank �ushes in the �rst �ve years.

Increased comfort,decreased fuel cost

Additional Features

Swing out, hydraulically-driven cooling fan, with wider fin spacing and auto-reverse, for ease of cleaning.

Gull-wing engine doors to provide quick, convenient access for daily checks and service items.

DEF tank features a convenient sight glass to discourage overfilling.

Full-rear fenders are optional. Best Quality Attachments At The Lowest Possible Price!

By Dan Pelton�e concept of virtual reality has been with us for nearly half a century. It is not all that new.

More recently, however, it has emerged from science �ction and is quickly becom-ing a part of everyday life. In short, the technology of vir-tual reality (VR) is becoming … actual reality.

For example, airlines have been utilizing �ight simula-tors for years to train their pilots.

�ese virtual cockpits are a complex and expensive,

albeit necessary, method to ensure optimum passenger safety.

Virtual reality, meanwhile, has reached a point where its cost has substantially de-creased and its applications have broadened to a point where VR is now a tool that can be used by a number of di�erent areas.

Among VR’s proponents is Rick Smith, senior director of global product training at JLG; a global manufactur-er of aerial work platforms and telehandlers based in McConnellsburg, Pa.

�e nature of JLG’s busi-ness demands that users of its product be well versed in its operation.

Realistic experienceWith virtual reality, Smith

says the company is achiev-ing “realistic experience in a safe environment” when it comes to training.

Augmented reality is es-sentially a real time scenario — such as video conferencing — that can be accompanied by such things as graphics and other supplementary vis-uals. Virtual reality is entirely electronically generated.

“�e cost of the hardware is coming down,” Smith points out.

“In the past six months, I would say computer and VR costs have been cut by

one half.”While JLG strives to be on

the cutting edge of this tech-nology, Smith �gures VR is a concept that is in its relative infancy.

“I really think we are just at the beginning,” he said.

“�e ability to use VR as a classroom is mind blowing. Virtual reality is going to do phenomenal things when it comes to education.”

To demonstrate that VR offers JLG’s clients more than just a video-confer-encing training session, let’s present a hypothetical situation where Johann in Amsterdam is encountering a problem that is unique to his warehouse.

Trainers in McConnells-bu rg k now t hat Bob i n Montana has encountered

something very similar. He is put in touch with Johann and the two have access to all the VR technology to work out a solution. JLG, mean-while, is also there to lend its expertise.

What we have is both a virtual classroom and a brokerage for ideas and worldwide brainstorming.

Smith will be making a presentation at the 2017 Na-tional Voluntary Protection Programs Participants Asso-ciation (VPPPA) symposium, which will be held Aug. 29 to Sept. 1 in New Orleans.

He intends to leverage JLG’s training and technology expertise, while demonstrat-ing the use of virtual in the company’s aerial work plat-form operator training.

“People who are training

people are always looking for a better tool,” says Smith. “If they see something that im-proves (training procedures), they are all in.”

�e new Demag® PC 3800-1 Pedestal Crane is providing access to jobsites previously not reachable with a stan-dard crawler model.

Typically, crawler cranes require an adequately levelled supporting ground over a large area to achieve the nominal lifting capacity, leading to extensive ground preparation prior to the lift job.

However, the PC 3800-1 only requires preparation of four spots for the outrig-ger supports, which do not need to be perfectly levelled.

�e outrigger cylinders may compen-sate some tolerance on the ground’s �atness — up to 2.1 degrees with a 12 x 12 metre outrigger base.

As well, existing pile foundations may be used as outrigger supports, when providing su�cient stability.

�e setup makes the PC 3800-1 bene-�cial on jobsites where ground layout and structure are already existing, which is often the case at harbour quays and

refineries, as well as when installing bridges from river banks.

�e pedestal crane features hydraul-ic extendable and foldable outriggers, which may be positioned at 12 x 12 metres or 14 x 14 metres with all con�gurations.

�e PC 3800-1 also provides increased lifting performance in several con�gur-ations or requires less counterweight for the same or slightly higher lifting capacities.

Less counterweight means fewer trucks, translating into reduced trans-portation costs.

For increased versatility, Demag developed an adapter to connect the carbody of the crane to a self-propelled modular trailer or axle lines, which are commonly found on jobs involving lift-ing bridge sections, gantries or wind turbine assemblies.

Leveraging the use of axle lines allow easy relocation of the crane on a jobsite while partially rigged.

Furthermore, equipping the crane with axle lines allows it to be adapted to match a 12 ton load per axle, or to have a cross vehicle weight below 100 tons.

This is achievable with numerous axle lines from multiple manufacturers.

Other optional accessories for the Demag PC 3800-1 pedestal crane in-clude a quick connection to un-deck the superstructure from the chassis and di�erent sizes of outrigger mats.

�e PC 3800-1 can be purchased as a complete crane or the carrier only can be purchased as a retro�t option for the Demag CC 3800-1 crawler crane and its predecessor, the Superlift 3800. �e Quick Connection system allows e�cient switching between crawlers and pedestal carrier on the Demag CC 3800-1 crane — with or without the Superlift — and is compatible with wind turbine combinations, as well as boom booster kits.

Demag levels the playingfield with uneven ground

Sunbelt Rentals to acquire Contractors Rental Supply

One of the largest equipment rental companies in North America just grew in size, following the acquisition of a Canadian competitor.

Sunbelt Rentals, the North American arm of Ashtead Group PLC, has purchased the Ontario-based Contractors Rental Supply (CRS) for $275 million, plus a potential earn-out. CRS is Sunbelt’s first acquisition in Eastern Canada. �e company will become Sunbelt’s operational platform in Ontario.

“We are very pleased to be partnering with Ashtead and Sunbelt,” said CRS Chairman Steve Fay.

“�eir culture, values and total focus on their people and customers is exceptional, and perfectly aligned with CRS. �e CRS partnership with Clairvest Group, which began in 2013, has been very successful and we look forward to continuing to provide our customers with industry-lead-ing equipment and service as part of the Ashtead team.”

CRS was founded in 2000 by a group of industry veterans. Today, the company employs 400 people at 28 locations throughout southern Ontario.

Sunbelt is backed by a network of more than 625 loca-tions throughout North America, making it the second largest equipment rental business in the United States. �e company’s �eet value exceeds US$7 billion and in-cludes construction equipment, industrial tools, pumps and power generation equipment, trench shoring, scaf-folding, remediation and restoration equipment. Before the acquisition of CRS, Sunbelt held several locations in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Ashteed, Sunbelt’s parent company, also operates A-Plant, the United Kingdom’s largest heavy equipment company with 179 locations.

�e CRS transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks, if the deal meets the satisfaction of certain regula-tory approvals. �ere is no guarantee that the transaction will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period.


Rotary telehandlers are gaining popularity in construction trades throughout Canada, according to Manulift.

With the same advantages of a traditional telehandler, the rotating telehandler surpasses cranes and boom trucks of less than 30 tons, according to the company. A rotary version also reduces site equipment movement, allowing drastic gains in productivity and requiring less work space when compared to traditional models.

In Canada, Manulift owns 92 per cent of the rotating telehandler market with its Merlo brand, providing 14 models of the machine.

Manulift’s Canadian clients include: Arcelor Mittal, Hy-dro-Québec, Co�rage Synergie and the Canadian Forces. Revêtement RHR is using a Roto to replace a telescopic forklift, crane boom truck man lift and scissor lift. For Co�rage Synergie, the rotating telehandler is necessary for projects taller than six stories.

Merlo was the �rst to launch the Roto range with a rotating turret in 1991. �e company credits its annual eight per cent investment in research and development for cornering the rotary telehandler market.

While a new rotary telehandler hasn’t been released this year, Manulift has incorporated a new EPD system (Eco Power Drive) with energy savings of 18 per cent in movement and driving. As well, its machines have been upgraded to include larger cabs; a new analogue-digital instrument panel to provide more precise and punctual information; and a lower boom weight.

�e Merlo Roto includes a system of four independent stabilizers with rapid deployment allowing them to be positioned at any width. Its compact chassis turns inside of its stabilizers to increase use in restricted places. Equipped with a tilting cab, the Roto also o�ers 360-degree visibility for its operator. Furthermore, a remote control allows the operator to be on the ground performing tasks instead of being stuck in the cab.

Canada comes around to rotary telehandlers

A Canadian mainstay in industrial advertis-ing and communications is celebrating its 20-year milestone in London, Ont.

When Marketing Strategies & Solu-tions opened its doors in July 1997, Robert Adeland was its sole employee. Adeland, who �rst came to London to complete his MBA program at the Ivey School of Business, had previously worked on both sides of the desk in the client/agency equation. After �nding employment in his home town of Montreal and in Saskatchewan, he returned to London to manage marketing services for GM Diesel, then later moved on to support GM and other “big iron” accounts for a local advertising �rm. With that background, he saw the opportunity to build a business of his own that focused on the needs of industrial and B2B marketers.

“Our clients are typically focused on the

engineering and production needs of their company – marketing is new ground for them. Our job is to help de�ne their mar-keting goals,” Adeland said.

Now, 20 years later, Adeland leads a tight-knit group of experienced professionals working closely to create e�ective solutions for its clients throughout North America.

While the heavy machinery business takes Marketing Strategies & Solutions far a�eld, Adeland is proud of the work his group produces for local businesses and charities.

“We see ourselves as an integral part of our community – of our social community as well as our business communities. We strongly believe in our obligation to make a positive contribution to the community, not only through donations of our time, know-ledge and energy, but through the values we represent in the work we do every day.”

Marketing Strategies & Solutions celebrates 20 years




By GCR Tires & Service’s manager Kendall Ho�man and Scott Perschbacher, director of mining sales and operations

Picture it: the beauty of a West Texas sunset characterized by the outline of an oil rig sit-ting idle after a long day. Production hit its peak in October 2014 with more than 1,600 active rigs. Yet, six months later, only 350 rigs remained, as equipment and rigs sat idle in the hot sun.

�e following year brought the downturn, while 2016 showcased concern and hope following an agreement of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to cut 1.2 million barrels per day from inter-national oil production. Meanwhile, 2017 has shown industry resilience, as oil pro-

duction has increased with more than 200 rigs added across the United States in the �rst quarter alone.

From cranes on well sites to construction equipment digging for pipelines and on/o�-highway �eets, original equipment manu-facturers and owner/operators are seeing an increase in demand for machinery. �is means equipment operators in the service, construction, drilling and transportation industries must have their assets properly maintained and ready to operate at a mo-ment’s notice, even after sitting idle for more than a year.

Often, we see companies try to “quick �x” their tire assets to get back up and run-ning as soon as pent-up demand comes back online. �is is short-term thinking. A

From idle to capacityWhat equipment manufacturers need to know as the oil and gas industry continues its uptick


proactive, future-focused mindset will be of greater bene�t to their business and the businesses of their customers if they start preparing now.

�ink about it this way, if a construction company is digging a pipeline for a multi-national company and a truck goes down due to a tire issue, the multinational’s bot-tom line is directly impacted. A proactive mindset, when it comes to maintaining tire assets, will largely help identify issues before halting operations.

At GCR Tires & Service, we focus on helping educate owner/operators and �eet customers on proactive tire maintenance in preparation for these types of upticks in demand.

Below are a few simple tire maintenance tips to keep in mind before heading out to a remote rig or jobsite:

1. Regularly check the in�ation pressure of all tires on all equipment, and ensure inflation pressure is set according to the tire manufacturer’s guidelines, with respect to equipment guidelines for the speci�c application.

2. Perform a visual and hands-on inspection for damage such as cuts, cracks, bulges and penetrations.

3. Ensure current tire assets have su�cient, matching tread depth across each axle for construction equipment and check dual tires for mismatched tread on oil and gas drilling equipment and other mounted equipment.

We also recommend that original equip-ment manufacturers check the serial number of o�-the-road (OTR) tires on idle equipment to ensure they have not aged beyond the tire manufacturer’s recommendations or warranties.

�ese recommendations sound simple, but they are often the most overlooked precautionary measures that can help equipment operators prepare for increased

demand, ensuring equipment is ready to hit the ground running as oil and gas production increases.

A trusted partnershipIn addition to following the above best

practices, having a trusted dealer and ser-vice partner makes a big di�erence when it comes to maintaining, managing and servicing tire assets. Dealers understand a good tire maintenance program is designed not only to address tires, but the customer’s needs and the site environment in which a tire must perform. By understanding the terrain and functionality required of each tire, operators and service providers can work together to create a tire maintenance program tailored to a company’s business objectives to help improve overall perform-ance and productivity.

Success starts with the right preparation. Scheduling time with a trusted dealer who can thoroughly inspect tires will ensure equipment always leaves the yard in the best condition possible. �is is a best practice that can prevent costly downtime and enhance productivity.




For about $50, you can now turn your oil cap into a telematics device.

Launched as the first of

its kind, Perkins announced its SmartCap — a low cost engine telematics device that supports mechanical and

electronic engines. �e smart oil cap, may be used on new and existing Perkins mechan-ical and electronic engines.

�e cap is paired with the Perkins My Engine app, al-lowing users to connect their mobile device to their engine.

“�e low-cost cap and free app are very simple to use. Also, the fact the cap can be �tted to any Perkins mech-anical or electronic engine in a matter of minutes and instantly provide engine telematics, will be appreci-ated by millions of Perkins end users,” said Michael Wright, general manager of Perkins Aftermarket.

�e app provides the user with engine running hours, engine location, service re-minders and service logs, start and stop data, parts book and consumables in-formation.

“The app was launched

at ConExpo in March and is already proving popular with customers, as it allows them to register their Perkins en-gine, access their operating maintenance manual and parts book,” Wright said. “A service record can also be kept, while the user can easily make contact with their local Perkins distributor, through the distributor locator fea-ture.”

Perkins My Engine is available for both iOS and Android. �e SmartCap will be commercially released in September at Perkins distributors and online at perkins.com/shop.

Perkins transforms oil cap into telematics device


Skyjack lifted artists from across the world to transform unused public spaces into vibrant art scenes, during the inaugural Sacramento Mural Festival.

During the week-long event, more than a dozen artists painted 14 murals on building exteriors throughout the city. By turning average buildings into public art, the festival helped activate the neighborhood and reuse vacant space, including former waste dumps.

“I love art and I saw the Sacramento Mural Festival as an opportunity to support art creation and local com-munities,” said Ryan Wilkey, regional sales manager at H&E Equipment Services (H&E), who spearheaded the company’s partnership with the festival. “It opens the doors to future cooperation between the industrial and art sectors.”

High artSome of the murals reached up to four storeys high,

making the projects difficult to complete without assist-

ance from mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs).“Most of the artists don’t have much experience oper-

ating a scissor or boom lift. Therefore, it was crucial that Skyjack lifts are easy to learn how to operate,” Wilkey said. “Artists enjoyed working on Skyjack lifts because it also improved their safety at heights.”

For the project, two Skyjack models were selected for the task: the SJIII 3219 electric scissor and the SJ46 AJ articulating boom. Both MEWPs are designed with Skyjack’s “simply reliable” philosophy and offer great flexibility and stability to the user.

With a working height of 25 ft., the SJIII 3219 is drivable at full height and offers 90 degree steering and zero inside turning radius, allowing the artists to navigate around the murals easily without lowering the platform. When the artists needed to work together on one mural, the SJIII 3219, with a maximum platform capacity of 550 lbs., could lift two people at the same time. Powered by 24V DC power source, the machine also has a long battery life

that helped increase outdoor work time and improved jobsite efficiency.

H&E is a national equipment company based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that operates in 79 location and 22 states.

As Skyjack’s long-term partner, H&E works closely with the Skyjack team to meet customers’ specific needs for a variety of projects, including the Sacramento Mural Festival.

“Skyjack is service and customer-oriented. Besides manufacturing high-quality machines, they are very responsive in solving high-access challenges for us and our customers,” said Wilkey.

The festival also served as an opportunity for both H&E and Skyjack to support community development.

“We’re delighted that we contributed to the success of the first Sacramento Mural Festival because at Skyjack we believe in supporting community values,” said Craig Truscelli, a territory manager for Skyjack.

By Dan PeltonTo recall the early 1990s is to remember a refrigerated economy cooling down from the overheated 80s.

Business was bitten by an overall decline in commerce and those involved in the forestry industry took an especially hard hit; construction slowed and there was an overall move to lessen the need for paper products.

At the time, it wasn’t di�cult to surmise that launching a forestry equipment business would be a tough task.

Yet, in 1992, visionaries went ahead and founded Tigercat in Brantford, Ont. It is now 2017 and the designer and manufacturer of forestry equipment and specialty o�-road industrial machinery is thriving and cele-brating its silver anniversary.

Tigercat was the brainchild of current CEO Ken MacDonald. At the time, he was running MacDonald Steel, a component fabricator for several established mobile equipment manufacturers.

He was joined by company president Tony Iarocci and his 20 years of experience in en-gineering, sales and marketing at Koerhing Waterous; a maker of pulp mill equipment and forestry machinery.

Iarocci admits there was skepticism re-garding the enterprise’s chances, but adds that forestry and heavy equipment manufac-turing has always been a cyclical business.

“�e fact that the economy was in a slump actually served as a motivator to embark on new ventures,” he recalls. “Ken MacDonald’s vision, the superior manufacturing capabil-ities of MacDonald Steel and my background in logging equipment were elements pointing to a high probability of success.”

Aided by MacDonald’s ability to fly his own airplane, the pair focused on the south-eastern United States, contacted numerous logging contractors and compiled signi�cant market research.

Iarocci said they identi�ed “an opportunity to provide loggers with a better drive-to-tree feller buncher.”

Consensus among the loggers was that this type of machinery was falling below their expectations; particularly in terms of mechanical reliability and longevity.

“We also met many prospective dealers and customers who were anxious to sell and use more productive and more durable equipment,” says Iarocci.

Tigercat addressed the loggers’ needs with the 726 feller buncher. Its virtues included an automatic variable speed that promoted fuel e�ciency and an automatic reversing cycle to more e�ectively purge dust and debris.

The 726 feller bunchers also garnered accolades for their fast travel speeds and overall productivity.

Still, bringing a strong product to mar-ket does not guarantee business success.

Potential customers will shy away, if they feel there’s an inadequate after-sale service system in place.

Fortunately, the good word about Tigercat machinery spread quickly and established dealer networks, which enthusiastically embraced the product line.

“News of the excellent performance and build quality of the �rst few machines spread fast” recalls Iarocci, “and this worked in our favour in attracting established equipment dealers throughout the southeast United States.

“�ese pioneering dealers helped us to address the support concerns of those �rst customers, and we have continued to de-velop an ever-broadening product line to attract the best dealers in the industry to support our customers around the world.”

Business enterprises that are continually successful have one thing in common. De-spite their accomplishments, they know they must always do better. Tigercat is no exception.

For example, the company expanded and strengthened its American market niche with the �rst serial production hydrostatic skidder in 1996, and the launching of a new knuckleboom loader the following year.

In 2017, Tigercat’s trend to a new and improved product line continues.

“Tigercat’s objective is growth,” states Iarocci. “We continue to add to our product o�ering by designing new models.”

He cites the prototype Tigercat 1185 Harvester; a heavy duty, premium quality, eight-wheel drive harvester designed for high production applications, steep slopes, tough terrain and demanding operating conditions.

“We will continue development of off road industrial machinery for specialized, niche applications in several industries including oil and gas, land development and construction and the utilities sector,” Iarocci said, “wherever mobile machinery is needed for challenging environments or severe duty applications.”

A pair of new HS 8100 HD Liebherr duty cycle cranes have found a home in Dor-chester, Ont.

With a focus on high pro-

duction, McCann Redi-Mix selected the HS 8100 HD in dragline con�guration spe-ci�cally for that purpose.

With increased winch size

and fuel-e�cient engine, the HS 8100 HD is the right addi-tion for the McCann �eet of four Liebherr dragline ma-chines.

To move the machines between the gravel pits, the HS 8100 HD is engin-eered for easy dismantling and reassembly, using the

self-assembly system. The system makes mobilizations extremely e�cient, accord-ing to Liebherr. As well, hand railings on the superstructure and boom walkways increase the jobsite safety and can be transported mounted on the machine.

�e new HS 8100 HD is the successor of the well-known HS 855 HD duty cycle crane. �e dragline crane is a 100 tonne class heavy duty cycle machine. �e new crane en-compasses the same bene�ts of the HS 855 HD, but is now equipped with larger 27.5 tonne line-pull winches and a more fuel e�cient 390 kW Tier 4F Liebherr diesel en-gine.

High flexibility and per-formance determine the application possibilities of the Liebherr heavy-duty cycle cranes. Whether used

with a dragline bucket, slurry wall grab or casing oscilla-tor, Liebherr claims the large-dimension diesel en-gines guarantees maximum performance.

Equipment such as oscil-lators and vibrators can be operated without addition-al power pack. Moreover, the powerful and low main-tenance free-fall winches are designed to fulfill high demands and afford effi-cient and safe operation. �e Liebherr HS series duty cycle cranes are specially de-signed cranes for heavy-duty cycle applications, through a high weight steel structure, to withstand the dynamic loadings and guarantee a long life. All components on the machine have a long-life span and high production performance, the company claims.

Since January, Alexander Greschner has been responsible for global sales, service, logistics and marketing in the executive board of Wacker Neuson SE. Greschner recently answered questions about key themes and market poten-tials for Wacker Neuson, Weidemann and Kramer.

The first half of the year in your new role as a member of the managing board is complete. What have you ex-perienced in this time?

�e �rst months in the new position were an exciting time with some important events, such as Conexpo in Las Vegas, the most important trade fair in our industry in North America, but also our customer and dealer events Wacker Neuson Universe and Kramer Expert Days, which were an excellent opportunity to speak with our customers and sales partners and get direct feedback from the market. Of course, I knew the area of construction equipment very well. I have used the last months to deal intensely with our compact machines. I have settled into the new role well and now it's time to get the priorities right.

What would you like to focus on?In the sales organization, my focus is very clearly on

continued growth in Europe, North America and China. �ese markets have very di�erent requirements and must thus be handled individually. In the �rst quarter, Europe did very well, driven by countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and Poland. France also had notable development. In Europe, we are focused on the continued market penetration and optimization of the network from our own sales companies, trading partners and large rental chains. In addition, we are paying a great deal of attention to the agricultural sector. �e European market for agri-cultural machines is recovering. �e expectations for most European countries are cautiously optimistic for 2017. We have just recently announced the strategic alliance with John Deere. �e agreement covers the sale of Kramer-branded compact equipment (known as the green line) for the agri-cultural market. �is range of products is developed and manufactured at the Kramer site in Pfullendorf, Germany, and includes all-wheel steered wheel loaders, telescopic wheel loaders and telehandlers, which John Deere will recommend to its strong network of dealers. �e collab-oration will initially focus on Europe, expanding later to the CIS countries, North Africa and the Middle East. �e co-operation is subject to the approval of the antitrust law authorities. With our Weidemann machines, in particular the Hoftrac, in individual European countries we are among the leading providers in the agriculture sector with com-pact and telescopic wheel loaders – and with a network of mostly una�liated dealers and sales specialists. Here we are setting our focus for the coming years on building up our success internationally.

In North America, we see a lot of room to grow after a di�cult year in 2016. We are planning to achieve double-digit growth in the region and expect a noticeable boost in our turnover and pro�t development. �e region was extremely strong in the �rst quarter of 2017, which is also due to the large trade shows Conexpo, ARA Rental Show and World of Concrete. We are expecting to bene�t also from the cautious recovery of the demand from the North American industry and the energy sector. Purchase orders from large rental companies who serve these segments have already been received. �e mood at Conexpo was very good, which is always an important indicator. We were able to welcome many interested visitors to our stand, initiate and close deals, and show our performance e�ciency with an impressive trade show presentation.

China currently is our biggest challenge. We have sig-ni�cantly increased the sales of our mini-excavators in a booming environment. With the construction of the new production plant in Pinghu, about 30 km from Shanghai, we are expanding our production capacities in Asia and strengthening our local presence in China. Compact excav-ators will initially be manufactured here while additional products will follow. It is planned to roll the �rst compact excavators o� the line in 2018. With these products tailored to the local market, �rst the Chinese, and later on the Asian market will be served.

Of course, our organization is also continuously working on expanding the market positions in traditionally import-ant regions, such as Latin America, Australia and Africa.

Which role do electric drives play, especially from the customer's point of view?

Electric drives are becoming increasingly important, also because they are increasingly demanded by the markets.

�ese solutions represent an interesting addition to products with combustion engines, especially for rental companies. �e sales �gures of our zero-emission solutions are notice-ably rising. �e zero-emission series currently includes two battery-powered rammers, the dual power excavator, an electrically operated track dumper, an articulated electric wheel loader and the �rst all-wheel-steered wheel loader with an electric drive from Kramer. Our aim is to o�er a real alternative as an emission-free solution in every product group in the foreseeable future. Currently we were able to increase the running time of both battery rammers AS30e and AS50e by 50 per cent by introducing a new battery generation, which has already proven itself very well in practice. �e battery-operated wheel loader WL20e has been available with a high-quality AGM battery (absorbent glass mat) since the start of the year. �anks to an on-board battery charger, the battery can now easily be charged with a cable at any power source, stationary or mobile. �is is very important, especially when operating the wheel loader

in everyday conditions on construction sites. �e Wacker Neuson Group will focus on electric drives in the future as well and continue to develop the existing series.

Mitch Salva, Budget Attachments and Parts

Purchasing a skid steer is often the �rst big investment for new landscaping owners. It’s an investment that, if done right, adds value and provides a quick return. However, the machine is only half the battle. �e right attachments are the other half. Here are the �rst �ve attachments every landscaping skid steer owner should purchase.

BucketMost of the time buckets are used to

transport dirt, sand, gravel and the like. Landscaping buckets are great for that, but also are designed to help grade and level land.

What to look for: When grading and level-ling, it’s important to see over the top of the

bucket from the cab. As a result, landscaping buckets have a low-pro�le design. It’s also important that the bucket sits level with the ground. Landscaping buckets do this by using a raised hitch plate. Lastly, teeth are added to landscaping buckets to help dig into the ground when grading.

When to buy: A landscape bucket should be your first attachment. Other options include rock buckets for heavy rocks and gravel; bulk material buckets for large material quantity and snow removal; and grapple buckets for tree limbs and logs.

How does this make money? �e savings on labour alone will provide a return on investment within a couple weeks of regular use. Combine that with the ability to grade and level, and it’s not hard to see the value a bucket adds.

Pallet ForksPallet forks are used for loading and un-

loading anything that’s too big to carry. �is means sod, seed, brick, concrete bags and the rest.

What to look for: You’ll need to know your machine’s make, model and capacity rating, although 48 in. forks are fairly standard. Speak with a salesperson, but always verify the forks are fully heat treated and built with steel capable of heavy usage.

When to buy: Get these when buying the bucket. �ese two attachments will do the majority of the work.

How does this make money? Potential workman’s compensation claims from heavy lifting aside, faster loading and un-loading means time saved. Having forks also gives you the option to add a variety of fork mounted attachments like booms, work platforms and more.

Auger DriveWhen paired with drill bits, auger drives

can make digging holes for trees, shrubs, post mounting and fence installation faster and easier.

�ey can save serious time and expand business capabilities. In addition, auger drives can �t other attachments including stump planers and cement mixers.

What to look for: Drives are simple. Get a planetary drive with a sealed gearbox for less maintenance and an increased lifespan. Look for a single piece shaft assembly to eliminate shaft pull out. Also, invest in a good set of bits as di�erent sizes are needed for di�erent uses.

When to buy: An auger drive isn’t neces-sarily a right-away purchase, as most holes can be dug by hand and shovel. However, it does make life easier and gets the job done faster.

How does this make money? Augers are a fairly simple way to save a lot of hard work and time if you �nd yourself often digging holes. This increase in efficiency makes expanding into new services like fence and post installation an easy decision.

Stump Planer�e stump planer attaches to the auger

drive and can easily remove stumps without the need to rent a costly stump grinder.

What to look for: �ese are also simple; just verify information with a sales rep.

When to buy: After purchasing an auger drive.

How does this make money? The cost of owning a stump planer is comparable to the cost of renting a stump grinder for about a week. If the need is to remove the occasional stump, a planer will provide tremendous value and save against un-necessary rental costs.

Cement MixerThe cement mixer can get where trad-

itional cement trucks can’t, by attaching directly to the auger drive. Cement mixer attachments are pretty straightforward to operate, just load cement mix and water, rotate the bowl using the auger drive, and pour cement as needed.

What to look for: Cement mixers use an adapter to mount to the auger drive. Make sure you have the correct mounting system for optimal performance.

When to buy: After purchasing an auger drive.

How does this make money? �e cement mixer will save time on smaller jobs like driveway or sidewalk repair, as well as small cement foundations and other jobs. Simi-lar to the stump planer, the cement mixer eliminates the need for rentals.

A partnership between CASE and Leica Geosystems has created a new machine control system for select M-Series dozers.

The new SiteControl CoPilot aims to bridge the gap between automatic and indicate-only systems and o�ers a cost-effective entry into 2D and 3D machine control technology.

The system is comprised of an inertial measurement unit, wiring harness and in-cab display. SiteControl CoPilot allows operators to set a desired slope/grade reference, and automatically hold that slope/grade without the need for lasers, masts or GPS, regardless of underfoot conditions. �is ability enables both seasoned and less-experienced operators to achieve and maintain a smooth surface, slope or grade throughout the work area.

Once the operator sets the slope/grade speci�cations, the system automatically adjusts blade position to produce a reliable and consistent quality surface, eliminating the need for additional passes and re-work, and reducing fuel and labour costs. An integrated in-cab display provides real-time data to the operator.

While the system provides many 2D system benefits without the need for masts, base stations or lasers, it may also be used as a building block for Leica 2D and 3D system upgrades as an equipment owner’s needs evolve.

�e SiteControl CoPilot system is available on 1150M, 1650M and 2050M M-Series dozers through CASE Certi�ed Precision Solution Dealers.

In celebration of Canada's 150th birthday, Lafarge Canada is a gold sponsor of Habitat for Humanity Canada's biggest build project in its history.

Habitat for Humanity's 34th Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project takes place in every province and territory across Canada. �e goal of the project is to build 150 homes, marking the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.

"Lafarge is proud to continue its work building better cities and communities by sponsoring the Jimmy and Rosalynn Cart-er Work Project,” said Bruce Willmer, vice president and general manager for Lafarge in Edmonton. "We support Habitat for Hu-manity Canada's important work because Lafarge believes that everyone in Canada has the right to a safe, a�ordable and decent place to live."

Since 1984,Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter have travelled to 14 countries with Habi-tat, to build and improve more than 4,000 homes. �eir time and e�ort helps to raise awareness of the critical need for a�ordable home ownership around the world.

Carter, a former United States president and his wife Rosalynn, visited Canada in mid-July, focusing their e�orts in Edmonton and Winnipeg. For the project in Edmonton, Lafarge donated ready-mix concrete and concrete paving.

�e Carter Place development in Edmon-ton will house 58 families.

“We are con�dent that our donation will add to the sustainability of Carter Place and will provide a safe and long-standing foundation for the homes as well as a highly durable pavement, which will minimize maintenance requirements," Willmer said.

For more than 20 years, Lafarge has sup-ported Habitat throughout Canada with donations of materials and volunteer. Of note, is the first NetZero energy precast concrete homes in North America which Lafarge built to bene�t Habitat for Humanity Edmonton.

Habitat Canada has a long history of creat-ing a�ordable housing opportunities. People living in Habitat homes not only help to build their own houses, they also pay a�ordable mortgages.

EQUIPMENT

FOCUS

�e electri�cation of underground mining equipment is at the forefront of a plan to reinvent the industry in Canada.

�e Canada Mining Innovation Council (CMIC) and the Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) recently led a joint letter of intent submitted to the federal Gov-ernment’s Innovation Superclusters Initiative.

On behalf of the mining industry, CEMI and CMIC proposed the creation of a clean resources supercluster called, CLEER (Clean, Low-energy, E�ective, Engaged and Remedi-ated). CLEER aims to transform the Canadian mining sector’s productivity, performance and competitiveness. While CLEER has al-ready raised $376 million from the private sector, the letter of intent asks the federal government to invest $185 million.

“�e CLEER Supercluster will help Canada become the leading supplier of sustain-ably-sourced minerals and metals the world needs,” said Pierre Gratton, president and CEO of the Mining Association of Canada. “�is is especially important in the transition to a low carbon future, which will only increase the demand for our products. �rough this project, industry and governments can be powerful partners in achieving this vision.”

Look to battery powerDouglas Morrison, president & CEO of

CEMI, explained “the big thrust” in equip-ment innovation is the advancement of battery-powered electric motors. Currently, batteries are capable of powering mining equipment for about two hours.

“Battery technology is becoming achiev-able, but it still has a way to go,” Morrison said.

�e main advantage of battery power is the ability to reduce heat and emissions created

by the current diesel engines, which in turn reduces the need for ventilation in the mine.

“Ventilation is probably the largest sin-gle-point cost for an underground operation, except for labour,” Morrison said. “It’s a misnomer that ventilation is for people to breathe. If we’re pushing air through to meet the needs of the equipment and remove heat, there’s more than enough oxygen left over for people to breathe.”

As mines in Canada continue to reach new depths, the power needed for ventilation increases. Morrison explained some gold mines in Quebec, for example, are reaching 9,000 ft. below the surface and the natural temperature is about 60 C.

“�at means a lot of ventilation has to go into bringing these temperatures down to 25 C or 30 C. �ese are di�cult conditions to be working in,” he said. “�e deeper you go, the hotter it gets.”

Transporting the diesel fuel needed to power equipment is another problem solved by electri�cation.

“�e logistics of these mines is very com-plex,” Morrison said. “Mines have to move a lot of diesel to serve the needs of their equipment. If you have electric drives, that’s not required.”

Existing incentive Gold mines have already been able to utilize

battery-powered machinery. However, the base-metal mine industry,

which moves up to 5,000 tonnes of material a day, is still awaiting e�ective electric tech-nology for their operations.

“Of course, their product is less valuable than gold, so the relative cost of energy for them is very signi�cant,” Morrison said. “It’s

much more di�cult to achieve the tonnages that are required for very large base-metal mines with the current level of technology for batteries.”

Smaller equipment manufacturers in Northern Ontario have already moved to-wards electric drives to serve the needs of gold mines.

“There’s a lot of desire from the mining companies view to move in that direction,” Morrison said. “How quickly the larger OEMs will be to respond to that demand, I don’t know.”

More D than R�e funding obtained through CLEER will

be used for research and development of new mining equipment technology. However, de-velopment and innovation would see a higher level of investment.

“�ere are certainly research pieces in the spaces of underground equipment and heavy equipment,” Morrison said. “But there wouldn’t be a lot of room for fundamental research.”

Successful applications to the federal program require the project to conclude in a �ve-year timespan. �e funding would be used to complete pilot projects of electric motors, full-scale underground trials and the �nalization of a market-ready product.

“�ere’s not a lot of time available to do research. The object of the exercise is to achieve a commercially viable outcome as fast as the �ve-year program,” Morrison said. “You really do need to have completed the research phase, convince yourself and others this really will work and then take it through the innovation process.”

CLEER focusA supercluster focuses on technical themes deemed critical to the mining industry. In collaboration with other mining companies, CLEER identi�ed these strategic innovation themes:Energy technologies: renewable energy generation and storage; mine electri�cation; battery-electric vehi-cles; ventilation; automation; sensors and sensor-based sorting; advanced comminution; and guidelines.Water technologies: water conserv-ation technologies; water treatment technology; and, water quality sensors.Environmental footprint reduction: mapping; land reclamation and re-mediation technology; and, sensors and sensor-based sorting.SMART Technologies: sensors; data analytics; pattern recognition; pre-dictive analytics; high performance computing; arti�cial intelligence; and, mine digitization and digital com-munications.

What is a supercluster? Innovation superclusters aim to “build a better Canada” by creating high-quality jobs, help businesses suc-ceed in the marketplace, and fostering stronger collaboration between the private, academic and public sectors.

The CLEER Supercluster is an industry-led, multi-stakeholder con-sortium comprised of four existing clusters, which combined, represent an initial eight resource companies, 12 post-secondary institutions, 42 small-to-medium enterprises and 25 other support organizations.

With the objective of growing the mining services and supply sector, the supercluster predicts the ability to stimulate investments exceeding $5 billion, improve industry productivity, initiate export pathways and create more than 100,000 jobs.

Nicolas and Serge Paquette, owners of Paquette Excavation & Renovation Inc. opened their doors in April 2017. Combined they have over 30 years experience in the industry. Their true passion for attention to detail for their customer’s jobs, and hard work ethic, made it an easy decision to open their own company.

Paquette Excavation & Renovation Inc. specialize in septic bed installation, foundation repair, grading/landscaping,

flooring installation, additions and decks in the Ottawa, Cornwall and Casselman areas. They proudly provide 24/7 service for their customers.

After renting Bobcat® machines at first, they quickly saw a better opportunity to take advantage of the super Bobcat lease program. It would be more lucrative to have their own instead of having to rent one and have someone else bring it to the jobsite.

“I have tried several different machines over the years but I like Bobcat machines the best. They are compact yet can load a truck, easy to drive, joysticks are sensitive but can also change it to less sensitive depending on operator, 2-Speed so it goes fast and more comfortable than any other brand. Can’t get any easier than a Bobcat machine,” states Nicolas.

“I called Bobcat of Cornwall and received

a call back right away from Marc-Antoine. Marc-Antoine is a great guy. Easy to deal with and very straight forward. He explained everything to me and I felt very confident

with him so I purchased a new Bobcat T595 compact track loader from him. Couldn’t be happier with his service.”

Thanks Nicolas.

Nicolas Paquette, co-owner of Paquette Excavation & Renovation Inc. poses with Marc-Antoine Castonguay, Sales Specialist for Bobcat of Cornwall.

Building on the legacy of its predecessor, the new Cat MD6310 blasthole drill is reaching new depths.

A key advantage of the machine is Cat Electronics, which delivers advanced troubleshooting for drill operation and scalable automation. �e building blocks include drill assist, semi-autonomous and remote-control operation. As well, Cat Elec-tronics o�ers machine health reporting to improve drilling accuracy, reduce fuel con-sumption and a lower total cost of ownership.

Ideal for 12- and 15-metre bench heights, the new MD6310 is application-built for e�cient single pass drilling down to 44.9 ft. or 57.4 ft., depending on mast con�guration. O�ering up to 30-degree angle holes for cast blasting, it is ideal for numerous mining ap-plications. Reaching deeper hole depths than the MD6420C, the MD6310 better matches speci�c drill and blast requirements when working with electric rope shovels or other loading tools that require a tall and steep muck pile. Standard on the MD6310 is a drill depth indicator, auto level and retract and auto mast, all of which contribute to cycle time improvement.

Technology equals accuracyCat Command serves as the MD6310

drill’s o�-board technology foundation and leverages remote and autonomous drill oper-ation. Scalable solutions allow operators to select the precise level of drilling automation to match operating needs. �e Drill Assist

option executes all major functions for single pass drilling which automatically adapts and adjusts drill power to match the ground conditions which streamlines the entire drill cycle and lengthens bit life.

Cat Terrain for drilling guides the drill for up to four times greater pattern accuracy to ensure every hole is accurately placed and drilled to plan. Furthermore, Cat Terrain’s logging function ensures all production is timed, mapped and recorded. Cat Terrain’s HP GPS allows accurate hole placement, as well as proper hole depth and angle.

The MD6310 offers semi-autonomous drilling of single row missions and remote control operation for remote operation mis-sions. One remote operator station allows an operator to manage drill operations and run up to three machines simultaneously.

How low can it go?In down-the-hole and rotary drilling for

soft, medium and hard rock applications, the MD6310 drills up to 12.25 in. hole diam-eters. When equipped with the 44.9 ft. mast, it delivers up to 65,000 lbs. pull-down and hoist capacity to drill hole depths reaching 205 ft. �e 57.4 ft. mast delivers up to 86,000 lbs. pull-down and hoist capacity for drilling hole depths to 157.5 ft.

�e drill also features angle drilling to 30 degrees from vertical in �ve-degree incre-ments. With its 14-degree approach angle for easy ramp access and loading, the drill boasts a Cat 349E EL excavator-type undercarriage,

equipped with either a 23.6 in. triple grousers for hard rock applications or 29.5 in. triple grousers for working in soft rock.

To function in a variety of extremes, the new MD6310 operates at elevations as high as 15,000 ft. and subzero temperatures reaching -40 C, when equipped with a cold weather package. It is powered by a Cat C32 ACERT Tier 4 Final engine that produces 1,018 hp at 1,800 rpm, or a Tier 2 equivalent engine producing 1,032 hp at 1,800 rpm.

Variable air control and dust collection�e MD6310 compressors feature variable

air control, adjustable to 50 per cent less volume to meet application requirements. Air �ow modulation, load sensing hydraulics and on demand cooling fans are all geared towards improving fuel e�ciency.

Water injection with tank capacity of 1,514 litres is standard on MD6310 and is integral to Drill Assist for collaring the hole and dust suppression while drilling.

A high-volume water injection system

is available with additional tanks for total capacity 3,785 litres. A 7,200-cfm dry dust collector with self-purging �lters and dust chute with a clean-out door is optional.

Drill in comfort�e MD6310’s new FOPS cab o�ers 30.1 sq.

ft. of �oor space and rubber shock-mounts to absorb mechanical drilling vibration. Joystick controls for all drilling functions and dual 10-in. colour touch screen displays are included to improve operator productivity.

A roof mounted HVAC system provides clean air and e�ciently cools or heats the cab.

Multiple drill cameras provide a full view of the pipe rack carousel/top drive operation and a 360-degree view from the operator’s seat to improve safety.

�e cab’s full-length driller window o�ers unobstructed view of the drill deck, while large cab windows surround the operator to improve work area visibility for safe machine movement.

Caterpillar’s new MD6310 offers technology, efficiency and productivity improvements

Better blast holes




One of the world’s largest gold mining companies is incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its Red Lake, Ont. operation.

For its exploration target-ing, Goldcorp Inc. is working with IBM to bring its Watson technology to the Red Lake gold mine —a first in the Canadian mining industry.

A number of Watson ser-vices will be used to analyze vast amounts of data, from drilling reports to geologic-al survey information. The data will help geologists determine speci�c areas to

explore next, reach high-value exploration targets faster, calculate geological models with more certainty and interpret the growing volume of data as geologists drive new discoveries.

"Goldcorp has always been focused on respon-sible mining practices," said Paul Harbidge, senior vice president of exploration at Goldcorp. "By coupling our exploration and mining ex-pertise with IBM Watson's cognitive strength, we will be able to make the exploration targeting process more e�-

cient, ultimately generating higher yields and creating less environmental impact. Geologists will be able to more accurately determine the next target, enabling our teams to locate undiscovered gold deposits that may have previously required multiple drills to �nd."

Earlier this year, IBM dem-onstrated Watson’s ability to support exploration at #Dis-ruptMining, an event held by Prospectors and Develop-ers Association of Canada (PDAC).

"�e ability of IBM Watson

to understand, learn, rea-son and interact will have a considerable impact on the Canadian mining industry by enabling geologists to make more data-driven decisions, faster," said Mark Fawcett, a partner with IBM Global Busi-ness Services. "In industries such as natural resources, where knowledge profes-sionals are working with a rapidly growing volume of data, Watson is helping to evolve how professionals operate, make decisions, drive value and gain a com-petitive advantage."

With AI systems like Wat-son, IBM says it is committed to using the technology to build Canada’s economy. �e IBM Natural Resources Solution Centre in Calgary demonstrates this com-mitment by offering an environment where business leaders from the petroleum and mining industries can explore solutions to speci�c business problems by sharing ideas and developing proofs of concept and pilot projects.

"�is is a strategic initiative for both IBM and Goldcorp," said Dariusz Piotrowski, director, IBM Cognitive & Analytics Solutions De-velopment. "We are taking the IBM's analytics platform tested and proven in the oil and gas industry and adapt-ing it to the mining industry, demonstrating that cogni-tive subsurface analytics can lead to performance en-hancement across the entire natural resources sector."

Goldcorp turns to AI for mine exploration




Pictured here in 2017, is an Eimco half-cubic-yard cap-acity Rocker Shovel at work during the Historical Con-struction Equipment Asso-ciation of Canada's Spring event, held at the Simcoe County Museum.

Powered by compressed a i r, t h e n a r ro w - g a u g e rail-mounted loader, pat-ented in 1937, was designed primarily for mine use, but was also utilized in tunnel construction where carbon monoxide posed a danger to workers.

�e Eastern Iron & Metal Corp. (Eimco), based in Utah, began producing their own mining equipment in the 1890s, eventually focusing on compressed air-powered units, such as this overhead mine loader.

�e Rocker Shovel has the ability to dig straight ahead as well as 30 degrees to each

side during the tunnel or mine mucking operation, and dumps overhead into the narrow-gauge muck car behind it. Operated while standing on the side platform as shown, it guaranteed a wet, dirty and dangerous shift for the miner.

�is unit was generously donated to HCEA Canada in 2009 by long time members, Roger and Charlie Matthews from Thornhill, Ont., and was restored to operational

condition by HCEA Canada volunteers.

To see more than 60 re-stored pieces of vintage construction equipment in action, be sure to attend HCEA Canada's 2017 annual 'Last Blast' event on Saturday, Oct. 14, held at the Simcoe County Museum near Barrie, Ontario.HCEA Canada is a Proud Community Heritage Part-ner of the Simcoe County Museum.

�e mining industry is turning to digitiza-tion in order to optimize productivity and pro�tability.

RCT’s latest Communications Solutions aims to assist the mining industry enter, expand or completely digitize its operations by integrating solutions to a new or existing network.

RCT claims the “point of di�erence” is its versatility with an extensive range of solu-tions for individual requirements.

“We understand that not every site is the same. So it was important that we can cater

to di�erent mine sites and their impending needs, while still being able to accommo-date any future developments,” said RCT’s automation and control product manager Brendon Cullen. “It’s the �exibility of our technology o�ering that allows us to integrate all pieces of equipment and systems to tailor to individual needs and our communications o�er is no exception.”

The Communications Solutions suite comprises of four o�erings: Analogue, RCT Bridge, RCT Connect and Integration. All four options add value for clients operating

Automation CLEER also aims to bring

automated equipment to market in an e�ort to elim-inate delays in production.

“ I f w e ca n au t o mat e equipment so it can con-tinue to run in between shift changes, for example, we won’t stop the drills from drilling,” Morrison said.

With mines reaching 9,000 feet below the surface, a shift change may equal up to four hours of lost production time, according to Morrison.

“If it takes two hours to get out, and two hours to get in, you’ve lost four hours out of 24,” he explained “Auto-mation would allow us to

reduce that loss signi�cant-ly.”

Next stepsIn May, the federal Min-

istry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, opened the application process for the Innovation Superclusters Initiative. �e 2017 federal budget has made $950 million available over �ve years to support a small number of business-led in-novation superclusters that have the greatest potential to accelerate economic growth.

At the end of August, a shortlist of applicants will be invited to provide their full submission. Funding an-nouncements are expected in early 2018.

Managing autonomous machines

autonomous machines on site, the company claims.

Analogue is the traditional, simple com-munication solution that allows for both analogue vision and autonomous machine control on a secure distributed antenna net-work. RCT Bridge acts as a stepping stone to full digitization by integrating with the existing analogue network on site to deliver larger volumes of machine data.

For the full-scale digital communications solution, there is RCT Connect, which will see RCT roll out a secure Wi-Fi communica-tion network from the machine’s work area to the operator control station to guarantee autonomous machine performance for existing and future loader and truck �eets.

For Integration with site network, RCT col-laborates with the customer to interface the technology into the existing digital network. Integration offers the ability to interface Long Term Evolution (LTE), underground Wi-Fi and mesh networks with �bre optics

or Ethernet infrastructure for surface or central control.

“�e adaptability of the Communications Suite empowers clients to make step-by-step changes, they don’t necessarily have to fully digitize their mine straight away,” Cullen said.

RCT’s Communication Solutions also aids real-time feedback and reporting to enable quick decision making, ensuring targets are met and machine maintenance is predictable to reduce unplanned downtime.

“Digital connectivity enables RCT to gather data pertaining to machine operating param-eters, meaning failures can be �agged before they occur and our service departments are able to remotely diagnose failures and assist with repairs if required.” Cullen said. “�e investment in digitization is justified by speci�c outcomes such as fewer breakdowns, decreased and unnecessary maintenance and improved safety for both machinery and personnel, reduced operating costs and increased productivity.”

Equipped with an automatic hammer, Little Beaver’s new geotechnical drill aims to eliminate user error, while o�ering easy operation of the machine.

According to Little Beaver, its Lone Star LST1G+HDA drill provides engin-eers and soil technicians with a precise and easy-to-operate drilling solution for standard penetration tests and soil sampling in nearly any soil.

�e drill was designed to address the growing demand for automatic hammers that deliver improved depth control compared to their manual counterpart.

�e LST1G+HDA comes standard with a 140 lbs. automatic safety ham-mer.

Small truck towing�e heavy-duty rig is mounted on

an easily manoeuverable, single-axle trailer that can be towed behind a small or standard sized truck.

“Automatic hammers help to ensure accurate depth control compared to manual hammers. �is has even led some states and jurisdictions to require automatic hammers for conducting standard penetration tests,” said Little Beaver President Joe Haynes.

“�e LST1G+HDA eliminates user error and makes it easy for drill oper-ators of any experience level to take

samples quickly and accurately.” �e LST1G+HDA is capable of drill-

ing 6 in. boreholes down to 100 ft. �e drill is also pairable with Little Beaver’s split spoon samplers and AWJ drill-ing rod for obtaining core samples or conducting geotechnical testing and environmental soil sampling.

Options for augersLittle Beaver offers several auger

options for various applications. Solid stem augers are available in 3 in. to 8 in. diameters and hollow stem augers are available in 6 in. and 8 in. diameters. �e hollow stem augers, which drill up to 60 ft., feature a 2.75- or 3.75-in. internal diameter for collecting sam-ples without the risk of contamination from surrounding soil.

�e drill’s standard con�guration allows for dry auger boring with the use of a solid or hollow stem auger. �e drill is also capable of mud rotary boring using an optional mud pump, swivel and bit.

To achieve and maintain ideal push-down force when drilling in challenging conditions, the drill’s by-pass �ow control system allows the operator to make simple adjustments.

Additionally, an optional anchor kit enables the LST1G+HDA to deliver push-down force up to 8,500 lbs., far exceeding the weight of the trailer.

�e drill is also capable of an 8,500 lbs. lifting capacity for removal of aug-ers and extensions.

�e hinged shuttle plate provides easy access to the borehole by allowing the operator to swing the rotary out of the way.

A 27 hp Kohler EFI gas engine pow-ers the drill, which includes a 3,000-psi hydraulic system.

�e drill’s 48 litre-per-minute hy-draulic power pack achieves a rotary speed of 100 rpm.

As well, the system provides the drill’s hydraulic winch with 1,500 lbs. of pull for raising the automatic hammer.

The 3,000 lbs. unit is mounted on a lightweight single-axle trailer, equipped with a 2-in. hitch, levelling jacks and spare tire.

For improved manoeuverability, Little Beaver o�ers a specially designed frame for mounting the unit to a one-ton �atbed truck.

The LST1G+HDA can be shipped fully assembled in a 20-foot container by standard truck or overseas. �e drill comes with assembly tools for fast and easy setup.

Lone Star Drills are an innovative addition to the Little Beaver product family, designed for convenience, powerful solutions in areas with min-imal resources for transportation and operation.

The Wildcats Stadium at the University of New Hampshire makes for an exciting scene, with the exception of one element: the announcer’s box.

Standing above the stadium like a stout linebacker, the dark blue structure was considered an eyesore by the university. Dubbed the “Blueberry” due to its colour, the building had to go.

Construction of a new athletic facility across the �eld from the box, and �eld house to which it was attached, prompted plans to demolish the Blueberry. University o�cials wanted to remove the unsightly structure and install handicap seating in its place. �ey hired general contractor Charter Brothers Construction for the quick-turnaround job, seeking to have it �nished in time for the fall football season.

Charter Brothers chose to subcontract the demolition portion of the project to EnviroVantage, a company with 30 years of experience in that industry. Scott Knightly, EnviroVantage owner and president, said one reason Charter Brothers selected them for the job was their Brokk 100 remote-con-trolled demolition machine.

“We do a lot of work on campus already, so we’re familiar with the area,” Knightly said. “In this case we also had a Brokk ma-chine, which really was the best and most cost-e�ective way to do this project.”

Knightly knew demolishing the box would require precision. �e Blueberry sat above locker rooms as well as aluminum stadium chairs that could be easily damaged by falling debris. �e rest of the �eld house con-tained a swimming pool, basketball courts and other athletic features. EnviroVantage needed to complete the job without dam-aging the surrounding area or disturbing or endangering summer students.

�e announcer’s box wasn’t going down without a �ght. �e Blueberry was heavi-ly-reinforced, including 12 in. thick concrete walls, �oors and ceilings, all strengthened with 1 in. diameter rebar. In addition, space inside was limited. �e box’s three levels were each 500-sq. ft. and only about 6 ft. tall.

“I’ve never seen so much rebar in my life,” Knightly said. “I knew we would have to work hard and use our most productive techniques and tools to get this project done on time.”

Game plan calls for a robotKnightly considered several demolition

methods for the project, but the location of the box, limited space and its composition made most traditional demolition methods nearly impossible. There wasn’t enough room for a crane or high-reach excavator to manoeuver without damaging the track or �eld. EnviroVantage also couldn’t use large, handheld pneumatic tools because of the risk of vibrations causing micro-fracturing in the main structure. Crews tried using chemical expansive demolition agents, but the method was ine�ective.

Knightly knew the most suitable option was to use the company’s Brokk 100 re-mote-controlled demolition machine to remove the structure. He knew pairing the machine with a concrete crushing attach-ment would minimize most of the noise and vibrations. �e machine also delivers more power than a worker with a handheld tool.

When demolition began, the project’s biggest snag happened almost immediately, putting the deadline in jeopardy. Knightly originally planned to build sca�olding and drive the Brokk machine to the top of the structure and demolish from the top down. However, he learned just a week or two into

the project that the concrete contractor required 30 days of curing time to com-plete the next step of the project following demolition. �e change cut a month out of EnviroVantage’s initial three-month sched-ule and made the original plan impossible. �e sca�olding would take two weeks to put up and another two weeks to take down.

“We tried to arrange for the sca�olding to be put up faster, but it just wasn’t going to happen,” Knightly said. “We had to �gure out something else. Fortunately for us, we had the versatility of the Brokk machine.”

Breaking in to break out�e plan changed from demolishing the

box from the outside to breaking in and destroying the structure from the inside out. Knightly would use the Brokk 100’s precision, power and compact size to chew into the structure.

�e demolition required special safety measures, as there was nothing above the structure to tie on to. Workers core drilled into the concrete and installed channel an-gles to be used as tie-o�s for crew members.

To prevent debris damage, crews placed double layers of plywood and tires below the structure to cushion the blow from falling concrete. In addition, workers bolted chain link fencing in front of the box to catch debris. EnviroVantage also placed a 35-ft. conveyor near the project to deliver material over the �eld house’s railing, down a chute and into a dumpster 25 ft. below.

Workers used small, handheld Hilti break-ers to remove the roof after completing the abatement. �e rooftop work was a slow-go-ing, hot process. Temperatures reached as high as 120 F.

With two and a half weeks until deadline, EnviroVantage moved in with the Brokk.

This required widening the announcer box’s doorway and climbing steep staircases to get to the top level, just below the roof. Crews built ramps to allow the machine to drive up the almost vertical staircases. �ey manoeuvered the Brokk 100’s three-part arm to help pull the 2,200-lbs. unit up at a 70-degree angle.

After it reached the third level of the box, EnviroVantage put the machine to work. �e B100’s 13-ft. reach, coupled with the Darda CC340 concrete crusher’s 37 tons of power, allowed the operator to demolish the majority of the walls around the machine. The contractor only used the machine’s breaker attachment occasionally to get at hard-to-reach corners.

“We were working seven days a week at that point, so productivity was key,” Knightly said. “It was unbelievable how easily the Brokk demolished the concrete, especially since the other methods we tried barely scratched it.”

After demolition of the top floor was completed, crews moved the B100 down a level and demolished the ceiling and walls. �ey then moved the machine outside the structure and continued demolition until the box was level with the top of the stands. Workers used concrete saws to assist the machine along the way.

�e remote-control operation of the unit kept workers away from safety hazards in-herent in demolishing a ceiling and reduced the risk of hand and arm injuries related to constant exposure to vibrations.

In the end, EnviroVantage �nished its por-tion of the project in 72 days of work. In all, they removed 105.8 cubic yards of concrete and rebar. �en, the next contractor moved in to prepare the demolished area to be turned into handicap-accessible seating.

Pound post after post, without losing powerEterra’s new PDX-750 takes advantage of tried-and-true concrete breaking technology in order to exert maximum force when driving posts.

The PDX-750 breaker style post driver builds upon industry-leading features of previous models, resulting in a fully-loaded post driving attachment for skid steers, compact track loaders and excavator post drivers.

�e driver includes a nitrogen-charged power cell, contained by Eterra’s heavy duty housing. The housing strength ensures maximum protection and dur-ability, allowing the PDX-750 to pound post after post without losing any driv-ing power or shaking loose and falling apart from the constant vibration, the company claims.

To increase versatility and provide

a variety of post driving options, the PDX-750 is available with an open-style, coned driver head that can accommo-date up to an 8 in. post. As well, the driver is available with a �at-cup driver head that includes an enclosed post guide and multiple eyelets. �e �at-cut driver includes four eyelet options for a wide range of post sizes, as well as an additional housing/guide that can han-dle odd or non-traditional post shapes.

�e design of the PDX-750 allows for easy transition from either driver head options. Both driver heads are made from 4140 treated, American-made steel.

The ability to quickly swap out the attachment’s driver head for a 5-ft. concrete breaker allows the PDX-750 to boast additional functionality and time-saving e�ciency. �e breaker tool

helps drive through excess concrete or rocky and dense soil that requires pre-driving.

As well, optional integrated tilt func-tionality is available with the PDX-750, which provides up to 15 degrees of angle for operators working in uneven condi-tions. �e tilt mechanism is compact, keeping the post driver close to the machine to utilize full weight of the machine when exerting downforce.

Innovative electrical control options ensure that skid steer and compact track loader users will be able to operate the PDX-750’s tilt function on any machine. Furthermore, Eterra’s mounting system allows for simple and easy bolt-on of excavator and backhoe couplers, making it compatible on a wide-range of heavy equipment.




Civil contractors in Alberta are now utilizing paperless data collection software to ensure accuracy.

Heavy civil construction management software provider B2W Software is working with Alberta-based Bluebird Contracting Services and the Trotter & Morton Group of Companies move towards paperless �eld data collection. �e companies are using B2W Inform to create and manage electronic forms and mine form data.

“With Inform, we customize forms for the speci�c information we need to capture, and we lead employees down a path to providing responses in a structured format,” said Scott Adams, the B2W systems specialist at the Trotter & Morton Group of Companies. “We take away opportunities for errors and make it easier to �ll out the forms by using drop downs, check boxes and data binding to our B2W operations.”

Bluebird Contracting Services provides a range of civil construction services across Alberta, including infrastructure and roads, earthworks and excavation, demolition, rail construction, underground utilities, remediation and environmental services.

�e Trotter & Morton Group of Companies o�ers site demolition and all aspects of con-struction, as well as ongoing maintenance.

Bluebird originally introduced B2W Inform for its paperless safety program, converting forms for weekly meetings, inspections and incident reporting. Improvements in e�ciency and accuracy, compared to paper-based processes, were immediate, according to Adams.

He added the delay in getting information

from the �eld about operations and safety is the largest liability with paper forms. �e lag time hampers responsiveness as well as strategic decision making.

�e structure, integrity and even the legi-bility of data on paper forms may also create problems.

Alerts & Notifications that are incident triggered is a key feature of B2W Inform and almost every form template at Blue-bird leverages the feature. For example, incident report forms can be built so that checking “yes” for an injury generates an instant, automatic noti�cation to speci�ed recipients, such as the safety o�cer and the executive team.

Adams believes having data from forms in an electronic format and accessible instan-taneously opens opportunities for analytics and reporting, and the company has steadily increased the creation of routine and ad-hoc reports.

“You’re not just �ling the paper, you can actually pull information together, analyze it and use it to improve safety and perform-ance,” he said.

With B2W Inform �rmly established for safety processes, Adams anticipates an expanded range of use within the other divisions of Trotter & Morton including inspection-related forms as well as quality and equipment inspections.

“�e value of Inform is supported by the fact that, as more and more people in our organization are exposed to it and use it, we’ve seen a continual increase in requests and ideas for using it in other areas and for new purposes,” Adams said.

The Jade StandardWhy should you choose Jade

Equipment as your supplier of motor graders?

Rightfully so, many customers over the years have asked, “Why should we choose Jade as our supplier of motor graders?” It is true that there are other suppli-ers, auctions, etc., some of them at less cost.The answer is that our “Jade Standard” multi-point inspection procedures provide whole-goods customers with a consistent quality benchmark for used motor graders, in particular, Champion and Volvo branded machines. Our inspection criteria are based on our thorough knowledge of original factory specs and test standards. Each of our “rebuilt” machines is built to these stan-dards. They are tested and in many instances, provided with warranty, to give our customers top value for their hard earned dollars.Of course, there is more to it than that. Our years in the factory and in the �eld give us unmatched insight into the true value of used machines, component as-semblies and parts. Before we ship used grader parts to our customers, each item is individually inspected, cleaned and evaluated for condition and serviceability.

Manitou Americas has launched its new EDGE Extreme Duty High Reach Tree Clip-per to its lineup of tree shear attachments for compact loaders.

The new tree clipper is a more rugged unit than the previous heavy duty model, according to the company.

It features extra-long upper and lower plates, adding strength to the clipper head, as well as two extra bars on the mount for increased stabilization.

As well, an easy release feature on the clipper head eliminates limbs and trees from wedging between the blades. The

self-cleaning side spacers also reduce daily maintenance of cleaning debris from the side of the blades.

�e new EDGE tree clipper advantages also include the ability to cut hardwoods with diameters up to 9 in., even at ground level. To ensure durability, the EDGE in-cludes self-centering T-1 tempered steel blades. Furthermore, the attachment comes with a wireless remote that includes a trans-mitter, receiver, battery, charger and steel storage box. �e required hoses, couplers, a solenoid valve and a valve guard are also standard with the EDGE.

Rugged with reach: Manitou announces new tree clipper




SnowEx has tweaked its Liqui Maxx spray system to increase durability, performance and user friendliness.�e system now o�ers an electric start for the gas-powered deluxe model.

As well, the customizable modular design of the Liqui Maxx allows operators to select a desired tank and pump platforms to �t speci�c needs.

�e Liqui Maxx is available in tank sizes from 1,135 to 4,730 litres.

�e elliptical polyethylene tank design provides a low centre of gravity and includes a sump for complete draining.

A �ltered bottom-�ll port can handle all brine solutions, the company claims.

Powered by a 5.5 hp engine, a new dry-seal centrifugal

pump has a low-water shuto� switch that prevents the pump from running dry. �is ensures long-lasting seal performance.

The cold-weather tested valve bank includes durable internal seals and covered valve indicators. For operator convenience and to help conserve fuel, an electric start for the HFD-200EX deluxe model allows users to start and stop the engine and operate the choke right from the cab.

New to the deluxe system is a hydraulic motor driven pump that includes a durable dry seal with low water control valve for run dry protection and a spool valve for consistent pressure and �ow.

Customers have a choice between two pump controls. �e standard control has three-zone spray capability with an on/o� toggle switch. With both the standard and deluxe controls, the driver-side, center-lane and passenger-side zones can be managed independently. �e deluxe model enables the sprayer to automatically adjust the �ow rate with speed input as needed. As well, GPS speed sensors are optional to calculate the ideal application rate.

�e Liqui Maxx has a 98-in. wide boom with all-polymer construction for superior corrosion resistance, as well as an easy clean-out system for the nozzles. �e boom comes standard with a 2-in. receiver mount, while an adjustable height receiver is optional. Spraying capacity ranges from 138 to 227 litre per acre, depending on vehicle speed.

Volvo’s new double drum compactors are boast-ing a 20 per cent increase in fuel e�ciency com-pared to their predecessors.

Able to perform in tight areas or the open road, the DD30B and DD35B asphalt compactors are ideal for driveways, small paths, patchwork and shoulders on roadways.

Both compactors provide up to 10 degrees of oscillation and 30 degrees of frame articulation in each direction. �e DD30B, equipped with a 49-in. drum width and the DD35B, equipped with a 54-in. drum width, o�er the versatility and stability to compact in con�ned areas, according to Volvo. �e fully-integrated TwinLock traction control and torque transfer system provides increased climbing capabilities, even on steep inclines or slippery surfaces by minimizing drum slippage.

“Their uncompromising power and fuel ef-ficiency, coupled with a range of productivity enhancing features, make these the best com-pactors we’ve been able to o�er in this size class to date,” said Bill Laing, product manager at Volvo Construction Equipment.

Automatic e�ciencyPowered by an advanced Tier 4 Final 49.6 hp

engine, the DD30B and DD35B produce high torque at low rpm for the right mix of power, fuel e�ciency and reduced noise. �e optional auto-idle feature, which reduces engine speed when controls are inactive for �ve seconds, helps to reduce fuel consumption and operating costs.

As well, passive engine regeneration does not require daily input to increase machine uptime.

With the auto-vibration feature, vibration is automatically engaged when the machine is moved out of neutral and shut o� when returned to neutral. �is prevents over-compaction and enhances ease of operation.

To optimize �nished pavement quality, each drum’s edges are chamfered and rounded to avoid marking the mat while rolling. Both machines also feature the automatic variable interval water spraying system, which provides uniform drum coverage and variable �ow to prevent material pickup.

Comfort and control�e Volvo DD30B and DD35B are packed

with design elements that increase operator comfort and control. �e pillar-less forward view and sloping engine hood design of-fers all-around visibility of the jobsite. As well, the design provides unobstructed sightlines to the drum and spray bars for rolling precision.

The ergonomic seat controls help operators keep an eye on the road and avoid fatigue. As the controls are con�g-ured in the same layout as larger double drum Volvo models, operators can in-tuitively control the DD30B and DD35B machines. For added convenience, the op-tional foldable ROPS canopy collapses without

the need for special tools, helping crewmembers transport the machine.

�e compactors are also designed to increase machine uptime. �e hinged hood allows for ground-level access to the engine and hydraulic components, enabling easy maintenance. Passive regeneration requires no daily input, and parked service regeneration is only required at 500-hour intervals. As well, the 300 litre water tank’s low positioning provides stability and provides easy refill access.

COMMITTED TO SERVICE EXCELLENCE SINCE 1976

Roadtec’s cold-in-place recycling (CIR) equipment makes it possible to repair damage to a roadway in one single pass, while reusing up to 100 per cent of the existing material.

�e CIR Additive System is used in the cold-in-place recycling of asphalt pavement in the repair and rehabilita-tion of asphalt-paved roads.

The system is used to transfer, measure and inject either emulsion or foamed asphalt to the cutter housing of the milling machine.

The additive is then thoroughly

blended with the milled material and transferred for paving.

According to Roadtec, the saving potential is likely signi�cant, not only through reuse of material, but also by reducing equipment requirements and through time savings.

�e CIR process removes a portion of an existing asphalt pavement by milling to a depth of 2 to 4 inches, and then repaving it with reworked asphalt-mix and additives.

As the name implies, cold-in-place recycling is accomplished without heat-

ing the asphalt mixture, before or after placement.

Depending on the structural require-ments of the overall pavement, and its intended use, CIR typically receives a wear course such as a chip seal or HMA overlay to complete the road before returning it to tra�c.

Single unit systems do not include a method of screening and crushing.

Mounted to the rear of the milling machine, the CIR Additive System is the same width as the mainframe of the milling machine.

ON THE MOVE:NEW HIRES, APPOINTMENTS & OTHER STAFF CHANGES

Caterpillar president set to retireAfter 30 years with Caterpillar, President

and Chief Financial O�cer Brad Halverson has announced he will retire from the com-pany in early 2018.

Halverson joined Caterpillar in 1988 as an accountant. In 1993, he moved to Gen-eva, Switzerland to become a strategy and planning consultant.

Halverson went on to work as controller in Europe, responsible for Caterpillar's �-nancial reporting in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

"As a second-generation Caterpillar em-ployee, Brad's roots began well before he joined the company, and on behalf of the extended Caterpillar family, I want to thank him for his many years of service," said Caterpillar CEO Jim Umpleby.

Halverson left Europe in 1996 and returned to the United States to manage general ac-counting and �nancial systems. From 1998 until 2002, he served as the chief �nancial o�cer (CFO) of Caterpillar's Engine Div-ision and was the director of Mergers & Acquisitions.

"Brad assumed the CFO role just as we faced an unprecedented downturn in our business,” Umpleby said.

“�e company undertook signi�cant re-structuring in response to the downturn, and Brad played a critical role in that process, helping the company maintain a strong balance sheet and good cash �ow.”

Prior to becoming CFO, Halverson served two years as vice president of the Finance Services Division, and before that position, he was the corporate controller.

“Brad also provided strong leadership for Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, which maintained strong �nancial metrics, including past dues, writes o�s and cred-it losses during the downturn," Umpleby added.

Caterpillar plans to begin a global, external search to �ll the CFO position. Halverson's decision to continue working into early 2018 aims to ensure a smooth transition for the position.

"I've had a great career with Caterpillar, and I'm blessed and fortunate to be in a position to retire and spend more time with my family – my wife Mindy, my children and grandchildren," Halverson said.

"I will remain active in community events and will continue to support the various Peoria area charities and organizations that are important to me and my family."

Halverson graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting in 1982, and

earned an Executive MBA in 1996, both from the University of Illinois. He is also a certi�ed public accountant (CPA) and member of the American Institute of CPAs.

As well, the outgoing CFO serves on the Sysco Corporation Board of Directors and is a member of the U.S. Chamber of Com-merce Board.

He also serves on the Dean's Business Council for the University of Illinois at Ur-bana-Champaign College of Business and the OSF St. Francis Medical Center Commun-ity Advisory Board. Halverson is Treasurer of the Easter Seals Foundation Board of Trustees.

In addition, Halverson is the Chairman of the Illinois High School Association State Basketball Tournament Steering Committee.
