The End Goal — Cleaner Air

Both Equipment Makers, Fuel Providers Want Seat at Regulation Table

Net-zero engine emissions is a construction industry goal, and everyone’s got ideas on how to get there. Sectors of the industry are taking respective stands on federal emissions rulemaking. They are pushing for more of a voice in the rulemaking process while driving the fed to work harder at setting policy that both makes sense and benefits the environment.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and its members “have aggressive goals to

Equipment manufacturers have made several recommendations to government policymakers regarding future emissions regulations, including to consider practicality versus investment. see EMISSIONS page 30

Caterpillar Crowns 2022/2023 Operator World Champion

More than 5,500 machine operators worldwide have been competing in the Caterpillar Global Operator Challenge since the spring of 2022, and now one of them has emerged as the “World Champion” — the best Cat construction machine operator on the planet.

On March 14, Patrick Doheny ofAustralia took the crown out of nine finalists from around the world who competed in the final round of the Global Operator Challenge in the Cat Operator StadiuminLasVegas.

Caterpillar’s year-long Global Operator Challenge is one of the largest construction industry events, with operators from nearly threedozencountriesparticipating. The Challenge highlights the amazing ways construction machine operators masterfully guideCatmachinesandusethelatest technologies to get the job done.

The second round in thefallof2022consisted of four regional events heldintheUnitedStates, Brazil, Spain and Japan. These competitions included digging a trench, loading a precise amount of dirt and hauling or maneuvering the machines through obstacles.

The third and final round this week in Las Vegas was the ultimate test of precision. Grouped into teams of three — Team Americas, Team EuropeandTeamAsia—thenine finalistscompetedindividuallyand as teams, as they faced three challenges in a specially constructed stadiumfeaturingstands,fans,bigscreen TVs and play-by-play announcers.

The finals kicked off with the “Fork‘nLoader”challenge,where each operator used the Cat 950 wheel loader with Payload technology to load and move material through specified locations on the course.

The “Backhoe Services” challenge had operators using both

endsoftheCat420XEbackhoeto open a small box and precisely place small objects inside. This challenge was designed by Jaus Neigum, the 2020 Caterpillar Global Operator Challenge World Champion, and highlighted Caterpillar’s Customer Value Agreementsandservicesofferings.

During the final “Trench Run” challenge, operators showed off their trenching skills using a Cat 315 excavator equipped with Gradetechnology.

Final scores were based on the operator’s skills, efficiency and competence in executing a variety

of tasks, with penalties imposed for errors. Awardsweregiventothe overall event champion, the individual with the lowesttimeineachskills challenge, and the team with the lowest combined score.

Del. Lawmakers Get $51.7M in Funding for Water Projects

Delaware’s Congressional delegation in Washington, D.C., announced on March 7 that it had secured $51.7 for critical water infrastructure projects in the state as a part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’(USACE) work plan for fiscal 2023.

The federal funding was sourced from several different Water Resources Development Acts (WRDA).

Sen.Tom Carper, along with fellow Democrats Sen. Chris Coons and Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester, each worked to get their state the money needed to improve several projects.

The largest part of the funding, $31.1 million, will go toward operations and maintenance work on the Intracoastal Waterway from the Delaware River to the Chesapeake Bay, including rehabilitation work on the 63-year-old Summit Bridge that carries Del. Highways 71/896 over the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal.

“Investing in Delaware’s water resources infrastructure is critical for maintaining a nurturing environment for job creation,” said Carper, who previously served as the state’s governor from 1993-2001. “As Chair of the Senate Environment and PublicWorks Committee, I have led the effort to provide theArmy Corps with robust resources and authorizations for this and other critical work. These projects will ensure the operation of our port and the navigability of our waterways, which are vital to the First State’s economic well-being.”

In a statement, Coons, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, explained, “From allowing commerce and recreation to flow along our rivers to maintaining our beautiful coastline, the [USACE] protects our

The largest part of the funding, $31.1 million, will go toward operations and maintenance work on the Intracoastal Waterway from the Delaware River to the Chesapeake Bay, including rehabilitation work on the 63-year-old Summit Bridge that carries Del. Highways 71/896 over the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal.

natural resources and our way of life here in Delaware, and I’m glad we were able to fully fund their projects in our state for fiscal year 2023.

“Protecting our infrastructure also supports our economy and improves our resiliency to the devastating effects of climate change as the nation’s lowest-lying state,” he continued.

“Delaware’s water infrastructure plays a critical role in helping to keep our communities healthy, our economy strong, and improve our quality of life,” said Blunt Rochester, who has served as the U.S. representative for Delaware’s at-large congressional district since 2017 and is the first woman and first African American to represent the

state in Congress.

“I’m proud to join Senators Carper and Coons to announce over $51 million in federal funding for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide them with the resources they need to invest in vital water infrastructure projects to bolster the impact of these projects across the First State.”

Beyond the effort to improve the Intracoastal Waterway from the Delaware River to the Chesapeake Bay, seven other public works are due to receive the federal funding:

• Annual dredging, operations and maintenance work in Wilmington Harbor ($10.5 million).

• Continuing efforts to perform needed dredging and do common operations and maintenance work in the Intracoastal Waterway from Rehoboth Bay to Delaware Bay ($7.5 million). This is in addition to the more than $4 million secured in fiscal year 2022 appropriations and from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

• Dredging activities in Cedar Creek, a tributary to Delaware Bay ($1.1 million).

• The Indian River Sand Bypass plant’s operations, maintenance and rehabilitation ($850,000).

• The Indian River Inlet’s common operations and maintenance work ($281,000), including a major maintenance report to help with the more than $43 million previously secured from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding.

• Delaware Navigation Channels will perform surveys to decide project needs and determine when shoaling may impact safe navigation ($225,000).

• Assisting USACE’s inspection of locally owned levees ($71,000). 

NJ Transit Unveils Designs for New Northeast Corridor Stop

A major endeavor that will bring a new transit stop to a growing community in New Jersey is moving forward as the firm behind North Brunswick’s new train station has unveiled the hub’s initial design.

Officials from the Middlesex County Improvement Authority (MCIA) recently revealed the aesthetic of what will become the North Brunswick stop along the Northeast Corridor line. The New Jersey State Legislature distributed $50 million for the project through the state’s transportation trust fund back in 2017.

Jersey Digs reported March 6 that the plan will use existing rail along NJ Transit’s busiest commuter line, which also hosts trains run by Amtrak. The future station is slated to be situated across from North Brunswick’s Main Street in a mixed-use development that includes Costco andTarget stores alongside a Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, and 100 townhome residences dubbed The Heights at Main Street.

Designed by New York City-based WSP USA, work on the North Brunswick Train Station will consist of three phases of engineering work plus the eventual construction of the facility. NJ Transit approved 10 percent of the conceptual design in February.

“Our residents have been anxiously

awaiting the new train station,” said North Brunswick Mayor Francis Womack after the reveal. “As the project progresses, it’s important to be as transparent as possible and keep the public engaged and informed.”

The complete realization of the North Brunswick Train Station is still a way off for now, according to Jersey Digs. The online publication noted that MCIA Executive Director James Polos recently said that the project is expected to go out to bid for construction by the end of 2025.

The train station will not only be a new Middlesex County stop along the Northeast

Corridor but will provide substantial relief to one of New Jersey’s busiest rail lines as well as reduce traffic along U.S. Highway 1 — a major thoroughfare — and attract new revenue to the region, the county noted on its website.

New Station Has Been Discussed for Years

The North Brunswick Train Station project was proposed as far back as 15 years ago. After its planning and discussion progressed, the state legislature allocated funds totaling $50 million for its construction through the

New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund (NJTTF) in 2017, allowing the effort to move ahead.

In late 2019, the MCIA was tasked with managing the project — a first-of-its-kind partnership between NJTransit and a county. Through a memorandum of understanding, MCIA is permitted to serve as the project manager overseeing the design and construction of the train station. In addition, the agreement states that MCIA will coordinate input from NJ Transit, AMTRAK, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), the North Brunswick Township developer, and Middlesex County.

Approval of the initial funding agreement with NJ Transit in October 2020 enabled MCIA to access the project funding, begin active management of the project, and start the process of hiring a design and engineering firm;WSPUSA’s brought its expertise to the project a year later, according to Middlesex County.

The conceptual location and configuration of the station platform was agreed upon by MCIA and NJ Transit in early 2022, and last summer the county’s improvement authority finalized and submitted the 10 percent conceptual design to NJ Transit, which gave its stamp of approval in February. 

Amazon Delays Construction Work On PenPlace, Its Second HQ inArlington

Amazon announced in early March that it was pausing construction work on its second headquarters in Northern Virginia following the biggest round of layoffs in the company’s history and its shifting plans around remote work.

The Seattle-based company is delaying the beginning of construction of PenPlace, the second phase of its headquarters development in Arlington, Va., Amazon’s real estate chief John Schoettler said in a statement. He added that the company has already hired more than 8,000 employees and will welcome them to the nearby Metropolitan Park campus, the first phase of the development, when it opens this June.

“We’re always evaluating space plans to make sure they fit our business needs and to create a great experience for employees, and since Met Park will have space to accommodate more than 14,000 employees, we’ve decided to shift the groundbreaking of PenPlace [the second phase of HQ2] out a bit,” Schoettler said.

He emphasized that the company remains “committed to Arlington” and the East Coast, which Amazon picked — along with New York City — to be the site of its new headquarters, known as HQ2, several years ago. More than 230 municipalities had initially competed to house the projects. New York won the competition by promising nearly $3 billion in tax breaks and grants, among other benefits, but opposition from a variety of groups led Amazon to scrap its plans there.

In February 2021, the company said it would build an eye-catching, 350-ft.-tall Helix tower to anchor the second phase of its redevelopment plans in Arlington. The new office towers were expected to welcome more than 25,000 workers when complete. Amazon spokesperson Zach Goldsztejn said those plans have not changed and the construction pause is not a result — or indicative of — the company’s latest job cuts, which affected 18,000 corporate employees.

The layoffs were part of a broader cost-cutting move to trim down Amazon’s growing workforce amid more sluggish sales and fears of a potential recession.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently said the company would require corporate employees to return to the office at least three days a week, a shift from the prior policy that allowed leaders to make the call on how their teams worked. The change, which will be effective May 1, has ignited some pushback from employees who say they prefer to work remotely.

Goldsztejn said the company is expecting to move forward with pre-construction work at the Arlington site later this year, including applying for permits. He noted that the final timing for the second phase of the project is still being determined.

State Not Yet Worried About AmazonÊs Decision

In its March 3 report, theAssociated Press noted that when Virginia won the competition to land HQ2, it did so less with direct incentives, and more with promises to invest in the regional workforce, particularly a graduate campus of Virginia Tech that is under construction just a couple of miles from Amazon’s under-construction campus in Crystal City.

Still, there were significant direct incentives, according to the AP. The state promised $22,000 for each new Amazon job on the condition that the average annual worker salary for those new jobs is $150,000. Those incentives were about $550 million for 25,000 projected jobs.

Arlington County also promised Amazon a cut of its hotel-tax revenue on the theory that hotel occupancies would increase significantly once Amazon builds out its campus. That incentive, projected initially at about $23 million, is dependent on how many square feet of office spaceAmazon occupies in the county.

Suzanne Clark, a spokesperson of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, told the AP that state officials are not concerned about Amazon fulfilling its commitments. The total of 8,000 workers now employed at the new headquarters is already running about 3,000 ahead of what was

SodusBayBreakwall to Get Much-Needed Repairs Via Funding

Winter is the quiet season in upstate New York’s Sodus Bay, a place known mainly for what happens in the summer.

“We draw people from all over the northeastern United States,” said Tim Habecker of Krenzer Marine. “They come here for wonderful summer recreation.”

Along the largest freshwater bay on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the protection of the villages of Sodus Point and Huron, on opposite sides of Sodus Bay, also has become a major issue.

“It’s unique both for its beauty and for its protection,” said Don Riling, president of Save Our Sodus, told Spectrum News in late January. “So, if the lake has 12-ft. waves on it, you can sail here in [Sodus Bay].”

Now, however, the 50-year-old breakwall protecting Sodus Bay is crumbling and has taken on the appearance of Swiss cheese.

“If you look along the whole wall, the area straight ahead of us is among the worst,” Sodus Point Mayor Dave McDowell pointed out to a Spectrum News TV reporter. “When you’re up close you can see right through it.

He added that the deteriorating wall is the only buffer between a raging winter lake and this summer hot spot.

“Without that protection, we would all be [living in] a lakeshore community and the property here just cannot survive that,” said Sodus Point resident Kristy Fowler Ritter. “If it [collapses] and we have a big northeast storm, this part of the village is gone,” noted McDowell. “These walls will not hold up to the waves that the lake generates.”

N.Y. Senator Secures Funding for Breakwall Repairs

Despite that gloomy prospect, however, the good news is that help is on the way.

expected at this point, she said.

She added that no incentive money has been paid out to Amazon.

In a statement, Democratic U.S. Rep. Don Beyer, who represents Arlington’s district, called on the company to “promptly update leaders and stakeholders about any new major changes in this project, which remains very important to the capital region.”

Arlington County Board Chair Christian Dorsey said it is unclear how long the delay might be but called the news “not really disappointing” since officials there had initially projected the buildout to be completed by 2035. Amazon had previously said it planned to complete the project by 2025.

“Amazon is still very much committed — as we understand it — to certainly fulfilling all of their plans and obligations within the window that was envisioned when they struck the deal to come here,” he explained to the AP.

Dorsey shared that Amazon gave him advance news of the pause in construction before releasing the information to the public. He said the company did not provide a reason for the delay, but it was not too difficult to guess that it was tied to economic uncertainty.

“They are really trying to take a pause and think about this consciously,” he noted, “and make decisions that not only make sense in light of current conditions but expected future conditions.” 

In early January, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York announced $20 million in funding for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to make critical repairs to the breakwall protecting homes and businesses around Sodus Bay in Wayne County, capping years of effort on his part.

The USACE and state officials have said the repairs are most needed on damaged sections of the east breakwall to ensure the bay, the channel and shorelines are adequately protected, according to the Finger Lakes Times in Geneva, N.Y.

“I visited Lake Ontario in the wake of far too many floods that devastated the homes, businesses and families of the community, and promised I would not stop fighting until … Sodus Bay received the funding it desperately needed to restore its aging breakwalls and barriers,” Schumer said. “This $20 million is the down payment Lake Ontario communities have desperately needed to make critical repairs ... to stop devastating floods like those that have been plaguing the [area] for years.”

He added the USACE’s Buffalo District will now complete project design and scoping at Sodus Bay, followed by the repair of more than 1,000 ft. of crumbling sections of the breakwall.

The bay is a “critical harbor of refuge” and home to a U.S. Coast Guard auxiliary station, Schumer said in a statement, and called the town of Sodus Point an “economic engine for the region.” He noted it is home to approximately 50 charter boats and five boat launches, and generates $9.5 million in

After five days of a plethora of innovative product launches and major company announcements, enlightening education sessions and seemingly infinite networking opportunities, ConExpo-Con/AGG & IFPE 2023 came to a close Friday, March 18, 2023, but not before taking the construction industry to the next level.

According toAEM, the show crushed expected attendance numbers, drawing more than 139,000 construction and fluid power professionals from 133 countries to Las Vegas from March 14-18, 2023, making it the largest trade show in North America with more than 2,400 exhibitors from 36 countries spread out over 3 million sq. ft. of exhibit space.

“The innovations in the construction industry unveiled this week will play a role in helping construction professionals drive meaningful and sustainable economic growth,” said Phil Kelliher, Caterpillar senior vice president and ConExpoCon/AGG show chair. “Live events in the construction industry are very important, because you can see, touch and experience the products. That value was reaffirmed this past week across the show floor.”

This year’s show emphasized how the construction industry is evolving in many ways to adapt to sustainable technologies, products and practices. Show attendees were treated to sustainability in action, from electric- and hydrogen-powered construction equipment, to more recyclable materials and waste reduction opportunities.

One of the biggest sustainability efforts on the part of ConExpo-Con/AGG directly is a partnership between the show and theArbor Day Foundation. ConExpo and theArbor Day Foundation will be planting more than 139,000 trees, one for every show registrant in a forest of greatest need.

Additionally, ConExpo exhibitors, attendees and fans of the show can contribute to theArbor Day Foundation’s funds, allowing it to further its goal of involving itself in its mission of planting, nurturing and celebrating trees around the globe.

The show also featured a wide range of educational opportunities, including 190 expert-led sessions on topics such as construction safety, equipment technology and sustainable building practices.

AnnouncementsatConExpo2023TradeShowinLasVegas

“The success of ConExpo-Con/AGG & IFPE 2023 is a testament to the resilience and strength of the construction and fluid power industries, which has continued to adapt and innovate despite the challenges of the past three years,” said Marcia Klein, treasurer of Casappa Corp., and show chair of IFPE. “We’re proud to have provided a platform for industry professionals from around the world to connect, learn, and discover new solutions for improving their businesses and the world we build.”

After the difficulties faced since the previous time the industry gathered for the show in 2020, attendees and exhibitors expressed excitement to see the return to normalcy. One of those individuals is 89-yearold Leonard McCurley. McCurley has attended the show for the past six decades and is a true ConExpo veteran.

Raised on a farm in Michigan and working in construction his whole life, McCurley has found the show to be a home away from home throughout his adult life. He attended his first show in 1963 and has made it back to each and every one in the 60 years that have followed.

“There are so many interesting people I’ve talked to; it’s an education just to talk to all of them,” said McCurley. “I think everybody that is around heavy equipment should go to that show.”

ConExpo is a family reunion of sorts for McCurley. Several of the companies he has worked for in the past have booths at the show, and he looked forward to reconnecting with their representatives whenever and wherever he possibly could during the week.

In addition, his own children and grandchildren were in Las Vegas attending the show. However, McCurley recalled his fondest memories of attending ConExpo were with his wife in years past.

“She went to every show with me when she was alive, and she really enjoyed them, too,” he said.

Now that he has made it to this year’s ConExpo, McCurley said he has nothing but love for North America’s largest construction trade show and would like to attend the show moving forward for as long as it makes sense for him to do so.

McCurley said it’s impossible to attend six decades worth of see CONEXPO page 32

Massive Concrete Pour to Set Wheeling Parking Garage

For downtown commuters in Wheeling, W.Va., the eyecatching spectacle of the new $12.3 million Market Street Parking Garage has been impossible to miss, and the construction site was abuzz with even more activity than usual when a massive undertaking unfolded on the job site.

A 20-hour continuous pouring of concrete was slated to take place to install the base from the ground level to the first deck of the structure that will become a six-story parking garage once completed, the Wheeling Intelligencer/NewsRegister reported.

City Manager Robert Herron said this phase of the construction — one in which about five football fields worth of concrete will be poured — promises to be a considerable undertaking.

“It is required because of the nature of the construction of the parking structure, [and] it all has to be poured at the same time,” he told the Wheeling City Council at its last meeting. “Cables will be put into the cement as they go.

Herron told the Wheeling news outlet that although the site would be busy with activity throughout the day, the pour was expected take place without too much disruption to residents, businesses and commuters in the downtown area. Fully loaded trucks would enter the work site at 11th and Chapline streets to deliver the concrete on the east side of the property away from the regular flow of downtown traffic.

“The pour will be for the transition from the ramp to the first elevated level of parking,” Herron explained. “It is the area above the retail commercial space. There is a significant amount of shoring there.”

Motorists passing by the construction site can see the

structural supports for the parking garage that were installed in recent weeks.

“The parking structure on Market Street is moving along nicely,” Herron added. “It is on schedule for the most part. There were some [problems] with a generator that needs to be delivered, and it may be a little bit late, based on supply chain issues.”

The expected completion date for the new downtown parking structure is slated for Oct. 1.

Pittsburgh’s Carl Walker Construction is the general contractor for the new parking garage, which is designed to encompass approximately 300 spaces, charging stations for electric vehicles, bicycle parking, fully automated parking payment systems, and 10,000 sq. ft. of street-level retail and commercial space. Besides its public parking, the building also is likely to be dedicated to space for tenants of the future Historic Wheeling-Pitt Lofts.

The Intelligencer/ News-Register noted that when the parking garage is complete this fall, the structure’s facade should blend with the exteriors of Wheeling’s other existing downtown business district buildings.

Another Market Street Project Moving Forward

On another matter, Wheeling city officials said despite concerns over the apparent lack of visible activity, Ohiobased Coon Restoration’s work on transforming the 12-story former Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel headquarters on Market Street into a revitalized apartment complex with lower-level retail space is still moving forward. Building owner John

Johnson of Access Infrastructure LLC and developer Steve Coon have committed to bringing the long-awaited $30-million-plus project to fruition.

The newspaper was told that the building has been cleared of its contents and its interior gutted to prepare for the rehabilitation. 

Common GroundAllianceAnnounces ‘50 in 5’Industry Challenge

Common Ground Alliance (CGA), the national nonprofit trade association dedicated to protecting underground utility lines, people who dig near them and their communities, issued its “50 in 5” industry challenge to stakeholders with a goal of reducing damages to critical underground utilities by 50 percent in five years.

According to CGA’s Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) Report, the annual rate of damages to buried infrastructure in the United States has remained stagnant for most of the last decade and costs the U.S. a staggering $30 billion every year.

Each of the hundreds of thousands of digins to underground utilities that occurs annually has the potential to cripple communities and businesses by cutting them off from critical services, cause injury or even loss of life.

CGA’s “50 in 5” challenge aims to address damages to the Nation’s critical assets head-on by bringing damage prevention advocates together around a targeted set of strategic, data-driven priorities. The “50 in 5” call-to-action encourages the damage prevention industry to concentrate on three focus areas that prioritize critical issues identified by CGA’s Next Practices Initiative and the top damage root causes that contribute to more than 76 percent of damages to buried

infrastructure (according to CGA’s most recent DIRT Report):

• Effective and consistent use of 811: Despite DIRT data and market research which indicate that 811 awareness is very high — particularly among professional excavators — 60 percent of damages to underground utilities are caused specifically by professional contractors not contacting 811 prior to digging. CGA is unveiling a refreshed 811 tagline and animated logo this spring, which will join a new video series and other outreach tools that damage prevention advocates can use to implement behavior change campaigns around 811 usage.

• Key excavator practices (potholing, maintaining clearance, etc.): Potholing (test holing) to confirm the location of buried utilities and then maintaining the required clearance around those utilities, along with miscellaneous improper excavation practices, are key steps for protecting the integrity of underground infrastructure. Targeted and consistent excavator outreach around these two CGA Best Practices (5.19 and 5.20) could dramatically reduce damages to buried infrastructure. CGA’s Next Practices Initiative also highlights damage reductions achieved by operators who contractually

compensate excavators for potholing.

• Accurate, timely utility locating: CGA’s Locator White Paper and the work of the Next Practices Initiative reveal that improving the accuracy of facility maps and implementing electronic white-lining would help locators complete their work more quickly and accurately. Efforts like a Minnesota coalition’s pilot program to make 811 ticketlevel facility map visualizations available to locators and other 811 system end users have the potential to increase locating efficiency, among other systemic benefits. Decreasing over-notification practices utilized by both contractors and facility owner/operators themselves would also help decrease overall 811 request volume so locators’ workloads are more manageable.

“The Common Ground Alliance’s damage prevention stakeholders have worked diligently to make communities safer by reducing dig-ins — but we are now at an inflection point as an industry,” said Sarah K. Magruder Lyle, president and CEO of CGA.

“I encourage every stakeholder to meet our ‘50 in 5’ challenge and commit their organizations to making bold choices and investments as we look to cut annual damages in half by 2028. With the massive fund-

ing authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the pace of current construction activity, now is the time for the industry to seriously examine how we can make the next dramatic reduction in annual damages and protect critical infrastructure.”

“The CGAboard of directors felt strongly that the industry must commit to taking concrete steps to significantly reduce damages to underground utilities,” said Josh Hinrichs, chair of CGA’s board and president of UtiliSource. “We must focus on taking damage prevention to the next level in order to keep our communities safe and connected to the utilities we depend on every day.”

With National Safe Digging Month set to kick off in April, CGA will be releasing a variety of new tools and outreach materials in line with the “50 in 5” call-to-action. The annual DIRT Report will continue to be the industry’s primary gauge of annual damages, and data and metrics collected by CGA’s Damage Prevention Institute will also help inform key interventions and strategies for damage reductions in the coming years.

AEM Wants Fed to Consider ‘Practicality Vs. Investment’

EMISSIONS from page 1

improve air quality and reduce the impact of climate change,” said John Somers, association vice president of construction & utility.

Meanwhile, the diesel fuel sector wants to lead the charge toward an immediate impact in emissions reduction and is touting bio- and renewable fuels as a means of achieving just that.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently adopted a comprehensive program to reduce emissions from nonroad diesel engines.

The agency is integrating engine and fuel controls to gain the greatest emission reductions.

“To meet these Tier IV emission standards, engine manufacturers will produce new engines with advanced emission control technologies,” EPA said. “We have also adopted requirements for in-use diesel fuel to decrease sulfur levels by more than 99 percent.”

The FedÊs Expectations

The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires every U.S. engine and motor vehicle to meet a set of emission standards and conformity requirements.

“Anyone wishing to sell an engine or vehicle within the United States must demonstrate compliance,” said the EPA.

That includes off-road equipment manufacturers, many whom are members of AEM.

Engine emissions regulations are among the most important and impactful requirements placed on off-road equipment, maintains the association. The rules affect engine performance, research and development, design, safety and cost.

“The most recent Tier IV update drove significant changes, including modernized electronic engines and aftertreatment for many power categories.”

EPA intentionally set progressively more stringent emission standards for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

The agency said it realizes that to reduce mobile source pollution, not only for vehicles, engines and equipment, but the fuels they use also must be addressed.

“We have set sulfur standards for gasoline, on-road diesel fuel and nonroad diesel fuel.”

The effort depends on extensive collaboration between EPAand manufacturers, state and local governments, transportation planners and the public.

“This integrated approach to mobile

source emission control is responsible for greatly reducing mobile source air pollution during the last 30 years,” said the agency.

“EPA expects the progress to continue, even as people drive more miles and use more power equipment every year.”

Industry Makes Its Case

AEM maintains that for decades manufacturers have invested time, effort and resources into supporting engine emissions reductions updates. But certain emissionreducing features are pegged as so onerous that end users choose to illegally modify their rigs to disable technology.

The Diesel Technology Forum (DTF) is part of a nationwide campaign to discourage tampering with diesel engines.

“It is essential that the equipment is properly fueled and maintained in accordance with manufacturer specifications,” said Allen Schaeffer, DTF executive director.

He noted manufacturers have invested billions of dollars over the past 20 years to reduce emissions. The campaign is ramping up as a number of state legislatures are considering right-to-repair or fair repair legislation affecting contractors.

New laws would require manufacturers to provide repair shops and customers access to engine computer scan tools and proprietary codes for repairs.

“These provisions open the door to dangerous modifications of the engine emissions control system and its components,” believes the DTF. “And, under interpreta-

tions of EPA regulations, manufacturers could also be held liable for providing a ‘defeat device.’”

The device allows end-users to circumvent engine/machine performance inhibitors related to emission controls. In late 2020, the EPA reported on the uptick in tampering of diesel engines and emissions controls via software modifications.

Although EPAdid not quantify tampering in off-road engines, it believes the activity “occurs within most or all categories of vehicles and engines.”

It is a crime to knowingly falsify, tamper with, render inaccurate, or fail to install any “monitoring device or method” required under the CAA, noted DTF.

News outlets have reported about pickup truck owners “tuning” their engines to higher performance levels through software code programming or chipping, said the forum.

“These practices have led to some publicized, highly visible and offensive incidents where engine programming changes enable pulses of over-fueling.”

That results in dense smoke coming from the exhaust, a practice often referred to as “rolling coal.”

Owners must properly fuel and maintain the engines and equipment, as well as ensure that these systems are not tampered with, he continued.

“We all need to educate equipment owners, independent repair shops and legislators to put an end to this dangerous and illegal practice.”

As important, said Schaeffer, is working

“to make sure it isn’t facilitated through unnecessary, so-called ‘right to repair’ or ‘fair repair’ legislation.”

He believes the legislation is bad for air quality and jeopardizes the safety of the operator and anyone on the roads with these vehicles and equipment. For its part, AEM and its members have made several recommendations to policymakers as they consider future emissions regulations.

First, the group wants the fed to consider practicality versus investment when it comes to new policy.

“Consider how the cost-effectiveness of new requirements will influence the adoption of new products in the marketplace,” urged AEM.

The group wants policymakers to consider the impact on a myriad of types of equipment.

“Consider the impact of new regulations on various equipment types, including smaller and low-volume equipment.”

Avoid overly prescribed regulatory requirements that overlook new processes and technologies. Some of these cutting-edge technologies can contribute to the whole emissions reduction picture, noted AEM.

The association looks for the creation of purchase incentives for end users to accelerate new equipment and technology adoption.

They ask the feds to also “provide credits to manufacturers for developing new emission reduction technologies.” AEM wants to see collaboration in the development of harmonized engine emission regulations.

“Provide five years of lead time and a transition program for manufacturers when introducing a new technology-forcing emissions standard.”

Implementation of technology-neutral, performance-based standards is another request of AEM and members.

“And avoid overly stringent requirements that will compromise engine capabilities, fuel economy and equipment productivity.”

Finally, AEM asked the feds to set standards that do not require engine system packaging and changes to avoid costly redesign and impact safety features.

“The last round of engine emissions regulations taught AEM and equipment manufacturers many valuable lessons,” said Somers.

Those lessons include “the inherent cost and complexity of transitioning an entire industry to a new emissions Tier.”

They also taught the value that time and customer feedback can provide manufacturers and regulatory officials, he added.

Many Ways toAdapt to Sustainable Technologies, Products

Community Revitalization Grant Program Now Open

Kubota Tractor Corporation announced its continued commitment to its dealers, customers and local communities with the launch of its third annual Kubota Hometown Proud grant program, a revitalization program aimed at providing much-needed support for cities, counties and nonprofit organizations across the country.

This year, Kubota once again will invest a total of $600,000 in community grants, initially comprising of $100,000 in each of the company’s operating regions, to help build, shape or grow five local projects. Additionally, each of the five winning projects will be put to public vote inAugust for a chance to receive the Kubota Community ChoiceAward and an additional $100,000 grant.

“We are thrilled to announce the third year of the Kubota Hometown Proud grant program, which is all about contributing to revitalization efforts that matter most to the communities our dealers serve and where our customers and employees live and work,” said Todd Stucke, Kubota Tractor Corporation, senior vice president of marketing, product support and strategic projects.

“In the past two years, we have awarded $700,000 cumulatively to projects and people who are making sustainable impacts for the future of their communities — from building agriculture centers and barns, to supporting community gardens and vocational farming programs — which is exactly what our hard-working equipment is built for.”

National Support for More Local Resources

Each dealer in Kubota’s 1,100-strong dealer network strives to give back and Kubota is helping to further bridge their local relationships by connecting national grant resources to important community projects that make significant local impact. The program is now accepting applications for a chance to bring home funding to your community.

All municipalities and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are invited to enter a community project located within a 50-mi. radius of an authorized Kubota dealer for consideration.

How to Enter

Applying is an easy, three-step process:

• Step One: Visit KubotaHometownProud.com between now and March 31, 2023. An authorized officer or employee with the legal authority to act on behalf of the municipality or registered 501(c)(3) organization can enter.

• Step Two: Fill out the online application form to tell us about a community project in need.

• Step Three: Upload project photos and organization information, then click ‘enter.’

That’s it!

After the application period closes on Friday, March 31, 2023, all project entries will be reviewed, and Kubota will select five winners, one from each of Kubota’s five operating regions, to each receive a $100,000 grant. Then, fromAug. 1 to 14, the public is invited to visit KubotaHometownProud.com to cast a vote for one of the top five winning projects. The community project with the highest number of votes will be presented with the Kubota Community Choice Award and will receive an additional $100,000 grant. Every vote cast serves as an entry into a sweepstakes for a chance to win a Kubota zero-turn mower or sub-compact tractor.

To be considered, all grant application submissions must be entered by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status organization or a city, town, or other municipality. The project must be within a 50-mi. radius of an authorized Kubota dealer to qualify. Organizations who have entered before can enter again; however, previous winners are not eligible. 

Diesel Fuel Industry Eyes Lead Role in Reducing Emissions

“With its knowledge of the way work is done, AEM is well-equipped to take a leadership role in communicating [our] position regarding future rulemakings.”

Diesel Producers Speak Up

The diesel fuel industry wants to lead the charge in reducing emissions right now and is pushing the benefits of bioand renewable fuels.

The DTF sponsored an evaluation of various approaches to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions. The study, focusing on medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, found

“considerable” advantages when using renewable biofuels.

The study compared advanced diesel technology with electrification in 10 Northeastern states that follow California’s vehicle emission regulations.

“Accelerating fleet turnover and use of renewable and biodiesel fuels can deliver benefits that outweigh those from EVs in the region,” said Schaeffer. “Advanced diesel technology is more effective, more affordable and most importantly more available than others.”

He pointed out that transitions to new energy sources still have considerable uncertainties and longer timeframes to implementation.

“Advanced diesel technology, as well as renewable and

biodiesel fuels, are key available solutions that can deliver big impacts today.”

The “considerable” benefits of using low-carbon renewable bio-based diesel fuels becomes clearer from this analysis, according to the Forum.

“Fueling the diesel vehicles in the study with 100 percent renewable diesel resulted in three times larger cumulative GHG reductions than the EV scenarios.”

Electrification for the transportation sector is overly simplistic, said Gary Yowell, automotive engineer of Stillwater Associates, which conducted the study.

“There are significant, less expensive and more available emissions reduction strategies, which can enable greater reductions more rapidly.”

The research also highlighted impacts of advanced diesel versus electrification strategy on regional air quality. It found that replacing pre-2007 vehicles, which lacked diesel particulate filters with advanced technology diesel vehicles provided the largest particulate matter (PM) reduction.

“This is due to new-technology diesel engines’98 percent PM reductions compared to EVs’95 percent PM reduction,” he said.

Replacing a diesel medium- and heavy-duty vehicle with an EV, on an annual miles driven basis the nitrogen oxide (NOx) benefit is diminished, found the study.

That’s because EVs are generally deployed on shorter routes and have a shorter range than a diesel vehicle, with approximately 87 percent of the mileage on a daily basis.

“Given this mileage difference, NOx emission reductions for a fleet transitioning to EV will be less than the businessas-usual turnover from older-generation diesel to advanced technology with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems that reduce NOx by 98 percent,” said Yowell.

In cumulative conversion cost, turning over a fleet of 10,000 vehicles to EV costs more than three times higher than that of new-technology diesel vehicles.  CEG

TextIn celebration of International Women’s Day, familyowned premium workwear brand Carhartt announced the Spring 2023 recipients of its bi-annual “For the Love of Labor” grant program that dedicated this latest round of grants to award critical funding to organizations that work toward placing women in skilled positions.

After receiving hundreds of applications earlier this year, Carhartt awarded its Spring 2023 round of grants totaling $225,000 to seven U.S. nonprofit organizations that support women in the trades: ANEW, Building Pathways, Chicago Women in Trades, Nontraditional Employment for Women, Oregon Tradeswomen, Tradeswomen Inc., and Vermont Works for Women. This year’s Spring 2023 grants are part of the brand’s ongoing commitment to empowering the next generation of America’s diverse workforce.

“Women are an important part of Carhartt’s history — and our future,” said Linda Hubbard, president and COO at Carhartt. “This round of grants means so much more to us than just funding.Advancing women and other diverse audiences is a fundamental part of our goal to create a more inclusive, equitable workforce and this grant program is just one way Carhartt is evolving to support the next generation of workers. By backing these like-minded organizations, we’re providing fulfilling job opportunities and helping pave the way for women who want to work with their hands.”

First introduced in in August 2022, Carhartt’s For the Love of Labor grant program was founded to support community-based nonprofit organizations that educate, train and place workers into meaningful skilled trade jobs that are critically needed across the country. With this round of grants focusing on supporting organizations that train women, following is overview of the organizations awarded grants for Spring 2023:

• ANEW (Tukwila, Wash.) — The oldest, continuously running pre-apprenticeship program in the nation, ANEW is committed to improving the access and advancement of women in non-traditional career pathways such as construction and manufacturing.

• Building Pathways (Boston, Mass.) — Founded by the Greater Boston Building Trades Unions, Building Pathways is dedicated to the recruitment, retention and advancement of

under-represented groups in the union building trades, including women, people of color and other under-served communities.

• Chicago Women in Trades (Chicago, Ill.) — Ensuring all women who want to work with their hands and earn a good living have equal access to information, training, and employment opportunities in the industry, Chicago Women in Trades has been supporting, advocating, and training women in the Chicagoland area for the past 40 years.

• Nontraditional Employment for Women (New York, N.Y.) — Through innovative training programs, Nontraditional Employment for Women prepares women for nontraditional careers that provide structured career pathways to the middle class and economic independence, ultimately enabling women to achieve economic self-sufficiency.

• Oregon Tradeswomen (Portland, Ore.) — Helping transform women’s lives by building community and putting women on a path to economic independence, Oregon Tradeswomen offers empowerment, training, career education, advocacy and leadership development in the skilled trades.

• Tradeswomen Inc. (Oakland, Calif.) — Founded in 1979, Tradeswomen Inc. was one of California’s first organizations for women in the trades, and continues to be one of the most active and effective organizations in the nation focused exclusively on the needs of women in the skilled trades.

• Vermont Works for Women (Winooski, Vt.) — Working to promote economic justice, Vermont Works for Women is a statewide nonprofit that has been advancing gender equity and supporting women and youth at every stage of their career journeys since 1987.

While applications are accepted year-round, the next formal call for submissions will be announced later this summer, with grants being awarded in celebration of Labor Day 2023. Eligible organizations must be a U.S.-based 501©3 designated organization in recognized apprenticeship industry1 that has established programs serving at least 100 individuals annually.

Alta Helps L.A. Quarry Meet Growth Challenges

L.A. Quarry, located in La Fargeville, N.Y., has been serving the north country of New York State with crushed limestone, sand and topsoil for the past 25 years. The company prides itself on its friendly, fast — sometimes the same-day— service to contractors, municipalities and local homeowners.

A family-owned business, the company has been in the Thompson family for three generations, having originally purchased the property from Lane Construction back in the early ’60s.

The family has deep roots to the soil in Jefferson County, not only being in the aggregate business but also having a fivegeneration history in dairy farming. The last several decades have presented a challenging climate for the family-owned dairy farmer and recently the family decided to divest itself of the cattle.

Unlike the farm, the quarry has experienced a period of strong growth. Some major projects are developing in the area and future growth is expected. L.A. Quarry has always prided itself on running a lean operation and offering competitive prices.

Keeping up with the challenges of a growing quarry means having the right durable

earthmoving equipment that’s up to the task.

L.A. Quarry and the Thompson family have made a significant investment in a fleet of Volvo equipment that it purchased from Alta Equipment. Its fleet includes a Volvo L220 wheel loader, a Volvo L180 wheel loader, a Volvo EC380 excavator, a Volvo

EC250 excavator and a Volvo ECR88 excavator. The Volvo EC380, the largest of the three excavators, is used primarily to feed the crusher. The two other excavators, a model EC250 and a model ECR88, are used primarily for picking smaller rocks around the quarry. L.A. Quarry also recently pur-

chased a used A40 hauler.

Jerry Thompson, one of the principals of L.A. Quarry, speaks fondly of his two Volvo wheel loaders.

“They get very heavy use in our operation. We use them not only to feed the crusher, but also for loading trucks and for stockpiling. The machines have proven to be very reliable for us. Reliability is important, but additionally, they have saved us money with their efficiency. They have a unique bucket design, which actually allows us to have a larger payload, which really pays off when we are stockpiling. Obviously, the fewer trips you make the less fuel you are consuming, and the machines actually operate at a lower RPM, which means lower fuel consumption in general.”

The loaders are equipped with Volvo’s exclusive “Load Assist,” which includes an on-board weighing system. This system lets the user know if they are loading the optimum amount of material; no more relying on intuition. It also offers a tire pressure monitoring system that allows operators to check the condition of tires without leaving the cab.

handrails, fly wheels, and more, exemplifies the rugged durability and time-tested nature of the equipment EagleCrusherhasbeenmanufacturing for more than 100 years, and will allow Eagle Crusher UltraMax horizontal shaft impactors (HSIs) to stand out even more.

Eagle Crusher manufactures a complete line of heavy-duty impact crushers, portable crushing and screening plants, jaw crushers, cone crushers, and hammermills. From the company’s roots pioneering the first, all-welded, steel frame jaw crusher, to innovating Eagle’s line of HSIs, producers can count on Eagle Crusher to meet their toughest recycle concrete, asphalt, aggregate, and sand and gravel applications.

Astec Industries Debuts New 5710E Horizontal Grinder at ConExpo 2023

AstecIndustriesisdebutingitsnewest Peterson horizontal grinder today at ConExpo-Con/AGG in Las Vegas.

The 5710E is particularly suited for land clearing operations or other applications where mobility is desired. The horizontal grinder is equipped with several features designed to improve efficiency and help operators reduce material handling costs.

Michael Spreadbury, product manager of Astec, said, “We are excited to reveal the 5710E at ConExpo and have the opportunity to demonstrate the innovations we’ve made to an already strong design.”

The 5710E features a larger rotor that can accommodate a greater number of grinding bits.

“The new rotor is 8 percent larger and 19 percent heavier than the previous model,” said Spreadbury. “More mass means more grinding power.”

To keep up with this improved power, the screening area also has been increased, to allow for greater through-

put. Additionally, the grate change process has been simplified. While weight and size have been increased where it counts, the machine is lighter overall.

“In our redesign process, we’ve examined how to maximize efficiency and simplicity at each stage of the

grinding process,” said Spreadbury. “You see that from the rotor to the screens, and even in the new compression roll cylinders, which offer better downforce to help process material as it is fed to the rotor.”

TOMRA Recycling Sorting opened a second test facility at its headquarters in Germany to meet growing demand for material trials. The company now operates one test center each for waste and metal sorting applications at the same location.

From Feb. 28 to March 2, TOMRA welcomed industry partners, customers and media representatives to celebrate the opening of a second test center at its headquarters in Mülheim-Kärlich, Germany.The event took place within the framework of the company’s Integrator’s Conference. More than 200 participants from 26 countries joined the two-day event and enjoyed a diverse conference and event program.

Onthefirstconferenceday,participantslistenedtonumerous presentations detailing the company’s strategic direction, including one held by TOMRA CEO Tove Andersen. The second day focused on the extension of the test facilities that marked another milestone in TOMRA Recycling Sorting’s long-term goals.

“With more stringent legislation and higher recycling targets, the demand to recover recyclables from waste is at a record high and so is the demand for our sorting solutions and material tests.We’ve observed this situation over the last few years and came close to our test capacity limits in Germany. We had to act to ensure the best service for customers and partners,” said Fabrizio Radice, VP and head of global sales and marketing at TOMRA Recycling Sorting.

Previously, TOMRA’s test center incorporated both its waste and metal sorting solutions and is one of eight facilities operated at seven locations worldwide. They give recyclers and plant operators the unique opportunity to test their materials on TOMRA’s advanced sorting machines before making an investment.

“Apart from the increasing demand for tests, we are continuously developing new sorting systems that are all installed in our test center. In the last few years, we have introduced multiple new products into the market and will rolloutmoreinthefuture.Thus,weneededtomakesurethat wehavesufficientspaceforourgrowingportfolioanddecided to invest in an additional building,” added Radice.

TOMRA itself will use the extra space for the development of innovations that can be extensively tested and optimized by specialized teams on-site. The company conducts approximately 650 customer and internal trials each year and

anticipates the demand to grow in the future.

The decision to extend capacities entailed another important change. Ralph Uepping, VP, head of technology at TOMRA Recycling Sorting said, “Until recently, we’ve combined both metal and waste sorting machines in one area. Now, each test hall will be dedicated to one segment only. While waste sorting trials are done in the first established facility, the focus of the new facility is on metal sorting.”

TOMRA’s new X-TRACT, FINDER, and COMBISENSE, as well as a soon-to-be released machine for advanced aluminum sorting, have been installed in the new facility.

TOMRA’s metal sorting systems recover recyclable metals from mixed metal streams and enable plant operators to create the purest material fractions, such as furnace-ready aluminum.As the industry strives for sustainable production and a reduction of CO2 emissions, the global demand for recycled metals continues to surge and so does the need for accurate material recovery and processing.

TOMRANow Has Test Centers for Metal, Waste SortingApps

“We have a long legacy in the metal industry, but, given current market trends and our customer’s requirements, we will concentrate even more on this area in the future.Withourexpandedtestcapacitiesand the most advanced technology, we are wellequipped to support the industry in processing higher volumes and reaching the required qualities,” said Radice.

While the new facility allows the companytoplaceastrongeremphasisonthemetals segment, waste applications continue to play an equally important role. The original test center started as a mobile test station in Andernach, Germany, moved to MülheimKärlichin2009,andsteadilygrewinsophistication. Today, it offers 16,146 sq. ft. for waste sorting trials. The test possibilities range from the recovery of recyclable polymers from mixed and source-separated waste streams to flake sorting, the separation of wood by material type and many more.

Also, deep learning technologies, as a subset of AI, are part of TOMRA’s product portfolio and can be tested in different sorting tasks. Available as a complementary solution to its core technologies, deep learning is a future-forward tool that helps improve sorting performance by detecting previously hard or impossible-to-detect materials.

Summarizing the advantages of the new test center setup, Uepping said: “All our products are installed and can be tested in a complete circuit. Together with our expert teams, we can simulate the entire sorting processwitheddycurrents,magnets,screens and a ballistic separator. This allows us to demonstrate the importance of material pre-

treatmentanddefineprocessesthatarestable and economically viable even with changing input streams.”

The rationale behind the expansion was extensively explained during the three-day conferencethattookplacebothatTOMRA’s German headquarters as well as in a hotel nearby to combine theory and practice. On the first conference day, participants listened to numerous presentations to learn more about TOMRA’s strategy, new ventures, its digital offerings including deep learning, as well as its approach to customer service. On the second day, it got more practical on-site. After a presentation held by Tom Eng, SVP and head of TOMRA Recycling Sorting, to explain the evolution of the site in MülheimKärlich, the management team guided the participants to the new facility to cut the ribbon and declare the new building opened.

Divided into different groups, the conferenceattendeeswereguidedthroughtheplant and saw live demonstrations for numerous applications. The tour was rounded off by presentations that emphasized howTOMRA and its technology support maximizing resource circularity in the plastic, metal and wood industries.

The opening of a new trial hall as well as the conference set the stage for TOMRA’s growth ambition, its commitment toward stakeholders and its mission to enable a world without waste. Customers and partners are invited to take the opportunity to work with TOMRA’s experts to specify the most suitable sorting solution for their requirements.

Expanded Range of CatAttachmentsAdds Versatility

Caterpillar announced a range of new Cat attachments available for backhoe loaders and mini excavators, increasing application versatility for these machines.

Rugged and reliable, the new models span the range of demolition and sorting grapples, multipurpose grapples for Cat Tiltrotators, vibratory compactor plates and cold planers.

Expanded Demolition, Sorting Grapples

Expanding the Cat demolition and sorting grapple line, the new G306 and G308 models are specifically designed for 5to 6-ton and 7- to 10-ton mini hydraulic excavators respectively. These new models excel in waste, recycling and heavy-duty material handling applications where precise material placement is required. With open and close functions controlled by the machine’s first auxiliary function and rotation head handled by the second, these grapples deliver fast and productive material handling with 360-degrees of bidirectional rotation, according to the manufacturer.

A slim design makes it easier to get into tight spaces, and material capacities range from 0.21 cu. yd. with the G306 to 0.31 cu. yd. for the G308. Vertical perforated shelves offer high wear resistance, positive penetration, good load visibility and easy positioning, while the oversized heavy-duty cylinder with load holding valve delivers constant clamping force, even when maneuvering the grapple or machine.

Providing reliable operation with low maintenance intervals, the swing bearing features a single-ball heavy-duty, internally driven design. For longer life, the weld-on base edge design is made of HB500 Brinell equivalent material and bolt-on cutting edge (BOCE) from high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel.

A First for Cat Tiltrotators

The first hydraulic attachment expansion for the Cat Tiltrotator (TRS) product family, the new Cat G206 and G208 multi-purpose grapples expands the grapple technology in combination with the TRS6 and TRS8 models for 5- to 10-ton mini hydraulic excavators. These models allow maximum maneuverability with TRS attachments, and an integrated bracket provides minimal offset to optimize performance of grapple functionality.

With the G206 sized for 5- to 6-ton excavators and the G208 for 7- to 10-ton models, these multi-purpose grapples deliver 14.5-kN (3,260-lbf) and 18.4-kN (4,136-lbf) maximum closing force respectively. An integrated cylinder load holding valve maintains grapple closing pressure with no leakage, while the hard-mounted piston accumulator maintains grapple arm closing forces with shifting loads.

Optimal routing of the integrated jumper lines and hoses safeguards against damage and dirt infiltration for long-term reliability.

The grapple design is optimally matched to the tilt rotate

system, and the rotation of the TRS allows for quick and easy material engagement. To avoid any bending torques in radial direction, these grapples feature a welded box structure. With grapple arms and arm edges built with AR450 steel, the arm offers high abrasion resistance for longer wear in extreme conditions.

Performance-Matched Vibratory Compactor Plates

Caterpillar expands its Cat vibratory plate compactor line with the new CVP28 and CVP55 models and relaunches its CVP16 and CVP40 compactors with new design enhancements. Well suited for the compaction of soil, sand, gravel and asphalt, the compactors’flexibility delivers lower invest-

ment and maintenance costs for contractors engaging in residential, commercial and industrial work.

The Cat CVP range is performance-matched to Cat machines, covering all backhoe loaders and excavators ranging from the Cat 302.7 to the 313. They offer compaction widths from 12 in. to 26 in. and compact areas ranging from 2 sq. ft. to 5.7 sq. ft. at vibration frequencies from 33.3 to 40 Hz (2,000 to 2,400 vpm). Delivering best-in-class performance, optimize compaction frequency combines with force to drive material particles close together for solid, stable compaction, according to the manufacturer.

Their heavy-duty steel frame delivers maximum power to the ground. Rubber mounts isolate vibrations from the compactor attachment, minimizing vibration feedback to the rest of the machine. The high efficiency gear-type hydro motor is vibration driven for consistent, reliable power. The design’s access cutouts are laser cut for easy access to hardware when mounting the top bracket. The compactor is simplified with standard auxiliary hydraulics.

Expanding the flexibility of the CVP range, post and plate driver attachments bolt to the bottom of the CVP28 for specialized applications. All models can be equipped with a backfill blade to help spread out material in the ditch prior to compaction, and a swivel mount rotates 90 degrees in each direction to minimize machine movements.

Milling Precision

Designed for small paving jobs in residential and commercial applications, new Cat cold planers deliver economical restoration of asphalt and concrete surfaces. They efficiently mill imperfections prior to resurfacing and remove deteriorated pavement and traffic lane stripes.

Offering a working width of 13.8 in. and 5-in. maximum milling depth, the new PC35 is designed for operation with side-shift backhoe loaders and 5- to 6-ton mini hydraulic excavators. The new Cat PC45 replaces the PC404 with its 17.7-in. cutting width and 6-in. cutting depth and is ideal for use with backhoe loaders and extends the planer’s compatibility to 7- to 10-ton mini hydraulic excavators.

The cold planers come standard with a cut depth indicator, giving the operator a quick view of set depth. Delivering consistent depth control, milling depth is manually adjusted and locked in. Their heavy-duty gear motor provides high torque and efficiency across the speed range, while a hydraulic relief valve limits pressure to the motor for increased longevity.

Helping to maximize productivity, a standard pressure gauge provides feedback to the operator to allow for ground speed adjustments. Simplifying operation, the PC35 and PC45 reuse existing hammer lines and are equipped with drum center and width indicators.

A Century of Innovation: Kenworth Turns 100 in 2023

Throughout the last century, more than 1.3 million trucks have hauled goods across the United States and Canada roadways with the Kenworth badge on the grill.

In 2023, Kenworth begins a year-long celebration, commemorating its 100th anniversary and contributions to the transportation industry.

The history of Kenworth began in 1923 when Harry W. Kent and Edgar K. Worthington incorporated the Gersix Motor Company as Kenworth. The company name was formed from a combination of letters from the founders’last names while the world-renown Kenworth “bug” logo originated from the K in Kent and W in Worthington.

That first year, the small Seattle truck manufacturer produced 78 six-cylinder, gasoline-powered trucks. Since then, Kenworth has produced more than a million Class 5 to Class 8 models, and super heavy duty trucks, like the C500 6x6 with its gross combination weight rating of 1 million pounds. Kenworth also is now producing medium and heavy duty battery electric vehicles.

“Kenworth’s storied history over the past 100 years provides much to be proud about. From being the first U.S. truck manufacturer to offer a diesel engine as standard equipment in 1933 to selling Kenworth trucks with an electric powertrain today, it’s been quite a journey,” said Kevin

Baney, Kenworth general manager and PACCAR vice president.

“We’re also especially proud of our leadership in truck aerodynamics with the Kenworth T600 introduction in 1985. That model began the revolution in fuel-efficient trucks and its evolution has tremendously advanced in the new flagship T680 that sets industry standard today in truck aerodynamics.”

Kenworth’s success and staying power in a competitive business can be traced back to a philosophy established early in the firm’s history. The goal was to build the right Kenworth truck for each customer’s application to get the job done and build that truck to last. That philosophy, which continues to be true to this day, resulted in Kenworth establishing a solid reputation for its quality, innovative and durable trucks driven by modern technology.

“Kenworth has remained true to its core values since its founding,” said Baney. “We’ve achieved many amazing accomplishments in our first 100 years. But there’s more work to be done at Kenworth as we drive the next 100 years and continue our mission of producing The World’s Best trucks.”

For more information, visit www.Kenworth100.com. 

Kenworth was the first American truck manufacturer to install diesel engines as standard equipment. The first diesel was built for Valley Motor Express in California, and had a small HA-4 Cummins engine — 100 hp. It also had the first vertical exhausts in the industry.

NTEAReleases Its 11thAnnual Fleet Purchasing Outlook

NTEA recently published its 11th annual Fleet Purchasing Outlook to assess commercial vehicle procurement plans and identify work truck industry patterns. Insights provided by fleet professionals offer perspective on how the market is changing over time in terms of size, growth rate and technology.

“The latest survey responses indicate that fleet purchasing activity will focus on deferred replacement and growth,” said Chris Lyon, NTEAdirector of fleet relations. “These findings are consistent with expectations, as fleets continue to be challenged by the ability to obtain chassis.”

NTEAgathers feedback from a wide variety of fleet professionals with authority to make commercial vehicle acquisition and specification decisions. Participants come from a wide range of fleet sizes, vehicle weight classes and vocational truck applications across the United States and Canada. Primary sectors featured in this analysis include government/municipal, construction, delivery and utility/telecom application markets.

With current survey results combined with data from previous studies, this report delivers year-over-year comparisons for benchmarking purposes and insight into the fleet perspective to help organizations devel-

op future business strategies.

Fleets report one of their most important management priorities is to optimize operations. Continuing to reduce vehicle life cycle cost, sourcing vehicles to backfill deferred replacements, idle reduction and uptime also are key priorities. Acquisition costs and longer lead times are among the biggest challenges fleet managers are facing when purchasing new commercial vehicles. Report findings showcase

• Average vehicle age and replacement cycles

• Projected change in fleet size

• Acquisition plans and funding

• Anticipated vehicle platform shifts

• Technology implementations

• Conventional and alternative fuels usage

• Commercial vehicle systems electrification

• Safety and automation options

• Commercial vehicle maintenance approaches

• Lead time considerations

Fleet respondents report the following:

• 69 percent report the average age of their trucks is exceeding their normal replacement cycle, and 29 percent say the average age is

increasing beyond 10 years.

• 42 percent state their fleet size is increasing, and another 40 percent indicate it’s remaining the same.

• 95 percent plan to make at least some acquisitions in 2023 (up 6 percent over 2022), and 58 percent plan to replace at least 5 percent of their total fleet in 2023.

• 42 percent say they would purchase a different brand due to longer lead times and lack of chassis availability.

• 79 percent are using drive and duty cycle data and 81 percent are using telematics.

• 91 percent they are finding safety and automation options to meet their needs; tire pressure monitoring, collision avoidance and lane departure warnings make the list of top items of importance to fleets.

• 62 percent intend to purchase advanced fuel vehicles in 2023.

• 77 percent perform in-house maintenance or a combination of in-house maintenance with support from an outside service provider.

The 2023 Fleet Purchasing Outlook is a free report download available to NTEA members. Nonmembers can purchase for $199.

Here's how the

State Races to Fix Breakwall

BREAKWALL from page 18

revenues through accommodations, restaurants, retail, boat repair, and other services and industries, with more than 100 jobs tied to those areas.

“All property owners around Great Sodus Bay appreciate Sen. Schumer’s attention and perseverance in getting money allocated to repair the east breakwater,” McDowell said. “These monies will assure the safety of many homes and businesses around the bay.”

Breakwall Likely to Fail Without Repairs

News of the new funding for the breakwall was a post-Christmas surprise for those living and working on Sodus Bay and comes in the wake of severe flooding in recent years, including 2017, and again in 2019.

Tom Frank owns Captain Jack’s, a bar and restaurant where flood waters came right up through the building’s floorboards.

“It was really bad,” he told Spectrum News, “and you sit there and say, ‘Are we going to go through this year after year?’”

Many people who live around the bay said the flooding only made the breakwall situation worse.

Riling recalled a recent conversation he had with one of the structure’s original engi-

neers — a wall built in the 1970s.After looking at the breakwall, the engineer confirmed that it was in “terrible condition.” When Riling asked what the odds were that it would fail, the engineer predicted that if nothing happened to soon fix the breakwall, a collapse was likely.

Despite years of asking the federal government for money to fix the problem, though, it never came, McDowell said, because Sodus Point was not a commercial port, adding, “We’re at the bottom of the totem pole.”

That was the case, anyway, until Schumer’s announcement.

Rebuilding the Sodus Bay breakwall is now projected to get under way in 2024, Spectrum News reported.

The project’s funding comes in addition to other money Schumer has secured for protection of lakeshore homes and the bay, including $4.5 million in 2020 for the USACE to repair and rebuild the battered Charles Point barrier beach breakwall in 2021.

“I will continue to fight tooth and nail to see [the Sodus Bay breakwater] project through to completion to ensure Lake Ontario’s tourism industry and homes are protected, and that residents have the peace of mind they deserve,” the senator added. 

6. LIVE: Tuesday, April 18: SYRACUSE, NEW YORK: Large Machine Shop Liquidation. Well-Maintained. Being Used Daily.

To streamline and simplify HDD guidance for operators completing shallow bore projects, Subsite introduced The Marksman.

The Marksman is the second product introduced in the Marksman series of HDD guidance systems, following the release of the Marksman+ in 2021.

The Marksman features single-button calibration, minimizing the risk of human error and speeding up the preparation process. Six frequency options and simplified features make the Marksman ideal for completing shallow bores for service installation, enabling operators to quickly move from one job site to the next.

The Marksman is an economical option for contractors who want to stay efficient and increase drilling uptime, according to the manufacturer.

“Efficiency is a top priority for our customers. That’s why we developed this simplified HDD guidance system to help operators get in and out quickly,” said Braxton Smith, HDD guidance product manager at Subsite. “The intuitive interface of the Marksman gives operators the confidence they need to successfully prepare for any shallow bore directional drilling projects.”

The Marksman is compatible with Subsite’s TD Recon and Commander 7, as well as the Subsite Field Scout. The Marksman is operated with a single joystick control, with no extra buttons or triggers — for a more intuitive operator experience.

The system also gives operators their choice of the user interface. The commonality of user interface options provides operators with a simplified transition between products, saving time on the job site for crews to learn a new interface. The compatibility and streamlined controls work together to help operators be more productive from day one.

“The ROI and simplicity of the Marksman for contractors doing routine bores make it an obvious choice in HDD guidance systems,” said Smith. “The familiarity and intuitive features of the Marksman make it easy for operators to improve efficiency as they prepare to drill.”

Ritchie Bros. Introduces Hall of Fame, Lauds Used Equipment,AuctionPioneers

Ritchie Bros. has been selling used heavy equipment and trucks for 65 years. During that time, the company has heard and been part of many stories and important changes that have impacted the industry.

“The equipment industry is an important one. It opens up new opportunities for local businesses to thrive and entrepreneurs to contribute locally, nationally and globally in a meaningful way,” the company said.

“An efficient industry for used equipment extends the lifetime of the equipment we use and re-use over again. Improving utilization, saving money, all while reducing waste.

“It’s an industry that has grown and evolved exponentially over the decades. While new technology and innovations have pushed us forward, it’s the leaders and change-makers who have made this vibrant industry what it is today,” the company said.

The Ritchie Bros.’ Hall of Fame is an opportunity to recognize these pioneers. Whether employee, customer or partner, these individuals have made a significant contribution to the used equipment and auction sector.

The first three Hall of Fame recipients are:

• Dave Ritchie — auction innovator and co-founder of Ritchie Bros.

• Roland Russell — equipment innovator and founder of ELRUS Aggregate Systems

• Randy Ringhaver — used equipment entrepreneur and chairman/CEO of Ring Power Corporation 
