CEG CORRESPONDENT

The construction industry is moving ahead, albeit painfully, through a slow recovery from the Great Recession, according to leading economists, whose observations and suggestions offer insights for the Obama Administration, Congress, and contractors.

The mid-year outlook for construction for the last six months of 2010 includes both hopeful and worrisome signals.

Gritting their teeth in the face of discouraging reports for May, industry sources voice basic optimism about a stronger recovery in construction and the general economy. Their responses in interviews by Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) include a prediction that single family housing starts — an important leading indicator for the national economy — will rebound to an annualized rate of 580,000 this year and then almost double in 2011.

The economists laud federal stimulus funding for having averted what one said “could have been a real disaster” in the highway construction market. While they generally praise the effects of the stimulus this year, they also voice concern see FORECAST page 20

Midwest Generation Taps Huge Material Handler in Chicago

It’s been years in the works — and even more years will pass before work is completed — but two of the Council Bluffs Interstate Systems improvements projects are currently under way. Plans aim to update and widen Interstates 80, 29 and 480 within the Council Bluffs metropolitan area in an effort to improve mobility through the region by upgrading the I-80 and I-29 corridors, improving the condition of the roadways, reducing traffic congestion and crashes, and adding capacity.

“Most of the traffic is through traffic, a high percentage of which is truck count,” states John Carns, Council Bluffs Interstate Systems project coordinator assigned to the project five years ago. “We want to separate it [from local traffic] so it can get through town fast, reduce chances of a conflict.”

Average daily traffic numbers range from 20,000 to 75,000 vehicles, with trucks accounting for 11 to 25 percent of those vehicles. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, some areas of I-80 are experiencing more than twice the number of vehicles than the traffic volume estimate used during the original design anticipated. By 2030 traffic on I-80 between the I-29 interchanges is expected to increase to more than 120,000 vehicles a day and double the current 20,000 vehicles per day volume on I-29 north and south of I-80.

Some of the increase can be attributed to population growth, but Carns believes a lot

Erich Sennebogen Jr., managing director of Sennebogen GmbH, recently joined Brenda Brock, plant director at Midwest Generation’s Crawford Station in Chicago, and her project team to formally present the key to the station’s new 880 EQ counterbalance coal-handling machine. Also taking part in the presentation were Constantino Lannes, president of Sennebogen LLC, and Tom Ellis, general manager of Howell Tractor, the regional distributor of Sennebogen equipment.

Weighing in at more than 220 tons (199 t), the crawlermounted 880 EQ is said to be the largest material handler now operating in North America. The machine is one of

Kansas Highway Projects Revived by Plan’s Approval TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas will move ahead with dozens of road projects that had been stalled by budget problems, Transportation Secretary Deb Miller said May 21, responding to legislative approval of a new transportation program.

The Department of Transportation will take bids from contractors in July for 70 projects worth $46 million, Miller said. Over the following eight months, it will take bids for another 14 projects worth $40 million.

The department had suspended the projects in March because the state siphoned $257 million away from road and bridge improvements to pay for other parts of its budget.

But earlier in May, legislators approved a 10-year, $8.2 billion transportation program that will start July 1. Gov. Mark Parkinson, who’d pushed for a new program, planned to sign the bill May 25 at a municipal airport in north Topeka.

“I couldn’t be more pleased that we are able to get our preservation program back on track,” Miller said in a statement.

The new program of road, bridge, airport, Photo courtesy U.S. Army A crowd of more than 10,000 is expected to attend the fifth annual “Rockin’ for the rail and public transit improvements follows Troops” concert, featuring actor Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band. He named his Lt. programs started in 1989 and 1999. State Dan Band after the character he portrayed in the film Forrest Gump. The band per- officials said those programs were the reaforms for military audiences and benefit organizations around the globe. son Reader’s Digest in March ranked Kansas’ 10,000-mi. highway system as the nation’s best.

But transportation officials worried that continued money problems would cause the system to deteriorate.

In April, the department posted a fourminute video on YouTube featuring photos of potholes and rough patches of highway to build pressure for lawmakers to pass a transportation bill. Local officials and contractors

also lobbied for it.

Legislators approved a bill to raise the state’s 5.3 percent sales tax to 6.3 percent on July 1. Most of the new money will shore up the next state budget, but some will go to transportation projects.

Also, the state will increase registration fees for heavy trucks by $100 a year, and the bill authorizes up to $1.7 billion in bonds over 10 years for transportation projects.

The last provision stirred opposition among conservative Republicans because the state still hasn’t paid off all the bonds from the 1989 or 1999 programs. They repeatedly compared another round of borrowing to a third mortgage on a home.

Critics understand the need for transportation projects, but “we were more concerned about the financial stability of state government,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Kevin Yoder, an Overland Park Republican who opposed the transportation bill.

“Many of us who opposed the bill were concerned about raising taxes and borrowing more money,” he said.

Parkinson and others who supported the bill saw it as a jobs program. Miller said the new program will create thousands of jobs with construction companies and their suppliers.

“The construction industry has been suffering because of the recession,” Miller said.

Most of the projects suspended in March were worth less than $1 million each and involved repairs such as filling cracks and sealing road surfaces.

But the two largest projects, repairing parts of Interstate 70, are worth a total of $30 million. One project would repair 40 mi. in Russell and Ellsworth counties, and the other would re-do 8 mi. in Lincoln County.

eight service organizations.

“As a manufacturer who provides backhoes, skid steers, wheel loaders and forklifts for the U.S. military, the support from Case for our troops runs deep,” said Pat Hunt, director, strategic accounts, Case Construction Equipment.

“We’re proud to co-sponsor this event and aid the great work Operation Support Our Troops provides.”

Case recently announced the production of several thousand military skid steers and compact track loaders as part of a $160 million contract with the U.S. Army TACOM that could span 10 years. The equipment is manufactured in Wichita, Kansas.

Members of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 voted to authorized the strike on June 30. Their contracts with construction companies expired May 31.

The strike affects approximately 8,500 members.

The strike by the operating engineers, who operate heavy machinery, follows a strike that began earlier June 30 by members of the Laborers’District Council of Chicago.

Labor officials said other unions that might follow suit include carpenters, cement masons and technical engineers.

Case Supports Military Families, Veterans Through ‘Rockin’ for the Troops’ Work Slow Downs Expected in

Case Construction Equipment continues its support of Illinois military families and veterans with its sponsorship of the fifth annual “Rockin’ for the Troops” concert, July 17, at Cantigny Park in Winfield, Ill. Featuring entertainment from actor Gary Sinise’s Lt. Dan Band, the “Rockin’ for the Troops” outdoor concert annually draws 10,000 people to Cantigny Park’s military museum in west suburban Chicago.

Operation Support Our Troops — Illinois, is a volunteer-based organization that produces the fundraising event. The organization supports the Hines Veterans Health Administration Hospital and multiple military-related causes, including providing care packages for U.S. troops deployed overseas.

Through its first four years, “Rockin’ for the Troops” raised $1.5 million on behalf of

Illinois Construction Strike CHICAGO (AP) Officials in several northern Illinois communities fear major work shut downs because of a construction worker strike.

In Chicago, the strike could delay work on Interstate 290, which runs west from Chicago.

Oak Park officials said the strike has idled a busy construction season in the Chicago suburb. One project was scheduled to be finished this month, but is now delayed indefinitely.

In Naperville, officials worry about the completion of construction work at Naperville Central High School.

Case Sells Interest in LBX Company to Sumitomo Case Construction Equipment announced the sale of its interest in LBX Company LLC to Sumitomo Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. (SCM), a leading manufacturer of hydraulic crawler excavators headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. As a result of the transaction, as of April 30 Sumitomo wholly owns LBX. “The decision to sell our interest in LBX is a continuation of the strategy we began in 2009 to consolidate back office brand management and streamline our industrial footprint,” said Jim McCullough, chief executive officer and president of CNH Construction.

“This allows CNH to concentrate efforts on our key construction brands and strengthen the foundation for our brands continued growth as we continue to take advantage of market opportunities.”

LBX was originally formed as part of a global alliance between SCM and Case Corporation, and holds the manufacturing rights to SCM’s excavator products in North and Latin America. LBX has been marketing

and selling Sumitomo excavators, forestry, material handling and demolition products under the Link-Belt excavator brand name since the company’s formation.

“This acquisition underscores SCM’s dedication to LBX and the Link-Belt excavator brand, and will contribute greatly to our success and expansion throughout North, South and Central America,” explained Robert Harvell, CEO of LBX Company. “Over the years, our long-term relationship with SCM has been built on a solid foundation of providing superior product quality, innovative designs, and dedicated commitment to our dealer network and customers.”

“We believe that this acquisition will allow both LBX and SCM to achieve our common long-term global growth strategies,” said Kensuke Shimizu, president of Sumitomo Construction Machinery.

Bobcat E50 Boasts Tail Swing of Less Than One Inch With a tail swing of less than an inch, the new Bobcat E50 compact excavator can work in confined areas without sacrificing digging performance.

The E50 joins the Bobcat M-Series excavator line in the 4- to 5-ton (3.6 to 4.5 t) weight class. An operating weight of 10,677 lbs. (4,843 kg) and an overall width of 77.2 in. (196 cm) make it easy to transport, while a bucket breakout force of 9,442 lbs. (4,283 kg) provides power for tough conditions.

Redesigned hydraulics with a load-sensing pump and closed center-valve system provide improved, refined control of machine travel and work-group operation. The new hydraulics combined with re-engineered boom geometry also result in increased bucket breakout forces. Cushioned work-group cylinders offer smooth end-of-stroke for precise control, according to the manufacturer.

The E50 comes with an auto-idle feature which, if activated by the operator, automatically returns the engine to idle if excavator functions are not used for a period of four seconds, saving fuel and reducing job site noise. The engine automatically returns to the preset throttle position as soon as the operator starts working again. For precise engine speed adjustments, a new easy-to-use rotary knob has been added to the controls.

Within the operator’s area, the boom swing control has been moved from the floor and placed on a thumb switch on the left joystick, making it easier to operate and opening up space on the floor for the operator’s foot. New larger travel pedals fold up to provide more floor space while flushmounted floor mats make cleanup easier. A keyless start system that discourages theft and vandalism is available as an option.

A TOPS/ROPS canopy with high-back suspension seat, retractable seat belt, cup holder, adjustable armrests and lockable toolbox is standard on the E50 while a quiet, com-

The E50 joins the Bobcat M-Series excavator line in the 4- to 5-ton (3.6 to 4.5 t) weight class. An operating weight of 10,677 lbs. (4,843 kg) and an overall width of 77.2 in. (196 cm) make it easy to transport.

Bobcat’s in-track swing frame keeps the swing castings and cylinders within the width of the tracks when digging in an offset position, helping the operator dig flush against an obstacle.

fortable enclosed “radio ready” cab with heat and air conditioning is available as an option. The cab includes an improved air conditioning system with a 20 percent increase in air flow and additional air ducts. An optional deluxe cloth seat also is available.

Like all Bobcat M-Series compact excavators, the E50 features an X-frame undercarriage that provides improved ground clearance and sheds debris for reduced cleanup time.

Drive motor covers are inset within the motor wrap-arounds to protect them from potential damage.

Integrated slew brakes hold loads still and steady on slopes for more accurate placement. The need for the operator to manually engage the slew brakes during transport is eliminated, making it easier to load and position the machine.

In addition, Bobcat’s in-track swing frame keeps the swing castings and cylinders within the width of the tracks when digging in an offset position, helping the operator dig flush against an obstacle. When other compact excavators work in an offset dig position, their components extend outside the tracks and reduce their ability to dig in tight areas.

The E50 is available with a long arm option that maximizes dig depth, reach and dump height clearance. Other popular options include pad-ready steel tracks, a hydraulic angle blade, second auxiliary hydraulics, hydraulic clamp and Hydraulic X-Change attachment mounting systems for quickly switching between the 16 attachments approved for use on the machines.

Sennebogen, Howell, Midwest Generation Team Up for Crane MIDWEST GENERATION from page 1

Sennebogen’s recently developed equilibrium models, which features a fixed counterbalance design to increase its reach and lifting capacity with minimal stress on the boom system.

With the inauguration of the 880 EQ, the barge unloading facility at Crawford Station (on Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal) finally returns to normal operation after its 50-yearold trailing tower crane was toppled in a wind storm in August 2008. During his presentation, Sennebogen acknowledged the excellent support Howell Tractor provided to Midwest Generation through a 15-month period since the incident.

“We are a global company; but we work closely with local partners like Howell. They are the arm of Sennebogen reaching into the local region. Our customers rely on close local support and service, and our partners rely on close support from Sennebogen.”

Just a few days following the presentation, the firm’s commitment to factory support was punctuated by the opening of a new 54,000 sq. ft. parts and training facility built

by Sennebogen LLC in Stanley, N.C. Building the Case to Go “Green” According to Cliff Maltase, BOP specialist at Midwest Generation who coordinated the purchase of the 880 EQ, the station had been unfamiliar with Sennebogen “green machines” prior to the summer storm. The station’s first priority after the storm was to shore up the wrecked gantry to prevent it from tipping over completely into the river.

Then, said Maltase, three teams where formed, one to establish a temporary unloading dock. This team was lead by Dale Morris, Crawford’s maintenance planner.

Two teams were established to investigate solutions for restoring the plant’s unloading capability.

“For the old technology, we ran costs from the OEM, from making repairs to completely replacing the unit. And at the same time, there was a parallel group looking at the new technology.”

The second group investigated a wide range of alternatives, from hydraulic cranes to bucket unloaders to vacuum and screwtype unloaders.

“It was capacity and dust control that really took the bucket unloader and screw unloader out. The vacuum type has the capacity but they didn’t hold up to scrutiny.

It came down to this [the EQ 880] and another company. There’s a lot of machines out there right now in this industry, a lot of computer-controlled machines. Our team felt that we didn’t want to go in that direction; we wanted something very reliable, and this machine stuck out. It was the Sennebogen reputation for customer service that really pushed it over the top,” Maltase said.

Howell Makes a First Impression Through the time that the Crawford project team was searching for solutions, they had the opportunity to observe Sennebogen service first-hand. As a stop-gap measure until the new facility was designed and installed, unloading duties were performed by a Sennebogen 870 M model.

The Crawford facility needs to unload coal every day, delivered by barge, to meet the demand for electrical power. A coal stockpile also is maintained to sustain the plant through the terminal’s downtime and through peak demand periods.

Arrangements to get the 870 M to Crawford The 880 EQ equilibrium crane at Midwest Generation Crawford Station in Chicago is the largest mobile material handler in North America.

were made by Phil Linoski, the area manager of Howell Tractor who specializes in crane equipment.

Although the 870 M is smaller than Midwest Generation required for its permanent solution, Linoski and the Howell service team, helped Crawford’s staff get through a full year with the smaller machine.

“They were working hard,” said Maltase.

“You have to give those Howell people full points for service.”

A Simple Choice “Phil Linoski met with the project people and we started off looking at the standard 880 material handler. We realized that the Crawford terminal needs more reach to handle the barges two across. That’s when I suggested the new EQ-type crane. They were a bit skeptical, because they had heard of problems with some other counterbalance cranes, but they were assured from a number of sources that the Sennebogen machine was something completely different.”

While the new 880 EQ with a 16.5 ft. (5 m) pedestal at Crawford Station is the first equilibrium crane commissioned by Sennebogen in America, the manufacturer

Erich Sennebogen Jr., (second from L), presents the ceremonial key for the new 880 EQ coal-handling machine to Brenda Brock, plant director at Midwest Generation — Crawford Station. Joining them are Constantino Lannes (L), president of Sennebogen LLC and Tom Ellis, general manager of Howell Tractor.

has 20 similar units operating around the world in various configurations, in ports from Russia to Taiwan. Unlike most equilibrium cranes, which use a sliding counterbalance, the Sennebogen design uses a fixed counterbalance design. Typical of Sennebogen engineering, the EQ is simpler, with fewer moving parts and better control over stresses on the boom and undercarriage. The Crawford unit is fitted with a 12-yard clamshell and has a maximum reach of 100 ft.

(30.5 m).

Out With the Old, in With the New Once they decided on the 880 EQ as the preferred machine for Crawford station, the Midwest Gen project team turned the task of rebuilding the terminal over to Midwest’s Mike Connelly and the erection of the 880 EQ to Gary Hammond, the service manager at Howell Tractor and his crew.

“It was quite the project,” Linoski reported. “Midwest contractors had to tear down their existing crane, redo and configure their belt system, remove the old lighting standards and bring in new electrical lines. They pulled out a large section of conveyor to erect the new hopper, then built a concrete pad beside it to park the new machine.”

Delivery of the 880 EQ was scheduled for mid-November but actually arrived in midOctober. Assembly began the third week of October.

“There is nothing special about getting an equilibrium machine running; nothing different. It’s all mechanical erection, you just run the power in. It was just the logistics of getting people in and out; getting the cranes moved in with all the people working around

us, and doing it all safely. Having said that, the assembly was a challenge even with the two experienced Sennebogen factory people from Germany since this was the first one erected in North America,” Hammond recalled.

Actual assembly of the 880 EQ took just seven days.

“We put in some pretty long days. We had a lot of lifts. When we set the upper section up on the pedestal, it weighed 153,000 pounds. We had a 300-ton crane on one end and 160-ton crane on the other. It was an interesting assembly, I’ll say. And it rained… every day,” Hammond added.

Keeping Pace When all equipment and supporting systems were complete, the machine was placed into service on Nov. 17, 2009, and the 880 EQ has been running two shifts a day, seven days a week, since then. Cliff Maltase admitted that introducing the equilibrium crane in place of the traveling tower meant a significant change in daily operations.

“It’s all new to our operators here, but they’ve done a really great job,” he said.

“The traveling tower was the only technology we ever knew — it was installed in 1959.

“The operators are, at approximately 35 feet above the dock, getting comfortable with the Sennebogen machine now. They’re also learning the winch system at the same time. The tower used to move, not the barges. The operators had their routine down, to lift the load and move along at the same time — it was second nature. They’re approaching 800 tons per hour now, so they’re getting a better feel. 900 tons would be better, but they’ll get there. It’s just a matter of stick time.”

Council Bluffs Interstate Systems Expansion Moves Along BLUFFS from page 1

is due to the number of residents who live in Council Bluffs but work in Omaha, Neb. Housing is affordable on the Iowa side of the Missouri River, he explained, but Nebraska offers more job opportunities, due in part to new bio diesel, power and ethanol plants and a Google server farm.

The Council Bluffs interstate system was constructed in the 1960s and developed to the design standards of the time. Except for routine maintenance projects in the 1980s and 1990s, significant changes have not been made to the roadway.

Time Will Tell The city of Council Bluffs and Metropolitan Area Planning Agency conducted a System Needs Study of the interstate system in Council Bluffs in 1997 that revealed features that don’t meet current design standards, guidelines or operational criteria and do not provide adequate traffic capacity. Five years later, Iowa DOT initiat- The new bridge is expected to be completed in 2010.

As Carns put it, work will span “two states, two major cities, two counties and one river crossing.”

Due to the magnitude of the improvements and limited availability of funding, the interstate improvements are scheduled to be constructed in multiple stages, each of which will take years to complete. Carns explained that funding comes from the normal state budgets, at a pace of $75 million a year. At this funding level, it will take until 2022 to build, he said.

“We didn’t ask for federal stimulus money; that’s going to other projects that wouldn’t get funded otherwise.”

corridor held up the project two years, Carns said.

“There are four railroads; they came to us with a proposal.”

At a cost of $30 million, they lowered the profile of the interchange, closed 6 to 8 crossings and shortened the bridges over fewer railroads. The consolidation idea has yet to be presented to the public, he added.

Another far-reaching preliminary step was “major” right-of-way acquisition.

“We have all [of the necessary ROW] on our side of the river for segment 1,” Carns said, but there are still three parcels to get in segment 2 —mostly condemnation, he said, adding that there is “contention over one plot.”

He said they still need to buy ground in segment 3, the industrial part of town with railroads, a grain elevator, etc.

In addition to the newly purchased ROW, the Iowa DOT has been buying and tearing down houses to make way for additional lanes.

“We’re working on about 10 to 12 hardship home acquisitions,” Carns elaborated, “even though we won’t be working there until 2025 to 2030.”

He explains that the houses are being torn down immediately due to liability and safety concerns.

Bridge to the Future The first contract was let two years ago, Carns said. Reconstruction of the 24th Street Bridge over Interstates 29 and 80 — what he called “the gateway into the city” — was the first project and involved reconstructing the bridge to make it longer in preparation for full reconstruction of the I-29/I-80 overlap section in segment 2. Carns said the 2,400 ft.

(732 m) bridge project involved “lot of ramp work.”

The longer bridge will allow future I-29/I80 lanes to pass underneath. In addition, 24th Street from just south of 27th Avenue to the I-29/I-80 eastbound ramp intersection was reconstructed and now includes two through lanes in each direction and accommodation for left-turn lanes at the interstate on-ramps.

Jensen Construction of Sioux City, Iowa, was awarded a $56 million contract to build a new bridge over the Missouri River immediately north of the existing bridge.

Henningsen, out of Council Bluffs, Iowa, did the grading and paving on the approach to the bridge. A second bridge is needed to be able to provide five lanes in each direction on I-80. The new bridge is expected to be completed in 2010.

The existing bridge will be widened to five lanes in October under a separate contract, with both bridges and approach roadsee BLUFFS page 24

Optimism Has Deserved Place in Mid-Year Forecast FORECAST from page 1

about these funds running out during the last half of 2010. They bemoan the heightened competition for this business, which often threatens contractor survival. Warning that homebuilders in particular contend with extremely tight credit conditions, they worry about continued record unemployment in the industry and rising budget deficits in states and counties.

There’s real urgency, therefore, in their appeals for further action by the Obama Administration and Congress to ameliorate the pain.

Urgent Action Needed This Year The economists, though generally upbeat in their long-term outlook, said the following aggressive steps are desperately needed at this mid-year point if the construction recovery is to gain more steam: 1. Pass a new six-year Highway and Surface Transportation Act allowing states to make long-term plans for new highways, bridges and transit projects.

“Lack of a new transportation bill is absolutely a major factor holding back a strong recovery,” said Ken Simonson, chief economist of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) in Arlington, Va. “Lack of the bill is definitely holding down investment in new equipment and also is keeping new hiring down. Contractors are making do with the workers they already have, the equipment they have, or are renting equipment by the job until they see a steady flow of work. Meanwhile, total employment in construction is 5.6 million; that’s down by more than 2.1 million since 2006, when it was 7.7 million. We need prompt action by Congress and the Administration on funding highways, transit, airports and also water and wastewater infrastructure.”

Highway and transportation funding is now being done under a short-term extension of the previous transportation bill, but this extension expires this December.

“I’m not seeing any sign that Congress is getting close to an agreement on a long-term extension,” Simonson commented. I’m worried that we will continue to have short-term extensions and maybe a gap in funding.”

Surely the Administration and Congress recognize the importance of a new six-year bill.

“Well, you can see that at every level of government there’s a phobia about tax increases,” Simonson replied. “With gasoline usage down, or barely recovering, with more fuel-efficient vehicles on the road, and electric vehicles replacing gasoline vehicles, the revenues aren’t coming in sufficiently for current funding, let alone a long-term increase.”

Alison Premo Black, vice president of policy and economist of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) in Washington, D.C., said: “A new transportation bill will be a very important market signal, driving a lot of investments. I think states will continue to hold back on some of their projects as long as they’re facing some of the current economic challenges in the industry as well as waiting for action on this bill. We haven’t seen anything from the Senate or the Administration so we don’t know what a final bill will look like and we don’t know the timing or how it will be paid for. There are still a lot of questions up in the air that Congress needs to look at in the next couple of months. We’ll see what happens. We could be talking about a new bill or we could have another extension.”

One reauthorization bill proposed in the Senate would provide record appropriations of $450 billion over six years. A House proposal would provide $337.4 billion.

Highway and bridge work accounts for about 12 percent of the construction market, which itself accounts for about 6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), based on revised Commerce Dept. figures showing that all construction put in place during May was valued at $842 billion (if seasonally adjusted for the entire year).

Pete Ruane, president and CEO of ARTBA, recently warned of “threats from many directions,” including the on-going precarious condition of the Highway Trust Fund, the end of highway and transit stimulus funds in late 2010, and efforts to pass a Senate climate change bill, which includes a “de facto gas tax increase.” He noted that a majority of the revenue from this increase would be diverted to non-transportation purposes, preempting and perhaps dooming a new transportation reauthorization bill.

2. Take strong steps to make more credit available to contractors, especially in the homebuilding sector.

“Credit is usually available for the buyer, although the underwriting requirements are a bit stiffer, credit scores have to be a little higher and your downpayment has to be a little larger,” said David Crowe, chief economist of the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) in Washington, D.C. “The real problem is that homebuilders are having a very difficult time getting credit. Exactly why is a mystery. We conduct surveys among builders, who tell us that credit conditions steadily got worse throughout 2007, 2008, and 2009 and have pretty much stayed at those levels. One reason appears to be that the bank examiners, the regulators, are telling the banks, even in places that are in recovery, ‘Don’t lend to real estate.’ We are backing a bill, which is now in the

House, to provide extra capital to small community banks to lend to small businesses, like contractors. It has a pretty good chance of passing.”

AGC’s Simonson commented: “Banks are still under a lot of pressure to improve their balance sheets. There are still a lot of non-performing commercial as well as residential loans, and, frankly, very few appealing lending opportunities when you have near-record high vacancy rates for office, warehouse and apartment space. It’s hard for a developer to make a convincing case that a bank ought to lend for new projects. Banks are wary of bad loans. They should have been more wary a couple of years ago.”

3. Change the consumer’s mindset from fear to hope.

“The consumer’s mindset needs to be made positive,” said Crowe. “ I think the housing recovery is mostly in the consumer’s mind at this point. Employment is probably the biggest single factor right now in changing consumers’ minds. Prospective home buyers will be much more comfortable buying if they see jobs being added.”

The unemployment rate in construction in May was 20.1 percent, more than double that of industry in general while average hourly wages totaled $25.20, up 1.8 percent over last May. Simonson said there’s little reason to expect broad gains in construction employment for the foreseeable future, adding: “While the stimulus, military construction and home building should help, overall construction demand is likely to remain weak well into 2011 for most regions.”

4. Bring certainty to equipment dealers’ business planning.

“There’s more uncertainty in the equipment market than ever before,” said Christian Klein, vice president of government affairs and Washington counsel in the Washington, D.C., office of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED).

“It’s not just the economy, it’s Congress and the White House making it worse. The uncertainty surrounding the highway bill, for instance, is wreaking havoc in the equipment market. States can’t plan and contractors aren’t purchasing new equipment because they have no idea how much business is coming their way. Without a highway bill, we’ll probably have a funding program in the low to mid $30-billion range. A bill would double the program to $40 billion to $80 billion a year. Since roughly 6.4 cents of each dollar on infrastructure is spent on equipment, we’re talking about $3 billion in the equipment market which we’re unsure of.”

Klein said equipment sales as of September 2009 had fallen by more than 50 percent since 2006, with manufacturers and

dealers losing 37 percent of their workforce.

“When you factor in the direct and indirect consequences of a downturn in the equipment industry, 550,000 jobs nationwide are at stake,” he added. “That includes not just manufacturers and dealers but other businesses like restaurants near a dealership.”

Optimism Despite the Pain So where’s the optimism?

Single-family housing starts remain a key.

“I still believe that the third and fourth quarters of 2010 will see improvement in single-family housing starts,” said Crowe.

“Low mortgage rates, the apparent stop in the price decline for houses, and high affordability will be sustained throughout the year and I believe this will bring people back into the market. The only remaining variable is people’s comfort level in terms of income and jobs. I think the job market will pick up and that this will give people the confidence to get back in the market.

“The second half of the year should see single-family housing starts at about 580,000 on an annualized basis, compared with 445,000 in 2009. By the end of 2011 we should be back to pre-downturn levels — about one million starts per year, which is still below capacity of 1.5-million starts. The one reason they won’t exceed one million is because some states like California and Florida, which provide a significant portion of production, will not be back to pre-existing levels.”

Asked if he was relatively optimistic, Crowe replied: “Yes, I’m optimistic because I think we are in a recovery. It will be a slower recovery than typical and so will be the housing component of this recovery.

Nevertheless, it is a recovery.”

Though single-family housing starts fell 17.2 percent in May to a seasonal rate of 468,000 units, this was usually attributed to an expected lull in buyer demand following expiration of the home buyer tax credit at the end of April. Starts declined 6.3 percent in the northeast and 21.3 percent in the south.

They increased 4.9 percent in the midwest and 10.8 percent in the west.

Sales of new homes also plummeted in May, falling 32.7 percent from April.

Optimism is more long-term about multifamily housing starts. Though they increased a surprising 33 percent in May to an annual rate of 125,000 units, Crowe said these starts are expected to lose ground this year, falling 18 percent to 93,000 units before rebounding to 150,000 units in 2011.

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, forecasts that overall housing starts will total 700,000 this year, be close to one million in 2011, and reach about 1.7 milsee FORECAST page 24

Time Table Might Be Long, But Work Begins in Project BLUFFS from page 18

ways expected to be completed in 2011.

Carns said crews will widen and replace the deck on the old bridge, with painting and paving being done, and alternating lanes for the work to accommodate the traffic switchover. Lane shifting will be done in traffic zones for safety purposes.

“By October, we’ll move traffic, tear the deck off and replace it.” Cairns said. “We’ll build 3 to 5 lanes in the clear, then close lanes and build 3 to 5 more lanes in the clear and move traffic. We’ll ‘stair-step’ the work.”

Despite the organizing, Carns said getting trucks in and out is a challenge.

Segmented Because of the extent of the project and the time-released funding, the project will be implemented in smaller, manageable segments. Boundaries were established in Tier 1 to divide the system into five stand-alone segments with logical ending points that could be designed and built independent of adjacent segments, according to Tier 2 environmental documents.

Segment 1 begins in Omaha, Neb., just east of the I-80/I-480 system interchange and continues across the Missouri River to

just west of the I-80/I-29 west system interchange in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This segment includes improvements to the 13th Street interchange (in Nebraska) and construction of a second bridge over the Missouri River north of the existing bridge.

Segment 2 begins on I-80 just west of the I-80/I-29 west system interchange in Council Bluffs and continues to just east of Indian Creek. The segment also includes I29 through the west system interchange, north to and including the Union Pacific Railroad bridge. Work includes reconstruction of the west system, 24th Street and Nebraska Avenue interchanges.

“I-80 [from the west system interchange to Indian Creek] will be a dual divided freeway,” Carns noted. “The interior six lanes will be express lanes with no local exit access. The outside six lanes will have access to the service interchange.”

Construction on Segment 2 is expected to begin in 2012.

Segment 3 begins on I-80 just east of Indian Creek and continues to a point northeast of the Madison Avenue interchange.

This segment includes construction of the dual divided freeway from Indian Creek to the east system interchange. The segment also includes I-29 from south of the U.S.

275/Iowa 92 interchange, north to and including the east system interchange.

Engineers on the project team are working to develop design plans for Segment 3.

Construction on Segment 3 is expected to begin in 2012.

Segment 4 begins on I-29 north of the Union Pacific Railroad bridge and continues to a point just west of 25th Street. Currently, this segment includes the I-29/I-480/West Broadway system interchange and interchanges at 41st Street, Avenue G, Ninth Avenue and 35th Street. Two concepts are under consideration for Segment 4 improvements, both of which provide direct access to West Broadway from I-29 via one-way frontage roads as was decided in the Tier 1 Final Environmental Impact Statement.

Segment 5 begins on I-80 northeast of the Madison Avenue interchange and continues 1.3 mi. to east of the U.S. 6/Kanesville Boulevard interchange. Key features of the segment 5 improvements include adding three lanes in each direction on I-80 and reconstruction of U.S. 6/Kanesville Boulevard interchange to a partial cloverleaf with loop ramps.

Engineers will do corridor modeling for Segment 3 and beyond, Carns indicated.

But First …

“There are a number of firsts on this project,” Carns said. They needed to develop a financial plan. Total costs will be tracked through the project and reported to the Federal Highway Department. Because of the extended time frame of the work, there is concern about going drastically over budget.

“The ‘Big Dig’in Boston started with a $2 billion budget,” he explained, “but ended at $22 billion. We can’t do that here. If we go over 2 percent, we have to explain why.”

But, he addeds, 2 percent won’t even cover the cost of inflation.

“We scoped the project in 2005 at $500 million, but it could easily push to $1.1 billion with contingencies.”

One way to try to keep the budget in line is by allowing the contractor the choice of recycling the old material that is removed.

“The quality of the aggregate is not good and it’s overlaid with asphalt, so we can’t reuse it,” Carns explained.

New material will be determined six months before letting, but Carns said it will probably be all Portland Cement Concrete.

“The department has a bias for concrete, but we try to keep a balance between the two industries [concrete and asphalt] and you need good aggregate.”

Despite Struggles, Positives Survive at 2010 Midpoint FORECAST from page 20

lion in 2012. He said this growth will lead to monthly job gains of 125,000 this year, 250,000 in 2011, and 300,000 in 2012.

Mortgage interest rates are expected to remain low, barely breaking 6 percent by the end of 2010 and not rising much above that in 2011, while home prices remain flat this year and post a modest increase in 2011.

Houses, meanwhile, are smaller than before, dropping almost 100 sq. ft. in 2009 to a nationwide average of 2,438 sq. ft.

“In the coming months, an improving economy, rising employment, low mortgage rates and stabilizing home values should help the housing market move forward,” Crowe said.

ARTBA’s Alison Black told CEG she is sticking by her prediction last December that the highway construction market will grow eight percent in 2010, with the value of highway, street and bridge construction (from all sources) put in place reaching $90.5 billion, up from about $83.9 billion in 2009.

“We are experiencing a record level of federal investment through the Federal Aid program and stimulus funds,” she said. “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [ARRA] provided $26.7 billion for high-

ways and bridges. All states met their deadline of March 2010, when stimulus money had to be obligated. Regular federal-aid highway obligations, meanwhile, totaled $41.2 billion. This federal spending from these two sources is really propping up the market in 2010, though that market growth is not seen in every state. I hate to think what the market would have been without the stimulus. It could have been a real disaster.”

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in Washington said that “at least 311,000 direct on-project highway and transit jobs have been created or sustained during the first year of the Recovery Act.” It said 12,604 highway projects worth $26.6 billion and 1,012 transit projects worth $8.7 billion have been approved under this act.

For the industry as a whole, new construction starts in May climbed 3 percent over April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $406.3 billion, McGraw-Hill Construction (MHC) reported on June 22.

“Most of this year’s upward movement is expected to come from public works construction,” said Robert A. Murray, MHC’s vice president of economic affairs.

AGC’s Simonson said that “the stimulus

is clearly driving one of the biggest increases in construction spending the industry has experienced in a long time.”

Non-Residential Construction a Question Mark Simonson opined: “The strength of a recovery in construction really depends on how strongly private income-producing properties and institutional properties come back. It’s a big factor. I think overall non-residential construction will hit bottom sometime in 2011, but I don’t expect a very strong upturn. I’m confident that gross domestic product will keep growing. We’re not heading for a double-dip recession, but there is so much vacant or underutilized office, warehouse, retail and hotel space that it will take quite a while to create demand for new space to be built.”

A ‘Perfect Storm’ for Contractors The record federal funding for highways and bridges has attracted stiff competition among contractors battling to survive.

“There’s no question that the downturn in the general construction market has had a big impact on the operating environment for transportation and construction,” said Black.

“It has increased competition as contractors have turned to the public sector for work because of the decline in residential and other areas of construction. This situation is great for owners like DOT’s because jobs are below estimates, and very good for taxpayers. However, combined with the lack of a federal bill, it is almost a perfect storm holding back what we would like to see at the contractor microlevel. There’s a lot of work out there but contractors aren’t getting enough pieces of it and are not hiring folks.

Meanwhile, as we’ve seen, the longer a general recession is, and the deeper it is, the more state DOT’s are facing challenges obtaining the federal money supporting their projects.”

States and cities, which must balance their budgets or face default, face mammoth problems. At least 11 states are projecting major budget gaps well into 2013 and are taking such steps as cutting health services, education funds and workforces.

“When you look at the longer-term picture, even just the medium term — 2011, 2012 and 2013 — federal investment is a key part of our market, particularly at a time when states are struggling with their own budgets,” said ARTBA’s Black.

KD Sales, IMC Scrapers Adds Product Development Team Stephen Plunk has been appointed the head of KD Sales and IMC Scrapers’ new marketing and product development team.

The team has been organized to meet the demands and the needs of the growing worldwide customer base for the IMC Scraper line as well as the demands of KD Sales. The team consists of industry leaders from Germany, Czech Republic, Mexico, Africa, Australia, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, United Kingdom and Russia.

“Plunk is a logical choice for this position” said Kevin Derden, owner, KD Sales and IMC Scrapers, Sherrill, Ark. “His many years of experience in the pull scraper industry as well as his vast knowledge of all sides of this business make him perfect for the job.”

“We have literally combined many of the world's greatest players in the earthmoving industry from around the globe to build and market the best product so that we can continually develop and evolve to better serve the customer. We offer a larger product line than any other scraper manufacturer in the world, from a 40 foot wide ag finishing scraper to 25 cubic yard construction scraper, and over 50 current models to choose from in between,” said Plunk.

The team is currently creating and implementing new designs into existing IMC scraper models as well as a new line of scraper models based upon the most popular models of Reynolds International, which was closed and broken up in 2009.

The end user will begin to see these new product lines and changes in current models immediately, according to Plunk.

Procuring many of Reynolds’s old vendors and suppliers has allowed KD Sales to offer OEM Rome and Reynolds scraper parts to customers and past Reynolds dealers who lost the support of the product when the company ceased operations. Many dealers were selling off Reynolds Scraper inventory due to the end of factory support, however Plunk stated that IMC and KD Sales will fully support the Reynolds scraper line.

“This is a main reason for introducing new IMC models based on the Reynolds scraper design, but with much needed and past due improvements,” explained Plunk. “If we are going to build all the parts anyway, we might as well produce and offer the most popular scraper models to the public as well.”

The entire team is committed to customer service, according to Plunk.

“That’s all we have to offer is service.

So we are committed to offering the customer satisfaction. We know we can’t please everybody, and we are fully aware that there is no one scraper that can be a perfect fit on every job, but this is why we offer such a variety of scraper models so that we can try to meet the individual customer’s needs, Stephen Plunk has been appointed the head of KD Sales and IMC Scrapers’ new marketing and product development team.

not to just offer him one single product that may, or may not work for him.

“We are always ready to listen to the customer; many of our best improvements have come from the field, not the drawing board,” said Plunk. “What looks good on paper or on the computer doesn’t always look good in the dirt.”

Plunk has been involved with pull scrapers from the time he was a young boy in the boot heel of Missouri and North Arkansas. He has owned and operated a land grading operation and a golf course construction company and worked

the world's largest tractor and pull scraper rental fleets, with Fleet Equipment of Savannah, Ga., owning and operating more than 100 rental units, with units available for lease across the United States and Latin America.

According to company’s Web site, KD Sales was started in 1987 by Francis “Sonny” Derden and his son, Kevin Derden.

From a small town in southern Arkansas, Francis and Kevin spent countless hours filling and shipping orders from a two-room warehouse to local and interstate dealers

with some of the largest dirt contractors in the United States as both a grade foreman and a job superintendent.

Plunk’s most recent endeavors include being sales manager for a John Deere dealer, a general manager for a Case IH dealership, a top five scraper dealer for what was Reynolds International as well as a top dealer for Miskin Scraper Co. Plunk also co-founded and managed one of

within the scraper community. As time went on, the two entrepreneurs outgrew the warehouse and staff that once was enough for the two of them.

As the demand for more business had grown, so had the space and staff available to keep up with the growing business.

KD Sales carries wear items for such lines as Reynolds, Harvey, John Deere, Scoopall, Miskin, Cepco, IMC, and other major scraper models.

Bomag Adds Asphalt Manager to Heavy Tandem Roller The BW278AD-4 AM tandem roller now offers Bomag’s asphalt manager intelligent compaction system. The 78-in. roller was introduced at the World of Asphalt show in Cincinnati.

The asphalt manager system automatically optimizes the roller’s compaction performance during operation. The system continuously measures the stiffness of the asphalt mat, and automatically increases or decreases the compaction force where needed. The real time BOP display lets the operator constantly monitor the asphalt surface temperature, material stiffness, roller speed and amplitude. Proof rolling with the asphalt manager system allows base work to be inspected prior to paving.

Like the original BW278AD-4 introduced in 2008, the new asphalt manager-equipped roller offers improved operator ergonomics and controls, better performance and greater economy, according to the manufacturer.

The redesigned cockpit with sliding/swivel seat provides improved operator comfort and visibility, reduced fatigue, and increased efficiency. The swivel seat makes it easy for the operator to adjust positions without switching seats, while providing a clear view of the roller drum edges.

When the seat position is reversed, the joystick controls reverse automatically for natural

right/left, forward/back control. An intuitive instrument cluster provides responsive, easyto-read feedback of machine vitals and mat conditions.

The BW278AD-4 AM also features Bomag’s ECOMODE system, which can reduce fuel costs. The ECOMODE system automatically optimizes the performance of the 130-hp (97 kW) Cummins diesel engine, matching its output to the power required for compaction. This feature also reduces engine emissions and lowers job site noise.

The maximum frequency of 3,000 vibrations per minute (vpm) allows the roller to work quickly to achieve density on various mixes.

The vibration frequency is infinitely variable from 2,500 to 3,000 vpm, allowing the rollers to be used in a wide variety of applications. The maximum centrifugal force is 55,575 lbs.

Additional features include a single hood for easy service access from a standing position, flush-mounted ROPS/FOPS for ease of working next to walls and guard rails, block-type drum isolators, hinged scraper bars and improved optional night paving lights. Larger water tanks permit longer operation between refills, while new nozzles and an interval water spray system reduce water use.

APA Announces Historic Industry Unity, Support The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA) announced a historic degree of industry unity and simultaneously launched its new campaign in support of asphalt pavements. The announcements were made at a special press conference during the World of Asphalt 2010 Show and Conference.

“This is a great partnership between the State Asphalt Pavement Associations [SAPA], the Asphalt Institute [AI], and the National Asphalt Pavement Association [NAPA].

The state associations are at the grassroots. We’re the ones who are taking the messages to the customers. The alliance has teams working in all the right areas, and the SAPAs have people all over the U.S. — different climates, different terrain, different circumstances — who will be giving us feedback as to what’s needed,” said David Yates, chairman of the SAPA group. Yates is the executive director of the Missouri Asphalt Pavement Association.

The unveiling of the new campaign included a policy white paper, a comprehensive technical document, a new Web site at www.AsphaltRoads.org, and a new tagline and imagery.

“Just a little more than a year ago, the alliance restructured itself into teams. Each team’s members include all three groups, NAPA, AI, and SAPA,” said Gaylen Ghylin. “These teams are working in overdrive to provide a constant stream of new publications and products — at least one new product every month this year.”

Ghylin, of Commercial Asphalt Co., Minnesota, is a cochair of the alliance.

The engineering team developed the technical document “Perpetual Asphalt Pavements: A Synthesis,” while the advocacy team released the white paper titled “America Rides on Us. Asphalt.” “‘Asphalt. America Rides on Us.’is our new tagline. It has the perfect double meaning: Asphalt is the pavement material that carries most of the traffic in the U.S., plus it’s a material that Americans can rely on — we’ve got a lot riding on asphalt,” said Mike O’Leary. “Along with the tagline, the alliance also has a new look for ads, trade show booths, and printed materials. The printed materials are available as downloads from our new Web site, AsphaltRoads.org.”

O’Leary, who is based in Kentucky, is ambassador of MeadWestvaco.

The Perpetual Pavement concept was first articulated in 2000 and the concept has rapidly gained acceptance. NAPA’s Dave Newcomb, the principal author of the new synthesis document, said that it “captures the activities that have taken place over the last 10 years, synthesizes the information in a way that is useful to providing guidance for Perpetual Pavement design and construction, and provides a vision for further research and development to refine Perpetual Pavements.”

Christie Barbee of the Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association, co-chair of the Advocacy Team, said that the white paper “lays out the forces that will shape the asphalt market going forward. These forces include tight federal and state budgets creating a fix-it-first mentality, a litmus test for sustainability on all projects, a push toward livable communities, and an emphasis on job creation.” She said the white paper, which is geared toward elected officials and senior DOT executives, establishes that asphalt pavement is the right choice for cost-effectiveness, sustainability, livability and job creation.

Our rollers are pretty basic.

Basically perfect.

BOMAG improves on perfection with the BW120AD-4 roller.

Allied Construction Products Allied Construction Products LLC’s Hy-Ram HR Series hydraulic impact hammer has “streetwise” attributes like an oil and gas operation that increases efficiency, a longer piston stroke for higher impact power and an auto-stop system to prevent “blank firing.”

Allied has combined performance, efficiency and reliability in its all-new boommounted Hy-Ram impact hammer.

With continuous improvements over the years, the Allied Hy-Ram still uses the same simple, proven design that first gained industry-wide acceptance for the hydraulic hammer concept, according to the manufacturer.

Oil and Gas Operation One of the many features that contribute to the efficiency of the Allied Hy-Ram is the oil and gas operation. The Allied design of gas-assist using low pressure nitrogen improves the efficiency by reducing demand on the carrier’s hydraulic system. There is no dependency on hydraulic accumulators. The accumulators are merely used to eliminate hydraulic “spikes.” And, pressurized oil is always present at the bottom of the piston, which prevents internal cavitation.

Another feature that contributes to the reliability of the Allied Hy-Ram is the long-stroke design, which minimizes recoil, reduces vibration and eliminates mechanical springs, according to the manufacturer.

The Allied medium and large Hy-Rams also have an automatic Auto-Stop feature that prevents blank-firing once the demolition tool has penetrated through the material being broken and downpressure is no longer applied.

Durable Housing Design The Allied Hy-Rams feature a durable housing design that suspends the internal working body inside a full-box enclosure to protect the hammer, reduce noise and minimize vibration and wear to the carrier. The durable housing design is enclosed at the bottom and incorporates a heavy-duty Hardox rock claw.

HyRams also can have an optional AutoLube mounted on the hammer housing, which is an automatic lubrication system that dispenses lubricant by the hammer’s vibration. The AutoLube uses a high-grade chisel paste in handy replaceable cartridges.

Installation Kits The Hy-Ram, which operates off of the carrier’s hydraulic system, requires an installation kit in order to be mounted on the backhoe/loader, excavator or similar carrier. Allied offers more than 2,500 installation kits to fit virtually every make and model carrier.

The advantages of the all-new Hy-Rams include: • Full-box enclosure protects hammer and reduces noise • Shock-absorbing polyurethane acoustical inserts increase carrier endurance • Larger gas chamber ensures higher impact power • Autocontrol automatically regulates blow energy and

frequency (HR 150 through HR 1200) • Main Internal Control Valve System with large oil circuit generates low heat and operates with high-efficiency • Autogrease system eliminates the need for manual greasing (HR 200 through HR 1200) • Accumulator reduces stress on hydraulic components (HR 75 and larger) • Durable housing incorporating heavy-duty rock claw (Hardox) • Dual retainer bars extend retainer and tool life • Long-stroke maximizes energy and minimizes recoil • Heat-treated tool for longer life The large, medium, small and mini-size Hy-Ram models are available in 12 different models ranging from working weights of 265 to 8,375 lbs. (120 to 3,799 kg) and tool diameters of 1.77 to 6.88 in. (4.5 to 17 cm).

For more information, call 216/431-2600 or visit www.AlliedCP.com.

Indeco Indeco North America’s line of HP Series breakers has expanded to include the HP 25000. This breaker brings power and performance to rock breaking applications where hydraulic hammers previously could not be considered.

Prior to the HP 25000, the largest production breakers were in the 16000 ft./lb. class.

If the application called for a larger hammer, blasting was required. To meet the increasing demand for a larger sized production breaker, Indeco designed and engineered a solution by producing the HP 25000.

At 10 ft. 10 in. (3.3 m) tall, the HP 25000 has an operating weight of 24,370 lbs. (11,054 kg) and an MBMB ft./lb. class rating of 25000. It can handle tools with diameters more than 10 in. (25.4 cm) and fits excavators weighing from 135,000 to 330,000 lbs. (61,235 to 149,685 kg). A hydraulic flow of 110 to 137 gpm (416 to 519 Lpm) and up to 2600 psi provide high impact strikes ranging from 240 to 460 blows per minute.

The HP 25000 is not only powerful, but efficient, boasting Indeco’s intelligent variable speed and power system, which senses the hardness of the material being broken and automatically adjusts the force per blow for optimal hydraulic efficiency. The breaker’s mounting bracket is compatible with the Indeco HP 16000’s, enabling the same carrier to accept two distinct breakers with minimal downtime. more information, call 1-800-5-HAMMER or visit www.indeco-breakers.com. see HAMMERS page 52

Doosan

Doosan Infracore America Construction Equipment is launching the DXB 170h hammer for its DX225 excavator.

The attachment was developed with the engineering, design and functionality of Montabert breakers combined with the pricing and versatility of Doosan Infracore equipment.

“This product is another example of our commitment to giving customers more options and versatility in the work they can do,” said Chris Neville, Doosan Infracore America Construction Equipment, general manager, sales and marketing.

“The DXB 170h hammer will fit our most popular carriers, the DX225 and DX255 Doosan excavators.

We anticipate an entirely new base of customers experiencing Doosan quality for the first time.”

The first model hammers were placed in the field with a number of Doosan dealers around the country beginning in September and were offered to all dealers beginning in December 2009.

Additional hammer sizes will launch in 2010.

“From Doosan Elite-Plus, a comprehensive product support program, to a 48 hour parts guarantee program, to our all makes parts program, our number one goal is providing end-to-end products and services for our customers,” said Michael Stanley, president, Doosan Infracore America Construction Equipment. “This unique new line of breakers designed specifically for Doosan customers based on their input is a sign of our commitment to creating one place where customers can go to have all of their equipment needs met. We listened to what they wanted and made it happen.”

Stanley pointed out that the breakers will benefit both the end users and the Doosan dealer network. Customers will have the opportunity to tackle new types of jobs (such as demolition) that they might not have considered before, while the dealers can service customers in the demolition sector with a comprehensive suite of products and support services.

Comet Breaker Comet Breaker recently made their debut in the U.S. market with a line-up of hydraulic hammers, crushers and shears. The Korean-based manufacturer has tested their newly launched products extensively and knows a thing or two about breaking and crushing rock since Korea’s topography consists of approximately 70 percent rock. The Comet Breaker line of hammers was engineered based on the needs of the U.S. market and was tested side-by-side with virtually every other hammer sold in the United States.

According to the manufacturer, the Comet Breaker hammer is more powerful, has more standard features and has a substantially lower price tag than that of their competitors.

On all models of the hammer, the main body incorporates urethane inserts to reduce vibration, as well as silent tech-

nology with an internal muffler for further noise reduction.

Another standard feature for all hammers is the application of heat-treated dusthome chisels, which optimize heat disbursement.

The combination of the dusthome chisel and the urethane inserts in the main body means less wear and tear on machine booms and arms and longer life for the equipment.

Comet Breaker offers 13 models of hammers with impact energy ratings of 350 to 18,000 ft.-lbs. and chisel diameters of 45 to 200 mm.

The same innovative design and engineering that goes into the production of the hammers is incorporated into the company’s line of breakers, crushers and shears, according to the manufacturer. Comet Breaker’s crusher series of products includes 25 models of one- and twocylinder motor rotating and one-cylinder fixed type crushers and shears. Comet also carries thumbs and stone grapples.

For more information, contact Comet Breaker at 770/453-4183 or on the web at www.cometbreaker.com.

Tramac Tramac’s V1800 is an addition to its line of heavy-range hydraulic breakers.

The V1800 is for carriers from 44,100 to 77,200 lbs.

(20,000 to 35,017 kg) and has an operating weight of 3,913 lbs. (1,775 kg). With an operating pressure of 2,394 psi (165 bar), the V1800 has a flow range of 37 to 58 gpm (140 to 220 Lpm). This hydraulic breaker is rated at an impact energy class of 6,000 ft.-lbs. and has an impact frequency range of 310 to 500 blows per minute. The tool diameter is 5.5 in. (14 cm). A one-piece bushing is one of the features incorporated into the V1800. The principal wear parts, including the bushing, are field-replaceable without dismounting the breaker from the carrier or removing any tie rods. Up to 2.5 gpm (9.5 Lpm) can be diverted through the integrated flow control to protect the breaker from carrier overflow. A high back-pressure tolerance of 363 psi (25 bar) allows the V1800 to be installed on a wide range of carriers.

As with all Tramac heavy-range breakers, the V1800 maximizes productivity and reduces the transfer of potentially damaging energy back to the carrier with variable-speed breaker technology. This technology senses changes in material hardness and automatically adjusts the breaker to the optimal combination of impact energy and striking rate. Additionally, an energy recovery system recycles recoil energy and adds it to the next blow, according to the manufacturer.

Maintenance for the Tramac heavy-range breaker line is minimal due to a blank fire protection feature that prevents metal-to-metal contact that can damage a hammer. The heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant cradle also protects the hammer and its internal components from damage and excessive wear. The cradle also is silenced to reduce noise on the job site.

E-Z Drill E-Z Drill offers the Model 210 Twin Vertical, a concrete drill attachment that is compatible with most skid steers and compact loaders. This rock drill system contains two adjustable vertical drills, making it ideal for pulling patches, slab-jacking and under sealing. The unit is designed for maximum productivity and is completely pneumatic, which eliminates the need for electric or hydraulic hook-up, according to the manufacturer.

The 210 Twin Vertical utilizes CP 69 rock drills and has the capability of drilling a hole between .75 and 2.5 in. (1.9 to 6.3 cm) in diameter. It features a maximum drilling depth of 17 in. (43 cm) and requires a minimum of 260 CFM (7.3 cu m/min) for operation. Drill spacing adjusts from 5 to 10 ft. (1.5 to 3.1 m) on center.

The feed system also includes an angular adjustment, allowing the drills to be positioned between 90 and 45 degrees.

For quick, convenient operation, the system can be controlled from the cab via pneumatic remote, which is powered by the same air compressor as the drills. To further enhance productivity, the roller bearing feed eliminates friction on the carriage to reduce replacement costs and help prevent downtime.

E-Z Drill offers a complete line of drill bits and drill steel to complement its systems. Other specialty drill designs also are available for attaching to skid steers or compact loaders.

This includes the Model 110-3 SL, which is a swivel-mounted horizontal drill system. This unit is capable of drilling to either side or directly to the front of the carrier machine and can be configured with 2 to 6 drills.

Grapples and Shears Atlas Copco With the addition of six models, Atlas Copco’s MG MultiGrapple line now serves the entire carrier range from 1,400 to 160,000 lbs. (635 to 72,574 kg). The M u l t i G r a p p l e ’s robust design also is maintenance friendly, ensuring productivity on the job site.

Designed for sorting and loading demolished material, the MultiGrapple line also is suitable for demolishing light buildings such as masonry and wooden structures.

All major components on the MultiGrapple line are made of carbon steel to withstand tough conditions. The standard 360-degree hydraulic rotary drive allows the MultiGrapple to be positioned quickly and accurately, and the generous dimensions of the hydraulic cylinders mean short cycle times and high closing forces. All of the hydraulic components of the MG line — cylinders, hoses and rotary motors — are positioned for protection, reducing wear and lowering maintenance costs, according to the manufacturer.

The MG series grapple jaws are mounted on the housing via four large bearing points, which are designed to withstand high loads. The grapple jaws are equipped with curved steel plates that have slots to improve sight lines for the carrier operator and to facilitate material sorting by grade. The blades can be reversed and replaced with ease to minimize service costs and downtime. The high capacity of the grapple ensures rapid progress, and the optimum opening angle of 90 degrees results in a perfect ratio of force and filling content.

“The addition of these six MultiGrapple models allows Atlas Copco to serve the entire carrier range from mini and compact excavators with the MG 100, MG 200, MG 300 and MG 400 models, all the way up to 80-ton excavators with the high capacity MG 5000,” said Jeff Malarik, product manager, hydraulic attachments. “The MG 2100 closes the gap between the existing MG 1800 and the MG 2700 and is designed for carriers weighing between 25 and 35 tons.

There is now an Atlas Copco MultiGrapple model to serve demolition, loading or sorting jobs, large or small.”

Builtrite Several key changes have been made to the fourtine, orange peel grapple line-up.

These changes are being implemented to improve overall performance and durability, according to the manufacturer.

These changes include: • Upper head and connecting link have been re-designed, allowing the hoses to be re-routed to come over the top of the material handler jib, allowing for a cleaner hose joint and less likelihood of hoses becoming torn off in scrap handling applications.

• Bolt-on cylinder covers are now standard on all models, 1/2 yd. and larger. The covers and bolt-heads are recessed to prevent them from getting caught on materials.

• Bolt-on access plates on the sides of the tines prevent materials from entering, yet allowing easy access for servicing when required.

• High torque, heavy duty rotation motors do not require a case drain line. Internal tooth, rotation bearing allows motor to be mounted inside the rotation head to ensure maximum protection. One yd. and larger models use dual rotation motors.

All grapples still come with AR 500, abrasion resistant steel on the tine tips, use hardened and oversized pins and bushings. The tines employ a boxed design for maximum strength and all come with a magnet hook in the bottom center of the grapple.

For more information, call 218/834-5555 or visit www.builtritehandlers.com.

Genesis Attachments Genesis Attachments has broadened its product offering to the scrap industry with the introduction of a full line of orange peel-type scrap grapples.

Genesis scrap grapples (GSG) are available in four models ranging in capacity from .75 to 1.5 cu. yd. (.6 to 1.3 cu m).

Additional features include heavy-duty 4-in. (10 cm) bore hydraulic cylinders with 2.5 in. (6.3 cm) rods for powerful closing and fast opening; 360 degree continuous rotation — with high-torque rotation motor — for material access and placement; and high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel construction for long life and optimum durability. According to David Palvere, director of business development, the new grapples are a perfect complement to its XP Series mobile shears, a mainstay in many scrap yards.

“The scrap grapple line is designed with the same focus on performance as our shears and, for that matter, every attachment that leaves here,” he said. “We understand the demands scrap recyclers place on their equipment and we’ve been meeting those needs for better than a decade now. We feel the GSG line will help recyclers in the best way possible: by quickly, efficiently and reliably getting material to a place where it can make them money.”

The GSG line also features heavy-duty cylinder guards to reduce the risk of cylinder damage and contamination from debris; replaceable, weld-on, abrasion-resistant AR-40 steel

tine tips; and large-diameter, induction-hardened chrome pins and bushings for added durability.

Toro

The Toro grapple rake attachment, for use with Toro Dingo compact utility loaders, is ideal for picking up and removing trees, bushes, roots and rocks — as well as demolition and construction debris.

“The grapple rake attachment is the perfect solution for contractors who require a tool that is able to lift, place, and remove objects that are too heavy for hand labor,” said Greg Lawrence, marketing product manager for Toro’s Dingo product line. “And contractors can use this attachment to rake and dig in a multitude of ground conditions.”

The Toro grapple rake attachment is 34.5 in. (87.6 cm) wide, weighs 270 lbs. (122.5 kg) and includes two hydraulic cylinders. Its compact design allows operators to fit through gates and narrow access openings to pick up materials.

According to Lawrence, the grapple rake attachment is meant to be used in a rugged fashion because it provides enhanced power for clamping and holding. Its clamping force from tip to tip is 3,000 lbs. (1,361 kg), and its tines are strong enough to dig up roots and rocks.

“The thick AR400 teeth of the grapple are nearly four times stronger than regular steel and almost three times as hard — making it one of the strongest and most durable grapples on the market,” said Lawrence.

The grapple rake operates much like a bucket when used with the Toro Dingo loader, he explained. Operators can raise and lower it, as well as roll it over and back-rake material away from buildings and fence lines. The grapple rake also will till and comb the soil, push objects, and remove items from the ground without picking up topsoil.

“This attachment is ideal for any contractor who needs to gather and move piles of brush, storm debris, or construction materials,” said Lawrence. “It’s also a handy tool for stacking rocks and timber and handling other heavy loads.”

The grapple rake is one of more than 35 attachments that make the Toro Dingo system versatile enough to meet the needs of virtually any contractor.

Paladin Construction Group McMillen 75 Series Augers by Paladin Construction Group dig holes for utility, construction and landscaping applications with minimal damage to the surrounding area.

The series includes a broad selection of models that attach to skid steers, backhoes, tractors, wheel loaders, excavators and telehandlers.

McMillen 75 Series Augers utilize a sealed planetary reduction auger drive to efficiently and safely dig holes through most dirt conditions. With auger diameters ranging from 4 to 36 in. (10 to 91 cm), operators have the flexibility to dig specific hole sizes that match each application. The heavy-duty, all gear design provides extended life with minimal maintenance and service, according to the manufacturer.

All moving components are completely sealed and lubricated for maximum cooling and minimum wear during the job. McMillen 75 Series Auger drives are bi-directional, allowing the operator to back out of an obstruction and quickly pull the auger drive from the hole. If immovable or hard objects are hit while digging, an internal hydraulic relief valve protects the unit and hydraulic system.

This feature also allows these drives to perform at maximum capacity across a wider range of loaders. Each auger comes with a comprehensive 2-year warranty that includes the planetary drive.

Paladin Construction Group is a manufacturer of attachments throughout North America for the construction, aggregate, agriculture, landscaping, land clearing, recycle, mining, demolition, utility, aviation and municipal market segments.

For more information, call 800/456-7100 or visit www.paladinbrands.com.

Attachments International The Attachments International super land plane is designed for professionals who require precise grades and maximum efficiency. This unit can be pushed for maximum cutting power and used in reverse for precise leveling. Sifting bars allow sorting of unwanted debris and the actual transporting and dumping at different locations. An optional hydraulic ripper is for extreme service conditions and aggressive rippers will cut hard pans, shale, etc.

Caterpillar The Caterpillar center-lock pin-grabber coupler for Cat hydraulic excavator models 311 through 385 uses an overcenter locking mechanism and two hydraulic locking features to ensure positive work-tool attachment. The over-center locking technology promotes job site safety and allows operators to quickly, simply and confidently engage and disengage work tools regardless of boom and stick position.

The center-lock coupler accommodates the same range of Cat work tools as previous pin-grabber couplers, as well as a broad range of other brands of buckets and tools.

When the operator uses an in-cab switch to engage the center-lock coupler with a work tool, the coupler’s robust cylinder extends to close the primary hook around the tool’s rear pin. As the cylinder rod continues to close around the rear pin, the cylinder housing adjusts its position and forces a combination of three attached parts — center-lock rocker, connector link and secondary lock — to snap into an over-center position (much like closing the handles of locking pliers). This action forces the secondary lock to grip the see MISCELLANEOUS page 60

forward pin.

Once the coupler locks, the mechanical principles involved in its over-center locking technology ensure that any working forces applied to the pins will serve only to increase the coupler’s grip. Constant hydraulic force exerted by the cylinder and the action of a counterbalance valve provide additional locking forces, supplementing that of the mechanical lock.

The center-lock coupler remains positively closed until the operator takes the deliberate actions of activating the incab switch and extending the bucket cylinder. For the operator’s convenience and for job site safety, the secondary lock is distinctly visible from the cab and provides an unmistakable indicator of the coupler’s status — whether locked or unlocked.

Because the center-lock coupler eliminates the blocking bar and spring pack required with conventional pin-grabber designs, the operator no longer needs to completely curl the boom and stick (thus inverting the coupler) when engaging a work tool. The center-lock design requires only that the bucket cylinder be extended to activate locking and unlocking functions, and this action is independent of boom and stick position.

The resulting advantage is that the operator can engage and disengage tools with the boom and stick at full extension, a valuable feature when changing tools in low-overhead situations, such as near power lines.

Maintaining the center-lock coupler requires only daily greasing, and to promote trouble-free operation, a jumperline routing helps avoid pinching or snagging on job site hazards.

JCB Fields Squad for World Cup Duties in South Africa A squad of nine JCB Teletruk forklifts is playing a key role in preparing major stadiums that are hosting games during the 2010 World Cup tournaments in South Africa.

The JCB Teletruks have been called up for general materials handling duties during the final construction and fit-out stages of hospitality suites and visitor facilities in and around the six principal World Cup venues in time to welcome thousands of fans from around the world.

All of the Teletruks have been supplied by Clarklift South Africa (PTY) Ltd., the JCB Industrial dealer in South Africa.

Two of the JCB Teletruks, manufactured by JCB Utility Products at its Cheadle plant in Staffordshire, have been deployed at Soccer City, Johannesburg — the main 94,000capacity World Cup stadium that will stage the opening games as well as the 2010 World Cup Final.

There also are two machines working at the Durban Stadium and at Cape Town’s Green Point Stadium, while there is one machine on each site at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, Free State Stadium at Bloemfontein and Peter Mokaba Stadium at Polokwane.

Mike Poxon, international sales manager — JCB Industrial, said: “The tasks at the World Cup stadiums required a forklift truck that was flexible and capable of working on rough ground — and the JCB Teletruk fitted the bill perfectly.

“The Teletruk provides a superior lift capacity and forward reach that extends over debris and stock piles of building materials, as well as a compact size and 4WD capability to handle rugged site conditions and limited working

This is not the first time that JCB machines have been called up for World Cup duty — a 24 ton (22 t) JCB JS220 tracked excavator was used in the construction of the showcase Allianz Arena in Munich — the main stadium for the

2006 World Cup in Germany and now home to FC Bayern Munich.

CH Products, an APEM company and manufacturer of joysticks, trackballs and simulation control devices, offers its HFX single axis throttle; a heavy duty Hall effect joystick delivering precise proportional one axis control.

The HFX single axis throttle features “frictionclutch” centering, meaning the handle maintains the position set by the operator.

The HFX single axis throttle also is available with up to three electrical micro switches as well as seven mechanical detents, which provide positive locations for the handle’s travel.

Ideally suited for safety critical applications such as scissor lifts, work platforms, cranes, agricultural, mining and forestry equipment, the HFX single axis throttle utilizes non-contact Hall effect technology and has been rated for more than 10 million operation.

APEM Components Since 1952, APEM has been a manufacturer of miniature and industrial switches.

APEM’s switch offering includes pushbutton, rocker, slide, snap-action, DIP, rotary, tact, keylock, pushwheel and toggle switches. APEM also produces a wide range of industrial controls, joysticks, membrane switches and switch panel assemblies.

About CH Products CH Products has been a manufacturer of advanced motion control solutions for more than 25 years. CH manufactures a wide range of resistive and Hall effect joysticks as well as panel mount and desktop trackballs, engineered to meet the most exacting requirements. CH Products is located in Vista, Calif., where the company operates an 80,000 sq. ft. vertically integrated manufacturing facility.

Ritchie Bros.

Debuts New St. Louis Site

R

itchie Bros. Auctioneers officially opened its new permanent St. Louis auction site, located in the village of Caseyville, Ill., with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during a multi-million dollar unreserved public auction June 29.

Caseyville Mayor George Chance and St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern helped company officials, along with a 5-yearold local equipment enthusiast, cut the grand opening ribbon in front of a crowd of thousands of interested buyers at the auction site.

The auction broke the company’s St. Louis area record for gross auction proceeds, number of registered bidders and number of lots sold.

More than 1,700 bidders registered to participate in-person and online from 47 states, 32 countries and nine Canadian provinces.

“Ritchie Bros. coming to our town has been one of the finest things to ever happen to Caseyville,” said Caseyville Mayor George Chance in a speech during the official Grand Opening ceremony. “We are so proud of what they’ve done and so happy they have come to our community.”

“It’s good for our company and good for the community that Ritchie Bros. is here,” said Steve Bodine, equipment warehouse manager of Alberici Constructors, a St. Louis contractor. “It helps us out a lot. We don’t have far to go and our equipment is easily transported here. We’ve sold 35 items today, including a few cranes, and we’re happy that they sold really well.”

Ritchie Bros. has been conducting unreserved public auctions at temporary locations in the St. Louis area since 1993. During that time the Company has held 22 unreserved auctions in the St. Louis area at temporary locations and sold more than 13,000 items.

“When we decided to establish a permanent home in the St. Louis area we looked at many locations, but this site was far and above the others as far as accessibility and the reception we received from the village of Caseyville,” said Nick Pacino, Ritchie Bros. area manager.

“We are so proud to have our permanent site in Caseyville and we look forward to establishing a strong relationship with the community.”

The new 67-acre auction site is located along I-64. It has a 13,550 sq. ft. auction building with indoor seating for more than 400 people.

The new Ritchie Bros. site was ready for its first auction.

On hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the Ritchie Bros. new auction site (L-R) are Ritchie Bros. Area Manager Nick Pacino; St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern; Ritchie Bros. Chief Executive Officer Peter Blake; Caseyville Mayor George Chance; honorary Ritchie Bros. new employee for a day Gavin Westfall; Mel Benhoff and Paul Gansauer of Holland Construction; Kevin Wrigley of L.W. Contractors; and Ritchie Bros. Senior Vice President Nick Nicholson.

M

Close to 1,300 lots were sold on auction day. Nearly 55 percent of the equipment and trucks (based on gross auction proceeds) went to buyers from outside the state of Minnesota.

The auction featured a wide variety of equipment, from loaders, excavators and motorgraders to tractors, trucks and trailers. Of particular interest were several Cat VHP motorgraders that included the Trimble GPS system.
