McLean Company Holds Bagela Asphalt Recycler Live Demo

he McLean Company held a Bagela Asphalt Recycler live demonstration at the company’s Hudson, Ohio, location on Jan. 13.

McLean’s Bagela Asphalt Recycler demonstration event proved to be popular with both paving contractors and municipal maintenance personnel from northern Ohio. Along with an opportunity to see the Bagela Asphalt Recycler in action and time with McLean’s salespeople and a Bagela factory representative, attendees were treated to a barbecued lunch prepared by McLean’s resident “Q” master, Steve Jakubowski. The day’s frigid temperatures presented the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the asphalt recycler’s capabilities, said McLean President Don McLean. Bagela’s BA series asphalt recyclers are designed to work in cold environments, producing hot mix asphalt from RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) to be used in pothole patching and other applications. As an alternative to cold patch materials for use in road repair, the Bagela asphalt recyclers offer significant cost savings while also delivering strong environmental benefits. Cost per ton of the hot mix asphalt averages $15 to $20 per ton while virgin cold patch can cost $100 or more. According to McLean, when RAP is reclaimed and reused, additional benefits are gained through the convenience of permanent pothole patching materials produced and available when and where they are needed. The Bagela asphalt recyclers employ a patented indirect heating process that delivers consistent, high quality hot mix regardless of outside temperatures. Bagela Attendees watch the Bagela asphalt offers the machines in three sizes to accommodate a variety of contractor and recycler in action. municipality applications. Its largest machine, the BA10000 asphalt recycler is a fully self-contained, oversized trailer mounted recycler with an output of 10 plus tons (9 t) per hour with an estimated fuel consumption rate of one gallon per ton. For applications requiring a static installation, the BA10000 also is available as a frame mounted unit. The BA7000 delivers a 7 ton (6.35 t) per hour production in a trailer mounted unit that can be delivered to location with a standard half- ton pickup. The trailer mounted BA4000 is capable of recycling up to 4 tons (3.6 t) of material, based on material input, is designed for applications where material production demands aren’t as great, According to Bagela’s Chris Spinella, the asphalt recyclers can accept up to 2 by 2 ft. by 4 in. (.6 by .6 m by 10 cm) pieces however the ideal size for materials is approximately the size of a football or basketball. Established in 1948, the McLean Company serves Ohio’s asphalt, concrete and aggregate, and construction marketplace from its three locations in Hudson, The McLean Company’s Jim Hattendorf Columbus, and West Chester, Ohio.

Nicolozakes Receives HTC-3140 LB Key at Link-Belt HQ When executives at Nicolozakes Trucking Company in Cambridge, Ohio, decided to buy a larger crane, the company spent months studying the options, looking at brands they had owned, and those they hadn’t. In the end, they chose to purchase their first Link-Belt crane, an HTC-3140 LB. Company leaders received the key to their new 140-ton (127 t) truck crane at the Link-Belt factory in Lexington in late November. The long-boom crane “will allow us to better serve customers with additional capacity. The 3140 allows us to perform a wider array of services for our customers. The additional capacity also adds a considerable safety buffer for the

type of work we typically do,” said William A. Nicolozakes, president. Previously, the company’s largest crane was 90 tons (81 t). Nicolozakes Trucking & Construction Inc. provides specialized crane and rigging work, oil and gas services, plant relocations, specialized hauling and general contracting. Several factors contributed to the purchase decision. One was the design of the machine. “Link-Belt has gone above and beyond in delivering a user-friendly owner and operator experience,” said Dean Nicolozakes, company secretary-treasurer and a certified crane operator.

(L-R): Dean, John, Bill and William Nicolozake.

“We have a long history with Columbus Equipment. That weighed very heavily in our decision — they have a proven track record.” Let’s face it. When it comes to Heavy Duty Equipment, from the outside, brands tend to run together. The real separator? Performance. As in ‘how reliable’ and ‘how productive’. That’s why Hyundai designs their equipment with features that matter. From the minute-by-minute, online ability to connect with your machines and know their exact productivity, to the best warranty in the business - 3 years/3000 hours full machine and 5 years/10,000 hours structural. Hyundai is an original in a look-alike world. Visit hceamericas.com for the complete story.

Another important factor was the customer support offered by Link-Belt and by Columbus Equipment Company, the Link-Belt dealer in Ohio. The Nicolozakeses toured the Link-Belt factory, where they were impressed by the company’s professionalism and attention to detail. “We feel the Link-Belt training along with the support Columbus Equipment is providing is invaluable,” William Nicolozakes said. “We have a long history with Columbus Equipment. That weighed very heavily in our decision— they have a proven track record.” Several Columbus Equipment representatives, including president Josh Stivison, attended the key ceremony to show their commitment to supporting their customer. “Nicolozakes has purchased a number of cranes from Columbus Equipment Company over the years. They have expressed confidence in the current economy and feel it can be sustained,” said Bob Weber, Columbus Equipment’s vice president of product support. “The new HTC-3140 LB offers the customer state-of-the-art technology and benefits. We’ve long thought the market needed a truck crane of this size.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

OAIMA Receives Public Outreach Award Children’s for Outstanding Awareness Efforts Hospital Plans Expansion The Ohio Aggregates and Industrial Minerals Association (OAIMA) was recently awarded the 2014 Minerals Education-Public Outreach Award from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for its outstanding efforts to raise awareness about the use of aggregates and minerals and their important role in our daily lives. A partnership between the OAIMA and the Miami County (Ohio) Park District created a program that provided book bags and educational rock box kits to children in area schools as a reward for completing the “Family Quest Nature Program.” This relationship led to a new weeklong, “Hug The Earth” program that was debuted in May of 2012. The overwhelming success of the initial program encouraged OAIMA’s public relations committee with the support of the OAIMA board of directors and the Miami County Park District to create a hands-on experience that consists of children participating in a rock and mineral dig which includes rock and mineral identification followed up with a skit per-

tors. The program would not have been a success without their efforts in educating the public about the importance of our industry. We thank the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for this recognition.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A Columbus children’s hospital has announced a $130 million expansion. Nationwide Children’s Hospital on Dec. 22 said it plans a six-story, $85 million ambulatory-care building, and another six-story, $45 million building that will house faculty offices. The hospital said the 200,000-sq. ft. Livingston Ambulatory Center is expected to have 100,000 patient visits annually. The ambulatory-care center will house outpatient services, such as primary care, dental services, behavioral health, dermatology, adolescent medicine and sports rehabilitation, as well as clinics such as the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition. Construction is expected to start in February. Construction of the new office building has already started.

Ten years ago, John Deere Landscapes created the John Deere Landscapes University one-day education and trade show platform to provide green industry professionals regional options to

ness management.

Brett Dormire, John Deere Landscapes area manager, added, “Bringing our John Deere Landscapes UniversityColumbus program to the site of CENTS Marketplace & University is good business. This partnership allows our organizations and customers to benefit from our shared vision and commitment to deliver high quality education from expert educators as we showcase the equipment, tools and technical resources green industry professionals need to succeed.” On Jan. 7 to 9, the 2015 CENTS Marketplace & University will take place at The Greater Columbus Convention Center.
