OCTOBER 28, 2021 • SYRACUSE, NEW YORK Mailed 11 times a year by name, to every Town, County, Village and City Highway Superintendent, Public Works Director and D.O.T. official in NY State. Subscriptions are available to all interested persons at a cost of $25.00 per year within the USA. To subscribe, send your check, voucher or money order for $25.00 to the address above. Single issues $3.00 each
A long time ago, I learned that for business correspondence, you can delay good news and build a little suspense, some excitement; for bad news, however, you’re supposed to just come out and say it. So here it is: Unfortunately, the 2020 N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo is cancelled. The show, which was scheduled for Oct. 28, had to be cancelled because the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse just informed us that we could not hold an event of this size at the venue, even with CDC safety protocols in place. And to think that just a year ago, the biggest thing we were all concerned about were Spotted Lantern flies. They’re still around and now we have COVID-19, too. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this development has caused for our exhibitors and guests, but like COVID, this is only a temporary setback. We will overcome this and we will come back stronger when we do. When we get back to what our lives were before this pandemic, we will do so with vigor because we will value these things so much more because we lost them for a awhile. It’s like that saying that is usually reserved for relationships that goes, “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Our hearts yearn right now for sporting events, concerts, walking through a crowded farmer’s market, attending a parade and most of all, having our children and grandchildren go back to school, in person, everywhere across the country. But, we will get back to all these things in our lives, personally and professionally, and I’d like to think we’ll value all of them more and not take them for granted, if we ever did for even one moment. The show will go on … next year on Thursday, Oct. 28 in Syracuse and we look forward to 2021 for so many reasons after the 2020 everyone is having. And next year, we’ll see you at the Expo and perhaps even stomp on Lantern flies in a crowd larger than 50. If you have any questions about the show’s cancellation, please contact Joshua Phillips, Superintendent’s Profile trade show manager at 315/725-5726 or jphillips@cegltd.com or contact Bob Buckley at 518/863-4100.

Highway Superintendent H
Brian Stiscia
and the Town of Gardiner
By Lori Lovely PROFILE CORRESPONDENT
To face the tough times and to celebrate the good ones, we turn to those closest to us, those who mean the most to us: family and friends. For Brian Stiscia, superintendent of highways of the town of Gardiner, that most important loved one is gone, so he celebrates and honors the achievements with his crew. After more than 30 years of marriage, Stiscia lost his best friend — his wife Katrina — to cancer last year. Soul mates who met just after high school, the devoted couple dedicated their lives to community service — and each other. “Katrina supported me,” Brian said. “She knew I was a servant to our community for the fire and highway departments. The sacrifices she made, with countless fire/EMS emergencies, highway calls and board meetings … the many anniversaries, birthdays and holidays missed … she was always there for me, to lend an ear or a helping hand. I could go on for hours talking about her.” Now, he pours himself into his job and his hobby of drag racing while he decides on whether or not to stand for re-election when his term ends in 2022. “My wife and I had future plans,” he said. “We were going to retire young and healthy enough to enjoy time, do things together and travel.” Torn between fulfilling his promise to his wife to retire early to carry out their plans by walking away from a job he loves or staying at work with his extended “family,” Brian hasn’t yet made a decision about pursuing another term, but said he’s strongly considering fulfilling his end of the bargain he made with his wife. A Life of Service Born in Kingston, Brian grew up Gardiner in Ulster County, approximately 75 miles north of New York City in the upper region of the Hudson Valley. Home to approximately 6,000 people within 45 square miles, Gardiner is nestled in a scenic area featuring the vertical rock cliffs and evergreen forests of the Shawangunk Mountains as well as the broad flood plains of the Wallkill River, Shawangunk Kill and Mara Kill streams. continued on page 12 Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • September 2020

John Lischinsky of the Gardiner highway department assists on the Capital Improvement drainage project on Tina Drive.
“The Shawangunk Mountains offer the most pristine views of the surrounding areas of New Paltz, Plattekill, Wallkill and Orange County,” Brian said, explaining that recreation is practically in their backyards, with some of the best rock climbing and hiking and biking trails in the “Gunks,” as the locals call the mountains. Minnewaska State Park Preserve, Mohonk Preserve and Palisades Park Preserve are also popular with tourists. But that’s not all the outdoor recreation offered in the area. The Gardiner Rail Trail is part of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail system. There’s also Blue Sky Ranch skydiving and fishing, camping, biking, canoeing, kayaking and horseback riding in the area. Restaurants, tasting rooms, wineries, brewing companies, distilleries and numerous farms that produce cider and organic vegetables dot the landscape, adding to the allure for locals and vacationers alike. One of his first jobs was as a service manager for a busy outdoor power equipment dealer. In October 1993, the local boy began working for the town of Gardiner highway department, continuing what he called his “small engine repair hobby” at Majestic Hardware. He also became an active member of the volunteer Gardiner fire department. In 2014, he was elected superintendent of the highway department. “I saw an opportunity to take the highway department to a new level of service,” he said, explaining his decision to run for office. He wanted 12
to take on the challenging projects that had been set aside by previous administrations and he wanted the taxpayers to see the department’s work ethic and the pride they take in projects they complete for the town. As a leader, Brian has relied on more than 20 years of hands-on experience with the highway department, where he worked his way up as a laborer and equipment operator. He also has leaned on his 35 years in the fire department, where, currently as assistant chief and previously as chief, he gained experience in training and supervising personnel, budgeting, maintaining vehicles, managing a department, delegating duties and interacting with the public. “I deliver performance under fire,” he joked, but in reality, he backs it up with results. Achievements During his two terms, Brian has produced a range of results, from reorganizing the filing system to conducting an inventory of road and culvert signage to installing guardrail in several locations where safety necessitated. He also addressed flooding and drainage issues throughout the town, upgraded and relocated the fuel storage system and installed a 30 kW standby generator so the highway keeps functioning when the power goes out. continued on page 14

The town of Gardiner’s highway garage, shop and office.
“We rebuilt a salt shed that was deemed unsafe due to a chemical reaction between the treated wood and the salt, [which] caused a fungus [and] deterioration of the main support beams,” he said. After research through the company that manufactured the beams and Cornell University, he developed a game plan of replacing the damaged wood and beams, shoring up the exterior and installing a membrane on the inside of the salt shed that acts as a barrier to keep the salt from coming into contact with the treated lumber, thus preventing a recurrence of the problem. By repairing the salt shed for under $100,000 rather than replacing it for a whole lot more, he saved the town considerable money. In another cost-saving measure, he replaced both furnaces in the garage building, a 100 by 54-ft. former cold storage building that was retrofitted and now features four bays: office, utility/parts room, bathroom and drivers’ room. He also upgraded the compressor in that building and replaced shovels and rakes with equipment that came with a lifetime warranty. He said that now, he makes sure there is a warranty on all purchases. continued on page 18 14

The town’s fleet of Mack trucks (2014-2020) and one International 2009, all outfitted with wings, reversible plows and multi-purpose bodies, in front of the salt barn.
On the Job Current 2020 capital improvement projects the crew is working on include reconstructing Lake Road and resurfacing Tina Drive, Lauren Drive and Halcyon Road. “We prep each road first,” Brian said, adding that prep work includes trimming and removal of trees and stumps, upgrading drainage and replacing failed driveway and cross pipes and applying grass seed and straw when the road work is completed. Although not contractually obligated to fulfill duties with other departments, the majority of the highway department employees reside in Gardiner, and they assist other departments and districts upon request. “We plow the town hall, library and transfer station,” Brian said. They also maintain the Rail Trail by assisting with maintenance of signage, trees and all of their equipment, which is owned by the town and falls under the jurisdiction of parks & recreation. “Major tree work gets bid 18
out, as we don’t have a big enough bucket truck.” Other tasks they take on in order to cut down on costs include taking office refuge and recycling from the town and highway offices to the transfer station and assisting with demolition of the old park pavilion, which was let to bid for replacement. They also maintain the decorative street lights and assist with holiday decorations for all seasons. The town’s board authorizes the highway superintendent to enter into mutual aid agreements with surrounding state, county and town highway departments, fire departments and police agencies, in accordance with New York State Highway Law. Mutual Aid Agreements range from crews hauling materials for other agencies to traffic control and assisting during catastrophic storms if any adjacent town was hit harder than them. continued on page 22

Congratulations to the Village of Warsaw...
...on their new Calhoun 32 x 40 CC. erected on frost depth precast walls engineered for stockpiling up to 9 feet and incurring a loader impact. Our experience with Hybrid Building Solutions has been great! Beginning with budgetary info, then into designing our building, and through the construction, Hybrid was very knowledgeable and supportive. We also were able to realize a considerable savings by utilizing a Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract for the Calhoun Structure. Shane Evans, Village of Warsaw Superintendent of Public Works

“We have also reached out to ask to borrow other’s equipment that the town doesn’t have,” Brian said. “They usually come with their own operator too.” Brian also assists the building department and planning department on new building sites, subdivision projects with site drainage, driveway permits and new roads. Hit the Road One of the biggest ongoing jobs Brian oversees is road maintenance. He and his crew are responsible for three bridges and 111.21 lane miles of Gardiner roads. Out of 107 roads, one is gravel. They also do winter maintenance on 10 lane miles on two Ulster County roads, per a shared service agreement. “It has worked well for our town and Ulster County department of public works,” he said. continued on page 26 22

Altogether, that adds up to nine plow routes, which take three to four hours each. They store about 800 tons of salt in a 100- by 60-ft. covered salt barn with sides, which was added in 1996. Brian adds one or two part-time crew members to help with snow removal — his least favorite aspect of the job because changing weather patterns require around-the-clock attention, resulting in lost sleep. The seasonal crew members join a full-time staff of nine who work 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday: Tom Power, deputy superintendent/work supervisor; Matt Aube, road foreman; Terry DePiero, MEO; Adam Monteleone, MEO/fabricator; John Lischinsky, MEO/electrical; John Soltish, MEO/mechanic; Rob Scofield, MEO/operator; and Robin Kaufmann, secretary. Brian praises them for bringing different skills to the department and takes a great deal of pleasure when residents compliment his crew for a job well done. He applauds the “dedication and pride my entire highway staff implements each day by doing their part [and] being professional.”
A Case excavator helps relocate the ditch, shoulder and removal of stumps on a Capital Improvement project on Lake Road.
Fleeting Thoughts When he first took office, Brian set a priority of upgrading trucks and equipment. “For safety, productivity and morale, it’s a must to have good, working trucks and equipment,” he said. His crew takes care of their vehicles, he added, with daily checks and preventive maintenance performed according to hours of use, mileage and yearly. That has allowed them to “push the life” on some of the equipment. For example, they have no plans to upgrade the 1987 Champion road grader. “Trucks and equipment need to be updated constantly,” he said. “We changed how the prior administration approached surplus trucks and equipment at the end of their life, and basically scrap.” continued on page 30 26

Brian Stiscia supervises his crew, Terry DePiero, Tom Power and John Lischinsky, as they remove and install a catch basin on Farmers Turnpike.
What works for them is selling trucks and equipment while they retain value. “We implemented a replacement schedule program. Selling them brings a return on investment.” Income from sales is used toward purchase of new trucks and equipment. He developed a vehicle replacement schedule that provides the town board with a list of each truck’s and equipment’s year, make, model, purchase date, lifecycle, projected replacement year, level of priority for replacement and approximate replacement cost. “I’ve been lucky,” Brian said. By providing factual information and details about the fleet when asked by the town board, he has managed the highway budget and periodically replace his fleet. Much of the fleet is fairly new now, with the newest a 2020 Mack 30

Brian and his dedicated crew (L-R) are Rob Scofield, John Soltish, John Lischinsky, Brian Stiscia, Adam Monteleone, Terry DePiero, Tom Power and Matt Aube.
With a relatively young fleet, Brian observed that they’re in good shape regarding replacement of trucks, but said they’re “way overdue” to upgrade other equipment. His list to address includes a 1986 Case 752 roller, the 1992 Brush Bandit 200 chipper, the 1996 Ford 350 VersaLift aerial bucket truck, a 2001 Daewoo 250III front-end loader, the 2002 LeeBoy 700 paver and a 2005 New Holland TN70DT sickle bar tractor they use for mowing. The department recently purchase, a Bobcat with multiple implements. “It’s a sweet machine,” Brian said. The implements allow them to save time and simplify. For example, snow on state road sidewalks can be blown into the truck for quick clearing of the business district. “We purchased other attachments for other applications, such as the milling head for grinding roads, a sweeper attachment for sweeping the roads and the brushcat attachment for brush removal.” One piece of equipment he believes the department lacks is an Brian and his wife, Katrina, whom he calls the “love of my life,” in 2019 at Mohonk Mountain House fire department installation/awards dinner. 34
excavator. In the interim, they rent one as needed, but he hopes to purchase their own. Within the past six years, they have signed lease-purchase agreements on trucks that he believes has worked well for their budget and rotation. Park It The highway department used to have a fourbay garage in the centrally located hamlet of Gardiner. As the town grew, so, too, did its need for more equipment — and a bigger place to store it. “The town owned a 20-acre parcel on South Mountain Road,” Brian said. In 1988, the town built a 100by 54-ft. cold storage steel building to house equipment overflow. Because the original location was in such need of repair or demolition, they decided to move everything to South Mountain. To keep costs down, the crew did a lot of the site work, installed the septic systems and had the building retrofitted, making it a fully operational highway garage with four bays, an office, a utility/parts room, bathroom and a drivers’ room. continued on page 38

Meanwhile, Brian noted that their original hamlet location is now home to the Gardiner library. Pay It Forward Other equipment the department uses includes radios — portable or installed — in every vehicle and piece of equipment, leased from New York Communications Company Inc. and computers in the office for tracking inventory. The computers also are used for e-blasts from the town supervisor to residents and the town’s Facebook page. Brian said they use Quicken to keep track of their annual operating budget of $1,414,717.00, expenses and daily balances. Of that, $102,000 is their annual CHIPS allocation, with another $23,000 from PAVENY and $18,000 from Extreme Winter Recovery. Meeting budget on projects is one of the things that makes a day a good one for Brian. One ongoing project he’s been working on is a bridge replacement on Clove Road because the 30-year-old single-lane temporary bridge has been yellow-flagged and was once issued a red flag. The weight limit has been reduced, and the town has applied for grants to replace this temporary bridge. Brian said the replacement will be a two-lane bridge and his department has been working on it, still 38
hoping to obtain a grant since he took office. The town works with engineer Thomas Harvey of Clark, Patterson, Lee, who is working with the town on the bridge over the Rail Trail and various drainage and subdivision projects. Family In addition to being a member of the Gardiner fire department, Brian belongs to the Ulster County Association of Town Superintendents and the New York State Association of Highway Superintendents. He devotes a great deal of time to his job and his crew, to whom he is so bonded, he described his worst day on the job as one in which he had to fire an employee. “Working here is like being around family,” he said. He takes pleasure in seeing dedicated employees who have faithfully served the community reach retirement and be able to enjoy the rest of their lives. But it has to be a sharp reminder of his own retirement plans with his wife. “We were sweethearts,” he said. “Never had a bad day. We had what everyone wished for: to find your soulmate and have everlasting love with your best friend.” continued on page 42

He reminisced about her sense of humor, her tremendous strength and her love and support of him, which didn’t go unnoticed. “She always had my back.” What his future holds is unclear. For now, he focuses on work. When he’s not working, he’s probably restoring or racing a muscle car. “I own a ’69 Chevelle Yenko, which was a calendar car, and a ’70 Chevelle LS-6 that has been featured in numerous magazines,” he said with pride. If he’s not at the track or a car show, he may be out with friends or at home with his two rescued cats, Tigger and Tiger, trying to figure out how to navigate the future without the woman he loves.

JCB Delivers First 150X Tier IV Final Excavator in North America The first JCB 150X Tier IV Final excavator delivered in North America is now being put through its paces in the town of Plymouth, N.Y.
Jeri Lynn Kocak, account manager of JCB, and Rodney Oakley, highway superintendent of the town of Plymouth. 46
Recently, the town of Plymouth in Chenango County, N.Y., not far from Norwich, N.Y., took possession of the very first JCB model 150X Tier IV Final excavator to be delivered in North America. Powered by the JCB EcoMax engine, these new excavators boast an enhanced operator environment with a 15 percent larger cab; ease of operation; great efficiencies; ground level access to key service inspection areas; and performance enhancements that have increased the overall capacities of the excavator, according to the manufacturer. Town of Plymouth Highway Superintendent Rodney Oakley said his decision to go with the JCB was all about the engine. Before his career at the highway department, Oakley came from an over-the-road trucking company and had really come to know the ins and outs of diesel engines. The one thing that he knew for sure was that he wanted to avoid DPF (diesel particulate filter) if at all possible, and the new Tier IV Final EcoMax engine in the 38,000-lb. JCB 150X offered him that. “DPF filters typically require a shutdown with regeneration. That’s a lot of excessive heat that’s generated and an interruption in your workday. It can also create a very dangerous situation.” According to JCB, EcoMax offers a number of other advantages, including high torque at low engine speed that puts power where you need it most; higher fuel economy; and reduced operating costs with 500 hours of standard oil service intervals. Above and beyond the advantages of the JCB engine, JCB also has continued on page 48

Plymouth Purchases Hybrid Machine to Add Maximum Lift Height, Reach

made advancements in the excavator cab, including HVAC with twice the performance. The town of Plymouth was able to make this purchase off of Sourcewell, which made the purchase process bid-free. “The machine has more than met our expectations as well as the service and support from Liftech JCB and their sales representative Jeri Lynn Kocak,” said Oakley. “We’ve received excellent training on the use of the machine and anytime we have needed any type of part or support, Liftech JCB has been right here for us.” The JCB replaced a comparable sized older excavator for the town of Plymouth, and the operators were quick to notice a tremendous increase in breakout force. “We can move a whole lot more dirt a lot faster. The cab is incredibly comfortable and the difference in the amount of fuel that we are burning was very surprising. The Tier IV engine is extremely efficient.” At the same time that the town of Plymouth decided to replace its excavator, it also decided to replace its 2007 skid steer that was in the equipment fleet. This skid steer was used primarily to mow the town’s landfill and also was used for backfilling culvert work.
Instead of going traditional, the town purchased a JCB Teleskid, a hybrid combination of a telehandler and a tracked skid steer. This unique machine manufactured only by JCB allows the user to do everything that they would normally do with a tracked skid steer, but adds a maximum lift height of more than 13 ft. and a forward reach of 8 ft., according to the manufacturer. “The new Teleskid has really changed the way we do some things. With 13 feet of reach, we now use it for loading trucks. The tracks have made mowing the steep slopes of the landfill more efficient than ever before,” Oakley said. “There are so many different things that we can do that we are finding new things to do with it every day. Certainly, cleaning up around the yard is much easier. The machine is very quiet, it has very tight controls and it is incredibly powerful. It also has speed settings that can be locked in which comes in very handy when mowing the landfill.”
The extended reach on the Teleskid creates more flexibility of application versus a standard skid steer. 48

How Much Do Fabric Buildings Cost, What Impacts Those Building Prices?
When it comes to fabric building prices, the building site, size, design, as well as several other factors can all have an impact on the overall cost.
Fabric structures are known across dozens of industries as versatile and dependable building solutions, and the fabric building cost per square foot is typically lower than conventional structures. However, as often as this benefit is mentioned, many potential customers may be asking one question: how much do fabric buildings cost? When it comes to fabric building prices, the building site, size, design, as well as several other factors can all have an impact on the overall cost. This may seem like a lot to manage before getting started on a building project, but by considering all factors, customers are more likely to receive the structure that meets their needs, while also staying under budget. This resource is intended to provide customers with a breakdown of which factors can affect fabric building prices, and how understanding these aspects can help any business get their ideal structure at an economical cost. Read more below for an in-depth look at fabric structure cost.
Building Sites, Foundation Options, Fabric Building Prices Fabric structures are incredibly versatile, providing functionality in dozens of industries and hundreds of applications, and because of this versatility, fabric structures need to be able to utilize many different foundation options. The building site may have an effect on fabric building cost per square foot, as well as installation and construction costs, because different land conditions may require additional excavation or certain foundation options for adequate stability. Fortunately, there are fabric structures that can be built upon a variety of foundation options. Concrete blocks and pads, wooden posts or blocks, pony walls and more can all be used with fabric structures designed for a range of foundations. Every foundation option varies in 56
cost, but there are innovative choices available that can help reduce costs. Helical anchors are an innovative foundation system that provide long-term durability with the option for easy relocation. They drill directly into the ground with minimal sitework and excavation, reducing the overall construction costs for the building. Helical anchors can be removed and reused, so they’re a great option for buildings that might have to be relocated. Although they can be used as a temporary foundation, they also provide the strength required for a permanent structure and create a stable, dependable foundation for any building application. Shipping containers are another cost-effective option, as they provide additional clearance and storage space while acting as a stable foundation. Besides being a strong foundation option, they’re also incredibly functional, as operations can lock up expensive tools and equipment in them at the end of the day, creating a more secure jobsite. When choosing a fabric structure, users can ensure their building’s construction is as cost-effective as possible. There are cities and states that don’t impose taxes on what can be considered a “temporary” structure, so users may also save money in that regard. Manufacturers who offer several foundation options allow their structures to be built almost anywhere, while still helping customers remain within budget. Building Shape, Size, Materials Fabric buildings are often available in a number of designs with varying frames, covers and profiles. All of these variables can have an impact on how much fabric buildings cost. The needs of the user should always be the first consideration before examining the cost, as this helps determine the ideal frame and cover combination for a specific application. Structural design has one of the largest bearings on fabric building prices. Some manufacturers offer several unique profiles for their struccontinued on page 60

Triple-Galvanized Steel Offers Most Benefits: Lifespan, No Maintenance
from page 56
tures, including round, gable, and open-side designs, each with a different expectation of cost. There are manufacturers with more than one frame options, such as truss and I-beam buildings, which can have differences in price. Regardless of budget, users should always choose a building that is constructed with a high-quality metal, like steel. Triple-galvanized steel offers the most benefits for users, including a longer lifespan and limited maintenance. Building size is another variable that directly affects fabric building prices. Smaller structures with round designs tend to be more economical, but they won’t be ideal for every operation. Larger structures with clear span floor plans may be a bit more costly, but the improvements in usable space and efficiency will prove invaluable for many operations, like those in manufacturing or warehousing. Certain manufacturers offer frames that can be built to any size, so no matter how large, an operation can get the building they need without breaking the bank. Fabric structures also can be clad with different cover options, so which fabric users choose can influence how much fabric buildings cost. There are cover options that feature multilayer construction to provide the maximum strength and durability, but there also are more economic fabrics that allow natural lighting to enter the structure for drastically lowered lighting expenses. Users should first consider what is the ideal cover for their operation, but they always have the option to go economical. Custom or Turnkey Structural Designs, Fabric Buildings Cost Fabric structures can be available in both custom and turnkey designs,
so there are buildings that can meet any specification, including local and regional building codes. When it comes to how much fabric buildings cost, there is a clear difference between turnkey and custom designs, but there is more to consider than just the upfront expense. Many manufacturers offer several turnkey designs in a variety of sizes. Turnkey designs are a cost-effective choice for businesses in need of a structure without any specifications, but a turnkey structure will generally remain the same, regardless of where it is being built or what it is intended to be used for. This means that turnkey fabric buildings sometimes won’t meet local building codes or wind/snow loads. These structures are ideal for low risk applications in regions with a moderate climate. On the other hand, custom fabric structures may cost more, but they are designed to the user’s unique building requirements, building codes and local climate, so they will excel in any application that they are used for. There are manufacturers who can customize structures down to the smallest details. In addition to being able to specify the dimensions of the structure, customers can also customize end and side wall options, as well as a wide range of building accessories, from lighting to HVAC equipment, custom doors and pretty much anything else. Cost-effective Design for Low Fabric Building Prices In the end, building site, foundations, size, as well as chosen frames, profiles, covers and building equipment and accessories are all factors in fabric building prices. Customers may find it challenging to figure all of the above specifications into their budget. The simplest way to determine the fabric building cost per square foot is by working with a professional who will determine the best structure for any operation’s specific needs.

Dual View Dumpers Give Full Visibility
Wacker Neuson’s dual view dumpers bring a new perspective to material handling. The unique concept allows the entire operator’s console to swivel 180 degrees so the operator is always facing the task. Now available in North America, the DV series of dumpers provide optimal visibility, regardless of the working direction or payload size, according to the manufacturer. With Wacker Neuson’s new dual view dumpers, the operator always has full visibility ahead. When loading and unloading, the operator looks in the direction of the skip. Before driving, the operator swivels the seat and console so he is facing in the driving direction. The system is easy to operate; release the lock, turn the entire operating platform for maximum visibility while working/dumping or traveling. The operator faces forward in road mode for maximum travel speed up to 18.6 mph. Time-consuming turning and maneuvering, especially in confined areas, is no longer necessary, saving time and fuel. 60
The dual view concept provides a host of efficiency, safety and convenience benefits. All the main functions rotate with the seat so the operator always has the adjustable steering wheel, joystick handle with skip functions, drive direction and horn, the throttle and brake pedal and the multifunctional display in the correct position for working. It is more efficient for the operator to quickly rotate the seat and between traveling and loading/unloading. There is an enhanced degree of safety on the job site because the operator continually has an optimal view of the jobsite. Additionally, a protection (rock) guard is mounted to the skip to protect the operator’s station from material or impact by loading equipment. Wacker Neuson’s dual view dumpers are available in three models: • DV60, 6-ton, with a payload of 13,228 pounds, heaped skip capacity of 4.1 cu. yd. • DV90, 9-ton, with a pay load of 19,842 pounds, heaped skip capacity of 5.7 cu. yd.
• DV100, 10-ton with 22,046 payload, heaped skip capacity of 6.5 cu. yd. All models feature hydrostatic drive that offers simple intuitive operation and are available in either canopy or cab versions. The operator’s platform has plenty of head and legroom and the multifunctional display includes a rearview camera Cab models come equipped with high-efficiency HVAC system and optional fully glazed cab to protect against elements and dust. Designed to save time and money, Wacker Neuson wheel dumpers function like a compact dump truck, but with all-terrain traction and better maneuverability. These versatile, articulated machines feature dumping from the front of the skip or the skip can be rotated 90 degrees in both directions to dump from either side. The new DV, dual view models, offer additional time and money savings, providing a new perspective to material handling. For more information, visit www.wackerneuson.com.
