A Salute to a Customer

KKeaton Turner always knew he wanted to build things and work outside with his hands. Now, Turner is developing the next generation of miners as President and CEO of Turner Mining Group.

“I always loved construction,” said Turner. “I love building things, so I went to Indiana State and got a construction management degree.”

Throughout college, Turner worked for his uncle — who owned a heavy civil company that focused on dirt work — and kept his job there upon graduation.

“We had a few mining clients, and I took a liking to mining,” recalled Turner. “Mainly because

of the opportunity that I think exists in mining like new technology and getting fresh ideas implemented, so I started a mining-focused company.”

Founded in 2017, Turner Mining Group offers a full suite of mining services and works on job sites across the country.

“It was a lot of hearing ‘no’ every time we pitched somebody because I was a 27-year-old founder just begging for somebody to take a chance on us,” said Turner. “Our first project was a little $300,000 project mining clay for a cement customer. We maybe had eight employees when we started that project. We’re now well over 300 employees.”

Since then, Turner Mining Group has worked in about 30 states taking on a variety of mining operations including copper, platinum, talc, wollastonite, other specialty minerals, aggregates, and frac sand. On those sites, Turner Mining Group likes to focus on load and haul, but has also handled underwater dredge mining, custom crushing and processing, and mine development.

“We’ve staffed entire operations,” said Turner. “We've built greenfield mine sites where we come in and it is a cow pasture, and we turn it into a fully operational mine. At one time, I think we’ve had 24 or 25 active projects. Most of them were smaller in nature — five-to-six-man overburden stripping crews. We did a lot of overburden stripping as we were kind of cutting our teeth growing into the business.” Currently, the company targets projects that utilize 50 to 75 members of its team.

“From our experience, the larger operations are ones that can better utilize our resources,” stated Turner.

Building the next generation of miners

Turner graduated college when he was 22, and according to him, the average age of a miner in the U.S. at that time was about 50 years old.

“If I’m going to be 35 or 40, a lot of these now 50-year-olds are going to be out of the business or retired,” said Turner. “For the last 12 years or so, I’ve wanted to get these young people into the industry, train them, skill them,

Keaton Turner, President/CEO

Turner Mining Group completes a variety of projects throughout the United States, strives to build the next generation of miners

and get them thinking about a career in mining. I think we’ve got an awesome opportunity.”

Turner continued, “I would say early on we were excited to get young people in. I learned a lot of lessons early on about young, inexperienced people. They’re awesome. They’re on fire. They’re passionate. But, they also make some expensive mistakes if they aren’t trained properly with the right mentor.”

Finding good leaders for the younger employees has proven to be a winning formula for the company.

“We’ve been deploying that tactic at scale,” explained Turner. “All our sites have experienced leadership, but they’ve got a lot of young folks who could potentially jump into a leadership role. They just need someone to kind of show them the ins and outs, give them enough rope to make small mistakes, but not so much that they make big ones.”

Assisting Turner in developing the next generation of miners at the company is a leadership team that includes Chief Commercial Officer Paul Moran, Senior Vice President of Equipment Cade Smith, Director of People Operations Liz Freeman, and Chief of Staff Patton Deischer.

“I’m a big fan of talent, and those are talented people who I depend on every day,” said Turner.

Including technology

Turner Mining Group relies on Komatsu equipment to tackle the rigors of its expansive mining operations, including HD785-8 mechanical haul trucks, WA900 and WA500 wheel loaders, D375 dozers, and PC490 excavators.

“We love the Komatsu rigid frame trucks,” declared Turner. “We’ve had great luck out

Turner Mining Group utilizes Komatsu’s Komtrax Plus to monitor individual machine statistics such as fuel burn.

“Technology is important to us,” said Turner. “The equipment business is very intricate. These are big and expensive assets. Komatsu has several things going for

it, including Komtrax Plus. We can look at the telematics here in the office with the machine 2,000 miles away. I can tell you how much fuel the haul trucks are burning today, which allows us to monitor our fuel costs.”

Quality relationships

To meet their company goals and needs, Turner Mining Group works with Road Machinery LLC for new equipment and support.

“The Road Machinery guys have been great partners of ours,” said Turner. “For us, it’s easy to have conversations with guys that live and breathe this equipment and aren’t just looking for a quick sale.”

Support from Road Machinery keeps Turner Mining Group’s fleet up and running.

“They are just reliable,” said Turner. “It only takes one call, and they are here supporting us. We see the difference in attitude when dealing with Komatsu dealers. For us, what we are looking for is a partner. We want someone who is going to be there. Road Machinery has been there for us.”

Expanding into the future

Moving forward, Turner Mining Group wants to continue to build positive change in the mining industry.

“I think there’s a ton of good people in the industry, and anything we can do to expand our reach, our mission and our core values is what we want to continue doing,” said Turner. ■

Road Machinery LLC partners with IROCK Crushers to showcase mobile plants at IROCK Demo Day

RRoad Machinery LLC and IROCK Crushers recently co-hosted IROCK Demo Day at a quarry in Phoenix. During the event, Road Machinery and IROCK employees answered customers’ questions and demonstrated the capabilities of several IROCK mobile machines, including screening plants, a cone plant, a jaw plant, and an impactor plant.

“We’re excited to showcase our new line of equipment from IROCK,” declared Chris Bennett, Vice President of Product Support for Road Machinery. “These plants are in high demand due to infrastructure growth in Arizona and California. Everybody needs rock and concrete, and we’re excited to meet our customers’ needs.”

IROCK Demo Day was more than a product showcase. It highlighted the importance of the machinery in the mining and aggregate business and outlined unique features that distinguish IROCK machines from their competitors.

“We aim to bring to the market machines that are user-friendly and simple enough for people of any skill set to learn and use quickly,” stated Dan Davis, Western Region Manager/Senior Technical Sales Manager for IROCK. “We are oriented toward the contractor market, where the labor force changes frequently, and we believe our machines cater perfectly to this environment.”

The event also emphasized the integral role of support in the industry. Road Machinery technicians underwent significant training in the week leading up to the event to ensure that they could support the products effectively.

Impressed customers

IROCK Demo Day was well-received by attendees, who appreciated the opportunity

to see the machines in action and explore the potential benefits for their operations.

“We want to reduce the consumption of fuel when we are blending the limestone material with the cement,” noted Rodrigo Casanovas, Quarry Manager/Engineer at National Cement in California. “Right now, California has many regulations about emissions and dust, so we are looking at the IROCK machines to maintain our environmental standards.”

Jim Nichols, General Manager for Kilauea Crushers Inc., was particularly impressed by the portability of the IROCK machines.

“Although we have primarily used permanent plants, we’re always looking at different options for ways to improve our production capabilities,” said Nichols. “There are cases where it would be convenient to have mobile plants. This event allowed us to see how mobile plants might impact our process.”

Nate Russell, Director of Sales and Business Development for IROCK, summed up the spirit of the day by stating, “We do these types of things to support our dealers and put our equipment to work in front of the end-user, so they can touch it, feel it, and see how it works in a different environment. We appreciate everybody who took time out of their day to attend the event, and we look forward to building relationships between Road Machinery, IROCK and our customers.” ■

Road Fore Charity Golf Tournament unites Road Machinery employees and customers for charitable cause

IIn November 2022, Road Machinery LLC hosted its first annual Road Fore Charity Golf Tournament at Papago Golf Club in Phoenix. The event brought Road Machinery employees, customers and vendors together and ultimately raised $25,000 for Phoenix Children’s.

Road Machinery. “It could be an accounts payable person who the customer has never met before or a shop technician who they have only talked to over the phone. We feel it’s important to put a face to a name, and this event allowed us to do that while having fun and donating to a great cause.”

Nate Kendall, President/CEO, Road Machinery

“The idea behind the Road Fore Charity Golf Tournament was to donate to a local cause while showing appreciation to our customers,” stated Road Machinery President/CEO Nate Kendall. “Twenty different sponsors and partner companies helped Road Machinery put on the tournament.

Komatsu’s HD1500-8E0 helps increase production at quarry, aggregate and mining operations, keeps operators comfortable

DDoes your operation need an efficient 150-ton haulage solution that can deliver performance on grade while providing energy-saving technologies to help achieve lower fuel consumption? Komatsu’s rigid frame off-highway haul truck, the HD1500-8E0, is purpose-built for mining, quarry and aggregate applications.

Delivering performance with a 1,570-nethorsepower, Tier 4 Final Komatsu engine, the HD1500-8E0 helps drive high levels of productivity. It has a seven-speed, fully automatic transmission with two configurable reverse speeds. Komatsu’s advanced transmission with an optimum modulation control system provides electronic shift control with automatic clutch modulation. Optimized clutch engagement at every gear provides smoother shifting without losing torque, which offers a comfortable ride and helps reduce material spillage.

To promote productivity and control the life cycle costs of the truck, an integrated payload meter manages the payload of each hauling cycle by analyzing production volume and the working conditions of the machine.

“When designing the HD1500-8E0, Komatsu’s focus was improving performance and durability and helping reduce total cost of ownership,” said Sebastian Witkowski, Product Manager, Komatsu. “In addition to best-in-class speed on grade, and downhill brake retarding performance, the truck has a host of new efficiency and operator environment technologies.”

The HD1500-8E0 is equipped with hydraulic, wet, multiple-disc brakes on all four wheels that act as a highly responsive retarder, providing operators with confidence at higher speeds when traveling downhill. Operators can also control their downhill descent by setting a desired travel speed with the automatic retard speed control

(ARSC), which applies the brake retarder to maintain the desired setting.

Easy maneuverability

With a tight turning radius of 36 feet, 9 inches, operators in the HD1500-8E0 can maneuver in and out of tight spaces when spotting to be loaded or positioning to dump. Komatsu’s Traction Control System (KTCS) provides excellent control in loose or slippery haul road conditions by monitoring the rear wheels for slippage and automatically applying pressure to the independent wheel brake assemblies.

The redesigned cab features a seat heater and ventilator, and the hydropneumatic suspension gives operators the smooth and comfortable ride they need for long shifts. Designed with a convenient layout, the ergonomic cab is equipped with an air-suspension seat to help dampen vibrations, and the low-noise engine, fan clutch and cab sealing provide a quiet, low-decibel operating environment. ■

Komatsu’s new HD1500-8E0 mechanical haul truck delivers high performance with less fuel consumption than its predecessor. It is purpose-built to increase production and efficiency in multiple applications.
