Greater Control for Excavators with IDigBest Excavation Solutions, LLC, recently announced the release of IDigBest family of dig systems. This release will greatly improve the operation, function and performance of excavators, advancing the contraction industry. The system, which was created by excavators for excavators, streamlines the digging process and makes it more effective and efficient. The IDigBest system is compatible with any GPS enabled excavator machine. The system gives the operator greater machine control, so flat bucketing is now possible. This is achieved through a patented valve system that allows the main boom to enter a semi-float state. This allows the bucket to sit flat on grade, putting the teeth in the optimal position to cut the earth without undue fuel use. The system offers users several benefits. First, it cuts fuel consumption by improving the efficiency of the excavator. Second, it creates a smooth, spoil free ditch using just the excavator. This, in turn, lowers operating costs by requiring less labor.

The semi-float position the valves is what accomplishes this flat bucketing process. The valves place equal pressure on the bucket through the booms on the top and bottom of the cylinder. This softens the boom, gives the operator greater control over motions and allows the bucket to make corrections necessary to maintain the right grade without the need to fight the weight of the machine. Yet the flat bucketing process is not the only benefit of the IDigBest system. This non-GPS digging system has an accurate measurement system that alerts the operator to the depth and position of the bucket and teeth with a simple LED light strip directly on the bucket. This streamlines operation and makes it easy for the operator to see what is happening, without the need to follow complicated on-screen controls. The flat boom and measurement of the IDigBest main system is just the first offering from Excavation Solutions, LLC. The IDigBest family also offers an innovative X-RAY VISION system. This system targets dangerous underground

utilities and allows the operator to outline a safety zone around those utilities. Then, when the digging process reaches that safety zone, it sounds a tone to alert the operator. It also has a kill switch that will prevent contact by shutting down the joysticks if the safety zone is breached. When measuring is not important, IDigBest offers the IDigBest Degrees system, which gives the operator much control through a foot pedal, without the need for measuring. This system can stand alone or be incorporated to an existing dig system to allow greater control. When used with the IDigBest system, it allows for greater control over the flat bucketing process. The savings with the IDigBest systems are the primary benefit. Operators can achieve accurate measurements, smooth grades and spoil-free ditches with one simple system. This efficiency saves those who implement the system substantial amounts of money, and makes IDigBest a solid investment. To learn more or to browse videos about the system, visit www.IDigBest.com.

Between the Road and the Load:

Calculate True Capacity Before Buying Your Next Trailer Long before a single load is booked or any wheels turn, someone – usually a fleet manager – needs to determine exactly what is going to separate the road and the load. There’s a lot riding on this decision because, as much as some would like to think otherwise, a trailer is never just a trailer. It can be manufactured to many different specifications, with multiple raw material options, dozens of load and geographical considerations, various top speed requirements and hundreds of possible axle configurations coming into play. And it all comes down to one objective – the ideal trailer for an operation’s specific loads. To select the right trailer, the one that will require the least amount of maintenance, provide the greatest lifespan and deliver the highest possible return on investment, it is vital to understand the most important factor of all – capacity.

If the payload is a 100,000-pound excavator that’s only 13 feet long, a trailer rated for the entire deck length, or even for 16 feet, won’t be right for the load. The ideal trailer will be one rated at half the deck length. These ratings give a more realistic indication of the concentrated loads the trailer will be able to

50 Tons in the Making There are five contributors to capacity ratings. They apply to any kind of open trailer, from flat and step decks to lowbeds, and each can be varied to meet a carrier’s specifications. It begins, of course, with the materials used to build the trailer, specifically their sizes and weights. From there, capacity encompasses the overall weight that a trailer can carry, the area of the deck in which it can carry that weight, the speed at which the trailer will generally travel and the safety factor. To make an apples-to-apples comparison, consider one 50-ton lowbed alongside another 50-ton lowbed. Because, just as a trailer is never just a trailer, not all 50ton lowbeds are created equal.

Load Concentration: Half Deck, Full Utilization

handle safely and without structural failure.

in load concentration, or the length of the deck that can handle the rated weight. Obviously, a 26-foot, 50-ton lowbed can haul 50 tons. But how much of the deck those 50 tons occupy is just as important as the weight itself. Whereas one trailer might need the entire length of the deck to be rated at 50 tons, another can be rated for 50 tons in a 16-foot span, and another can handle that same weight in half the deck length. For example, a 26-foot, 50-ton lowbed might be rated for the trailer’s entire span with equal weight distribution. In that case, the trailer would need to be hauling materials that run the entire length of the trailer, such as long steel poles, lumber or concrete culvert sections.

There are more than 50 manufacturers of lowbed heavy-haul trailers in North America, and they apply several methods of rating the capacity of their trailers. Since there is no industry-set or government-mandated system, it’s up to every buyer to be in tune with the method each manufacturer uses before making a purchase decision.

However, if the payload is a 100,000-pound excavator that’s only 13 feet long, a trailer rated for the entire deck length, or even for 16 feet, won’t be right for the load. Even though the load is only 50 tons, that trailer will be overloaded because the weight will not span the entire length of the deck; making it too concentrated for the area the excavator covers. For a trailer that’s rated at full deck length or 16 feet to safely handle the excavator, it would likely need to be rated at 55 or 60 tons.

A key difference between manufacturers’ ratings comes

So again, using the 13-foot, 100,000-pound excavator

Contractors Equipment Directory

as the payload, the ideal trailer will be one rated at half the deck length. Trailers rated for half the deck length can carry a specified load in just that, half the length of the deck. These ratings give a more realistic indication of the concentrated loads the trailer will be able to handle safely and without structural failure. In addition, manufacturers who build trailers with half-deck ratings often do so with a two-point rigid load base specifically for the tire spacing, or hot spots, of large equipment and heavy machinery.

Load Distribution: Scaling Out How a load is distributed over the deck and the axles can be just as important as the overall weight rating. However, even though the trailers will be operating in the United States, the states are not very united when it comes to axle weight laws and regulations. All across the country, the laws and regulations related to weight change from state to state. Companies operating in Indiana deal with one set of laws and regulations, but when they cross the border into Ohio they run into entirely different set of regulations. Pennsylvania has yet another distinct collection of rules of the road and so on along the truck’s route.

Fleet managers need to be aware of, and plan for, variances between states and regions where their trailers will be used. It’s important to have the proper trailer configuration to make the load distribution work for a fleet’s particular area of operation. Manufacturers bear some responsibility, too, and should work with buyers to define not just the best trailer for the cargo those buyers will be carrying, but also the best axle configurations for maximizing the load in every one of the states they’ll be hauling through.

To make an apples-to-apples comparison, consider one 50-ton lowbed alongside another 50-ton lowbed. Because, just as a trailer is never just a trailer, not all 50-ton lowbeds are created equal.

Carriers can vary gooseneck lengths in the front to achieve the proper steer weight and drive axle weight. Carriers also can alter the distances between axles and axle groups to hit max weights and remain in compliance with various state laws.

For the most capacity and smallest impact on the trailer weight, some manufacturers use a T1 material with 100,000 psi minimum yield. T1 not only has maximum strength versus ductility, but also equates to a lighter, stronger trailer frame over other materials.

Clearly, it’s impossible to max out a trailer’s capacity in every state, but the goal of most interstate heavy-haul carriers is to get a trailer as close to the maximum as possible across all the states where the carrier intends to operate. There are many ways to achieve the best possible weight distribution over the axles. It may be as simple as adding a fourth flip axle or as complicated as adding two or three axles and spreading them apart to make sure they can each accept an equal amount of weight from the payload. And there are other possibilities in between depending on the specific state’s regulations and the nature of the load. For example, carriers can vary gooseneck lengths in the front to achieve the proper steer weight and drive axle weight. Carriers also can alter the distances between axles and axle groups to hit max weights and remain in compliance with various state laws. With an East Coast trailer, for example, they can add shims to a rigid spread bar or, if the trailer has a nitro version of a spreader bar, use hydraulics to vary the weight distribution. Yet another way is to move the load closer to one end or the other to properly distribute weight over the axles. And, finally, a carrier can use a jeep dolly to add extra axles, thereby lowering the peraxle weight distribution.

Speed: How Slow Can You Go? Another capacity determinant is speed. While some manufacturers rate their trailers at 55 mph, others rate them at

65 mph. The slower a rig travels, the less added weight or stress is placed on the trailer. That’s due to the fact that, while road dynamics such as potholes, railroad tracks and so on still come into play, the impact on the trailer decreases along with the speed. However, sometimes a 55 mph rating is not as realistic for a carrier as a 65 mph rating. The key is to purchase trailers that will perform at a fleet’s normal operating speeds.

Safety: A Crucial Multiplier A trailer’s safety rating also comes into play when discussing capacity. Without understanding the safety rating, it’s difficult for a carrier to get a clear, comprehensive picture of true capacity. A safety rating is an indicator of how much stress a trailer can safely handle. It encompasses the strength of the raw materials and components that a manufacturer has put into the trailer’s design and construction, how the beams and cross members are configured and so on. A widely accepted average magnification of payload weight on a trailer due to road dynamics is 1.8 to 1 ratio. When a driver is rolling down the road, the truck is hitting chuckholes, bouncing over bumps and crossing railroad tracks along the way. On average, the stress placed on a 50-tonrated trailer by a 50-ton load when the rig hits those bumps, chucks and tracks equals 1.8 times 50 tons, or 90 tons. It’s important to keep in mind that the 1.8 multiplier is only an average. On any given haul, the stress placed on the trailer can go above that level multiple times. If no cushion is built in to the trailer to handle those spikes in stress, there will be more potential for long-term, progressive structural damage. Since there is no universally prescribed level for safety ratings, they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. They range from a safety factor of 1.8 to 1, which allows for no margin, to an industry high of 2.5 to 1, which is considered an ample cushion for even the most extreme road dynamics a trailer might encounter.

t Calculate True Capacity Before Buying Your Next Trailer, continued

Not only does the safety rating tell a carrier how strong his trailer is, it’s also a very good indicator of potential life. The greater the difference between the static design safety factor, be it 2.5 to 1, 2 to 1 or some other factor, and the dynamic 1.8 average multiplier, the longer one can expect a trailer’s useful life expectancy to be. Most trailer manufacturers do not like to advertise safety ratings, often for good reason. To understand why, it’s helpful first to comprehend what a safety rating is not. A safety rating should never be used to determine how much weight can be added over the capacity rating and still keep the load, the driver and other drivers safe. In other words, a 2.5 to 1 safety rating on a 50-ton lowbed should not be used to justify loading a trailer with 125 tons of cargo. Just as the deck rating indicates, that trailer can safely handle a 50-ton payload under dynamic conditions.

Materials: The Sum of the Parts Safety factors are strongly related to the quality of the components incorporated into the trailer, and that gets down to the nitty-gritty of the steel and the deck material. Manufacturers have several options when choosing steel. For the most capacity and smallest impact on the trailer weight, some manufacturers use a T1 material with 100,000 psi minimum yield. T1 not only has maximum strength versus ductility, but also equates to a lighter, stronger trailer frame over other materials. A trailer’s decking is continually exposed to the elements, making durable decking with a long wear life also crucial. Apitong decking provides a tougher, longer lasting wood in comparison to other varieties, such as oak or pine. Tightly woven and incredibly dense, apitong is less susceptible to chipping and cracking and provides some amount of traction in comparison to a smooth metal surface.

Overload at Your Own – and Others’ – Risk Sometimes trailer owners or operators don’t completely understand the capacity rating and mistakenly put more weight on the trailer than it is built to handle, or more weight in a concentrated area than it can handle. Overloading a trailer once is not likely to make it break. Overloading it twice probably won’t either. But do it

consistently over time and eventually it will likely fail. When a trailer breaks, the manufacturer hears about it. But often the complaint will be that a 50-ton trailer broke when it was hauling less than a full payload. For example, a 50-ton trailer might break when it’s only hauling a 40-ton payload. The reason is not in that 40-ton load, but the number of times the trailer previously was overloaded and by how much each overload exceeded the yield strength of the trailer’s load-bearing beams and cross members.

Dismantling For Parts...

Yield strength refers to the amount of stress that the steel can withstand and still return to its original shape when unloaded. The first time a trailer is overloaded, the steel will return to something close to the shape it was in when it came off of the manufacturing line, but not exactly to that original shape. Each time it’s overloaded, the steel will return to something less than the shape it was in the time before. Eventually, the steel, and therefore the trailer, will break. So in our example, even though the trailer only carried a 40-ton payload, it is likely that it had been overloaded to some extent at one or more points in its past. That’s when the damage was done, and that is what ultimately caused the failure. The steel got weaker and weaker and, on the day the trailer failed, it happened to be rolling with 40 tons on the deck.

Help To Be Had It can be tempting to look at a trailer’s capacity rating and stop there. But for a true sense of how much a trailer can handle and how it will hold up under the stresses of a specific operation, with its individualized loads, geographies, weights and other variables, fleet managers need to consider everything that goes into that rating. Purchasing the right trailers for updating a fleet can be complicated and, clearly, the decision is an important one. But there is help available. Many manufacturers have sales people who know capacity from top to bottom and can help fleet managers select exactly the right trailer with the optimal combination of load concentration, load distribution, speed and safety rating for specific applications and load types. And having that knowledge about each specification will help ensure an investment that leads to a long, smooth ride.

Curb Shaper Improves Ease of Laying Curb and Gutter

Hoover Diesel Helps Reduce Fuel Costs

When laying a sidewalk or driveway, contractors often struggle to lay a professional-looking curb and gutter formations. Laying it by hand is time consuming, and curb rolling tools are often cumbersome to use.

Since 1973, Hoover Diesel Service has been offering power units and diesel engines for customers in the construction industry, as well as servicing those units and engines. Their products include diesel and gaseousfueled power units, generator sets and high quality power systems. With their help, companies that rely on industrial engines and generators, and need the parts to keep them running well, will be able to continue smooth operations.

Curb Shaper has made it simple to form curbs and gutters quickly and professionally. With the ability to allow for variations in form work, the Curb Shaper is a flexible piece of machinery that makes laying the curb simple. The machine is designed to create a 24-inch curb and gutter, but can be adjusted up to 2-1/2 inches on either side. The Curb Shaper can also be adjusted to work on a 18-inch curb and gutter with ease. It can also be adjusted during use to accommodate the variations in form work that are common with this type of project.

is a high performance air compressor that can be truck- or skid-mounted with enough power to run most common air tools used in mining operations. The new diesel drive engine also decreases the possibility of fire presented with a gasoline engine. Being MSHA approval means the compressor has been authorized for safe use in underground coal and gassy metal mines and has undergone rigorous testing conducted by experts at the MSHA. It ensures air quality is within safety standards while running the unit underground, a major concern for all such operations. The release of this product is part of VMAC's strategy to provide safe, high performance air compressors for use in a variety of environments. For more information visit vmacair.com. ___________________________________________________

When asked about the product and the best way to use it, Doug Webber said, "We've found the best way to use the tool is to pour around a three inch slump, stack the concrete about 10 to 12-inches wide, flatten and edge the top so you are level or even slightly downhill to the gutter side." Flattening out the concrete beforehand prevents it from building up on the machine. Further features on the Curb Shaper that are designed to make it easy to use include its handle grips on each side of the machine. These allow the operator to easily turn corners. It also has an adjustable handle, so operations that have multiple users can easily adjust for their varying heights.

Rock Breakers Introduces New RBI Hydraulic Breaker For contractors who have to deal with rock issues, Rock Breakers, Inc., (RBI) has a new product to help, the RBI Hydraulic Breaker. This newly released product has all of the features construction operations have come to expect from the RBI brand, including interchangeability between machines and easy-to-maintain designs. The new breaker joins the extensive list of Huskie Hydraulic Hammer breakers already offered by RBI.

Lura Enterprises Introduces the Lightning Strike Roller Screed System

New DL-66 inch and DL72 inch Heavy Duty Rotary Cutters from Ammbusher

Lura Enterprises is a distributor of the awardwinning Lightning Strike Roller Screed system that is based on a patented pass-through resulting in reduced costs.

Ammbusher recently expanded their attachment line with the introduction of the DL-72” heavy-duty brush cutter.

Equipped with a patented pivot pin in the center that makes easy work of circular pours, it reduces the manpower required to operate the system and can perform a wide variety of pours with fewer tubes. While its pin holds the motor steady, the hex driver goes into action. It disconnects easily for pours from any direction and when used in concrete or pervious concrete applications, it leaves a flatter slab while delivering a high level of floor flatness as well as floor level numbers. The end result will not have high spots that need to be ground down for an aerated floor.

Fully Adjustable for Ease of Use The curb runner is completely adjustable for either right-sided pours or left sided as well as crowns and valleys. It goes along the existing curb, form or sidewalk and can be situated on the motor side. Since there is no need to position support stakes, it saves on time and supplies. With the adjustability of the handle, elevated pours can be positioned to the precise angle. It has a unique riser wheel so it can operate on concrete to concrete with less wear and tear on its tubes.

The DL Series rotary cutters were built to handle extreme brush conditions. A reinforced front push bar enables the operator to push over trees and cut brush up to 6” in diameter. As you cut, the front chained intake door lifts and allows the tree to enter the blade area. The 1” steel X-blade carrier allows the cutter to mulch and cut at the same time. The 2,100lb machine was designed to fit larger skid loaders. Both will handle 22 to 45 gpm (with motor changes) and are used in the forestry, right-of-way and land clearing service worldwide. “The DL Series is the next level up from the Ammbusher standard-duty cutters,” says Jenny Awad, VP of Sales & Marketing. “We are proud to say that Ammbusher designed and built the first brush cutter of its kind in 1992 and strives to keep American’s working,” she adds.

When asked why the company decided to design its own hydraulic hammer, Jose Torres, president of RBI, said, "When IPC Industries, the distributor of the popular Huskie Hydraulic Hammer, announced it was going out of business, I purchased all rights and assets of the company. We have the original Huskie Hammer factory drawings, and we have picked up where they left off. The new RBI Hydraulic Breaker is simply the end result of that." In addition to the new hydraulic breaker, RBI stocks the largest inventory of Huskie parts in the nation, and 95 percent of their inventory can ship the same day. They've also reproduced the popular HH500-2 model as a US-made product. For those who already own breakers, RBI offers a Rebuild Program, which involves a complete teardown and inspection of the breaker along with a written estimate of the necessary repairs.

The new 2013, DL-72” and the DL-66” (since 2006), are both equipped with a newly designed “American Made” spindle. The “USA” built motor is a direct drive and bi-directional design.

t what’s new narrower than three feet. It can cut effortlessly to a depth of 15 inches, with a swing of 60. There is neither belt nor clutch. Predator employs the fully proportional, highly accurate and reliable Scanreco G2B radio control system that is commonly found on cranes. It allows the operator to have the feel and control of a hydraulic lever while maintaining in full the flexibility and vision of a remote operator. The Predator 38RX offers a solution for those seeking a large, high-performance stump cutter to undertake commercial commitments – and private work. Building on the hugely popular manual version, the Predator 38X, the Predator 38RX is the ultimate in refinement, the company claims. Smooth, powerful and reliable, it’s the same American powered machine, but radio controlled. The machine has a cutting depth of 18 inches, a swing of 54 inches and a cutting height of 30, coupled with a width of just 26” – and a 38HP Kohler power unit.

BOMAG oscillation makes use of the physical laws of vibration generation to its best effect. The careful coordination of exciter system to drum weight ratios is the basis for BOMAG’s tangential oscillation. Target applications for this compaction technology are on bridge structures and for working in close proximity to buildings. Usage for intermediate and finish rolling are additional proven applications. With TanGO always directed horizontally, it maintains continuous ground contact and efficient compaction results are often able to be seen immediately after a few roller passes. The interaction of TanGO oscillation from the rear drum and traditional vibration power from the front drum provides practical advantages on difficult-to-compact asphalt mixes. This directly leads to achieving desirable smoothness and density results. Contractors are given a sound investment with the modular design concept coupled with an extremely wear-resistant drum wrapper surface. The drum wrapper shell is covered by an 8 year/8000 hour warranty. BOMAG is planning further TanGO introductions into other roller weight classes going forward. This unique offering complements BOMAG’s complete line of compaction rollers and expands its industry-leading product range that includes its Asphalt Manager and ECONOMIZER innovations. Multiple solutions are readily available from BOMAG as a single source.

Curb Shapers,Inc.

The Mobile Rapidmix Range

It Takes 3 Things to

The Rapidmix Continuous Mixing Plant range is fully mobile and completely selfcontained with its own power source. Fitted with a self erecting system, using hydraulics, the plant can change from travel mode to fully operational within a few hours.

It’s got to be faster.

Curb shaper is faster: This machine shapes 200 feet of curb in 20 minutes.

Rapid International is delighted to announce the North American launch of their new fully weighed mobile continuous mixing plant. The Rapidmix400CW is the new generation of this highly acclaimed continuous mixing plant.

It’s got to be easier.

It’s easy: Just set the handle about belt buckle height and pull it. Any one of your hands can do it.

The latest version is now offering full weighing options for all materials – aggregates, cement and water. Measurement by weight is a critical requirement of specifications and the Rapidmix400CW offers record keeping that is automated, precise and detailed.

It’s got to turn out consistent quality work.

Consistent quality: If the back of your form is straight, your curb will look like an arrow.

Terramac Introduces GPS Package for Fleet Management

coordinating manufacturer, rental dealership and end user schedules.

Terramac® LLC has announced that all its RT9 rubber track crawler carriers come with a GPS receiver and one-year paid subscription to On-Board Communications, Inc. data tracking.

For more info visit www.terramac.com or call 630365-4800.

The GPS receiver transmits not only real-time location information but also fleet management data such as run time and idle time via cellular network service. On-Board’s patent-pending Activity Logging Technology, or ALT, offers Terramac® owners the added capability of tracking time operating under load.

Evans Debuts New High Performance Coolant Label

Chuck Tholen, an On-Board Communications, Inc. GPS specialist, said this will be a new application of GPS to many people. Without having it pointed out to them, they might not notice the equipment at first.

A necessity for anyone who sells, owns/operates, inspects or rents trailers, the Light Ranger MUTT® ensures a trailer's electrical wiring is working properly and adheres to inspection standards before use.

The Light Ranger MUTT® comes with a battery charger, 3-way trailer harness adapter and IPA®'s 24-hour repair or replace warranty policy. The Ranger MUTT® Memory Saver Accessory Kit (#9104) is available separately.

Data is automatically collected and delivered in communication reports that include the exact location of a carrier. These give technicians time to arrange service in the field with advance notice. The reports reduce downtime as technicians avoid having to pull a carrier out of service for scheduled maintenance or having to replace it with a substitute. Owners and operators can use the performance metrics that the system continuously records to streamline their operations, determining how machines or combinations of machinery are most cost-effective. The data, which easily transports to spreadsheet software, provides documentation useful for billing, for justifying bids and for verifying operation time to customers after project completion. Data is viewed by accessing a web portal. Mobile apps are also available for easy access. In the rare event the unit should be in a remote area of no coverage, or should cell service go down, the software simply continues its documentation. And it even has its own internal battery backup in case external power is lost for any reason. As soon as coverage is restored, it resumes transmission automatically. Joey Giannetto, service manager in charge of fleet maintenance at Terramac®, said the GPS system has obvious maintenance streamlining benefits by

Turbo Filtration Releases EPACTM Filtration System to Reduce Downtime, Boost Fuel Efficiency for Heavy Equipment Developed to combat the rigorous filtration needs of the military vehicles operating in harsh, particulateheavy desert environments, the newly released Extended Performance Air Cleaner™ (EPAC) is a powerful self-cleaning engine air intake system. Created by the Greenlees Division of turbo Filtration, the EPAC System provides superior air filtration for heavy equipment operating in the extreme environments of the mining, military, agricultural, construction and other demanding on and off-road industries. When tested to U.S. Military Specification PRF46736, the EPAC System exceeded 99.99 percent dust removal efficiency. The company claims this level of performance makes it a good option for original equipment manufacturers of crushers, compactors, wheel loaders, excavators and other machinery used in the mining, construction, waste and recycling industries. turbo Filtration's EPAC System, which is also available for retrofits, helps reduce downtime and increase efficiency at even the most challenging job sites. "The EPAC System is proven to operate for months in extremely harsh environments without showing any significant increase in total system resistance," said Tracy Long, turbo Filtration's director of business development. "That optimizes not only engine operation and decreases downtime from dirty filters, but it also boosts fuel economy, which is essential in locations where transporting gas is difficult." Designed to extend the service life of the engine's intake filter, the EPAC System features cyclical microbursts of compressed air, which is injected into the clean side of the engine air filter. This pressurizes the inside of the air filter and blows out the dust from the dirty side through vents, keeping the intake restriction low and maintaining optimized engine performance. These cleaning cycles are automatically adjusted for duration and frequency depending on the needs of the application. "Another distinctive feature of the EPAC System is its propriety, ultra-high-efficiency filter, which is made with fibers smaller than 1 micron, allowing dirt to

cake so it can be easily removed," Long said. "And because the system is automatically cleaning the filter while the machine is running, maintenance costs are also reduced." The EPAC System comes complete with a selfcleaning air cleaner, an electrically operated air compressor and all components needed for retrofit installations. For machinery already equipped with an on-board compressor and air source, the EPAC System can be configured through turbo Filtration's proprietary controller logic for a coordinated operation.

stud slides through the middle of the tank, which is then secured with a mounting plate. “Diesel truck owners are always interested in extending their range and fuel capacity without compromising space in their trucks cargo bed and Titan’s new spare tire tank is an innovative solution to this challenge,” said Paul Nishanian, executive vice president for XDP. “XDP stocks a complete range of Titan fuel tanks and we’re excited about expanding our Titan offering with their new spare tire tank.”

Available now in a 400 to 600 CFM range, the EPAC System will soon be available in a 1200 CFM size. All sizes will be configured using a state-of-the-art demand based control system. This controller features a proprietary algorithm and takes input from two independent sources for precise control. For more information, visit www.greenleesfilter.com or call 800-537-7444. ___________________________________________________

Revolutionary Spare Tire Fuel System Introduced by Titan Fuel Tanks Titan Fuel Tanks recently introduced its new cross-linked polyethylene, Spare Tire Fuel System. The first-of-its-kind fuel system is designed to repurpose the space commonly used to stow a vehicle’s spare tire and fits most American-made diesel pick-up trucks made after 1999. The tank essentially doubles the fuel capacity of most pick-ups and unlike in-bed auxiliary fuel tank solutions, its underbody location means that it has no impact on the truck bed’s storage capacity.

Titan’s electronic fuel transfer control unit gives the vehicle operator total flexibility in managing how they use their extra fuel capacity. The additional fuel can be held in reserve or transferred on-the-go and as the need arises. The controller’s illuminated user interface indicates the tank’s fuel level in increments of one tenth and features a single-touch button that starts the fuel transfer sequence. With one touch, fuel begins transferring from the Spare Tire Fuel Tank to the vehicle’s primary fuel tank and continues to flow until it is automatically stopped by the controller or the button is touched again. A red LED on the controller illuminates during the fuel transfer process. Titan’s distributors in the United States, Canada and Australia are expected to have the new polymer Spare Tire Fuel System in stock on or about December 1, 2013.

The lightweight, one-size-fits-all 30-pound tank is easy for one person to install and includes mounting hardware, a filler kit and an electronic fuel transfer control unit that can be operated from the comfort of the cab. Titan has engineered the system for fast installation and all components come in a standardized package. “Titan’s new Spare Tire Fuel System has tremendous potential and is the most creative and efficient use of space I have seen,” said Kyle Shiminski, category director, Keystone Automotive Operations. “We are very excited to be one of the first to be stocking their product in our warehouses. The lightweight material, ease of installation and concealed mounting location make Titan’s system an excellent universal solution for adding fuel capacity.” Titan’s single tank design accommodates all applications, while mounting hardware unique to the host vehicle’s make and model allows the tank to securely attach to the cross members of the vehicle’s frame. Mounting brackets attach easily and are completely noninvasive, requiring no cutting, welding or drilling. Like the spare tire it replaces, a mounting

BUSINESS STRATEGIES:

Combatting the Current State of Construction in the U.S. and Enabling a Prosperous Operation With the current state of construction in the U.S., more companies are turning to rental of equipment in order to better manage capital investment. This is forcing equipment dealers to grow and manage their rental business in order to tap this market. In addition to just having rental a ‘side business’ of service and parts sales, smart companies are also looking to optimize the rental portion of their business by becoming experts in the field. Rental options and the potential cash flows that can come from it can significantly bolster the bottom line of a dealer. In order to become profitable, a dealer must optimize the rental operation. A rental asset is an asset that makes positive, long-term revenue for the dealer — if, and only if it’s in the field in a productive situation. To do this, dealers should look to apply concepts that have been well entrenched and tested in manufacturing production, such as lean processes and the reduction of waste to achieve success. In addition, the implementation of a formal sales and operations planning (S&OP) methodology will tie operations together across all facets of the business. By applying metrics and measurements for overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), the operating characteristics of these revenue-producing assets can be measured and optimized. Combining these concepts with technology such as on-board digital telemetry from the equipment, integrated back office planning and scheduling systems can produce a rental operations management system that can generate desired revenue for the dealer.

Just because it’s rented, doesn’t mean it’s profitable The first concept that needs to be addressed is the paradigm that if equipment is rented it’s making money. This is not entirely true. For example, if the machine is not performing properly in the field, the end-customer will not be a long-term reference account. Organizations should also consider what happens if the equipment is not returned on time. Proper scheduling and optimal use of assets depends on timing of the return of the equipment, followed by a short changeover, cleanup and make-ready for the next customer. If the next customer is not served properly by having the equipment ready on time, then again, there will be an unhappy customer that views the organization as not being able to deliver. This ends up costing additional downtime from crews and projects as well as good will. If an organization had remote visibility of the asset in the field, they would be able to see if the machine was

performing optimally and if it was being used according to recommended practice. They also would have early warning if the machine were still in the field when it should have been loaded on the trailer to be returned to the shop. Some rental companies would say this is not a problem because they have extra equipment available. We could call that ‘Just in Case’ inventory. The issue is that the ‘Just in Case” inventory of equipment does not add to efficiency. Idle assets are the exact reason the contractors are renting versus buying – so they can have “Just in Time” assets – and the responsibility now falls to you, the rental company, to schedule equipment better than they can. Technology is a necessary component to keep these issues in check.

The Importance of properly scheduled assets – equipment, people, resources Organizations need to start with a formal S&OP process and know what the sales forecast will be to anticipate what customers may need and to get a good view of the future market. Inputs from such sources such as permits, public works projects and others can be useful and feed as inputs into the forecast model. Historical data also is critical. Once the sales demand portion of the equation is formalized, the next step is the production portion – which will require good information on the assets. Inputs such as time for change over, make ready, cleaning and prep time, transportation time, as well as customer delay and delinquency issues, all come into the model. For this to be accurate, good record keeping and a single unified system to tie all the information together regarding turnaround of the equipment are needed. Separate spreadsheets, databases and paper forms are not going to lead to a successful and efficient S&OP process – these need to be automated by real-time technology processes. To bring any system to fruition with success, measurement and reporting processes are required. Some of these measurements are tactical in nature such as the field telemetry. Others are more strategic in nature and bring together multiple types of data that can be combined and viewed in context and turned into information. As we are able to transform data into useful information we then can apply the human functions and turn it into knowledge for accurate fact based decision making. Overall, data transformed to information will provide context to your most important asset – your people – to enable them to make fact based decisions quickly and confidently.

tby Chuck Gallagher | President of the Ethics Resource Group

The Human Side of Business Ethics:

When Good People Make Bad Choices “Never in my wildest dreams did I see this coming. When I first started “borrowing” from the company I had every intent of paying back what I took. Heck, I did pay some of it back…at least at the beginning!” Those were the words Mark said as he confessed that the life he was living was, for the most part, an illusion. Truth be told, Mark, for all his legitimate successes, had over time become no more than a liar and a thief. His choices created consequences that he never dreamed were possible. Mark’s recantation of his ethical fall is all too common. People who fold their arms stating “I would never do something illegal much less unethical!” find that what triggers inappropriate behavior is a basic part of human nature. We are all subject to temptation and therefore can and do make bad choices. If bad choices lead to tough consequences, what can we do to identify bad behavior before it starts? What can we do, as managers or leaders, to prevent unethical choices from being made in the first place? Those are two very profound questions, both of which are at the heart of why it is critical to talk about the Human Side of Ethics in your organization.

How Does Bad Behavior Start? Research has shown that three behaviors are at the core of what would cause or allow an otherwise ethical person to make unethical and potentially illegal choices: Need. Or, perceived pressure that a person is experiencing. Need may come in a variety of forms. The person who is in too much debt likely experiences financial strain – which was the root of Mark’s need. Alice, a church secretary, found her need triggered by her granddaughter’s diagnosis of cancer. Infamous Bernie Madoff’s need was certainly not money; likely, he was triggered by the need to be infallible. Whatever the pressure, need is the core emotional state that starts the ball rolling from a choice that is ethical to unethical. Opportunity. It makes no difference what your need may be if you don’t have the opportunity to satisfy it. Then there is no fuel for the potential unethical fire. Mark was a trusted employee, and with that trust came opportunity. Alice was trusted, and had been for so many years that no one could comprehend she was capable of any unethical activity. Madoff took opportunity founded in trust to a new level. December 2013

Rationalization. Need combined with opportunity provides a firm foundation, but the glue that holds unethical activity together is the ability to rationalize that what is wrong, is right. If you ask most people found guilty of unethical/illegal behavior, they will tell you they felt their actions were legitimate. Mark, for example, rationalized that he was not “stealing” money as long as his intent was to pay it back. Further, he solidified this mental game by paying some of the money back. “Surely, I wasn’t guilty of stealing money as long as I was paying it back,” he stated. The mind can be tricky and when you combine need with opportunity, and can rationalize bad behavior as good, you have the perfect storm to move from ethical to unethical, and potential illegal, behavior.

What Can We Do to Prevent Unethical Activities? As business managers and association leaders there are clear actions we can take that can help keep folks between the ethical lines. Look for Need! We can’t control what needs our employees have but we can be aware of any changes or activities that would suggest an increase in need and the stress that need brings. For example, Mark shared that he been receiving calls at work from creditors which was when the pressure intensified to find a solution. Signs to look for are: (1) calls from creditors or personal calls intensifying at work; (2) abnormal purchases without apparent new sources of funding; or (3) lifestyle changes – marital issues or challenges with aging parents.

Train Rationalization. When employees hear what rationalization sounds like, when we bring to consciousness what is active in the subconscious, it becomes far easier to support each other in our ethical choices. At a recent ethics seminar an attendee commented, “But everybody does it.” As those words were spoken, another participant yelled out, “Rationalization!” The crowd erupted in laughter as people began to see just how simple and easy it is to rationalize the “little things.” And, when we rationalize the little, the larger unethical choices become easier to swallow.

The Value of Good Choices Want to create a culture of ethical behavior in your organization? It’s easy if you think about it. When you start by understanding how good people make bad choices, and follow it with an effective ethicstraining program that reinforces ethical choices and accountability, you have a recipe for success. Every choice has a consequence. What choices do you make for your organization to help keep your most valuable assets between the ethical lines?

About the Author: Chuck Gallagher is the President of the Ethics Resource Group and an international expert in business ethics. Chuck provides training, presentations and consultation with associations and companies on ethics and creating ethical cultures where people do the right thing, not because they have to, but because they want to! Information can be found at chuckgallagher. com or Chuck can be reached via email at chuck@chuckgallagher. com or by phone at 828-244-1400.

Minimize Opportunities. The most effective course of action to keep our employees and associates between ethical lines is to remove opportunities to conduct unethical activities. For example, Mark embezzled money from a client’s trust fund. Had the bank account that Mark used required two signatures, the embezzlement would have been far more difficult. What would Mark do, ask the co-signer to help him steal money from the trust? So, less opportunity equals less chance for unethical activity.

The ‘Seaworthy’ Trailer

hunder Creek Equipment’s fuel and service trailers with industryleading DEF delivery systems have brought efficiency to operations in many industries – agriculture, construction, oil fields, and more. It was the events that unfolded getting one particular trailer to a gold mine operation that has become a near-legend testimony to the quality that Thunder Creek puts behind each trailer. “Last spring, I worked with a man named Steve who runs gold mining operation in Alaska,” recalls Jason Harland, Territory Sales Manager for Thunder Creek. “We built a 750 Gallon Standard Fuel Trailer for him and shipped it to the coast where it was to be loaded on a barge destined for Alaska” “A couple of weeks after we shipped the trailer, Steve reached out asking me when it would arrive,” Harland continued. “Tracking the shipment only confirmed that the trailer had arrived at the port, but Steve was there daily and had yet to see the trailer.” “For weeks, we were unable to figure out what had become of it,” Harland said. Until July – when a fishing boat found it – floating at sea.

How it got there is quite the combination of events, as Steve detailed in the following message: “Unbeknownst to both of us, the trailer was dropped off at the loading yard, where it was immediately loaded onto a barge at the last minute.” “But when that barge arrived at the destination several weeks later, there was no trailer.” “Apparently, the barge hit a storm off southwest Alaska and lost the trailer overboard. It took a five story fall straight into the ocean and drifted for three weeks until it was found way out at sea by a fishing boat. The fishing boat towed the trailer (by rope, of course) back to land.”

The trailer (above) before it shipped from Thunder Creek Equipment and (below) after it was found floating at sea for several weeks. Most of the damage occurred not by the five story fall or three weeks spent in salt water, but when the trailer hit rocks while being towed back in to shore.

“It is apparently not that badly damaged, so that in itself is a testament to the strength and quality of your trailers. It’s partially crushed and I would imagine that after 3 weeks of floating around in the sea there would be salt water corrosion through everything.” “We do rigorous testing on our trailers to make sure they are rugged enough to stand up in the roughest conditions,” says Loren Van Wyk, President of Thunder Creek Equipment. “Never did it cross our minds to test the integrity of our tanks by letting them float at sea for a few weeks… but it’s good to know they can.”
