ARA WINS ANSI MEMORANDUM FIGHT FOR MEWPS
The American Rental Association (ARA) has won two separate appeals before the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Board of Standards Review, ultimately forcing the A92 committee to remove all reference and requirements for a Manual of Responsibility (MoR) to be placed on mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs).
This means that owners of MEWPs do not have to maintain any MoR past or present on any MEWP going forward.
“This is a huge victory for the equipment and event rental industry,” says John McClelland, ARA vice president for government affairs and chief economist, as well as the ARA’s main representative on the A92 committee. “Eliminating the MoR requirement will save our industry millions of dollars going forward. In addition, our appeals have established a precedent making it clear that no ANSI committee can make such a requirement without running afoul of ANSI’s commercial terms.”
The ANSI A92 Committee published its standards for MEWPs on Aug. 12, 2020. The suite of standards has been in development since 2010, but they have been delayed due to appeals filed by ARA over the inclusion of an MoR that was initially required to be placed and maintained on each machine.
ARA successfully argued that the MoR was a violation of ANSI’s commercial terms because it was a copyrighted document that was only available from the Scaffolding Access Industry Association (SAIA), which also is the secretariat of the A92 committee.

UNITED RENTALS CREATES LEARNING PLATFORM FOR SALES DEVELOPMENT
United Rentals has created an innovative learning platform to roll out sales training consistently throughout North America that has led to reduced onboarding time, decreased turnover, and increased sales rep effectiveness.
United Rentals created a custom sales development initiative using the Brainshark sales readiness platform, United Rentals’ Sales Development Program. The program is focused on not only the equipment United Rental offers, but also the importance of the key messages associated with the company and its offerings.
“United Rentals provides a comprehensive Sales Development Program to help new sales reps learn the construction and equipment rental business. We teach and mentor on the best ways to sell and provide solutions for customers, as well as about our product advantages and differentiating features. We’re passionate about helping our people grow professionally and embrace teamwork in everything they do,” said Jeff Cummings, director of sales development at United Rentals.
The United Rentals Sales Development Program trains sales reps on four main pillars: • Equipment industry knowledge • Sales methodology and how the company goes to market • Sales strategy and how it competes • Sales tools, both internal and external
Cummings and his team found that having all the training and content available in digestible pieces – nothing was too long or in-depth – was critical to the program’s success. Within Brainshark, United Rentals broke larger concepts into micro training to make it easier for sales reps to review and retain. To read more, visit forconstructionpros.com/21627975.

BOOTH #5014 DEERE, HITACHI DISSOLVE 30-YEAR EXCAVATOR JOINT VENTURE
Hitachi Construction Machinery (HCM) and Deere have announced plans to dissolve their longstanding joint venture in the Americas.
The move comes as Hitachi moves to “determine its own destiny in the Americas,” according to HCMA CEO Alan Quinn, with plans for new equipment, technologies, and an expanded dealer presence in the Americas.
The dissolution of the joint venture will be completed Feb. 28, 2022. At the same time, HCM is announcing that HCMA will assume all product and service operations for the Americas in spring 2022. HCMA will continue to be a whollyowned subsidiary of the Hitachi Construction Machinery Group.
HCMA is planning to add more than 60 new local positions to strengthen its North American headquarters in Newnan, Ga.
Details from Deere The origins of Deere and Hitachi’s joint venture reach all the way back to an original supply relationship established in the early 1960s. After nearly three decades of working together, the two companies entered the joint venture in 1988, with plans to produce excavators in Kernersville, N.C.
In 1998, Deere-Hitachi expanded the relationship to include the production of forestry swing machines at Deere-Hitachi Specialty Products in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. In 2001, John Deere and Hitachi combined their marketing and distribution efforts in the Americas. In 2011, excavator manufacturing was expanded with the addition of the Deere-Hitachi Brazil factory in Indaiatuba, Brazil.
According to Deere: • John Deere will acquire the Deere-Hitachi joint-venture factories in Kernersville, NC; Indaiatuba, Brazil; and Langley, B.C. • John Deere will continue to manufacture Deere-branded construction and forestry excavators currently produced at the three Deere-Hitachi factories. These locations will discontinue production of Hitachi-branded excavators. John Deere will continue to offer a full portfolio of excavators through a supply agreement with Hitachi. • John Deere’s marketing arrangement for Hitachi-branded construction excavators and mining equipment in the Americas will end; Hitachi will assume distribution and support for these products.
“For many years, John Deere and Hitachi enjoyed a mutually successful partnership in the Americas,” says John Stone, president, John Deere Construction & Forestry Division and Power Systems. “As we turn the page to a new chapter of Deere-designed excavators, we remain committed to supporting our customers of today and tomorrow.” To read the full article and see what Hitachi’s plans are, visit forconstructionpros.com/21615312.

The sale of Doosan Infracore to Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings Co. (HHIH) has officially closed. Doosan Infracore now becomes a subsidiary of the newly created Hyundai Genuine (HG) group alongside Hyundai Construction Equipment (HCE), as two independent construction equipment companies under HHIH. HG will act as the intermediary company of HHIH Group’s construction equipment businesses and will be leading both DI and HCE to maximize the company’s efforts and focus on the construction equipment industry. Together the two brands will combine as a global top 5 player.
It was first announced in 2020 that Doosan Group was looking to sell its shares of the company to help improve its finances and repay debts held by Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, and that Hyundai was a top contender early on. In December 2020, it was announced that Hyundai was the preferred bidder.
Hyundai signed a deal in February 2021 to acquire a 35%

It’s Not Just for Rocks!
stake in Doosan Infracore; its subsidiary Hyundai Genuine Co. took over that stake in April. Per The Korea Herald, regulators’ approval of the deal will also aid Doosan Heavy with its corporate restructuring. The deal will also help Hyundai Genuine to increase its market presence in Korea as well as the global construction market.
The combination of Hyundai Construction Equipment and Doosan Infracore will reportedly create a new construction equipment powerhouse. The two entities currently stand at No. 20 and No. 9 in the global construction equipment market, according to a Pulse News report. The joining of the two companies is set to create the world’s fifth-largest construction equipment player, and No. 1 in South Korea.
In addition, the acquisition will further expand Hyundai
Construction’s global presence. Doosan Infracore’s excavator operations will also help to enhance Hyundai’s excavator engine business.

PLAN FOR WORK TRUCK SHORTAGES TO LINGER DUE TO TIGHT MICROCHIP SUPPLY
If you are struggling to find new work vehicles, you are not alone. There is currently limited availability coupled with elevated prices.
As the supply chain continues to recover, we may have already seen the worst of the shortage. “Availability has made a slight improvement,” says Pannemann. But don’t expect major improvements for a while. “As far as when we will see availability improve, it will take at least a year.”
If you will be needing to add trucks to your fleet, procrastination is not a viable strategy. You will need to be proactive and order well in advance. In certain situations, you may need to get creative about alternative ways to source your work truck fleet until some form of normalcy returns.

FELLING TRAILERS’ 2021 TRAILER FOR A CAUSE BENEFITS FIREFIGHTERS
Felling Trailers conducted its ninth annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to benefit a non-profit organization, which for 2021, was the Minnesota Fire Fighters Foundation.
Felling Trailers wanted to help generate awareness about the hidden health dangers and cancer risks firefighters face while serving and beyond. So, Felling manufactured and painted one of its most popular trailers the signature fire engine red with custom fire engine gold pinstriping, bearing the Minnesota Fire Fighters Foundation emblem.
The online auction of the trailer ran for seven days, from Sep. 5 through Sep. 11. Several Felling Trailers’ suppliers have joined to support MNFFF by sponsoring the trailer build.
MNFFF’s mission is to provide funding and resources for fire departments to obtain the best available equipment, technology, and training. They are dedicated to maintaining the highest level of public safety in their communities. The State of Minnesota has 774 fire departments. MNFFF’s Hoods 4 Heroes campaign goal is to provide 500 particulate hoods to those departments who cannot afford this type of PPE or have applied for grants and been denied.

OSHA CALLS ON INDUSTRY TO COMBAT UNIQUE KILLER OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
Hazards often associated with workplace deaths in the U.S. construction industry—including falling, being struck-by or crushed by equipment or other objects, or suffering electrocution—are well known. But a recent study finds that another potential killer is taking lives in the industry at an alarming rate.
In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that men working in construction have one of the highest suicide rates compared to other industries. Their rate of suicide is about four times higher than the general population.
While the CDC continues its research to understand the disparity, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has formed a task force of industry partners, unions, and educators to raise awareness of the types of stress that can push construction workers into depression and toward suicide. In addition to alerting stakeholders, the task force encourages industry employers to share and discuss available resources with their workers. The task force called on the industry to take part in a weeklong Suicide Prevention Safety Stand-Down, September 6-10, to raise awareness about the unique challenges construction workers face. The stand-down coincided with National Suicide Prevention Month in September. “Work-related stress can have severe impacts on mental health and without proper support may lead to substance abuse and even suicide,” stated Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Jim Frederick. “Workers in construction face many work-related stressors that may increase their risk factors for suicide, such as the uncertainty of seasonal work, demanding schedules and workplace injuries that are sometimes treated with opioids.”
“Like many workplace fatalities, suicides can be prevented,” said OSHA Acting Regional Administrator Billie Kizer in Kansas City, Missouri. “We encourage employers to use all available resources, familiarize themselves with the problem and learn to recognize the warning signs of depression. We also urge workers to seek help if they feel overwhelmed or overcome by a loss of hope.” To read the full article and view additional resources, visit forconstructionpros.com/21627381.

HY-BRID LIFTS SEES INCREASED DEMAND, 68 PERCENT SALES GROWTH
Hy-Brid Lifts has released record sales in the first half of 2021, with projections for the second half of the year on track to continue in a positive trend.
Global sales rose 68 percent compared to the previous year, spurred by a 110-percent growth in Push-Around Series sales. The Pro Series category reported a growth of 41 percent, driven by the company’s lightweight entry into the 19-foot scissor lift market with the PS-1930. Demand for the ZT-1630 boosted Zero-Turn Series sales by nearly 200 percent. “We have seen a tremendous increase in demand for our products globally as our customers and end users see the value of our innovative product portfolio,” said Marshall Shaver, vice president of sales and marketing, who attributes the company’s six-month sales to being uniquely positioned in the access market. “Our ability to navigate through challenging supply chain issues, steel cost increases, and labor shortages allows us to continue to provide equipment with little disruption.” To read more, visit forconstructionpros.com/21602918.
