Tips For Sewer Maintenance
When it comes to properly functioning sewer lines, maintenance is essential. Dealing with a blockage or buildup can be time-consuming, but with the right tools, it can be cleared up easily.
Treat blockages quickly
As trash, sand, leaves and tree roots build up, blockages occur. These can lead to severe flooding. That’s why it’s imperative to treat a blockage as soon as possible. It’s an emergency that needs dealing with immediately so the problem doesn’t become larger.
Establish a routine program: One of the best ways to avoid a blockage and flooding is to have a routine
sewer cleaning program. That way the buildup of debris doesn’t occur. How often you clean the sewer will depend on certain variables including its age, location and what season it is. The fall and spring timeframes are likely to have more buildup.
Utilize combination sewer cleaners
Vactor combination sewer cleaners provide efficiency and productivity. For example, the iMPACT is maneuverable and able to fit in confined spaces, yet its Jet Rodder water pump enables continuous flows through its entire operating range. It delivers operator ease while also being ideal for cleaning sanitary/storm sewers. Also, the Vactor Water Recycling System saves hundreds of thousands of gallons of fresh
water every year as sewer lines are maintained and repaired.
Start before the sewer
When it comes to buildup in the sewer, one helpful way of decreasing that buildup is to ensure some of those materials never reach the sewer. Part of that involves educating the homes and businesses in your community about waste. The other part involves cleaning off the streets. For example, regular street sweeping can keep leaves, sand and other debris from ending up in the sewer.
Train your team
Whether you hire a contractor or employ an internal team, ensure they’re trained for handling sewer cleaning properly. This includes being able to understand how much pressure to apply to clear a blockage. Vactor’s IntuiTouch one-touch in-cab controls along with its IntuiTouch control panel help operators by combining cleaning functions into one panel that can be used with the touch of a button. SP

on the ground is 108 in (2,737 cm). A hydrostatic transmission provides smooth control of speed and torque while enhancing ease of operation.
Superior engineering
The Hyundai HD100 dozer offers superior visibility to the standard 6-way angle blade. Positioning the electronic cooling system at the back of the machine results in an un-obstructed view of the blade. Further adding to the excellent visibility to the working end of the dozer are the narrow front hood, placement of the inline pre-cleaner under the hood, minimized cab pillars, and maximized glass areas including all-glass doors. A rearview camera, high-illumination LED lights and four premium wiper
blades are all standard.
The standard 6-way variable-angle-pitch dozer blade – with a maximum angle of 25 degrees – delivers more precision when grading or moving dirt, clay and other materials. The standard blade float function is ideal for fine finishing or smooth back grading. The machine is compatible with grading technologies that help even novice operators work faster and more precisely, save time and fuel, and maximize productivity. The 2D Smart Blade assist function, which comes standard, makes precision grading easier. The HD100 can also be ordered Trimble-ready from the factory. This optional 3D machine guidance and 3D machine control system activates automatic blade movements based on GPS coordinates.
Options add versatility
An LGP (low ground pressure) option is available when ordering the dozer with a wider 10 ft 7 in (3,226 mm) blade vs. the standard 8 ft 11 in (2,718 mm) blade, along with track shoes that are 4 in (102 mm) wider than the standard shoes. Other available options include a parallel ripper or towing draw bar.
Other key specifications include maximum travel speed of 5.6 mph (9.0 km/ hr), seven track rollers, shoe width of 1 ft 8 in (508 mm), ground contact pressure of 5.6 psi (38.6 kPa) with a standard blade. Ground pressure is 4.2 psi (29.0 kPa) with the optional LGP package. SP

The optional block pattern is designed for more durability on challenging terrains like rock, gravel or uneven ground. It also minimizes ground disturbance, making these tracks a good option for landscaping and turf management.
Ride control reduces shocks and vibrations, which enhances stability for the bucket and minimizes spillage when the compact track loader navigates rough terrain while carrying full loads. The auto return to dig automatically returns the arms to the lowered position, saving operators time while delivering a more consistent digging depth.
The standard 2-speed
the best speed for the job: the higher speed (up to 9.2 mph) for traveling longer distances or quickly moving between job sites, and the lower speed (up to 6.1 mph) for stabilizing the machine during more precise and controlled movements in challenging conditions.
The reversible fan protects against dust and debris, keeping the compact track loader’s engine cleaner and cooler to help extend the life of the machine. The rearview (backup) camera provides an additional view, allowing operators to easily see behind the machine.
An optional around view monitor (AVM) camera system with ultrasonic proximity sensors displays a 270-degree view of the machine’s surroundings for greater confidence when operating the loader in tight work areas or busy job sites.
The ultrasonic proximity sensors further enhance
safety by alerting operators to nearby objects as they back up the machine.
Exceptional Reach
The vertical lift arm configuration allows the DTL35 compact track loader to extend its reach forward, making it easier to deposit materials into high-sided trucks, bins or agriculture mixers.
To help maintain the loader’s stability, a self-leveling feature automatically adjusts the attachment to remain level as the arms are raised or lowered. This stability is crucial for ensuring safe operation.
The bucket shake feature helps shake loose or release materials stuck to the attachment and facilitates quick and efficient dumping without the need to stop and manually clean the machine.

Why Are Old Milling Machines Green?
The green lathes, milling and drilling machines seem like relics from times gone by. These robust machines, often lacking CNC technology, are now rarely seen.
From the 1950s to the 1980s, the so-called Reseda Green was one of the standard colors. Since green causes the least eye strain and helps prevent accidents in the workshop, Germany even had a standard, DIN 1844, until 1974, which specified Reseda Green as one of two machine colors. Even today, these green machines are cherished by collectors and connoisseurs.
Here and there, you can still find these old gems in workshops. Until the 1980s, the majority of lathes, milling, and drilling machines were green. But why was this the case?
A significant reason is the effect that the color green inherently has. Green, a mix of advancing yellow and retreating blue, unites the con-

trasts and meanings of both colors: cold and warm, active and passive, emotion and rationality. This makes green calming and relaxing – perfect for a workshop. Green strains the eyes less than other colors. This not only boosts work performance but also contributes to safety in the workshop. This is also evident in other areas: Operating theatres often use green because it does not glare under bright light and keeps the eyes alert. Similarly, school blackboards are often painted green for this reason. Additionally, there’s another practical reason for the color in the workshop: Green makes dirt and oil less visible. The same applies to BlueGrey, the other popular ma-

Reseda green: from nature to machine
The typical machine green is Reseda Green, also known as RAL 6011. Reseda is a genus of plants that includes Reseda odorata, or garden mignonette. The color of its leaves gave Reseda Green its name.
Reseda Green is listed in the RAL color collection under number RAL 6011. The RAL system is a globally recognized color reference system introduced in Germany in 1927 to standardize and catalogue colors. Each color group has its own number, and RAL 6011 belongs to the green tones, all starting with a 6. The RAL system includes 2,540 colors, with 216 shades

in the RAL CLASSIC collection, including Reseda Green.
There must be order: the German DIN 1844 standard for machine paint
In the post-war period, machines were increasingly painted in green and grey tones. The primary reason was the positive effect of the color on workers. RAL 6011 was officially defined as a machine paint in the German DIN 1844 standard to prevent accidents. In addition to Reseda Green, the classic Blue-Grey (RAL 7031) was specified in DIN 1843 as a possible base color for machines. Until 1974, machines in Germany had to be painted in these colors.
Germany, with its large machinery industry, influenced not only the domestic market but also manufacturers from other countries who adopted the color coding to make their machines compatible and marketable.

The use of these colors, especially Reseda Green, was widespread from the 1950s to the 1970s and had a lasting impact.
From the past to the present
Even today, many industrial machines are painted in grey tones. While Reseda Green is no longer as common, you can still find old green gems in some workshops. These machines from previous generations, without modern CNC technology, are robust, rarely break down, and can still serve well for many decades. Refur-
bished lathes, milling, and drilling machines from the last century in Reseda Green, Blue-Grey, and their shades are highly sought after by collectors and experts. However, the market is small and requires patience. It’s worth taking a look at the used machine market. Because time and again, vintage workshop machines are taken out of production and sold.

Tree Pullers, Sawlogs, and Conk Knots
With a company as big as M&B, there were always special projects going. Loggers were very innovative when it came to getting more production. One of the first special projects I got involved with was the Tree Puller.
They were trying to eliminate trees and debris from entering the streams and lakes. Len Audets’ dad was the inventor of this project. He got an old crummy and cut the back half off of the box. In there he mounts a winch and motor to pull trees over. I was working with Len Audet and his dad on this one. We
had Stan Lowe as an operator and sometimes Kenny Taylor. We had a CO2 rifle with a harpoon-like thing fitted over the barrel. The idea was to shoot the string attached over a limb so we could pull up an extension to hook to the tree. Once this was done, we got the operator to tighten up the line so the fallers could fall the tree away from the water. This was pretty time consuming. One of the fallers, Gus Dobos, was looking at his watch, frustrated with the pace. Finally he said, “Get the hell out of the way!” and proceeded to wedge and fall
EvoQuip Introduces
Bison 170 Jaw Crusher
EvoQuip, a leading manufacturer of compact crushing and screening equipment, is pleased to launch the Bison 170—the latest addition to their jaw crusher range.
With its 700x500mm jaw chamber and diesel-electric drive technology, the Bison 170 is a smart choice for customers aiming to optimize their operations while meeting both economic and environmental goals.
Suitable for both natural rock and recycling applications, the Bison 170 has a range of environmentally friendly features that also offer customers value, high performance, ease of use and manoeuvrability.
Diesel-Electric Drive Technology
The Bison 170 utilizes a fuel-efficient diesel electric drive system, with an onboard generator being used to power the plant. It can also be
plugged in and driven from an external power source such as mains power, which allows for zero emissions processing. This enables customers to meet regulatory requirements and support their own sustainability goals. The engine and power unit can be removed completely, allowing the plant to be powered from an external source with no combustion engine on board. As noise pollution is also reduced, the Bison 170 is an ideal machine for working in urban areas.
Enhanced Efficiency and Manoeuvrability
The Bison 170 offers allround efficiency, with the electric drive enabling customers to run in reverse for
the rest of the trees. “Enough of the BS,” he said.
I was working with Bill Gerluk and Sid Attfield down by the Driftwood Restaurant at Oyster River. This area had been logged years ago, but there were lots of sawlog cedar trees that weren’t big enough to be cut down by hand fallers. A helicopter brought the logs to roadside, where we used highway trucks. The logs were just covered with wispy branches. The loads had to be clean on the outside, so Sid and I spent lots of time cutting them off. Eventually, we chose the really clean logs for Bill to load, keeping the not so clean logs on the inside.
We even worked a couple of Saturdays and Carl Parker would come and help us. On Fridays one of us would go
asphalt recycling and also providing a unblock/jog function to clear a blockage. The deflector plate, fitted as standard, provides belt protection by allowing uncrushable objects to pass through the crushing chamber safely and onto the discharge belt. Finally, the ability to easily manoeuvre the machine from site to site and its simple and intuitive control system ensure transport and set up times are minimized, while up time is maximized.
“We are delighted to add the Bison 170 to our jaw crushing range,” said Andrew Armstrong, Product Manager for EvoQuip. “With a potential output of up to 110tph and low fuel consumption, the Bison 170 is a high performing, environmentally friendly machine that aligns with the EvoQuip Think Green, Think EvoQuip sustainability campaign.”
The Bison 170 is available to order now for 2024. SP

over to the restaurant and get Chinese food for lunch.
I was working with Bill Gerluk down in Iron River on the old haul road, where the first aid shack was at one time. The helicopter had been logging some single stem trees or “jerking” they called it. The grapple on the helicopter was designed to grab the tree from the side. A tree climber would go up the tree limbing and topping it. Later, a faller would put the falling cuts in the tree and the helicopter would come along, snap it off, and take it to the landing. It was really nice wood; broomstick size or better. Bill and I would measure and buck them into logs. We would get four or five fat truck loads a day.
One day I noticed a “conk knot” which was a type of rot. The inside of the log would not be merchantable wood. The wind would come along and blow these trees snap-
ping them off where the conk knots were. It would be very dangerous for anybody to be working above these knots.
Bill got on the radio and called the foreman. When he came we told him about this problem. Immediately he called the Canadian Air Crane’s foreman and he came
over had a look. He took off right away and went to get someone to host a seminar for the tree climbers on how to recognize conk knots. This was a cool job for Bill and I. But it didn’t last, someone with more seniority bumped me back to pulling rigging. SP

improve the efficiency and serviceability of the 8042, without any compromises.
This model is designed to increase productivity and boost overall job performance in pick-and-place applications, such as handling, loading and unloading bulk materials on demanding residential, commercial, urban and suburban job sites across America.”
Keeping job site efficiency in mind, the updated 8042 features a lightweight design with an optimized boom and frame structure to make transportation much easier. Now two JLG 8042 telehandlers can fit on a single flatbed trailer. These updates did not compromise the machine’s key attributes; it still boasts the same maximum capacity and same all-steel construction it’s known for.
The improved cab styling on the 8042 provides a larger LCD display and single-page load charts to deliver the data operators need, while allowing them to stay focused on the job at hand.
The SkyTrak 8042 telehandler offers a maximum lift height of 42-ft 4-in, a maximum reach of 29-ft 6-in, and a 21,200-lb operating weight. The enclosed cab on this model is available with optional air conditioning for comfortable operation on hot or humid job sites.
The hydrostatic transmission on the newly remodeled 8042 provides operators greater control and ease of operation while allowing for inching — the ability to run the boom at high speeds without shifting into neutral — for faster delivery of materials at height.
A multifunctional, electric-over-hydraulic joystick on this unit includes auxiliary hydraulic functions and attachment tilt capabilities, single-handedly elevating job site efficiency.
Improved boom speed is complemented by auxiliary hydraulic connections on the side of the boom head for quick, efficient attachment
changes. More than a dozen different attachments are offered for the 8042, including a variety of carriages, forks, buckets, hooks and trusses.
A new, advanced control system on the upgraded 8042 provides more options like load stability indication (LSI), which senses forward load capacity and displays color-coded visuals to help operators work with higher confidence. Seatbelt engagement and operator presence (SEOP) technology is also available, which combines a high visibility orange seatbelt and visual and audible alarms, as well as limiting machine functions, to enhance safe machine operation.
Other optional essentials on this model include:
• Multi-reverse camera system which displays left, right and rear views from behind the machine during day or night operation on a single, tri-view monitor.
• Reverse sensing system that provides an audible in-cab alarm to alert the operator of any rear obstructions when driving in reverse.
• White noise back-up alarm that emits a direc-
tional alarm when driving in reverse Remote diagnostics and richer telematics connectivity through JLG’s ClearSky Smart Fleet system improve data collection and streamline troubleshooting to help maximize uptime and increase return on investment (ROI). This model is equipped with a 74-hp, 2.9L Deutz diesel engine which does not require diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), reducing maintenance costs. The single compensation and lift cylinder boom design relies on fewer components streamlining maintenance, while the top-mounted telescope cylinder makes the boom more accessible to maintain. A 30% reduction in hydraulic hoses and connections results in fewer potential leak points for improved serviceability. SP

CDE Unveils New ProPress Filter Press
CDE develops its ProPress to meet the needs of the waste recycling, quarrying & mining sectors.
CDE, a leader in the design and engineering of sand and aggregate wet processing solutions for the waste recycling and natural minerals processing sectors, has unveiled its new ProPress highperformance filter press at Hillhead, adding to its stateof-the-art water management and recycling systems.
Developed to meet the evolving needs of the construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling, quarrying, and mining sectors, the ProPress integrates the latest technological advancements to deliver exceptional operational efficiency and maximum water recovery.
Benefits of the ProPress
CDE’s ProPress, which features patent-pending technology, benefits from a flexible design and variable throughput that can be scaled to fit the processing volume of any operation.
Unlike traditional filter presses, the system is dual feed, meaning sludge is fed from both sides of the ProPress for improved efficiency and faster cycle times. Optimized sludge feed pressure also allows for faster dewatering to increase overall throughput. This is further

supported by an overhead beam design that ensures reliability by reducing stress on the unit and improving its durability.
The ProPress features plates that are 25% larger (2.5m x 2m). Greater chamber volume and overall fewer plates serve to provide maximum capacity on a smaller footprint and improve mechanical cycle times.
Safe and efficient maintenance is made possible by integrated plate-shaking technology which addresses filter cake build-up within chambers to help reduce the need for manual intervention. An access walkway provides clear and unobstructed means to carry out maintenance safely and efficiently, and flush mounted drip trays reduce material entrapment and lock in place to provide a secure maintenance platform for operators.
The smart design is supported by an innovative, multifunctional robot, which serves as the main workhorse for the ProPress, controlling plate opening, plate shaking, cloth washing, plate winch, and the maintenance platform.
The CDE ProPress is available in a range of differ-
ent sizes to suit all markets and applications. Available globally, the ProPress is also largely pre-assembled to expedite commissioning, allowing operators to get up and running quickly to help achieve fast return on investment.
ProPress Process
As materials are washed and graded, the water from that process accumulates silt and other residues to form a sludge. A challenging material to process, that sludge is pumped under high pressure into the CDE ProPress, which consists of a sequence of plates, the composition of which forms a series of chambers.
As sludge is pumped under high pressure through the press, solid materials build within the chambers to form a filter cake which is dewatered to maximize water recycling and recover a by-product with multiple applications.
With the CDE ProPress, owners and operators can recycle up to 95% of process water for immediate reuse in their wash plant while simultaneously cutting waste disposal fees by recovering a filter cake product that can be used for pipe bedding and
Terex Washing Systems Marks Five Years Of Manufacturing Filterpresses
Terex Washing Systems is celebrating five years of manufacturing filterpresses.
This milestone underscores the team’s commitment to environmental responsibility in quarry operations worldwide, with their filterpresses processing approximately 100 million tonnes annually across the globe.
“Our journey in the design and development of our own filterpresses began in 2019 and today, we stand as a global leader in delivering complete ‘Feeder to Filterpress’ solutions,” says Mark Fisher, Business Line Director
of Terex Washing Systems.
“The evolution of our filterpress technology underscores our commitment to driving efficiency and sustainability in the quarrying industry.”
Benefits of Filterpress Technology
One of the key advantages of the Terex Washing Systems filterpresses is their efficiency in water recycling, which reclaim over 95% of the water used in the washing process, minimising water consump-
landfill capping. This eliminates the need for settling ponds which typically require extensive maintenance, consume labour resources, and incur significant costs.
Engineering Excellence
CDE’s business development director, Darren Eastwood, said: “Tackling the most challenging of materials is our expertize. We’ve poured over 30 years of engineering excellence into the development of the ProPress. We’ve listened to and worked alongside our customers around the globe to design a solution that is adaptable to their needs, be they in the waste recycling or natural minerals processing sectors.
“Those needs were clear: sustainable water management was key to minimize fresh water dependency and maximize water recycling, all while improving processing capacity, reducing operating costs, and mini-
mizing maintenance downtime. The ProPress is our response to all of this and more and it is already delivering for our customers. By the end of the year, the ProPress will be found on eight plants across three regions, processing around 1000tph of material.
“Our most significant product launch in recent years, the ProPress really encapsulates CDE’s purpose: to create our best world, a ton at a time. It represents a constant push for improvement to make our equipment, our customers’
operations, and the sectors we operate in more efficient and less wasteful. We’re very pleased to finally bring this latest innovation to the wider market to help maximize the availability of our natural resources and reduce the industry’s waste burden.”
Once the ProPress is commissioned, every customer is introduced to the CDE CustomCare team which provides aftersales support to help achieve maximum performance from their equipment. SP

tion and reducing the need for freshwater input. Filterpresses also aid in waste reduction by producing a dry filter cake waste product. This dry cake is easily transportable and can be reintegrated into the quarry or used for other applications. By maximising water recycling and minimising waste generation, these systems help quarry owners meet environmental regulations and demonstrate a strong commitment to responsible quarrying practices.
Another benefit of filterpresses is improved overall efficiency of the wash plant by streamlining the water treatment process. By effectively separating solids from liquids, they produce cleaner water for reuse and optimise the performance of downstream equipment. Quality assurance is another significant advantage as filterpresses provide clean, recycled water to re-enter the washing process, improving the quality of washed sand and aggregates.
Leadership in Technology
Since the inception of inhouse filterpress manufacturing in 2019 at the Terex Washing Systems headquarters in Dungannon, Northern Ireland, the team has refined
its filterpress technology and integrated it into their comprehensive ‘Feeder to Filterpress’ washing solutions. These systems divert waste from landfills while recycling the water used during the process, significantly reducing environmental impact, and improving aggregate production for quarry customers. Beyond innovation, Terex Washing Systems offers comprehensive global support and service. With 40 distribu-
tors worldwide and regional offices in the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Australia, Terex Washing Systems provides localised expertise and service. Supported by a dedicated technical team and advanced laboratory facilities, Terex Washing Systems ensures optimal equipment performance and sustainability throughout its customers’ operations. SP

Canada Updates Critical Minerals List
The Critical Minerals List has been reviewed and updated by Natural Resources Canada, following substantial consultations to develop a more robust critical minerals value chain.
Critical minerals, and the clean technology and energy sources they enable, present a generational economic opportunity for Canada. Canada’s Critical Minerals List is a key resource in determining where to focus Canadian efforts related to sustainable mining exploration and extraction, advanced manufacturing, clean technology, as well as information and communications technolo-
gies and semiconductors. Critical minerals are the building blocks for the green and digital economy and demand for them will only grow throughout the global energy transition.
The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, has announced that the Critical Minerals List has been reviewed and updated following substantial consul-
Canada’s critical minerals
Critical minerals are the foundation upon which modern technology is built. They are used in a wide range of essential products ranging from mobile phones and solar panels to electric vehicle batteries, medical devices and defence applications. Canada’s critical minerals list identifies 34 minerals and metals.
tations to focus our efforts in developing robust critical minerals value chains.
“By updating Canada’s Critical Minerals List, we are taking a proactive step to ensure that Canada’s efforts to seize the generational economic opportunity presented by our critical minerals wealth is well informed by the most accurate market trends, geopolitical factors and science,” stated The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources.
To determine which minerals are considered critical, Canada released its first Critical Minerals List in March 2021 with a commitment to review the minerals identified as critical every three years. The list guides federal policy and programs and signals government areas of priority to stakeholders. Public consultations took place with provincial and territorial governments, other government departments, industry, Indigenous groups and other interested or affected stakeholders.
“Investments in critical minerals projects create good jobs for workers, more avenues for Canadian innovation and lower emissions across the country — all of which form an important part of our plan to build a cleaner Canada and a prosperous, sustainable economy,” the minister continued.
An analysis was undertaken to review all minerals included in the 2021 Critical
Minerals List and consider potential candidates for addition. These analyses resulted in an updated Critical Minerals List that retains all 31 minerals from the 2021 list and an additional three minerals, namely high-purity iron, phosphorous and silicon metal, for a total of 34 critical minerals. These materials are integral to a variety of products, critical to the energy transition are often those in short supply and they are those that are critical to our future economic prosperity.
For example, silicon metal is essential to the manufacture of chips and semiconductors, used in almost any and everything electronic. High-purity iron ore is essential to green steel and integral to decarbonization. Phosphorus combined with potash is essential for food security through the production of fertilizers. Phosphorus can also be used in Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, another strategic opportunity in the EV value chain for Canada.
Critical minerals are the foundation on which modern technology is built upon. They’re used in a wide range of essential products, from mobile phones and solar panels to electric vehicle batteries and medical applications. By building critical minerals value chains, Canada can be the global supplier of choice for critical minerals and the clean energy and technology sources they en-
able.
First released in 2021, the list was updated in 2024 in consultation with provinces and territories; as well as exploration, mining and manufacturing industries and associations; and Indigenous organizations and communities. New to the list in 2024 are three minerals:
• High-purity iron — Essential to green steel making and decarbonization
• Phosphorus — Essential for batteries and food security
• Silicon metal — Essential for semiconductors and computer chips.
What makes them critical
To be considered a critical mineral in Canada, a mineral must meet both of the following criteria:
• the supply chain is threatened
• there is a reasonable chance of the mineral being produced by Canada
It must also meet one of the following criteria:
• be essential to Canada’s economic or national security
• be required for the national transition to a sustainable low-carbon and digital economy
• position Canada as a sustainable and strategic partner within global supply chains.
Our future depends on critical minerals
Critical minerals are the
building blocks for the green and digital economy as they are used in products such as:
• Wind turbines and solar panels
• Electric vehicles and charging stations
• Drones and satellites
• Smartphones and laptops
• Data centres and mobile networks.
Canada’s critical minerals list supports three primary value chains outlined in the Canadian Critical Minerals Strategy.
Advanced manufacturing
• Additive manufacturing
• Advanced materials
• Industrial internet of things
Clean technologies
• Batteries and zero-emission vehicles
• Renewable energy generation and transmission
• Permanent magnets
Information and communications technologies
• Compound semiconductors
• Telecommunications

Hundreds of new jobs in the clean economy will be coming to B.C. as the Province supports a first-of-itskind project to accelerate the build-out of hydrogen production and a province-wide refuelling network.
“We know the cost of inaction on climate change is not just in the price of responding to extreme weather like forest fires,” said Premier David Eby. “Inaction would also cost us new jobs, new investment and new opportunities in growing a cleaner economy. We can’t afford to miss this economic opportunity. That’s why we’re supporting job-creating clean-energy hydrogen projects that will drive new investment and reduce pollution.”
HTEC has announced its H2 Gateway project aimed at reducing emissions in the transportation sector. HTEC plans to build and operate an
interprovincial network of as many as 20 hydrogen refuelling stations (with 18 in B.C.) to support the deployment of fuel-cell vehicles and advance greener transportation solutions. The refuelling stations will be supported by three new electrolyzers in Burnaby, Nanaimo and Prince George, and a new facility that liquefies 15 tonnes per day of byproduct hydrogen in North Vancouver.
The H2 Gateway projects are estimated to create more than 280 full-time jobs to build, operate and support the hydrogen infrastructure. H2 Gateway will also support the development of regional hydrogen hubs across the province where production and use are co-located to lower costs and maximize benefits for local economies.
“Producing clean fuels like hydrogen right here in B.C. to replace diesel use
for transportation helps to reduce harmful pollution while creating new jobs and opportunities in the clean economy,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. “By supporting innovative projects like H2 Gateway, we can ensure that B.C. remains a world leader and attracts new investment in the growing clean economy.”
Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles can travel long distances and have relatively short
refuelling times. As part of this investment, 14 of the 20 new stations will enable the refuelling of as many as 300 heavy-duty vehicles per day. It is estimated that H2 Gateway could reduce emissions from the transportation sector by approximately 133,000 tonnes annually.
The total cost of the H2 Gateway projects with input from all partners is approximately $900 million. The Province is supporting the H2 Gateway project through B.C.’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Under four LCFS Initiative Agreements valued at up to $133 million, HTEC is proceeding with the construction of hydrogen fuelling stations in key communities, greenhydrogen production in Burnaby and byproduct hydrogen production in North Vancouver.
The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) has also announced a $337-million loan to expedite and expand HTEC’s operations through the implementation of H2 Gateway. The CIB’s financing will help accelerate the implementation of hydrogen technology and help mitigate uncertainty in the rate and pace of hydrogen adoption, which have historically been barriers to private investment in sustainable fuel production and infrastructure.
“The initiative agreements that we have under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard are integral to the success of our fuelling network in B.C., which includes hydrogen production facilities and fuelling stations,” said Colin Armstrong, HTEC president and CEO. “Ambitious, transformative proj-
ects like H2 Gateway would not happen without a strong strategic and foundational partnership like the one we have with the Province of B.C.”
B.C.’s new Clean Energy and Major Projects Office (CEMPO) is fully operational and supporting projects such as HTEC’s. Announced in March 2023 to fast-track investment in clean energy and create good, sustainable jobs in the transition to a clean economy, CEMPO is providing dedicated support to clean-energy projects, including in the emerging hydrogen economy.
“This announcement is incredibly exciting for the people of North Vancouver and all British Columbians,” said Susie Chant, MLA for North Vancouver-Seymour.
“The H2 Gateway project will not only create numerous local jobs but also position our community at the forefront of clean energy innovation, significantly contributing to our goals of a sustainable future for all while helping fight climate change. I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to tour HTEC and am impressed with their leadership in this field.”
Quick Facts:
In 2021, B.C. became the first province in Canada to release a comprehensive hydrogen strategy.
More than 50% of Canada’s hydrogen and fuel-cell companies are in B.C., and the province accounts for approximately 60% of research investment in hydrogen and fuel-cell development. There are approximately 50 proposed projects in the hydrogen sector in B.C., ranging from large-scale production facilities to hydrogen-fuelling stations and heavy-duty trucking pilots representing billions in potential investment.
B.C.’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard was introduced in 2008 and implemented in 2010 to reduce B.C.’s reliance on non-renewable fuels, reduce the environmental impact of transportation fuels and spur growth in the Province’s lowcarbon fuel industry.
Under an LCFS Initiative Agreement (formerly called a Part 3 Agreement), fuel suppliers are awarded credits for undertaking actions that increase the use of low-carbon fuels or reduce the carbon intensity of a low-carbon fuel.

International S13 Integrated Powertrain Already Hard At Work
The International LT Series equipped with the S13 Integrated Powertrain is officially in the hands of fleet customers—and the initial response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Saddle Creek Logistics Services, a supply chain solutions company, recently took delivery of its first LT Series equipped with the S13 Integrated Powertrain and, so far, their drivers are thrilled. John Erwin, their senior vice president of transportation, states, “When I talk to our drivers, they tell me they enjoy the experience delivered by the S13 Integrated Powertrain.”
Saddle Creek driver Ed Hadley adds, “The S13 is great all around. The transmission is the smoothest that I have ever experienced. It finds the
right gear quickly and has great torque and power. It is just a really enjoyable driving experience.”
The S13 Integrated Powertrain was designed to be easy to use and simple to service. It’s also the lightest 13-liter diesel engine on the market, which enables greater payload capacity per trip. Plus, the stellar efficiency — up to 15% more efficient — means fewer vehicle greenhouse gas emissions for the planet and greater operating profit for customers. After testing the new pow-
No Truck Parking: A National Safety Concern
A chronic, nationwide shortage of truck parking is forcing America’s professional truck drivers into an untenable position— either violate federal hours-of-service regulations that mandate rest breaks at specific times, or park in unsafe and unauthorized locations.
Approximately 98% of truck drivers regularly experience this fraught scenario—a problem that grows more pervasive as cities across the country prohibit trucks from parking within city limits. This problem poses even more significant safety issues for women drivers on the road.
“The parking shortage isn’t just an inconvenience for truckers and a strain on
ertrain last fall, Paschall Truck Lines, a dry-van freight carrier, decided to place an order. Vic Norris, vice president of fleet maintenance at Paschall, states, “During our time with the S13 unit, we experienced very strong fuel economy, a good driver experience, and 100% equipment uptime.”
The successful launch of any new product is a satisfying achievement, but to launch a product that can dramatically improve a customer’s bottom line is the most rewarding of all. “International Truck is thrilled to have handed off the first S13 Integrated Powertrain units,” said Chet Ciesielski, Vice President, International Truck On-Highway.
“Whether our customers are looking to reach maximum fuel efficiency or comprehensive fleet service solutions, the S13 Integrated Powertrain is a step toward achieving their goals,” said Chet Ciesielski / Vice President / International Truck On-Highway. “We look forward to receiving their feedback on the performance of the S13 Integrated to help inform continual improvements.” SP

supply chains. It is a serious safety hazard for the entire motoring public,” says Jennifer Hedrick, President & CEO of WIT. And it’s a point that leading law enforcement organizations across the nation are now sounding the alarm over.
According to the 19th annual Top Industry Issues list by American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), the lack of truck parking is the second top concern. Across all respondents, the economy was selected as the top industry concern in 2023, Daniel Murray, Senior Vice President for ATRI tells Redefining the Road magazine. “The lack of available truck parking rose one spot this year to the second-ranked issue, followed by fuel prices. The driver shortage dropped two
spots this year to rank fourth overall and driver compensation continued as a top-five industry concern.”
The lack of safe parking options consistently already ranks among the top challenges facing drivers today. That’s particularly true for women, an underrepresented demographic in this industry, who cite the lack of safe parking as a major barrier to more joining the trucking workforce. A recent ATRI study found drivers on average sacrifice 56 minutes of drive time every day to secure parking, amounting to a $5,600 annual pay cut.
“I know that truck parking is an issue that most Americans probably don’t think about every day but it’s a vitally important one, and that’s because it’s a life and death issue,” says U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. He has made funding truck parking projects a priority of his department, pledging discretionary grant funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to states that need and apply for it. SP

Kenworth Unveils SuperTruck 2
Kenworth showcased its SuperTruck 2 demonstrator vehicle at the ACT Expo in Las Vegas.
The truck was developed over a six-year period as part of a collaboration with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) SuperTruck program, designed to challenge truck makers to improve freight efficiency using a diesel engine as the main power source. The project was the result of a joint investment by the DOE and PACCAR.
“The goal was a 100% freight efficiency improvement over our 2009 Kenworth T660, which at the time was arguably the most fuel-efficient truck in the industry. We surpassed the performance of that model to improve efficiency by up to 136%,” said Jim Walenczak, general manager of Kenworth and PACCAR vice president. “This was realized through a combination of improving fuel efficiency up to 12.8 mpg while reducing our combination weight by more than 7,000 pounds. The result was the ability to haul more payload with an ultra-fuel-efficient tractor-trailer combination. SuperTruck 2 provided us with the opportunity to investigate new technologies in an early stage. We learned what worked and what didn’t. As a result, we are able to commercialize new technologies much quicker than we would have otherwise.”
The unique look of the Kenworth catches most of the attention, but the powertrain and driver amenities are just as impressive. “We started with an ideal aerodynamic shape when we started the design of SuperTruck 2,” said Joe Adams, Kenworth’s
chief engineer. “At the start of the project, we asked ourselves, ‘What does the next generation vehicle for long haul transportation look like?’ What we produced pushes the limits in reducing aerodynamic drag while it also incorporates a new powertrain. But, with everything Kenworth, we wanted the SuperTruck 2 to embody ‘The Driver’s Truck’. The result was a systematic approach to developing a futuristic looking, yet relevant vehicle with technologies that have the potential to be refined and commercialized.”
From an engine and transmission standpoint, Kenworth’s SuperTruck 2 utilizes a PACCAR MX-11 engine, rated at 440 hp, which is driven through a PACCAR TX-12 automated transmission. In addition, the truck features a 48-volt electric generator. This creates a “mild” hybrid system and leverages next generation lithium-ion batteries. The batteries are re-charged through regenerative braking. This allows Kenworth’s SuperTruck 2 to operate electric fans, electric steering, and power for electric coolant and HVAC pumps, which were previously mechanically driven. The engine fan alone can draw up to 80 horsepower. The hybrid system also provides an overnight engine-off “hoteling” solution. In addition, the 48V generator powers the exhaust heater in the in-house developed close coupled aftertreatment system which demonstrated CARB 2027 ultra-low NOx compliancy.
The SuperTruck 2 team managed a parallel project for energy efficiency testing by combining a PACCAR MX11 based engine, the mild hybrid based 48-volt auxiliaries and energy waste recovery to bench test a program record 55.7% engine efficiency. “We did this while keeping in mind the technologies we developed needed to be commercially viable,” said Maarten Meijer, PACCAR’s senior engineering manager for advanced technology. “Today’s modern diesel engine demonstrates around 47% efficiency. Reaching 55.7% was a major step forward and could only be done by applying new technologies that had not been explored until today. To put that efficiency number into perspective, if this engine were to go into production, it would lead to a 10% fuel efficiency improvement. That’s an astonishing number.”
The unique look of Kenworth’s SuperTruck 2 features a “center driver” cab, along with a new sleeper compartment. It’s a look that resembles a bullet train. “We wanted to push this beyond just a demonstrator truck,” said Jonathan Duncan, Kenworth’s design director. “We wanted to show something dynamic and what the future of Kenworth might look like. Our headlamps take up the entire front fender of the truck. It’s striking -- you can’t miss it as it’s going down the road.”
The aerodynamic design was enabled thanks in part by the location of the powertrain content, which fits between
the frame rails. This also allowed the engine to be lowered and placed behind the front axle. A reverse- splayed chassis allowed the engineering team to narrow the front of the truck and fully enclose the wheels within the bodywork. The entire hood and the chassis fairings were mounted directly to the cab, and they move with the entire cab as one unit. A variable suspension system was developed to customize ride height and optimize aerodynamics -- Kenworth’s SuperTruck 2 can be raised over rough roads to avoid obstacles, then brought back down when running over smoother interstates. Combined, the sleekness means a 48% reduction in drag as compared to Kenworth’s baseline vehicle.
Even though SuperTruck 2 is powered by a diesel engine, Kenworth is thinking toward the future. The overall layout was designed to be powertrain agnostic. To support zero and near-zero emission solutions, the truck can efficiently package fuel cells, hydrogen tanks, natural gas tanks, or batteries without changing the basic cab.
Enabling more payload was a critical element in the design for the Kenworth engineering team, which also utilized a design specific trailer to go with the tractor. The combination came in at 26,100 pounds – 7,100 pounds less than a typical tractor-trailer configuration (4,100-pound savings on the tractor; 3,000 on the trailer).
“These savings would give a fleet the option of running lighter with the same amount of goods they’d normally put in a trailer, or they could add 7,100 more pounds of payload,” said Adams. “There were a lot of things that contributed to weight savings.
The 10 new concept tires we used weighed 355 pounds less than ‘like’ tires currently on the market, and those tires also had an extremely low rolling resistance – measuring 4.2 on the CRR scale versus 5.0 for typical highefficiency tires. We also found that less fuel was required with the more fuel-efficient powertrain – this allowed us to put on a smaller 80-gallon fuel tank to go the same distance as before. So, here again, we’re saving weight. It all builds upon itself.”
Climbing into the truck is altogether different. The driver-side door has a large opening, and the extendable bottom step supports a stairway-like entry and exit. Drivers have easy-viewing electronics at their disposal -- SuperTruck 2 features PACCAR’s state-of-the-art 15-inch digital display, with a configurable gauge layout, advanced driver notifications, and a user-friendly menu navigation.
Once behind the wheel, drivers have a view like nothing else in the trucking industry. “We made the windshield very parabolic in plan view and smooth to the flow. We also went one step further and eliminated physical mirrors altogether, minimizing drag,” said Duncan. “The integrated digital mirror system enables enhanced rearview monitoring, with trailer tracking capability and night vision enhancements, technology currently available in Kenworth T680 models.”
For drivers off hours, Kenworth took the extra step to design a unique sleeper berth. “One of the features we’re trialing is a bed that folds down over the sofa,” said Duncan. “This provides a separate sleeping and sitting area. We also came up with a neat concept: having a tabletop that rotates down when you’re sitting on the sofa. You can actually eat or work then move the table to a different location without moving anything off the tabletop.”
All told, Kenworth’s SuperTruck2 gives not only a potential glimpse of the future but new ideas for consideration. Said Adams: “Working in the trucking industry is very exciting. There are major challenges ahead as we continue to advance vehicle performance, all while keeping in mind the goal to be a carbon neutral society by 2050.
This will require tremendous technology changes in the trucking industry and partnering with the DOE on the SuperTruck 2 program was a tremendous opportunity to consider what will be possible as we look toward the future.”
The world-class research and development facilities and staff at the PACCAR Technical Center were key to the success of the SuperTruck 2 program. “PACCAR’s continued commitment to technical excellence, quality and innovation are evident in the investments made in powertrain development and validation facilities at the Technical Center,” said Phil Stephenson, general manager of the PACCAR Technical Center. “Capabilities including high-speed test track, climatic chassis dynamometer wind tunnel, engine test labs and advanced simulation tools were key to developing and validating the advanced technologies delivered in SuperTruck 2.”
“I’m very proud of this project,” added Walenczak. “Kenworth just celebrated its 100th anniversary, and SuperTruck 2 builds on Kenworth’s history of providing value to its customers. This project represents Kenworth’s innovation to ensure that our company’s future and our customers’ needs remain at the forefront. I’m very proud of the fact that we have paid tribute to our legacy. This truck is an important milestone for us -- to look forward and see where we might be going in the future.”
In addition to Kenworth’s public-private partnership with the DOE, the following companies and institutions provided product and research development for the SuperTruck 2 program: AVL (engine development), Eaton (powertrain development), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and The Ohio State University.
At ACT Expo in May, Kenworth showcased its lineup of zero-emissions transportation solutions, including the T680 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) and T680E battery electric vehicle (BEV). Kenworth also displayed the K270E BEV and offered a ride-and-drive opportunity for customers to experience the T680 FCEV and X15N natural-gas powered T680. SP

What Are Strategies for Mitigating Women Truck Driver Challenges?
One of the tenants of the Women In Trucking Association mission is to remove barriers for women in the industry. That is why WIT agreed to play a significant role in newly released research that takes a closer look at strategies to mitigate female professional truck driver challenges.
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) released new research identifying approaches to increase the number of women truck drivers entering and staying in the industry – and WIT encouraged many female professional drivers within its community to participate. After quantifying six key challenge areas facing women truck drivers, the research lays out an action plan for the industry – with discrete steps for motor carriers, truck driver training schools and truck drivers –all designed to make trucking careers more attractive to women.
This research was identified by ATRI’s Research Advisory Committee in March of 2023 as a top priority to help further understand the challenges women drivers encounter. The research then
promulgates specific strategies that the industry can implement to increase the relatively small number of women in trucking.
Challenges Facing Women Professional Truck Drivers
Among the challenges identified in ATRI’s research were industry image and perception, training school completion, truck parking shortages and restroom access, and gender harassment and discrimination. ATRI’s research included input from thousands of truck drivers, motor carriers and truck driver training schools through surveys, interviews and a women driver focus group to identify the underlying factors that generate challenges, as well as strategies for navigating and overcoming these barriers to success for women drivers.
“ATRI’s research gives a voice to the thousands of women truck drivers who have found successful and satisfying careers in this industry and encouragement to other women to consider truck driving jobs,” says Emily Plummer, Professional Driver for Prime Inc.
While trucking is certainly not a “one-size-fitsall” profession, truck driving jobs are generally viewed as providing stable incomes, solid benefits, and job variety. Drivers also experience the freedom and independence that comes with traversing the country. That said, the low industry participation rate by women corroborates that key issues and barriers do exist.
As an initial step to understand the challenges faced by women drivers, ATRI surveyed drivers on
12 specific problems initially identified through the literature review and through consultation with a panel of professional truck drivers. Survey respondents identified how frequently they experience each of the 12 problems. Women respondents experience 11 problems more frequently than men, with the sole exception of excessive detention time at customer facilities.
The most frequently occurring challenge for women is no / limited access to exercise facilities – 42.2 percent experience this daily.
Driver-Identified Problems Experienced Daily
The research found that women are drawn to driving careers for the income potential, highlighting the fact that pay parity for women and men is much more prevalent in the trucking industry than in other fields.
The analysis found that carriers that implement women-specific recruiting and retention initiatives have a higher percentage of women drivers (8.1%) than those without (5.0%). The report details how fleets can put such initiatives in place.
“This report provides an important roadmap for the industry to increase the number of women drivers,” says Joyce Brenny, Brenny Transportation President and CEO, who was named as the 2012 WIT Influential Woman in Trucking, one of the most prestigious awards presented by WIT. “We have found tremendous success and improved safety with our women drivers and believe others who utilize this research will also experience success.”

The Compactor Caper
When I began the first article of my time in Vietnam, I mentioned that I was one of two truck drivers who drove tractor trailers hauling loads from Danang back to our base. The other driver, Baker, was a likable, tall, rail thin fellow who always had a mischievous grin on his face.
We heard a rumor that a new motorized sheepsfoot soil packer had been issued to our battalion, and both Baker and I wanted to be the one to haul it north because it was also rumored to be “one aggravating son-of-a-bitch to transport,” plus the fact that both of us looked forward to the challenge. Well, I was the lucky trucker who happened to be in Danang on the day the piece of equipment arrived. That thing looked like an enormous wingless insect on steroids. It was not heavy; maybe 15 to 20 tons before adding water to the reservoirs in each wheel. If you know what an asphalt roller looks like, increase its size by three times, and instead of smooth rollers, imagine these large rollers with hundreds of steel appendages, resembling actual sheep’s feet, welded to each roller. It had articulated steering, as it broke in the middle; it was 12’ wide; it was close to 12’ high. Let me tell you, this son-of-a-bitch could do some dirt packing!
Only a few of the numerous feet of each roller touched the wooden floor of the bed of the lowboy trailer, and I really didn’t have a helluva lot of confidence the thing would stay on the trailer for 75 miles. Heeding the aforementioned Colonel’s advice, the one I came close to flattening with some steel plates [see “Flatbeds and Lowboys,” Supply Post, May 2024, p. 46]. I used every chain and binder I could find on that sucker. I had so many chains holding it down that I don’t think it
would have moved if the trailer had flipped upside down.
The sheepsfoot was so ungodly looking that most everyone, military and civilian, stopped what they were doing just so they could watch it go by. When I arrived at our camp, most everyone came out of their offices (hooches) and the mechanics stopped what they were doing and stood in the shop’s doorways staring at the spectacle.
One of the equipment operators stationed at our Danang base had driven the piece of equipment onto the trailer when I picked it up, so not having a clue how it operated, I stopped at the transportation hooch to ask who would unload the sheepsfoot. The First-Class Petty Officer looked at me and said, “You brought the goddam thing up here, so you get to unload it!” It didn’t take but a few minutes to figure it out, and after backing down the loading ramp, I got the thing in high gear and headed to the shop for them to give it a physical. I went flying past the transportation hooch at a high rate of speed, and the dust cloud pissed-off the First Class, which of course was my intention. What was he going to do? Slap my hand and send me to Vietnam?
Other than the beer loads, this was one of the most enjoyable loads I hauled while “in country.”
Since we were the only drivers assigned to the Danang supply runs, it was imperative that we turn each round as quickly as possible. Our time spent waiting at the convoy point(s) was quite alcoholically entertaining, but it did not make for a quick, round-trip, turn-around. We explained to our leaders the time we lost while waiting for each convoy, even though they already knew this fact, but we also pointed out the fact that it had been many months since there had been enemy activity while travelling through the Hai Van Pass.
Our good officers went to our battalion’s Captain, and within a few days, we both had signed orders allowing us to “Travel anywhere, at any time, in I Corps.” (South Vietnam was divided into four
geographic military sections, or corps, 1 Corps (or I Corps) being the northern most, and it stretched from the DMZ to just south of Danang).
After receiving our new orders, Baker and I both happened to make our initial “Travel anywhere” journeys the same day. At the convoy point, we presented our orders to the Army soldiers. They said they did not care what the orders read, and they told us “crazy-assed Seabees that we would be convoying with them.” We were then, not so politely, instructed to, “Go get your asses back in line!” We found that particular soldier’s sergeant, and thankfully, it only took him one short radio communication to find out our orders actually did mean, “anytime, anywhere.” We were very disgustedly waved to the head of the line and, and we then made the 30 mile up-andover with no problems.
If we got a very early start, some days we could make one round trip to Danang, and then make a one-way trip back to Danang before the road closed at dusk. I’m not sure whether we had anything to do with it, but about two weeks later, the convoy points, both north and south, were done away with, and traffic went up and down the mountain at any time from dusk to dawn. (At least we think we might have helped this occur.)
Just like many other good things have a downside, there were two drawbacks to not having to convoy across the mountain. The first was that we did not have several hours to sit and drink beer. Secondly, it was much harder to use the throttle maneuver when Mother Nature called. (You just had to remember to go before you headed up the mountain.) SP

Sustainable Cold Chain Solutions Are Possible
Thermo King has long set the standard for shaping the future of temperature-controlled transport, transforming the way fleet owners and operators manage their fleets by offering smart, sustainable temperature control solutions throughout the cold chain.
These technologies were demonstrated at the recentlyheld ACT Expo, in Las Vegas.
“As a proven leader in temperature control solutions, Thermo King is committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the industry,” stated Chris Tanaka, vice president of product management for Thermo King Americas. “By offering solutions that meet the diverse needs of our customers at every stage of their sustainability journeys, we aim to transform fleet operations.”
trailers. Preliminary trials run over the course of 2,000 hours and 40,000 miles with over 400 deliveries demonstrate significant progress in reducing carbon emissions and fuel consumption, with results indicating that the use of the TRUs saved approximately 1,300 gallons of fuel and eliminated over 34,000 pounds of CO2 emissions.
ogy and Real-World Applications.” Subramanian highlighted progress toward truck reefer decarbonization through insights from e1000 customer field trials.
Also at ACT Expo, Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc. and Range Energy had Thermo King products integrated into their respective booths:
• Range Energy featured a refrigerated Precedent S-610DE integrated with Range’s electric powered trailer platform. This followed the recent joint announcement to collaborate on advancing the commercialization of electric refrigerated trailers.

Thermo King’s solutions to minimize environmental impact range from high-efficiency and low-emissions diesel options, to all-electric transport refrigeration units (TRUs) and auxiliary power units (APUs).
Following the success of electric, truck-mounted TRUs including the e200, e300 and e1000, the evolve family of products continues to grow with the testing of single- and multi-temp hybrid-electric refrigerated
At ACT Expo, Thermo King offered a glimpse into two upcoming multi-temp product launches. These include the e1000M, a multitemp, all-electric TRU for Class 5-7 trucks slated for launch later this year, and the Precedent S-750M, a hybrid-electric TRU which will allow for temperaturecontrolled trailers to haul multi-temp loads, slated to launch in 2025.

OZ Lifting Launches Wireless Hoist Options
Winona, Minnesota-based OZ Lifting Products LLC is offering wireless options for its electric chain hoist and wire rope hoist.
The hoists can now be ordered as a kit with a wireless adapter included, while the adapter can be purchased separately for anyone who already owns a hoist. The range remains available as a base unit with a corded pendant.
OZ offers the electric chain hoist in 500 lbs, 1,000 lbs., 2,000 lbs., and 4,000 lbs. capacities; and the builder’s hoist in 500 lbs. and 1,000 lbs. capacities. Both wireless options are available for all models, apart from the lightest electric chain hoist. Wireless versions of the builder’s hoist have been available in the past, but this is the first time that the electric chain
Richard Miller, sales manager at OZ Lifting, said: “The wireless options give the user greater flexibility, without the limitation of where the hoists can be operated. We have offered other wirelessly controlled hoists in the past and have always had success with them. We feel that both of these styles of hoist will be popular with a wireless option.”
The compatibility of the adapters, which don’t add any significant weight to the hoist upon which they are attached, will depend on the serial number of the user’s hoist.
Miller added: “Wireless use is favorable when the operator is trying to operate the hoist from a longer distance away or in an area where it is hard to run a traditional, wired pendant [you can only use one or the other]. The wireless option gives the user more flexibility and freedom while making the lift, whether they are sourcing a new lifting product or buying an adapter to fit to an existing hoist. The plug-and-play adapters can be installed in minutes; there is no wiring.”
Already popular among dealers and end users alike, the electric chain hoist offers overload protection; a highperformance friction clutch is integrated with the load brake, designed to prevent overloading the hoist. A forged carbon steel load hook boasts a heavy-duty latch, while the bottom hook features a thrust bearing to allow 360-degree
• Isuzu showcased an e300 integration on an all-electric Isuzu NRR electric vehicle (EV), demonstrating a zero-emission box truck solution for the commercial trucking industry.
“We recognize the power of collaboration for driving industry progress,” continued Tanaka. “Strategic collaborations, such as our partnerships with Isuzu Commercial Truck of America and Range Energy, underscore our commitment to providing our joint customers with cutting-edge technology that align with OEM developments and propel net zero-emission transportation forward.” SP

rotation to prevent twisting of the load chain; the top hook is rigid. A load sheave provides better distribution of the load and smooth lifting with reduced vibration and wear; and precision machined gears are heat treated for strength and durability.
The electric builder’s hoist, meanwhile, is lightweight and compact for convenient mounting. A dynamic and mechanical brake provides instant and safe braking, and upper and lower limit switches provide additional safety. Galvanized wire rope with a 360-degree weighted hook includes a safety latch, while other features include quick release pendant and power cords; and the ability to operate on standard domestic power supply.
Wireless versions and adapters for the electric chain hoist and builder’s hoist are in stock and ready to ship. SP
