A large coalition of leading Canadian environmental groups, the Green Budget Coalition (GBC), recently unveiled their final recommendations for the federal government’s 2014 budget. The GBC’s feature recommendations offer a way for Canada to ‘green’ its budget without adding a nickel to the federal debt. The GBC represents fourteen of Canada’s leading environmental and conservation organizations. The GBC’s three feature recommendations for Budget 2014 — reducing subsidies to the oil and gas and mining sectors, implementing the national conservation plan, and protecting Canada’s fresh water — would create important environmental, economic and human health benefits, and also provide direct and ongoing net financial savings for the federal government. “These recommendations are prime opportunities for the Government to real-

About the Green Budget Coalition The Green Budget Coalition, active since 1999, brings together the collective expertise of fourteen of Canada’s leading environmental and conservation organizations, including Bird Studies Canada, Canadian Environmental Law Association, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, David Suzuki Foundation, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Ecojustice Canada, Ecology Action Centre, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace Canada, International Institute for Sustainable Development, Nature Canada, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Pembina Institute, and WWF-Canada. b

The GBC’s final recommendations also highlight ten complementary opportunities for the federal government. These include sustainable energy for northern and remote communities, energy storage, infrastructure resilience and infrastructure for First Nations communities, achieving Canada’s climate target, global climate action, electric vehicles, liability regimes for the Arctic offshore and nuclear power, science capacity, and principles and strategies for a green economy and sustainable Canada.

Kobelco Breaks Ground on New u.S. Headquarters Kobelco Construction Machinery’s fast paced growth has resulted in expedited plans to build a permanent U.S.-based headquarters. The company originally anticipated to build within five years, but started making it a priority this summer, scouting and selecting a location before the close of their first business year. The company recently broke ground on their new facility in Katy, Texas, having signed a nine-year lease agreement with plans to occupy the building by September 2014. This new, expansive 101,300 square- foot facility will not only serve as Kobelco’s North American headquarters, but also as the company’s training centre and parts distribution location for all of the United States, Canada and Latin America. The investment being made in this building by Kobelco signifies the company’s long-term commitment to the North American marketplace.
According to Ron Hargrave, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kobelco Construction Machinery USA, “The new facility being built will allow us to continue our rapid growth. We are pleased to once again be offering our products as an independent brand and are working diligently to ensure Kobelco positions itself to gain continued market share moving forward. We are driven by passion to be a market leader of crawler excavators.” Further supporting the company’s long-term commitment to the North American market is its significant investment in ConExpo/ConAgg 2014. A 165-foot x 210-foot outdoor exhibit in silver lot booth #4408, will mark the company’s homecoming to the show as an independent brand after a 10-year hiatus. The exhibit will not only feature Kobelco’s popular line of crawler excavators, but also a new line of
demolition machines. In addition to equipment, the booth has been designed to create a memorable experience for attendees, one the company hopes their dealers, customers and prospective customers will remember for many years to come. “We’ve been planning our ConExpo exhibit for quite some time,” stated Jordan Lumpkins, Marketing Manager for Kobelco Construction Machinery USA. “Our booth is celebratory in nature. The show’s audience will allow us to communicate the Kobelco story to customers, the media and prospective customers from around the world, while offering visitors the ability to kick the tires and get into the operator seats of some of our most popular models. ” According to the company, when Kobelco Construction Machinery USA relaunched its popular line of crawler excavators as an independent brand earlier this year, it never imagined how quickly they’d reestablish a footing in North America. The signing of more than 50 dealers in its first six months drove a sig-

INCREASE YOUR
BUYING POWER
By reducing your equipment purchase to a simple periodic lease payment you’ve increased the buying power of your budgets. For example, a $300,000 annual equipment budget can be leveraged up considerably with leasing, in comparison to applying the total amount to just a few purchases outright. You can also add extra features or add-ons to your equipment for very small increases in your payment. Discover what’s possible at nationalleasing.com

Wacker Neuson hosted its second annual contracted dealer summit at the company’s North American manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in Menomonee Falls, Wisc., Oct. 1-3, 2013. The highlights of the event included the much anticipated unveiling of Wacker Neuson’s new skid-steer line for the North American market and the chance for one lucky dealer to win the first unit off the production line. Over 150 people representing 100 companies from the United States
and Canada gathered in Wacker Neuson’s manufacturing plant to hear Christopher Barnard, President and CEO of Wacker Neuson Corp., explain the strategy for the development and production of the skid steer product line. As Barnard explained, “We have the vision, commitment and execution to complete this critical piece of the puzzle for our product line.

Wacker Neuson brand,” Barnard said. Wacker Neuson has more than 10 years of experience in designing and manufacturing skid steer loaders for the European market. “The requirements of the customers in the U.S. are different and North America is the biggest skid-steer market in the world. That’s the reason why we decided to design a product line for this important market”, said Martin Lehner, CTO of Wacker Neuson SE. The design of the SSL models will be done jointly between Wacker Neuson’s facility in Hoersching, Austria and Menomonee Falls, Wis., USA. The new models will officially hit the market at CONEXPO, March 4-8, 2014, in Las Vegas with two skid steer and two track loaders offered in a variety of packages and price ranges to fit the North American market. After getting their first look at the SSL product line, the machines were moved to the dirt where dealers could operate the machines. “These machines look and feel robust and tough,” said Sam Eaton, Vice President and General Manager, Knickerbocker Russell Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. “It’s a nice looking machine and was very Continued on page 10

for the rotational molding process. “Rotational molding has inherent advantages over other processes, especially for saving costs in lower volume production runs. With these housings, we have shown that creative design can make rotational molding a viable option for smaller and more complex products.” Creative solution for back-up battery power At North America Traffic, the goal was simply to improve on the capabilities and durability of other Flashing Beacon products in the market. Jordan Sherlock, Vice President of Corporate Services at North America Traffic, said that Rescraft was given the as-
Supply Post Central/Eastern Canada Edition · www.supplypost.com signment as a result of their success with previous projects. “We wanted some original thinking to help us create a polyethylene housing that would represent a new state-of-the-art process. We recognized the problem-solving capability at Rescraft, and they proved they were the right partner.” The new housing contains all the electronic controls and the battery pack for North America Traffic’s solar-powered beacons. A key feature of the housing is its battery compartment, which minimizes contact to the battery itself, insulating it against the effects of the weather. “Cold is the enemy of battery power,” says Sherlock. “This housing gives us a significant

improvement in the flashers’ run time through sunless periods, especially in winter climates. The plastic material also outlasts steel, providing more durable resistance to wet weather and other environmental factors.” Design for efficient production The housing’s development was a highly collaborative process, progressively adapting to new ideas and goals. “It was originally going to be a series of housings, in various sizes,” Todd Stone recalls. “We were able to get it down to a “one size fits all” design. The final step was finding a way to produce it with the box and lid integrated into one piece.” With that goal accomplished, tooling costs for the housing were reduced by as much as 50% from previous designs. North America Traffic’s 4-Season Beacons are utilized in a wide range of settings, typically in tandem with traffic signs such as school zone crossings, crosswalks, and stop signs. The Flashing Beacons will operate in environments with up to 90% humidity and in tempera-
Wireless features allow remote control of the beacons as well as programmed synchronization of multiple beacons.

Future prospects for solar technology With its ability to safely house sensitive electronics in any climate, North America Traffic and Rescraft are now exploring additional applications using solar-powered technology to drive a wide array of sensors and communica-

The final tooling embosses our logo right into the plastic – we expect this design to greatly outlast traditional metal housings! So we’re very pleased to see the Rescraft name get some well-deserved recognition with this award.” b

Maintaining Air dryer Systems With commercial vehicle technology advancing and expanding the use of air for non-braking functions, the experts at Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC stress the importance of protecting air systems from contamination to ensure longevity and performance. As part of its Bendix Tech Tips series, Bendix offers preventive maintenance and troubleshooting insight on air dryer systems and some of their key components. “Systems that can be impacted by excessive oil or moist air – from the air brakes to the engine, emission, and drivetrain systems – are susceptible to failure when that air is contaminated,” said Rick Conklin, Bendix product line director, Air Treatment. “These systems often include technologies that improve productivity and fuel economy, or that are required to meet emissions regulations. Protecting them is important to

keep vehicles on the road, increase their service cycles, and reduce maintenance costs.” An overall air dryer system check should begin with opening the drain valves on the reservoirs to check for moisture in the system. If moisture is present, verify that no external air has been applied to the system, and check the air dryer’s service data sheet to confirm that the air dryer is mounted in the correct location with the correct discharge line length. If external air was applied, drain all reservoirs and purge tanks, restart the vehicle, and allow system pressure to build to the governor cutout pressure. Verify that the proper system pressure has been reached, then operate the vehicle normally. Recheck for water in the reservoirs after one week. If an issue with the air dryer mounting or plumbing is encountered, have it corrected, and ensure that
the discharge line from the compressor to the air dryer slopes continuously downward to the air dryer inlet, with no water traps. Also remember to take into account any significant temperature changes within the previous 24 hours. Ambient temperature shifts of greater than 30 degrees Fahrenheit can cause a temporary accumulation of moisture. If a significant temperature change occurred, continue to operate the vehicle under normal conditions. The small amount of water that may have condensed due to the temperature shift will be reabsorbed by the dry air once the vehicle is in operation. Check the air system again after one week. Whether moisture is present in the system or not, check all the air lines for damage such as chafing, and examine the air dryer mounting bolts for tightness and torque as specified in the manufacturer’s service data sheet. Within the air dryer system, there are three key components to monitor: the air dryer cartridge, the purge valve, and the delivery check valve. Air Dryer Cartridge Maintenance
Depending on vocation, Bendix recommends a one-, two-, or three-year air dryer cartridge replacement on vehicles equipped with a Bendix compressor. • One year or 100,000 miles: Severe service applications such as residential refuse trucks or school buses • Two years or 200,000 miles: Pickup and delivery operations; doubleand tripletrailer line haul trucks • Three years or 300,000 miles: Line haul operations using a single trailer Recommended intervals for trucks equipped with non-Bendix compressors are six months (50,000 miles), one year (100,000 miles), and two years (200,000 miles), respectively. More frequent intervals may be required depending on a vehicle’s age, compressor condition, and operating environment. For better air dryer performance and increased system protection, Bendix recommends using an oilcoalescing cartridge like the Bendix PuraGuard. Oil can be particularly harmful to air systems, deteriorating seals – which can cause leaks – and contributing to

premature damage in a variety of other components such as push-pull dash valves, spring brake modulating valves, and brake chamber diaphragms. Standard cartridges may be replaced with oil-coalescing cartridges, but fleets should always change out oil-coalescing cartridges with like replacements. Additionally, fleets need to beware of low-cost and counterfeit cartridges, which are not as effective as OEM equipment. Purge Valve Issues and Replacement As a best practice in preventive maintenance, Bendix recommends replacing the purge valve assembly whenever the air dryer cartridge is replaced. This will address several potential purge valve issues, including: • Air leakage or lack of pressure building due to purge valve seal wear • “Popping” of the purge valve due to intermittent sticking • Loss of engine turbocharger boost during the purge cycle due to leakage in the turbo cutoff valve Delivery Check Valve Issues and Replacement Signs that the system’s
delivery check valve is in need of replacement include a lack of pressure buildup due to the valve sticking in the closed position, and rapid cycling or loss of pressure during the purge cycle caused by a leaky valve. Bendix recommends replacing the air dryer system’s delivery check valve with every other cartridge replacement. “Keeping an air system operating properly is critical – but it doesn’t have to be complicated,” Conklin said. “By understanding the system’s key components, installing oilcoalescing air dryer cartridges, and following a regular maintenance schedule, fleets can keep their vehicles on the road, operating safely and generating revenue.” Bendix provides commercial fleets, technicians, and drivers with the tools they need to ensure safe operation through assessment, maintenance, and repair. The Bendix On-Line Brake School at www. brake-school.com provides access to the company’s knowledge database and technical resources on all aspects of electronics and air brake maintenance and product education. b
