LiuGong North America is pleased to announce that they will now be offering the LiuGong branded TwinLock Powerlatch quick couplers in the North American market. The quick couplers have been designed to fit the LiuGong 915D, 922D, 925D, 936D and 950E. “LiuGong Construction Machinery in North America has been given a strong advantage by partnering with Miller, via LiuGong headquarters in China, to be able to offer the PowerLatch coupler to our North American dealer base. The PowerLatch quick coupler
has been extremely successful worldwide and is a leader in safety and compliance,” explains North American Sales Manager, Marcus Menough. LiuGong chose to attach its name to the Miller brand as it exemplifies safety, quality, reliability and longevity. The easy service capability of the PowerLatch mirrors LiuGong machines in simplicity of design. “This partnership with Miller further exemplifies LiuGong’s commitment to our dealers and marketplace of providing a world class, “full line” of equipment solutions,” added
March 2014 Marc Dowdell, President of LiuGong North America. “Cash flow is a critical component to contractors and dealers. Both couplers and buckets can be purchased, financed, and warrantied as part of one equipment transaction. Equally as important, Contractors and Dealers can still utilize their existing attachments from their fleet, thusly maximizing their overall fleet investment and conserving cash flow,” continued Marc Dowdell. LiuGong North America is planning to expand its coupler and attachments offering in the near future. “As our business continues to grow and we sell more excavators in this market a big challenge for our customers is to have the flexibility to pick up competitor’s attachments. The PowerLatch gives our machines that capability in a solution directly supplied from LiuGong North America,” says Marcus Menough. The quick couplers are available for immediate dealer purchase and can be viewed at the ConExpoCon/Agg show March 4 – 8, 2014 in Las Vegas. b

FLO Components To Feature SKF MonoFlex Fluid Grease System At Truck World 2014 Automatic Greasing Systems specialist FLO Components Ltd. will be featuring the SKF MonoFlex Fluid Grease automatic lubrication systems at Truck World 2014 this April. According to FLO’s Marketing Specialist Gabriel Lopez, Truck World 2014 will be FLO’s official introduction of the SKF brand of autogreasing systems to the trucking industry in Canada. “FLO Components has been ‘Meeting Customers’ Needs Better’ as lube solutions experts and trusted lubrication advisors with the Lincoln brand of equipment and solutions since 1977. Lincoln was purchased outright by the SKF Group of Sweden in October 2010. Last year, FLO became the first dual brand System House in Canada for both Lincoln and SKF brands. At the same time, SKF Lubrication Business Unit restructured its frontline
operations and appointed FLO as its full service & support partner for Ontario. FLO now stocks a full inventory of SKF lube product, and we’re able to offer the entire spectrum of SKF Lube Solutions, for all applications including on-road trucks and vehicles.” Commenting on the SKF line, Mike Deckert, VP of FLO Components said; “We’re very excited about the SKF MonoFlex for the trucking industry. It is an ideal solution for anyone wishing to use a fluid type grease NLGI #000 to 00. One of the most exciting aspect of the MonoFlex for our customers is that they can use any brand of fluid grease that meets the system specifications – they don’t have to use a specific brand. ” Other advantages of the MonoFlex, according to FLO include: • Totally Electric Pump – there is no air required
and therefore no impact on the truck air system. • Pressure Gauge – installed at the pump as a standard, a pressure gauge allows for visual monitoring of the system pressure during regular maintenance inspections and helps you trouble-shoot the pump and main line. A fluttering gauge for example, would tell you there is air in the supply line. Other systems rely solely on a pressure switch to tell you whether or not the system has reached the required operating pressure, but nothing more. • Adjustable Grease Distributors – individual piston distributors can be easily adjusted by changing the screwin volume caps, to increase or decrease the volume of grease to each point, without having to disconnect any of the grease lines. FLO will be exhibiting multiple different working demos at the Truck World 2014 Show on April 10-12, in Booth #5638, Hall 5, and system experts will be on hand to answer questions. b

Gehl Introduces New Z45 GEN:2 Compact Excavator The all-new Gehl Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator brings efficient performance to the market in a stateof-the-art package. This new model incorporates innovative features that enhance productivity, operator comfort, efficiency and cost savings on the jobsite. The Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator includes many upgrades from the previous Z45 model. The new Z45 GEN:2 is equipped with a 37.7 hp (28.1 kW) electronicallycontrolled Yanmar Tier IV emissions-certified diesel engine which provides up to 20% less fuel consumption than the previous Z45 model and features an electronic throttle for precise control. Two other important cost saving features include ECO mode and auto deceleration. When activated by the flip of a switch inside the cab, ECO mode will reduce the engine speed by 10% without sacrificing power. Utilizing ECO mode will save fuel when full speed is not necessary. Auto deceleration mode improves fuel economy, lowers noise levels and reduces emissions by decreasing the engine speed to idle after four seconds without hydraulic movement. Multiple improvements have also been made to the operator’s
compartment to enhance productivity and controllability. To address productivity, the controls on the Z45 GEN:2 have been improved to include a proportional auxiliary hydraulic rocker switch which vastly enhances attachment options. This allows the operator to adjust the hydraulic flow for optimal attachment performance. The operator can easily select standard ISO or an optional backhoe control pattern with a turn of a mechanical lever. An integrated digital display located in a highly-visible area features recordable maintenance history with adjustable time intervals and reminders. The display unit also records hours used for the past 90 days and can be monitored without starting the engine. The operator’s compartment has been enlarged and redesigned to offer the most advanced features in operator comfort. A 4-way adjustable seat offers custom height, weight and backrest positions with a retractable belt. An optional cab enclosure, with heat or heat/air-conditioning systems, provides comfort and protection in extreme weather conditions. An adjustable suspension seat and arm rests provide personalized comfort.
March 2014
Serviceability on the Z45 GEN:2 has been greatly enhanced over the previous model. Tool-free access is made possible by large swing-out doors on the back and righthand side of the machine. These compartments reveal the entire engine and daily maintenance points; radiator, oil cooler, battery and fuses. Remove the cab floor panels, kick plates and tip the seat back to reveal the starter, alternator, fuses, control module and control valve. A left-side front panel reveals the control pattern selector and the left-side rear panel is a handy lockable toolbox for operator necessities. On units equipped with an enclosed cab and air-conditioning, the A/C components are easily accessible via a tool-free access door on the upper-rear part of the machine. Features that carry over from the previous model include the Power-a-Tach hydraulic quick coupler which allows attachment changes by the flip of a switch inside the cab. The operator leaves the seat only to engage and disengage the safety pin. Other important performance features include a highstrength boom with sliding cylinder guards that protect the rods from damage and the high-performance hydraulic system with two variable and two gear pumps for simultaneous operation without loss of power. A factory-installed hydraulic thumb attachment option further enContinued on page 8

hances versatility and jobsite adaptability. A large operator’s compartment with a cabforward design provides excellent visibility to the front, the cutting edge, and the sides of the loader. Lowered rear towers provide excellent visibility to the rear. A side-folding restraint bar and armrests with multiple adjustments move up and down with the seat to enhance operator comfort and safety. New on the RT175 GEN:2 and RT210 GEN:2, the front of the armrests have been elevated approximately 8 degrees, adding two inches of added clearance between the seat and lap bars to provide even more room for the operator’s legs and thighs. The
Supply Post Central/Eastern Canada Edition · www.supplypost.com joystick and hand/foot control towers are fully adjustable for further customization of the cab. A standard mechanical or optional air-ride suspension seats deliver outstanding comfort. Applications The Gehl Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator is positioned in the North American market to meet the needs of contractors, agricultural customers, and the rental industry. Gehl Compact Excavators excel in applications such as grading and excavating, trenching, digging, demolition and recycling and light utility construction. Their compact nature and zerotail-swing design make them ideal in situations where space is limited. Interview
“The market demand is higher than ever for an innovative, powerful excavator with low operating costs,” says Nathan Ryan, Product Manager for Gehl compact excavators. “The new Gehl Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator meets and exceeds these demands by incorporating a Tier IV emissions certified engine and power conserving features that result in up to a 20% fuel savings over the previous Z45 model. Add in the new state-of-the-art features - proportional auxiliary hydraulic controls, digital display, oversized re-designed cab and serviceability improvements - and owners will find the new Gehl Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator the ideal machine for maximum performance.” b

Kobelco To Host Fundraiser At ConExpo Kobelco Construction Machinery USA recently announced plans to donate $100,000 to the non-profit organization Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) from the sale of 5 Kobelco SK350 limited edition crawler excavators designed to support our troops.

Graphic displays nearby the machines will thank the 5 authorized Kobelco dealers who have purchased the SK350’s as well as the end-user retail customers who will put them to work in the field. “It has been a tradition for Kobelco to include a patriotic component in our ConExpo display every three years when this expansive show is held in Las Vegas. This year’s theme was a natural tiein to the WWP and we are excited to be able to raise funds to help with their efforts in honouring and supporting the needs of our veterans.

Ritchie Bros.Completes Final Auctions of 2013 Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated sold approximately $3.8 billion of equipment at 356 unreserved auctions around the world in 2013. This represents a 3 percent decrease in gross auction proceeds (GAP) compared to the record GAP the company generated last year. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the company achieved gross auction proceeds of $1.1 billion, a record for the fourth quarter and an increase of 10percent compared to the same quarter of 2012. Ritchie Bros. recently conducted its final unreserved auctions of 2013, in: Chehalis, Wash.; RaleighDurham, N.C; and, St. Louis, Mo. The company plans to release its full audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for 2013 on March 4, 2014. “We achieved some notable milestones during 2013,” said Peter Blake, CEO of Ritchie Bros. “In Canada, our most established market, we continued to grow and again surpassed gross auction proceeds of over $1 billion. We also held our first auctions in both China and Finland, and reached a new record for online bidders and buyers. In fact, our online bidders purchased
more than $1.4 billion of equipment in 2013, or approximately 37 percent of our total sales. We’re pleased that our customers are finding convenience through our online bidding option, and comfort in the ability to test and inspect the equipment being sold in our yards before each auction. More than 43,000 consigners trusted us to sell their equipment at our industrial auctions during the year, and over 425,000 potential buyers registered to bid on items.” Blake continued, “This was an important year for our business. We had a focused strategy to grow our sales force and improve the performance of our underwritten (or ‘at risk’) business. On both counts, we have made great progress. During 2013 we grew our sales force to the largest it’s ever been, and we continued to invest in new technology tools for our sales team that will provide better insight into our customer base, enhance our service levels and improve sales productivity. As well, the much improved performance of our underwritten business allowed us to achieve record quarterly auction revenue rates during 2013. We also successfully launched EquipmentOne.com, a new online
non-auction service offering that has allowed us to reach new customers and broaden the solutions we offer equipment owners.” “Having made important investments in our auction platform over the last several years, our worldwide network of 44 sites is now extremely well equipped to handle expanding auction volumes. Our focus going forward is on driving growth in gross auction proceeds to deliver the earnings leverage that exists in our model.” Dividends Ritchie Bros. increased its quarterly cash dividend in August 2013, and paid out total dividends during the year of $53.9 million, compared to $50.0 million in 2012. Online auction bidding Ritchie Bros. attracted record online bidder registrations and sold approximately $1.4 billion of equipment, trucks and other assets to online bidders in 2013, an 8 percent increase over 2012 and the highest amount ever sold online by the company in one year. Auction site network expansion During 2013 Ritchie Bros. opened three new auction sites. On March 19, 2013, the company opened a new permanent auc-
tion site in Geelong (Melbourne), Victoria, Australia. This is the second permanent auction site in Australia, complementing Ritchie Bros. existing site in Brisbane. On April 18, 2013, the company opened a regional auction site in Beijing, China – Ritchie Bros.’ first auction site in China. On October 11, 2013, the company opened a regional auction site in Manchester (Hooksett), New Hampshire, US. This site was opened to replace the company’s prior site in Hartford, Connecticut, as the Manchester location is more accessible and convenient for customers. First auction in China Ritchie Bros. held its first ever unreserved auction in China on April 18, 2013, and its second unreserved auction there on Nov. 21, 2013. Ritchie Bros. auctions in China are the culmination of many years working with Chinese authorities and equipment owners to establish a convenient and transparent channel for used equipment transactions in China, and the export of equipment from China through the Tianzhu Free Trade Zone. Six-day auction in Orlando, Florida breaks online sales record Ritchie Bros. held its largest auction of the year in Orlando, Florida on Feb. 18 – 23, 2013. This six-day auction broke the company record for total online sales at one auction, as online buyers generated more than $53 million in GAP, or 31 percent of the $176 mil-
March 2014
lion of total GAP generated at the auction. Over CA$1 billion in sales achieved for second consecutive year in Canada For the second consecutive year, Ritchie Bros. sold more than CA$1 billion of equipment and trucks in its Canadian auctions. The milestone was achieved at the Ritchie Bros.’ unreserved public auction in Edmonton, AB on Dec. 12 – 13, 2013. Other 2013 highlights from Ritchie Bros. Canadian auctions include: • The six auctions at Ritchie Bros. Edmonton, AB site surpassed CA$425 million, a record for annual sales at the site; • A record level of online buyers at the Edmonton, AB auction on April 24 – 26, 2013, where more than CA$36 million of equipment was purchased by online bidders; • The largest agricultural auction in Ritchie Bros. history was held in Saskatoon, SK on Dec. 3, 2013, where more than CA$43 million of agricultural equipment was sold. Ritchie Bros. Financial Services finances over CA$100 million in 2013 Ritchie Bros. Financial Services (RBFS) provided over CA$100 million of financing to equipment buyers during 2013, a record for the business. This represents a 122percent increase in activity over the prior year and continued growth since its incepScalper 107T Screen
tion in July 2011. RBFS works with select lending partners to find financing solutions for customers purchasing equipment, including loans and lease-toown programs. RBFS does not utilize company capital in its financing activities. Launch of Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne Ritchie Bros. commercially launched Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne on April 8, 2013. Complementary to the company’s flagship unreserved auction business, Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne (www. EquipmentOne.com) is a safe and secure online marketplace for the private sale of equipment and materials where buyers and sellers can negotiate, complete and settle their transactions. This new solution provides equipment owners with the ability to control the selling price and the process during the sale of their items, and allows the company to reach new customers whose needs differ from those attracted to Ritchie Bros.’ auction services. Website statistics The Ritchie Bros. website (www.rbauction. com), which is a gateway to the company’s online bidding system and showcases upcoming auctions and equipment to be sold, attracted more than 6.3 million unique visitors in 2013, a 12 percent increase compared to last year. The website was viewed over 14.7 million times during 2013, an increase of 15 percent compared to the prior year. b Scalper 107D Screen

Bobcat M-Series Excavator Instrumentation Improves Functionality A new forward-mount instrumentation system designed for enhanced functionality and improved ergonomics is available for six existing models of Bobcat compact excavators. The new instrumentation system, introduced with the E32, E35, E42, E45, E50, and E55, presents operators of Bobcat excavators with many of the functions, aesthetics and visibility they’ve come to enjoy with Bobcat loaders. The new excavator instrumentation technologies can also help owners and fleet managers better understand and evaluate their performance and costs, as well as assist them with identifying opportunities to improve machine and operator efficiencies and protect their investments. Ergonomic improvements The new deluxe instrumentation panel and control switches have been designed to be more ergonomic for the opera-
tor. The previous instrumentation panel required the operator to turn to the side to engage the panel’s input switches; the new panel presents these buttons in front of the operator, where they are easier to identify and reach. From the operator’s viewpoint, the location of the panel also aligns with the existing cab components and work group structures to maintain visibility to the attachment. Other forwardmounted instrumentation features include: • Improved auxiliary logic: The auxiliary hydraulic paddle switch is live when the console is in the lowered position, eliminating the need to activate the auxiliary hydraulic mode switch; • New joystick switches that improve the boom swing and auxiliary controls; • Improved paddle profile makes operation more comfortable over extended time;
• Reduced spring pressure on paddle switches enhances controllability and comfort; • New auxiliary detent switch profile improves functionality; • New cup holder available forward of the operator, as well as a cup holder located to the right of the operator; • Storage cubby located to right of the operator for handy items; • When equipped with the radio, it is installed to the right of the operator as opposed to its previous location on the rear panel. Deluxe instrumentation panel functionality The M-Series excavator’s optional deluxe instrumentation panel features multi-lingual functionality, similar to other Bobcat products. It also offers multiple capabilities from analyzing user statistics, to integrated attachment controls, vitals and diagnostics. Bobcat Company knows customers fre-
quently want to know their annual or hourly fuel consumption. The new instrumentation system includes the functionality to capture individual fuel usage and real-time fuel consumption, as well as idle-time data. The 5-inch, full-color LCD screen enables monitoring and interaction of multiple functions and visibility to several features: • Seven languages, including French; • Eco-mode for up to 8 percent in fuel cost savings; • Ability to customize auto-idle delay to suit oper-
ator preference. Choose from between 4 and 250 seconds;. • Attachment-specific operation tips to optimize productivity and versatility; • Enhanced engine and hydraulic system information to simplify checks of machine status. Three options for machine access Among the many improvements offered with the new instrumentation panel, it provides flexible options for machine access, which can increase security for equipment assets. Owners and operators now
have three choices relative to keying the machine: • Standard panel with key; • Standard panel with keypad for keyless start, which includes provisions for one programmable owner code; • Deluxe instrumentation panel with integrated keyless start, which includes provisions for one owner code and up to eight user codes. With the new system, dealers can also upgrade keyed machines to a keyless start system much more cost-effectively. Continued on page 14

These access options not only provide owners with the ability to tailor their access method to their operation, but it can also help support a company’s goals for theft protection. An excavator for every application These upgraded excavators make up half of Bobcat’s 12-model lineup to help operators match a machine to their application — from the ultra-compact 418 to the 8-metric-ton E85 designed for varying dig depths from 6 to more than 15 feet. Convention-
al, Minimal and Zero Tail Swing configurations are available depending on the operating conditions. Altogether, 10 of the 12 models are part of the newest line of Bobcat excavators — the M-Series — with industryleading cycle times and advanced hydraulic systems. Extendable-arm option, clamp-ready Bobcat is the only excavator manufacturer that offers a clamp-ready extendable-arm option. Five models feature the extendable-arm configuration that can add 30 inches of reach, when fully extended, giv-
ing operators ultimate reach without having to upsize the machine. Expanding capabilities with attachments A total of 13 approved Bobcat attachments can enhance an excavator’s versatility. Attachments include augers, grapples, hydraulic breakers, plate compactors and trenchers among others. Changing attachments is simple with the exclusive X-Change attachment mounting system. Upgrade to the optional Hydraulic X-Change system for even faster attachment changes. b
Associated Equipment Distributors is pleased to announce the appointment of its new President and CEO, Brian P. McGuire. He will assume his duties with AED on Jan. 6, 2014, and will be based at AED’s headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill. He was most recently the president of the Tooling and Manufacturing Association, headquartered in Park Ridge, Ill. McGuire, 43, considered a strong, transformational, visionary leader and builder, has a broad professional background in trade associations with an impressive record in public policy advocacy, membership growth, as well as training and educational services for industry. “We are about to enter a new chapter of AED with renewed energy,” said AED 2013 Chairman Mike Quirk, who is Vice
President of Operations at Wagner Equipment Co., the Caterpillar dealer based in the Denver, Colo., metropolitan area. “Brian is an association professional whose experience and talents are a wonderful match with the member needs of AED – we’re truly excited to welcome him aboard, and we’re looking forward to moving in an innovative, service-oriented direction under his leadership.” An alum of Southern Illinois University, McGuire is the former Senior Regional Manager of Illinois and Wisconsin for the National Association of Manufacturers, which is based in Washington, D.C. He has also worked for a combined eight years for Illinois’ State Senator Steve Rauschenberger, as both a political consultant and Chief of State.
VTT Introduces Deforestation Monitoring For Tropical Regions Halting deforestation in tropical regions requires verification of forest conditions. VTT has developed a new satellite image based method for accurate assessment of tropical forest cover. Part of the EU’s seventh framework programme, the ReCover project has involved using satellite imaging to map forest cover in sites in Mexico, Guyana, Columbia, Congo and the Fiji Islands over a period of up to 20 years. The REDD programme is the United Nations’ collaborative initiative designed to combat deforestation in the tropical region and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The objective is to include REDD in the 2015 international climate agreement. Further concrete steps on REDD were already agreed in the United Nations Climate Change Conference that was held in Warsaw in November. Through the REDD initiative, industrialised countries pay
compensation for the conservation and sustainable management of forests in the tropical region, where deforestation is progressing rapidly. The purpose of this is to increase carbon sequestration in forests. The compensation system requires accurate verification, by satellite, of the condition of forests. In this three-year project, VTT developed a new method of monitoring tropical forest cover using numerical satellite images. The method permits forest mapping using satellite images with a resolution of ten to thirty metres. The accuracy of the maps is assessed by taking a statistical sample from satellite images with a resolution of better than one metre. Sampling is intended to ensure that the mapping method does not over- or underestimate the forested area. In the ReCover project, nine research partners mapped forest cov-
March 2014 Focused on civic duty, McGuire is the top elected officer of his community, serving as Hanover Township Town Supervisor for 99,000 residents and responsible for a treasury of $12 million. He’s also a 20-year veteran volunteer firefighter who retired as captain in 2008. “I’m looking forward to getting acquainted with all of AED’s constituencies – dealer members, manufacturers and industry service suppliers, as well as the professionals who comprise the AED staff in Oak Brook,” said McGuire. “Together, we’re going to continue the mission of providing outstanding resources to support distributor profitability, and we’ll identify new approaches for ensuring the future strength of the dealer model in the construction equipment industry.” McGuire is only the third AED President/CEO in the last six decades. He will be introduced to the entire AED membership at the 2014 Summit & CONDEX Jan. 15-17 in Houston. b er in Mexico, Guyana, Columbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Fiji Islands. This was accomplished in cooperation with local authorities and other local players in each country during a period lasting from the early 1990s to present day. “In late 2014, the Sentinel satellites launched as part of the European Copernicus programme will begin to deliver satellite image data that is highly suitable for forest monitoring,” says Tuomas Häme, Research Professor at VTT. On the other hand, a fee will be charged for ultra-high resolution satellite images. The total cost of the EU ReCover project coordinated by VTT was approximately EUR 3.3 million. Negotiations on further projects are currently under way with representatives of the target countries. Besides VTT, Arbonaut Oy represented Finland in the project. The final meeting of the project was held during the UN Climate Change Conference in Warsaw in November. b

CSA Group Offers Urban Cold Weather Survival Tips For A Safer Winter Temperatures are frigid, snow is blowing and ice is abundant across much of the continent as we face one of the coldest winters on record. With more winter storms and cold temperatures on the way, it’s essential to remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with potential power outages, loss of heat and severe weatherrelated conditions. CSA Group, a leader in public safety, testing and certification, offers the following five urban winter survival tips to help reduce hazards in your home and be ready for almost anything else the cold weather throws your way. 1. A working carbon monoxide alarm can save your life: Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, lethal gas, and if your home uses fuel-burning appliances, such as a gas fireplace or furnace, you could be at risk of carbon monoxide exposure. Make sure all fuel-burning appliances are properly ventilated when in use, and ensure you have a working
carbon monoxide alarm with a battery backup and a certification mark, such as CSA Group, to ensure it’s been tested to the applicable standards for safety and performance. 2. Ensure your gas fireplace is safe: Besides their decorative qualities, gas fireplaces can provide comfortable, economical and supplemental heating for your living space. However, before using gas fireplaces, it is important to conduct routine inspections and maintenance. The appliance’s control compartments, burners, vents and circulating air passageways must be kept clean and clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the fireplace. A fireplace should be inspected before each use and checked annually by a qualified professional serviceperson. 3. Use space heaters with care: Space heaters are designed to heat a chilly room, not to dry clothes, heat food, warm your bed, or thaw frozen
be sure to check it’s rated for the amount of electricity required. To prevent shock, it should be properly grounded and never connected to a home’s wiring, which could send high-voltage currents or “backfeed” to outside power lines. Backfeed could be fatal to anyone who touches the power line and may cause additional damage to a home. Most importantly, use
all your devices according to the manufacturer’s instructions and keep a copy of the warnings and instructions on-hand.

Owners and operators should: • Ensure proper track tension: Monitor track tension when the machine is in actual working conditions and adjust it accordingly. When steel tracks are too tight, it accelerates bushing wear. When they’re too loose it can create instability, and in the worst case scenario, it can cause the tracks to derail. When rubber tracks are too tight, it can cause the tracks to stretch or break in addition to excessive roller and idler wear. A rubber track that is too loose can de-track, leading to a damaged track and significant downtime. Proper tension of

The CSA mark appears on billions of products around the world. b steel or rubber tracks also ensures the machine puts available power to best use. Check the operator’s manual for specific track inspection and tensioning procedures. • Keep the undercarriage clean: At the end of the day, clean out mud and debris from the undercarriage since it can build up and accelerate component wear. Doing so at the end of the day ensures that material that might freeze or dry up and harden overnight is removed. Pay special attention to clean-up when rubber tracks are used given that buildup can cause the tracks to “stretch,” or result in harmful track tension. • Conduct daily inspections: Operators should inspect the undercarriage for excessive or uneven wear, as well as damaged or missing components. Any issues should be immediately addressed to minimize further wear or damage. • Follow the schedule: Conduct a complete undercarriage inspection in keeping with the manufacturer’s recommendations. More frequent inspections should be performed if the machine is used in conditions that are more demanding than normal. Adhere to routine maintenance guidelines, including oil changes for final drives and checks on undercarriage bolt torques. Give the undercarriage its due Proper operation of crawler machines – along with proper undercarriage care and maintenance – is an essential part of fleet management. Contractors who give it the attention it deserves will come out ahead with machines that deliver optimal performance with lower overall owning and operating cost. b

ally over the next three years. In North America, the shale energy boom has greatly expanded the use of plastic piping in the energy sector, and replacement of antiquated pipe networks by more durable and efficient plastic pipe materials using trenchless technology has become a major trend in all regions.” “Our conference will clearly reflect an increasing level of sophistication in the design, manufacture and use of plastic pipe systems in these markets. A total of 130 papers for presentation have been accepted by the conference review panel. All parts of the world will be represented showing what they are doing with plastic piping systems. And, as a measure of its interest, China will deliver as many as 20 of these presentations.” The main program will embrace technical and marketing issues relating to the design and development, testing, installation and operation of plastic pipe systems. Papers will offer new solutions to technical and engineering issues using plastic pipe systems and identify market and business opportunities for further growth in the use of plastic pipes worldwide.” Elastics of plastics Following on from the recent earthquake in China, conference participants will be interested to review the excellent seismic resistance

displayed by plastic pipes during the Great East Japan Earthquake. Further evidence of the ability to absorb such shocks will be presented in the light of 25 years of seismic experience in New Zealand. Plastic pipe systems are noted for their exceptional sustainability. This year, one paper will explain how their environmental footprint within the building sector has been mapped out concisely by an independent European technical institute. Such impacts can only be measured through performance and the passage of time. A second paper will therefore explain in realistic terms how a lifetime expectancy of 150 years can be achieved for PE water pipe systems. Further lifetime considerations will be explained by the technical director of the Spanish Association of Plastic Pipes and fittings (AseTUB). Monica de la Cruz will quantify and qualify the cost savings that can be achieved by quality pipeline installation methods. The association will report on ten years of experience with their national training scheme to qualify installers of plastic pipes for water supply, sewer and irrigation systems. Eastern promise On the topic of irrigation, ‘Greening the dessert’ is how one paper describes the planting of 12 million trees in Abu Dhabi. These forests are now irrigated by a network of 55,000 kilometers of pipes to provide an effective screen against sandstorms and shelter for a large number of animal species. The Middle East is not the only region making ever more sophisticated plastic pipe systems. Roger Jepson from Union Pipes Industry will explain the ‘Rapid Spread of Large Diameter PO Pipes’ in the Middle and Far East. PE pressure pipes up to 2,500 mm and PP non-pressure pipes up to 4,000 in diameter are made locally and have won the trust of design consultants throughout both regions. By illustration, one particular presentation from China will focus on the renovation of an old cast iron water main that was corroded and leaking heavily in the congested city of Shanghai. This large diameter conduit has now been ingeniously relined with
March 2014 PE100 pipe. No-dig technology below ground thus avoided any disturbance to city life above ground. Down under for good In Australia - with its expansive tracts of land with harsh ground and weather conditions - other innovative solutions are to be found. Dr. Alan Whittle has over 30 years of experience in the world of plastic pipes. In Chicago, he will report on plowing techniques that have installed over 50,000 km of PE pipe (up to 610 mm diameters) to deliver coal seam gas in South East Queensland. These new methods are safe, rapid and require minimum open trenches. Their application could be advantageous elsewhere in the world. Meanwhile in Europe, new ways have been developed to secure lasting joints for larger diameters. James Johnston from McElroy Manufacturing will share his company’s experience in Norway where new equipment and techniques are proving successful for butt-fusing HDPE pipes of diameters up to 2 meters. Record attendance Hosting a record 550 participants from over 40 countries, Plastic Pipes XVII is the largest conference and exhibition of its kind. “Our industry is an innovative and exciting partnership of technology and business,” explains Boros. “Delegates are drawn from an international community of plastic pipe and fittings producers, users and installers. Representatives from major energy, water, telecom and sewer utility companies will attend alongside those from the building sector. Also present will be industry consultants, leading technicians and engineers, suppliers of raw materials and additives as well as extrusion equipment manufacturers.” Plastics Pipes XVII is organized in collaboration with The Plastics Pipe Institute, TEPPFA, PE 100 Association and PVC4Pipes. Sponsors for Plastic Pipes VXII in Chicago include Rollepaal and BattenfeldCincinnati as the main corporate diamond level sponsors as well as Dow Chemical and Baerlocher Group at gold level, Chevron Phillips, Lyondell/Basell, MOL, Gas Technology Institute and KraussMaffei Corporation at the silver level, as well as Floridienne Chimie and others. b

More Canadians Employed In Mining Than Previously Reported New data shows a dramatic increase in the number of Canadians employed in the mining industry with more than 418,000 people in full-time-equivalent jobs working in various facets of the sector, according to the Mining Association of Canada’s latest Facts & Figures 2013 report. Drawing from a new data source, Natural Resources Canada released a more comprehensive estimate of mining sector employment. The source includes data for support activities of the mining sector that was not previously captured, including drilling and exploration. This grew the number of mining employees in Canada from 330,000 people in 2011 to 418,000 people in 2012, accounting for one in every 41 Canadian jobs. Year-overyear employment growth shows an increase of more than 11,000 jobs, or 2.8%, from 2011 to 2012. “This remarkable em-
ployment figure is a much more accurate view of the Canadian mining industry’s role as both a major employer and economic driver in Canada,” said MAC’s President and CEO, Pierre Gratton. “It also adds to our already impressive employment figures. Not only is the mining industry the top paying industrial sector in the country, but it is also the largest private sector employer of Aboriginal people on a proportional basis and supports thousands of indirect jobs.” Those who work in the industry enjoy the highest wages and salaries of all industrial sectors in Canada with an average weekly pay of $1,559, surpassing the earnings of workers in finance, manufacturing, construction and forestry. Additionally, with more than 3,200 companies supplying goods and services to mining operations, Canada has one of the largest mining supply sectors in the world,
extending the industry’s economic and employment reach even further. The report, which draws on the most recent data available from the federal government (mostly 2012), reveals the mining industry contributes greatly to the Canadian economy in a number of important ways. Canada’s mining sector contributed $52.6 billion to the national GDP in 2012 and mining industry exports accounted for $92.5 billion, or 20.4%, of the Canadian total. The value of Canadian mineral production remained elevated in 2012 at $46.9 billion and mineral exploration and deposit appraisal expenditures maintained the $3.9 billion record set in 2011. Globally, Canada is one of the top mining countries. Canada (Toronto) is the leading global mining finance centre in the world. In 2012, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange ac-
counted for 70% of the world’s mining equity financings. Together, these financings comprised 70% of the equity raised globally for the year. Canada ranks in the top five countries in the global production of potash, uranium, aluminum, cobalt, titanium, tungsten, cadmium, diamonds, platinum, sulphur and nickel. “Canada’s ability to attract highly-mobile global mining investment is contingent on several factors aside from commodity prices set by the global market, many of which reside within our own borders,” said Gratton. “It is imperative that industry and Canadian governments work together to address key domestic challenges in order to support new mining growth and ensure the country remains an attractive place to mine or list.” Top needs of the Canadian mining industry in 2014 • An effective regulatory process: In the face of recent and significant changes to the Canadian mining regulatory regime, every effort must be made to ensure a smooth transition to the new regulatory model, and avoid unnecessary and costly regulatory delays. • Sufficient human resources: The Canadian mining sector forecasts the need to hire more than 145,000 people over the next decade to replace retirees and fill new positions. Ensuring the industry has the skilled workers it needs to operate is crucial for industry growth. • Improved infrastructure: Operating mines are often in remote areas and they require roads, marine access and power grids. A long-term strategic approach to infrastructure investment will be required to fully capitalize on Canada’s mining opportunity, particularly in Canada’s North. • Competitive trade and investment environment: Canadian mining companies are facing increasing competition from other mining jurisdictions, such as Australia and China. The federal government needs to continue its robust trade agenda by establishing trade, investment and double taxation agreements, and by providing programmatic support to help companies compete. b

Supply Post Central/Eastern Canada Edition · www.supplypost.com Hydro-fracturing in the oil and gas industry involves the pumping, at very high pressure, of thousands of gallons of a liquid, usually water along with a mix of silica sand and/or resincoated sand, and/or man-made ceramics and a cocktail mix of other chemicals down an oil or gas wellbore.

Front Page Story
Fracking? The Debate Rages On Across North America the debate over gas and oil well fracking is becoming louder by Ronald Mullins
S
tate by state, and province by province, the voices of both those in favour of fracking, predominately oil and gas industry professionals as well as certain government agencies, and those opposed are increasing in both frequency and volume. This latter group, those opposed, is made up primarily of well meaning and concerned individuals, environmental protection groups and a smattering of government departments and lobby groups. In this article we will take a look at what fracking is. How it is done and why. What is fracking? Fracking is a slang term
for hydraulic fracturing or hydro-fracturing. It is described as the fracturing or breaking up of rock and more specifically, shale rock formations through the use of a pressurized liquid. Although sometimes used to increase the flow of water in water wells, hydraulic fracturing as it is referenced in this article refers to the fracturing of sedimentary shale rock formations to release the shale gas, tight gas, tight oil and coal seam oil deposits within. Hydro-fracturing in the oil and gas industry involves the pumping, at very high pressure, of thousands of gallons of a liquid,
usually water along with a mix of silica sand and/ or resin-coated sand, and/ or man-made ceramics and a cocktail mix of other chemicals down an oil or gas wellbore. This pressurized mixture breaks up or fractures the surrounding rock formations creating fissures or cracks which enables the release of the trapped gas and oil. Once the initial fracturing of the rock is completed, the water is pumped out leaving the sand and chemicals, called proppant, trapped in these new rock fissures holding them open. This allows the flow of the oil or gas into the wellbore facilitating capture in a more
effective and controlled manner.1 Usually shale oil formations only need to be hydraulically fractured once, while natural gas formations usually need to be fracked multiple times. Is hydro-fracking new? Hydraulic fracturing is not a new process. Natural hydraulic fractures are a common part of nature and include volcanic dikes, sills and fracturing by ice and frost weathering. Manmade hydraulic fracturing was first used in the United States in the late 1940’s. In Canada, the process has been in common use since at least the early 1950’s. It is also in widespread use in other oil and gas producing countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Poland, to list a few and more recently China. Its use was banned in France in mid 2011.2 For the past number of years, hydro-fracturing has made large reservoirs of shale natural gas, trapped in deeply buried rock, more readily accessible. There are hydro-fracturing oil and gas wells in both western and eastern Canada. Alberta and northeastern British Columbia
account for the bulk of the country’s natural gas production thanks to the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. More recently, amid very vocal protests, the government of New Brunswick announced that it will go ahead with shale gas exploration. In the U.S., the EPA estimates that shale gas production will account for 20 percent of the country’s total gas supply by 2020 and will amount to nearly half of all natural gas produced in the country by 2035.3, 4 What is shale natural gas? Millions of years ago, during the Devonian period of the earth’s history, the shale rock formations from which we are now harvesting natural gas were being deposited as fine silt and clay particles at the bottom of relatively enclosed bodies of water. At roughly the same time, primitive plants were forming forests on land and the first amphibians were making an appearance. Some of the methane that formed from the organic matter buried with the sediments escaped into sandy rock layers adjacent to the shales, forming conventional accumulations of natural gas which were relatively easy to extract. But some of it remained locked in the tight, impermeable shale layers. Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world.5 Natural gas found in these rock layers is a mixture of light-end, flammable hydrocarbons primarily composed of methane but also containing lesser percentages of butane, ethane, propane, and other gases. It is odourless, colourless, and, when ignited, releases a significant amount of energy. Natural gas burns cleanly and emits smaller quantities of potentially harmful emissions than either coal or oil. It is the cleanest of all fossil fuels making it a very popular energy choice and an important part of the world’s energy strategy.6 Shale formations normally have limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through and normally require stimulation techniques to economically produce shale gas. Enter hydro-fracturing into the equation.7 How is shale gas collected? Giant oil and gas drill
March 2014 rigs have dotted the North American landscape for decades. Their purpose, to drill down vertically, often to depths of between 6,000 (1828 m) to more than 14,000 feet (4267 m) to intersect the shale rock formations. It is at these depths that the wellbore is bent or deviated and drilling now proceeds in a horizontal fashion within the shale layer. These horizontal wellbores can go in multiple directions and may be up to a mile or more in length (1.6 km). Each wellbore is lined with a metal casing. Once all drilling has been completed, the well is prepared for hydraulic fracturing. Beginning at the outward end of these long horizontal sections, segments of the wellbore are isolated, the casing perforated, and the thousands of gallons of a water/sand/chemical mix is pumped under extremely high pressure through the perforations. These pressures often reach upwards to thousands of pounds per square inch. The result, the shale cracks creating one or more fissures or fractures that extend hundreds of feet into the surrounding rock. These fractures, usually only a fraction of an inch wide are held open by the residual sand once the pumping pressure is relieved allowing the trapped natural gas to be captured and pumped to the surface.5 It is estimated that as of 2013 at least two million oil and gas wells in the U.S. have been hydraulically fractured. Hydraulically fractured wells make up 43% of the oil and 67% of the current natural gas production in the United States.8 More than 175,000 oil and gas wells have been hydraulically fractured in Alberta and BC since the 1950s.9 b This is part one of our two part series exploring the pros and cons of hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas industry.

ProCare allows fleets to grow with confidence as operating and repair costs are completely predictable for the first three years of ownership. SiteWatch further provides actionable data that allows fleet managers and owners to make better business decisions related to equipment utilization, maintenance activities and overall management.

motely located control is perfect for listening to music. A hands-free cell phone function is also available for safe and convenient phone use. Ergonomically designed joysticks are provided to reduce operator fatigue during the work day and multiple storage compartments are available for additional convenience. An advanced LCD display allows the operator to select personal machine preferences and monitor crucial machine date including engine rpm, engine oil temperature, water temperature and information for all electronic devices. Button selections are provided for auto idle mode, max power mode and travel speed. A security feature is also provided to prevent the machine from starting without a proper password. Structure strength has been improved on the
R55/55W-9A excavators. The cabin structure has been fitted with stronger but slimmer tubing for more safety and improved visibility. Low-stress, high strength steel is integrally welded to form a stronger, more durable upper and lower frame. Structural integrity was tested using the Finite Elements Method (FEM) analysis and longterm durability tests. Hyundai’s R55/55W9A excavators were built for added durability. Both models are equipped with counterweight rear guards to protect the engine hood. A boom cylinder cover provides added protection from the toughest of working conditions. Additionally, long life hydraulic filters, hydraulic oil, shims and bushings are provided, which help to extend service intervals, minimize downtime and reduce operating costs over time. b
