Mini Is ‘Mighty’

WBM breathes new life into a previously ‘small-scale’ product line.

Forestry crews need equipment that can deliver exceptional performance in difficult environments. Komatsu’s robust, dependable and fuel-efficient PC230F-11 processor can help control downtime and drive productivity and was featured in the company’s booth at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG.

Purpose-built for processing applications, the 197-HP PC230F-11 has a rugged design, high and wide undercarriage, a pow- erful swing motor and is designed to withstand highdebris conditions. The robust wide-fin radiator is covered by heavy-duty forestry screens, and a variable pitch reversing fan helps improve airflow.

With a powerful swing system and a large swing circle, large trees can be moved easily with the PC230F-11. Its reach of up to 29.3 feet (8,951 mm), and excellent maneuverability help drive productivity.

The Komatsu SAA-

Operators can adjust quickly to a sudden change in load weight without compromising productivity with the Auto Power Max feature. It automatically senses the difference and reacts with an 8.5-second burst of additional horsepower to help pull the trees through during the delimbing process.

The PC230F-11 is backed by excellent service, easy access to parts and a robust warranty.

With the right products, latest technologies, actionable data and dealer support, Komatsu and its customers can create value together. SP

While WBM is widely known for their ability to produce and customize attachments for some of the largest machines we see out in the field today, the recent demand for mini excavator attachments has encouraged Weldco to get back to the drawing boards and open a door that had been closed for some time.

A New Niche

Servicing the growing mini‐market demand of lower mainland BC, most WBM mini attachments are produced in their manufacturing facility located in Langley, BC.

Using previous designs from both mini excavator and loader backhoe attachments, WBM’s in‐house engineering team got to work, redesigning a product line that could be streamlined and scalable for the growing need.

Work smarter – and harder!

Much time and effort were taken to not only simplify the designs, but to utilize common components and materials, effectively creating a product line that could be easily reproduced, without sacrificing strength or quality.

The WBM facility currently produces a range of dig buckets, clean‐up buckets, bucket thumbs and manual couplers for CEX 15, 25, 35,

50, 80, and 120 series. While the mini attachment program is limited to one facility at this time, WBM’s dedication to continuous improvement is a vision shared among all the branches, and they consistently pull together their expertise and resources, providing the best possible custom solutions for all their customers.

We are excited to take over stewardship of these lands as we look to enhance and protect the important ecological attributes of this property for generations by developing it as a carbon credit project.”

Mr. Abrams continued, “Boreal is well-positioned to build a true ‘Canadian champion’ in the field of forest carbon credits with our extensive in-house expertise and experience. We are actively pursuing other timberland acquisition and management opportunities as we look to take a leading role in this growing field.”

Rick Doman, Boreal Chairman, said “Boreal has embarked on an ambitious journey to change the way forests in Canada are managed. Having spent my entire career in the forestry sector, I have seen first-hand the benefits and positive impact that implementing science-based sustainable forest management practices can have on forests. By adopting global best-practices, we believe Canada has an opportunity to have healthier and more productive forests which, in turn, mitigate the potential for disease and wildfires, improve habitat for wildlife, all while also supporting a vibrant sustainable forest products sector so that remote communities can continue to thrive.” SP
