This issue of Construction Worx is the biggest on record. The editorial team have crammed in over 40 pages on Plantworx 2017 plus some interesting features on telematics. Without sounding like an industry greybeard, neither of those subjects existed 10 years ago. The first Plantworx was not until 2013; and modern telematics systems had barely seen their prototype stage in 2007. I have been privileged to witness first-hand the hard work that has gone into putting together Plantworx. There will be an organising team of nearly 100

people on site during the show to see that things run as smoothly as possible. Their mission has been to build on the success of 2015 by listening to what exhibitors and visitors want. It is still all about the CEA delivering a show "for the industry, by the industry"; and with the inclusion of a young students' day we are looking to encourage future generations into our high-tech Industry. The first week of June is not only a big week for our industry with Plantworx, but there is also a small matter of a General Election taking place – which will be a big day for our country. The CEA stays out of the party political scene, but if there is one message we want to give to any incoming government, it is please invest in our country’s infrastructure. It will pay dividends for voters and businesses. That’s not just our digital infrastructure but the roads, rail, energy and public utility projects that are long overdue. Most political parties claim they want to improve things in these policy areas, but there always seem to be more pressing claims on the public purse when it comes to

delivering. Delivering Brexit is, of course, still high on the political agenda and it was good to see so many CEA members attend our recent “Beyond Brexit Briefing”. Whilst some of the issues around Brexit are getting a little clearer, it is still a case that there are more questions than answers at this stage. Nevertheless it was great to have an opportunity to exchange views and start to focus on how Brexit may impact on the “nuts and bolts” of our businesses. Of course 2007 was way back when smoking was first banned in all enclosed public places in England - and we were wondering when the boom in equipment sales would end. We got our answer when the financial crisis of 2008 bit hard, when many needed to take up smoking again! It was when it became sink or swim for many companies. Thankfully most learned to swim and as we cope with a new set of market and political uncertainties in our world then I guess the message is "jump right in, the water's not as cold as you think". See you at Plantworx! ■

Hyundai Announces Division Spin-off Hyundai Heavy Industries has announced the spinoff of the Construction Equipment division from the mother company Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. This new company was officially established with the name Hyundai Construction Equipment Co. Ltd on the 1st of April 2017. All activities of HHI’s Construction Equipment division moved to this new company at the same time. The spinoff is based on a restructuring plan that began last year. For the Construction Equipment division this ‘spinoff’ offers great possibilities and an improved agility. The newly established mother company will be able to make independent decisions in the interest of the industries and markets worldwide. Despite the fact, the new company is named Hyundai Construction Equipment –
6 SPRING 2017
Hyundai has emphasised that both Forklift and Construction Equipment are equally managed with the same goal to grow the market share. For Europe, this decision indicates that there is a new shareholder – Hyundai Construction Equipment Co. It has been decided that the name of the company will change during the course of this year to Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe. The company has a strong commitment to growth. This year, the European HQ will move to Tessenderlo, Belgium. This € 30 million investment project will enable Hyundai Construction Equipment to increase its success in Europe. On 81,000 square meters of land, a new headquarters, a new warehouse, a training facility, an event hall and a showroom are now under
construction. This new facility is an excellent step forward for the European division. For 2017, the European strategy is to focus on the mini excavator market and wheel loaders active in the recycling and closely related industries. In the forklift business division, priority will be given to the heavy diesel forklift market and the warehousing range. Both divisions will focus more on parts sales. To gain success in these areas, Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe will further expand the dealer network, widen the product range and focus on key customers. Hyundai has proven that success is a choice. Hyundai’s loyalty and support for its European dealers, customers and business Partners has paid off in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

Member News Plantworx Adopts CanTrack People CanTrack’s Peter Thompson has announced that CanTrack People - a loneworker safety device - will be used by the CEA’s Plantworx team for four weeks in May and June including for the duration of the event. Held at the 300-hectare Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire, Plantworx, the UK’s biggest live working construction event, will cover over 140,000 square metres. CanTrack People addresses the need to manage lone-worker safety responsibly. It’s a cost-effective solution which delivers accurate real-time location reporting, an SOS alert with automated calling, intelligent fall detection and more. The self-contained device, the size of a car key-fob, is convenient to use. During Plantworx over 20 CanTrack People devices will be used by site managers, maintenance teams, site contractors and site security personnel many of whom will be working alone, with staff on-site 24/7. “Plantworx is a large and complex undertaking involving dozens of contractors and over 300 exhibitors. Safety, for all concerned, is of paramount importance to us and therefore using CanTrack People to keep in contact with our team, many of whom will be working on their own or remotely, around the clock is a responsible and sensible step to take. Our operations room will be using the CanTrack web enabled user interface to keep tabs on the team throughout the event,” comments Simon FrereCook MBE, Plantworx’s Event Director. “Whilst we hope it’s never needed the SOS function could be crucial in minimising the impact of an incident.” CanTrack People is fitted with a SIM card which allows SMS and voice communication in emergencies with any one of three pre-set phone numbers. Weighing in at just 40 grams the People device is convenient to carry in a pocket or wear on a lanyard. The battery life is exceptional with a seven-day life in standby mode’ with GPS in sleep mode.

CanTrack’s product range allows the continuous monitoring of equipment fitted with Asset, vehicles fitted with GPS and workers carrying People all on one easy to use interface. The recent upgrade to version 4.0.3 gives CanTrack’s customers added convenience and functionality for all 3 products. A new alerts panel gives users a convenient and instant update on their fleet and people so that important actions take priority. The panel shows accident detection from GPS, motion sensing or overturn alerts from Asset and SOS and fall down alerts from People.

Member News Clancy Plant Adopts MicroCESAR
Clancy Plant first to adopt MicroCESAR. Datatag managing director Kevin Howells with Bernie Stack, director at Clancy Plant.
Clancy Plant has become the first major plant hire company to adopt the latest in the fight against criminals targeting small handheld power tools – MicroCESAR. MicroCESAR uses Datatag security marking technologies to give each piece of equipment a unique and permanent ‘fingerprint’ that thieves cannot remove. Using a combination of a unique Datatag RFID transponder and a tamper proof warning/registration label with an integrated QR code MicroCESAR provides the Police with quick and easy verification of ownership without the need for special equipment or lengthy laboratory testing. As an added bonus the Datatag technology used in the MicroCESAR system can also be used to assist in stock management helping companies track tools in and out of jobs and allowing users to easily access on-line health and safety advice and user manuals through
the unique QR code and mobile enabled MicroCESAR website. Bernie Stack, director at Clancy Plant said, “With our business focused on customer service we recognise the impact theft of tools can have,” explains Clancy Plant director Bernie Stack. “By adopting MicroCESAR we are confident that we are putting in place a serious, and proven theft deterrent which can only help our customers and our business too.” “We’re very pleased to welcome on board Clancy Plant. MicroCESAR, I’m confident, will echo the success we have seen with the main CESAR Scheme and we’ve already received overwhelming industry support,” concludes Datatag managing director Kevin Howells. “We hope Clancy’s decision to protect their equipment in this way will cause others will follow their lead in the fight against plant crime.”
Successful Sting Operation When a contractor was having major problems with small items of plant machinery being stolen, it approached plant tracking specialist AMI Group for help. AMI Group fitted several of the contractor’s machines and generators with covertly installed tracking devices and within just a few weeks, a small petrol generator was stolen but quickly recovered thanks to the AMI tracking device. The generator was hidden in a sub-contractor’s van and was successfully recovered by the Police on the individual’s driveway in Walsall, West Midlands. The machine recovered is the smallest item of tracked plant that AMI Group has ever recovered in the company’s history. The recovery started when AMI Group received a call from the contractor advising that the generator was not located where it should be on a site in Wednesbury. Using the AMI Nexis web-based software platform, AMI Group were quickly able to locate the machine in the Walsall area some four miles away, as the generator was fitted with the AT5, a self-contained, wireless, battery operated tracking device which is just 54 x 65 x 37 mm
10 SPRING 2017
in size. The AT5 has a battery life of up to 20 years and it utilises highly sensitive assisted GPS positioning accurate to within one metre with pinpoint street level mapping. The AT5 was placed into an alert state with the position transmitted every 20 minutes. AMI’s customer reported the theft to West Midlands Police and a finder was dispatched to the area by AMI Group to try and locate the stolen generator. Upon arrival at the given location, RF (Radio Frequency) technology was activated to help pinpoint the unit and it became apparent that the generator was stored in the back of the van parked on a residential driveway. The Police arrived on the scene and tried to make contact with the van owner but there was no response at the door. After positively identifying the stolen generator in the back of the van, the Police seized the vehicle. Due to the small size and portability of the generator, it was hidden behind the driver’s seat and covered with high visibility clothing. The generator was successfully returned to AMI’s customer and the matter is now being investigated by the Police.
“The customer originally contacted us for help, as plant theft was proving to be a major problem and very costly to the business, as the stolen items were never recovered. We fitted a number of machines with our AT5 tracking device and its worth was proven within just a few weeks, as we were able to recover the stolen generator very quickly and help reveal the source of the theft which was actually a sub-contractor,” says Peter Stockton, Operations Director of AMI Group. “Traditionally, tracking devices are perceived as only being suitable for large machines, but with a trend emerging of plant thieves targeting smaller items of machinery, more customers are opting to track their smaller fleeted items. This is actually the smallest piece of kit we have ever recovered with one of our tracking devices and it really does illustrate the small size and covert nature of our systems as plant thieves don’t realise the equipment is tracked. With no hard wires to trace, the AT5 is very difficult to locate in the event of a theft. It provides a ‘fit and forget’ solution and can be transferred from machine to machine with ease within minutes.”

Loadall Milestone Year Starts on High JCB has kicked off the year it celebrates 40 years of telescopic handler production with a massive order from one of the industry’s most prominent users of the machines. Nixon Hire is buying more than 160 market-leading Loadall telescopic handlers worth almost £9 million – in the year the company also celebrates its 50th birthday. The machines have been bought through JCB dealer Scot JCB. “Nixon Hire is delighted to further cement its solid partnership with JCB with this large telehandler order. We pride ourselves in offering modern, technologically advanced products from market leading brands and JCB certainly meets this criteria,” says Nixon Hire MD Graham Nixon. “Having worked together successfully for many years, we know it’s a name we can trust to deliver a quality and reliable product to our customers.” Nixon Hire has also confirmed its acquisition of the Nottingham site previously owned by Hewden. The multi-million pound deal sees the company take ownership of the plant equipment and premises. “Many of the machines as part of this order will stock the recently acquired site in Nottingham. This new depot is in a prime location for Nixon Hire and falls in line with our plans for expanding our depot network further south,” Nixon continues. “I can confirm that we will offer our customers products from each of our divisions to include plant, accommodation, toilet and welfare facilities.” The massive order has been greeted with equal enthusiasm by JCB. “2017 is a momentous year for JCB Loadall telescopic handlers as we mark 40 years of production of a machine which quite literally changed
the materials handling market beyond recognition,” concludes UK and Ireland Sales Director Dan Thompstone. “We are delighted to start what is a milestone year with a fantastic order from one of our biggest UK customers.”

JCB’s Holly Broadhurst on a High JCB Design Engineer Holly Broadhurst is celebrating after being crowned the UK’s top Higher and Degree Apprentice. The 22-year-old from Leek, Staffordshire, beat off competition from hundreds of other contenders to land the accolade at the National Apprenticeships Awards in London. Broadhurst joined JCB as a Higher Apprentice aged 16 after studying at the JCB Academy in Rocester, Staffordshire. She went on to take a two-year foundation degree before studying for
two more years for a BEng degree in Mechanical Engineering. She graduated last year and now works at JCB Compact Products in Cheadle, Staffs, where she is part of the team designing JCB’s award winning mini excavator range. She was among the first intake at the JCB Academy in September 2010 – a £22 million state school for 14-18 year old students aspiring to become the engineers of the future. The project was spearheaded by JCB Chairman Lord Bamford and since it opened almost 1,500
JCB’s Holly Broadhurst crowned UK’s Top Higher Apprentice. Pictured left to right are JCB young apprentices Sam Taylor, Callum Lowes, Daisy Coombes, Holly Broadhurst, Greg Lawson, Harry Tomlinson and Amy Harris at JCB Compact Products, Cheadle Brief
students have been educated there. “I’ve learnt and gained so much more than I ever thought possible through my apprenticeship at JCB. I look at my friends who went to university and they are only just getting the workplace experience now,” Broadhurst says. “I would advise anyone considering an apprenticeship to go for it 110% – it may seem nerve wracking to go straight into a job but it is so worth it in the long run.” Lord Bamford has been the driving force behind JCB’s investment in apprentices at JCB and over the past five years around 250 have joined the company under its ‘Young Talent’ programme – with more than 100 set to be recruited in 2017. JCB Chairman Lord Bamford – who started his career as an engineering apprentice in 1962 – today congratulated Holly on her Award. “I’m delighted that Holly has been recognised at a national level” he concludes. “Engineering was in my blood from a very early age and nothing pleases me more than seeing other engineers being rewarded at a very young age for their passion and hard work.”

Headquartered in Mumbai, India, BKT is a leading manufacturer in the off-highway tyre market. Since its founding in 1987, BKT has successfully focused on specialist segments such as agricultural, construction and industrial vehicles as well as earthmoving, port and mining, ATV, Go Kart and gardening applications. As a result, BKT has developed into a global player in the offhighway tyre industry with a six percent market share and a sales volume of $850 million corresponding to a 30 percent increase over the last five years. The BKT product catalogue includes more than 2,400 products sold in 130 countries worldwide through a network of national distributors. The company’s five ‘state-of-the-art’ production sites in Aurangabad, Bhiwadi, Chopanki, Dombivali and Bhuj employ more than 7,000 people. BKT has offices in USA and Canada as well and is represented in Europe by its subsidiary BKT Europe, located in Northern Italy. “We are very glad about joining the Construction Equipment Association which is an important point of reference for the whole industry. To BKT this means we can meet and get to know the members, cooperate with them. CEA is the right place where we can face topics concerning the construction world, share information and updates and to identify the trends of the industry,” says Lucia Salmaso, managing director BKT EUROPE. “Furthermore, the UK is a very important market for us, a

key one and we are focused on improving the presence of our specialised tires in the UK and at the same time on increasing our brand awareness. These are the reasons why BKT decided that it was fundamental to join CEA.” British Steel is one of the leading steel manufacturers in Europe with facilities supplying premium products across the world. British Steel Special Profiles is based at Skinningrove in the North East of England. There has been an iron works at Skinningrove since 1874 with an integrated steel works subsequently built in 1907. These works included the very first electrically-driven rolling mills in the UK and just a few years later in 1965 the inaugural special profile was rolled. With this well-established and proud history, the fresh British Steel brand continues to be synonymous with quality, sustainability and innovation, and is built upon three core values of pride, passion and performance. The company operates an international network of regional sales teams, providing customers with a local service wherever they are. “We’ve been providing high-performance special profiles worldwide for 50 years, helping build stronger futures for the earthmoving, construction, forklift, shipbuilding and mining markets.

CLM Construction Supplies specialise in Cutting, Lifting and Mixing equipment
CLM Construction Supplies specialises in cutting, lifting and mixing equipment for the hire market as well as end users. The company was formed in 2010, taking on the distribution of Imer, Maber, Vlutters and Tornomeccanica Construction equipment in the UK. In 2014 CLM invested in the future of the business with a move to larger premises in Bilston in 2014, giving the company more room to expand its warehouse capacity. The company was originally started by Bob Hughes, Chris Hughes and Greg Dent, who together have over 50 years’ experience of supplying the construction industry with plant and equipment. As well as recently joining the CEA, the company is a member of trade associations including CPA (Construction Plant-hire Association) and HAE (Hire Association Europe). “Being members of these trade bodies ensures us that we are up-to-date on current regulations and legislations along with any potential future changes within the industry", Chris Hughes says. CLM say it’s a business that always aims to satisfy current customers and provide great services for new potential customers. “The CEA host trade exhibitions, such as Plantworx, which allow traders to expand their networks and showcase their latest products. This allows us to reach more customers and gain new business. In addition to networking, the CEA has helped us promote our business on a wider scale via their quarterly magazine, regular networking events and the trade media,” Hughes continues. “This has enabled us to gain a wider media presence and get the CLM name out there.” Founded in 1954 Feather Diesel Services (FDS) offer diesel pump and injector services to the UK aftermarket. Based in West Yorkshire, the company covers all sectors of the market from car, van, truck, bus and off-highway.
Feather Diesel Services (FDS) offer Diesel pump and injector services to the UK aftermarket. “Quality for FDS is repeatability, as demonstrated by BS EN ISO systems 9001, 14001 Environment and 18001 Health and Safety, all managed from within the business. This is what our customers demand. Quality is also the high-level build specification we work to,” says director Jeff Morley. “Joining the CEA allows us to strengthen and expand relationships with members seeking high quality diesel pump and injector services.” FDS has over 30 years’ experience of running their 860 BHP chassis dynamometers and can power test and diagnose your truck should it have a problem.

Member Profile ConstructionWorX
Asset Finance for the Construction Industry SKM Asset Finance Ltd (SKM), a privately-owned asset finance brokerage, has been acquired by Beyond Asset Finance Ltd, part of the Beyond Funding group of companies. SKM was formed in 1997 by husband and wife Steve and Jackie Moody to provide asset finance solutions, predominantly to the construction sector. Prior to forming SKM Steve had spent 10 years with JCB Finance and three years with Construction Equipment Finance (CEF) whilst Jackie had spent three years with Barclays Mercantile and three years with CEF. From modest beginnings SKM is celebrating their 20th anniversary having arranged funding of more than £500m in this sector and the company now have a team of 12 industry specialists working together to service the UK. The Beyond Funding group was formed in early 2017 by a team of finance professionals, although unusually not from banking backgrounds, but focused individuals who want to offer a different lending vision to support businesses through all stages of their development. The business proposition has been supported by entrepreneurial investors, who have already had successful start-ups with bridging and secured loan companies, amongst others. The management team of Beyond Funding identified the construction industry as their target sector and it was for this reason that they opened conversations with Steve and Jackie. Steve gave the background to this, he said, “As soon as we were approached by Beyond Funding we realised that it would be a perfect fit for our business. Their vision is the same as ours has always been, to support the UK construction industry.” Jackie added ‘Unlike many bank owned finance companies, SKM has arranged asset finance through good times and bad, due mainly to our extensive knowledge of the construction sector as well as a supportive panel of funders.” SKM is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Beyond Asset Finance Ltd with Steve and Jackie being Directors of both companies. With the new structure in place, SKM is now a finance company as well as a broker.
They feel that now is a very opportune time for Beyond Funding to enter the market. Steve says, “There is still uncertainty around Brexit and we believe that we can support companies operating within the construction industry.” Jackie confirms “We have set aside funds to finance hard assets such as construction equipment, cranes, access platforms and commercial vehicles.’ Having no existing financial exposure to the construction sector, they are very much open for business.” To support this statement Steve and Jackie have set themselves very high service standards, they aim to make decisions on all finance proposals under £200,000 the same day, often within four-hours. Their sales co-ordinators are very experienced, as are the Beyond Funding credit and risk team. Speaking with Steve and Jackie they are both very passionate about what they can offer and believe it is important to give prompt credit decisions backed up by a smooth pay out function. SKM has exhibited at many construction industry trade shows and 2017 is no exception as they have stands at both Vertikal Days and Plantworx. Steve said, “Whether you are a business owner, dealer, manufacturer or broker, we openly invite you to come along and discuss any finance requirements you may have.” SKM are members of the Construction Equipment Association (CEA) and the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) and recently became members of the Lighthouse Club. “We believe it is important to support the industry by exhibiting at these types of shows.” States Jackie. “We know we can add a competitive advantage to manufacturers and dealers with our sales-aid finance proposition.” “This can only be enhanced now that we are a finance company in addition to being a broker.” Confirms Steve. “Many finance companies over promise and under deliver, we are aiming to deliver what we promise.” ■

Pick of the Crop The Plantworx Innovation Award winners were announced at a ceremony held at 10-11 Cartlon House Terrace in central London, the former home of Prime Minister William Gladstone. Hosted by CEA's (Construction Equipment Association) chief executive, Rob Oliver, 45 guests gathered to celebrate the winners of the 2017 Innovation Awards, which recognise and celebrate those innovative companies, products and services that have made a major impact in the construction equipment industry.
Judged by a panel of independent experts, the standard and volume of entries this year indicates an industry full of innovative ideas for the construction sector. Here we review the innovation categories, the winners and highly commended alongside some of the key highlights and discussions of the day across the award categories.
Security – Sponsored by SKM Asset Finance Winner: MicroCESAR The judges considered three entries as potential award winners in the Security category: AMI Group’s LightBug mini tracking device, European Springs & Pressings’ spring mechanism for anti-climb zones, and the MicroCESAR security marking system developed by the Construction Equipment Association (CEA) and Datatag. Although they could see merit in the other two entries, the judges were unanimous that there was only one winner: MicroCesar. MicroCESAR was first announced at the Combined Industries Theft Solutions (CITS) conference at the end of 2015, and has been in development ever since. It has been designed to protect small power tools from theft in the same way that the original CESAR System has proved to be a powerful theft deterrent and an invaluable aid in recovery of both compact and larger construction equipment. It uses the same Datatag security marking technology to give each piece of equipment a unique and permanent “fingerprint” that thieves cannot remove. The combination of a unique Datatag RFID transponder and a tamper proof warning/registration label with an integrated QR code means the Police can quickly and easily verify the ownership of a piece of equipment without special equipment or lengthy laboratory testing. Power tools manufacturer STIHL has already announced that it will fit
Engcon were Highly Commended in the Commitment to Skills Category for the company’s Tilt Rotator training scheme MicroCESAR as standard on all its cut-off saws. Thefts of small power tools are extremely common, and the judges felt that MicroCESAR is likely to make significant inroads into reducing these thefts. The panel was also very impressed by the system’s secondary function: stock control. The QR code embedded in the label can be used to access stock management information, as well as on-line health and safety advice and user manuals.
Commitment to Skills and Training – Sponsored by CEA Skills Council Winner: Hire Association Europe Highly Commended: Engcon Highly Commended: A-Plant
microCESAR takes the top award in the Security Category
The judges were really pleased to see a large number of entries for the Commitment to Skills and Training award, from a diverse cross section of the industry. The plant hire sector was well represented, with the strongest of their entries coming from A-Plant, which was awarded Highly Commended.

SPECIAL
The company demonstrated its commitment to upskilling its workforce and also to improving industry safety and compliance through customer training. What particularly impressed the judges was A-Plant’s apprenticeship programme; a quarter of the firm’s apprentices are female, and the scheme has an impressive 76 percent retention rate. The second Highly Commended went to Engcon for its Tiltrotator Safety Training course developed in association with accreditation body NPORS. The judges felt the company had shown a very responsible attitude by acknowledging the rapid growth in the use of Tiltrotators in the UK, and the potential safety issues associated with fitting them to excavators. But these two initiatives were beaten to the top spot by Hire Association Europe, which won the category with its innovative use of gaming technology for health and safety training, including 360o video, 3D animation, virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). The first modules are for working at height and cut-off saws, with users working with VR to select the correct PPE and identify areas of risk. They will soon be followed by modules for dust, noise and HAVS, and other product groups like breakers, angle grinders and diamond drilling. The judges said the HAE’s approach is genuinely innovative, and an important step change in trying to ensure health and safety training reaches a wider audience.
Wacker Neuson was Highly Commended in the Environment Category for its WL20e electric wheeled loader
Among the entries in the Environment category were energy efficient engines, lighting towers, power tools and machines. But the judges felt that many – while worthwhile and excellent products – did not
demonstrate the level of innovation they were looking for in a winner. They awarded Highly Commended to two products that incorporate similar technology to bring innovation to the smaller end of the construction equipment market. The first is Wacker Neuson’s WL20e electric drive wheel loader. This 2.3 tonne machine has a tipping load of 1.4t, and achieves a similar performance to the equivalent diesel-driven model but with no emissions and far lower running costs. The second Highly Commended goes to Avant for its e5 and e6 full electric, battery powered compact articulated loaders, designed for indoor and non-ventilated spaces that don’t allow any exhaust emissions, or where there are noise restrictions. Small is also beautiful as far as the overall winner is concerned. It is the Red Rhino RR5000 Electric Tracked Crusher, which was initially developed as a bespoke machine for an underground mine in France, but has proved so popular that Red Rhino has taken it into full

Gecko’s TruckLoader was Highly Commended in the Efficiency Category
Marubeni Komatsu’s PC210LCi was the outright winner in the Efficiency Category
production. The crusher is powered from mains electricity, and only uses 24 kW of power, when a comparable sized diesel-powered machine would use more than 60 litres of fuel per day, with the resulting exhaust and noise emissions. The judges said they could envisage the machine being incredibly useful on city centre and restricted sites; it can be transported very easily – making it possible to move it from site to site quickly – and would also be a valuable piece of equipment at waste treatment facilities.
The skip can be landed and discharged directly into tipper trucks, RORO skips, barges or onto the floor for stockpiling, giving construction sites an alternative to traditional methods like boat skips and circular muck skips. The innovation in the TruckLoader means that a truck on any site with a crane can be loaded without the need for secondary discharge equipment; and at any point within the reach of the crane, making it ideal for sites with restricted access. The winner in this category is Komatsu’s PC210LCi-11 intelligent Machine Control Crawler Excavator. This is way more than a simple upgrade of the previous award-winning model; Komatsu has created a hydraulic excavator that comes out of the factory with intelligent machine control and the capability for semi‐automatic operation. The combination of the machine control system and a tilt bucket that is automatically limited from digging beyond the target surface should lead to significant efficiency savings on various levels. The bucket cannot dig beyond the target depth, so there can be no over-digging; and complex surface designs can be achieved without having to keep changing the position of the machine. It impressed the judges, who believe the PC210LCi-is set to be a highlight of Plantworx 2017.
Efficiency – Sponsored by Datatag Winner: Marubeni-Komatsu – PC210LCi Runner Up: Gecko – TruckLoader The Runner Up in the Efficiency Category is a relatively simple idea, but one that could make a difference on a lot of sites – particularly where space is limited or access is difficult. It is the TruckLoader skip system from Gecko, which has been designed to make muck away safer, easier and more efficient.
JCB’s Hydradig was the clear winner in the Engineering Category
Brokk’s new SmartPower electrical system impressed the judges in the engineering category and was awarded a Runner-Up prize.

Engineering
The judges were expecting a high level of innovation in the Engineering category, and certainly saw a lot of exceptional products among the large field of entries. For the most part, however, they felt that many of the machines and products were developments of existing models rather than being genuinely innovative. One innovation that did impress them was the new SmartPower electrical system that has been fitted in Brokk’s radio controlled demolition machine. This intelligent electrical power management system optimises the performance of the machine based on factors like the quality of the power supply and the environment. In making it Runner-Up, the judges said the system is a real
innovation that will allow the machine when there is a poor power supply, and also protect the machine from harmful faulty power. However, the stand-out engineering innovation this year is JCB’s new Hydradig wheeled excavator. The company has taken what has traditionally been a problematic machine class and redesigned it from the ground up, starting with the decision to relocate all the major components to the lower chassis. The result is an excavator that has much better visibility, stability, mobility, manoeuvrability and serviceability than anything in this class before. Since its launch last year, the Hydradig has proved extremely popular in the market, among both rental companies and owner-operators, particularly those working on urban worksites and utility contracts. The judges were very impressed that JCB had decided to completely redesign and re-engineer the wheeled excavator, resulting in a machine that is one of the first genuinely new pieces of construction equipment in 20 years.
Securi-Cabin’s Smart Pick Welfare Unit wowed the judges securing a first place in the Non-Operated Plant and Support Products Category

delight among the judges: Securi-Cabin’s Smart Pick Welfare Unit. The units are designed to be placed on site without a Hiab-type crane. They sit flat on a trailer during transport; once on site, the trailer is manoeuvred into positon, hydraulic legs extend from the base of the unit to the ground and then raise the unit off the trailer so the trailer can pull away. The Welfare Unit can then be lowered to the ground. All of this is done by an operator using a wireless remote control system, so at no stage does anyone have to climb onto the unit to fix chains, or operate any kind of crane or lifting gear. Another feature of the unit is that it can be extended once it arrives on site – again using the remote control – from 5.4 metres long to 7.2 metres. The judges thought it was a fantastic innovation.
Safety Husqvarna’s DXR Dust Reduction Kit was the clear winner in the Safety Category
Non-operated Plant and Support Products – Sponsored by CEA Winner: Securi-Cabin – Smart Pick Welfare Unit Runner Up: SiteStak This year there is a new category in the Plantworx Innovation Awards, for Non-operated Plant and Support Products. It attracted some interesting entries, including an acoustic enclosure from Echo Barrier and a hole drilling system from Brilliant Ideas – as well as new initiatives from SKM Asset Finance and Point of Rental Software. But the two that really caught the judges’ imagination are products for making life on site better and more efficient. The Runner-up is SiteStak, a simple system for storing drainage and ducting materials and accessories on site. It may be simple, but it is also very effective, preventing sites becoming cluttered with piles of pipes and fittings, and ensuring contractors can quickly find the materials they are looking for. The winner in this category is a product that prompted absolute
Winner: Husqvarna - DXR Dust Reduction Kit Highly Commended: Tufftruk – Truxta Rigid 4x4 Micro Dumper Highly Commended: Rhinox Buckets - Uni-tusk X1 The Safety category attracted a very high number of entries, and the judges decided to award Highly Commended to two of them. The first is the Truxta Rigid 4x4 Micro Dumper, launched in November 2016 by Tufftruk. The dumper has a failsafe braking system that means it won’t roll back, even on a steep incline; and two stage self-tipping skip means no manual lifting. The judges felt the Truxta Rigid could bring huge safety benefits for the DIY, small building and landscape sectors. Also Highly Commended was the Uni-tusk X1 from Rhinox buckets. It is a combined tooth and blade system that has no sharp edges – reducing the chance of cable strikes – while still allowing efficient digging. But the Winner is a product that addresses the serious health risks caused by breathing in dust from demolition and breaking activities. It is a brand-new dust reduction accessory designed by Husqvarna for all its DXR robots for use with a range of Atlas Copco breakers. The accessory supplies water to the tool that binds any airborne dust, causing it to fall to the ground rather than risking an operator breathing in harmful dust particles. It also has environmental benefits and improves efficiency on site, as no-one has to be designated specifically just to damp down dust. The judges thought that Husqvarna had found a very efficient way to tackle an important safety issue. Because the water supply is triggered by the breaker, it ensures that the dust suppression will always happen, rather than relying on human intervention. All the winning and Highly Commended products will be at Plantworx this year highlighted in the Plantworx Hub and on the companies stands. ■

Let the Action Commence One of the key attractions of Plantworx is the ability to see new machines and ideas being demonstrated in a real-life working environment. In keeping with working machinery demonstrations, plant owners and operators will be offered the chance of “stick time” on a wide variety of machines on presentation of the necessary accreditation, in keeping with industry guidelines such as CPCS card, CMPE or NPORS. A&Y Equipment Ltd will be showing a number of key products from its Ammann, Yanmar and Cormidi ranges at the show, located on both the static stand and demo area. A variety of Yanmar excavators from 1 through to 10 tonne are being exhibited, both zero tail swing (ViO) and semi zero (SV). It will be the first time for many to see the new and improved 5 tonne class ViO50-6. Its newly designed cab and increases in power and stability have made it a popular seller in 2017. The Vi012 micro that debuted at the Executive Hire Show will also be on the stand. Since its first appearance, a number of these have been sold with one user who says they treat it like a 1.5 tonne machine but with the compactness of a one tonner. A machine that always turns heads and gets a lot of interest on social media and on sites is the SV100 with its two-piece boom. This 10 tonne Yanmar uses the traditional boom configuration from wheeled excavators to make it an incredibly versatile digger. The company will have one of these located on their demonstration area where you can see for yourself the array of time saving features on offer and find out just why this model has found a niche in the 10 tonne range. On the compaction side the Ammann ASC130 roller will stand out due to its size. This 13 tonne single drum roller will be joined by light tandem ARX rollers, including the ever popular ARX26 (120cm drum

The show will see a UK public debut for Hanix Europe’s long awaited new 8 tonne class N085uj hydraulic excavator. The new e-series is fully electric battery-powered loader in the same size class as the Avant 500 series, offering zero emissions, extremely low noise and minimal running costs. The battery-powered loader is especially suitable for indoor use where ventilation is limited, meaning the operator and workers are not exposed to the exhaust emissions which create health risks. A further benefit of a battery driven machine is the extremely low noise level, meaning it can be used in noise restricted areas. The new e-series features two models: Avant e5 and Avant e6. The quick attach system as well as the multi connector for the attachment hydraulics are the same as in other Avant models, so the large attachment range is suitable also to the e-series. With almost 600 square metres of space - including a large digging demo area with a full range of excavators available for test drives Hanix Europe’s stand will be hard to miss at the show. “Following our participation at Plantworx in 2015 we have seen a renewed level of interest in the brand,” says Hanix MD, Paul Clarke. “We are particularly looking forward to presenting our new 8.5-tonne midi-excavator to the public for the first time at Plantworx and, again another first for the UK, we will be demonstrating a fully radio-controlled version of the popular 5.5-tonne H55DR excavator.” The Hanix N085uj, which replaces the much-loved H75C, is the first of a new generation of Hanix ‘urban’ mini- and midi-excavators.

performance 2,615cc Kubota V2607 engine provides 43 kW of power for this 8,315 kg machine, and its relatively low capacity promises excellent fuel economy, with emissions in line with EU Stage IIIB regulations. The machine specifications also confirm that this model is available with an option of either short or long dipper arm – the longer option adds 200 mm to both maximum digging depth and ground level reach; at 4,505 and 7,135 mm respectively. The company’s range of excavators will be joined by a pair of crawlermounted aerial work platforms; the articulating boom platforms are manufactured in Japan by Hanix Europe’s parent company, Nagano Industry and Hanix plan to introduce these machines to the UK during 2017. A-Plant is one of the UK’s largest equipment rental companies and forms part of FTSE 100 company, Ashtead Group plc. The company’s hire fleet of equipment comprises over 175,000 items of plant, tools and other types of equipment for infrastructure, construction and various other industries. At the show A-Plant’s industry experts will be will be demonstrating equipment including, generators, excavators, tower lights, traffic lights, trakway, powered access and site welfare and accommodation units. Kubota, the manufacturer of compact construction equipment, will be showcasing its brand new mini excavator, the KX042-4 at this year’s show. The 4-tonne machine is the most environmentally friendly excavator in its class and will be unveiled for the first time in the UK and Ireland on stand D63. The new machine will be on show alongside many other Kubota construction, tractor, groundcare and engine products at the show.

The KINSHOFER Nox tiltrotator will be displayed by Augertorque at the show. Its ram-less design is compact, both in width and height, and durable. The tiltrotator fits easily to machines ranging from 3.0 to 25 tonnes operating weight and allows ease of operation in many applications. The whole design is based around efficiency, low maintenance and maximising productivity. The tiltrotator is the result of years of research and development. The cast body is produced from high strength special alloy ensuring durability in the toughest conditions. The tilting function is achieved by an elliptic rotary actuator ensuring an extremely compact design with constant tilting force. Along with integrated worm drive providing 360° continuous rotation and hydraulics system within the solid cast housing. On the Wacker Neuson stand, the centre of attention will be the company’s DW90 cabbed dumper with the new optional OPS+ system as well as the electric wheel loader WL20e, which has been awarded “Highly Commended” in the Environmental Innovation category of the Plantworx Innovation Awards 2017. The cabbed dumper with OPS+ – OPS stands for operator presence switch – offers additional operator safety. The seat contact switch only allows the machine to start up when the operator is seated. If the operator is standing, the speed is reduced in a controlled manner. The machine will slow down with the aid of the hydrostatic breaking. This ensures maximum safety on the construction site. The option is available for the Wacker Neuson dumpers DW60, DW90 and DW100 with payloads of 6,000, 9,000 and 10,000 kilograms. The electric wheel loader WL20e has two electric motors, one for the drive system and one for the operating hydraulics, ensure that the performance features of the wheel loader WL20e with a bucket capacity of 0.2 m3 match those of the conventional machine.

New Machinery Takes Centre Stage The third biennial Plantworx Construction Machinery exhibition is just weeks away. The show, hosted by the CEA (Construction Equipment Association), takes place at its established home at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire from 6 to 8 June 2017. Over 360 exhibitors have signed up for the all-action event; and of these over 140 exhibitors will be making their show debut. No matter what equipment you are interested in - you’ll find it at Plantworx: earthmoving equipment; compaction kit; drills and hammers; compressors; attachments; and much much more. The 2017 show will also feature a Wi-Fi Hub where visitors can keep up to date with emails and do business whilst doing business. In terms of size and exhibitors numbers the 2017 show has exceeded the 2015 exhibition event and the Plantworx team is expecting the show to be a ‘sell out’ - making this event the hottest ticket in town and a spectacular action-packed three days. Spanning 140,000m2, visitors can see machines and tools being put through their paces on one of the many demonstration areas around the show. Amongst the demonstration stands are hundreds of static stands packed with innovative new products. And over the next few pages we take a look at what’s on offer at this year’s construction equipment extravaganza.
dummy pins - the reduced bucket pin to tooth dimensions will increase machine breakout forces and reduce common contact issues when machines are fitted with a quick coupler. According to Whites, the LPX range has many benefits over traditional buckets including, centralised bucket transport carrying hooks allowing the safe transportation of buckets around the worksite without the need for chains or slings, large horizontal wear strips providing additional strength where it is needed around the main contact points of the bucket shell, and a double radius design to reduce bucket drag and increase productivity.

Con Mech Engineers is launching its new range of BLADEMASTER Wear Part Replacement Kits. Each kit includes all the edges, blades, base plates and fixings needed to refurbish many of the most popular buckets in the UK market. The new range offers operators a one stop replacement and refurbishment solution for CAT and Volvo Loaders and CAT and Komatsu Dozers. On the stand, there will also be a wide range of BLADEMASTER products on display and will feature a Loader bucket fitted with a BLADEMASTER Wear Part Replacement Kit. New exhibitor Pladdet will be showing a range of sorting grabs which are engineered and produced in the Netherlands made from highquality Hardox and Weldox Pladdet say that the intelligent design and high quality components including Parker rotating motors and induction hardened pins ensure extremely high rotational and closing forces, turnable blades and endless 360° rotation. This is all packaged within a very robust housing, designed to enable easy maintenance for the operator. The Pladdet grabs are developed specifically for the demolition, environmental and recycling industries.
New to the show is Southern Plant Spares which will be showing the new range of Rhinox Buckets. Taking centre stage will be the award-winning UNI-TUSK X1 which combines a tooth and blade into one system with no sharp edges. This reduces the risk of penetrating underground cables and pipes. SPS claim that the large surface area of the UNI-TUSK X1 also increases the digging efficiency. Because the UNI-TUSK X1 is designed like a sidecutter style tooth, it locks the side plates and the lip plate, increasing the structural integrity of the bucket. “In recent times, utilities contractors have requested that all excavator buckets are supplied with the teeth removed to reduce the chance of cable strike. Whilst this does help saves lives, it causes massive increase in wear to the bucket, leading to a huge increase in maintenance costs for plant hire companies,” says marketing director Dale Record. “The Rhinox Uni-tusk X1 is a unique innovation which creates a combined tooth and blade system which not only protects the bucket and significantly increases the product lifetime, but it also reduces the likelihood of a cable strike due to its profile.” JKS UK is using Plantworx to launch the grapheX which - according to JKS - brings together a completely new approach to the design and mechanics of diamond cutting application. “Since the start of synthetic diamond application in the 1950’s all manufacturers have used a set

list of ingredients to produce their diamond cutting tools. The new grapheX technology, incorporates the largest dual De Beers diamond grit sizes ever to be used in segment manufacture combined with a unique copper based matrix,” explains JKS managing director Darren Aaron. “Through years of testing and innovation we have created a diamond cutting and drilling segment that performs faster and more efficiently than any of its rivals, whilst allowing one segment to cover a much wider range of motor powers due to the dual diamond innovation.” A user just needs one blade (instead of many) to cover all low to medium powered machinery and just one blade type to cover all medium to high powered machinery, safe in the knowledge that the blades offer excelling performance. BSP International Foundations is using Plantworx to show its range of excavator mounted hammers for rail and civils. On display will be the DX Piling Hammer which will be showcased in an excavator mounted application – the hammer is capable of driving sheet piles, “H” piles or steel tubes. The BH120 Piling Hammer will also be on display – this was developed for mounting on back hoe loaders or small eight tonne excavators and is compact and versatile – suitable for driving small steel or plastic sheet piles, small bearing piles of wood or steel.

The range comprises models to suit 2.5 to 25 tonne machines, and stars can be spaced to produce a range of output sizes. Also on display will be Lloyd Engineering’s Rotary Screening Buckets which have a conical drum and improved apron angles to give exceptional output and control for a wide range of demolition, top soil, waste, compost and recycling applications. A selection of new models of mini-excavator, star screening buckets has recently been added, widening the range of sizes available for smaller machines. The company’s ‘Babystar’ is suitable for machines as small as 2.5 tonnes. The larger rotary screening buckets with the quick-change drum system have been reintroduced and now feature the conical drum design. All buckets have a single hammer line, with no drain line required.

RSP UK is launching a new suction excavator. RSP UK is launching a new innovation of suction excavator at Plantworx -the new ESE 8 RD 8000. RSP says the new design benefits from a symmetrical super-structure ensuring optimum weight distribution, this combined with the rear of the suction excavator being manufactured in stainless steel means that the new innovation has many environmental and safety benefits. The use of stainless steel means the gross weight of the machine has been reduced by approximately one tonne, benefiting customers as this has increased the payload capacity without exceeding the permissible gross weight. The rear of the suction excavator benefits from variable titling heights, combined with a container which can empty from either side, giving the new design flexibility previously unknown in this field. Whether it’s a storage container, a skip or loading onto a truck loading floor, it is possible to do so from either side, various heights, increments and tilt angles.

Hatz will be showcasing the new Silent Pack Engine.
Engines, Generators, Compressors and Lighting Hatz, the German manufacturer of energy efficient diesel engines will be showcasing the company’s 4H50TIC Silent Pack engine at this year’s Plantworx. Hatz describe this latest innovation as “powerful, compact, quiet and efficient.” The progressive Hatz 4H50TIC diesel unit performs up to 55kW at a maximum torque of 240 Nm and complies with all current regulations and requirements, including EU Stage IIIB or US EPA Tier 4 final. With individually designed sound attenuation, the Hatz 4H50TIC Silent Pack reaches a reduction of noise emissions by up to four decibels. Therefore, the 4H50TIC Silent Pack emits approximately 60% less noise when compared to a standard unenclosed open power unit (OPU). CompAir Gardner Denver is returning to Plantworx to launch its brand new DLT1304 range of compressors, filling the gap from 300 to 500 cfm.

The company say its new range continues the strategy of a compact, lightweight design from its previous models, but also now fulfils Stage IIIB compliancy throughout the UK, including Low Emission Zones. By partnering again with Deutz on the new models, it could keep the weight, size and shape of the new compressor almost identical to the extremely successful DLT1303 range. As well as launching this new machine, CompAir Gardner Denver will be showing prototypes of some other new developments coming out of CompAir compressors and air tools. Morris Site Machinery is set to unveil its most comprehensive range of power generation products at Plantworx - from canopied rental and open set petrol generators to the latest lighting tower – the TL90 Ultimate.

Shelton Drainage will be at Plantworx for the first time this year – the company have put their latest agricultural trencher to good use in a completely new market - installing trenches for ground source heat pump pipework. The Lincolnshire company have reported an increase in their hire business and its largely down to land and homeowners booking the machine to install their heat pumps. Shelton director Mick Claxton said: “The CT150 Agri Chain Trencher can be used as an alternative to an excavator and has been popular with those wanting to install a ground source heat pump without the disruption which can be created when you get heavy plant machinery on site. The machine will install between 500 to 1,000 metres of trenches per day making it up to ten times faster than using a traditional excavator. This trencher digs up to a maximum of 1.5 metres deep and can install a variable trench to aid heat recovery, it also leaves more friable soil for backfilling as well as creating less ground disturbance and has the ability to install pipework in a one pass operation and at a gradient to reduce air locks. We have been really encouraged by the interest, hence our decision to exhibit at Plantworx this year. We are looking forward to meeting some new faces and showing the industry what we have to offer.” Schulte Industries of Canada is a manufacturer of Rotary Cutters, Snow Clearance and Rock Removal equipment the company is coming to Plantworx for the first time this year.

According to Securi-Cabin the Smart Pick is very easy to use and fast to unload. When unloading the unit from the trailer, hydraulic legs raise the welfare unit off the trailer allowing the trailer to pull away; the welfare unit can then be lowered to the ground (without the need for a hi-ab crane) with a wireless remote control system. The Smart Pick welfare unit is ideal for use in restrictive areas as the trailer has its own automatic steering system, at the rear, which guides the trailer onto the capture pin on the unit.

The Thunder Dome can be dismantled and relocated if needed, with an estimated construction time from a half day to a day depending on the size of the shelter and level of competence. Paragon Protection Systems is making its Plantworx debut and introducing the Zappshelter system, which is described as a revolutionary system for providing rapid cover for a range of on-site applications, both temporary and permanent. Zappshelters comprise of a galvanised steel arch structure and a tough fabric membrane which offers great protection from the elements for many years. It is ideal for storing plant and access equipment, and has limitless uses for anyone requiring significant covered storage or workspace. Designed and engineer-certified for the world’s harshest environments, Zappshelters can provide flexible temporary or permanent covered areas for many different locations. They are available in a great range of widths, and they work perfectly with standard steel shipping containers and precast concrete walls. Paragon report that the Zappshelters are rapid to install and can be erected using only the most basic of equipment; also, the system usually requires no planning permission to construct, and are easy to dismantle and relocate as needed. “As Zappshelters are classed as temporary structures, they can often be installed wherever containers can be situated without the need for planning consent,” says Paragon Protection Systems managing director, Craig Michel. “This, coupled with attractive costs, means that they often outweigh permanent structures, with significant savings.”

Montracon is showing the new MT45 machinery carrier. Montracon has taken a leaf from the car industry when designing its new MT45 machinery carrier by engineering a standard specification base line common platform, with a range of optional modules, which at the ultimate level provide a trailer with unrivalled load versatility and its owner with optimum operational flexibility. The MT45 is plated for operation at up to 45 tonne gross trailer weight; the latest developments include a low-profile trailer neck coupled with a reduced incline air operated neck ramp, the two features combining to ease the approach angle for equipment such as access platforms right down to small electric scissors and smaller fork lifts to power up onto the neck ready to be secured for onward transport. Mac’s Truck Sales is presenting its new range of vehicles at the show which includes Crane vehicles, Beavertails, Cheese wedges, Tipper Grabs, Hook loaders, Skips, and Moffett mounted vehicles. All Mac’s bodies are built “in-house” by the company’s fully trained (VCA Type Approval and City & Guilds Level 3 with Distinctions) staff. This year has also seen Mac’s Truck Sales be the first in the country to achieve the “Gold Award” for crane fitting from Fassi. ATE UK is showing its Portable Trailer lift which ATE say is purely designed to make workshop life easier in the servicing of trailers, small vehicles and plant equipment. The trailer lift is able to lift 2.7 tonnes; the portable piece of equipment is ideal for busy workshops and service bays and can be collapsed and stored away when not required. Features of this lift include a lift height of 1200 mm, lowers to 130 mm for easy access to most equipment, dual hydraulic rams and a safety button with multiple lock positions. The power unit can be moved for maximum convenience and the heavy duty casters make it easy to move. New exhibitor Brilliant Ideas has developed a solution for strapping down secure loads to a trailer or van body where after placing the hook/ loop on the pin/chassis it often slips off before the operative has had chance to tighten it up. The solution comes in the form of the new Hook Buddy – which is a purpose designed plastic hook with an inbuilt magnet and specially shaped connection plates. To keep the strap in place just slide the hook up as high as possible up the tie of pin /chassis then place the hook buddy underneath the strap hook to magnetically hold it in place. The driver can now walk round the trailer and ratchet the strap up knowing the hook is securely in place. After the load is secured the hook buddy is then removed and stored ready for use next time.

Camso, formerly Camoplast Solideal, continues to strengthen its construction tyre portfolio with the launch of two next generation skid steer tyres. As a leader in skid steer tyre solutions, Camso engineered these next generation tyres based on the specific needs of end users. They are part of the widest range of skid steer tyres in the industry. The Camso SKS 753 provides versatility and optimal durability on mixed and hard surfaces, while the Camso SKS 532 delivers superior traction on soft soil surfaces. The construction industry has evolved over the years. General jobs have become more specialised and the skid steer’s versatility has been able to respond to this reality. As applications become more specialised so should the tyres that work in them. “We believe productivity and profitability can be maximised when you choose the right tyre for your application,” says David DeWaele, product management director, EMEA and APAC – Construction. “Beyond offering the widest range of tyres, OTT and rubber tracks, having the best solution to suit any particular application is what is really driving us.”
In January 2017, Air-Seal Products launched their new environmentally friendly Tyre Sealant. It will be the same product that has been helping companies save money on puncture costs and downtime over the past seventeen years, but according to Airseal, will be even better for the environment. New for 2017, the heavy-duty range will become environmentally friendly by using Propylene instead of Ethylene Glycol. Various patterns of Bridgestone’s Earthmover tyre will be on display at Plantworx including V-steel L-Traction (Articulated Dumper) which offers a self-cleaning tread pattern, suitable for wet, soft and muddy surfaces and ensures a very comfortable ride. The V-steel J-Traction (Loader and Dozer) will also be showcased and this tyre provides great productivity value due to its low vibration level, high stability and good soil traction.

been specifically designed to revolutionise the safe lifting, shifting and installing of bulk building materials, plant and equipment. At only one metre wide, it has been ‘size matched’ to pallets and bulk bags, but can also transport and install statues, street furniture, glass curtain walling, I-Beams and other materials. The Hooka’s patented Load-lock system completely eliminates the inherent instability of traditional forklifts by transforming dangerous ‘suspended payloads’ into ‘safety ballast’ for the machine. This allows the Hooka to be extremely compact, lightweight, and have ‘turn on the spot’ manoeuvrability. This provides unrivalled delivery access into the heart of sites, thereby minimising manual handling, yet the machine still lifts and shifts loads of up to 1.5 tonnes with complete safety. Tufftruk will be showing its new Truxta Rigid mini dumper - the machine range secured a Plantworx Innovation award and was Highly Commended in the Safety Category. The Truxta Rigid is all about manoeuvrability and safety – it’s the ideal machine for the professional housebuilder working with limited space.
TuffTruk is showing its new Truxta Rigid Mini Dumper.
Available in two sizes there is the Bendi 300 and the Bendi 450, with a skip capacity of 300 or 450 kg. The mini dumper offers excellent load capacity in and around sites with a generous payload capability it also easily manoeuvres up steep ramps and rough terrain. The new 4x4 mini dumpers provide easy access even in the tightest corners. At just 850 mm wide it’s compact and Tufftruk say it can get into places other units can’t. The Bendi mini dumpers articulated chassis means the machines handles corners with the minimum effort - just steer around bends and corners - no need to lift or reposition. The unit weighs in at just 200 kg and is available in petrol, diesel or there is a battery powered offering a quiet environmentally friendly option. Another Plantworx Innovation Award winner was Red Rhino Crushers with its RR5000 Electric Tracked Crusher – the machine scooped first place in the Environment category. The brand new RR5000 Electric is an environmentally-focused compact tracked crusher; purpose built for operation where reduced emissions are essential. With the London, Low Emission Zone, already in place and nationwide inner cities set to follow suit – this is a product innovation with clearly defined opportunities for growth and one which now has a head start on its competitors. Powered from mains electricity, it only uses 24 kW of mains power.

Red Rhino Crushers is exhibiting it RR5000 Electric Tracked Crusher. Comparable sized diesel powered crushers would use 60+ litres per day of fuel with resulting harmful emissions. The RR5000 Electric plant is easily transported – at 2.9 tonnes with no additional fuel or attachments to accompany it, the RR5000 Electric can be towed on a small plant trailer behind a van or 4x4 – again reducing the emissions generated by HGV transportation. RDS Technology is showing the LOADMASTER a50, LOADEX 100, LOADMASTER a100, iSOSYNC and WEIGHLOG a10. The LOADMASTER a50, the enhanced colour touchscreen replacement for the LOADMASTER 8kiX, is an on-board weighing system for larger loaders designed to help increase loading efficiency, cut vehicle movements on site and ensure lorries are correctly loaded first time. The LOADEX 100 is a retrofittable scale installed on both tracked and wheeled 360° excavators and material handling machines to weigh the amount of material in the bucket, grab or clamshell. LOADMASTER a100 is an on-board weighing scale for wheeled loaders. A CAN based system combining cutting edge sensor technology and signal processing techniques its designed to provide precise and consistent bucket weight information and to emphasise the gains in productivity and profitability that can be achieved with such technology. iSOSYNC enables control of the loadout operation and inventory, productivity and traceability management. The software can be used with either LOADMASTER a100 or LOADEX 100 and allows the rapid transfer of job information from a central computer to the loader or

For smaller loaders and skid-steers, RDS offers the WEIGHLOG a10, which also benefits from a colour touch screen display. This instrument is designed to be a user friendly on-board weighing system which provides accurate and consistent bucket and total load results, meaning stock management and check-weighing operations can be controlled more effectively. On the Probst Handling stand the main attraction will be its RVD concrete pipe lifter, designed to eliminate the use of slings or chains to achieve the lift- from off the lorry bed and then into the ground, and the TM tracked vacuum laying device, ideal for stretches of kerbs that need to be laid. Also on display will be a range of mechanical block grabs - used for lifting either a single kerb to a full pack of blocks/bricks, and a range of vacuum lifting devices. Centre Tank Services offer a simple solution to the costly misfiling of AdBlue in the form of the nozzle used to dispense the AdBlue safely. The Piusi SB325 AdBlue nozzle, will be showcased at Plantworx, is available with a magnetic miss-filling spout. Thanks to its magnetic spout, the nozzle will only release fluid into a fill point that has a partnering magnetic adaptor inserted into it. With a magnetic adaptor fitted in the fill point only, the nozzle can physically not dispense into the diesel tank as there is no partner magnet to open the magnetic spout. The accidental filling of AdBlue into the diesel tank is therefore avoided. To meet ISO standards, most new AdBlue using vehicles and plant machinery already have a magnetic collar inserted into the fill point at manufacturing stage. If you don’t think your machinery already has a magnetic collar fitted, a retrofit magnetic fill point adaptor is available to buy alongside the miss-filling nozzle.

It is made from a special blend of recycled polymer called Zetralene which is vastly stronger than standard HDPE. MaxiTrack mats are guaranteed unbreakable by vehicles to 130 tonnes. Despite this extreme strength, MaxiTrack is also remarkably light. Mats only weigh 40kg, which means that two workers can safely handle them without the need for expensive lifting equipment, thereby providing a much-needed cost-effective alternative to traditional aluminium panels. The mats are designed to be easy to transport, quick to lay and simple to pack up and reuse, thereby offering a winning return on investment. Their performance, efficiency and reuseability gives high appeal for all ends of the market. It is the perfect solution for laying down portable access roads or providing temporary ground protection for construction projects, industrial sites and large events.

Primary and Secondary Engineer at Plantworx – Inspiring our Future Engineers today. It’s full steam ahead for the Primary and Secondary Engineer event at Plantworx which is taking place on the final day of the show (Thursday 8th June 2017) in the Hub area of the show. The event will form part of the Student Afternoon, which Plantworx successfully piloted at the 2015 event. The Leicestershire schools that are taking part in this STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) challenge are busy preparing their vehicles and fluid power projects in readiness for the ‘Celebration Event’, where teams from each of the participating schools will go head to head to find the best in class. Judges will include engineers from Caterpillar and Perkins, who have kindly volunteered for the role, and from other sponsor companies, who have made staging this event at Plantworx possible. This brand-new initiative by the CEA forms part of the CEA Skills Council programme – inspiring our future engineers today!
Susan Scurlock CEO and Founder of Primary Engineer said, “Over a 12-year period I have seen the status of engineering in primary schools not only grow but begin to engrain itself. Last year we worked with 55,000 pupils new to the programmes. Extending the programme into Secondary schools has been a challenge but we created a Fluid Power Competition which caught teachers and pupils attentions, and have ran it as a pilot project in schools local to Bruntingthorpe. Plantworx through the CEA has not only become a funder of our programmes but a significant and close partner. The invitation to hold our celebration events for Primary Engineer and the pilot challenge for Secondary Engineer at Plantworx was accepted in a heartbeat, the impact of meeting engineers at Plantworx and talking to them about their projects, seeing the work that goes on outside of the classroom will stay with the pupils and teachers for a lifetime and most likely underpin any decisions they make about their future careers. This is where all our work and your aspirations for the future collide. On a personal note, every single member of staff have put their name against this event – we are likely to have an empty office that day. We, as much as the schools, are so looking forward to joining you at Plantworx. Thank you for all your support.”

Rob Oliver, chief executive CEA (Construction Equipment Association) said, “Whilst those of us involved in the construction equipment industry know it to be at times challenging but fundamentally fascinating and worthwhile, we often forget to spread the word. And it’s no good complaining about skills shortages when we haven’t planted the seeds of interest amongst the next generation. The HE Services Diggerland experience has proved the attraction of “big kit” to the young and the renaissance of Lego confirms there remains enthusiasm amongst school
aged children for putting together components to make an impressive end-product! Against this backdrop it has been important for the CEA to do its bit. Letting school parties into Plantworx 2015 was a revelation. For 2017, we are building on that by partnering with Primary Engineer who have been at the forefront of introducing engineering principles to our children at an early age. Encouraging them to work on projects that they can showcase at Plantworx, whilst at the same time experiencing the buzz and excitement of the show feels like a great combination.”
Philip Burgess, CEA Skills Advisory Panel commented on the partnership with Primary Engineer he said, “Perhaps the most inspirational presentation at the CEA Skills for Profit Day in 2015 was given by Susan Scurlock, Primary Engineer’s founder and CEO. Her contention that the solution to the current and worsening skills shortage in the engineering sector lies not in government or industry, but in primary schools provided creative insight as to why and how investing in teaching young children the principles of engineering in its most basic, practical form is so necessary. Since then, a key element of our Skills Advisory Panel’s agenda has been to foster links between Primary Engineer’s extending series of programmes (covering the 5-18 age range) and CEA member companies as widely as possible; and Plantworx offers an ideal platform to achieve this.”
Plantworx exhibitors have been extremely supportive of this initiative and have welcomed the opportunity to become involved in the scheme we would like to extend a special thanks our sponsors and to AutoTrader Plant and Nylacast for supporting more than one school. Here’s what our supporters had to say…
Laura Stockton head of marketing and communications at AMI Group said, “AMI believe that school and education build the foundations of an individual’s future, since inception AMI have pro-actively supported recognised apprentice and educational programmes and have trained existing personnel within AMI. We are delighted to be involved with the Primary Engineer project at Plantworx.”

Therefore, by supporting the The Plantworx and Primary Engineer initiative we hope it will inspire more young people into choosing engineering as an interesting, rewarding and fun career.
Alan Batty managing director BOMAG said, “BOMAG, genuinely believe that the construction equipment industry is a great working opportunity for young people and the industry desperately needs young talented people now and in the future. When children are at primary school age they are heavily into engineering through products like Lego, but by the time they are 12-14 we appear to have lost them. We must connect, as an industry, with these young people very early on and then stay connected throughout their informative years. We, BOMAG, wish to help achieve that initial connection and ‘switch on the light’ that engineering, and the construction equipment industry, is a positive and enjoyable place to work and make a career.”
David Redhead, managing director, BSP International Foundations said, “BSP International Foundations Ltd has been in business for over 110 years and throughout that time we have always recognised that we must invest in our future workforce by nurturing young talent. Traditionally we would do this through offering work experience and apprenticeship schemes, but in an increasingly competitive labour market we realise we have to do more to put careers in engineering to the forefront and get young people interested at an early age.

Plantworx looks forward to welcoming the Primary and Secondary Engineer teams, the 25 participating Leicestershire schools, the judges and our sponsors! We’ll see you in the Hub at Plantworx on Thursday June 8th from 8:30am. The Student Trail at Plantworx Thursday 8th June 12pm – 4pm At the Plantworx 2015 event – the CEA Skills Council piloted the first ever Student Trail at the show – the Student Trail will take place once again at the 2017 show. The Student Trail aims to address the skills shortage and encourage more youngsters into the construction equipment industry. The final afternoon of the show will be dedicated to students and teachers from Primary Schools and colleges, and youngsters coming to the show with parents, grandparents and guardians, to take a look at what our industry has to offer and get a taste for construction equipment. The 2015 event was a resounding success with over 300 children attending the event each child was presented with a hi-viz waist coat, kindly supplied by Plantworx exhibitor Nylacast. School parties and other attending youngsters followed a student trail, where children were encouraged to visit participating stands, answer questions and take part in challenges! Husbands Bosworth Primary school brought along 75 of their students ranging in age from 5 – 10 years old.
Louisa Morris head teacher Husbands Bosworth Primary School said, “This was a wonderful opportunity for the children to see the world of construction machinery. The children have had a wonderful time. Volvo Construction Equipment were particularly brilliant and went out of their way to engage with the children. This was an experiment for us to bring so many of the children – they all had a very good and worthwhile visit. We look forward to attending in 2017.” Volvo Construction Equipment reported that “One of the children said, that this was the best school trip EVER. Confirmation that the student initiative was a success”.

When All Is Connected The ability to monitor, manage and even control construction equipment remotely is gaining pace. Construction WorX editor Mark Anthony reports. When I first started writing about construction equipment way back in the last century, I was told an apocryphal story by an industry veteran. According to the story, a machine had broken down and the operator called out the manufacturer. The local dealer’s fitter duly arrived, gave the engine block a light tap with a well-aimed sledgehammer and the machine coughed into life, at which point the operator was handed a bill for £100. “£100 just to hit the engine?” cried the operator. “No,” explained the engineer. “It was £5 for hitting the engine; it was £95 for knowing where to hit it.” Today’s construction equipment owners and operators will, I am sure, relate to this story. But the joke might need to be explained to future generations who will be accustomed not only to the computerised diagnostics that we have today but will live in a world in which machines will automatically alert a developing fault; offer advice on how it might be rectified; and even order its own parts. Welcome to the world of telematics.
88 SPRING 2017
The Future is Bright Exhibitions like the recent ConExpo 2017 show in Las Vegas provide a physical embodiment of current market sentiment. But like the weird concept cars that pop up at events like the Geneva Car Show, these exhibitions also provide advanced warning of the trends and developments that will shape our industry in years to come. And the trend that was most evident at ConExpo was one of telematics, remote monitoring and remote control. With their Komtrax and LiveLink systems, Komatsu and JCB respectively have slowly been urging customers towards a future in which remote monitoring might at least partly replace service inspections. During ConExpo, Caterpillar demonstrated its ability to control a machine more than a thousand miles away; while Volvo reinforced its driverless and autonomous vision of the future. Over the next few pages, we will bring you the very latest telematics information. Telematics might not impact you today; but as sure as eggs is eggs, the telematics revolution is coming.

Doosan Exposes Telematics Benefits Doosan installs telematics on its heavy range of excavators, articulated dump trucks and wheeled loaders. Telematics make a huge difference to fuel economy and work efficiency when using plant. Essentially, a telematic device is a small computer that is part of the machines electronic system that measures factors such as fuel use, journey times and engine heat. It also has a GPS tracker that lets you know where the vehicle is at any time. Telematic data can be uploaded or streamed live to a database or control software. This information can be used to adjust vehicle use patterns and introduce cost saving measures. At the very least it gives you control over how much fuel you are using and how much your operation costs. According to Doosan dealer Promac, these are the main reasons all the main plant manufacturers are starting to make these devices native in their new machines: ●● Increased vehicle security - Knowing where your machines are has obvious security implications. With plant often being worth many tens of thousands of pounds, construction sites are notorious targets for vehicle thieves. Telematics make recovery of a vehicle after theft far more likely, as it allows the police to trace the machine and apprehend the thieves. Even the presence of a telematic device is sometimes enough to deter an opportunistic thief. ●● Increased fuel efficiency - Telematics show how much fuel has been used and the journeys that a vehicle takes. It also shows at what times the engine has been left idling, needlessly using extra fuel.
This lets users improve fuel efficiency by identifying operators that leave the engine running unnecessarily, and take the appropriate action. Poor fuel efficiency is also often the sign of a pending fault or an inefficient engine. Monitoring fuel use on the same vehicle over time can help you assess faults and plan engine upgrades to keep your fleet in peak condition. ●● Optimised vehicle use - Telematic data breaks down your vehicle performance into specific categories that can each be quantified into a cost, e.g. fuel use, repairs, risk of theft. This can be used to optimise how machines are used, for instance by adjusting your journeys from A to B, or by cutting out bad habits, such as leaving vehicle doors open while not in use. ●● Managed maintenance - Using telematics means you don’t have to wait until your next scheduled maintenance to fix something that is going wrong with your plant – or worse, to wait for a fault to occur. A telematic device indicates the performance of all your vehicle’s main systems, from its engine to its electrics, and benchmarks these against performance norms. This lets you schedule maintenance at a convenient time to diagnose faults early and take the appropriate action, saving both time and money. ●● Reduced insurance premiums - Plant insurers recognise the efficiency and security benefits of telematics and often offer preferential rates for machines with inbuilt telematic devices.

Komatsu Captures Big Data KOMTRAX is the state-of-the-art wireless monitoring system installed on nearly all Komatsu machines. It provides precise GPS location and machine data such as operation status, fuel information and a lot more to customers, to distributors - and to Komatsu. This information is essential to optimise machine maintenance and to determine market trends. First launched in Japan in 2001, KOMTRAX is seen as a precursor of “big data”. Back in 1997, Masahiro Sakane – who later went on to serve as President of Komatsu Ltd – was chief administrator at the planning office in Japan. During an objective setting session, he asked an engineer in his staff to suggest an interesting project. By the end of the year, the engineer laid a new 10-page business model proposal on Sakane’s desk. KOMTRAX was born. With his long experience in the field, Sakane knew how difficult it was to provide quality maintenance for machines. An intuition whispered in his ear: “This system has great value. Customers who own many machines easily could pinpoint the location of all machines in their fleet, at any time”. KOMTRAX could also help with security issues. A machine can always get stolen, but it becomes a much greater challenge for thieves when the owner can track his property. Finally, Sakane gave his go-ahead for the project. At first, the idea was not welcome and it started as a small departmental project. But in 1999, a rental company in Fukushima placed a large order for KOMTRAX and it became a commercial reality. At the time, KOMTRAX was not a free option, and therefore not popular. When Sakane became president of Komatsu, he decided that KOMTRAX should be mounted free of charge on all Komatsu machines, as standard. This upfront investment was not just for the customer’s benefit: KOMTRAX also would provide valuable and useful data to improve machine development. An internal request for suggestions to name the new system was sent out. One idea merged “Komatsu” and “Machine Tracking” and seemed to perfectly match the business mind of Komatsu Ltd. The name “KOMTRAX” was quickly adopted by all. Available free of charge on virtually all Komatsu models, KOMTRAX uses one satellite for the geolocalisation of the machine and either a satellite or mobile internet technology (GPRS/3G) for transmission and storage in a dedicated server of the machine data gathered by a KOMTRAX Controller. Throughout the machine’s life registered
KOMTRAX users can access this useful info directly via the Internet. Most of the data are transferred on a daily basis. However, alerts for machine movements and abnormalities are transmitted as soon as they are recorded. If for any reason data cannot be transmitted they are stored in the controller’s memory. On a standard website, KOMTRAX can be viewed using a PC or an iPad. A “KOMTRAX mobile app”, supported by Apple and Android devices, is also available to customers.
KOMTRAX helps with: Fleet management - Improve your fleet utilisation Machine location - Know exactly where your machine is ●● Work monitoring - Know what your machine is doing ●● Security - Know if your machine is safe and prevent unauthorised usage ●● Machine health– Know whether your machine requires service or maintenance Older models still might benefit from basic functionalities, but Komatsu machines equipped with a Komatsu EU Stage IV engine all have the latest KOMTRAX 5.0 version installed, with a new controller: the antenna located inside the cab reduces the risk of theft and damage, 3G/2G technology can be used for data transmission “Komtrax is an essential tool for our day to day operation. It notifies us straight away with any machine abnormalities so we can deal with the issue, saving the machine from further damage. We’ve found that using Komtrax provides us with a great way to collect machine information, such as machine hours, which are absolutely crucial for planning and organising servicing,” says Hawk Plant service controller and KOMTRAX user, Elliot Cipollaro. “In addition we use Komtrax to monitor our fuel efficiency, working/idle time and general productivity, thus enabling us to ensure we are getting maximum output from the equipment.” These views are shared by Cipollaro’s colleague, Alex Keirnan. “Komtrax is a great way to collect up to date machine information, such as the machine hours and abnormality defects,” he concludes. “The Komtrax facility allows us to schedule servicing and diagnose machine faults; therefore reducing machine downtime for our own customers.” ●● ●●

Autonomy and Automation Volvo Construction Equipment presented the HX2 autonomous, battery-electric, load carrier at ConExpo 2017. The second-generation concept machine is part of an electric site research project that aims to transform the quarry and aggregates industry, by reducing carbon emissions by up to 95 percent and total cost of ownership by up to 25 percent. Volvo CE showcased the first-generation of the prototype HX machine, known as HX1, at the company’s Xploration Forum in September last year. Since then, Volvo CE’s engineers have been developing the machine. And while it may still look similar on the outside, it’s completely different on the inside. “The HX2 is fundamentally different to the HX1,” says chief project manager Uwe Müller. “The HX1 was proof of concept. Once we knew it was feasible we updated the design requirements for the HX2 to incorporate shared technologies and components from the Volvo Group, such as electric motors, batteries and power electronics. Integrating a completely new drivetrain was crucial to take full advantage of the groundbreaking ‘electromobility’ developments that are happening inside the Volvo Group. Another new feature is the addition of a vision system, which allows the machine to detect humans and obstacles in its vicinity.” As well as a small fleet of HX2s, other prototype machines that makeup the electric site system includes a prototype electric hybrid wheel loader, and a grid-connected excavator. New technology encompasses machine and fleet control systems and logistic solutions for electric machines in quarries. Volvo CE teamed up with its customer Skanska Sweden, the Swedish Energy Agency and two Swedish universities – Linköping University and Mälardalen University – in October 2015 to collaborate on the SEK 203 million project. Volvo CE is coordinating the project and is in charge of
92 SPRING 2017
developing the machines and systems. Skanska Sweden is providing logistical solutions, application relevance and job site knowledge. The Swedish Energy Agency – a government agency for national energy policy issues – is helping to fund the project and the universities are carrying out research. Two PhD students are looking at battery aging and energy management for electric vehicles, as well as functional safety. Skanska Sweden will incorporate the demonstration machines into its operations and test the electric site concept at a quarry in Western Sweden for 10 weeks at the end of 2018. After this, Volvo CE will examine the project results to see if the concept is viable for the industry. Currently this work is just a research project, with no plans for industrialisation at this stage. “Volvo CE is committed to pushing boundaries and exploring the technology of the future,” says director of emerging technologies Jenny Elfsberg. “The HX2 and the electric site project demonstrate how Volvo CE wants to work with its customers early in the development phase to improve total site performance and sustainability, while also saving customers money. By integrating customers in the development process, we can design the best solution for a task, application and environment together. The concepts being developed in the electric site research project are part of Volvo CE’s long-term future vision, and they have the potential to transform the quarry and aggregates industry. By using electricity instead of diesel to power construction equipment in a quarry, we have the potential to deliver significant reductions in fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, environmental impact and costper-tonne.

Performing Well The European construction equipment sector saw sound growth of 10 percent in 2016, according to a new report from CECE. Building construction equipment experienced better demand than the civil engineering equipment sub-sectors. Overall, the market is at its highest level in five years, but still considerably below the pre-crisis record levels. These are the main findings of the CECE Annual Economic Report 2017. As in the previous year, the European market outperformed most regions of the world, and ranked third in growth numbers, behind only China and India. “The double-digit sales growth in 2016 sure was positive news for our industry in Europe, but we still see big disparities across the continent”, explained Sebastian Popp, economic expert at CECE. Volume-wise, the strongest sales increases were recorded in France, Germany, and Italy. “The German market in particular, and Northern and Western Europe in general, are close to their historical record levels,” Popp continues. “On the other hand, recovery of Southern Europe and Central and Eastern European countries still falls short of expectations.” Also positive was the revival of the Russian market after years of extreme deterioration. Sales of earthmoving equipment in Europe grew by 12 percent in 2016. Building construction equipment (tower cranes and concrete machinery) recorded an even higher growth of 21 percent. “It is encouraging to see that all construction machinery sub-sectors benefited from the upturn,” Popp adds. “This corresponds to the situation of our customer industry which sees growth both in residential and non-residential construction as well as civil engineering.” The CECE Business Barometer index had hit a temporary low following the Brexit vote in the summer of 2016, but has been on a growth path since then which resulted in the highest index value in almost six years in February 2017. Interestingly, almost all world regions are seen positive by the manufacturers surveyed in 2017: Fuelled by infrastructure investments pushed forward by the new government, the US market is expected to see an upturn. China and India are anticipated to continue their upward trend seen last year. A majority of European manufacturers expect the Middle East markets to recover in 2017. Latin America, on the other hand, is not yet anticipated to bounce back from the low 2016 level. For the European market, the manufacturers surveyed in the CECE Barometer expect a generally positive scenario, except for the Turkish market. Hopes particularly concentrate on Scandinavia, France, and Germany. Optimism is equally strong across sub-sectors: The share of manufacturers expecting an improvement of the business situation is approximately two third, which is true for earthmoving, road, and concrete equipment producers. Only component suppliers do not trust the upswing in a similar way – amid a positive average assessment, 63
percent of them expect unchanged business in the near future. Against the backdrop of a modestly growing European construction sector, generally positive industry sentiments, and different stages of market recovery across countries, stable sales of construction equipment with a slight upward tendency appear to be the most realistic scenario for Europe in 2017. Also, European manufacturers should be able to benefit from a world market which is expected to return to growth after three consecutive years of decline.

CECE Welcomes New Secretary General Riccardo Viaggi has taken up his new role as secretary general of the Committee for European Construction Equipment (CECE). He succeeds Sigrid De Vries as head of the construction equipment manufacturers’ trade body, in Brussels. Riccardo is an experienced trade association leader and lobbyist, having previously been the secretary general of the European Builders’ Confederation. The appointment has been welcomed by CEA CEO, Rob Oliver, “Riccardo made a very strong impression during the interview process. I see it as a real bonus in appointing someone who is both experienced within the Brussels network and is knowledgeable about the construction landscape. The CEA is looking forward to working with him as we will continue to have a long term interest in the EU regulatory regime”.
Industrial Strategy Likely to Gain Impetus Earlier this year, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) published a Green Paper, Building our Industrial Strategy. The consultation paper mapped out 10 “pillars” deemed crucial in delivering a stronger economy. In the CEA’s submission, the need to facilitate sustained investment in the physical infrastructure was
underlined, as was meeting the challenge of providing the skilled workforce needed to prosper. Whilst the development of the strategy has had to take a back seat with the calling of the General Election, it is probable that the themes set out in the Green Paper will be followed through during the five years of the new parliament.
The 10 pillars… 1. Investing in science, research and innovation. 2. Developing skills. 3. Upgrading infrastructure. 4. Supporting businesses to start and grow. 5. Improving procurement. 6. Encouraging trade and inward investment. 7. Delivering affordable energy and clean growth. 8. Cultivating world-leading sectors. 9. Driving growth across the whole country. 10. Creating the right institutions to bring together sectors and places.

Germany on the Rise In 2016, German manufacturers of construction equipment achieved a turnover of 9.3 billion euros which is an increase of 3 percent compared to 2015. Within the same period world sales of construction equipment declined by 1 percent. German companies anticipate another 3 percent increase in sales during 2017. In 2016, German companies benefited from their strong position in the European and especially on the German market. After a strong 2015, the domestic market grew by another 20 percent and achieved a level almost as high as in the record year of 2007 with sales of the German industry on the domestic market amounting to 3 billion Euros. “In view of this high level, a further growth seems hardly possible, even if our customers continue to make good business in Germany,” says Johann Sailer, chairman of the Construction Equipment and Building Material Machinery Industry Association of the German Engineering Federation, VDMA. Compared to the previous year, the European market rose by 8 percent. Next to Germany, France was the second growth driver. Declines were recorded only in the United Kingdom and in Central Eastern Europe. Northern and Western Europe are supposed to remain stable markets also in 2017. The industry also expects Southern Europe to modestly recover even further. Sales figures of construction equipment in Europe will not see any significant changes in 2017 while the North American market promises stability. As forecasted, in 2016, the industry saw a slight double-digit sales decline in Northern America compared to the previous year. Companies expect the market to become more stable this year. Infrastructure programmes and investments announced by the US administration are expected to stimulate the demand in the
construction industry as a whole. No market improvements can be reported for Latin America. On the average, markets in the region were dragged down by the weakness of the Brazilian construction industry.
Strong plus in India Asia is showing good impulses. After four years of decline, China has seen another return to growth in 2016. The Indian construction equipment market increased by 30 percent, powered by strong investments in road construction. Also in 2017, this sector will keep growing. Experts of the industry estimate South East Asia to show positive signs, especially in Indonesia and Myanmar. In the Middle East a substantial turnaround is however not expected. With the elections coming up in the Netherlands, France and in Germany important political decisions are about. The exportoriented construction equipment industry relies on a politically and economically integrated Europe as their backbone of economic success, of good jobs and people’s welfare in general. “We will only keep growing in the future if we further strive for international solutions and co-operations. In a highly specialised sector like ours, where special machines are not available in every region of the world, open markets are highly essential. We all depend on free trade and good economic sense. This applies for Europe and the United States alike,” Sailer concludes. ■

CITS/Plant Theft ConstructionWorX
CanTrack go 'Dutch' This story starts with a CanTrack client, a leading plant-hirer, reporting a stolen Thwaites 1 tonne site-dumper. The machine, fitted with a CanTrack Asset, was stolen in Hammersmith, West London. PANIU, the Met Police’s specialist plant theft unit, has recently reported a 7.8 percent increase in thefts, year on year, and an upward trend in the theft of ‘compact-equipment’ which will fit in the back of a panel van. This latest theft fitted these trends, most likely carried out by ‘professional’ thieves. Unusually the asset - hidden in the Thwaites dumper - failed to report its location for several days after it was stolen. However, it suddenly popped up on CanTrack’s screens giving an equally unusual location in the middle of the English Channel. It’s extremely rare for a stolen item to leave the UK before CanTrack’s investigations team get their hands on it and when one does, the operation to recover it becomes more complex. Logistically CanTrack must co-ordinate the tracking, their own people on the ground and both international and regional police forces. The new CanTrack Asset has a wide range of technology built-in, with redundancy in case one is unable to work. However, in this case the full suite of sensors was available and CanTrack’s operations room was receiving regular, GPS position, updates. After landing on the continent in Dunkirk, the truck headed East through France at a constant 56 mph, and onwards into Belgium. This is a route that CanTrack’s team has seen before used previously by thieves. CanTrack put one of its experienced investigators on ‘red-alert’ with the plan of flying him to a yet to be determined ‘intercept point’ on the continent. CanTrack monitored the HGV with the stolen Thwaites on board as it circumnavigated Antwerp and headed East for the Netherlands and towards Germany. The route makes it hard to decide on a viable intercept point as the stolen cargo can make good progress, and there

is no way of knowing, in advance, when and where the truck is likely to stop. As members of the International Association of Auto Theft Investigators (IAATI) CanTrack has well established relationships with INTERPOL and national police forces. Whilst still monitoring the truck’s progress CanTrack contacted the Dutch police in Eindhoven to inform them of the situation. The Dutch Police Force is well regarded and always keen to assist in vehicle crime and this was no exception. Fortunately, at this juncture the investigators got a bit of luck as
the CanTrack Asset’s GPS stream showed that the truck had pulled into services near Eindhoven and registered a stop. CanTrack relayed this information to the Eindhoven Police who dispatched two police cars to the services. CanTrack’s team in the UK entered into a two-way running commentary with the Eindhoven police control room in what would turn out to be a 90-minute cat and mouse game. In the UK CanTrack’s team saw that the unit was again on the move passing the petrol station forecourt. “Please tell your colleagues the vehicle has just moved past them in the forecourt,” was an urgent messaged relayed to the Dutch control room. Unlike CanTrack’s live fleet tracking unit, GPS,
the CanTrack Asset is not designed to work as a live feed. The data shows the correct time and position but it comes through up to a minute later and CanTrack needed to give the local police cars an accurate picture of the truck’s location in real-time. Using mapping tools and the constant speed of the HGV CanTrack’s team calculated, with increasing accuracy, where the truck was on the road with every update. CanTrack had also remotely triggered the unit to update more frequently. Feeling confident CanTrack told the police that “He’s passing under the junction now” knowing full well that confidence would be lost if the ever helpful, but no doubt increasingly frustrated police, didn’t get him an hour after the job started. Using the information, the police stopped an HGV, and after an agonising four-minute wait, the asset updated its location showing it was still moving. The police had stopped the wrong truck. CanTrack’s operations room pulled up live traffic information and using the GPS information homed in on another truck. After relaying the information to Eindhoven, the control room reported back that “We’ve made a stop, stand by for an update”. The next GPS update showed the suspect truck in a lay-by and stationary. “We got it,” reported the Eindhoven control room to an ecstatic CanTrack team. CanTrack’s investigator never got beyond ‘red-alert’ as the technology and excellent co-operation from the Dutch Police enabled CanTrack to ‘get their man’ and the client’s machine back. The Dutch Police are very efficient at repatriating stolen equipment and CanTrack’s client will soon be re-united with his stolen machine after a ‘real-time’ chase across Europe that ended in success. ■

Elementary, My Dear Datatag When the Police find a machine they believe to be stolen but which has been completely stripped of any identifying marks there’s only one person they turn to: Datatag’s resident Sherlock Holmes, Nick Mayell. Mayell has decades of experience sniffing out the truth when it comes to plant and machinery; which is handy for the Police as he also manages Datatag’s Accredited Police Training Courses ensuring at least some of his encyclopaedic knowledge is passed on to the serving officers. The particular suspect JCB dumper he had been called out to help identify bore all the hallmarks of a stolen vehicle. The theft indicators Mayell highlights Police to look out for on his Plant Identification Course were all there including a smashed beacon, missing company branding and most telling the missing CESAR identification labels. To top off his suspicions about this particular machine it only had 88 hours on the clock.
On closer inspection what he found was a seriously thorough job by the criminals in trying to remove all trace of an identity. Chassis, engine, pump, gearbox and axle numbers were all either defaced or completely ground out or missing altogether. “It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a machine quite so thoroughly ‘erased’ as this one,” he says. “It’s usually the bigger machines which get this amount of attention by the gangs.” However hard the thieves had tried to hide its identity they didn’t bank on one small but vital fact – that being that the machine had been fitted with Datatag’s unique layered security marking
technologies found within the CESAR Scheme. These provide an indelible identification which time and time again prove to be the downfall of criminals who find it impossible to locate and remove them all. It ultimately took Mayell less than five minutes to determine the machines true identity – considerably less than the thieves spent trying to hide it. As a final check, he also scanned the machine to locate the RFID tags buried within its wiring and this just confirmed his prior identification. The Police have already contacted the owner who is very pleased to getting his machine back and the person found in possession of the dumper is now facing some tough questions. ■
Focus on Fraud Over the years, theft - whether it relates to construction, agriculture or associated industries - has been a constant battle ground between owners and thieves. Efforts made by the security products industry to safeguard plant and machinery has resulted in the development of new techniques and technologies; and through the relationships forged between Trade Associations, Major Contractors, CESAR, Insurers, Finance Houses and PANIU (the Police & Agriculture National Intelligence Unit) who sit on the CITS (Combined Industries Theft Solutions) Board, has helped to successfully reduce theft by 6.5 percent in the last year alone. However we can never be complacent, nor indeed are the thieves; who are applying new strategies. In recent months, we have noticed a surge in frauds perpetrated by individuals or gangs; whether this is:-
Aided by employees within the victim’s organisation; or, individuals who present fake documentation; or, IT infiltration into the victim’s organisation with the intention to transfer monies into fake accounts. The methods are varied from simplistic to complex; yet the weakest link can in fact be the individuals who work for you. To help highlight this threat and methods to prevent this from happening to you, CITS is holding as conference on the 24th November at the Royal Bank of Scotland Building at Bishopsgate in London.

A View from the Front Line Even by the glacially-slow speed of government planning, 2017 has proved to be an incredibly frustrating year for the CEA. We have been trying to obtain answers from the Department for International Trade (DIT) to our requests for support for exhibitions, trade missions and other export promotion events since last autumn. We are now almost two months into the new financial year, yet still have no news on budgets to run any events with DIT funding. The general election in June will only serve to delay matters. I’ve been in the role of the CEA’s director of global programmes for over 22 years, and I have never known such inactivity and uncertainty in the government’s export promotion plans. Given that the government have a stated aim of doubling exports by 2020 to £1 trillion, leaving exporters in the dark about possible support seems a very strange way of setting about achieving it. Other countries, especially our competitors in Germany, Spain and Italy manage to set a programme of export support up to two years in advance. The UK can’t even
manage more than a few months. The CEA has bid for grant funding for exhibitors at Excon (12-16 December 2017, Bangalore, India) and Bauma Conexpo Africa (13-16 March 2018, Johannesburg) but we will not know until the summer at the earliest if we have been successful. This is an untenable way of running an export led economy. The CEA has been lobbying the Secretary of State for the DIT on members’ behalf. I have met with Thirsk and Malton MP, Kevin Hollinrake, on several occasions to discuss the lack of support from the DIT. Having a business background, Kevin is enthusiastically supporting the CEA’s requests for export support on behalf of its members. Kevin is having an on-going dialogue with the Secretary of State, the Rt Hon Dr Liam Fox MP, and other DIT ministers. A ministerial meeting has been promised, but the general election will no doubt provide a convenient get out clause and we will be faced with a set of new ministers after 8 June. If you can lobby your own candidates in the forthcoming general election, please tell
them this. That to take our place on the global trade stage post Brexit, the UK needs to have a meaningful and supportive international trade and export promotion policy; helping both individual exhibitors and the trade associations who deliver the programme.

Conexpo-Con/Agg, the largest exhibition in the Western Hemisphere, closed its doors on March 11th having seen 2,800 exhibitors occupying over 2,500,000 square feet of space. The CEA again ran the UK Pavilion, having a great location in Central Hall 2. Set between two main aisles and close to the exit to the Silver Lot, the UK Pavilion saw excellent visitor footfall. 16 UK companies exhibited as part of the UK Pavilion which was co-located with the Invest Northern Ireland stand. UK Pavilion exhibitors expressed a high level of satisfaction with the UK Pavilion – with many actually taking orders at the show. The CEA was able to deliver the UK Pavilion thanks to support from
both BEIS and the Department for International Trade in Chicago. We are especially grateful to Alan Woods at BEIS and Josh Williams at DIT in Chicago for working hard to ensure we had the funding to mount a high profile pavilion and compete with our global competitors. Three DIT trade officers visited the show and offered their support to the UK exhibitors. One of the highlights of the week was the CEA UK Networking event in the shape of a gin tasting evening! Around 100 guests, many with a newly discovered interest in gin, made valuable new contacts during the evening. ■

CEA SECURES OVER £350M OF FUNDING FOR ITS MEMBERS NO PERSONAL GUARANTEES OR SECURITY NEEDED URICA Supply Chain Funding offers you: ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● ●●
Cash: free of debt and risk Extended credit: up to 120 days 3% cash back per annum: to buyers paying suppliers over URICA A way to minimise risk: that suppliers will fail through slow payment putting your business at risk Free to join with no long term contract International expansion: a risk-free way to export in over 50 countries Zero FX risk: at no extra cost
In what way simpler? You upload your invoices into our platform, and once your customer has approved them URICA will pay you cash - and we mean cash – we cannot ask for the money back at a later date. You agree with your customer when you want to be paid and when your customer wants to repay URICA.
And in what way improved? We never require security or personal guarantees and you are free to stop using URICA at any time without penalty. You can offer your customer up to 120 days of credit. We also understand that your customers might need to be given a financial reason to change.

Sounds a bit like invoice discounting or factoring? It is actually a fundamentally different product. We completely rely on the financial strength of your customer to pay us back. We can quickly let you know if they meet our criteria. We buy and insure your invoices – not lend against them. This is why we have no interest in asking you for personal guarantees or security or looking to control your business in any way. In fact, we take away all your risk of non-payment.
What does it cost? There is an early payment discount charged only once you receive early payment. It is calculated on the difference between when we pay you and when your customer repays URICA. There are no other fees or hidden charges. We charge roughly half the standard accepted rate for early payment. Please find how much you will receive here: urica.com/discount-calculator
Anything else I should know? We can also work with your financially strong customers overseas so you can get paid early for your exports too. Both your overseas and domestic customers can get 3% p.a. off their purchases and have up 120 days to repay us.
Sounds a bit too good to be true. What are the catches? Your customers don’t have to be big businesses, but they do have to be creditworthy and trading for more than two years. It is important to understand that all invoices raised to your selected customer will need to be invoiced over the URICA platform to avoid confusion with bank details. However, you can choose which invoices you would like to be paid early and URICA will charge only for them.

Peak Levels Maintained Sentiment in the UK construction equipment market has been improving since the closing months of 2016. This was evident in February this year at the Exec Hire Show at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, where many companies across the construction equipment supply chain shared their optimism on the current market situation. Following this event, the CEA conducted a “snapshot survey” amongst its membership in late February/early March, which also provided encouraging views on market prospects. This included a question about sales expectations in the UK market in 2017 (see question 5 below). In response to this, 62.5 percent forecast an increase in sales, and 25 percent expected no change. Underlining this positive outlook, 25 percent of companies anticipated an increase in sales of more than 10 percent this year.

Construction Purchasing Managers’ Index Figure above indicates an increase in activity.5: Source: Markit/CIPS CEA50survey question Compared with 2016 (or your latest completed financial year), what is your forecast change in sales for 2017 for the UK market?
52 50 48 46 44 Mar 16
The European Construction Equipment trade association, CECE, conduct a monthly survey amongst members across Europe (“CECE Barometer”). Results from the March survey included a positive outlook for the UK market, with 71 percent of respondents indicating that they expect sales in the UK to increase by between 3 and 10 percent. A further 14 percent expected sales to remain flat. Off-Highway Research published their latest findings for the UK equipment market in April. This shows that sales in 2016 declined Apr Jun compared Jul Aug Sep Nov Decearlier Jan in FebtheMar by sixMay percent, withOct the forecast year of a 10 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 17 17 17 percent reduction. To put this into context, equipment sales in each constructionnews.co.uk of the last three years from 2014 to 2016 have exceeded 30,000 units p.a. (excluding site dumpers and road rollers), which are the highest annual levels since 2007, before the financial crisis hit the UK economy. So it is fair to say, that since the market crash, demand for equipment is remaining at peak levels.
The better than expected outturn for equipment sales in 2016 was partly due to a resurgence in the rental industry in the closing months of the year. This upgrading of fleets by plant hire companies was a result of renewed confidence in the market following publication of Government plans for infrastructure developments, and approval for the HS2 high speed rail link. Improved market demand for equipment has continued into the early months of 2017, and Off-Highway’s forecast for 2017 and 2018 is that equipment sales in the UK will grow by 3 percent p.a., and continue the “plateau” of high demand seen since 2014.
The Construction Market At the end of the first quarter some key indicators for the UK construction market are showing some encouraging signs. The Glenigan index for new project starts showed a significant pick up in March, and lifted the overall level of starts in the first quarter to 2% above the first quarter of 2016. Both housing and the non-residential sectors remain the strongest. Civil engineering projects also showed an improvement in March, but remains the weakest segment of the market. The Markit/CIPS PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) for the construction industry was relatively stable in the first quarter of 2017, and then showed some solid growth in April. This saw the index reach 53.1 in April, compared with 52.2 a month earlier, and remains well above the 50 “no change” level. The improvement in April was due mainly to growth in infrastructure and housing developments. Overall, activity in the UK construction market has recovered well from the “crash” in the middle of 2016, and is forecast to continue showing modest growth. ■

ConstructionWorX Skills & Training
The Time Has Come Now is the time for you to utilise the apprenticeship levy to its full potential, says Philip Burgess of the Construction Equipment Association’s Skills Advisory Panel. So, the much anticipated apprenticeship levy is now with us. It’s the government’s big initiative to fund three million places for apprentices by 2020, paid for by bigger businesses. It will give employers more control over designing, choosing and paying for apprenticeship training with the funding being used by employers to train existing staff or to recruit new apprentices, and for qualifications right up to degree level. The main purpose of the levy is to increase the quantity and quality of apprenticeships and encourage large employers to use apprenticeships as the key training method for the future. The thinking is that new and improved apprenticeships will derive from putting employers at the centre of the system whereby employers committed to the training should be able to get back more than they put in by training a sufficient number of apprentices. But despite this major change it seems that too many businesses are still unaware of the apprenticeship levy as, according to a recent survey by City & Guilds, as many as a third of businesses in England are either unaware or confused about it. Five hundred business leaders took part in the research which found that nearly a quarter surveyed were unaware of the changes to the system and almost a third did not know if they were required to contribute towards the levy. The levy is big business and is expected to raise up to £3 billion a year by 2019/20, with the government estimating that £2.5 billion of this will be spent in England alone. So it really is time for businesses to be thinking seriously about the levy and how it can help them with their training needs. This is how the levy will work. Employers that pay the levy (those with a pay bill of over £3 million from April 2017) will use an apprenticeship service account to manage their levy allocation, which will include a 10 percent ‘top-up’ from the government. If they use up all of their levy allocation, they will be expected to pay a 10 percent contribution
towards the funding rate they will have negotiated with a training provider (unless the training is being provided by themselves in-house), with the government paying the remaining 90 percent. Employers that don’t pay the levy (those with a wage bill less than £3 million) will not be using the apprenticeship service account immediately, and will rely on finding a training provider with a funding allocation. The employer would then be required to pay a 10 percent contribution towards the funding rate they have negotiated with a provider - again, the government would pay the remaining 90 percent. If the nonlevied employer is taking on 16-18 year old apprentices in a business with fewer than 50 employees, this contribution would be waived.
Of course, all new apprenticeships being followed must be on the list of approved ‘Trailblazer’ standards that is now administered by the newly formed Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA), a statutory body responsible for ensuring the high quality of apprenticeships in England and maintaining quality criteria for approval of apprenticeship standards and assessment plans. According to IfA, over 200 Trailblazers involving more than 1,400 employers with 260 standards across a broad range of sectors have already been published and more than 200 more standards are currently in development. We have reported previously in Construction WorX on the Landbased Engineering (LBE) Trailblazer standards that are already on the approved list following our developmental work in partnership with the agricultural sector. The level 2 LBE apprenticeship for ‘service engineers’ and the level 3 for ‘service engineering technicians’ will

give manufacturers, dealers, distributors and owners of construction plant access to the right level of foundation knowledge training that is essential for their employees, and their launch will be communicated widely to CEA members this summer. The LBE Trailblazer standards are available on the Gov.uk website and can be readily accessed via the CEA Skills Portal at cea.org. uk/skills as can the government’s updated guidance on changes to apprenticeships funding and the detailed workings of the apprenticeship levy. All employers now have access to a new, easy to use digital apprenticeship service to help them manage their apprenticeship programmes. The functions of this on-line service include: ●● Estimating where or not employers will be subject to the levy, and what funds they will have to spend on apprenticeships. It also shows how much the government will contribute towards the cost of training ●● Information on the choices available to employers with regard to finding apprenticeship training. Employers can search for and find an appropriate Trailblazer standard or framework, a quality-assured training provider, and compare one provider with another ●● Opportunities to recruit apprentices. Training providers can post online vacancies for apprenticeships and traineeships on behalf of employers. ■

Your Shout ConstructionWorX
Plantworx to Tackle Skills Shortage Earthmovers Magazine editor Graham Black looks forward to the show and urges business owners to take full advantage of the opportunities available.

106 SPRING 2017
he UK’s employment rate is just shy of 75 percent, far greater than the vast majority of European countries and on par with the likes of Japan and New Zealand. Coupled with the uncertainty over the future status of foreign workers employed within the construction industry the skills shortage is no longer a tactical issue, but has strategic implications for all of our futures. From training junior staff in plant hire firms to providing the tools to allow experienced excavator operators to be far more productive, the way forward is to embrace innovative new technologies. This will drive an increase in productivity that will go a long way to minimise the impact of a shortage of staff. At the same time this will reduce operating costs, speed up the progress of a project and put very large ticks in the safety and environmental boxes of bid documentation. It was fascinating to be involved in the judging process of the Plantworx Innovation awards. Diggers may well have been my specialist subject, but the cost, security, time and efficiency implications of the latest developments in the wider construction industry was truly eye-opening. From smart welfare cabins to attachments for cranes, the exhibitors at the Plantworx 2017 show are launching a wider range of new products and services than I can recall in over 20 years involvement in the business. Away from the innovation award winners and the global trends within the industry, there are many UKspecific subjects that will be directly addressed at the show. One of these will be mass excavating and hauling solutions ideally suited to the forthcoming HS2 project. However, at the top of my list of things to do is to further investigate the other end of the industry, namely the long-awaited focus on improving the safety of forwardtipping site dumpers. On the face of it, this is a subject for those managers directly responsible for plant and safety. However, I suggest otherwise. This is such a key issue for both plant hire firms and contractors that accountants should be directly involved in such discussions. The additional investment cost will be viewed as eye-wateringly expensive, but the alternatives are even worse and the cost of doing nothing will be disastrous. One other theme of this year’s show will be
the merging of two cutting-edge muck-shifting technologies; tilt-rotators and GPS machine control and guidance systems. To be frank, I’m supposed to be a subject matter expert on such issues, but some of the recent developments in integrating these two technologies are beyond my comprehension at the moment. Not necessarily from a technical point of view, but I struggle to fully understand what opportunities such developments will present on site. I’m hoping to collar a tame surveyor to explain exactly how muck-shifting firms can make more money by expanding their service to include the design of earthworks, then feeding this data directly to the dozer or excavator on site. I’m also hoping that a few of my more experienced readers will take time out of their day to talk through such technological developments from an operator’s point of view, which will make their job far easier without the use of groundworkers. I say these words not from a sense of false modesty, but realising that it is only those that have an intimate knowledge of a small slice of the lifecycle of a site that can provide a worthwhile insight into the real-world benefits available from such innovations. No matter how busy you are, I urge business owners not to look at this show as a jolly day out – but as a business opportunity whereby a wide variety of their staff can investigate innovations that will make money for the firm in the future. ■
