HCEA Announces Two Firms Join as Corporate MembersThe Historical Construction Equipment
Association (HCEA), a 501(c)3 non-profitorganization dedicated to preserving the his-tory of the construction, dredging and sur-face mining equipment industries,announced that Taylor Machine Works andVolvo Construction Equipment have joinedthe HCEA as corporate members. Taylor Machine Works Inc., located in
Louisville, Miss., is possibly the only pri-vately held industrial lift truckmanufacturer operating inAmerica today. Founded by W.A. Taylor Sr. in 1927 as a smallfamily-owned automotive andrepair business, Taylor is nowunder the leadership of the thirdgeneration of the Taylor family,and its “Big Red” forklifts havemade an impressive impact inthe materials handling equip-ment industry worldwide. TheAmerican Heritage “Big Red”Fire Museum also is inLouisville; founded in 1989 byW. A. Taylor Jr., it houses morethan 100 vehicles and exhibits asold as the late 1700s.
Volvo Construction Equipment is oneof the world’s oldest industrial firmsengaged in construction equipment man-ufacturing, tracing its roots to a machineshop founded in Eskilstuna, Sweden, byJohan Thefron Munktell in 1832. Today,it has plants in Sweden, Germany,France, Poland, the United States,Mexico, Brazil, Korea, China and India,and its products and services are offered
in more than 125 countries through pro-prietary or independent dealerships.Volvo also has acquired a number ofother historic firms, including theMichigan product line from Clark,Champion motorgraders, Akkermanexcavators, Blaw-Knox pavingmachines and Samsung excavators. The National Construction
Equipment Museum, operatedby the HCEA in Bowling Green,Ohio, has two Michigan wheelloaders including the first oneproduced, and an MRS150AGT wheel tractor in its col-lection, and its Archives housesubstantial collections of recordsfrom both companies. VolvoConstruction Equipment donat-ed one of the loaders and a size-able volume of archival recordsdirectly to the HCEA. Corporate members designate
up to five of their officers andemployees to receive theHCEA’s quarterly magazine,Equipment Echoes, and VIPpasses to its annual InternationalConvention and Old Equipment
Exposition, to be held at its Bowling Green,Ohio, headquarters Sept. 14 through 16,2012. They also receive links on the HCEA’sWeb site at www.hcea.net and are publicizedin Equipment Echoes and in press releases totrade publications and Web sites.For more information, call 419/352-5616
or visit www.hcea.net.
The National Construction Equipment Museumalso owns this circa 1950 M. R. S. 150AGT wheeltractor.
The first Michigan wheel loader, this model 75A, wasdonated to the National Construction EquipmentMuseum in the late 1990s.

local Case dealer, the rodeo also proved to be a big draw for CaseEquipment Company. Along with many local contractors, equipmentoperators from around the country stopped by to compete in theevent. Case’s Triple Threat Rodeo consists of three events, which use the
Case N Series loader/backhoe, the F Series wheel loader and theAlpha Series skid steer:• Backhoe Bronc Buster — the backhoe is used in a series of obsta-
cles, which includes the use of soccer and tennis balls. • Wheel Loader Roundup — contestants use a wheel loader to pick
up various transport bars off their bases and carry/move to other areasacross the event space. • Skid Steer Showdown — a bar is attached to the bucket and the
contestant must carry two soccer balls (and one floating soccer ballinside of bucket) while maneuvering around cones and through F-assemblies to the final destination, without dropping the soccer balls.The winner for the Bale Equipment Solutions’ event was Rick
Greeno of Kenosha, Wis.Case Dealers from around the United States and Canada have been
holding Case Triple Threat Rodeo competitions in search of the mosthighly skilled equipment operators to compete in the North AmericanChampionship. The Championship is scheduled to be held at theWorld of Concrete in Las Vegas in January 2012.Winning competitors from each local event are awarded a trip for
two to Las Vegas, $500 and a commemorative Triple Threat Rodeobelt buckle. At each Case Triple Threat Rodeo event, money also is being
raised for Habitat for Humanity. Bale Equipment Solutions eventraised $500 to contribute to the charity. Bale Equipment Solutions, established in 2004 as Bale Equipment

Detroit-Windsor BridgeFuture Again in Doubt
Snyder said a cooling off period wouldallow time to talk to lawmakers about “anymiscommunication or misinterpretation thatmight have taken place over the last coupledays.”
The Snyder administration has hinted itmight act unilaterally to try and getMichigan involved in the project if theLegislature doesn’t cooperate. But the focusnow remains on the Legislature.
Snyder said the New International TradeCrossing is crucial to expanding tradebetween the United States and Canada.Many businesses, including automakers,also covet a new bridge with more conven-ient highway connections.
But the private owners of the AmbassadorBridge already spanning the Detroit Riveroppose a second bridge, say-ing a publicly supportedbridge would unfairly com-pete with their own. The newbridge would be built 2 mi.south of the Ambassador,which has proposed expand-ing its own capacity.
Some Republican law-makers side withAmbassador Bridge ownerManuel “Matty” Morounand have balked at backingthe separate bridge, makingit hard for Snyder to securethe votes needed to begin theproject.
Snyder said Michigan tax-payers wouldn’t be on thehook for the new bridge,which would be privatelyfinanced, built and run. Hesaid the bill is drafted tomake sure taxpayers are protected.
The Ambassador Bridge owners and theirsupporters are skeptical of that claim.Ambassador Bridge owners have lobbiedheavily and run television commercials crit-icizing the bridge proposal.
Canadian officials are so confident theNew International Trade Crossing will bebuilt that construction has begun on a roadthat would link to it. Canada has pledged tocover Michigan’s $550 million share to builda plaza on the U.S. side of the bridge, even-tually recouping the money from tolls.
The estimated price of a new bridge, tolland customs plazas, and expressway linkupsis nearly $4 billion.
Many Republicans have questions abouttraffic projection and use of Canadianmoney in the project. Others, including Sen.
Mike Kowall of Oakland County’s WhiteLake Township, say presidential or federalpermits should be in place before Michiganproceeds.
“I don’t think there’s been enough back-ground work done yet,” said Kowall, chair-man of the Senate’s Economic DevelopmentCommittee.
Kowall was joined by Republicans GoeffHansen of Hart and Mike Nofs of BattleCreek in voting against the bill. JudyEmmons of Sheridan and Dave Hildenbrandof Lowell voted in favor of the committeelegislation.
Senate Democrats said Republicans brokean agreement to include some protections forresidents and businesses in Detroit’s Delraycommunity where the bridge would be builton the U.S. side. Democrats want agree-
ments to deal with noise, health and otherconcerns related to the bridge construction.
Republicans defeated a proposed substi-tute bill that would have included those so-called community benefits provisions. Withthose eliminated, Democrats Tupac Hunterand Virgil Smith of Detroit abstained fromvoting on the committee’s final version ofthe legislation.
“The plan calls for Delray to be torn apartby the new bridge,” Smith said. “I could notas an elected official allow that to happenwithout making sure there were communityprotections in place. With the communityprotection agreement not being added to thebill, I could not support it.”
Snyder said he is supportive of communi-ty benefits.
“The plan calls for Delray to be torn apart by the newbridge. I could not as anelected official allow that tohappen without making surethere were community protections in place.”

FlangeLock Contamination Control Tool Receives PatentFlangeLock LLC, founded and based in Greenwich,
Conn., received a patent from the U.S. Patent Office withinthe past two months for its contamination control tool, theFlangeLock.The FlangeLock tool is an easy-to-use cap that slides onto
the fitting and is sealed with one turn of the bottom plug,keeping oil in and contaminants out. It is produced in sizes for 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 32 in
codes 61, 62 and KAT-style hydraulic flanges.The FlangeLock is manufactured in Connecticut with
lightweight anondized aluminum. The FlangeLock is color-coded for easy-to-identify sizes.“The FlangeLock represents major savings in a number of
areas,” Mike Pearl, part owner of FlangeLock LLC, said. “Itwill save time because there won’t be any oil leaking andhaving to be cleaned up. It will save moneybecause again, with no leaks, no oil is wast-ed. And a really big savings will be with EPAcleanups. The EPA is looking at a lot ofequipment right now and a lot of companiesare being temporarily shut down in order toget things cleaned up. The FlangeLock willcut way down on that lost time and money.”Equipment owners seeking to stop oil
leaks are not the only ones who benefit fromthe FlangeLock. Pearl foresees the factorieswhere the equipment is manufactured beingable to use the FlangeLock during the assem-bly process to keep contaminants from enter-ing the lines and, if a customer desires, sell-
ing them on the equipment. As well, “hoses get cleaned and
capped when you buy them,” Pearl said,“but there’s nothing to keep the caps on.A customer buys some hoses, tossesthem into the back of a truck, the capscome off and those new hoses arealready contaminated. The contaminantsget into the machine, and there’s a prob-lem. We have the solution.” Since the FlangeLock’s inception in
2009, the company’s dealership networkhas substantially grown. Initially theproduct was distributed only throughwww.flangelock.com and HO Penn,
headquartered in Poughkeepsie,N.Y. Today, the FlangeLock canbe found across the United Statesand Canada through such dealersas Cleveland Brothers, based inHarrisburg, Pa.; Edward EhrbarInc., Yonkers, N.Y.; SunSource,with many branches throughoutthe United States; GenesisAttachments; JewellAttachments; Finning CAT ofCanada; HosePower USA, withbranches across the UnitedStates; Dakota Fluid Power, withbranches in the Dakotas andNebraska; Progressive
Hydraulics, with branches in New Jerseyand New York State; and many more.And with the FlangeLock’s ever-growing
distributorship, Pearl said he’s hoping toapproach selling 10,000 pieces sold by theend of 2011, as well as continuing to expandwith additional distributorships.For more information call Mike Pearl at
914/980-8890, or visit flangelock.com.(This story also can be found on
Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site atwww.constructionequipmentguide.com.)CEGThe FlangeLock is manufactured in Connecticut with lightweight anondized
aluminum.
The FlangeLock tool is an easy-to-usecap that slides onto the fitting and issealed with one turn of the bottom plug,keeping oil in and contaminants out.

Boss Snowplow Champions ProjectGives Free Snow Removal ServicesFollowing a successful launch last year, The Boss snowplow is underwriting
a second year of Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for Troops program and urg-ing snow removal professionals to join the movement and double the volunteerbase in year two. SnowCare for Troops provides free snow removal servicesfor military families with a spouse or family member serving in the armedforces through a dedicated volunteer network.“The response to SnowCare for Troops from caring professionals and mili-
tary families has been tremendous and we are challenging our supporters todouble the participation for the 2011-12 snow season,” said Mark Klossner,marketing manager of The Boss snowplow. “We want to thank everyone whogave countless hours in heavy snow, sleet and ice to back up our country’s self-less military families this past winter. As the brand that backs up snow removalprofessionals, we’re asking for their help to spread the word and expand par-ticipation this year. We know they’ll get back tenfold what they put into it.”Snow removal professionals and other volunteers have many ways to sup-
port the SnowCare for Troops program, including:• Offering free snow removal services throughout the winter to one or two
families in their service area;• Loaning snow removal equipment to volunteers or groups; • Donating money, transportation or gas cards to offset snow removal and
maintenance costs; and• Referring friends and/or military families they may know to sign up for the
program.The Boss underwrites the SnowCare for Troops program. It’s open to any-
one with a plow or other snow removal equipment who wants to lend a hand.Through its active backing and participation, Boss provides funding support
and helps build awareness for SnowCarefor Troops to encourage grassroots involve-ment. “SnowCare for Troops got off to a roar-
ing start, and we want to thank Boss snow-plow for backing up military families onceagain through its integral support,” saidProject EverGreen Executive DirectorCindy Code. “When a loved one is servingoverseas in the armed forces, having theadded burden of snow removal liftedfrom the shoulders of the one left behindis a priceless gift.”Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for
Troops and its sister program GreenCarefor Troops are serving thousands of mili-tary families through a coast-to-coast net-work of lawn care, landscape and snowcare professionals and volunteers dedicat-ing thousands of service hours to militaryfamilies. Project EverGreen has 12,000 mil-itary families in its database, more than 3,500green industry participants and nearly 1,000 snow careprofessionals and volunteers.

Construction Materials PricesFlatten as Activity Begins to Slowsince September 2010; copper and brassmills shapes, down 0.7 percent in Septemberbut up 14.8 percent over 12 months; steelmill products, which slipped 0.6 percent forthe month but rose 13.5 percent for the year;and aluminum mill shapes, down 1.8 percentfor the month but up 10.4 percent from ayear earlier.
“These prices can spike anytime there is aglobal supply disruption or a consensus thatdemand is strengthening worldwide, not justfrom U.S. construction,” Simonsonexplained. “In contrast, materials producedhere and used only by U.S. constructionhave shown little price movement.”
He cited, as examples, the producer priceindexes for concrete products, up 0.2 percentin September and 0.3 percent over 12months; lumber and plywood, down 1.3 per-cent for the month and 0.4 percent for theyear; and gypsum products such as wall-board, down 1.7 percent and 4.6 percent,respectively.
Simonson observed that the price indexfor new construction — what contractors
charge for construction projects — rose 2.2percent over 12 months for industrial build-ings, 2.6 percent for offices, 2.8 percent forwarehouses and 3.0 percent for schools.
“In light of the much steeper materialscost increases, these gains are not enough tokeep contractors solvent,” he warned.
Association officials said that in additionto the cost squeeze, the construction industrywas suffering from decreasing demand forpublic sector construction activity. They saidthat while state and local construction budg-ets will continue to contract for the foresee-able future, Washington could help offsetsome of the decline by enacting legislation tomake needed, long-term, investments inhighways, transit systems, clean water sys-tems, airports and runways.
“Given the stagnant construction bidprices, taxpayers stand to benefit ifWashington acts quickly to enact new infra-structure investments,” said Stephen E.Sandherr. “Even if construction pricesrebound in the near future, it is still a lot lessexpensive to maintain infrastructure while itis operating than to fix it once it breaks.”

Customers, Deere Engineers TeamUp to Launch 755K Crawler LoaderBuilt from the ground up by customer collabo-
ration with Deere engineers, the new 755K crawlerloader features productivity enhancements and anew ITIV-certified diesel engine to help contrac-tors to get more work done with less noise andfewer emissions, according to the manufacturer.Capitalizing on the loader design, track systems
and comfortable cabs engineered for its dozers andK-Series loaders, the 755K is quiet, comfortableand easy to operate. Helping customers meet thelatest local emissions regulations and bid specifi-cations, it also has been updated with a John DeereITIV-certified engine.Dozens of customers worked closely with
Deere product development on the 755K. “Our customers spoke, and we listened,” said
Dan Drescher, crawler product marketing manag-er of John Deere Construction & Forestry.“The 755K incorporates several enhancements
that not only increase productivity, but respond toindividual operator preferences, such as the V-pat-tern or joystick transmission control option.There’s also a rear ripper design to help turn mate-rials, a viscous-mounted cab for noise suppression andincreased serviceability to make daily maintenance easier.”Many of the contractors that collaborated with Deere on
the 755K design also asked for a crawler loader built in the
United States. “General excavating and earthmoving contractors now
have a North American-built crawler loader tailored to theirneeds that can easily tackle a wide variety of regional terrainconditions,” Drescher said.The 755K crawler loader has powertrain and track system
technology designed for Deere’s new 850K crawler dozer.Together with an ITIV-certified engine, the crawler loaderreaches performance targets for hydraulic hp, lift capacity,drawbar pull and engine power boost.“With 190 hp, the 755K also has a higher maximum hinge
pin clearance than the competition, more dump clearanceand more static tipping load capacity,” said Drescher. “Thebottom-line result is greater productivity.”The 755K also features a number of cab improvements to
increase operator comfort. The viscous cab mountingreduces noise from vibration while double-laminated rearwindow glass and complete interior sound-dampening treat-ment significantly reduce noise levels.Other cab conveniences include a sealed switch module
with keyless start, security mode with auto shutdown and adiagnostic monitor that’s both easy to read and providesmachine condition information at a glance.“Not only is the 755K easy to operate, it’s also easy to
service,” Drescher said. “We find that the easier a unit is toservice on a daily basis, the more likely it is that the servicewill get done. That means more uptime, more productivityand more earning power for our customers.”Among several easy maintenance features on the 755K is
Deere’s NeverGrease pins in its loader bucket linkage, whicheliminate time-consuming, messy greasing.Service points also have been color-coded for easy identi-
fication, fluid sampling valves are now standard, and underthe iron, operators will find hinged belly pans and improvedaccess. Deere’s Quad-Cool system also features a tilt-outgrille and fan for simplified core cleanout, while separatehydrostatic and hydraulic reservoirs prevent the possibilityof oil cross-contamination.For more information, visit www.JohnDeere.com.

Komatsu’s D155AX-7 Increases Productivity, Fuel EfficiencyKomatsu America Corp.’s D155AX-7 crawler dozer is
powered by an EPA Tier IV Interim and EU Stage 3B emis-sion certified Komatsu engine. The powerful SAA6D140Eengine is rated at 354 net hp (264 kW). The highly efficient automatic transmission is matched
with the new engine to achieve productivity and maintainsthe same fuel economy as the model it replaces. Komatsu’snew crawler dozer has an operating weight of 87,100 lbs.(39,508 kg). In addition, the D155AX-7 builds on theSigmadozer blade that was introduced in 2006, but nowincorporates a new auto blade pitch function. The new dozer is equipped with the latest Komtrax tech-
nology, which sends machine operating information to asecure Web site utilizing wireless technology. Hour meter,location, cautions and maintenance alerts — to name a fewof its features — are relayed to the web application for analy-sis. The Komtrax fleet monitoring system increases machineavailability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows forremote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth ofother information to drive business efficiency and productiv-ity. Special features of the new crawler dozer include:• EPA Tier IV Interim and EU Stage 3B Emission
Certified EngineBuilt upon Tier III technology, the SAA6D140E engine
provides high horsepower while maintaining the same lowfuel consumption as the D155AX-6. The Komatsu Tier IVInterim engine platform uses an advanced electronic controlsystem to manage air flow rate, fuel injection, combustionparameters, and after treatment functions to optimize per-formance, reduce emissions, and provide advanced diagnos-tic capability.The D155AX-7 incorporates a much larger cooling pack-
age with dramatically improved airflow to keep the new TierIV Interim engine running cool in harsh working conditions.Komatsu also has developed a hydraulically actuated
Komatsu variable geometry turbocharger (KVGT) and anexhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve, resulting in betterprecision and air management as well as longer componentlife. The Komatsu diesel particulate filter(KDPF) has an integrated design that willnot interfere with daily operation but willkeep the operator aware of its status,according to the manufacturer.• Sigmadozer blade for pro-
ductivity The D155AX-7 is equipped
with a Sigmadozer blade, whichgives the machine a high bladecapacity of 12.3 cu. yds. (9.4cu m). Based on a new exca-vation theory, Sigmadozerimproves dozing per-formance and increasesproductivity over a con-ventional semi-U blade.The blade features afrontal design con-cept adopted fordigging and rollingmaterial at the center of theblade. The new blade increasessoil holding capacity. Digging resistance isreduced for a smoother flow of material so largeramounts of soil can be dozed with less power.
• Automatic transmission improves fuel economyThe D155AX-7 has an automatic gearshift transmission
and lock-up torque converter that reduces fuel consumptionand offers enhanced power train efficiency. The lockupmechanics of the torque converter automatically transfersengine power directly to the transmission, decreasing fuelconsumption by 10 percent. Because of the efficiency of theelectronically controlled engine and transmission, fuel con-sumption is decreased while machine power is maintained. Two gearshift modes — automatic and manual — can be
easily selected to fit the appropriate application: automaticfor general dozing and manual for dozing and ripping roughground. For maximum operating efficiency, the automaticgearshift transmission shifts to the optimal gear range basedon the working conditions and load placed. • Ergonomic joystick controls for ease of operation and
comfortKomatsu’s ergonomically designed palm command con-
trol system (PCCS) gives operators maximum control, offer-ing a relaxed posture and superb fine control to eliminateoperator fatigue. Thumb push buttons simplify transmissiongear shifting. The electronic blade and new ripper controljoystick offer excellent machine control. The ripper nowincorporates a new auto-return function to increaseoperator efficiency when ripping. Engine speedis controlled using an easy-to-operate elec-tronic throttle control dial, which eliminatesmaintenance oflinkage andjoints, accordingto the manufac-turer.
• Electronic control powertrain for smooth operationThe D155AX-7 uses an electronic control power train
system that improves operation and productivity. Powerfulturns under various work conditions are achieved with thehydrostatic steering system (HSS), which is driven by anindependent hydraulic pump and motor to transmit power toboth tracks without interruption. Counter-rotation is avail-able for minimum turning radius, providing maneuverabili-ty. When operating in adverse conditions such as unevenground, a K-bogie undercarriage system keeps the correctalignment between the rollers and links for a smoother rideas well as longer component life.• New cab designThe new crawler dozer’s comfortable working environ-
ment allows the operator to concentrate on the work at handfor increased productivity. A new standard air ride seat withheat has a 15 percent higher capacity. The large cab is inte-grated with ROPS (roll-over protection) for added side visi-bility. The dozer’s cab mounts reduce shocks and vibrationeven over adverse conditions and the interior cab decibel isa very low 75 dB for the quietest working environment. A new, high-resolution large color 7 in. LCD monitor in
the cab displays all machine information. This new genera-tion smart monitor displays the information in 25 differentlanguages providing exceptional global support. A rear viewmonitoring system is standard on the new model.For more information, visit www.komatsuamerica.com.

SECT IONPaving
Terex Bid-Well 4800 Paver Based on 50 Years’ ExperienceCapable of paving bridges, streets and highways, today’s
Terex Bid-Well 4800 paver from Terex Roadbuilding drawsfrom 50 years of concrete paving experience. The 4800 fea-tures a 48 in. (91.4 cm) truss and all-welded steel construc-tion to maximize frame strength and minimize weight. Theautomatic roller paver is capable of paving widths of morethan 170 ft. (51.8 m), optimizing machine flexibility to pavea wide variety of bridges. Powered by a 23 hp (17 kW) gas engine, the 4800’s
paving carriage performs four concrete deck finishing func-tions. Dual, double-flighted augers meter the concrete tomaintain a consistent head of material in front of the carriage.The 11.5 in. (29.2 cm) Rota-Vibe system uniformly consoli-dates the top 2.5 in. (6.3 cm) of concrete to facilitate sealingof difficult-to-finish designs. Dual, 5 ft. (1.5 m) long pavingrollers finish the concrete surface, while a trailing drag pansystem seals and textures the deck. Positioned on top of the frame, the operator’s console of
the Terex Bid-Well 4800 is designed for operator visibilityand provides easy access to machine and carriage move-ment. From the console, the operator controls machine trav-el speed, power up and down leg adjustment, manual shiftfor carriage reversing and carriage travel speed. Operatorsalso control a number of options without leaving the console,including power crown adjustment, internal concrete vibra-tion system, power leg widening and carriage/drag pan fog-ging system. The standard paver rides the rails on four machine travel
bogies, offering a 4 ft. (1.2 m) wheel base, and four heavy-duty, 6 in. (15.2 cm) tubular legs with hydraulicallyadjustable height. To increase paving versatility, the 4800provides up to 15 ft. (4.7 m) of leg travel to each side toaccommodate width changes on the fly. The Terex Bid-Well 4800 paver on display at World of
Concrete in Las Vegas, Nevada included a number of differ-ent options, designed to maximize paving versatility. The
available paving carriage/drag pan fogging system atomizesthe water to produce a true, light fog. This keeps the concretefrom drying too quickly to reduce cracking and produce astronger surface. When operating the paver in confined construction zones,
the optional swing leg design offers zero-clearance paving.These variable-position, offset legs attach to the paver’smain frame and provide an additional length of 2 ft. (0.61 m)for variable-width paving. The available pivoting leg option for the 4800 saves con-
tractors time and money when paving bridges with crossslopes of more than 8 percent. This optional feature pivotsthe leg to a true vertical position when paving supereleva-tions, decreasing the side forces on the rail system and reduc-ing the need for additional shoring. Also equipping themachine with available neoprene bogies provides better trac-tion when paving superelevations and grades. For more information, visit www.terex.com.

Power Pavers Unveils SF-1700 Compact Slip-Form Paver
Power Pavers has a new compact slip-form paver — thePower Paver SF-1700. “With the ability to pave up to 7.5 meters wide, the SF-
1700 was developed to react to the contractor demand fortwo-pass paving in many highway applications. Theresponse to the SF-1700 has been excellent and we are get-ting great reports from our customers who have put them towork,” said Fred Hite, general manager of Power Pavers Inc. “In fact, we placed machines in three countries within a
month of the machine’s introduction.” The frame of the SF-1700 is based on Power Paver’s cur-
rent leading machine, the SF-2700. By reducing the enginesize and main frame width Power Pavers was able to makethe SF-1700 a more compact, economical alternative to con-tractors desiring to pave highways in two passes. “In many developing countries, concrete supply is an
issue, so paving in two passes is more practical than onepass,” explained Hite. Standard equipment on the SF-1700
includes a 160 hp (119 kW) Cummins engine, spread augerand tamper bar, and 12 Wyco vibrators.Power Pavers Inc., a subsidiary of Power Curbers Inc.,
manufactures a full line of slip-form concrete equipment foruse in residential, highway and airport paving. Based inCedar Falls, Iowa, in addition to slip-form pavers, PowerPavers offers form pavers, placer/spreaders, and texture/curemachines to paving contractors. For more information, visit www.powerpavers.com.
By reducing the engine size and main frame width, the SF-1700 is a morecompact size than the SF-2700. The frame of the SF-1700 is based on Power Paver’s current leading machine, the SF-2700.
Dynapac C-Series Goesto Work on Smaller JobsThe Dynapac series of small tan-
dem rollers are designed primarilyfor small-scale compaction work,such as driveways, bicycle paths,small roads and small parkingareas.The CC800, CC900 and
CC1000 models offer an operatingweight of approximately 1.6 tons(1.4 t). The series of machinescome in drum widths of 31, 35 and39 in. (78.7, 89 and 99 cm). Themachines are fitted with a centrallifting eye that is designed to allowfast and simple loading for trans-portation. The folding ROPS isintended to keep the transportheight to a minimum and workingunder obstructions.Equipped with water-cooled,
three-cylinder Perkins 23.5 hp(17.5 kW) diesel engines, the smalltandem rollers offer standardpropulsion and vibration on bothdrums. A switch to turn off vibra-tion on the front drum is standard.
A rear drum shut-off can be addedas an additional option.The 50-gal. (189 L) water tank
and the Wutomatic Water Control(WAC) system is intended to max-imize periods of time betweenrefills. The WAC system used onthe CC800, CC900 and CC1000machines also is used on largerDynapac asphalt machines. Themachines are equipped with a newtype of self-draining sprinkler tubeand nozzles, which are intended tominimize the risk of ice plugs incold weather conditions, accordingto the manufacturer.A vibration-damped operator’s
stand and an ergonomically posi-tioned step are intended to makethe machines driver-friendly.Service intervals have been extend-ed and the machines are equippedwith a maintenance-free steeringhitch and steering cylinder. For more information, visit

This translates into higher oper-ating speeds, while still maintaining theindustry standard of 10 to 12 impacts perfoot. The higher operating speeds and high fre-
quency of the 300 Series allow contractors toget more compaction work completedbefore the asphalt cools and to achieveexcellent compaction quickly. This processincreases productivity and along withmachined drums and beveled drum edges,leaves a smooth, well compacted result.The SW300-1, SW320-1 and SW330-1
double drum rollers havedrum widths of 39, 47 and51 in. (99, 119 and 129.5cm) respectively and are ide-ally suited for smaller scalejobs like municipal roads,driveways, parking lots,sports courts and bicyclepaths.SAKAI’s TW320-1 and
TW330-1 rollers combineboth vibratory drum andpneumatic tires. These mod-els feature 47 and 51 in.vibratory drums respectivelyon the front end for fast com-paction; and the kneadingaction of pneumatic tires onthe rear for surface finishing.All five models feature a
hydrostatic drive on bothends of the machine. Thesedual drive systems ensure that materials willalways be pulled beneath the drums or tiresto ensure compaction, while avoiding shov-ing and checking of the mix. Also standardon all five models, is a powerful, yet fuel-efficient 35 hp (26 kW), Kubota D1703-M-ET01 water-cooled diesel engine that fullycomplies with the current U.S. emissionstandards.The 300 Series rollers custom designed
shock isolators reduces service and mainte-nance time on the roller by keeping vibrationmoving toward the material and away fromcritical components and the operator, reduc-ing fatigue. In addition to the shock isolationsystem, the vibrator bearing is designed withan oil bath lubrication system that minimizesmaintenance, according to the manufacturer.SAKAI’s bench seat system offers opera-
tor comfort as well as 360 degree visibilityand view of both drum edges. The opera-tor’s station is accessible from both sides of
the machine and controls are convenientlylocated and within reach of the operator forease of use.SAKAI holds high safety standards and
provides seatbelts and ROPS as standardfeatures on all rollers in North America. TheROPS also are foldable for ease of transportand storage of the rollers. In addition tothese safety features, SAKAI also providesmultiple braking systems that ensure opera-tor safety. A hydrostatic service brake islocated on the forward- reverse lever, a wetdisc, spring-applied, hydraulically-releasedparking brake is located on the instrumentpanel and there’s an emergency footbrake,which activates both brakes simultaneously.Serviceability is quick and easy on the
300 Series rollers. A fully opening enginehood allows for easy access to the engine,radiator and hydraulic components. Thehydraulic system has been designed withconveniently located pressure gauge portsfor easy access. SAKAI also has incorporated its water
spray system to the 300 Series rollers. Thissystem features long-lasting brass spray noz-zles that can be easily changed by hand, atriple filtration system to prevent debris fromclogging the system, emergency back-uppumps and a drainage system for clean-outand winterization. SAKAI also offers arelease agent to keep asphalt from sticking tothe pneumatic tires of the TW320-1 andTW330-1 models during warm-up. Thisrelease agent is stored in a separate tank anduses an independent spray bar and pump tokeep it from mixing with the main watertank and spray system. For more information, call 1-800-323-
0535, or visit www.sakaiamerica.com.
SAKAI America’s 300 Series rollers consist of threesmall double drum steel and two combinationsteel/pneumatic tire roller models, all of which boast ahigh frequency of 4,000 vpm.

Wirtgen America Unveils W 50 DC Rumble Strip Cutter Wirtgen America’s new high-
performance rumble strip cutter— the W 50 DC Rumbler is astandard W 50 DC cold millingmachine with an optionalRumbler attachment installed,providing cutting of milled rum-ble strips in the standard, pre-ferred 16-in. width at speeds ofup to 180 fpm (55 m).
Without the Rumblerinstalled, the deep-cutting W 50DC cuts 8 in. (20 cm) deep anda variety of widths up to 20 in.(50.8 cm). It has a Deutz 123 hp(91 kW) diesel engine, com-bined with a more robust17,000-lb. (7,711 kg) design, 7-in. (17.7 cm) turning radius andstandard rear loading conveyor.
Addition of the WirtgenRumble Strip Milling attach-ment results in a durable, reli-able cold mill for generalmilling use, combined with amilling technology for cuttingmilled rumble strips in shoul-ders, or down centerlines oftwo-way pavements, accordingto the manufacturer.
The W 50 DC Rumbler features a six-sided rumble wheelwith urethane pads, powered by a hydraulic rumble wheeldrive. The Rumbler drum and wheel can be mounted oneither the left- or right-hand side of the W 50 DC, with easycutter access.
The W 50 DC Rumbler cutter drive is an extension of theW 50 DC’s standard drum drive system, using a mechanicalbelt drive.
A simple wheel/pad assembly rolls along the pavementsurface to actuate the Rumbler sub-frame in and out of thecut. Custom drum widths and pad sets are available. Specialpatterns can be achieved with special rumble wheel pads;intermittent patterns can be achieved with the available skipline kit. For optimal cutting, W1-10/S-R Rhino bits can beused.
A standard, long front pointer is designed for stable, accu-rate correction when on the job, essential for tracking inter-mittent references like the pavement “drip” line or a center-line. A short pointer also is installed as a standard. Both pro-vide a dual reference, which can give the operator a bettersense of the W 50 DC Rumbler’s position.
Why Milled Rumble Strips?
The Federal Highway Administration’s TechnicalAdvisory (T 5040.35) endorses shoulder rumble strips fordriver safety from run-off-road events, and maintains thatmilled-in strips are the best option. FHWA said milled rum-ble strips are superior because they have little or no effect onthe integrity of the pavement structure, and produce greaternoise and vibration than rolled or formed rumble strips
While rumble strips can be rolled-in for freshly placedasphalt shoulders, research by the Pennsylvania TurnpikeCommission found strips milled into existing shoulders tobe superior to rolled-in rumble strips.
The W 50 DC Rumbler is a standard W 50 DC cold milling machine with an optional Rumbler attachment installed.

Contractors Face Pressure of Securing a Stable ProductThe low, flat terrain around Devils Lake
consists of various coulees, channels andbasins, which may be separated during timesof low water, or connected during highwater. Thus the boundaries of the lake canvary greatly from year to year, depending onthe amount of precipitation.Above average rains and snowfalls during
the mid 1990s caused Devils Lake water lev-els to rise rapidly. In spring and summer2009, the lake rose nearly 4 ft. (1.2 m) Thelake elevation has continued to rise eachyear, creating an overall 26-ft. (7.9 m)increase in 13 years, claiming another81,000 acres of adjacent, privately ownedland. The lake now covers about 125,000acres, according to information from theDevils Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. In late June 2010, the lake crested at a new
record high elevation just above 1,452 ft.(442.5 m) above sea level, with the top of the8-mi. embankment protecting Devils Lake at1,460 ft. (445 m), a level that was completedin December of 2005. Then in the spring of2011 the lake rose about 3 ft. (0.9 m) to itscurrent elevation of 1,454 ft. (443.1 m),according to information from the DevilsLake Area Chamber of Commerce. Traditionally, the top 6 ft. (1.8 m) of level
elevation serves as freeboard or a safety fac-tor to prevent waves or ice from splashingover it, explained Bonnie Greenleaf, projectmanager with the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers in St. Paul, Minn.The height required for the maximum
pool elevation of 1,458 ft. (444.3 m) (whereflows would begin out of the natural outlet atTolna Coulee) is 1466 ft. (446.8 m) to meetdam safety standards. So, to meet those stan-dards, the embankment is being lengthenedfrom 8 mi. long to over 12 mi. (3.7 m),extending the embankment to high ground,and increasing its height to 1,466 ft. abovesea level. The initial levees were constructedin the 1980s to an elevation of 1,445 ft.(440.4 m) above sea level. In 1996 the dikeswere raised an additional 5 ft. (1.5 m) and in1997 they were raised again, this time to1,457 ft (444 m) to provide protection for alake level of 1,451 ft. (442.2 m), accordingto information from the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers. The lake began outletting into nearby
Stump Lake at 1,446 ft. (440.7 m) This risein water level has caused flooding to proper-ty and communities as well as transportationsystems throughout the area. Water levels inDevils and Stump lakes are expected to con-tinue to rise over the next decade, floodingmore property, communities and transporta-tion systems until the water level reaches1,458 ft. (444.3 m), at which time the waterbegins to flow into the Sheyenne River viathe Tolna Coulee, causing additional flood-ing issues for communities along theSheyenne, according to information fromthe Devils Lake Area Chamber ofCommerce. To help combat the water, some roads are
functioning as dams, protecting interiorroads, property and homes, even though theroads were not designed or constructed to actas dams. Corrective measures have beenidentified to reinforce these roads so thatthey function safely and meet dam safetystandards, according to information from theU.S. Army Corps of Engineers. About 7 mi. (11.3 km) of highways 20
and 57 are being raised. This phase of con-struction will cost about $150 million, whichis shared 75/25 by the federal governmentand the city of Devils Lake.The embankment construction work is
being phased so that an acceptable level ofprotection will be in place prior to the springrunoff of 2012. Embankments are beingraised in four phases to reach 1,466 ft. Phase1 was awarded in October of 2009; con-struction of a pump station head well is near-ing completion. Phase 2 was split into two contracts to
allow for additional time to address geotech-nical challenges. Phase 2a was awarded inNovember 2010 and will be completed inNovember 2011, which includes raising andlengthening the embankment, which is cur-rently about half complete. The FederalHighway Administration and the Bureau ofIndian Affairs are the lead agencies on thisproject, with technical support provided bythe Corps of Engineers. Many of the roadsare located within the Spirit Lake IndianReservation.Phase 3 was awarded in April 2011; Phase
2b was awarded in May 2011. All phases arescheduled to be completed by November2012. Constructing the various embankmentelevations has required tremendous amountsof materials. When creating the 1,457 ft.height in 1997, 1.8 million cu. yds.(1,376,199 cu m) was needed; and, to createthe 1,460 ft. (445 m) height in 2005, about160,000 cu. yds. (122,329 cu m) wasrequired.Lengthening the current 8 mi. embank-
ment by 4 mi. (6.4 km) and increasing itsheight 6 ft. (1.8 m) requires about 2.6 millioncu. yds. (1,987,843 cu m) of materials,including riprap, impervious fill, sand drain,bedding and top soil. The embankment isbeing constructed to a width of 20 ft. (6.1 m) Some new techniques to construct the
levee, due to Hurricane Katrina, have beenincorporated such as creating a vegetative-free zone of 50 ft. (15.2 m), which can havenothing in it except turf, making it necessaryto move utilities, Greenleaf said. In someareas the levees are being tied into the highground. “That is something that is stricter then in
the past because since Katrina there is a lotof concern about levee standards,” sheadded.A few challenges presented themselves
over the last few years because the lake levelis rising so quickly, creating the need for anaggressive schedule and a more technicaldesign, Greenleaf said. “We had to scramble and a lot of analysis
had to go into this because technically this isa dam. Soil borings were taken and testingwas done and we discovered that the materi-als were worse than we originally thought.” This made it necessary for crews had to
construct additional features like slurrytrenches, which are created as impermeablegroundwater barriers.“Normally, when working on a dam and
doing a project on a reservoir the water levelis drawn down as much as possible so thereis no big head of water on the other side; but,on this project that is not possible, which cre-ated a lot of pressure on the other side,”Greenleaf said. Making sure the final product is stable
places a lot of pressure on the contractors asto how they build the embankment. Soil is hauled in from various borrow
sites, which has been a huge challenge whenextending the embankment and when raisingthe highway heights, Greenleaf said. TheCity of Devils Lake and the Spirit LakeTribe has rules in effect on how deep can digbecause they don’t want a bunch of holesthat lake water could fill later. “It has been difficult to find materials,
since we have to be a little more particular inmaterials use. We want clay for its com-paction properties, while sandy materialscan be used on the highways. However,there are property owners who are willing tosell soil,” Greenleaf said.Typically, a longer design period and a
longer construction period would have beenincorporated on a project of this type, butcrews are concerned because of how fast thelake has risen in the last few years and howmuch it will rise over the upcoming winter. “So if contractors don’t have the embank-
ment raised to certain level we have to havetemporary measures in place so waves aren’tsplashing over embankment. At an elevationof 1,460 feet above sea level we have 6 feetof freeboard so the water is not above1,454,” Greenleaf said. “It is a few tenthsabove that now, and if comes up next springit will cause water to splash over the top. Inthe spring it looks like ocean waves on thehighway and plows are scraping away thelogs and rocks. We fortunately didn’t havedamage to our rip rap because we use reallybig rock. We have to protect our embank-ment and be ready for possible issues.”The water level increases in the spring and
peaks during June but the Corps is hopingfor a half foot or a foot of evaporation duringthe summer. Last year they were hoping forthat too but it didn’t happen. The water levelheld to within a few tenths of where it hadbeen. That level is holding steady betweenthe evaporation and the excessive rains thissummer. Crews with Ames Construction Inc., of
Burnesville, Minn., in conjunction with theNorth Dakota Department of Transportation,are working to raise a 7 mi. length ofHighways 20 and 57, about 12 mi. south ofDevils Lake. Work began in 2010 to raisethe various locations along these two high-
ways between 7 and 14 ft. (2.1 and 4.3 m),said Benjamin Lovin, project manager withAmes Construction. Prior to construction,lake water had increased to the point whereit was up to the edge of the road, causingvehicle weight limits and speed reductions to25 mph. As of mid-September, work was about 60
percent complete with a scheduled comple-tion of November. A late spring this year anda wetter than normal summer shortened thework season. “Work on some portions will be a couple
of weeks behind schedule, while work onother portions is actually ahead of schedule,”said Greg Semenko, assistant district engi-neer with the North Dakota Department ofTransportation. “The contractors have donean excellent job in trying to meet the sched-ules, Some of the operations are working 24hours a day.”Millions of cubic yards of materials are
needed to raise the 7-mi. portion of roadway.About 100 side dump and bell dump semiswere used to haul in 2.6 million cu. yds. ofborrowed embankment materials and anoth-er 1.4 million cu. yds. (1,070,379 cu m) ofborrowed impervious clay core material.Another 300,000 cu. yds. (229,366 cu m) ofwaste excavation was removed from the sitein order to improve the remaining soil.About 200,000 tons (181,437 t) of aggregatebase course was placed, as well as about130,000 tons (117,934 t) of sand drainagematerial and about 430,000 tons (390,089 t)of rip rap and bedding stone. All will betopped with about 20,000 tons (18,144 t) ofasphalt paving.Twelve Caterpillar model 330 to 375
excavators were used to move the materials,along with eight Caterpillar D5 to D8 dozers,two Caterpillar 627 scrapers, and fourCaterpillar 140 motorgraders. Five Dynapacand Caterpillar sheeps-foot and smooth-drum compactors were also needed.Temporary steel sheet piling was set into
place with a Manitowoc 10000 100-toncrane with an H & S 4400 vibratory ham-mer. Numerous large earthwork projects in the
Devils Lake are creating congested workconditions and “a shortage of trucks andqualified workers to fill everyone’s needs,”Lovin said. Other projects in the Devils Lakeinclude several locations along Highway 19,which intersects with northern points ofDevils Lake such as Six Mile Bay, MauvisCoulee and Minnew. Flats, Creel BayCrossing by the Devils Lake airport, US 2east of Penn, Highway 20 at Spring Lake,the Devils Lake Dike and Grahams IslandRoad.Once the highways have been raise and
the embankment is complete an emergencyoutlet for Devils Lake will need to be con-structed in order to create a permanent solu-tion to the community’s flooding issues.Several locations for an outlet have beenproposed but no decision has yet been made.CEG

Safety First...
AGC Plans to Launch New FallProtection Training Program
The Associated General Contractors ofAmerica will launch a new fall protectionsafety training program next year due to anew federal safety grant the association isbeing awarded. The association will use the$130,000 Susan Hardwood Training Grantfrom the U.S. Department of Labor to tack-le one of the most pressing safety issues inconstruction, officials said.
“The new training program will help uscontinue to make construction safer for mil-lions of workers,” said Stephen E. Sandherr,the association’s chief executive officer.“This is another sign of the commitment ourassociation and our members have toimproving construction safety.”
Sandherr said that while the overall num-ber of construction fatalities has declined bynearly 50 percent over the past five years,fall-related fatalities remain the singlelargest cause of construction deaths,Sandherr said. He noted that fatalities fromfalls accounted for 260 out of the 751 con-
struction fatalities reported in 2010, or near-ly 35 percent of the total.
The association head noted that the safe-ty program would provide comprehensiveinformation about fall protection for bothcommercial and residential construction. Headded that the association would offer thesafety program in eight different sites during2012 and expected to instruct as many as500 construction workers during the year.
Sandherr added that, in addition to thenew fall protection program, the associationalready offers a host of safety programs andmaterials that construction firms are takingadvantage of. These include in-seat safetytraining programs and making educationalmaterials available to construction firms.
“Any chance we get to improve safety forconstruction workers we are going to take,”Sandherr said. “After all, the constructionindustry is only as strong as its workers aresafe.”
New Holland Planson Shifting Focus toCompact Products
New Holland Construction announced Sept. 15 that inNorth America it will refocus on its strengths: the compactproduct lines for the landscaping, utility, residential con-struction and agriculture industries, among others.
As a result, starting in 2012 New Holland Constructionwill begin withdrawing from the North American market itscrawler dozers, motorgraders, 80 plus horsepower wheelloaders, 6 plus ton excavators and telescopic handlers. NewHolland Construction will continue to offer compact prod-ucts and associated attachments, including skid steer loaders,compact track loaders, tractor loaders, loader backhoes, com-pact wheel loaders and compact excavators.
This announcement only concerns the North Americanmarket, as New Holland Construction will continue to sellthe heavy equipment product lines in all other world markets.
“New Holland Construction’s heritage in North Americais a great source of pride and we are pleased with the successof our compact line. We are committed to providing ourNew Holland Construction customers with the superiorequipment performance they expect,” commented JimHasler, vice president of CNH Construction, North America.
