LiuGong North America is pleased to announce that they will now be offer-ing the LiuGong branded TwinLock Powerlatch quick couplers in the North American market. The quick couplers have been designed to fit the LiuGong 915D, 922D, 925D, 936D and 950E.

“LiuGong Construction Machinery in North Amer-ica has been given a strong advantage by partnering with Miller, via LiuGong headquarters in China, to be able to offer the Power-Latch coupler to our North American dealer base. The PowerLatch quick coupler

has been extremely suc-cessful worldwide and is a leader in safety and com-pliance,” explains North American Sales Manager, Marcus Menough.

LiuGong chose to attach its name to the Miller brand as it exemplifies safety, quality, reliability and lon-gevity. The easy service ca-pability of the PowerLatch mirrors LiuGong machines in simplicity of design. “This partnership with Miller further exemplifies LiuGong’s commitment to our dealers and market-place of providing a world class, “full line” of equip-ment solutions,” added

Marc Dowdell, President of LiuGong North America.

“Cash flow is a critical component to contractors and dealers. Both cou-plers and buckets can be purchased, financed, and warrantied as part of one equipment transaction. Equally as important, Contractors and Dealers can still utilize their ex-isting attachments from their fleet, thusly maxi-mizing their overall fleet investment and conserv-ing cash flow,” continued Marc Dowdell.

LiuGong North America is planning to expand its coupler and attachments offering in the near future. “As our business contin-ues to grow and we sell more excavators in this market a big challenge for our customers is to have the flexibility to pick up competitor’s attachments. The PowerLatch gives our machines that capability in a solution directly sup-plied from LiuGong North America,” says Marcus Menough.

The quick couplers are available for immediate dealer purchase and can be viewed at the ConExpo-Con/Agg show March 4 – 8, 2014 in Las Vegas. b

Automatic Greasing Systems specialist FLO Components Ltd. will be featuring the SKF Mono-Flex Fluid Grease auto-matic lubrication systems at Truck World 2014 this April.

According to FLO’s Marketing Specialist Ga-briel Lopez, Truck World 2014 will be FLO’s official introduction of the SKF brand of autogreasing sys-tems to the trucking in-dustry in Canada.

“FLO Components has been ‘Meeting Customers’ Needs Better’ as lube so-lutions experts and trust-ed lubrication advisors with the Lincoln brand of equipment and solu-tions since 1977. Lincoln was purchased outright by the SKF Group of Swe-den in October 2010. Last year, FLO became the first dual brand System House in Canada for both Lin-coln and SKF brands. At the same time, SKF Lu-brication Business Unit restructured its frontline

operations and appointed FLO as its full service & support partner for On-tario. FLO now stocks a full inventory of SKF lube product, and we’re able to offer the entire spectrum of SKF Lube Solutions, for all applications including on-road trucks and ve-hicles.”

Commenting on the SKF line, Mike Deckert, VP of FLO Components said; “We’re very excited about the SKF MonoFlex for the trucking indus-try. It is an ideal solu-tion for anyone wishing to use a fluid type grease NLGI #000 to 00. One of the most exciting aspect of the MonoFlex for our customers is that they can use any brand of fluid grease that meets the system specifications – they don’t have to use a specific brand. ”

Other advantages of the MonoFlex, according to FLO include:• Totally Electric Pump –

there is no air required

and therefore no impact on the truck air system.

• Pressure Gauge – in-stalled at the pump as a standard, a pressure gauge allows for visual monitoring of the sys-tem pressure during regular maintenance in-spections and helps you trouble-shoot the pump and main line. A flutter-ing gauge for example, would tell you there is air in the supply line. Other systems rely sole-ly on a pressure switch to tell you whether or not the system has reached the required operating pressure, but nothing more.

• Adjustable Grease Dis-tributors – individual piston distributors can be easily adjusted by changing the screw-in volume caps, to in-crease or decrease the volume of grease to each point, without having to disconnect any of the grease lines.FLO will be exhibiting

multiple different working demos at the Truck World 2014 Show on April 10-12, in Booth #5638, Hall 5, and system experts will be on hand to answer ques-tions. b

The all-new Gehl Z45 GEN:2 compact excava-tor brings efficient perfor-mance to the market in a stateof-the-art package. This new model incorpo-rates innovative features that enhance productiv-ity, operator comfort, ef-ficiency and cost savings on the jobsite. The Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator includes many upgrades from the previous Z45 model.

The new Z45 GEN:2 is equipped with a 37.7 hp (28.1 kW) electronically-controlled Yanmar Tier IV emissions-certified diesel engine which provides up to 20% less fuel consump-tion than the previous Z45 model and features an elec-tronic throttle for precise control. Two other impor-tant cost saving features include ECO mode and auto deceleration. When activated by the flip of a switch inside the cab, ECO mode will reduce the en-gine speed by 10% without sacrificing power. Utiliz-ing ECO mode will save fuel when full speed is not necessary. Auto decelera-tion mode improves fuel economy, lowers noise lev-els and reduces emissions by decreasing the engine speed to idle after four seconds without hydraulic movement.

Multiple improve-ments have also been made to the operator’s

compartment to enhance productivity and control-lability. To address pro-ductivity, the controls on the Z45 GEN:2 have been improved to include a proportional auxiliary hydraulic rocker switch which vastly enhances attachment options. This allows the operator to ad-just the hydraulic flow for optimal attachment per-formance. The operator can easily select standard ISO or an optional back-hoe control pattern with a turn of a mechanical le-ver. An integrated digital display located in a high-ly-visible area features re-cordable maintenance his-tory with adjustable time intervals and reminders. The display unit also re-cords hours used for the past 90 days and can be monitored without start-ing the engine.

The operator’s com-partment has been en-larged and redesigned to offer the most advanced features in operator com-fort. A 4-way adjustable seat offers custom height, weight and backrest posi-tions with a retractable belt. An optional cab enclosure, with heat or heat/air-conditioning sys-tems, provides comfort and protection in extreme weather conditions. An adjustable suspension seat and arm rests provide personalized comfort.

Serviceability on the Z45 GEN:2 has been greatly enhanced over the previous model. Tool-free access is made possible by large swing-out doors on the back and right-hand side of the machine. These compartments re-veal the entire engine and daily maintenance points; radiator, oil cooler, bat-tery and fuses. Remove the cab floor panels, kick plates and tip the seat back to reveal the starter, alternator, fuses, control module and control valve. A left-side front panel re-veals the control pattern selector and the left-side rear panel is a handy lockable toolbox for op-erator necessities. On units equipped with an enclosed cab and air-con-ditioning, the A/C compo-nents are easily accessible via a tool-free access door on the upper-rear part of the machine.

Features that carry over from the previous model include the Power-a-Tach hydraulic quick coupler which allows attachment changes by the flip of a switch inside the cab. The operator leaves the seat only to engage and disen-gage the safety pin. Other important performance features include a high-strength boom with sliding cylinder guards that pro-tect the rods from damage and the high-performance hydraulic system with two variable and two gear pumps for simultaneous operation without loss of power. A factory-installed hydraulic thumb attach-ment option further en-

hances versatility and job-site adaptability.

A large operator’s compartment with a cab-forward design provides excellent visibility to the front, the cutting edge, and the sides of the load-er. Lowered rear towers provide excellent visibility to the rear. A side-folding restraint bar and armrests with multiple adjustments move up and down with the seat to enhance op-erator comfort and safety. New on the RT175 GEN:2 and RT210 GEN:2, the front of the armrests have been elevated approxi-mately 8 degrees, adding two inches of added clear-ance between the seat and lap bars to provide even more room for the opera-tor’s legs and thighs. The

joystick and hand/foot control towers are fully adjustable for further cus-tomization of the cab. A standard mechanical or optional air-ride suspen-sion seats deliver out-standing comfort. Applications

The Gehl Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator is posi-tioned in the North Ameri-can market to meet the needs of contractors, ag-ricultural customers, and the rental industry. Gehl Compact Excavators ex-cel in applications such as grading and excavating, trenching, digging, demoli-tion and recycling and light utility construction. Their compact nature and zero-tail-swing design make them ideal in situations where space is limited.Interview

“The market demand is higher than ever for an innovative, powerful exca-vator with low operating costs,” says Nathan Ryan, Product Manager for Gehl compact excavators. “The new Gehl Z45 GEN:2 com-pact excavator meets and exceeds these demands by incorporating a Tier IV emissions certified engine and power conserving fea-tures that result in up to a 20% fuel savings over the previous Z45 model. Add in the new state-of-the-art features - proportional aux-iliary hydraulic controls, digital display, oversized re-designed cab and ser-viceability improvements - and owners will find the new Gehl Z45 GEN:2 com-pact excavator the ideal machine for maximum per-formance.” b

Kobelco Construc-tion Machinery USA re-cently announced plans to donate $100,000 to the non-profit organization Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) from the sale of 5 Kobelco SK350 limited edition crawler excava-tors designed to support our troops. One of these machines will be on dis-play in Silver Lot Booth 4408 at ConExpo 2014 from March 4th – March 8th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Supplementing the com-pany’s donation will be monies collected from at-tendees making donations throughout the show in Kobelco’s exhibit. The WWP supports a full range of programs and services for this genera-tion of injured veterans and their families.

Over 47,000 service-men and women have been injured in the re-cent military conflicts. In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated that as many as 400,000 service members live with the visible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have expe-rienced a traumatic brain injury while on deploy-ment.

WWP’s 18 programs and services are unique-ly structured to nurture the mind and body and encourage economic em-powerment and engage-ment.

Throughout the 5 day ConExpo event, attend-

ees can stop by Kobel-co’s booth to have their photo taken with this special machine, which is wrapped in graphics designed to salute our troops and includes the logos of all five of our armed force divisions. The machine’s bucket will serve as a donation drop point for attendees wishing to support the WWP. Graphic displays nearby the machines will thank the 5 autho-rized Kobelco dealers who have purchased the SK350’s as well as the end-user retail custom-ers who will put them to work in the field.

“It has been a tradition for Kobelco to include a patriotic component in our ConExpo display ev-ery three years when this expansive show is held in Las Vegas. This year’s theme was a natural tie-in to the WWP and we are excited to be able to raise funds to help with their efforts in honouring and supporting the needs of our veterans. Kobelco cares and is thankful for the opportunity to give something back to those men and women who sac-rificed their lives to make ours safer,” states Ron Hargrave, Vice President of Operations for KOBLE-CO Construction Machin-ery USA.

All Kobelco employees working within the booth space will help support the onsite efforts at the show to raise as many funds as possible for the WWP. The show atten-

dance is anticipated to be over 120,000 people.

Kobelco Construc-tion Machinery USA is a Houston based heavy equipment manufacturer dedicated to producing a full range of crawler excavators in the 3,000 lb. to 184,000 lb. classes for the rental, landscape, construction, aggregate, roadbuilding, material handling, site prepara-tion, recycling and ancil-lary markets, including zero tail swing, standard, long-reach and compact models.

Icynene recently an-nounced that Dartmouth-based building perfor-mance contractor, MJM Energy, formally joined the Canadian spray foam manufacturer’s growing national dealer network after reaching a recipro-cal agreement this month. The agreement will see Icynene strengthen its presence in the region with MJM Energy.

Under the agreement, MJM Energy will be the spray foam manufactur-er’s largest dealer in At-lantic Canada, providing spray foam insulation in-stallation; thermal imag-ing and building envelop upgrades and installations for both residential and commercial properties.

MJM Energy has grown to more than 50 employees since being established in 2008 by ICAA certified owner Jamie Muirhead. Along with Mr. Muirhead, sev-eral key individuals on the MJM Energy team

have more than 40 years of experience across many areas of construc-tion. Mr. Muirhead and his team have grown the business rapidly since 2008, providing building performance solutions to help optimize the energy efficiency of more than 2000 homes across the region.

“MJM Energy’s strong business acumen and ini-tiative closely align with that of Icynene, making it a natural fit for the two organisations to come to-gether to provide smart, innovative spray foam insulation solutions to our customer base in At-lantic Canada. Icynene is investing to drive growth of the spray foam insu-lation category here in Canada, and partnering with like-minded organ-isations such as MJM Energy is part of our strategy to help foster this growth,” said Bruce Young, Canadian Re-gional Sales Manager for

Icynene. “Home and business

owners across Nova Sco-tia and Atlantic Canada will be able to take ad-vantage of the expertise and foresight that MJM Energy offers to create healthier and more en-ergy efficient places to live, work and play,” said Mr. Young.

“Our rapid business growth across the region spurred us to seek a part-ner who could provide comprehensive and tac-tile business support as well as one who shared our drive for long-term success. As a Canadian organisation, Icynene understood the mar-ket, our business needs as well as our potential for sustained growth. Icynene stepped up to provide the support we needed and we’re excit-ed to embark on the next stage of growth,” said MJM Energy owner, Ja-mie Muirhead.

Based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, MJM Energy offers clients building sci-ence knowledge to ensure their home or business per-forms at its best. Visit MJM Energy’s new website at www.mjmenergy.ca. b

MJM Energy Joins Icynene Canadian Dealer Network


Ritchie Bros. Auction-eers Incorporated sold ap-proximately $3.8 billion of equipment at 356 unre-served auctions around the world in 2013. This repre-sents a 3 percent decrease in gross auction proceeds (GAP) compared to the record GAP the company generated last year. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the company achieved gross auction proceeds of $1.1 billion, a record for the fourth quarter and an increase of 10percent com-pared to the same quarter of 2012.

Ritchie Bros. recently conducted its final unre-served auctions of 2013, in: Chehalis, Wash.; Raleigh-Durham, N.C; and, St. Lou-is, Mo. The company plans to release its full audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for 2013 on March 4, 2014.

“We achieved some notable milestones during 2013,” said Peter Blake, CEO of Ritchie Bros. “In Canada, our most estab-lished market, we con-tinued to grow and again surpassed gross auction proceeds of over $1 bil-lion. We also held our first auctions in both China and Finland, and reached a new record for online bidders and buyers. In fact, our online bidders purchased

more than $1.4 billion of equipment in 2013, or ap-proximately 37 percent of our total sales. We’re pleased that our custom-ers are finding convenience through our online bidding option, and comfort in the ability to test and inspect the equipment being sold in our yards before each auction. More than 43,000 consigners trusted us to sell their equipment at our industrial auctions during the year, and over 425,000 potential buyers registered to bid on items.”

Blake continued, “This was an important year for our business. We had a fo-cused strategy to grow our sales force and improve the performance of our underwritten (or ‘at risk’) business. On both counts, we have made great prog-ress. During 2013 we grew our sales force to the larg-est it’s ever been, and we continued to invest in new technology tools for our sales team that will provide better insight into our cus-tomer base, enhance our service levels and improve sales productivity. As well, the much improved perfor-mance of our underwrit-ten business allowed us to achieve record quarterly auction revenue rates dur-ing 2013. We also success-fully launched Equipmen-tOne.com, a new online

non-auction service offer-ing that has allowed us to reach new customers and broaden the solutions we offer equipment owners.”

“Having made impor-tant investments in our auction platform over the last several years, our worldwide network of 44 sites is now extremely well equipped to handle ex-panding auction volumes. Our focus going forward is on driving growth in gross auction proceeds to deliver the earnings leverage that exists in our model.”Dividends

Ritchie Bros. increased its quarterly cash dividend in August 2013, and paid out total dividends during the year of $53.9 million, compared to $50.0 million in 2012.Online auction bidding

Ritchie Bros. attracted record online bidder reg-istrations and sold ap-proximately $1.4 billion of equipment, trucks and other assets to online bid-ders in 2013, an 8 percent increase over 2012 and the highest amount ever sold online by the company in one year.Auction site network expansion

During 2013 Ritchie Bros. opened three new auction sites. On March 19, 2013, the company opened a new permanent auc-

tion site in Geelong (Mel-bourne), Victoria, Aus-tralia. This is the second permanent auction site in Australia, complementing Ritchie Bros. existing site in Brisbane. On April 18, 2013, the company opened a regional auction site in Beijing, China – Ritchie Bros.’ first auction site in China. On October 11, 2013, the company opened a regional auction site in Manchester (Hooksett), New Hampshire, US. This site was opened to replace the company’s prior site in Hartford, Connecticut, as the Manchester location is more accessible and conve-nient for customers.First auction in China

Ritchie Bros. held its first ever unreserved auc-tion in China on April 18, 2013, and its second un-reserved auction there on Nov. 21, 2013. Ritchie Bros. auctions in China are the culmination of many years working with Chi-nese authorities and equip-ment owners to establish a convenient and transpar-ent channel for used equip-ment transactions in China, and the export of equip-ment from China through the Tianzhu Free Trade Zone.Six-day auction in Orlando, Florida breaks online sales record

Ritchie Bros. held its largest auction of the year in Orlando, Florida on Feb. 18 – 23, 2013. This six-day auction broke the company record for total online sales at one auction, as online buyers generated more than $53 million in GAP, or 31 percent of the $176 mil-

lion of total GAP generated at the auction.Over CA$1 billion in sales achieved for second consecutive year in Canada

For the second consecu-tive year, Ritchie Bros. sold more than CA$1 billion of equipment and trucks in its Canadian auctions. The milestone was achieved at the Ritchie Bros.’ un-reserved public auction in Edmonton, AB on Dec. 12 – 13, 2013. Other 2013 highlights from Ritchie Bros. Canadian auctions include: • The six auctions at

Ritchie Bros. Edmon-ton, AB site surpassed CA$425 million, a record for annual sales at the site;

• A record level of online buyers at the Edmon-ton, AB auction on April 24 – 26, 2013, where more than CA$36 mil-lion of equipment was purchased by online bid-ders;

• The largest agricultural auction in Ritchie Bros. history was held in Sas-katoon, SK on Dec. 3, 2013, where more than CA$43 million of agri-cultural equipment was sold.Ritchie Bros. Finan-

cial Services finances over CA$100 million in 2013

Ritchie Bros. Financial Services (RBFS) provided over CA$100 million of financing to equipment buyers during 2013, a re-cord for the business. This represents a 122percent in-crease in activity over the prior year and continued growth since its incep-

tion in July 2011. RBFS works with select lending partners to find financing solutions for customers purchasing equipment, in-cluding loans and lease-to-own programs. RBFS does not utilize company capital in its financing activities.Launch of Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne

Ritchie Bros. commer-cially launched Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne on April 8, 2013. Comple-mentary to the company’s flagship unreserved auc-tion business, Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne (www.EquipmentOne.com) is a safe and secure online marketplace for the private sale of equipment and ma-terials where buyers and sellers can negotiate, com-plete and settle their trans-actions. This new solution provides equipment own-ers with the ability to con-trol the selling price and the process during the sale of their items, and allows the company to reach new customers whose needs differ from those attracted to Ritchie Bros.’ auction services.Website statistics

The Ritchie Bros. web-site (www.rbauction.com), which is a gateway to the company’s online bidding system and show-cases upcoming auctions and equipment to be sold, attracted more than 6.3 million unique visitors in 2013, a 12 percent increase compared to last year. The website was viewed over 14.7 million times during 2013, an increase of 15 per-cent compared to the prior year. b

Ritchie Bros.Completes Final Auctions of 2013


A new forward-mount instrumentation system designed for enhanced functionality and im-proved ergonomics is available for six existing models of Bobcat com-pact excavators. The new instrumentation system, introduced with the E32, E35, E42, E45, E50, and E55, presents operators of Bobcat excavators with many of the functions, aesthetics and visibil-ity they’ve come to enjoy with Bobcat loaders. The new excavator instrumen-tation technologies can also help owners and fleet managers better under-stand and evaluate their performance and costs, as well as assist them with identifying opportunities to improve machine and operator efficiencies and protect their investments. Ergonomic improvements

The new deluxe in-strumentation panel and control switches have been designed to be more ergonomic for the opera-

tor. The previous instru-mentation panel required the operator to turn to the side to engage the panel’s input switches; the new panel presents these but-tons in front of the opera-tor, where they are easier to identify and reach. From the operator’s viewpoint, the location of the panel also aligns with the exist-ing cab components and work group structures to maintain visibility to the attachment. Other forward-mounted instrumentation features include: • Improved auxiliary logic:

The auxiliary hydrau-lic paddle switch is live when the console is in the lowered position, eliminating the need to activate the auxiliary hy-draulic mode switch;

• New joystick switches that improve the boom swing and auxiliary con-trols;

• Improved paddle profile makes operation more comfortable over extend-ed time;

• Reduced spring pres-sure on paddle switches enhances controllability and comfort;

• New auxiliary detent switch profile improves functionality;

• New cup holder avail-able forward of the op-erator, as well as a cup holder located to the right of the operator;

• Storage cubby located to right of the operator for handy items;

• When equipped with the radio, it is installed to the right of the operator as op-posed to its previous loca-tion on the rear panel.

Deluxe instrumentation panel functionality

The M-Series exca-vator’s optional deluxe instrumentation panel features multi-lingual func-tionality, similar to other Bobcat products. It also offers multiple capabilities from analyzing user statis-tics, to integrated attach-ment controls, vitals and diagnostics. Bobcat Com-pany knows customers fre-

quently want to know their annual or hourly fuel con-sumption. The new instru-mentation system includes the functionality to capture individual fuel usage and real-time fuel consump-tion, as well as idle-time data. The 5-inch, full-color LCD screen enables moni-toring and interaction of multiple functions and vis-ibility to several features: • Seven languages, includ-

ing French; • Eco-mode for up to 8

percent in fuel cost sav-ings;

• Ability to customize au-to-idle delay to suit oper-

ator preference. Choose from between 4 and 250 seconds;.

• Attachment-specific oper-ation tips to optimize pro-ductivity and versatility;

• Enhanced engine and hy-draulic system informa-tion to simplify checks of machine status.

Three options for machine access

Among the many im-provements offered with the new instrumentation panel, it provides flexible options for machine access, which can increase secu-rity for equipment assets. Owners and operators now

have three choices relative to keying the machine: • Standard panel with key; • Standard panel with

keypad for keyless start, which includes provi-sions for one program-mable owner code;

• Deluxe instrumentation panel with integrated keyless start, which in-cludes provisions for one owner code and up to eight user codes. With the new system,

dealers can also upgrade keyed machines to a key-less start system much more cost-effectively.

Associated Equipment Distributors is pleased to announce the appointment of its new President and CEO, Brian P. McGuire. He will assume his duties with AED on Jan. 6, 2014, and will be based at AED’s headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill. He was most recently the president of the Tool-ing and Manufacturing As-sociation, headquartered in Park Ridge, Ill.

McGuire, 43, considered a strong, transformational, visionary leader and build-er, has a broad professional background in trade as-sociations with an impres-sive record in public policy advocacy, membership growth, as well as training and educational services for industry.

“We are about to en-ter a new chapter of AED with renewed energy,” said AED 2013 Chairman Mike Quirk, who is Vice

President of Operations at Wagner Equipment Co., the Caterpillar deal-er based in the Denver, Colo., metropolitan area. “Brian is an association professional whose ex-perience and talents are a wonderful match with the member needs of AED – we’re truly excited to welcome him aboard, and we’re looking forward to moving in an innovative, service-oriented direction under his leadership.”

An alum of Southern Illinois University, Mc-Guire is the former Senior Regional Manager of Il-linois and Wisconsin for the National Association of Manufacturers, which is based in Washington, D.C. He has also worked for a combined eight years for Illinois’ State Senator Steve Rauschenberger, as both a political consultant and Chief of State.

Focused on civic duty, McGuire is the top elected officer of his community, serving as Hanover Town-ship Town Supervisor for 99,000 residents and re-sponsible for a treasury of $12 million. He’s also a 20-year veteran volunteer firefighter who retired as captain in 2008.

“I’m looking forward to getting acquainted with all of AED’s constituencies – dealer members, manufac-turers and industry service suppliers, as well as the professionals who com-prise the AED staff in Oak Brook,” said McGuire. “To-gether, we’re going to con-tinue the mission of provid-ing outstanding resources to support distributor prof-itability, and we’ll identify new approaches for ensur-ing the future strength of the dealer model in the construction equipment in-dustry.”

AED Welcomes New President And CEO

Halting deforestation in tropical regions re-quires verification of for-est conditions. VTT has developed a new satel-lite image based method for accurate assessment of tropical forest cover. Part of the EU’s seventh framework programme, the ReCover project has involved using satellite imaging to map forest cover in sites in Mexico, Guyana, Columbia, Congo and the Fiji Islands over a period of up to 20 years.

The REDD programme is the United Nations’ collaborative initiative designed to combat defor-estation in the tropical re-gion and to reduce green-house gas emissions. The objective is to include REDD in the 2015 interna-tional climate agreement. Further concrete steps on REDD were already agreed in the United Nations Cli-mate Change Conference that was held in Warsaw in November. Through the REDD initiative, in-dustrialised countries pay

compensation for the con-servation and sustainable management of forests in the tropical region, where deforestation is progress-ing rapidly. The purpose of this is to increase car-bon sequestration in for-ests. The compensation system requires accurate verification, by satellite, of the condition of forests.

In this three-year proj-ect, VTT developed a new method of monitor-ing tropical forest cover using numerical satellite images. The method per-mits forest mapping us-ing satellite images with a resolution of ten to thir-ty metres. The accuracy of the maps is assessed by taking a statistical sample from satellite im-ages with a resolution of better than one metre. Sampling is intended to ensure that the mapping method does not over- or underestimate the forest-ed area.

In the ReCover proj-ect, nine research part-ners mapped forest cov-

er in Mexico, Guyana, Columbia, the Demo-cratic Republic of the Congo and the Fiji Is-lands. This was accom-plished in cooperation with local authorities and other local players in each country during a period lasting from the early 1990s to present day.

“In late 2014, the Sen-tinel satellites launched as part of the European Copernicus programme will begin to deliver sat-ellite image data that is highly suitable for forest monitoring,” says Tu-omas Häme, Research Professor at VTT. On the other hand, a fee will be charged for ultra-high resolution satellite im-ages.

The total cost of the EU ReCover project co-ordinated by VTT was approximately EUR 3.3 million. Negotiations on further projects are cur-rently under way with representatives of the target countries. Besides VTT, Arbonaut Oy rep-resented Finland in the project.

The final meeting of the project was held during the UN Climate Change Con-ference in Warsaw in No-vember. b

VTT Introduces Deforestation Monitoring For Tropical Regions


The undercarriage of tracked machines – dozers, excavators and compact track loaders – represents a significant portion of the equipment’s purchase price and the lion’s share of maintenance costs over the life of the machine. In this article we will cover tips on how to prevent and mini-mize undercarriage wear, and maximize undercar-riage life and lower owning and operating costs. Operating techniques: best practices

The undercarriage of a crawler machine works as a system of moving com-ponents that consists of sprockets, rollers, idlers, tracks and other miscel-laneous parts. Proper op-eration is critical to control-ling the cost of these wear items. Follow these general best practices:• Plan ahead: Proper op-

erating procedures start before the machine gets

to the jobsite. Check the ground conditions and the terrain to make a number of informed decisions. Examples in-clude the need to mini-mize travel on the site as travel equals wear, the use of steel tracks versus rubber tracks depend-ing on the need to con-trol ground pressure or navigate debris, choos-ing the narrowest shoe width possible to meet the required flotation, and discussions with op-erators about operating techniques that match the terrain.

• Make wider turns: Coun-ter-rotation, or pivot turns, causes accelerated wear and increases the potential for de-tracking of rubber-tracked ma-chines. Make wider more gradual turns, such as Y-turns, when possible.

• Work up and down on slopes: Constant opera-

tion on a slope or hill in one direction can ac-celerate wear to idlers, rollers and guide lugs by placing greater forces on one side. Travel straight up or down the slope. Turns are best performed on level ground. We un-derstand some jobs re-quire hillside work. For these situations, keep in mind that minimizing time on the slope will always payoff in reduced wear and load to the un-dercarriage.”

• Alternate turning direc-tion: Continuous turn-ing on the same side can cause asymmetrical wear and accelerated wear. Make every effort to balance the direction of turns throughout the day. If it’s not possible, check for wear more of-ten.

• Control track spinning: Unnecessary spinning can increase wear and

decrease productivity. Decrease the blade or bucket load to avoid it.

• Limit high-speed and reverse travel: Higher speeds can cause more wear, as can unneces-sary travel in reverse with dozers and CTLs. Minimize unproductive high speeds and avoid excessive travel in re-verse.

• Use caution when edges are encountered: Driving over steep edges, such as curbs, can cause damage to rubber tracks. Avoid traveling over them alto-gether, or use ramps. A

good suggestion for all tracks (rubber or steel) is to avoid loading just the side of the track pad, instead of the entire pad supporting the weight.

Take care with rubber tracks

Rubber tracks are a good choice when working in soft conditions and the jobsite dictates the need to minimize damage to the ground. If rubber tracks are used, it’s important to:• Avoid harsh environ-

ments: Traveling or operating in, or on, abrasive materials will shorten track life. Avoid

surfaces that include broken stone, jagged rocks, scrap iron or oth-er recycled materials; crushed rock, recycled concrete or demolition rubble; rough asphalt or concrete; and rock-laden jobsites or similar condi-tions that can damage tracks and cause them to de-track when stones get stuck in the idler or sprockets. Also avoid abrasive and contami-nated environments.

• Stick to relatively flat surfaces: Operating the machine with the out-

stored on their sides to avoid crimps.

• Replace not repair: Dam-aged tracks cannot be repaired and need to be replaced to minimize ex-cessive wear to other un-dercarriage components.

Use proper digging techniques with excavators

Operators should follow proper procedures specific to excavators and digging to minimize wear and tear on the machine’s undercar-riage.

It’s recommended that operators dig over the front idlers. Doing so properly transfers the vertical load that can otherwise cause damage. Avoid digging over the sprocket because it can cause bushings to crack or break. It’s also important to avoid digging over the sides of the ma-chine given the additional stress it places on track shoes and the track link as-sembly.Proper maintenance pays dividends

Proper care of the un-dercarriage can signifi-cantly minimize main-tenance costs, increase uptime and profoundly impact the longevity of the crawler machine. Owners and operators should:• Ensure proper track ten-

sion: Monitor track ten-sion when the machine is in actual working conditions and adjust it accordingly. When steel tracks are too tight, it ac-celerates bushing wear. When they’re too loose it can create instability, and in the worst case scenario, it can cause the tracks to derail. When rubber tracks are too tight, it can cause the tracks to stretch or break in addition to excessive roller and idler wear. A rubber track that is too loose can de-track, lead-ing to a damaged track and significant down-time. Proper tension of

Temperatures are frigid, snow is blowing and ice is abundant across much of the continent as we face one of the coldest winters on record. With more winter storms and cold tempera-tures on the way, it’s essen-tial to remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with po-tential power outages, loss of heat and severe weather-related conditions.

CSA Group, a leader in public safety, testing and certification, offers the fol-lowing five urban winter survival tips to help reduce hazards in your home and be ready for almost any-thing else the cold weather throws your way.

1. A working carbon monoxide alarm can save your life: Carbon monox-ide is a colourless, odour-less, lethal gas, and if your home uses fuel-burning appliances, such as a gas fireplace or furnace, you could be at risk of carbon monoxide exposure. Make sure all fuel-burning ap-pliances are properly ven-tilated when in use, and ensure you have a working

carbon monoxide alarm with a battery backup and a certification mark, such as CSA Group, to ensure it’s been tested to the appli-cable standards for safety and performance.

2. Ensure your gas fireplace is safe: Besides their decorative qualities, gas fireplaces can provide comfortable, economical and supplemental heat-ing for your living space. However, before using gas fireplaces, it is important to conduct routine inspec-tions and maintenance. The appliance’s control compartments, burners, vents and circulating air passageways must be kept clean and clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the fireplace. A fireplace should be inspected before each use and checked an-nually by a qualified pro-fessional serviceperson.

3. Use space heaters with care: Space heat-ers are designed to heat a chilly room, not to dry clothes, heat food, warm your bed, or thaw frozen

pipes - misuse can lead to serious injuries, fatalities and fires. When using a space heater in your home, be sure to follow all safety precautions to prevent fire, scorching, carbon monox-ide and indoor air pollut-ants. Look for a certifica-tion mark, such as CSA Group, on the space heater to ensure it is certified by an accredited organization and safe for indoor use.

4. Keep outdoor ap-pliances outdoors: When faced with a power outage, it can be tempting to use outdoor appliances to heat your home, but that choice can be deadly. Never use an outdoor fuel-powered generator, BBQ, camp-ing stove, lantern or other outdoor appliance inside your home or garage with-out ventilation. The fumes from these appliances can be lethal in enclosed spac-es.

5. Be careful with power generators: In the event of a power outage, use of generators can offer ac-cess to light and warmth. When using a generator,

side/inside edge of the track turned up can cause damage to the edg-es and lugs of the rubber track. Avoid traveling with the tracks on un-even ground, or surfaces with obstructions.

• Watch for curbs: Given that rubber is weaker than steel, do not allow the sides of tracks to contact curbs or walls to minimize damage and downtime.

• Rotate the tracks on com-pact equipment: These tracks are not direction-specific. With tracks on compact equipment, pull the tracks and swap sides or flip their direc-tion on each side when wear patterns present themselves.

• Properly clean and store tracks: Flush the tracks and undercarriage with clean water if the ma-chine was used in areas with corrosive materi-als. The tracks should be

steel or rubber tracks also ensures the machine puts available power to best use. Check the op-erator’s manual for spe-cific track inspection and tensioning procedures.

• Keep the undercarriage clean: At the end of the day, clean out mud and debris from the under-carriage since it can build up and accelerate component wear. Do-ing so at the end of the day ensures that material that might freeze or dry up and harden overnight is removed. Pay special attention to clean-up when rubber tracks are used given that build-up can cause the tracks to “stretch,” or result in harmful track tension.

• Conduct daily inspec-tions: Operators should inspect the undercar-riage for excessive or uneven wear, as well as damaged or missing components. Any issues should be immediately addressed to minimize further wear or damage.

• Follow the schedule: Conduct a complete un-dercarriage inspection in keeping with the manu-facturer’s recommen-dations. More frequent inspections should be performed if the machine is used in conditions that are more demand-ing than normal. Adhere to routine maintenance guidelines, including oil changes for final drives and checks on undercar-riage bolt torques.

Give the undercarriage its due

Proper operation of crawler machines – along with proper undercarriage care and maintenance – is an essential part of fleet management. Contractors who give it the attention it deserves will come out ahead with machines that deliver optimal perfor-mance with lower over-all owning and operating cost. b


be sure to check it’s rated for the amount of electric-ity required. To prevent shock, it should be prop-erly grounded and never connected to a home’s wiring, which could send high-voltage currents or “backfeed” to outside pow-er lines. Backfeed could be fatal to anyone who touch-es the power line and may cause additional damage to a home.

Most importantly, use

all your devices accord-ing to the manufacturer’s instructions and keep a copy of the warnings and instructions on-hand.About CSA Group

Innovation within the plastic pipe industry con-tinues to play a key role in its commercial future. A preview of papers submit-ted for Plastic Pipes XVII reveals significant trends and ideas in the field of

plastic pipe technology as well as an industry that is operating successfully on a larger world stage. The exhibition and conference will be hosted at Swissôtel Chicago, September 22 – 24, 2014.

Stephen Boros, VP Engi-neering for Pipelines Plas-tics, LLC and chairman of the organizing committee for the event, explains, “Global demand for plastic pipe systems is projected to rise 8.5 percent annu-

ally over the next three years. In North America, the shale energy boom has greatly expanded the use of plastic piping in the energy sector, and replacement of antiquated pipe networks by more durable and effi-cient plastic pipe materials using trenchless technol-ogy has become a major trend in all regions.”

“Our conference will clearly reflect an increas-ing level of sophistication in the design, manufac-ture and use of plastic pipe systems in these markets. A total of 130 papers for presentation have been ac-cepted by the conference review panel. All parts of the world will be represent-ed showing what they are doing with plastic piping systems. And, as a mea-sure of its interest, China will deliver as many as 20 of these presentations.”

The main program will embrace technical and marketing issues relating to the design and develop-ment, testing, installation and operation of plastic pipe systems. Papers will offer new solutions to tech-nical and engineering is-sues using plastic pipe sys-tems and identify market and business opportunities for further growth in the use of plastic pipes world-wide.” Elastics of plastics

Following on from the recent earthquake in China, conference participants will be interested to review the excellent seismic resistance

displayed by plastic pipes during the Great East Ja-pan Earthquake. Further evidence of the ability to absorb such shocks will be presented in the light of 25 years of seismic experience in New Zealand.

Plastic pipe systems are noted for their exceptional sustainability. This year, one paper will explain how their environmental foot-print within the building sector has been mapped out concisely by an inde-pendent European techni-cal institute. Such impacts can only be measured through performance and the passage of time. A sec-ond paper will therefore ex-plain in realistic terms how a lifetime expectancy of 150 years can be achieved for PE water pipe systems.

Further lifetime consider-ations will be explained by the technical director of the Spanish Association of Plas-tic Pipes and fittings (Ase-TUB). Monica de la Cruz will quantify and qualify the cost savings that can be achieved by quality pipe-line installation methods. The association will report on ten years of experience with their national training scheme to qualify installers of plastic pipes for water supply, sewer and irrigation systems.Eastern promise

On the topic of irriga-tion, ‘Greening the dessert’ is how one paper describes the planting of 12 million trees in Abu Dhabi. These forests are now irrigated by a network of 55,000 kilo-meters of pipes to provide an effective screen against sandstorms and shelter for a large number of animal species.

The Middle East is not the only region making ever more sophisticated plastic pipe systems. Roger Jepson from Union Pipes Industry will explain the ‘Rapid Spread of Large Diameter PO Pipes’ in the Middle and Far East. PE pressure pipes up to 2,500 mm and PP non-pressure pipes up to 4,000 in diam-eter are made locally and have won the trust of de-sign consultants through-out both regions.

By illustration, one par-ticular presentation from China will focus on the renovation of an old cast iron water main that was corroded and leaking heav-ily in the congested city of Shanghai. This large diam-eter conduit has now been ingeniously relined with

PE100 pipe. No-dig tech-nology below ground thus avoided any disturbance to city life above ground.Down under for good

In Australia - with its expansive tracts of land with harsh ground and weather conditions - other innovative solutions are to be found. Dr. Alan Whittle has over 30 years of experi-ence in the world of plastic pipes. In Chicago, he will report on plowing tech-niques that have installed over 50,000 km of PE pipe (up to 610 mm diameters) to deliver coal seam gas in South East Queensland. These new methods are safe, rapid and require minimum open trenches. Their application could be advantageous elsewhere in the world.

Meanwhile in Europe, new ways have been devel-oped to secure lasting joints for larger diameters. James Johnston from McElroy Manufacturing will share his company’s experience in Norway where new equipment and techniques are proving successful for butt-fusing HDPE pipes of diameters up to 2 meters.Record attendance

Hosting a record 550 participants from over 40 countries, Plastic Pipes XVII is the largest conference and exhibition of its kind. “Our industry is an innovative and exciting partnership of technology and business,” explains Boros. “Delegates are drawn from an interna-tional community of plastic pipe and fittings producers, users and installers. Repre-sentatives from major en-ergy, water, telecom and sewer utility companies will attend alongside those from the building sector. Also present will be industry con-sultants, leading technicians and engineers, suppliers of raw materials and additives as well as extrusion equip-ment manufacturers.”

Plastics Pipes XVII is organized in collaboration with The Plastics Pipe In-stitute, TEPPFA, PE 100 As-sociation and PVC4Pipes. Sponsors for Plastic Pipes VXII in Chicago include Rollepaal and Battenfeld-Cincinnati as the main corporate diamond level sponsors as well as Dow Chemical and Baerlocher Group at gold level, Chev-ron Phillips, Lyondell/Ba-sell, MOL, Gas Technology Institute and KraussMaffei Corporation at the silver level, as well as Floridienne Chimie and others. bToll Free: 1-800-661-4155 | weldco-hydralift.com | weldco-beales.com

New data shows a dra-matic increase in the num-ber of Canadians employed in the mining industry with more than 418,000 people in full-time-equivalent jobs working in various facets of the sector, according to the Mining Association of Canada’s latest Facts & Fig-ures 2013 report.

Drawing from a new data source, Natural Re-sources Canada released a more comprehensive estimate of mining sector employment. The source includes data for support activities of the mining sec-tor that was not previously captured, including drill-ing and exploration. This grew the number of mining employees in Canada from 330,000 people in 2011 to 418,000 people in 2012, ac-counting for one in every 41 Canadian jobs. Year-over-year employment growth shows an increase of more than 11,000 jobs, or 2.8%, from 2011 to 2012.

“This remarkable em-

ployment figure is a much more accurate view of the Canadian mining indus-try’s role as both a major employer and economic driver in Canada,” said MAC’s President and CEO, Pierre Gratton. “It also adds to our already impressive employment figures. Not only is the mining industry the top paying industrial sector in the country, but it is also the largest private sector employer of Aborigi-nal people on a proportion-al basis and supports thou-sands of indirect jobs.”

Those who work in the industry enjoy the highest wages and salaries of all industrial sectors in Canada with an average weekly pay of $1,559, surpassing the earnings of workers in fi-nance, manufacturing, con-struction and forestry. Ad-ditionally, with more than 3,200 companies supplying goods and services to min-ing operations, Canada has one of the largest mining supply sectors in the world,

extending the industry’s economic and employment reach even further.

The report, which draws on the most recent data available from the federal government (mostly 2012), reveals the mining industry contributes greatly to the Canadian economy in a number of important ways. Canada’s mining sector contributed $52.6 billion to the national GDP in 2012 and mining industry ex-ports accounted for $92.5 billion, or 20.4%, of the Canadian total. The value of Canadian mineral pro-duction remained elevated in 2012 at $46.9 billion and mineral exploration and deposit appraisal expendi-tures maintained the $3.9 billion record set in 2011.

Globally, Canada is one of the top mining coun-tries. Canada (Toronto) is the leading global mining finance centre in the world. In 2012, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange ac-

counted for 70% of the world’s mining equity fi-nancings. Together, these financings comprised 70% of the equity raised globally for the year. Canada ranks in the top five countries in the global production of potash, uranium, aluminum, cobalt, titanium, tungsten, cadmi-um, diamonds, platinum, sulphur and nickel.

“Canada’s ability to at-tract highly-mobile global mining investment is con-tingent on several fac-tors aside from commod-ity prices set by the global market, many of which reside within our own bor-ders,” said Gratton. “It is imperative that industry and Canadian governments work together to address key domestic challenges in order to support new min-ing growth and ensure the country remains an attrac-tive place to mine or list.”

Top needs of the Cana-dian mining industry in 2014• An effective regulatory

process: In the face of recent and significant changes to the Canadian mining regulatory regime, every effort must be made to ensure a smooth transi-tion to the new regulatory model, and avoid unnec-essary and costly regula-tory delays.

• Sufficient human re-sources: The Canadian mining sector forecasts the need to hire more than 145,000 people over the next decade to replace retirees and fill new positions. Ensur-ing the industry has the skilled workers it needs to operate is crucial for industry growth.

• Improved infrastructure: Operating mines are of-ten in remote areas and they require roads, ma-rine access and power grids. A long-term stra-tegic approach to infra-structure investment will be required to fully capi-talize on Canada’s min-ing opportunity, particu-larly in Canada’s North.

• Competitive trade and investment environment: Canadian mining compa-nies are facing increasing competition from other mining jurisdictions, such as Australia and China. The federal government needs to continue its ro-bust trade agenda by es-tablishing trade, invest-ment and double taxation agreements, and by pro-viding programmatic sup-port to help companies compete. b

State by state, and prov-ince by province, the

voices of both those in fa-vour of fracking, predomi-nately oil and gas industry professionals as well as certain government agen-cies, and those opposed are increasing in both frequen-cy and volume. This latter group, those opposed, is made up primarily of well meaning and concerned individuals, environmental protection groups and a smattering of government departments and lobby groups. In this article we will take a look at what fracking is. How it is done and why. What is fracking?

Fracking is a slang term

for hydraulic fracturing or hydro-fracturing. It is de-scribed as the fracturing or breaking up of rock and more specifically, shale rock formations through the use of a pressurized liq-uid. Although sometimes used to increase the flow of water in water wells, hydraulic fracturing as it is referenced in this article refers to the fracturing of sedimentary shale rock formations to release the shale gas, tight gas, tight oil and coal seam oil deposits within.

Hydro-fracturing in the oil and gas industry involves the pumping, at very high pressure, of thou-sands of gallons of a liquid,

usually water along with a mix of silica sand and/or resin-coated sand, and/or man-made ceramics and a cocktail mix of other chemicals down an oil or gas wellbore. This pressur-ized mixture breaks up or fractures the surrounding rock formations creating fissures or cracks which enables the release of the trapped gas and oil. Once the initial fracturing of the rock is completed, the wa-ter is pumped out leaving the sand and chemicals, called proppant, trapped in these new rock fissures holding them open. This allows the flow of the oil or gas into the wellbore fa-cilitating capture in a more

effective and controlled manner.1 Usually shale oil formations only need to be hydraulically fractured once, while natural gas for-mations usually need to be fracked multiple times.Is hydro-fracking new?

Hydraulic fracturing is not a new process. Natu-ral hydraulic fractures are a common part of nature and include volcanic dikes, sills and fracturing by ice and frost weathering. Man-made hydraulic fracturing was first used in the United States in the late 1940’s. In Canada, the process has been in common use since at least the early 1950’s. It is also in widespread use in other oil and gas produc-ing countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Ger-many, Ireland, Poland, to list a few and more recently China. Its use was banned in France in mid 2011.2 For the past number of years, hydro-fracturing has made large reservoirs of shale natural gas, trapped in deeply buried rock, more readily accessible.

There are hydro-frac-turing oil and gas wells in both western and eastern Canada. Alberta and north-eastern British Columbia

account for the bulk of the country’s natural gas production thanks to the Western Canada Sedimen-tary Basin. More recently, amid very vocal protests, the government of New Brunswick announced that it will go ahead with shale gas exploration. In the U.S., the EPA estimates that shale gas production will account for 20 percent of the country’s total gas supply by 2020 and will amount to nearly half of all natural gas produced in the country by 2035.3, 4

What is shale natural gas?

Millions of years ago, during the Devonian period of the earth’s history, the shale rock formations from which we are now harvest-ing natural gas were being deposited as fine silt and clay particles at the bot-tom of relatively enclosed bodies of water. At roughly the same time, primitive plants were forming forests on land and the first am-phibians were making an appearance. Some of the methane that formed from the organic matter buried with the sediments es-caped into sandy rock lay-ers adjacent to the shales, forming conventional ac-cumulations of natural gas which were relatively easy to extract. But some of it remained locked in the tight, impermeable shale layers. Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world.5

Natural gas found in these rock layers is a mix-ture of light-end, flamma-ble hydrocarbons primarily composed of methane but also containing lesser per-centages of butane, ethane, propane, and other gases. It is odourless, colourless, and, when ignited, releas-es a significant amount of energy. Natural gas burns cleanly and emits smaller quantities of potentially harmful emissions than either coal or oil. It is the cleanest of all fossil fuels making it a very popular energy choice and an im-portant part of the world’s energy strategy.6

Shale formations nor-mally have limited abil-ity for gas or fluids to flow easily through and nor-mally require stimulation techniques to economically produce shale gas. Enter hydro-fracturing into the equation.7

How is shale gas collected?

Giant oil and gas drill

rigs have dotted the North American land-scape for decades. Their purpose, to drill down vertically, often to depths of between 6,000 (1828 m) to more than 14,000 feet (4267 m) to intersect the shale rock forma-tions. It is at these depths that the wellbore is bent or deviated and drilling now proceeds in a hori-zontal fashion within the shale layer. These horizontal wellbores can go in multiple directions and may be up to a mile or more in length (1.6 km). Each wellbore is lined with a metal cas-ing. Once all drilling has been completed, the well is prepared for hydraulic fracturing.

Beginning at the out-ward end of these long hor-izontal sections, segments of the wellbore are isolated, the casing perforated, and the thousands of gallons of a water/sand/chemical mix is pumped under extremely high pressure through the perforations. These pres-sures often reach upwards to thousands of pounds per square inch. The result, the shale cracks creating one or more fissures or frac-tures that extend hundreds of feet into the surround-ing rock. These fractures, usually only a fraction of an inch wide are held open by the residual sand once the pumping pressure is re-lieved allowing the trapped natural gas to be captured and pumped to the sur-face.5

It is estimated that as of 2013 at least two mil-lion oil and gas wells in the U.S. have been hydrauli-cally fractured. Hydrauli-cally fractured wells make up 43% of the oil and 67% of the current natural gas production in the United States.8 More than 175,000 oil and gas wells have been hydraulically fractured in Alberta and BC since the 1950s.9 bThis is part one of our two part series exploring the pros and cons of hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas industry. 1Fracking.ca2Reuters3Council of Canadians4CBC News5U.S. Department of Energy/NETL6Natural gas.org7Canadian Association of Pe-troleum Producers8US Department of Energy9Petroleum Services Associa-tion of Canada

Fracking? The Debate Rages OnAcross North America the debate over gas and oil well fracking is becoming louder by Ronald Mullins

Hydro-fracturing in the oil and gas industry involves the pumping, at very high pressure, of thousands of gallons of a liquid, usually water along with a mix of silica sand and/or resin-coated sand, and/or man-made ceramics and a cocktail mix of other chemicals down an oil or gas wellbore.

Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas, Inc., a leading earth moving equipment manufacturer, is pleased to announce the addition of the new R55-9A and R55W-9A mini ex-cavators to their 9A series product line. These two new machines will provide operators with enhanced features and benefits com-pared to prior models in-cluding a certified Tier 4 Final engine upgrade, improved hydraulics, in-creased operator comfort and added durability. The R55/55W-9A models are nimble machines providing plenty of power to get the job done and are ideal for rental, light construction, utility and landscape appli-cations.

The R55-9A has an op-

erating weight of 12,460 lbs (5,650 kg) and is powered by a reliable 65.1 HP (48.5 kW) Tier 4 Final Yanmar 4TNV98C engine. The R55W-9A has an operating weight of 12,240 lbs (5,550 kg) and is powered by a 65.1 HP (48.5 kW) Tier 4 Final, Yanmar 4TNV98 en-gine. The R55-9A boasts a dig depth of 12’6” (3,820 mm) and the R55W-9A has a dig depth of 11’6” (3,500 mm). Both machines fea-ture a bucket digging force of 8,490 lbf (37.7 kN) and bucket capacity of .24 cu-bic yards (.18 m3). A dozer blade comes standard for light grading, backfilling and for stability while ex-cavating.

Hyundai’s R55-9A is a track model with standard steel tracks and optional

rubber tracks. The R55W-9A is a wheeled model al-lowing for greater mobility.

To achieve optimum precision, Hyundai rede-signed the R55/55W-9A’s hydraulic system to pro-vide the operator with su-per fine touch and control-lability. Both models have an advanced hydraulic system including an arm flow summation system, boom holding system and a swing parking brake for smooth operation. Im-proved pump flow control minimizes fuel consump-tion and improved spool valves are engineered to provide more precise flow to each function with less effort. Enhanced hydraulic valves, precision-designed variable volume piston pumps, fine-touch pilot

controls and enhanced travel functions make for smooth and easy opera-tion. Boom-down flow re-generation and control valve technology are newly improved. Other valuable features include a hydrau-lic damper in the travel pedal and a hydraulically lubricated swing reducer with a leak-free grease chamber.

The R55/55W-9A ex-cavators have a spacious cabin that was built for maximum comfort. An ergonomically designed suspension seat and ad-justable arm rests help to minimize operator fatigue. Control levers are easily ac-cessible and an instrument display is provided to keep the operator informed of pertinent machine infor-mation. Large upper roof glass provides additional visibility and a roller shade is provided to reduce glare and sunlight. An advanced audio system with AM/FM stereo, USB player and re-

motely located control is perfect for listening to mu-sic. A hands-free cell phone function is also available for safe and convenient phone use. Ergonomically designed joysticks are pro-vided to reduce operator fa-tigue during the work day and multiple storage com-partments are available for additional convenience.

An advanced LCD dis-play allows the operator to select personal machine preferences and monitor crucial machine date in-cluding engine rpm, engine oil temperature, water tem-perature and information for all electronic devices. Button selections are pro-vided for auto idle mode, max power mode and travel speed. A security feature is also provided to prevent the machine from starting without a proper password.

Structure strength has been improved on the

R55/55W-9A excavators. The cabin structure has been fitted with stronger but slimmer tubing for more safety and improved visibility. Low-stress, high strength steel is integrally welded to form a stronger, more durable upper and lower frame. Structural integrity was tested using the Finite Elements Method (FEM) analysis and long-term durability tests.

Hyundai’s R55/55W-9A excavators were built for added durability. Both models are equipped with counterweight rear guards to protect the engine hood. A boom cylinder cover provides added protection from the toughest of work-ing conditions. Addition-ally, long life hydraulic filters, hydraulic oil, shims and bushings are provided, which help to extend ser-vice intervals, minimize downtime and reduce op-erating costs over time. b

Hyundai Launches New R55-9A And R55W-9A Excavators

CASE Construction Equipment introduces the new CASE 1221F wheel loader, the newest and largest model in the com-pany’s F Series wheel loader line. Designed with an 11.9-liter Tier 4 Interim-certified engine that deliv-ers up to 355 horsepower (265 kilowatts), the CASE 1221F is built for heavy earthmoving and loading applications such as those encountered in aggregate and mining operations. En-hancements to the engine and transmission at maxi-mum travel speed allow for increases in productivity of at least 18 percent and fuel efficiency of at least 8 per-cent.

The CASE 1221F is powered by a cooled ex-haust gas recirculation (CEGR) engine with Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Diesel Particulate Fil-ter (DPF). This provides clean burning power and increased torque com-pared to previous models. Improved side panel air flow and cleaner direct air flow combine to ensure extended service intervals and component life. A new

mission with a lockup torque converter, open-differential axles and advanced system pro-gramming for addition-al fuel savings.

•Open rear-axel and locking front-axel for outstanding traction.

•Excellent operator safe-ty and productivity, in-cluding a larger cab; a full glass door; an un-obstructed view to both edges of the bucket and a sloping hood that pro-vides clear vision to the rear; a quiet cab with a 73 decibel rating; a dual air filtration sys-tem for cleaner air; a fully adjustable, heated, and cloth-covered air-suspension seat; ergo-nomically positioned controls with optional joystick steering; and a rearview, wide-angle camera with an adjust-able color monitor.

•A new coupler system that pulls the bucket closer to the machine for enhanced breakout force. It also includes the CASE SmartFitTM bucket tooth system that provides stronger,

power shift transmission with transmission mode settings allows the operator to set the transmission to the specific application for optimal productivity and performance.

The 1221F wheel loader has an operating weight of 66,800 pounds (30,300 kilograms) and comes with a range of buckets from 6.3 to 7.8 cubic yards. With a 6.8 cubic-yard bucket, the breakout force with tilt cylinder is 55,730 pounds. The machine is available in standard Z-bar and extended-reach (XR) con-figurations. Additional highlights include: •Four programmable

power modes to save fuel and increase avail-able power. A dual-mode shutdown feature helps maximize fuel economy and monitor vital engine compo-nents.

•Standard four-speed transmission with man-ual kick-down for maxi-mum traction, as well as superior bucket pen-etration. Also available is a five-speed trans-

more durable teeth and adapters, and hammer-less reusable locking pins to improve digging performance.

•Easily accessible daily service points and drain valves. The fuel fill point, cooling fan and radiator assembly have also been moved to en-sure effective cleanouts and eliminate down-time.

ProCare and SiteWatch Drive Lower Operating Costs and Improved Equipment Management

The 1221F comes standard with CASE Pro-Care: a suite of product assurances that includes a three-year Advanced CASE SiteWatch telemat-ics subscription, a three-year/3,000-hour full-ma-chine factory warranty, and a three-year/3,000-hour planned mainte-nance contract. ProCare allows fleets to grow with confidence as operating and repair costs are com-pletely predictable for the first three years of own-ership. SiteWatch further provides actionable data that allows fleet manag-ers and owners to make better business decisions related to equipment uti-lization, maintenance ac-tivities and overall man-agement. It also serves as an excellent tool to help identify unauthorized use and unproductive operat-ing practices. b
