Automatic Greasing Systems specialist FLO Components Ltd. has an-nounced the schedule for its 2013-2014 Lube Basics Seminars. Scheduled cities will include London, Mis-sissauga, Ottawa and Sud-bury.

In a study conducted by a major component manu-facturer, improper lubri-cation accounts for 53% of all bearing failures, a major cause of equipment downtime and significant unnecessary maintenance costs. According to FLO’s Marketing Specialist Ga-briel Lopez, “FLO Lube Ba-

sics Seminars are designed to help you avoid common lubrication failures by turn-ing your personnel into ‘Lubrication Specialists’.”

“Each 1-day Seminar will have a balance of the-ory and practical — 50% of the time will be your traditional in-class training, 50% will be more ‘hands on’ training. These semi-nars are designed and pre-sented as an unbiased, 3rd party, vendor neutral lubri-cation training program — we don’t bring people there to sell them on our prod-ucts, we teach them what they need to know about

dealing with everyday lu-brication issues, so when they apply what they learn, their payoff is immediate and permanent.”

Some of the topics to be covered in the seminars in-clude:• Basic principles of fric-

tion/wear, lubricants and lubricant types,

• Grease properties/com-patibility/applications,

• Introduction to manual lubrication (fittings, cali-brating grease guns, etc),

• Lubricant handling/transfer and storage pro-cedures,

• General Automatic Lube System operation, in-spection and trouble-shooting procedures.More information on the

seminars can be found on FLO’s website: www.flocomponents.com. b

A large coalition of leading Canadian environ-mental groups, the Green Budget Coalition (GBC), recently unveiled their fi-nal recommendations for the federal government’s 2014 budget. The GBC’s feature recommendations offer a way for Canada to ‘green’ its budget without adding a nickel to the fed-eral debt.

The GBC represents fourteen of Canada’s lead-ing environmental and conservation organizations. The GBC’s three feature recommendations for Bud-get 2014 — reducing subsi-dies to the oil and gas and mining sectors, implement-ing the national conserva-tion plan, and protecting Canada’s fresh water — would create important en-vironmental, economic and human health benefits, and also provide direct and on-going net financial savings for the federal government.

“These recommenda-tions are prime opportunities for the Government to real-

ize its Throne Speech goal that ‘We must seize this mo-ment to secure prosperity, for Canadians now, and the generations to follow’,” said GBC Chair George Finney, the President of Bird Studies Canada.

The GBC’s final recom-mendations also highlight ten complementary op-portunities for the federal government. These in-clude sustainable energy for northern and remote communities, energy stor-age, infrastructure resil-ience and infrastructure for First Nations communities, achieving Canada’s climate target, global climate ac-tion, electric vehicles, lia-bility regimes for the Arctic offshore and nuclear pow-er, science capacity, and principles and strategies for a green economy and sus-tainable Canada.

With Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Minister of State (Finance) Kevin Sorenson hosting pre-bud-get consultations across Canada this month, GBC

representatives will be meeting this week with key policymakers, leading MPs and senior government offi-cials, to discuss these Bud-get 2014 recommendations.

“These recommenda-tions provide the chance to honour Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017 by creating transformative progress towards an envi-ronmentally sustainable, prosperous Canada,” ex-plained GBC Manager An-drew Van Iterson.About the Green Budget Coalition

The Green Budget Co-alition, active since 1999, brings together the col-lective expertise of four-teen of Canada’s leading environmental and con-servation organizations, including Bird Studies Canada, Canadian Envi-ronmental Law Associa-tion, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, David Suzuki Foundation, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Ecojus-tice Canada, Ecology Ac-tion Centre, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace Cana-da, International Institute for Sustainable Develop-ment, Nature Canada, Na-ture Conservancy of Cana-da, Pembina Institute, and WWF-Canada. b

Kobelco Construction Machinery’s fast paced growth has resulted in expedited plans to build a permanent U.S.-based headquarters. The compa-ny originally anticipated to build within five years, but started making it a priority this summer, scouting and selecting a location before the close of their first busi-ness year.

The company recently broke ground on their new facility in Katy, Texas, hav-ing signed a nine-year lease agreement with plans to occupy the building by Sep-tember 2014. This new, ex-pansive 101,300 square- foot facility will not only serve as Kobelco’s North Ameri-can headquarters, but also as the company’s training centre and parts distribution location for all of the United States, Canada and Latin America. The investment being made in this build-ing by Kobelco signifies the company’s long-term com-mitment to the North Ameri-can marketplace.

According to Ron Har-grave, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kobelco Construction Ma-chinery USA, “The new fa-cility being built will allow us to continue our rapid growth. We are pleased to once again be offering our products as an indepen-dent brand and are work-ing diligently to ensure Kobelco positions itself to gain continued market share moving forward. We are driven by passion to be a market leader of crawler excavators.”

Further supporting the company’s long-term commitment to the North American market is its significant investment in ConExpo/ConAgg 2014. A 165-foot x 210-foot out-door exhibit in silver lot booth #4408, will mark the company’s homecoming to the show as an indepen-dent brand after a 10-year hiatus. The exhibit will not only feature Kobelco’s pop-ular line of crawler excava-tors, but also a new line of

demolition machines. In addition to equipment, the booth has been designed to create a memorable ex-perience for attendees, one the company hopes their dealers, customers and prospective customers will remember for many years to come.

“We’ve been planning our ConExpo exhibit for quite some time,” stated Jordan Lumpkins, Market-ing Manager for Kobelco Construction Machinery USA. “Our booth is cel-ebratory in nature. The show’s audience will allow us to communicate the Ko-belco story to customers, the media and prospective customers from around the world, while offering visi-tors the ability to kick the tires and get into the op-erator seats of some of our most popular models. ”

According to the com-pany, when Kobelco Con-struction Machinery USA relaunched its popular line of crawler excavators as an independent brand earlier this year, it never imagined how quickly they’d rees-tablish a footing in North America. The signing of more than 50 dealers in its first six months drove a sig-

nificant demand for Kobel-co excavators, a demand that Kobelco worldwide has diligently worked to support throughout 2013, and one that has helped the company regain market share within its first year of independent operation.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the early re-sults of our brand relaunch” said Pete Morita, President and CEO of Kobelco Con-struction Machinery USA. “In just a short time pe-riod we’ve hired some of the industry’s most quali-

fied personnel, opened our temporary headquarters and parts warehouse and partnered with our dealers to provide quality, compet-itively priced products. All of these initiatives are just the beginning of what we have planned for the North American marketplace.”

Kobelco Construction Machinery USA is dedicat-ed to producing a full range of crawler excavators in the 3,000 pound to 180,000 pound classes for the rent-al, landscape, construc-tion, aggregate, roadbuild-ing, material handling,

site preparation, recycling and ancillary markets, in-cluding zero tail swing, standard, long-reach and compact models. Kobelco is well-known worldwide as excavator perfectionists for its steadfast focus on improving and enhancing its singular line of prod-ucts. Kobelco machines are well-regarded for their advanced technologies, in-cluding an innovative noise and dust reduction system, advanced hydraulic circuit-ry for reduction of pressure loss and superior fuel effi-ciency. b

JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation company and manufac-turer of aerial work plat-forms and telescopic mate-rial handlers, has won the SolutionFest Best Mobile Solution award from The eLearning Guild for its “In-troduction to JLG Scissor Lifts” course.

The award was an-nounced at the Guild’s Learning Solutions Con-ference & Expo 2013, held earlier this year in Orlando, Fla. More than 40 confer-ence participants, includ-ing JLG, showed off their latest development efforts, giving attendees an oppor-tunity to see a wide vari-ety of eLearning solutions. Attendees then voted on the best entries in each of eight categories, as well as best vendor and best non-vendor.

In addition to JLG, award winners includ-ed Toys “R” Us, AARP, UMass Memorial Health Care, CarMax, American Red Cross, State College of

Florida Manatee-Sarasota, Serco Inc., Articulate and North Carolina Community Colleges. JLG’s mobile so-lution was developed by Artisan E-Learning, a con-tractor based in Jackson-ville, Fla.

The “Introduction to JLG Scissor Lifts” course describes scissor lifts manufactured by JLG, the history of scissor lifts, their typical applications and the basic types of scissor lifts. The 25-min-ute course is designed for all levels of scissor lift users, from sales and service to operators and parts personnel, and can be used on the sales floor, in the maintenance area and at client sites.

“The eLearning Guild is an industry organiza-tion that’s well known in the training world, so win-ning one of their awards is a very coveted achieve-ment,” said Rick Smith, JLG Industries Senior Di-rector of Product Training. “Our innovative solution

can be used on comput-ers and mobile devices by hundreds of sales and maintenance staff around the world.”

The course is one of several online training opportunities available through JLG University, a comprehensive education-al program designed to de-liver training online while managing class enrolments and training records.

According to its web-site, the eLearning Guild is the oldest and most trusted source of infor-mation, networking and community for eLearning professionals. As a mem-ber-driven organization, the guild produces confer-ences, online events, eB-ooks, research reports and Learning Solutions maga-zine. The Guild’s goal is to create a place where eLearning professionals can share their knowl-edge, expertise and ideas to build a better industry – and better learning ex-periences – for everyone. The Guild has over 53,000 members worldwide.

Wacker Neuson host-ed its second annual contracted dealer sum-mit at the company’s North American manu-facturing facility and corporate headquarters in Menomonee Falls, Wisc., Oct. 1-3, 2013. The highlights of the event included the much anticipated unveiling of Wacker Neuson’s new skid-steer line for the North American market and the chance for one lucky dealer to win the first unit off the produc-tion line.

Over 150 people rep-resenting 100 companies from the United States

and Canada gathered in Wacker Neuson’s manu-facturing plant to hear Christopher Barnard, President and CEO of Wacker Neuson Corp., explain the strategy for the development and production of the skid steer product line. As Barnard explained, “We have the vision, com-mitment and execution to complete this critical piece of the puzzle for our product line. With the addition of our new skid-steer line, we can now offer dealers the most comprehensive and competitively unique line of light and compact

equipment in the indus-try.”

Barnard unveiled the new skid and track load-ers after explaining to the dealers and employ-ees that many options were considered to bring a quality skid-steer line to the market, conclud-ing with, “Wacker Neu-son decided for its own development in order to control the design, the manufacturing, the qual-ity, and the cost, which will benefit us all. We are confident that these new models will exem-plify the quality and du-rability that the indus-try associates with the

Wacker Neuson brand,” Barnard said.

Wacker Neuson has more than 10 years of ex-perience in designing and manufacturing skid steer loaders for the European market. “The require-ments of the customers in the U.S. are different and North America is the biggest skid-steer market in the world. That’s the reason why we decided to design a product line for this important mar-ket”, said Martin Lehner, CTO of Wacker Neuson SE.

The design of the SSL models will be done jointly between Wacker Neuson’s facility in Ho-ersching, Austria and Menomonee Falls, Wis., USA. The new models will officially hit the mar-ket at CONEXPO, March 4-8, 2014, in Las Vegas with two skid steer and two track loaders offered in a variety of packages and price ranges to fit the North American market.

After getting their first look at the SSL product line, the machines were moved to the dirt where dealers could operate the machines. “These machines look and feel robust and tough,” said Sam Eaton, Vice Presi-dent and General Man-ager, Knickerbocker Russell Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. “It’s a nice looking machine and was very

responsive, comfortable with easy to reach con-trols. The 75-horsepower engine had all the pow-er it needed. The cab is ergonomically pleasing and the best I’ve ever seen. It took only a few minutes to get the hang of it.” Eaton said.

Jeff Barnes, CEO of Barnsco, Dallas, Texas,

said, “We were looking for a quality skid-steer to go into our rental line and this certainly fits that requirement. It is a well-designed, comfort-able unit that is capable of meeting the demands of any job.”

A real highlight of the two-day dealer event was the opportunity for an attendee of the meet-

ing to enter a drawing to win the first machine off the production line. The winner was Ryan Ouye, General Manager, Ser-vice Rentals and Supply, Maui, Hi. As a result of his win, Ouye and his company will also give back to the community. He explained, “The win-ning skid steer will go into our rental fleet and half of the rental revenue will be donated to a local non-profit. Our employ-ees will be able to choose which organization will receive the donation.”

Extended runtimes, im-proved weather-resistance and novel, cost-saving production methods were enough to earn an indus-try innovation award for the new Flashing Beacon signaling devices launched in 2013 by North America Traffic Inc.

The Association of Ro-tational Molders recently named the Flashing Beacon as “Product of the Year” at its annual conference, and

awarded this prize to Res-craft Plastic Products Inc., the firm retained by North America Traffic to design and produce the new poly-ethylene housing of the beacons.

Todd Stone, CEO of Re-scraft, explained that the North America Traffic bea-cons represent a significant step forward, not only for this type of signaling de-vice in the industry, but

for the rotational molding process.

“Rotational molding has inherent advantages over other processes, especially for saving costs in lower volume production runs. With these housings, we have shown that creative design can make rotational molding a viable option for smaller and more complex products.”Creative solution for back-up battery power

At North America Traf-fic, the goal was simply to improve on the capabili-ties and durability of other Flashing Beacon products in the market. Jordan Sher-lock, Vice President of Cor-porate Services at North America Traffic, said that Rescraft was given the as-

signment as a result of their success with previous proj-ects. “We wanted some original thinking to help us create a polyethylene housing that would repre-sent a new state-of-the-art process. We recognized the problem-solving capa-bility at Rescraft, and they proved they were the right partner.”

The new housing con-tains all the electronic con-trols and the battery pack for North America Traffic’s solar-powered beacons. A key feature of the housing is its battery compartment, which minimizes contact to the battery itself, insulat-ing it against the effects of the weather. “Cold is the enemy of battery power,” says Sherlock. “This hous-ing gives us a significant

improvement in the flash-ers’ run time through sun-less periods, especially in winter climates. The plastic material also outlasts steel, providing more durable resistance to wet weather and other environmental factors.”Design for efficient production

The housing’s develop-ment was a highly collabor-ative process, progressively adapting to new ideas and goals. “It was originally go-ing to be a series of hous-ings, in various sizes,” Todd Stone recalls. “We were able to get it down to a “one size fits all” design. The final step was finding a way to produce it with the box and lid integrated into one piece.” With that goal accomplished, tooling costs for the housing were re-duced by as much as 50% from previous designs.

North America Traf-fic’s 4-Season Beacons are utilized in a wide range of settings, typically in tandem with traffic signs such as school zone cross-ings, crosswalks, and stop signs. The Flashing Bea-cons will operate in envi-ronments with up to 90% humidity and in tempera-



Wireless features allow remote control of the beacons as well as programmed synchronization of multiple beacons.

tures ranging from -40 to +85 C. Furthermore, a stop sign warning beacon, flashing 24/7 can oper-ate continuously for up to 30 days without sunlight. The controller includes sensors that conserve power by adjusting the LED light intensity with changing lighting condi-tions. Programmable cir-cuits also allow operators to adjust settings for the flasher’s hours and days

of operation. Wireless fea-tures allow remote control of the beacons as well as programmed synchroniza-tion of multiple beacons.Future prospects for solar technology

With its ability to safely house sensitive electron-ics in any climate, North America Traffic and Res-craft are now exploring ad-ditional applications using solar-powered technology to drive a wide array of sensors and communica-

tions.“This housing will not

just help North America Traffic to reinforce its name in the market,” says Sherlock, “it will keep our name visible out in the field. The final tooling em-bosses our logo right into the plastic – we expect this design to greatly outlast traditional metal housings! So we’re very pleased to see the Rescraft name get some well-deserved recog-nition with this award.” b

The Canadian Construc-tion Documents Committee (CCDC) has published two new design-build contract forms, CCDC 14 and CCDC 15, now available in the VRCA Online Store. These two new design-build con-tracts have been endorsed by the Canadian Design-Build Institute.

CCDC 14 is a standard prime contract between the Owner and the Design-Builder where the Design-Builder provides the De-sign Services and performs the Work under one agree-ment, for a single, pre-determined stipulated or fixed price.

In addition to the com-mon contract terms and conditions for construction projects, CCDC 14 clearly defines the roles and re-sponsibilities of the Owner and the Design-Builder. CCDC 14 also identifies and describes the roles of other parties such as the Consultant and Payment Certifier as well as Owner’s Advisor, if any.About CCDC 15

CCDC 15 is a standard contract between the De-sign-Builder and Consul-tant to perform the Design Services required under a design-build contract be-tween the Owner and De-sign-Builder.

Based on an approach similar to standard client-consultant contracts (i.e. RAIC Document Six and

ACEC 31), CCDC 15 lists all the basic design ser-vices that are considered necessary in a design-build contract. These design ser-vices are listed in a Sched-ule, which allows flexibility for the Design-Builder and Consultant to establish the scope of services and com-pensation method.

CCDC 15 also includes a schedule that lists typical additional design services that the Consultant may be required to provide.About CCDC

The Canadian Con-struction Documents Committee (CCDC) is a na-tional committee respon-sible for the development, production and review of standard Canadian con-struction contracts, forms and guides. Formed in 1974, the CCDC is made up of volunteer owner representatives from pub-lic and private sectors, as well as appointed volun-teer members of the four constituent organizations (ACEC, CCA, CSC and RAIC). A lawyer from the Canadian Bar Association, construction law section, sits as an ex-officio mem-ber of the committee. All CCDC documents carry endorsement of the four national constituent orga-nizations.

With commercial vehi-cle technology advancing and expanding the use of air for non-braking func-tions, the experts at Ben-dix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC stress the importance of protecting air systems from contami-nation to ensure longevity and performance. As part of its Bendix Tech Tips series, Bendix offers pre-ventive maintenance and troubleshooting insight on air dryer systems and some of their key compo-nents.

“Systems that can be impacted by excessive oil or moist air – from the air brakes to the engine, emission, and drivetrain systems – are susceptible to failure when that air is contaminated,” said Rick Conklin, Bendix product line director, Air Treat-ment. “These systems of-ten include technologies that improve productivity and fuel economy, or that are required to meet emis-sions regulations. Protect-ing them is important to

keep vehicles on the road, increase their service cy-cles, and reduce mainte-nance costs.”

An overall air dryer system check should be-gin with opening the drain valves on the reservoirs to check for moisture in the system. If moisture is present, verify that no ex-ternal air has been applied to the system, and check the air dryer’s service data sheet to confirm that the air dryer is mounted in the correct location with the correct discharge line length.

If external air was ap-plied, drain all reservoirs and purge tanks, restart the vehicle, and allow sys-tem pressure to build to the governor cutout pres-sure. Verify that the proper system pressure has been reached, then operate the vehicle normally. Recheck for water in the reservoirs after one week.

If an issue with the air dryer mounting or plumb-ing is encountered, have it corrected, and ensure that

the discharge line from the compressor to the air dryer slopes continuously down-ward to the air dryer inlet, with no water traps.

Also remember to take into account any significant temperature changes with-in the previous 24 hours. Ambient temperature shifts of greater than 30 degrees Fahrenheit can cause a temporary accumulation of moisture. If a significant temperature change oc-curred, continue to oper-ate the vehicle under nor-mal conditions. The small amount of water that may have condensed due to the temperature shift will be reabsorbed by the dry air once the vehicle is in oper-ation. Check the air system again after one week.

Whether moisture is present in the system or not, check all the air lines for damage such as chaf-ing, and examine the air dryer mounting bolts for tightness and torque as specified in the manufac-turer’s service data sheet.

Within the air dryer sys-tem, there are three key components to monitor: the air dryer cartridge, the purge valve, and the deliv-ery check valve.Air Dryer Cartridge Maintenance

Depending on voca-tion, Bendix recommends a one-, two-, or three-year air dryer cartridge replace-ment on vehicles equipped with a Bendix compressor.• One year or 100,000

miles: Severe service ap-plications such as resi-dential refuse trucks or school buses

• Two years or 200,000 miles: Pickup and deliv-ery operations; double- and tripletrailer line haul trucks

• Three years or 300,000 miles: Line haul opera-tions using a single trailerRecommended intervals

for trucks equipped with non-Bendix compressors are six months (50,000 miles), one year (100,000 miles), and two years (200,000 miles), respec-tively.

More frequent intervals may be required depending on a vehicle’s age, com-pressor condition, and op-erating environment.

For better air dryer per-formance and increased system protection, Bendix recommends using an oil-coalescing cartridge like the Bendix PuraGuard. Oil can be particularly harmful to air systems, deteriorat-ing seals – which can cause leaks – and contributing to

premature damage in a va-riety of other components such as push-pull dash valves, spring brake modu-lating valves, and brake chamber diaphragms.

Standard cartridges may be replaced with oil-coalescing cartridges, but fleets should always change out oil-coalescing cartridges with like replace-ments. Additionally, fleets need to beware of low-cost and counterfeit cartridges, which are not as effective as OEM equipment.Purge Valve Issues and Replacement

As a best practice in pre-ventive maintenance, Ben-dix recommends replacing the purge valve assembly whenever the air dryer car-tridge is replaced. This will address several potential purge valve issues, includ-ing:• Air leakage or lack of

pressure building due to purge valve seal wear

• “Popping” of the purge valve due to intermittent sticking

• Loss of engine turbo-charger boost during the purge cycle due to leak-age in the turbo cutoff valve

Delivery Check Valve Issues and Replacement

Signs that the system’s

delivery check valve is in need of replacement in-clude a lack of pressure buildup due to the valve sticking in the closed posi-tion, and rapid cycling or loss of pressure during the purge cycle caused by a leaky valve.

Bendix recommends replacing the air dryer sys-tem’s delivery check valve with every other cartridge replacement.

“Keeping an air system operating properly is criti-cal – but it doesn’t have to be complicated,” Conklin said. “By understanding the system’s key compo-nents, installing oilcoalesc-ing air dryer cartridges, and following a regular mainte-nance schedule, fleets can keep their vehicles on the road, operating safely and generating revenue.”

Bendix provides com-mercial fleets, technicians, and drivers with the tools they need to ensure safe operation through assess-ment, maintenance, and repair. The Bendix On-Line

Brake School at www.brake-school.com provides access to the company’s knowledge database and technical resources on all aspects of electronics and air brake maintenance and product education. b
