Tired of spending thousands of dollars for parts that break down on your CAT/ASV Multi-Terrain Loader? Are you missing rubber drive lugs on the track or have plastic/rubber idler and bogie wheels that wear out quickly? Bair Products, Inc. has solved your problems with their line of aftermarket heavy-duty undercarriage components that will outlast the life of your current OEM parts with reduced repair costs, minimal down time,and the ability to fix problems in the field within minutes.

REBUILDABLE AXLE HOUSINGS.

Introduced January 2011, for CAT 267/277/287 and ASV 100. These axle hous-ings come already filled with grease and a shield-ed grease zerk for easy access. They will not con-dense water which means no more corrosion on the bearings. Idler Axles will have a dual bearing upgrade to increase its durability over common OEM axle failures. Seals are purgeable allowing the, end user to know when the housing is full.

Axles are sold individually for use with OEM wheels and/or Bair's upgraded solid alloy Idler wheels or can be bought as a complete set with only Bair's alloy wheels for complete durability and strength.

TRACK TENSIONERS. Tired of adjusting that old jack screw with wrenches and torches? Save time and money with Bair Product’s grease-gun operated hydraulic track tensioner. It 's ready to install in minutes with no modifications. After installation, tension is adjusted by using a grease gun that keeps the cylinder tight.

ELECTRIC THROTTLE GROUP. Tired of your cables and foot throttle sticking on your machine? Convert your machine into an electric throttle controlling the R.P.M. with a toggle switch. No more stuck cables and could work as a nice anti-theft device. Installs easily and quickly.

FRONT/REAR IDLER & BOGIE WHEELS. These heavy duty aluminum alloy wheels have been made to withstand the daily use of your multi-terrain loader. The wheels will wear evenly over time where rubber/plastic wheels wear out on the inner/outer sides, taking the look of a bicycle tire and wearing a groove into the track. Bair Product’s alloy wheels will not have “chunks or will be split” like the rubber OEM wheels. Some wheels come with grease fittings into the wheel to help keep bearings lubricated at all times, saving the operator down time.

AFTER MARKET RUBBER TRACKS. Why pay high, marked up prices for rubber tracks from the dealers? Save money buying the same quality track that is also Kevlar reinforced for durability for less money than the expensive equipment dealers.

“LARRY LUGS” PATENTED BOLT-ON REPLACEMENT DRIVE LUGS.Don’t throw away your track due to missing drive lugs. Larry Lugs are heavy-duty lugs that bolt onto the track in place of rubber lugs that have broken, worn, or delaminated off the track, extending the life of the track. These revolutionary lugs will outlive the track itself. Ten minutes to install in the field or shop without removing the track. Simply grind off the old lug, place a template onto the track, and drill directly into the template and track to match up your bolt holes. Using an air impact, tighten the bolts into the lug. Larry Lugs can replace all the original lugs on a track. When the life of the track is finished, remove the Larry Lugs and reinstall on different tracks. Pat #7,625,050.

BOMAG Introduces Economizer Technology for Mid-Sized BW138AD-5 Tandem RollerBringing compaction measurement technology to mid-

size tandem vibratory rollers for the first time, BOMAG

introduces the new Economizer as an optional feature on its

BW138AD-5 roller. The Economizer system saves time and

money by providing operators with real-time data, thereby

allowing continuous control of the compaction process.

The BW138AD-5 Economizer uses an acceleration sensor

to measure the stiffness of the target material across the

entire compacted area. Data from the sensor is instantly

displayed via a series of ten yellow LED lights on the roller’s

instrument panel. The number of illuminated lights on

the LED display increases in conjunction with increased

compaction levels, allowing the operator to quickly react

to changing conditions and ultimately produce smooth,

consistent compaction results.

The Economizer signifies that maximum compaction has

been achieved when the number of illuminated lights does

not increase with subsequent roller passes. This technology

effectively saves time and money by helping operators avoid

making additional passes beyond the point of optimal

compaction. Additionally, a red LED light on the display

warns of potential over-compaction, thereby preventing

fractured aggregate. A sudden drop in the number of lit

LED lights indicates a weak spot in the material, allowing

operators to immediately analyze and remedy that

particular area of the project.

Powered by a Tier 4i 45.3-horsepower, water-cooled

Kubota diesel engine, the BW138AD-5 delivers a maximum

centrifugal force of 10,800 pounds. Offering a working

width of 54.3 inches, the roller includes larger 35.4-inch

diameter drums and provides dual vibration frequencies

of 3,480 or 2,820 vpm for more efficient compaction

and better surface quality results. Additionally, the

roller’s bolt-on oscillating and articulating joint improves

maneuverability by allowing the rear drum to follow the

same path as the front drum while turning.

A suspended and vibration-isolated operator’s platform

includes a fully adjustable seat for added comfort, while

allowing clear visibility of the drums. Operator efficiency is

enhanced with multifunctional dual travel levers and Smart

Drive steering wheel that provides more working room and

a full view of all machine controls.

The BW138AD-5 is equipped with a pressure water

sprinkler system that includes a high-capacity 81.9-gallon

water tank for extended operation intervals between refills.

Filtered spray nozzles and automatic interval sprinkler

control contribute to water savings, while solid windscreens

ensure that the drums receive sufficient coverage even in

windy conditions. Flexible, spring-actuated scrapers further

contribute to optimum water distribution.

Requiring no daily grease points, the roller is very easy to

maintain. Its durable composite hood allows efficient access

to the engine, while modern circular instrumentation on

the dashboard includes warning signals, an hour meter

and a fuel level indicator. Accessible lashing rings, a single

lifting point and integrated towing hook combine to make

transport easy and reduce unloading times.

Standard safety features on the BW138AD-5 include

foldable ROPS with seat belt, back-up alarm, emergency

stop button, and front and rear working lights for night

operation. The roller’s engine hood and instrument panel

are also lockable to protect against vandalism.

New Cat® E Series Hammers for Medium and Large Excavators Deliver Enhanced Durability, Easy Operation and MaintenanceCaterpillar has added three new models to the E Series

Hammer line—H140Es, H160Es and H180Es—for use on

medium and large excavators. Cat® E Series Hammers

feature a rugged design for extended durability and solid

reliability, and features such as automatic shut-off, silencing

and vibration buffering make them easy on the operator.

The E Series Hammers are designed to be field serviceable

with common hand tools to keep them operating at peak

performance.

Cat hammers are wholly designed, engineered and

manufactured by Caterpillar and are an optimum match

to Cat carriers. The three new hammers match up with Cat

excavators ranging from the 324E to the 374D L. Mounting

brackets are available for Cat quick couplers. The energy

classes of the H140Es, H160Es and H18Es are 6,000 ft-lb

(8,135 J), 8,500 ft-lb (11,525 J) and 12,000 ft-lb (16,270 J),

respectively.

E Series Hammers feature a new symmetrical housing

design, which allows rotating the housing 180 degrees to

compensate for wear, effectively extending the life of the

housing. The lower portion incorporates rock edges that add

protection to the housing and enable quick positioning of

boulders. An optional wear package is available to further

hammer. One-piece side plates eliminate points where

cracks can start. The hammers are fully supported by

Cat dealers so that customers can work with a single

organization for machine and work tool parts and service.

The E Series Hammers build on the proven D Series

Hammers, which the new hammers replace. Those features

include automatic shut-off, which instantly stops the

hammer when the tool breaks through material. The system

increases hammer reliability and durability by eliminating

the high internal stresses created by blank firing. Another

feature continued in each E Series Hammer is the external

pressure control valve, which reduces service time when an

adjustment is necessary. Sound suppression is standard for

environmental protection and enhanced operator comfort.

Caterpillar hammer settings are preprogrammed in Cat

excavator tool control systems for easy set up. The oil

flow and pressure are fully adjustable in the tool control

program. Also, actual hammer working hours can be

recorded for routine maintenance purposes.

plow through tall grass, tough brush and woody material.

The flail blades are easy to sharpen and are double sided for

extra longevity.

PECO’s brush cutter features easy-to-use controls for

smooth, safe operation. Two levers for speed and steering

operate similar to a zero-turn mower. An operator presence

safety switch requires pressure to run the engine, ensuring

operator safety during use. The self-propelled unit has

infinitely variable speeds up to 5 mph, making operation

efficient and easy – even when clearing steep ditches or

rough terrain.

The Brush Blazer features a hydrostatic track drive system

for smooth, efficient operation in a variety of terrains

Western Introduces the ProdigyTM Multi-Position Winged Snow PlowThe Western Prodigy snow plow thinks for itself –

delivering multi-position winged plow performance in a

unit that’s as easy to operate as a straight blade. Thanks to

its patented mechanical wing design the Western Prodigy

automatically positions its wings to deliver maximum

plowing efficiency whether in straight-ahead scoop mode or

when angled for windrowing.

The Prodigy plow is available for both truck and skid-

steer loader applications. “When positioned for straight-

ahead plowing, both wings automatically angle forward,

defaulting to a ‘scoop’ position that clears an 8-foot 7-inch

swath,” said Doug Clark, Western Products Product

Manager.

As the blade angles left or right for windrowing, the heavy-

duty coil compression springs and cable assembly pull the

trailing wing back until it aligns with the moldboard while

the leading wing remains angled forward to capture more

snow and clear a 7-foot 10-inch swath. “With the leading

wing angled forward for windrowing,” said Clark, “you’ll

maximize windrowing efficiency since you can take a bigger

bite on every pass with minimum spill-off.”

Standard truck-mounted Prodigy plow features include

the Western Fleet Flex electrical system for true fleet

interchangeability with programmable features like

“soft-stop”, “one-touch float” and the Security Guard™

anti-theft system. Prodigy also incorporates the enhanced

UltraMount® 2 mounting system with its new one-piece

frame design for added strength and durability – providing

simple mechanical hook-up with an exclusive rotating pivot

bar for accurate drive-in alignment on uneven terrain.

New Wirtgen WR 240i Sets High Standards for Recycling, StabilizationThe new Wirtgen WR 240i recycler/stabilizer sets new

standards for soil stabilization and pavement recycling

or reclamation, while meeting U.S. Tier 4i emissions

regulations.

With a 6-cylinder Cummins engine rated at 600 hp, this

next-generation Wirtgen cold recycler/stabilizer is not only

extremely powerful, but also covers a correspondingly large

range of applications utilizing a working width of 7 ft., 10 in.

and maximum working depth of 20 in.

As a soil stabilizer, the WR 240i efficiently stabilizes large

areas of incohesive soils, whether on large construction

sites, or highway rights-of-way, and utilizing any stabilizing

medium.

And as a cold recycler, it can recycle 100 percent of existing

deteriorated asphalt pavements in situ. Water, cement

or lime slurry, asphalt emulsion or foamed asphalt can

be utilized, the latter created inside the W 240i’s mixing

chamber.

Numerous new features put it at the top of the class in

terms of efficiency and economy. Machine output has been

optimized by a muscular power plant with high torque

reserves, yet engine power is transmitted directly and

effectively. Nine different rotor speeds guarantee optimum

mixing performance, aided also by ultramodern computer-

controlled metering technology with automatic monitoring

to ensure exactly the right mix.

A spacious modern cabin with camera system and a driver’s

seat that can be turned through 90 degrees ensure that

the machine operator always has a clear all-round view

of the machine and the job site. The cabin – with its large

windows – can be displaced beyond the right-hand edge

of the machine, permitting a perfect and direct view of the

milled edge.

All-wheel steering and a separate steering angle on the rear

axle ensure an extremely small turning radius, permitting

swift maneuvering at the end of short passages and in

confined spaces.

Technical improvements focus not only on driving comfort,

but also on easy operation. As a result, the operator now can

control all the main basic functions easily and conveniently

via the highly responsive multi-functional joystick in the

right-hand armrest.

Automated processes, such as automatic lowering and

raising of the milling and mixing rotor, the ergonomically

designed workplace, and an innovative reverse-assist

function, make the long, hot days on a dusty construction

site much more convenient for the operator, and improve

his daily productivity.

The optional four-high-resolution color camera can be

installed at various points of the machine to allow the

operator to monitor processes under way. Selection of view

is executed via joystick; the result is a significant increase in

performance, economic efficiency and work quality.

Mattracks Introduces the New 105 and 150 PlusMATTRACKS® recently introduced the new MT PLUS™

model, available in 2013 as part of the 105 and 150 MT

series.

Mattracks® has been converting 4-wheel drive trucks,

SUVs, tractors, ATVs and UTVs for more than 20 years.

When customers requested an even “larger footprint” than

is available in the market today for certain applications,

Mattracks’ engineers developed the new MT PLUS ™,

adding to the already extensive Mattracks® model lineup.

The new MT PLUS ™ has more “track” on the ground,

which will provide greater performance in deep snow or

soft soil conditions. With a 21” longer footprint on hard

surface and 33” more in soft soil conditions compared to the

standard 105/150 series; the rear track on the MT PLUS ™

provides unbelievable floatation in deep snow, sand, mud,

swamps or any challenging terrain. Its self cleaning system

allows the snow, sand, rocks, or any other debris to be

ejected from the inside of the track. Coupled with the tread

pattern and built in suspension the traction is outstanding,

while providing more than 50% greater footprint compared

to the standard 105/150 series. The PLUS system will fit

most ½ ton pickups and large SUVs.

New Trailer Brake Load-Apportioning-Valve for use with MICO MOBEUS EH Brake SystemsMICO, Incorporated introduces a trailer brake Load-

Apportioning-Valve (LAV) for use with MICO MOBEUS

EH brake systems on off-highway vehicles and trailers. The

new LAV proportions trailer brake pressure utilizing a tow

vehicle’s hydraulic brake signal in conjunction with real-

time trailer load sensing to continuously control pressure-

reduction braking to the trailer brakes without utilization

of tank-pressure. The result is load sensitive trailer braking

that reduces the occurrence of trailer wheel lock-up or

skidding.

Trailer load is sensed by the load apportioning valve and the

output pressure from the valve modifies output trailer brake

pressure in accordance with the current weight of the trailer

load. As trailer-load is increased or decreased, the trailer

brake pressure is changed proportionally. Lighter loads

induce lower trailer brake pressures whereas higher loads

result in higher trailer brake pressures.

what’s new»


«what’s new

MICO MOBEUS LAV provides several

benefits for the end user, including:

• Significant reduction in trailer wheel

lock-up and skidding

• Compatible with MICO MOBEUS

ABS systems and associated circuitry,

as well as other MICO braking

components and systems.

• Meets EU trailer safety requirements

• Fits with a variety of mounting

configurations

• Vehicle brake pressure is used

directly as the input to the LAV

• Wide temperature operating range of

-40 ºF to 176 ºF

Cost-effective system with simple

installation and no tank port necessary.

MICO MOBEUS EH systems are designed

to provide state-of-the-art vehicular

braking control of off-highway vehicles

and trailers.

New Digital Wireless Camera Viewing Device for Forklifts and EquipmentKeytroller, LLC recently the introduction

of it’s SEETROLLER digital wireless

camera viewing device. The digital

wireless camera system is specifically

designed for improving the safety of

forklifts and equipment. The retail price

for a one camera system with color 7” LCD

display is under $700.

Digital vs AnalogDigital wireless features FHSS technology

(Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum)

which uses a channel hopping sequence

based on an algorithm generated by

the receiver (LCD display). The 2.4GHz

(2.400-2.480GHz) band is divided into

sections or paths of 2MHz per section,

and each second, the transmission signal

hops hundreds of times in a specified

sequence within this frequency range.

The overall bandwidth required for

frequency hopping is much wider than

2MHz; however, because transmission

occurs only on a small section of this

bandwidth at any given time, the signal

being transmitted does not suffer from

greatly reduced signal degradation and also

avoids paths blocked by other devices that

act as sources of competing signals. The

strength of the signal being transmitted is

set to be from 13.5-16dBm, which is much

higher than the analog transmission signal

allowed by authorities around the globe. This

results in a sharp, clear picture, much longer

transmission range and not susceptible to

interference from machinery and microwave

“noise”.

A device pairing process synchronizes

the transmitter (TX, Camera) and the

receiver (RX LCD display). This allows the

transmitter and receiver to be on the same

frequency and use the same algorithm for

frequency hopping. This ensures that only

the paired transmitter and receiver can

maintain communication signal by hopping

to the same frequency paths at the exact

same time. As a result, the chance that other

devices within the same frequency range

are on the same frequency, at the same time

and in the same order is vastly reduced.

There is no interference from other cameras

(forklifts) that may be in the same area----

camera and LCD display remain paired.

Wireless vs WiredSEETROLLER wireless camera system

can be installed in a fraction of the time,

cost and hassle of a wired camera system.

SEETROLLER’S battery powered camera

is mounted on the forklift load backrest or

on the vehicle pointing to where you want

to see—there are wires to run up and down

the mast. The camera is turned on and off

remotely with a handheld FOB, and the 7”

color LCD display comes on automatically

when the signal is received and shuts off

within 3 minutes of loss of signal. The battery

is unplugged and recharged as necessary and

provides nearly 8 hours of power.

SEETROLLER’S LCD color display is

designed for the vibration issues found

on mobile equipment and features a

sunshade cover and adjustable mounting

bracket. The color camera features LEDs

that automatically come on to illuminate

the target in low light conditions. Clear

transmission range can be up to 300’ indoors

with no interference issues.

W.S. Tyler Adds Mobility to the Hydro-Clean™ Washing System Making it Easy to Transport from Job to Job, Site to Site

W.S. Tyler has added mobility to the

list of benefits of its innovative, highly

effective and environmentally friendly

Hydro-Clean™ washing system. The

company now offers the ability to

mount the machine on a chassis for

easy movement from place to place

within a quarry or even from jobsite to

jobsite.

Like the original Hydro-Clean,

the portable unit effectively cleans

deleterious material from aggregate,

recycled and other minerals. The

results are cleaner products with

higher selling value and profits

from material that was previously

considered waste. In the process, the

Hydro-Clean uses up to 75 percent

less water than traditional washers

and 15 percent less energy. And now,

the ability to easily move the units is

adding a new dimension of advantage

for users.

“The Hydro-Clean is unique in the

industry,” said Matthias Bremer,

innovation engineer at W.S. Tyler.

“Making it mobile delivers the

flexibility to locate washing closer

to the actual job and reposition it as

necessary to boost efficiency, while

delivering all the same profitability

and environmental benefits of a

stationary Hydro-Clean.”

The Hydro-Clean removes silt and clay particles faster than traditional methods,

which require soaking the material for long periods to loosen unwanted debris.

The Hydro-Clean also consumes considerably less water. Water consumption

ranges from 27 to 211 gallons per minute (GPM), depending on application and

model size, compared to log washers that can require up to 800 GPM. Of the total

volume of wastewater, up to 90 percent can be recycled and reused in the Hydro-

Clean, which only requires 10 percent fresh water to operate effectively. Using

recycled water reduces consumption even further, and that can help companies

comply with environmental and water usage regulations.

Hydro-Clean units require less energy than other washers, ranging from 34 HP

(26 kW) on the smallest of three models to 300 HP (225 kW) on the largest. With

that, the HC 350 can process up to 20 TPH, the HC 1000 can process up to 200

TPH and the HC 2000 can process up to 400 TPH.

Unlike a traditional washing unit, which can require up to three screens along

with a log washer or screw, the Hydro-Clean only requires a single rinse screen

for discharged material. The only other requirements are a water source, a pump

station and a feed conveyor.

[continued on page A13]

Clean material at the discharge end of the HC 1000, which can process up to 200 TPH.

A conveyor feeds material into the hopper of the HC 2000.


When it comes to family business succession

planning, one thing is certain: Most family

business leaders don’t do it, they don’t do it well, or they

wait to do it until it’s too late. While the CEO longevity

in non-family businesses is an average of six years, for

a family owned businesses CEOs tend to stay for 20-25

years.

Sure, that long tenure contributes to leadership stability

and consistency, but it can also fuel flat growth, narrow

business focus, and decreasing leadership drive.

Additionally, when the CEO and other top level executive

family members do not step aside in a timely manner, it

causes a high level of frustration in the next generation

who is ready to charge forward and make their mark.

Once it becomes clear that the children might reach their

mid to late fifties before taking over, it becomes hard

to hold on to the ambitious ones. That’s why all family

businesses need to have a solid succession plan in place—

one that helps the senior generation leave with ease and

welcomes the well-prepared next generation.

While succession planning can happen at any level within

the organization, we commonly think about the top five

to eight key positions for a written, structured succession

plan. So as you plan your company’s future leadership,

keep these points in mind.

Think beyond seniority. Many family business

executives choose their future leaders based on seniority

(i.e.: “She’s the oldest, so she will be our next CEO.”).

In some families, the next in line is the oldest male. Of

course, a single owner can make the easy decision to pass

the business leadership to the child of their choice. But

this “easy” choice can backfire if the adult child or the one

with the most seniority has not gained respect from other

family members and employees. In other words, often

the easy choice or the obvious choice isn’t the best choice.

Therefore, be open to broadening your search beyond the

next of kin.

Embrace a more professional process

of skill evaluations, performance

assessments, and reviews of career history.

The more thoughtful, objective, and inclusive the process

of bringing on the next leader is, the more likely that the

transition will be embraced. Succession readiness calls for

a written transition plan and an individual development

plan for the future CEO within three years of the planned

succession date. Implementation of the plan may involve

identifying other executive team members with succession

needs, building a coaching plan, and providing stretch

assignments in different functional areas of the company.

Rank possible successors based on key

criteria. Rather than just appoint the next oldest family

member to the leadership role, consider creating a list of

all the possible successors and rank them, from 1 to 10

(with 10 being high), in each of the following areas:

• Past work experience and advancement history

• Education

• Geographic mobility, if appropriate

• Learning agility

• Prior leadership positions—size and scope of

leadership responsibilities

• Advancement potential

• Advancement desire

• Interpersonal skills

• Assessment of the individual compared to the

company’s values and leadership competencies

• Past performance ratings

• The ability to take risks

• Decision-making ability

• Problem-solving ability

Doing this for each potential successor will help you see

which ones are best positioned to move the company

forward. Finding a successor with the right mix of skills,

attitude, drive, character, and experience that matches

your business will ensure the family company succeeds for

the long term.

Groom the next generation. Once you have a

successor in mind, offer him/her additional development

through such things as job rotations, stretch assignments,

additional profit and loss responsibility, and additional

exposure to board members and customers. The more

emphasis you place on prepping the next leader, the

smoother the transition will be.

Consider a non-family leader. When a family

business member utters the words, “Let’s consider a

non-family CEO,” the first reply is usually a colorful no!

However, a non-family CEO frequently brings diverse,

in-depth experience to drive business growth, bringing

professional alliances, partnerships, and strategy

opportunities. They can be a great mentor for the next

generation of family leaders—often then known as a

“bridge CEO” from one generation to the next. While

the family may hold all the stock, it is critical to develop

a performance incentive that will reward and retain the

non-family CEO and an employment agreement that will

fairly treat and protect the CEO.

Choose Who’s NextThoughtful, on-going planning for succession is a must for

long-term business success and sustainability. Therefore,

start now. Develop a clear plan about the succession of

senior leader positions, including who will be next, when

the transition will take place, and how that successor

will be groomed to make the move smoother. The more

planning you do now, the better the future will be—for you

and your family business.

Preventing Metal Fatigue from Ruining Flatbed Trailers

Probably the last thing you can

afford to waste these days is

an expensive flatbed trailer.

Across the country, many contractors

and farmers, still stretched thin from

the past few years look to cut costs and

reduce waste in any way possible.

Saving on equipment, which includes

not having to replace broken and

failed equipment, is vital. Contractors

are constantly moving equipment. To

do this cost effectively, they depend on

heavy-duty flatbed trailers – yet metal

fatigue sends many to the scrap mill

too soon, greatly increasing operating

expenses.

The repeated loading and unloading of

heavy items can strain a trailer’s frame

and supports. So can loads brought in

from the side, trailer flex from loads

coming up the ramp, and stress from

driving through fields, ditches, over

berms, railroad tracks and rough

terrain. If the loads are above a certain

threshold, microscopic cracks will

begin to form. Eventually a crack will

reach a critical size, and the metal will

suddenly fracture.

“You’d be surprised at how much metal

fatigue occurs if you run standard

channel iron or angle iron built

trailers at the maximum allowable

load,” says Philip McCullough, a

former farmer who is now General

Manager at Gajeske Inc., a Houston-

based distributor of polyethylene

pipe, valves, fittings, fabrications and

fusion equipment. “If you start seeing

microfractures, you have to act quickly

or they can turn into a much bigger

problem. Previously, we had to retire

trailers because they started cracking.”

According to McCullough, when a

manufacturer does not support critical

areas of the trailer, metal fatigue can

develop and “creep” throughout the

trailer. As other areas compensate

for the metal fatigue, they become

overstressed themselves.

Knowing what to look for in a heavy-

duty flatbed trailer can prevent metal

fatigue and safely, cost-effectively

extend its useful life. First, it must

be properly engineered to protect the

main beam. The flatbed boards can

be replaced, the tires can be replaced,

the couplers can be replaced, but if the

main beam develops metal fatigue, the

trailer will not last.

McCullough, who recently purchased

six heavy-duty Red Rhino flatbed

trailers offered by GoBob Pipe

and Steel, an Oklahoma-based

manufacturer of work trailers that

meet or exceed NATM and DOT

requirements, identified a number of

features that gave him confidence in

their reliability and longevity. Given

about 50,000 annual miles of use per

trailer, McCullough estimates ROI as

fast as 18 months on the new flatbed

trailers in reduced maintenance-

replacement cost and streamlined

operations.

“One thing I looked for was a torsion

tube under the trailer frame that can

take twisting stress from loading and

unloading off the main beam,” says

McCullough. The torsion tube on

these trailers is made of 4-1/2” OD

pipe that runs down center of the

trailer frame and is tied to the main

beam at three points.

Knowing what to look for can prevent metal fatigue from ending the useful life of heavy-duty flatbed trailers.

When Rick Yount bought a new flatbed trailer, longevity,

customization and value were the issues he focused on.

“If you load an inferior trailer, metal fatigue can get you in

trouble quick if it causes you to drop your load,” says Yount,

whose previous 20-foot tandem flatbed trailer was not long

enough to haul his tractor, mower, rototiller, scrapers, hydraulic

disc, and other equipment and supplies as needed.

Yount compared a number of trailers, but found what he was

seeking in a 26-foot Red Rhino flatbed trailer with a 6-foot

beaver tail ramp.

“At a glance you can tell the trailer is built to last, and they

were willing to customize it at a price that beat 99 percent of

the manufacturers I looked at,” concludes Yount. “Under the

flatbed, instead of 24 or 18-inch cross bracing, channel iron,

and no paint, I got 16-inch centered cross bracing, rectangular

steel tubing, and full paint. I got a steel main deck, built long

to haul all my implements, and a reinforced 6-foot ramp for

easy loading at a gentle angle. My flatbed trailer will last the

rest of my life, and then my son will use it.”

Located in Mounds, Oklahoma, GoBob Pipe and Steel offers a complete selection of flatbed trailers and hay trailers, including a new Red Rhino Hydraulic Dovetail trailer, featuring the unique (patent pending) HydraSled, hydraulic dovetail locking system. A video of this innovative device can be viewed at www.gobobpipe.com. The company can be reached at 1-866-532-9123.

preventative maintenance» FLATBED TRAILERS

[continued on next page]


A second flatbed trailer feature to look for is rectangular

steel tubing used in the frame, bumper, and tail lights.

The four-sided structural shape of rectangular steel tub-

ing can add strength without much weight, maximizing

payload capacity. Yet some trailer manufacturers use

channel iron – or worse, angle iron – for side rails, cross-

members, and rear bumpers.

“Rectangular steel tubing like this tends to disperse stress

more evenly with its four sides than channel iron, where

the trailer flex is concentrated on a two-sided weld, if the

manufacturer welds it at all,” says McCullough. “Unlike

angle iron which tends to rust and accumulate debris,

rectangular tubing is stronger and stays cleaner.”

Because the rear bumper is susceptible to impact from

the loading tractor and rough ground, it has to be tough.

Additionally, it should be positioned to protect taillights

from being torn out, particularly in a dovetail configura-

tion where the lights sit closer to the ground. For added

protection, the trailer bumpers use the same rectangular

steel tubing the frame is constructed from. The taillights,

including wiring, are enclosed in frame material and pro-

tected by the bumper, to deter the loader or rough ground

from knocking them off.

“Unless the loader aims for the taillights, they’re just

about impossible to tear up,” says McCullough. “In our

low-slung dovetail configuration, our tail lights have drug

on rough ground without damage.”

To reduce stress when loading and unloading, a reinforced

ramp is also important. This can transfer loading weight

to the ground and keep additional flexing off of the main

beam and structure.

Some ramps come standard with adjustable, spring assist-

ed, load equalizers, which can relieve stress on the trailer’s

main beam and enable the loading of standalone trailers,

unhitched to a truck. This can streamline loading and

unloading operations tremendously. Without load equal-

izers, unequal equipment loading can stress the trailer’s

main beams and even lift the rear end of the truck when

the load is heavy.

“Look for a reinforced ramp and load equalizers,” says

McCullough. “Without them, you get trailer flex from the

load coming up the ramp. An unequalized load pushes

the trailer down in back and lifts the front, with the weight

pivoting on the axles, adding unnecessary stress and met-

al fatigue.”

“Since we have multiple drivers and trailers, I sometimes

need to load a trailer before I have a driver,” adds Mc-

Cullough. “With the reinforced ramp and load equalizers,

I can leave a trailer loaded for the driver, which stream-

lines operations. When he gets in, he just backs up, un-

hooks the old trailer, hooks up the new trailer, and leaves.

I don’t pay overtime for staff waiting for the driver to ar-

rive, or to share a forklift. By pre-loading the trailers, we

can save from an hour to half a day in staffing cost.”

Preventing Metal Fatigue Equipment Financing Means Flexible Solutions for Unique Business NeedsEconomic times are challenging many businesses today, and the current economic environment poses even greater difficulties for entrepreneurial startups and small businesses that are struggling to get established, grow or just stay in business. The characteristic innovation, agility and hard work of these businesses are precisely what the U.S. economy needs to get moving again; however, their nature of being newer, less capitalized or less established creates a catch-22 that impedes their ability to secure the credit they need. That’s why it has never been more important for startups and small businesses to understand their options for financing the equipment needed to operate and grow their businesses.

Acquiring equipment through leasing and other financing methods is more flexible and customizable to meet unique business needs than most funding options. This makes equipment finance a perfect fit for startups and small businesses, both of which may have trouble getting traditional bank loans. With equipment finance, there’s no jumping through the same hoops as with commercial and industrial loans. For example, typically most lenders want to see two years of financials, which startups, by definition, don’t have.

Equipment finance is a $725 billion industry in the United States, and it is easy to find industry participants who customize their service offerings by end user industry, equipment type, ticket size or end user business size. There are equipment finance companies that offer special programs for startups, and companies that specialize in services for small and mid-size businesses. The important thing to remember is that equipment finance companies offer flexible options that help equip all types of businesses for success.

This is a particularly good time to finance equipment because there is so much liquidity in the marketplace. There are many funding sources—leasing companies and banks—that are looking to lend because they have the cash available to deploy. So, a highly competitive marketplace makes this a favorable time for end users to finance productive equipment.

Key Benefits for Unique Business Needs

In addition to current finance market conditions, the many benefits of equipment financing provide any number of reasons why it is an advantageous option for businesses. The following are among the most compelling benefits for the financial and operational needs of startups and small businesses:

• 100 percent financing with no down payment. Unlike with most traditional lenders, it is possible to arrange 100 percent financing of equipment with no down payment. This is a critical benefit since cash flow is often a concern for small and new businesses. Holding on to cash, or working capital, enables it to be used for other areas of the business, such as expansion, improvements, marketing or R&D.

• Elimination of risk of ownership. A business just starting out can use equipment financing to help mitigate the uncertainty of investing in a capital asset until it achieves a desired return, increases efficiency, saves costs or meets other business objectives.

• Expense planning for cash flow and business cycle fluctuations. Financing equipment helps maintain cash flow and greater certainty in budgeting by setting customized rent payments to match cash flow and even seasonal cash flows.

• Meet the business’s equipment needs. Leasing, loans or other financing enables businesses to acquire more and better equipment than they could have without financing. It is more feasible to make monthly payments than to make large cash outlays for equipment up front.

• Updated technology/Obsolescence management. To be on the cutting edge and be competitive, businesses need access to new technology. Certain leasing finance programs allow for technology upgrades and/or replacements within the term of the lease contract. Also, since the lessor owns the equipment, it bears the risk of the equipment becoming obsolete.

There are many additional features of using leasing or other financing to acquire equipment that are also highly beneficial. The equipment expertise of equipment finance representatives makes them valued consultant to end users, providing services that range from setting residual rates through lifecycle asset management solutions. Many financing companies provide asset management services that track the status of equipment, know when to upgrade or update it, and provide services relating to installation, use, maintenance, de-installation and disposal of the equipment. Equipment disposal, particularly of computers and IT equipment, can prevent end users from incurring legal penalties for improperly disposing of such assets, which are often regulated by federal, state and local governments. Equipment management by a third party, such as an equipment financing company, can enhance the ability of a business to focus on its core operations. Equipment financing can even hedge against inflation because instead of paying the total cost of equipment up front or with a large down payment in today’s dollars, the stream of payments delays the outlay of funds.

Preparing with thorough, accurate information will enable businesses to get the equipment they need at the best possible terms.

The unit comprises a vertical drum-shaped washing container with a feed hopper

at its entry and a conveyor belt at its discharge. The washing chamber contains

a rotating washing head with several water nozzles mounted on the top of the

chamber. It also features polyurethane panels that line the washing chamber and

variable height adjustment at the rotary wash head.

The Hydro-Clean is ideal for use in clay-heavy material deposits. Operators feed

dirty material into the washing drum through the hopper. The high-pressure

water nozzles mounted on the washing head spread and wash the material to

break up agglomerates and fully clean even the holes, cracks and deep areas of

porous materials, irregular rocks and other stubborn materials.

During the cleaning process, turbulence is created in the drum, providing

scrubbing and abrasive forces that enhance the cleaning process. The washed

material works its way down the drum andexits onto a discharge conveyor that

leads to a standard rinse screen, removing any remaining dirt or clay still on the

stone as it fractionates the material. The resulting dirty water flows through the

screen media and is collected by a waste water pipe, which sends the water to a

treatment system for additional fine screening or discharges it directly to any

other area.

Operators can adjust the discharge belt and control the feeding system to

accommodate various types of bulk material up to 6 inches (150 mm). The

distance between the unit’s washing rotor and its material bed is variable to

allow the system to adapt to various material types. Level sensors located at

the material feed inlet provide exact data to the PLC control unit, ensuring a

consistent material flow into the system.

The Hydro-Clean also weighs up to 60 percent less than traditional washers with

comparable production capabilities. Due to that compact size and weight, the unit

is easy to transport and overall operating and structural costs are considerably

lower than systems that require more equipment and a larger footprint. Hydro-

Clean washing units also feature a maintenance-friendly design that allows for

easy exchange of the few standard components that are subject to wear.

W.S. Tyler is a member of the wholly owned German-based Haver & Tyler

Processing Technology Alliance, and a leading manufacturer, systems provider

and specialist in the screening, washing and pelletizing industry. Focused on

all aspects of the screening circle, from particle analysis and screen media, to

vibrating screens and processing technology, as well as screening services, it’s the

company’s mission to bring new approaches and technologies to the marketplace.

With deep roots and years of experience in the screening business, W.S. Tyler is

able to effectively meet the needs of customers around the world.

For more information call 800-325-5993 or visit the website at www.wstyler.ca.

The Hydro-Clean system requires just one rinse screen for discharged material.

With the mobility of Hydro-Clean units, washing systems can be located at almost any processing site.

The HC 350 is shown mounted to a double-axle chassis.


New, innovative Schweiss Moving Gate gives versatilitySchweiss one-piece hydraulic and patented lift strap bifold doors have been on the market for years. Schweiss now has a newcomer on the scene — the Schweiss Moving Gate.

The Schweiss Moving Gate still utilizes the patented liftstraps, but instead of folding like a bifold door or outward like a hydraulic door, it lifts straight upward. The gate is a perfect solution for a room divider and cladding materials can come in multiple applications or combined with metal, glass or other materials to your liking.

A perfect example of this was a first-of-its-kind Schweiss “Gate” built by Schweiss Doors for “The Paw,” an upscale dog and cat resort. The owner of the 27,000 sq. ft. luxury pet resort needed a room divider gate – wall if you wish – to separate a 96 ft. room in half for dog training and handling purposes. Who you gonna call? Schweiss Doors.

What made this Schweiss 46 ft. wide, 1,500 lb. multiple-function designer gate different was how Schweiss Doors built it to his personal gate design. He wanted a quiet and smooth operating Schweiss gate that stood about head high with the top half of see through polycarbonate panels and below that utilized steel paneling.

This particular Schweiss gate allows humans and animals to see across to the other side of the room without having to raise the Schweiss gate. A

push button control on the side wall lifts the Schweiss gate conveniently out of sight and the Schweiss gate lifts in less than a minute.

Schweiss Doors designed it to lift straight up to the high ceiling, up and out of the way when not in use. Five popular patented Schweiss Bifold liftstraps and a 2 h.p. top-mounted Schweiss quality electric motor easily and quietly lift the Schweiss Moving Gate.

The owner was absolutely needing a safe gate that would not cause harm to humans or animals in the public facility. He also noted that it was reasonably priced and comparative in price to a pocket door, but much easier to use. He enjoyed working with the professional Schweiss design team to get this designer gate done.

The Schweiss gate now virtually gives the animal resort two rooms to work in, or when in the up position, a larger room.

Kencove Nitro revolutionizes the way we drive postsKencove Farm Fence Supplies announces their new self-contained post driver, the Kencove Nitro. Designed for durability, safety, and ease of operation, the Nitro surprised even the experts. The Kencove Nitro works by hydraulically compressing nitrogen gas and transferring the energy directly to the hammer head, a revolutionary technology in the fence industry. With only 2 inches of stroke, the unit drives posts rapidly with hydraulic down pressure and 500-800 beats per minute. The short hammer stroke reduces damage to the posts.

The Nitro attaches to most mid-size skid loaders using the universal quick attach plate and is the safest driver on the market. Once the post is set, the skid loader operator controls all operations of the Nitro from the cab while the next post is being placed. The 10’ chain can be used as a plumb-bob for the operator or to pull posts. With only 1 grease fitting and minimal moving parts, the Nitro will provide years of low cost operation. One tank of nitrogen will provide approximately 150 to 200 hours of work. A low center of gravity allows for ease of use, storage, and transport. Kencove offers

a 1 year warranty on the Nitro post driver. (Warranty excludes chain and hook.)

Since 1980, Kencove has committed itself to serving farmers and fence builders with fast, friendly service and expert advice. To learn more, please visit www.kencove.com or call 1-800-KENCOVE.

The unique trailer that quickly pays for itselfAir ride suspension systems have been in common use for over forty years and have proven to provide the smoothest and most shock-free ride of any known vehicle suspension system.

Air-tow Trailers provide extremely smooth ride quality and air ride suspension with a system that automatically adjusts air pressure in the air bag so the trailer always rides at the same height - whether lightly or heavily loaded. The higher air bag pressure automatically provides a stiffer suspension which is exactly what is required for a smooth ride. The lower air bag pressure for lighter loads provides a softer suspension, thus providing the same ride quality for all trailer loading conditions. Since each axle is independently supported by its own air bag, the air ride suspension is a truly, fully independent suspension system.

Ground level loading eliminates the need for difficult tilt beds or dangerous loading ramps. Since the deck remains level at all times, it is easy for one person to load multiple items. It eliminates the possibility of injury from handling heavy ramps or having equipment slip while loading.

Air-tow Trailers are ideal for loading equipment with poor traction at low ground clearance such as scissor lifts, pavement sweepers, compactors, rollers, etc. The low ramp angle also makes hand loading of heavy items such as safes, vending machines, ATM machines, and appliances safe and easy.

The Paw, an exclusive dog and cat resort in Minnesota had Schweiss Doors install a 46 ft. liftstrap moving gate. The gate lifts to the ceiling when open and divides a 96 ft. room in half when down.

Premium rubber protection available for construction equipmentAge-Master #1® rubber protectant is a surface treatment that has protected military, industrial, aviation and space equipment from rubber “dry rot” since 1969. This protection against cracking, loss of strength and flexibility is now available for construction equipment.

When painted onto tires, tracks, hoses, belts, bushings, or other rubber parts, it penetrates and dries in minutes, leaving no slick or oily residue. The strength, f lexibility and traction properties of rubber are not affected, and this penetrating protection will not peel or wash off.

Put science to work for you.

Rubber “dry rot” is caused by UV rays, oxidation, and ozone in the environment. Age-Master #1® works by adding a chemical barrier to rubber that reacts with these harmful elements before rubber can be damaged. This protection is especially effective for equipment exposed to hot, sunny environments.

Benefits include:

• Longer service life for lower replacement costs.

• Less repair downtime.

• Improved readiness of equipment in storage.

• Meets Military Specifications.

Age-Master No.1® was developed by a chemical engineer with over twenty years of experience in the rubber industry, including research and development for major U.S. tire manufacturers. Extensive study and testing culminated in development of this long lasting, cost effective way for protecting rubber from the harmful effects of ozone and ultra violet light associated with aging and weathering, often referred to as "dry rot." Initially used for specialized military applications, Age-Master No.1 has proven effective at extending the service life of a variety of rubber components, reducing replacement costs and down time for savings in many industrial and commercial applications.
