  • Company Says 2019 Production Run Already Sold Out

    Bobcat announced that the first of the company’s new E10e zero tail swing (ZTS) 1 tonne battery-powered mini-excavators has come off the production line at the Bobcat compact equipment manufacturing plant at Dobris in the Czech Republic.

    Finished at 1:08 pm on 11th July 2019, the first E10e off the line has the Serial Number B4KL11001. It is headed to the Netherlands to the Authorised Bobcat Dealer, Apeldoorn-based Inter-Techno, where it will be used as a demo machine and is available for hire from Inter-Techno’s partner company, 123Machineverhuur.

    Doosan Bobcat has chosen the Dobris factory to produce the E10e for all markets worldwide, with the first machines to be sold in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), with North America and then Asian markets to follow. The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Norway are the first to be selected in Europe, in line with research that shows the highest demand is in these countries. Subsequent sales of the E10e in other countries will depend on the readiness of markets, dealers and the demand from customers.

  • Shearforce Equipment Picks Up Where Terrafirma Left Off In Northern Alberta

    ShearForce Equipment and key former employees of TerraFirma Equipment has announced that they are joining forces in northern Alberta to provide sales, rentals, parts, and repair and maintenance services for hydraulic excavator attachments. They are not only expanding their regional support capacity across northern Alberta, but also the product lines they can service and repair. The news comes following the announcement of the closure of Terrafirma Equipment Sales and Rentals Inc. in Edmonton, a long-standing equipment dealer with more than 50 years of dedication and experience in servicing their rental and sales customers across northern Alberta. With the opening of their new sales and service center in Airdrie, Alberta, this past July, the move cements ShearForce as Western Canada’s hydraulic attachment specialists, now offering local on-the-ground support across BC and Alberta.

    Three familiar faces from Terrafirma have joined the ShearForce team in northern Alberta to ensure Terrafirma’s current customers are sufficiently supported and their equipment needs are met now and into the future. Dave Rock is continuing on in his role as operations manager for a brand-new facility just outside of Edmonton and will focus on meeting equipment needs in northern Alberta, northeastern BC, northern Saskatchewan and beyond. Heavy-duty technician Justin Rasmussen will continue to provide top notch technical support across the northern region. Jessica Hansen will carry on in her role as product support and office coordinator. ShearForce has secured a new facility in Nisku and will offer in-shop services including attachment rebuilds and machine hydraulic setups in the coming weeks. Dave, Justin, and Jessica will also be working closely with the team at ShearForce’s Airdrie facility to ensure parts and services are readily available to customers across the province.

  • Terramac Plans For An Exciting Exhibit At ICUEE 2019

    Terramac, a leading manufacturer of innovative rubber track crawler carriers, is preparing for an exciting display at ICUEE 2019, held October 1-3 at the Kentucky Exposition Center. Terramac will exhibit its latest specialty units and technologies at booth N2030.
    Terramac’s most compact model yet, the RT6U designed for utility applications, will be on display with a Terex Commander 4047 digger derrick. This new specialty unit provides utility contractors an all-in-one equipment solution for safely and efficiently constructing, maintaining and restoring power. The RT6U boasts a compact footprint of 25’ 8” x 8’ 2”, which makes it ideal for jobs that are in tight spaces but don’t require the payload of a larger unit. The RT6U can also be easily loaded onto a tag trailer and hauled by line trucks from jobsite to jobsite.
    Terramac’s heavy-duty RT14U crawler carrier equipped with a Terex RMX 75 aerial device will also be exhibited at ICUEE 2019. This specialty utility model provides the ultimate versatility for either aerial material handling or personnel lifting. The RT14U accommodates taller lifting devices and heavyweight support equipment with superior durability, while also offering more torque and power than other crawler carriers in its class. This robust unit is especially useful for utility jobsites that are located in remote areas where it is difficult for larger, wheeled machinery to access.
    Terramac will showcase the customization capabilities of its utility units. Compared to standard Terramac models, the new utility carriers are built with a unique extended frame and hydraulic mount system. This frame adjustment simplifies the mounting process to accommodate a variety of utility support equipment, including: lineman winches, vacuum excavators, boom lifts, concrete mixers and service cranes. Terramac will also highlight the units’ innovative rubber track technology and low ground pressure, which enable utility crews to easily maneuver through adverse ground conditions and climb faster on steep and hilly terrain.
    The Terramac exhibit at ICUEE 2019 is located in the Lift & Haul Demo Lot (N), booth N2030. Product experts will be readily available to assist attendees, conduct product walk-arounds, and answer questions.
